International GAAP 2024 by E&Y

This book, written by the team of IFRS experts in Ernst&Young, is the ultimate IFRS guide you need. Well, it has more than 5 800 pages, so the level of detail is great.

However, this book is not really suitable for beginners or slightly advanced professionals, because the language used is not the easiest one. But, once you learn and get orientation, this book is a treasure. I used to buy the new version every year, but now – it is completely free in the electronic version.

We have no financial reward from recommending this book. We simply love it.
