World Watch - Issue 1 2004

This edition of World Watch demonstrates that the arrival of 2004 is a key moment in corporate history. For the many listed companies that will adopt IFRS in
2005, for example, the new year heralds the starting point of the comparative period for their first full annual IFRS financial statements that they will present in early 2006.

See full Watch, particularly the comparative world table on page 9.
