This is because having consistent accounting standards allows investors and businesses to easily compare financial information across different countries, making it easier to make informed investment decisions. It also improves market efficiency by promoting transparency and reducing information asymmetry. Additionally, having a single set of standards reduces the cost of raising capital as companies can access a larger pool of investors and lenders.
