The IFRS Foundation, established in 2001, develops globally adopted standards for financial reporting to improve communication between companies and investors. It operates as a not-for-profit entity aimed at enhancing transparency, comparability, and trust in financial statements. IFRS Accounting Standards are required in more than 140 jurisdictions, and around 40 jurisdictions are beginning to adopt IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards issued in 2023, with both sets developed by the IASB and ISSB through a rigorous process. It maintains a global footprint with offices in London, Beijing, Frankfurt, Montreal, San Francisco, and Tokyo. In June 2026, the IFRS Taxonomy Consultative Group announced the creation of a global partner network to provide official ISSB training, expanding its training ecosystem.
