What's the added education guidance?
This book is particularly useful to those applying, teaching or studying IFRS.  Cross-references guide readers through IFRS and facilitate their understanding by providing the connection between:
- related IFRSs;
- IFRSs and their accompanying Illustrative Examples and Implementation Guidance; and
- IFRSs and the IASB's main considerations in reaching its conclusions (ie the Bases for Conclusions).
In addition, footnotes summarise technical issues considered but rejected by the IFRS Interpretations Committee.

This edition is presented in two volume parts:

• Part A (the Conceptual Framework and requirements) contains the complete and up-to-date consolidated text, with extensive cross-references and other annotations, of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IASs), and IFRIC and SIC Interpretations; and
• Part B contains the accompanying documents, such as Illustrative Examples, Implementation Guidance, Bases for Conclusions and Dissenting Opinions.
