The IAASB Liaison Working Group has coordinated with the Staff of the IASB to understand better how the IFRS Foundation’s recent updates to its trademark guidelines may affect the IAASB’s standards.

The updated IFRS Foundation guidelines require, amongst other things, that International Accounting Standards Board standards, including the International Accounting Standards (IASs) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), be referred to as “IFRS Accounting Standards”.

This guidance clarifies how auditors or practitioners should refer to the IFRS Accounting Standards in their reports. 

The alert also describes changes that the IAASB intends to make to future editions of the IAASB handbook to address existing references to the IASs and IFRSs.
