Abstract :
The research paper at hand deals with the investigation of perceived levels of awareness
amongst students in the North Gujarat region of India specifically within the realm of
IFRS and its implications on professional, personal, socio-cultural and economic planes.
The study utilizes secondary research to lay a theoretical foundation for the historical,
cultural and economic context of IFRS in the modern world. The study also utilizes survey
questionnaires in order to gauge the degree of awareness amongst post-graduate
students in major universities across North Gujarat. The findings of the study reveal that
there is not enough educational preparation given to students pertaining to IFRS and its
role in the current economy. At the same time, the study also reveals that there is ample
cultural and personal employment oriented awareness and openness amongst students
with regards to the role of IFRS and its significance in an economic context.
