International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

Over 100 countries now use International Financial Reporting Standards, a number that is set to rise to around 150 countries over the next five years. If you are an ambitious, internationally-active growing organisation with plans to expand into overseas markets, you need precise, tailored advice on IFRS.

International expansion plans often involve cross-border acquisitions or joint ventures abroad, raising international debt finance, developing relationships with private equity houses or raising capital from the equity markets, whether at home or abroad. Such transactions are increasingly likely to call for a detailed understanding of IFRS.

Around the world, we have experts in IFRS who have developed over a number of years an in-depth expertise in IFRS and their implications in local markets. The IFRS experts within RSM will support and guide your business through a range of potentially complex IFRS issues.
