IFRS Foundation Debuts Online Tools for IFRS Content

The IFRS Foundation has launched eIFRS Professional, a new way for accountants to access information online about International Financial Reporting Standards.

eIFRS Professional is designed to provide accountants with online access to authoritative, annotated versions of IFRS and the supporting materials. Subscribers to the service will get a new Standards Comparison tool that will allow them to view changes in a standard between the current, prior and subsequent years.

A new user interface offers access to all IFRS content in less than three clicks. eIFRS Professional also provides a new search facility with filtering options.

Users will also get access to the IFRS Foundation’s education resources, including annotated notes to the standards, executive briefing materials and the IFRS Pocket Guide. The service also provides full access to the IFRS Foundation’s entire archive of IFRS content in multiple languages spanning nearly four decades.

“eIFRS Professional represents a step change in the online resources available to accounting professionals, whether they are preparers, auditors, academics, students or others,” said IFRS Foundation executive director Yael Almog in a statement. . eIFRS is today the authoritative IFRS online product on the market with unique features, raising the bar for ease of use when accessing online IFRS content. We are proud and happy to introduce a product which we developed after extensive customer feedback.”

In addition to the launch of eIFRS Professional, the IFRS Foundation is also making available new versions of the other components of its eIFRS suite of online resources.  eIFRS Basic provides users with limited access to the basic IFRS Standards, while eIFRS Comprehensive includes a subscription to eIFRS Professional as well as offline, print editions of the standards and other materials.  Existing subscribers to eIFRS will automatically be upgraded to eIFRS Professional.
