UK accounting body selects Australian software platform
The Institute of Chartered Accountants for England and Wales (ICAEW) has accredited the IFRS SYSTEM automated financial reporting and accounts software production from privately-owned Australian company, Sydney-based IFRS Systems Pty Limited.
The IFRS SYSTEM, a software as a service (SaaS) application used by professional services firms, is the flagship product of the company, which has been developing and producing software for more than 10 years.
Managing directors of IFRS, Michael Berrington, said that his company was proud to have been selected by ICAEW.
"After thorough examination and intense scrutiny IFRS SYSTEM has been judged worthy of ICAEW accreditation," he said.
"It wasn't that many years ago that we were being told that statutory reporting and accounts production was too complex or too difficult to automate. Here we are today with an application that not only automates the process but has won innovation... and has earned ICAEW accreditation."
The accreditation is the first step in IFRS' plans for international expansion which includes Hong Kong, Singapore and the UK.
