Globalization's Affect on Accounting Standards: GAAP vs. IFRS Over the years, globalization has had an impact on many aspects of business; from the outsourcing of labor to the trade relations, the effects of globalization are a frequent factor in business operations.

It is markedly distinct from the traditional accent of the adjacent Black Country, although modern-day population mobility has tended to blur the distinction.
