Abstract: The European Union decided that International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) would be effective as of the beginning of 2005. Consequently, the IMF, the World Bank, IOSCO as well as other similar organizations have established policies to support the adoption of IFRS. Similarly, since January 1, 2005, banks and firms in Turkey registered on the Istanbul Stock Exchange have prepared their financial statements in accordance with principles set out in IFRS. Moreover, the Turkish Accounting Standards Board (TASB) that oversees Turkish Accounting Standards has accepted harmonization with the principles of IFRS in order to get international acceptance.
