This is the official page for the IFRS Foundation. We will provide updates on IFRS Foundation issues including governance, due process, jurisdiction profiles and organisational bodies as well as major IFRS Standard announcements. The IFRS Foundation is an independent, public interest organisation responsible for the governance and oversight of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). In turn, the IASB and the ISSB are independent standard-setters responsible for the development and promulgation of IFRS Standards. These Standards result in corporate information that informs investment decisions and contributes towards efficient and resilient capital markets.
