The IASB Investor Perspectives articles aim to make it easy for investors to keep up to speed on changes in the world of International Financial Reporting Standards and how those changes may affect an investor’s day job.
The articles are written by IASB members or as guest contributions by investors, and profile the impact that future Accounting Standards or proposals may have on your analysis of performance and in comparing financial statements across companies. We encourage investors to read these articles and share their thoughts on the direction we are taking.
