Abstract

The article looks at the attitude of auditors towards International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Many feel that IFRS undermines the integrity of financial reporting in Great Britain. Problems with IFRS and fair value are discussed. The results of a survey on IFRS are presented in which most respondents are critical of the standards.
