Key Accounting and Auditing guidance

As the convergence of accounting and auditing standards around the world continues, having access to key accounting and auditing guidance is critical for your business and for implementing your audit effectively and efficiently. Access to Ernst & Young Online provides you a rich library of accounting and auditing guidance providing valuable insights for audit committees, chief financial officers, controllers, financial reporting groups, and internal audit directors. Ernst & Young Online augments the in-person interactions of your Ernst & Young engagement team by sharing key knowledge and interpretive guidance produced by our firm's accounting policy professionals. 

In addition, IFRS centers of excellence called "IFRS desks" are established in each significant country and region, with a team in London coordinating all global IFRS work. We strive for consistent interpretation through constant communication and consultation between the various desks, our engagement teams and you.

To help you and your business steer a steadier course, our global network of professionals offers ways to think about risk, private equity and financial operations.
