Tlhe IFRS (International Financial Accounting Standards) is a set of accounting standards that were developed by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board). The purpose was to create a set of high quality, globally accepted accounting standards. It was thought that having one set of international standards would create investor confidence and bring about greater transparency, credibility, and comparability of companies.
In 2002 FASB and IASB signed an agreement to work toward making their existing financial reporting standards compatible and to co-ordinate their futrure programs to achieve this compatibility. In 2006 both boards produced a memorandum in which they agreed that convergence of accounting standards would be accomplish through the development of quality standards over time. Both sides agreed to seek convergence by replacing standards in need of improvement with new standards that they developed jointly. In 2008 FASB and IASB met again and committed themselves to developing common, high quality standards.
Although IASB and FASB are in the process of working toward eliminating differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP, there are still significant differences. The SEC has published several roadmaps of steps that had to be met before IFRS would be accepted by the SEC for foreign private issuers. More.

",,,discusses revenue recognition principles under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The IFRS rules regarding revenue recognition are similar in principle to the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) rules on the subject; however, the two sets of rules may produce very different results under any given set of facts. Moreover, IFRS does not possess the detailed guidance that U.S. GAAP possesses. To wit, U.S. GAAP contains more than 140 authoritative pronouncements on revenue recognition, while IFRS contains fewer than 10 such pronouncements. "
