Example Consolidated Financial Statements 2008
'Example Consolidated Financial Statements 2008' is a publication by the IFRS team at Grant Thornton International Ltd. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS is always challenging. Recently the challenges have increased further as a result of the publication by the IASB of several new Standards and Amendments that will have a significant impact both on the presentation of the primary statements and the accompanying disclosures.
 
'Example Consolidated Financial Statements 2008' illustrates the application of the presentation and disclosure requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) by an entity that is not a first-time adopter of IFRSs. The publication has been reviewed and updated to reflect changes in IFRSs that are effective for the year ending 31 December 2008.
