Insights into IFRS: KPMG's Practical Guide to International Financial Reporting Standards 15th ed

Applying IFRS Standards to real transactions and arrangements can be a significant challenge. Insights into IFRS is based on KPMG member firms’ experience of applying IFRS Standards around the world and explains our views on many interpretative issues. We’ve taken the questions that we’ve received and turned them into practical guidance to help you apply IFRS Standards to your situation.

The publication is organised by topic and extensively cross-referenced to the standards that are in issue at 1 August 2018 and that apply to an annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2018.

To help you plan ahead, we discuss standards that have been issued but are not yet effective and we highlight areas under discussion for potential change.
