New name and web address for the IASC Foundation
01 Jul 2010
The IASC Foundation has formally changed its name to the IFRS Foundation with effect from 1 July 2010. The change represents the next step in a process to simplify the names in use across the organisation announced following the conclusion of the Constitutional Review in 2010.
The International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and the Standards Advisory Council (SAC) have already been renamed as the IFRS Interpretations Committee and the IFRS Advisory Council, respectively. The name of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) will remain unchanged. The IASB's website has been changed to coincide with the name change and is now www.ifrs.org. In addition, IFRS Foundation and IASB email addresses will end in '@ifrs.org'. We have updated the links on our pages to reflect the new addresses. (The old iasb.org webpages and email addresses will be rerouted to ifrs.org from 1 July 2010 and so will continue to work.) Click for IASC announcement. See also our IFRS Foundation page.
