Since 2005 all listed companies in the European Union (EU) have been required to prepare consolidated company accounts in compliance with international financial reporting standards (IFRS). In many other parts of the world there is an increased acceleration towards adoption of IFRS or for the harmonization of national accounting standards with IFRS.
