IFAC Emphasises Importance of Multilingual Materials

The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) plays a vital role in driving the development, adoption, and implementation of transparent and high-quality international standards, used by professional accountants.

The World Bank recently extended significant financial support to expanding the accessibility of certain materials into Spanish and French. This support broadens the availability of these publications to IFAC’s global audience and their stakeholders, and helps to promote greater economic growth, development, and accountability.

One of the primary obstacles to successful adoption and implementation of international standards is the lack of access to translations in local languages. IFAC takes proactive steps to tackle this challenge by providing translation support and engaging with donors to facilitate the translation process.
