AB  - This chapter presents an overview, on a twofold perspective, of the role of Latin American (LATAM) countries in the process of setting international standards. Firstly, at the international level, it checks
who are the LATAM bodies and persons who have a seat in the structure of IFRS Foundation and the
IASB’s advisory bodies, highlighting their role and the required individual skills. Secondly, at the regional
and local levels, it looks at the accountancy bodies in each LATAM country, to identify what they
are doing regarding the process of convergence and adoption of international accounting standards.
The topics discussed conclude that (1) overall Brazil seems to assume the leading position and the most
prominent role, (2) Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and Venezuela are the most engaged with IASB’s work,
and (3) Brazil and Mexico have the most diverse and available information on the activities developed
by local accountancy’s bodies and respective consequences for financial reporting.
