International Accounting

The continuing globalisation of markets and company operations results in an increasing requirement on the part of both investors and analysts for directly comparable financial information. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) seek, among other things, to meet this requirement.

IFRS – for internationally comparably financial statements

The implementation of IFRS in the production of consolidated financial statements for capital market-oriented companies based in the EU is mandatory; but increasingly companies which are not capital market-oriented but which have cross-border operations are being pulled in the same direction. Their stakeholders, especially the financing banks, but also customers and suppliers operating internationally, are increasingly demanding internationally comparable financial statements. To meet these requirements for financial reporting in the future, companies are currently implementing systems to facilitate the move from financial statements prepared in accordance with regulations under commercial law (German Commercial Code (HGB)) to financial statements prepared in accordance with international accounting standards.
