A Comparative Evaluation of the IFRS/IAS and the EU Accounting Directive: Differences, Similarities and Conflicts

Abstract

With confidence in the regulation of the market severely shaken, the European Commission has had to adopt a comprehensive package of measures to bring about economic recovery and sustainable growth. One method included in the package has been the simplification of financial reporting requirements of firms. Published with the aim of harmonizing legal reporting, facilitating cross-border investment, improving financial comparability and increasing public confidence in financial/management reports by use of enhanced/consistent specific disclosures, the Accounting Directive differentiates from IFRS/IAS. With this in mind, this paper will attempt to identify differences, similarities and conflicts under both sets of standards.
