NEW DELHI: India will adopt the globally accepted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) by 2011, a move that will integrate the accounting system with the rest of the world.

The issue of adoption of IFRS by Indian companies was discussed at a meeting between the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) Chairman David Tweedie and officials of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
