The analysis indicates that the converged IFRS standards have been implemented by China and India. Firms conducting business in BRICS nations need to disclose financial accounts in accordance with IFRS standards. However, some financial industry organizations, such as banks and financial institutions, are given special consideration while adopting IFRS standards.
