Ernst & Young Library of International Financial Reporting Standards
The move to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is
the single most important initiative in the financial reporting
world. Its impact stretches far beyond accounting to affect every
key business decision, not just how it is reported. Access to
up-to-date knowledge, insights and timely advice is essential. As
IFRS becomes the financial reporting language in many more
countries, consistent interpretation and application becomes ever
more vital. We have developed the global resources — people and
knowledge — to provide the benefit of our broad sector experience,
our subject matter knowledge and the latest insights from our
worldwide network.

interest. The site, which is totally free of charge, has a broad
array of resources about the International Accounting Standards
Board and International Financial Reporting Standards. Free access is available at

PricewaterhouseCoopers IFRS Ready
The globalization of business and finance has led to the successful
mass adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
by over 12,000 companies in over 100 countries. To meet this demand,
the development of IFRS knowledge has started inside the firm
through extensive professional education efforts. PwC believes it is
also important for our new hires to have sufficient knowledge and
skills about IFRS to transition easily into our practice. Because
IFRS is new content for students, professors and business schools,
PwC is providing learning opportunities for use by students and
faculty. All PwC faculty resources are available
here.
