Abstract

In the frame of the deep change of paradigms that the countable profession took forward from middle of last century, (from the paradigm “patrimonialist” towards the paradigm of the “usefulness” (utility)), the Argentine profession initiated in the year 1998 the process of adjustment (first) and finally adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards, which made concrete in the year 2010 with the sanction of the Technical Resolution N ° 26. During these years, there happened different stages that marked a deep change in the way of “thinking” and of “doing” accounting. The result: new challenges for the professionals and the need to develop the CPA as a professional of world class. Departing from these changes, it is analyzed each of the phases that removed forward to conclude in the obligatory nature to use IFRS in the preparation of financial information for certain type of entities in Argentina.
