Ernst & Young Czech Republic - Issues & Perspectives - Ernst & Young - Czech Republic

The world of International Financial Reporting Standards (previously International Accounting Standards) is fundamentally changing. From 2005, all quoted companies in the European Union are required to prepare consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. The Czech Republic entered the EU, therefore this requirement has impact on all the Czech companies that are quoted or expect to be quoted as well as the subsidiaries of quoted European multinationals.
