International Accounting Standards 

International Accounting Standards were hitherto pronounced bv International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC )  .IASC was  founded in June 1973 as a result of an agreement by accountancy bodies in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Ireland and the United States, and these countries constituted the Board of IASC at that time.

IASC has been superseded in April, 2001 by The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) In March 2001, the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) Foundation was formed as a not-for-profit corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware, US as a  parent entity of the IASB.

 

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) is an independent, privately-funded accounting standard-setter based in London, UK. The Board members come from nine countries and have a variety of functional backgrounds.  In addition, the IASB co-operates with national accounting standard-setters to achieve convergence in accounting standards around the world .

 

IASB publishes its Standards in a series of pronouncements called International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). It has also adopted the body of Standards issued by the Board of the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC). Those pronouncements continue to be designated "International Accounting Standards" (IAS).
