Abstract

The study examined the impact of the implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in credit unions (COAC) in Cuenca, Ecuador. A non-experimental methodological approach was used, combining qualitative and quantitative methods, with the application of surveys to 31 accountants from COACs in the region. Through this technique, it was found that most of them are familiar with IFRS and that the implementation has been in the majority for more than three years. Although challenges in staff training and interpretation of the standards were identified, the results highlighted a positive impact on the valuation of financial assets and risk management. In conclusion, the adoption of IFRS has improved the transparency and reliability of financial reporting in ACOAs, but further attention to proper training and understanding is required to maximize the benefits.
