Type de matériel :

This paper replies to Burlaud and Colasse (2010) who suggest that the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) lacks legitimacy and that this has led to a return of politics to standardization. We show that the IASB is supported by the leaders of the world-s major economies (G20), and by the European Commission and European Parliament. The European Commission-s policy is to pursue wider adoption of the IASB-s standards. We go on to suggest that politics has never been absent from standardization and note that a number of the positions taken by Burlaud and Colasse are not supported by mainstream literature.
