Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Accounting and Taxes, grade: A, University of Westminster, course: BSc Accounting and Business Management, language: English, abstract: On an international scale, harmonisation aims to update, align or even replace domestic standards with a high quality set of international accounting standards issued by the IASB.

However there are numerous obstacles discussed which can hinder the speed and completion of harmonisation.
