It contains the complete and up-to-date consolidated text of all current IFRSs as approved for issue by the IASB at 1 July 2008, extensively annotated with thousands of cross-references to guide readers through the text of each IFRS and all the other IASB material that accompanies but does not form part of the IFRSs. Other annotations include the text of relevant IFRIC agenda decisions.
