Financial Reporting & Accounting Standards

Financial Reporting & Accounting Standards

KPMG can advise on applying Australian accounting standards and help deliver transparent financial information for shareholders and regulators.

KPMG has extensive experience in applying Australian accounting standards.

By adopting International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS® Standards), Australia is delivering more transparent financial information for shareholders and regulators.

Australian accounting standards are based on IFRS Standards. While there has been some debate around certain standards, overall the transparency of financial results has been important to users in managing their way through the global financial crisis and the volatility resulting from ongoing disruptions.

Of course, accounting standards continue to evolve. Understanding and keeping up with on-going revisions and amendments is an important responsibility for commercial entities.

Seeking professional advice will ensure you are well informed and prepared for the developments in accounting and reporting practice that are most relevant to you.
