Let’s have a look at, from which field a person can go for IFRS:

The demand for IFRS is higher because there is a lesser number of IFRS professionals in India and moreover, experts can offer consultancy services to companies adopting IFRS standards. And most companies are in need of assistance with managing older accounts to newer accounting structures.

Experts with Commerce, CA, CPA and CFA capabilities can acquire an edge over others with IFRS certification. They can become at standard with account experts worldwide by acquiring IFRS certificates. Now it has become mandatory for people who are from Financial Controllers, Financial Analysts,, Accountants, Chief Financial Officers, Chief Accountants, Finance Managers, Bank Managers, Auditors, and Portfolio Managers to be IFRS proficient.

Corporate and publicly-traded companies engaged or interested to function on a worldwide scale through international stock trades, joint ventures, and different modes have to obligatorily follow IFRS principles.

IFRS certification is highly suggested for three significant reasons:

●        Rising demand for IFRS experts: The fact of the matter is that the interest for experts who are knowledgeable with regards to IFRS is high, and there are different high-profile companies to welcome candidates on board who have extensive knowledge when we talk about IFRS.

●        The number of IFRS experts is less: Another reason that has added to the extremely high demand for IFRS professionals comes from the fact that there are basically insufficient experts in the financial market who are well-versed in the various nuances of the IFRS. This practically ensures a bright career aspect for individuals who have certifications with IFRS.

●        Provides you with worldwide choices for your career: The global acknowledgment of the guidelines set in the IFRS is another major reason behind why you get IFRS certification. After all, there are many individuals who wish to carry out their trade outside their home country, and learning the ins-and-outs of the IFRS will certainly improve your chances of working abroad.

There is a huge scope for IFRS, particularly for those who are beginners in finance and those with mid-level or senior-level accounting experience.

1. High IFRS Reporting Professionals Demand

In the second and resulting phases of IFRS execution, mid-level and small-level companies will be roped in and all things considered, the need for IFRS professionals will rise steeply. 

2. International Skills
