International Accounting Standards Board

When the organisation responsible for developing the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) asked us to design their annual report, quick turnaround times and attention to detail were on the top of our agenda… Oh and tip-top creative, of course!

Challenge
It was imperative for the annual report to convey a global theme to reiterate that the organisation’s goal is to provide the world’s integrating capital markets with a common language for financial reporting. Since 2001, over 100 countries have required or permitted the use of IFRSs. The organisation is a truly unique international organisation making collaborative efforts with the worldwide standard-setting community.

Solution
The Trustees and staff of the IASC Foundation and the members of the IASB are drawn from over 30 countries across the world. This annual report uses postage stamps from each of these countries as a visual demonstration of the truly international nature of the IASC Foundation and the IASB’s work.

Result
The annual report presents the organisation and its activities of the previous financial year in a clear and concise manner to its external audiences. The extensive use of white space and limited colour palette gives the final publication a contemporary look and feel.
