IAS and IFRS are catchwords for the future. Due to the introduction of section 315a of the commercial law listed businesses are obliged to produce a consolidated account according to the guidelines of IAS and IFRS. Businesses, which are not listed on the stock market, can electively decide to create their account according to either IAS or IFRS. By introducing section 315a of the commercial law, the German legislator responded to an EU guideline, through which the introduction of IAS/IFRS became obligatory.
In comparison to other European states the introduction by the German legislator is considerably more restrictive. In different countries in the EU the creation of single accounts according to IAS/IFRS is possible already. Due to global striving for internationally uniform accounting standards we reckon on a further advance of IAS/IFRS in the future.
