Abstract
Adoption of IFRS means the use of the International Financial Reporting Standards as the primary GAAP by the domestic
listed and unlisted companies in their consolidated Financial Statements for the external Financial Reporting. This means that the basis of the
presentation note and auditor’s report indicate that the Financial Statements are prepared on the basis of IFRSs. In this context, it becomes
necessary to make an analysis of the adoption of IFRS in India. The Study is based on secondary data which include journals, websites, books
and periodicals. The scope of the study includes phase-wise and sector-wise implementation of IFRS in India. For sector-wise analysis, BSE
& NSE companies are taken. IFRS will provide a chance to India to integrate with the common Accounting International Standards which will
save the cost which has to be incurred by MNC’s and internationally listed corporate for maintaining dual accounting and reporting system.
