    It’s ok to abbreviate – so long as the client is likely to understand. So, read the question and see who you are writing to. Additionally, if you are going to abbreviate, it’s probably best to say, for example, “The International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) state that ……” and from then on, you can refer to them as IFRS

    Hi all,
    agreed w/t werty. That is the best way to deal w/t abbreviate because we are studying at professional level.
