20 July 2025 If you're planning to work in the U.A.E. and are targeting Big 4 or top-tier firms, having a strong grasp of IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) is absolutely essential—especially since most countries in the Middle East fully adopt IFRS.

Here’s a list of highly recommended IFRS books and resources suitable for CA Final students and aspiring professionals:

📚 Top Reference Books for IFRS (Practical + Exam-Ready)
1. ✅ D.S. Rawat – “Students’ Guide to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)”

Best for Indian students.
Covers IFRS mapped with Ind AS.
Conceptual clarity + practical examples.
Frequently recommended for CA/ACCA aspirants.
2. ✅ Deloitte’s IFRS e-Learning Modules (Free)

Hosted on IASPlus
Ideal for self-paced learning with practical application focus.
Used internally by many CA firms for training.
3. ✅ Wiley IFRS – Interpretation and Application (Latest Edition)

Internationally recognized.
Detailed explanation of each IFRS standard with real-world examples.
Preferred if you're planning to pursue DipIFR (ACCA) or work abroad.
4. ✅ BPP Learning Media – IFRS (ACCA DipIFR Study Text)

Specifically for students aiming at ACCA DipIFR (Diploma in IFRS).
Comprehensive and exam-focused.
Good for practical application and case-based understanding.
🏁 Suggested Learning Plan (for UAE job interviews):
Start with D.S. Rawat – grasp all key standards.
