Translations Database

Scope of Database

This database of translations of IFAC publications by third parties has been compiled based on information provided by such third parties. It includes the languages, publication titles, names of translating organizations and, where available, lists of translated key terms. IFAC has not reviewed the quality of the translated publications or key terms.

Purpose

To serve the public interest and promote adherence to high-quality professional standards, as well as to further the international convergence of such standards, IFAC is making this database of translations publicly available.

The official language of IFAC is English. However, IFAC recognizes that it is important that preparers and users of financial statements, auditors, regulators, lawyers, academia, students and other interested parties in non-English speaking countries have access to its publications in their native language.
