In 2001, it changed its name to International Accounting Standards Board (LASB), responsible for issuing new International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), who forms part of LASB, is responsible for interpreting of the application of LASs and IFRSs if difficulties arise, and issues rapid guidance where there are different interpretations of LASs or IFRSs. Standards Advisory Council (SAC), who is also part of LASB, advises the LASB in developing new accounting standards. In China, the accounting regulatory system is constituted by the Accounting Law, the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises and the Accounting System for Business Enterprises.
