the stakeholders of accounting and financial reporting. Since June 2008, the reporting framework as well as IFRSs (International Financial
Reporting Standards) issued by the IASB are mandatory for a listed company in Bangladesh, the CF has also significant compliance
implications. This paper has provided a comparative analysis of the new CF (2010) and the preceding Framework (1989) of the IASB to

direction of financial reporting.
