1.1 INTRODUCTION
An acceptable global high international quality financial reporting standard (IFRS) was initiated in 1973 when the international accounting standard committee (IASC) was formed by the professional bodies from different countries (such as United States of America, United Kingdom, Mexico, Australia, Germany. France, Canada, Japan and Netherlands) all over the world (Garuba and Donwa, 2011). This body was properly recognised in 2001 by the international accounting standards board (IASB), and as well developed accounting standards and related interpretations jointly referred to as the international financial reporting standards (IFRS).
The supremacy of IFRS further improved in September 2002, when the United States financial accounting standard board (FASB) and IASC under took to work closely based on their agreement to develop high quality compatible accounting standards that could be adopted for both domestic and cross border financial reporting. These bodies so far achieved their objectives and are far advanced in the IFRS - Us Generally Accepted Accounting principles (GAAP), Convergence Although, many developing counting who do not want to be left behind took a cue from the world major economics to either adapt, adopt or converge the IFRS Different countries on the other hand use different approaches in adopting IFRS based on their need and ability to adopt.
