The 2021 edition of International GAAP has been fully revised and updated in order to:

• Provide expanded discussion and practical illustrations on the many implementation issues arising as entities continue to apply IFRS 16 Leases, including those related to recent rent concessions and the associated narrow scope amendment issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
• Include an updated chapter on the new insurance contracts standard IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts, which reflects the IASB's recently issued Amendments to IFRS 17, resulting in a number of significant changes as well as many other editorial alterations. The chapter also discusses implementation issues and explores other matters arising as insurers prepare for the adoption of the standard.
• Continue to investigate the many application issues arising as entities apply IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
• Discuss the IASB's amendments to IFRS 9 and related standards to address the effects of the Interbank Offered Rates (IBOR) reform on financial reporting.
• Illustrate the application of IFRS to the accounting for natural disasters highlighted by the accounting issues related to the recent coronavirus pandemic.
• Discuss the new agenda decisions issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee since the preparation of the 2020 edition.
• Address the amendments to standards and the many other initiatives that are currently being discussed by the IASB and the potential consequential changes to accounting requirements.
• Provide further insight on the many issues relating to the practical application of IFRS, based on the extensive experience of the book's authors in dealing with current issues.

The book is published in three volumes. The 56 chapters listed on pages xi to xiii are split between the three volumes as follows:

• Volume 1 - ,
• Volume 2 - ,
• Volume 3 - .

Each chapter includes a detailed list of contents and list of illustrative examples.

Each of the three volumes contains the following indexes covering all three volumes:

• an index of extracts from financial statements,
• an index of references to standards and interpretations,
• a general index.

The IASB noted in its 2018 analysis of the use of IFRS around the world that, other than China, India, Japan and the United States, the vast majority of the 166 jurisdictions they have researched require the use of IFRS for all or most domestic publicly accountable entities (listed companies and financial institutions) in their capital markets. Maintaining the current international alignment of accounting standards requires an ongoing commitment on the part of all jurisdictions involved, but the benefits of IFRS are clear when looking at the way in which the IASB was able to consider the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on financial reporting.
