Solution

The correct answer is d. Accountants and auditors would have more defence in case of litigation.

This is not an advantage of adopting International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The IFRS is a set of accounting standards developed by an independent, not-for-profit organization called the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The goal of IFRS is to provide a global framework for how public companies prepare and disclose their financial statements.

Adopting IFRS can indeed make it easier for multinational companies to transfer accounting staff across borders, facilitate cross-border listing, and make it easier for investors to compare financial statements of companies with those of foreign competitors.

However, the adoption of IFRS does not necessarily provide more defense for accountants and auditors in case of litigation. The defense in litigation cases would depend more on the specific circumstances of the case, the laws of the country where the litigation is taking place, and the professional conduct of the accountants and auditors involved.
