Commission adopts Regulation endorsing International Accounting Standards

29 September 2003

The European Commission adopted a Regulation endorsing International Accounting Standards (IASs), including related interpretations (SICs), and therefore confirming the requirement for their compulsory use from 2005 under the terms of the general IAS Regulation.

It includes all existing IASs and SICs, except for IASs 32 and 39 and related SICs 5, 16 and 17, which are not included because they are currently being revised by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
