| Although the IPSAS are based on the IAS standards for private companies, they were adapted to the requirements of the public sector. The IPSAS are laid down by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), a private federation. They therefore have no legally binding force. The elaboration of the standards was, however, promoted and financed in the majority by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, of which Switzerland is a member. |
