The new online service has been developed from the ground up to provide IFRS) reporters with web access to authoritative, annotated versions of IFRS and supporting materials. 

The eIFRS Professional service will feature:

• A new standards comparison tool that allows users to view changes to a standard between current, prior and subsequent years;
• An entirely new user interface, with access to all IFRS content in less than three clicks;
• A powerful new search facility with sophisticated filtering options;
• Access to the IFRS Foundation’s education resources, including annotated notes to the standards, executive briefing materials and the IFRS pocket guide; and
• Full access to the IFRS Foundation’s archive of IFRS content, available in multiple languages.

In addition to the launch of eIFRS Professional, there are also new versions of the other components of its eIFRS suite of online resources.  eIFRS Basic provides users with limited access to the basic IFRS standards, while eIFRS Comprehensive includes a subscription to eIFRS Professional as well as offline, print editions of the standards and other materials. Existing subscribers will automatically be upgraded to eIFRS Professional.

Yael Almog, executive director of the IFRS Foundation said:  ‘eIFRS Professional represents a step change in the online resources available to accounting professionals, whether they are preparers, auditors, academics, students or others. eIFRS is today the authoritative IFRS online product on the market, raising the bar for ease of use when accessing online IFRS content.’

The new service has been developed after extensive customer feedback.
