  • Abstract:
  • This research article explores the impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on accounting practices and financial reporting in India's corporate sector. The study examines the adaptability of Indian corporations to the transition to IFRS, evaluates the effects of transitioning from previous GAAP to IFRS on financial position and performance, and gauges the level of awareness and acceptance of IFRS within the Indian corporate sector. The research findings reveal positive perceptions and expectations among employees regarding IFRS adoption, with a strong emphasis on dimensions such as Certainties of Policies, Awareness, and Corporate Governance. However, certain limitations and challenges are identified, including complexity, fair value measurement issues, and transition challenges. Despite these limitations, the adoption of IFRS in India has provided numerous benefits, such as global standards recognition, reduced complexity, and improved risk management. Overall, this research contributes to the ongoing dialogue on the impact of IFRS on emerging economies and provides valuable insights for policymakers, standard-setters, auditors, and investors navigating the evolving landscape of accounting practices in India.
