What is the procedure to set these standards?

International financial reporting standards (IFRS) represent a set of generally


accepted accounting principles (GAAP) which is used by different companies to
prepare financial statements.

While setting these standards, it is the intention of the International Accounting


Standards Board (IASB) that they must develop a single set of understandable and
enforceable high quality worldwide accounting standards. However, International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB) cannot enforce compliance with its standards on
their own. So it partners up for the co-operation of the major national setters.
