About the changes in Australian Account Standards
Australian Accounting Standards are a set of guidelines and rules, issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), that ensure consistency, transparency, and reliability in financial reporting across Australia. They guide how financial transactions and events are recorded and reported in financial statements.
