After a decade of introduction of IFRS to the EU member states, the question remains, has it been beneficial to include the international financial reporting standards to more than 7000 listed companies. There may not be a yes or no answer to this question, but few lessons have been learned from the EU experience. The most significant and central message to all other countries who are already and are on the verge of adoption of IFRS is that, the benefits of IFRS implementation will continue to outweigh the costs involved in the full process. Even if the developing countries consider IFRS for their listed companies, it will make a huge difference in their reporting.
