At MBG, we support companies in insuring the financial statements are as per the financial reporting guidelines. These IFRS standards are issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to create a common accounting language that could be understood globally by investors, auditors, government regulators, and other interested stakeholders. These common rules and guidelines are applicable across the globe helping make financial statements consistent, credible and comparable.
