Taiwan GAAP
Taiwan’s accounting standards, often referred to as Taiwan Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) have undergone a significant evolution towards convergence with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). While a local set of standards, the Enterprise Accounting Standards (EAS), exists for non-public companies, public and listed companies in Taiwan are generally required to prepare their financial statements in accordance with Taiwan-IFRS (T-IFRS).
This represents a modified version of IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), with some minor local adaptations, such as the elimination of certain options and differences in effective dates for specific standards. The Accounting Research and Development Foundation (ARDF) plays a crucial role in translating and reviewing IFRS for endorsement by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC), ensuring that Taiwan’s reporting framework aligns closely with global practices to enhance transparency and comparability in the capital market
