How the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) will work together to develop International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS).
The global joining of accounting standards is not another thought. The idea of
convergence was conceived in the late 1950s in light of post-World War II financial coordination
and related increments in cross-outskirt capital streams. The Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) reliably has bolstered meeting of worldwide bookkeeping guidelines, IASB
and FASB create International Financial Reporting Standards to synchronize all bookkeeping
and monetary announcing in a typical stage. AS such, the same are justifiable and similar
crosswise over all around. IASB is a free standard-setting board. The endeavors will concentrate
on harmonization—lessening contrasts among the bookkeeping standards utilized as a part of
significant capital markets the world over. If the two organizations can manage to collaborate
and work together in a seamless way, they will make sure that there is uniformity in the way the

the world. There is, therefore, a likelihood that the existing disparities in the way the accounting
standards are applied in the different regions of the world are eliminated.

Standards Committee. The IASB manages the advancement of International Financial Reporting
Standards and advancing the utilization of these guidelines. The IASB situated in the UK capital
London is a bookkeeping standard setter, which is autonomous and financed privately (Kieso,
2010).
The FASB is situated in the United States and appeared in 1973. It supplanted the
Accounting Principles Board (APB) and the Committee on Accounting Procedure (CAP). The
