  • PwC Legal Vietnam
January 2021

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) represent the most significant shift in financial reporting and the biggest accounting change in a generation. IFRS has become the most common accounting language globally. A statistic by IFRS.org indicates that by April 2018, for 166 jurisdictions under the survey, 144 jurisdictions (87%) required the use of IFRS. The majority of the remaining 22 jurisdictions either permit the use or are in the process of adopting IFRS. Only seven jurisdictions including Vietnam are still using national standards.
