IFRS- International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) set down universal guidelines such

that financial statements across the world can be reliable, straightforward, and comparable.
IFRS is published by the International Committee on Accounting Standards (IASB). They
define how businesses will manage and disclose their accounts, identifying transaction
forms, and other financially affecting events. To provide a popular accounting language, IFRS
has been developed so that companies and their financial statements can be consistent and
accurate from company to company and country to country.

US GAAP- The Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) apply to a specific collection
of Accounting Principles, Standards, and Procedures provided by the FASB. Public companies
in the United States must follow GAAP when compiling their accounts. The GAAP is a
mixture of authoritative standards (set by government boards) and generally recognized
forms of documenting and reporting accounting data. The GAAP aims to improve the
transparency, accuracy, and comparability of financial information communications.
