Our Journey to Digital
Modernizing the way you interact with international accounting standards
At IFAC, we made it our mission to make international standards for the accountancy profession more accessible and easily digestible. Now, we’ve reached a new peak on our journey to digital.
Taking steps toward digital transformation
As digitization evolves across the accountancy profession, we’ve worked with professional accounting organizations (PAOs) to offer relevant resources and expertise to make the most out of technology.
Surveyed key industry stakeholders for input on how to evolve in the digital landscape
Collaborated with the IESBA to launch the eCode platform as an early digital standards solution
Published ongoing resources to help member organizations and stakeholders upgrade to digital
Launched a digital readiness assessment tool for PAOs
Curated future-focused resources on IFAC’s Knowledge Gateway
Today, our journey to digital continues with a major step forward.
Introducing eIS (e-international standards), the new online platform giving you electronic access to the standards you depend on.
Now, accounting professionals can use one intuitive platform to access the internationally accepted standards from:
International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board
International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants
International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board
Building a better standards solution
We worked together with the standard-setting boards to develop a better way to access the standards—with features you’ll love to use (and never want to be without).
