Coming soon:

Site search: appears in the top right-hand corner of every page and enables you to search for any item located on the AASB website

When searching the website please ensure you only use alphabetical characters (a-z), numbers, spaces, asterisks, single and double quotation marks.

Using an asterisk allows you to search for any words that follow the asterisk. For example, searching for account* will return search results containing accounts, accounting, accountant, accountants etc.

Using double quotation marks allows you to search for specific phrases. For example, searching for "AAS 27” will ensure only items containing the exact phrase will appear in the search results.

Please note that single quotation marks will be included as part of the full material. For example, searching for 'AAS 27' will return items containing the exact text 'AAS 27' (including quotation marks).
