What International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation does
Mission
The ifrs foundation's mission is to develop ifrs standards that bring transparency, accountability and efficiency to capital markets around the world. Our work serves the public interest by fostering trust, growth and long-term financial stability in the global economy. Key accomplishments in 2024 - advanced financial reporting by issuing two new ifrs accounting standards - ifrs 18 and ifrs 19 - which will improve the information investors receive about financial performance and reduce the disclosure requirements for subsidiary companies. - verified that two major standards work as intended by carrying out post-implementation reviews of the requirements in ifrs 15 and the impairment requirements in ifrs 9. - clarified requirements by issuing amendments to ifrs accounting standards to explain how companies should measure financial instruments and how they can better report the financial effects of nature-dependent electricity contracts in their financial statements. Ifrs sustainability - supported jurisdictions' adoption or other use of ifrs sustainability disclosure standards through various initiatives, including the publication of a dedicated guide. - supported companies in…

Programs
The ifrs foundation has a three-tier governance structure, based on two independent standard-setting boards of experts (international standards foundation 13-4164140 international financial reporting accounting standards board iasb, and international sustainability standards board - issb), governed and overseen by trustees from around the world (ifrs foundation trustees), who in turn are accountable to a monitoring board of public authorities (ifrs foundation monitoring board). The iasb is an independent accounting standard-setting body of the ifrs foundation. Its 12 members are appointed from various countries and professional backgrounds, including academia, accountancy, investment, reporting companies, regulation and standard-setting. The iasb issues ifrs accounting standards, the ifrs for smes accounting standard and the ifrs accounting taxonomy, which enables digital reporting. The issb is an independent sustainability disclosure standard-setting body of the ifrs foundation. Its 12 members are appointed from various countries and professional backgrounds, including academia, accountancy, investment, sustainability, market or financial regulation and reporting companies.

Some major activities are as follows: - creation and management of content-related policies: a key challenge for the earned revenue team is to balance the commercial needs and the public interest mission of the ifrs foundation. The team contributes to the mission and financing of the organisation through the provision of publication services. - adoption support: the foundation supports and advises national authorities on the adoption or other use of the standards, while maintaining consistency with the international policies. - directing ifrs translation activities: ifrs standards are translated into more than 40 languages worldwide. Any translation of the standards must be consistent and preserve the integrity of the original meaning in a non-english language; the foundation facilitates this by providing advice to translating jurisdictions and by monitoring the various review committees. - sales and licensing of foundation material: the foundation's web shop is the main sales tool for books, subscriptions and other…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $68M to $84M (+23%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 23% · 2018 24% · 2019 24% · 2020 25% · 2021 22% · 2022 18% · 2023 8% · 2024 14%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
59% of INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (60% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
2 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 38% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 62% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
38% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS FOUNDATION.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS FOUNDATION's grant income comes from California funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.4M arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
