The expert work group IFRS of the International Association of Controllers was established in August 2004 and addresses the practical challenges, opportunities and difficulties arising for controllersfrom international accounting.
These include such questions as:
- Creation of a uniform data base as the prerequisite for the desired harmonization of external and internal accounting
- Transition from total cost to cost of sales
- Differentiation between real values and forecast values already in the primary bookings
- Creation of an adequate account frame
- Alignment of structures of responsibilities, reporting and booking
- Involvement of the margin contribution calculation in the IFRS reporting structures
- Change of interplay between controlling and accounting
- Avoidance of already known fat naps in the preparation for the introduction of the IFRS
