The need for a set of qualified accounting standards has led to the development of international financial reporting standards. like many other countries globally, Iran has adopted these standards and required their application in a group of capital market companies. The main purpose of this study is to examine the challenges and benefits of implementing International Financial Reporting Standards from the perspective of the executives who are required to use the standards. The statistical population of this study, consisting of managers of banks, insurance companies and, stock exchange companies, are required to comply with IFRS according to the enactment of the Stock Exchange and Securities Organization, which includes a total of 77 companies. The collection tool of this research is a questionnaire that was distributed from September to October 2016. The answers to 59 questionnaires were received from 77 distributed questionnaires. For banks, the biggest challenge was the cost of training at the level of companies and users of financial information, for insurers it was the difference between tax laws and international financial reporting standards, and for other companies, the lack of accountants and auditors that have the technical skills of implementing international financial reporting standards.
