This research examines the IFRS  implementation in Indonesian Islamic accounting. It employs a literature review method to systematically explain the accounting theory, the Islamic Financial Accounting Standards, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).  This study concludes that there is a conflict between the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and some Islamic principles which has not been yet resolved. The Islamic accounting is also facing some complex issues related to the convergence of International Financial Reporting Standards in Indonesia due to incorrect implementation of IFRS in some countries related to the translation problems from English to local languages. The biggest problem in implementing IFRS convergence for business is dealing with the expenses spent for the development of knowledge, supports and trainings for consultants

This paper discusses empirical research examining the impact of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on cost of capital. Using a sample of 1.173 observations of publicly listed companies on the Indonesian Stock Exchange for the fiscal year that ends on December 31, 2006 through 2013, this research finds evidence of positive relationship between IFRS implementation and cost of capital. This means that in post adoption period, the cost of capital increase. This result is inconsistent with investor’s expectation, in which IFRS implementation will reduce information asymmetry which in turn decreases cost of capital. When analysis is decomposed into per sector’s analysis, the results are inconsistent. For some sectors, IFRS adoption does not have impact on the cost of capital, whereas for the others IFRS adoption positively affect the cost of capital. This study provides further evidence on the economic consequence of IFRS implementation on cost of capital using data from emerging market with low-level coercion which is Indonesian Capital Market.
