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.

Deloitte: IFRS e-Learning
A comprehensive set of e-learning materials on IFRS, launched by Deloitte in 2004. A total of 35 modules have been released, one for each IAS and IFRS. After releasing the program internally, Deloitte decided to make it available to the public at large without charge, in the public 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 www.iasplus.com.

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.
