IFRS conversions should be managed in phases and work streams. The assessment phase is one of the most important phases, identifying accounting and reporting differences and assessing their impact on IT-systems, processes and the way to manage business. In the design phase, accounting policies are defined, blueprints for IT-system changes created and training modules prepared. In the final phase, all designed changes must be implemented and rolled-out
