-The purpose of these standards is to ensure that the financial centers of the world, which have become more interconnected than ever, can use a global financial reporting [[framework]] that ensures effective regulation of financial markets. The growing volume of cross-border [[capital]] flows makes having international standards, that are high in [[quality]] and testable across the board, a priority. By having these standards in place, capital markets that are located in different jurisdictions can create the most efficient capital flows that are beneficial to regulators, organizations, and the [[market]] as a whole.
+The concept of converging accounting standards started in the 1950s with post-World War II economic integration and related increases in cross-border capital flows. Initial attempts to converge focused on harmonization, or reducing differences among the accounting principles used in major capital markets throughout the world. By the 1990s, harmonization was replaced with convergence — the development of a unified set of high-quality, international accounting standards used in all major capital markets and elsewhere. The International Accounting Standards Committee, formed in 1973, was the original organization setting international standards. The body was reorganized in 2001 and became an independent international standard setter called the International Accounting Standards Board. As of 2013, the European Union and over 100 other countries require or permit the use of international financial reporting standards (IFRS) that the IASB issues or a local variant of them.<ref>[https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/ias.asp Breaking down 'International Accounting Standards - IAS']</ref>

The Green Book, which is the latest version to be printed, consolidates all of the current standards. It is important to also have current interpretations of these standards.
