State all assumptions and conclusions.

c) What standards will affect Trinity as a result of IFRS?
d) Discuss each infrastructure's role in supporting a compliance project like IFRS:
1. What constitutes Trinity's governance infrastructure?
2. What constitutes Trinity's IT infrastructure?
3. What constitutes Trinity's process infrastructure?
