The IFRS can be applied in the multi national company (MNC) and listing firms across the country but it does not mean it can replace the national accounting standards that have been owned by respective countries. The accounting standardization is not an easy job because each country has different political, social, and economic background. This study is to reveal the reason and who is behind IFRS adoption in Indonesia. This qualitative research is a case study based on cases representing institutions in Indonesia: DSAK, DPN IAI, BAPEPAM-LK, the finance ministry and the ministry of state own enterprises (BUMN). Data were collected by interviews and using readily available documents and processed with thematic analysis. The result shows the adoption of IFRS decisions is driven by international interests. Indonesia's membership in several international organizations, such as IFAC (International Federation on Accountant), IOSCO, and the G-20, has resulted in the approval of global accounting standards in Indonesia. Each organization has done a variety ways to ensure that its members adopt IFRS. IFRS should be based more on Indonesia accounting needs and should not be only based on a desire particularly coercion from others. In-depth analysis based on the reality of each particular business should be conducted before a decision to adopt IFRS is taken.

Abstract
These remarks deal with financialisation of accounting. Financialisation is a process by which windfall capital market gains are crystallised from future earnings over and above those available from current earnings and profit. Accounting numbers reported by business firms are increasingly including the product of windfall gains from capital markets into those accounting numbers. Thus a significant disturbance in market valuations embedded in firm's assets and earnings could have a significant and material impact upon firm-level financial stability.

The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has become a global financial standards in the accounting sector and industry of developed and developing countries. The spread of IFRS has seen its adoption by developed and developing countries (like Nigeria). This paper takes a critical look at the whole concept of IFRS, its benefits and the challenges associated with its adoption in Nigeria. It highlighted some of the challenges of adopting IFRS in Nigeria to include resistance and problem of acceptance, cost of conversion in terms of material and financial resources; leadership challenges, frequent regime changes, etc. Based on this, the paper recommends the need for government to support the conversion process by creating the necessary structures and making financial provision for its implementation. The paper also recommends the sensitization of the public of the benefits associated with IFRS.
