Standard Guidance

Reach IFRS_CORE readiness without rebuilding your policy programme

International Financial Reporting Standards published by the IFRS Foundation + International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The global accounting framework adopted (or substantially converged) by 168+ jurisdictions including the EU, UK (FRS 101 incorporates), Canada, Australia, India + most other major economies (notable holdout: US). Key standards include IFRS 15 (Revenue), IFRS 16 (Leases), IFRS 17 (Insurance Contracts — see separate reference), IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments), IFRS 13 (Fair Value), IAS 12 (Income Taxes), IAS 21 (FX), IAS 36 (Impairment), IAS 38 (Intangibles). Quick Policy maps IFRS_CORE into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs — and keeps it current between audits.

Why IFRS_CORE matters for your operating model

IFRS_CORE doesn't just dictate document templates — it shapes which controls auditors test, what evidence they ask for, and which gaps surface first during diligence. Getting it wrong creates renewal slippage, audit findings, and stalled customer deals.

  • Issued by IFRS Foundation / IASB with global recognition.
  • Directly shapes policy families including Financial Reporting, Accounting Policy — these are the artefacts assessors open first.
  • Common artifacts include Policy.
  • Obligation model: Mandatory In Scope — meaning you need defensible reasoning for in-scope vs out-of-scope decisions, not just signed policies.

How Quick Policy helps you stand up IFRS_CORE

The platform turns IFRS_CORE from a PDF of requirements into a live operating model — policies, training, evidence, and audit-export packs that update in lock-step when the standard or your business changes.

  • Adopt IFRS_CORE once and Quick Policy seeds the right policy families (Financial Reporting, Accounting Policy) with applicability rationale your auditor can follow.
  • Common artifacts include Policy.
  • Review cadence is enforced at ~365 days so policies don't silently expire ahead of recertification.
  • Standard updates (IFRS_CORE revisions, errata, regulator guidance) trigger an applicability re-check across your active policies — not a full rewrite.
