International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are principles-based standards, interpretations and the framework (1989)[1] adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Many of the standards forming part of IFRS are known by the older name of International Accounting Standards (IAS). IAS were issued between 1973 and 2001 by the Board of the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC). On April 1, 2001, the new IASB took over from the IASC the responsibility for setting International Accounting Standards. During its

Page 2: International Financial Reporting Standards

first meeting the new Board adopted existing IAS and Standing Interpretations Committee standards (SICs). The IASB has continued to develop standards calling the new standards IFRS.

[edit] Structure of IFRS

Page 3: International Financial Reporting Standards

IFRS are considered a "principles based" set of standards in that they establish broad rules as well as dictating specific treatments.

International Financial Reporting Standards comprise:

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)—standards issued after 2001 International Accounting Standards (IAS)—standards issued before 2001

Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC)—issued before 2001 Conceptual Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements

(2010)

IAS 8 Par. 11additional paragraph has to add

"In making the judgement described in paragraph 10, management shall refer to, and consider the applicability of, the following sources in descending order:

(a) the requirements and guidance in Standards and Interpretations dealing with similar and related issues; and

(b) the definitions, recognition criteria and measurement concepts for assets, liabilities, income and expenses in the Framework."

[edit] Framework

The Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements states basic principles for IFRS.

The IASB and FASB Frameworks are in the process of being updated and converged. The Joint Conceptual Framework project aims to update and refine the existing concepts to reflect the changes in markets, business practices and the economic environment that have occurred in the two or more decades since the concepts were first developed.

[edit] Role of framework

Deloitte states:

In the absence of a Standard or an Interpretation that specifically applies to a transaction, management must use its judgement in developing and applying an accounting policy that results in information that is relevant and reliable. In making that judgement, IAS 8.11 requires management to consider the definitions, recognition criteria, and measurement concepts for assets, liabilities, income, and expenses in the Framework. This elevation of the importance of the Framework was added in the 2003 revisions to IAS 8.[2]

[edit] Objective of financial statements

Page 4: International Financial Reporting Standards

A financial statement should reflect true and fair view of the business affairs of the organization. As these statements are used by various constituents of the society / regulators, they need to reflect true view of the financial position of the organization. and it is very helpful to check the financial position of the business for a specific period.

[edit] Underlying assumptions

IFRS authorize two basic accounting models:

I. Financial capital maintenance in nominal monetary units, i.e., Historical cost accounting during low inflation and deflation (see the Framework, Par 104 (a)).

II. Financial capital maintenance in units of constant purchasing power, i.e., Constant Item Purchasing Power Accounting – CIPPA – during low inflation and deflation (see the Framework, Par 104 (a)) and Constant Purchasing Power Accounting (see IAS 29) – CPPA – during hyperinflation. Financial capital maintenance in units of constant purchasing power is not authorized under US GAAP.

The following are the four underlying assumptions in IFRS:

1. Accrual basis: the effect of transactions and other events are recognized when they occur, not as cash is gained or paid.

2. Going concern: an entity will continue for the foreseeable future. 3. Stable measuring unit assumption: financial capital maintenance in nominal

monetary units or traditional Historical cost accounting; i.e., accountants consider changes in the purchasing power of the functional currency up to but excluding 26% per annum for three years in a row (which would be 100% cumulative inflation over three years or hyperinflation as defined in IFRS) as immaterial or not sufficiently important for them to choose financial capital maintenance in units of constant purchasing power during low inflation and deflation as authorized in IFRS in the Framework, Par 104 (a).

Accountants implementing the stable measuring unit assumption (traditional Historical Cost Accounting) during annual inflation of 25% for 3 years in a row would destroy 100% of the real value of all constant real value non-monetary items not maintained under the Historical Cost paradigm.

4. Units of constant purchasing power: financial capital maintenance in units of constant purchasing power during low inflation and deflation; i.e. the rejection of the stable measuring unit assumption. See The Framework (1989), Paragraph 104 (a). Measurement in units of constant purchasing power (inflation-adjustment) under Constant Item Purchasing Power Accounting of only constant real value non-monetary items (not variable items) remedies the destruction caused by Historical Cost Accounting of the real values of constant real value non-monetary items never maintained constant as a result of the implementation of the stable measuring unit assumption during low inflation. It is not inflation doing the destroying. It is the implementation of the stable measuring unit assumption, i.e., HCA. Only constant real value non-monetary items are

Page 5: International Financial Reporting Standards

inflation-adjusted during low inflation and deflation. All non-monetary items (both variable real value non-monetary items and constant real value non-monetary items) are inflation-adjusted during hyperinflation as required in IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies, i.e. under Constant Purchasing Power Accounting.

[edit] Qualitative characteristics of financial statements

Qualitative characteristics of financial statements include:

Understandability Reliability Relevance Comparability

[edit] Elements of financial statements (IAS 1 article 10)

The financial position of an enterprise is primarily provided in the Statement of Financial Position. The elements include:

- Asset: An asset is a resource controlled by the enterprise as a result of past events from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the enterprise.- Liability: A liability is a present obligation of the enterprise arising from the past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the enterprise' resources, i.e., assets.- Equity: Equity is the residual interest in the assets of the enterprise after deducting all the liabilities under the Historical Cost Accounting model. Equity is also known as owner's equity. Under the units of constant purchasing power model equity is the constant real value of shareholders´ equity.

The financial performance of an enterprise is primarily provided in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (income statement or profit and loss account). The elements of an income statement or the elements that measure the financial performance are as follows:

- Revenues: increases in economic benefit during an accounting period in the form of inflows or enhancements of assets, or decrease of liabilities that result in increases in equity. However, it does not include the contributions made by the equity participants, i.e., proprietor, partners and shareholders.- Expenses: decreases in economic benefits during an accounting period in the form of outflows, or depletions of assets or incurrences of liabilities that result in decreases in equity.Revenues and expenses are measured in nominal monetary units under the Historical Cost Accounting model and in units of constant purchasing power (inflation-adjusted) under the Units of Constant Purchasing Power model.

Statement of Changes in Equity

Statement of Cash Flows Notes to the Financial Statements

[edit] Recognition of elements of financial statements

An item is recognized in the financial statements when:

it is probable future economic benefit will flow to or from an entity. the resource can be reliably measured – otherwise the stable measuring unit assumption is

applied under the Historical Cost Accounting model: i.e. it is assumed that the monetary unit of account (the functional currency) is perfectly stable (zero inflation or deflation); it is simply assumed that there is no inflation or deflation ever, and items are stated at their original nominal Historical Cost from any prior date: 1 month, 1 year, 10 or 100 or 200 or more years before; i.e. the stable measuring unit assumption is applied to items such as issued share capital, retained earnings, capital reserves, all other items in shareholders´ equity, all items in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (except salaries, wages, rentals, etc., which are inflation-adjusted annually), etc.

Under the Units of Constant Purchasing Power model, all constant real value non-monetary items are inflation-adjusted during low inflation and deflation; i.e. all items in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, all items in shareholders´ equity, Accounts Receivables, Accounts Payables, all non-monetary payables, all non-monetary receivables, provisions, etc.

[edit] Measurement of the elements of financial statements

Par. 99. Measurement is the process of determining the monetary amounts at which the elements of the financial statements are to be recognized and carried in the balance sheet and income statement. This involves the selection of the particular basis of measurement.

Par. 100. A number of different measurement bases are employed to different degrees and in varying combinations in financial statements. They include the following:

(a) Historical cost. Assets are recorded at the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the consideration given to acquire them at the time of their acquisition. Liabilities are recorded at the amount of proceeds received in exchange for the obligation, or in some circumstances (for example, income taxes), at the amounts of cash or cash equivalents expected to be paid to satisfy the liability in the normal course of business.

(b) Current cost. Assets are carried at the amount of cash or cash equivalents that would have to be paid if the same or an equivalent asset was acquired currently. Liabilities are carried at the undiscounted amount of cash or cash equivalents that would be required to settle the obligation currently.

(c) Realisable (settlement) value. Assets are carried at the amount of cash or cash equivalents that could currently be obtained by selling the asset in an orderly disposal. Assets are carried at the present discounted value of the future net cash inflows that the item is expected to generate in

Page 7: International Financial Reporting Standards

the normal course of business. Liabilities are carried at the present discounted value of the future net cash outflows that are expected to be required to settle the liabilities in the normal course of business.

Par. 101. The measurement basis most commonly adopted by entities in preparing their financial statements is historical cost. This is usually combined with other measurement bases. For example, inventories are usually carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value, marketable securities may be carried at market value and pension liabilities are carried at their present value. Furthermore, some entities use the current cost basis as a response to the inability of the historical cost accounting model to deal with the effects of changing prices of non-monetary assets.

[edit] Concepts of capital and capital maintenance

A major difference between US GAAP and IFRS is the fact that three fundamentally different concepts of capital and capital maintenance are authorized in IFRS while US GAAP only authorize two capital and capital maintenance concepts during low inflation and deflation: (1) physical capital maintenance and (2) financial capital maintenance in nominal monetary units (traditional Historical Cost Accounting) as stated in Par 45 to 48 in the FASB Conceptual Satement Nº 5. US GAAP does not recognize the third concept of capital and capital maintenance during low inflation and deflation, namely, financial capital maintenance in units of constant purchasing power as authorized in IFRS in the Framework, Par 104 (a) in 1989.

[edit] Concepts of capital

Par. 102. A financial concept of capital is adopted by most entities in preparing their financial statements. Under a financial concept of capital, such as invested money or invested purchasing power, capital is synonymous with the net assets or equity of the entity. Under a physical concept of capital, such as operating capability, capital is regarded as the productive capacity of the entity based on, for example, units of output per day.

Par. 103. The selection of the appropriate concept of capital by an entity should be based on the needs of the users of its financial statements. Thus, a financial concept of capital should be adopted if the users of financial statements are primarily concerned with the maintenance of nominal invested capital or the purchasing power of invested capital. If, however, the main concern of users is with the operating capability of the entity, a physical concept of capital should be used. The concept chosen indicates the goal to be attained in determining profit, even though there may be some measurement difficulties in making the concept operational.

[edit] Concepts of capital maintenance and the determination of profit

Par. 104. The concepts of capital in paragraph 102 give rise to the following two concepts of capital maintenance:

(a) Financial capital maintenance. Under this concept a profit is earned only if the financial (or money) amount of the net assets at the end of the period exceeds the financial (or money)

Page 8: International Financial Reporting Standards

amount of net assets at the beginning of the period, after excluding any distributions to, and contributions from, owners during the period. Financial capital maintenance can be measured in either nominal monetary units or units of constant purchasing power.

(b) Physical capital maintenance. Under this concept a profit is earned only if the physical productive capacity (or operating capability) of the entity (or the resources or funds needed to achieve that capacity) at the end of the period exceeds the physical productive capacity at the beginning of the period, after excluding any distributions to, and contributions from, owners during the period.

The concepts of capital in paragraph 102 give rise to the following three concepts of capital during low inflation and deflation:

(A) Physical capital. See paragraph 102&103 (B) Nominal financial capital. See paragraph 104.[3]

(C) Constant purchasing power financial capital. See paragraph 104.[4]

The concepts of capital in paragraph 102 give rise to the following three concepts of capital maintenance during low inflation and deflation:

(1) Physical capital maintenance: optional during low inflation and deflation. Current Cost Accounting model prescribed by IFRS. See Par 106.

(2) Financial capital maintenance in nominal monetary units (Historical cost accounting): authorized by IFRS but not prescribed—optional during low inflation and deflation. See Par 104 (a) Historical cost accounting. Financial capital maintenance in nominal monetary units per se during inflation and deflation is a fallacy: it is impossible to maintain the real value of financial capital constant with measurement in nominal monetary units per se during inflation and deflation.

(3) Financial capital maintenance in units of constant purchasing power (Constant Item Purchasing Power Accounting): authorized by IFRS but not prescribed—optional during low inflation and deflation. See Par 104(a). Financial capital maintenance in units of constant purchasing power is prescribed in IAS 29 [3] during hyperinflation: i.e. Constant Purchasing Power Accounting – CPPA.[5] Only financial capital maintenance in units of constant purchasing power per se can automatically maintain the real value of financial capital constant during inflation and deflation in all entities that at least break even—ceteris paribus—for an indefinite period of time. This would happen whether these entities own revaluable fixed assets or not and without the requirement of more capital or additional retained profits to simply maintain the existing constant real value of existing shareholders´ equity constant. Financial capital maintenance in units of constant purchasing power requires the calculation and accounting of net monetary losses and gains from holding monetary items during low inflation and deflation. The calculation and accounting of net monetary losses and gains during low inflation and deflation have thus been authorized in IFRS since 1989.

Par. 105. The concept of capital maintenance is concerned with how an entity defines the capital that it seeks to maintain. It provides the linkage between the concepts of capital and the concepts

Page 9: International Financial Reporting Standards

of profit because it provides the point of reference by which profit is measured; it is a prerequisite for distinguishing between an entity’s return on capital and its return of capital; only inflows of assets in excess of amounts needed to maintain capital may be regarded as profit and therefore as a return on capital. Hence, profit is the residual amount that remains after expenses (including capital maintenance adjustments, where appropriate) have been deducted from income. If expenses exceed income the residual amount is a loss.

Par. 106. The physical capital maintenance concept requires the adoption of the current cost basis of measurement. The financial capital maintenance concept, however, does not require the use of a particular basis of measurement. Selection of the basis under this concept is dependent on the type of financial capital that the entity is seeking to maintain.

Par. 107. The principal difference between the two concepts of capital maintenance is the treatment of the effects of changes in the prices of assets and liabilities of the entity. In general terms, an entity has maintained its capital if it has as much capital at the end of the period as it had at the beginning of the period. Any amount over and above that required to maintain the capital at the beginning of the period is profit.

Par. 108. Under the concept of financial capital maintenance where capital is defined in terms of nominal monetary units, profit represents the increase in nominal money capital over the period. Thus, increases in the prices of assets held over the period, conventionally referred to as holding gains, are, conceptually, profits. They may not be recognised as such, however, until the assets are disposed of in an exchange transaction. When the concept of financial capital maintenance is defined in terms of constant purchasing power units, profit represents the increase in invested purchasing power over the period. Thus, only that part of the increase in the prices of assets that exceeds the increase in the general level of prices is regarded as profit. The rest of the increase is treated as a capital maintenance adjustment and, hence, as part of equity.

Par. 109. Under the concept of physical capital maintenance when capital is defined in terms of the physical productive capacity, profit represents the increase in that capital over the period. All price changes affecting the assets and liabilities of the entity are viewed as changes in the measurement of the physical productive capacity of the entity; hence, they are treated as capital maintenance adjustments that are part of equity and not as profit.

Par. 110. The selection of the measurement bases and concept of capital maintenance will determine the accounting model used in the preparation of the financial statements. Different accounting models exhibit different degrees of relevance and reliability and, as in other areas, management must seek a balance between relevance and reliability. This Framework is applicable to a range of accounting models and provides guidance on preparing and presenting the financial statements constructed under the chosen model. At the present time, it is not the intention of the Board of IASC to prescribe a particular model other than in exceptional circumstances, such as for those entities reporting in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy. This intention will, however, be reviewed in the light of world developments.[6]

[edit] Requirements of IFRS

Page 10: International Financial Reporting Standards

{{|Requirements of IFRS}} IFRS financial statements consist of (IAS1.8)

a Statement of Financial Position a Statement of Comprehensive Income separate statements comprising an Income

Statement and separately a Statement of Comprehensive Income, which reconciles Profit or Loss on the Income statement to total comprehensive income

a Statement of Changes in Equity (SOCE) a Cash Flow Statement or Statement of Cash Flows notes, including a summary of the significant accounting policies

Comparative information is required for the prior reporting period (IAS 1.36). An entity preparing IFRS accounts for the first time must apply IFRS in full for the current and comparative period although there are transitional exemptions (IFRS1.7).

On 6 September 2007, the IASB issued a revised IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The main changes from the previous version are to require that an entity must:

present all non-owner changes in equity (that is, 'comprehensive income' ) either in one Statement of comprehensive income or in two statements (a separate income statement and a statement of comprehensive income). Components of comprehensive income may not be presented in the Statement of changes in equity.

present a statement of financial position (balance sheet) as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period in a complete set of financial statements when the entity applies the new standatd.

present a statement of cash flow. make necessary disclosure by the way of a note.

The revised IAS 1 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. Early adoption is permitted.

[edit] Adoption of IFRS

IFRS are used in many parts of the world, including the European Union, India, Hong Kong, Australia, Malaysia, Pakistan, GCC countries, Russia, South Africa, Singapore and Turkey. As of 27 August 2008, more than 113 countries around the world, including all of Europe, currently require or permit IFRS reporting. Approximately 85 of those /2008-184.htm | title = SEC Proposes Roadmap Toward Global Accounting Standards to Help Investors Compare Financial Information More Easily | date = 28 August 2008 |accessdate=27 August 2008 | publisher=U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission}}</ref>

Page 11: International Financial Reporting Standards

It is generally expected that IFRS adoption worldwide will be beneficial to investors and other users of financial statements, by reducing the costs of comparing alternative investments and increasing the quality of information.[8] Companies are also expected to benefit, as investors will be more willing to provide financing.[8] Companies that have high levels of international activities are among the group that would benefit from a switch to IFRS. Companies that are involved in foreign activities and investing benefit from the switch due to the increased comparability of a set accounting standard.[9] However, Ray J. Ball has expressed some skepticism of the overall cost of the international standard; he argues that the enforcement of the standards could be lax, and the regional differences in accounting could become obscured behind a label. He also expressed concerns about the fair value emphasis of IFRS and the influence of accountants from non-common-law regions, where losses have been recognized in a less timely manner.[8]

For a current overview see IAS PLUS's list of all countries that have adopted IFRS.

[edit] Australia

The Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) has issued 'Australian equivalents to IFRS' (A-IFRS), numbering IFRS standards as AASB 1–8 and IAS standards as AASB 101–141. Australian equivalents to SIC and IFRIC Interpretations have also been issued, along with a number of 'domestic' standards and interpretations. These pronouncements replaced previous Australian generally accepted accounting principles with effect from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005 (i.e. 30 June 2006 was the first report prepared under IFRS-equivalent standards for June year ends). To this end, Australia, along with Europe and a few other countries, was one of the initial adopters of IFRS for domestic purposes (in the developed world). It must be acknowledged, however, that IFRS and primarily IAS have been part and parcel of accounting standard package in the developing world for many years since the relevant accounting bodies were more open to adoption of international standards for many reasons including that of capability.

The AASB has made certain amendments to the IASB pronouncements in making A-IFRS, however these generally have the effect of eliminating an option under IFRS, introducing additional disclosures or implementing requirements for not-for-profit entities, rather than departing from IFRS for Australian entities. Accordingly, for-profit entities that prepare financial statements in accordance with A-IFRS are able to make an unreserved statement of compliance with IFRS.

The AASB continues to mirror changes made by the IASB as local pronouncements. In addition, over recent years, the AASB has issued so-called 'Amending Standards' to reverse some of the initial changes made to the IFRS text for local terminology differences, to reinstate options and eliminate some Australian-specific disclosure. There are some calls for Australia to simply adopt IFRS without 'Australianising' them and this has resulted in the AASB itself looking at alternative ways of adopting IFRS in Australia

[edit] Canada

Page 12: International Financial Reporting Standards

The use of IFRS became a requirement for Canadian publicly accountable profit-oriented enterprises for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. This includes public companies and other “profit-oriented enterprises that are responsible to large or diverse groups of shareholders.”[10] Al Rosen, a forensic accountant who, for 15 years acted as a technical advisor to three Auditors General of Canada, believes Canada foolishly decided to adopt IFRS rules stating "I don't think they've studied it well enough. Like, we sat down and looked at the Canadian practices we had under Canadian reporting, we looked at IFRS, and we have over 100 dirty tricks you can pull under IFRS."[11]

[edit] European Union

All listed EU companies have been required to use IFRS since 2005.

In order to be approved for use in the EU, standards must be endorsed by the Accounting Regulatory Committee (ARC), which includes representatives of member state governments and is advised by a group of accounting experts known as the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group. As a result IFRS as applied in the EU may differ from that used elsewhere.

Parts of the standard IAS 39: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement were not originally approved by the ARC. IAS 39 was subsequently amended, removing the option to record financial liabilities at fair value, and the ARC approved the amended version. The IASB is working with the EU to find an acceptable way to remove a remaining anomaly in respect of hedge accounting. The World Bank Centre for Financial Reporting Reform is working with countries in the ECA region to facilitate the adoption of IFRS and IFRS for SMEs.

[edit] Hong Kong

Starting in 2005, Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (HKFRS) are identical to International Financial Reporting Standards. While Hong Kong had adopted many of the earlier IAS as Hong Kong standards, some had not been adopted, including IAS 38 and IAS 39. And all of the December 2003 improvements and new and revised IFRS issued in 2004 and 2005 will take effect in Hong Kong beginning in 2010.

Implementing Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards: The challenge for 2005 (August 2005) sets out a summary of each standard and interpretation, the key changes it makes to accounting in Hong Kong, the most significant implications of its adoption, and related anticipated future developments. There is one Hong Kong standard and several Hong Kong interpretations that do not have counterparts in IFRS. Also there are several minor wording differences between HKFRS and IFRS.[12]

[edit] India

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has announced that IFRS will be mandatory in India for financial statements for the periods beginning on or after 1 April 2011. This will be done by revising existing accounting standards to make them compatible with IFRS.

Page 13: International Financial Reporting Standards

Reserve Bank of India has stated that financial statements of banks need to be IFRS-compliant for periods beginning on or after 1 April 2011...

The ICAI has also stated that IFRS will be applied to companies above Rs.1000 crore from April 2011. Phase wise applicability details for different companies in India:

Phase 1: Opening balance sheet as at 1 April 2011*i. Companies which are part of NSE Index – Nifty 50ii. Companies which are part of BSE Sensex – BSE 30

a. Companies whose shares or other securities are listed on a stock exchange outside India

b. Companies, whether listed or not, having net worth of more than INR1,000 crore

Phase 2: Opening balance sheet as at 1 April 2012*Companies not covered in phase 1 and having net worth exceeding INR 500 crore

Phase 3: Opening balance sheet as at 1 April 2014*Listed companies not covered in the earlier phases

If the financial year of a company commences at a date other than 1 April, then it shall prepare its opening balance sheet at the commencement of immediately following financial year.

On January 22, 2010 the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the road map for transition to IFRS. It is clear that India has deferred transition to IFRS by a year. In the first phase, companies included in Nifty 50 or BSE Sensex, and companies whose securities are listed on stock exchanges outside India and all other companies having net worth of Rs 1,000 crore will prepare and present financial statements using Indian Accounting Standards converged with IFRS. According to the press note issued by the government, those companies will convert their first balance sheet as at April 1, 2011, applying accounting standards convergent with IFRS if the accounting year ends on March 31. This implies that the transition date will be April 1, 2011. According to the earlier plan, the transition date was fixed at April 1, 2010.

The press note does not clarify whether the full set of financial statements for the year 2011–12 will be prepared by applying accounting standards convergent with IFRS. The deferment of the transition may make companies happy, but it will undermine India’s position. Presumably, lack of preparedness of Indian companies has led to the decision to defer the adoption of IFRS for a year. This is unfortunate that India, which boasts for its IT and accounting skills, could not prepare itself for the transition to IFRS over last four years. But that might be the ground reality. Transition in phases Companies, whether listed or not, having net worth of more than Rs 500 crore will convert their opening balance sheet as at April 1, 2013. Listed companies having net worth of Rs 500 crore or less will convert their opening balance sheet as at April 1, 2014. Un-listed companies having net worth of Rs 500 crore or less will continue to apply existing accounting standards, which might be modified from time to time. Transition to IFRS in phases is a smart move. The transition cost for smaller companies will be much lower because large

Page 14: International Financial Reporting Standards

companies will bear the initial cost of learning and smaller companies will not be required to reinvent the wheel. However, this will happen only if a significant number of large companies engage Indian accounting firms to provide them support in their transition to IFRS. If, most large companies, which will comply with Indian accounting standards convergent with IFRS in the first phase, choose one of the international firms, Indian accounting firms and smaller companies will not benefit from the learning in the first phase of the transition to IFRS. It is likely that international firms will protect their learning to retain their competitive advantage. Therefore, it is for the benefit of the country that each company makes judicious choice of the accounting firm as its partner without limiting its choice to international accounting firms. Public sector companies should take the lead and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) should develop a clear strategy to diffuse the learning. Size of companies The government has decided to measure the size of companies in terms of net worth. This is not the ideal unit to measure the size of a company. Net worth in the balance sheet is determined by accounting principles and methods. Therefore, it does not include the value of intangible assets. Moreover, as most assets and liabilities are measured at historical cost, the net worth does not reflect the current value of those assets and liabilities. Market capitalisation is a better measure of the size of a company. But it is difficult to estimate market capitalisation or fundamental value of unlisted companies. This might be the reason that the government has decided to use ‘net worth’ to measure size of companies. Some companies, which are large in terms of fundamental value or which intend to attract foreign capital, might prefer to use Indian accounting standards convergent with IFRS earlier than required under the road map presented by the government. The government should provide that choice. Conclusion The government will come up with a separate road map for banking and ice companies by February 28, 2010. Let us hope that transition in case of those companies will not be deferred further.

Quote from Accounting Research and Development Foundation

[edit] Japan

The minister for Financial Services in Japan announced in late June 2011 that mandatory application of the IFRS should not take place from fiscal year-ending March 2015; five to seven years should be required for preparation if mandatory application is decided; and to permit the use of U.S. GAAP beyond the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016.[13]

[edit] Pakistan

All listed companies must follow all issued IAS/IFRS except the following:IAS 39 and IAS 40: Implementation of these standards has been held in abeyance by State Bank of Pakistan for Banks and DFIsIFRS-1: Effective for the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2004. This IFRS is being considered for adoption for all companies other than banks and DFIs.IFRS-9: Under consideration of the relevant Committee of the Institute (ICAP). This IFRS will be effective for the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

[edit] Russia

The government of Russia has been implementing a program to harmonize its national accounting standards with IFRS since 1998. Since then twenty new accounting standards were issued by the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation aiming to align accounting practices with IFRS. Despite these efforts essential differences between national accounting standards and IFRS remain. Since 2004 all commercial banks have been obliged to prepare financial statements

Page 17: International Financial Reporting Standards

in accordance with both national accounting standards and IFRS. Full transition to IFRS is delayed and is expected to take place from 2011.

[edit] Singapore

In Singapore the Accounting Standards Committee (ASC) is in charge of standard setting. Singapore closely models its Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) according to the IFRS, with appropriate changes made to suit the Singapore context. Before a standard is enacted, consultations with the IASB are made to ensure consistency of core principles.[14]

[edit] South Africa

All companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange have been required to comply with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards since 1 January 2005.

The IFRS for SMEs may be applied by 'limited interest companies', as defined in the South African Corporate Laws Amendment Act of 2006 (that is, they are not 'widely held'), if they do not have public accountability (that is, not listed and not a financial institution). Alternatively, the company may choose to apply full South African Statements of GAAP or IFRS.

South African Statements of GAAP are entirely consistent with IFRS, although there may be a delay between issuance of an IFRS and the equivalent SA Statement of GAAP (can affect voluntary early adoption).

[edit] Turkey

Turkish Accounting Standards Board translated IFRS into Turkish in 2006. Since 2006 Turkish companies listed in Istanbul Stock Exchange are required to prepare IFRS reports.

[edit] Five Stages of Change

Although a transition plan to IFRS can be divided into phases in a variety of ways, let's consider as an example a medium-to-large U.S. company with a number of overseas activities. We've identified five stages designed to achieve IFRS readiness across the organization and pegged them to seven key responsibility centers within the organization.We've tentatively assigned tasks to the most relevant centers, with each center participating at some level in each of the five stages. Furthermore, for the controllership tasks, the more significant likely IFRS differences are itemized along with the additional IFRS considerations in the first year of adoption.

Stage 1: Initial Assessment

The first stage encompasses the research appropriate to become familiar with and understand the project's relevant components and effects, and it identifies internal and external capabilities and resources, such as consultants and contractors. It's likely that the CFO or his or her designee will take the lead role throughout an IFRS project, given the

Page 18: International Financial Reporting Standards

concentration of expertise and degrees of impact in areas often under the CFO's direction (such as financial reporting and communications, accounting, and income and other taxes). Naturally, this can vary by organization and structure. The CFO will probably make an initial assessment of the strategic significance and implications of adopting IFRS. The controller/chief accounting officer will be very active in all stages, especially the first and second, where specific differences between IFRS and GAAP must be identified and analyzed for the company as a whole and for its various business segments around the world.The next most active player in all stages is IS. This center not only should identify its key leader/participant in the project early, but it should be deeply involved from the outset given the typically large implications for IS regarding both financial and accounting applications and the various operational processes with which they interface. Meanwhile, HR leaders should begin to identify the more indirect, yet significant, effects on pensions and compensation contracts as well as the substantial training and communications challenges within the organization.

Stage 2: Detailed Analysis

The second stage is more rigorous in its impact analysis, both in terms of actual likely accounting differences and the effects on compensation agreements, debt covenants, and other contracts directly and indirectly related to accounting metrics. Thus, HR leadership becomes more actively involved, and IS will do its preliminary analysis side by side with the accounting/disclosure analysis, which now needs to consider in detail each of the accounting areas noted in Table 2.The progress of convergence is of special importance here since convergence efforts are directed such that at least some major IFRS/GAAP differences will be superseded by a converged standard that may become effective earlier than full adoption of IFRS. The tax department, for instance, often located within the CFO's organization, will initially consider "last in, first out" (LIFO) and other tax considerations related to the switch.In this stage, the CEO/board should receive a preliminary budget and cost-benefit analysis coordinated and summarized by the controller with the input of IS. IS leadership will have extended its analysis to interfaces with suppliers and customers. Both the internal and external auditors should be fully informed of progress in this stage since they'll be required to concur with all accounting conclusions.

Stage 3: Designing the Change Process

In the third stage,1all significant relevant information has been gathered and analyzed. The organization now understands the scope of the effort, its costs, and its benefits. The formal change management process, including a timeline, can be designed and staffed. Training can begin in all relevant segments of the company for financial and operational managers and key personnel. Internal and external auditors will have concurred with both accounting conclusions and the impact on internal controls over financial reporting.

Stage 4: Managing the Change Process

Page 19: International Financial Reporting Standards

The fourth stage includes all changes to information flows and processes, both manual and automated, in anticipation of the conversion dates. Thus, changes are made and tested, but at least some aren't yet made operational. Implementation training continues. The CFO's office drafts appropriate external communications, such as investor relations (see Table 4). Also noteworthy at this stage is the need to coordinate the IS change process with changes already embedded in the management of the software development life cycle.

Stage 5: Implement and Monitor

The fifth and final stage, outlined in Table 5, is full implementation with ongoing testing of quality and accuracy. Remaining communications, internal and external, are completed. Enterprise risk management and other strategic processes are adjusted in light of the new model of measurement and disclosure.The cost-benefit analysis in the second and third stages can present special challenges regarding measurable benefits. Since IFRS adoption isn't likely to be optional for public companies, the overall project provides for compliance with the new reporting regulations. Measuring benefits under these circumstances can be somewhat academic, especially when the benefits cited in the public policy debate concern efficiencies of global capital markets and don't translate easily into measurable incremental revenues or cost savings at the company level.

Standar Pelaporan Keuangan Internasional (IFRS) adalah berbasis prinsip standar, interpretasi dan kerangka (1989) [1] yang diadopsi oleh Dewan Standar Akuntansi Internasional (IASB).

Page 22: International Financial Reporting Standards

Banyak standar membentuk bagian dari IFRS dikenal dengan nama tua Standar Akuntansi Internasional (IAS). IAS diterbitkan antara tahun 1973 dan 2001 oleh Dewan Standar Akuntansi Internasional Committee (IASC). Pada tanggal 1 April 2001, IASB baru mengambil alih dari IASC tanggung jawab untuk menetapkan Standar Akuntansi Internasional. Dalam pertemuan pertama Dewan baru mengadopsi IAS yang ada dan Standing Komite Interpretasi standar (SICS). IASB telah terus mengembangkan standar memanggil standar IFRS yang baru.Isi [Sembunyikan]

Deloitte menyatakan:

Dengan tidak adanya Standar atau Interpretasi yang secara khusus berlaku untuk transaksi, manajemen harus menggunakan penilaian dalam mengembangkan dan menerapkan suatu kebijakan akuntansi yang menghasilkan informasi yang relevan dan dapat diandalkan.

[Sunting] Tujuan laporan keuangan

Sebuah pernyataan keuangan harus mencerminkan pandangan yang benar dan adil dari urusan bisnis organisasi. Karena pernyataan ini digunakan oleh berbagai konstituen regulator masyarakat /, mereka perlu mencerminkan pandangan yang benar tentang posisi keuangan organisasi. dan sangat membantu untuk memeriksa posisi keuangan bisnis untuk jangka waktu tertentu.[Sunting] asumsi yang mendasari

IFRS mengotorisasi dua model akuntansi dasar:

I. Keuangan pemeliharaan modal dalam satuan moneter nominal, yaitu, akuntansi biaya historis selama inflasi yang rendah dan deflasi (lihat Framework, Par 104 (a)).

II. Pemeliharaan modal keuangan dalam satuan daya beli konstan, yaitu, Barang Pembelian Power Konstan Akuntansi - CIPPA - selama inflasi yang rendah dan deflasi (lihat Framework, Par 104 (a)) dan Pembelian Akuntansi Daya Konstan (lihat IAS 29) - CPPA - selama hiperinflasi. Pemeliharaan modal keuangan dalam satuan daya beli konstan tidak berwenang berdasarkan US GAAP.

Berikut ini adalah empat asumsi yang mendasari dalam IFRS:

1. Dasar akrual: pengaruh transaksi dan peristiwa lain diakui ketika mereka terjadi, bukan sebagai kas yang diperoleh atau dibayar. 2. Going concern: suatu entitas akan terus di masa mendatang. 3. Mengukur asumsi satuan Stabil: pemeliharaan modal keuangan dalam satuan moneter nominal atau akuntansi biaya tradisional historis, yaitu, akuntan mempertimbangkan perubahan dalam daya beli mata uang fungsional sampai dengan tetapi tidak termasuk 26% per tahun selama tiga tahun berturut-turut (yang akan menjadi 100 % inflasi kumulatif selama tiga tahun atau hiperinflasi sebagaimana didefinisikan dalam PSAK) sebagai material atau tidak cukup penting bagi mereka untuk memilih pemeliharaan modal keuangan dalam satuan daya beli konstan selama inflasi yang rendah dan deflasi yang berwenang dalam IFRS dalam Kerangka, Par 104 (a) .

Akuntan menerapkan unit pengukuran asumsi yang stabil (Akuntansi Biaya Historis tradisional) selama inflasi tahunan sebesar 25% selama 3 tahun berturut-turut akan menghancurkan 100% dari nilai sebenarnya dari semua item nilai konstan non real-moneter tidak dipertahankan di bawah paradigma Biaya Sejarah.

4. Unit daya beli konstan: pemeliharaan modal keuangan dalam satuan daya beli konstan selama inflasi yang rendah dan deflasi; yaitu penolakan terhadap asumsi unit pengukuran stabil. Lihat Kerangka (1989), Ayat 104 (a). Pengukuran dalam satuan daya beli konstan (inflasi-penyesuaian) di bawah Pembelian Barang Akuntansi Daya Konstan hanya item nilai konstan non real-moneter (item tidak

Page 25: International Financial Reporting Standards

variabel) pengobatan kerusakan yang disebabkan oleh Akuntansi Biaya Historis dari nilai real dari nilai riil konstan non- item moneter tidak pernah dijaga konstan sebagai hasil dari pelaksanaan asumsi satuan pengukuran stabil selama inflasi rendah. Hal ini tidak melakukan inflasi menghancurkan. Ini adalah implementasi dari asumsi unit pengukuran yang stabil, yaitu, HCA. Hanya konstanta nyata nilai-non-moneter item yang disesuaikan dengan inflasi selama inflasi yang rendah dan deflasi. Semua non-moneter barang (baik real variabel nilai-non-moneter item dan konstan nilai riil barang-barang non-moneter) yang disesuaikan dengan inflasi selama hiperinflasi seperti yang dipersyaratkan dalam PSAK 29 Pelaporan Keuangan dalam Ekonomi Hyperinflationary, yaitu di bawah Akuntansi Daya Beli Konstan.

[Sunting] Karakteristik kualitatif laporan keuangan

Karakteristik kualitatif laporan keuangan meliputi:

Understandability Keandalan Relevansi Komparabilitas

[Sunting] Elemen laporan keuangan (IAS 1 pasal 10)

Posisi keuangan dari suatu perusahaan terutama disediakan dalam laporan posisi keuangan. Unsur-unsur meliputi:

- Aset: Aset adalah sumber daya yang dikendalikan oleh perusahaan sebagai akibat dari peristiwa masa lalu dari mana manfaat ekonomi masa depan yang diharapkan mengalir ke perusahaan. - Kewajiban: Kewajiban adalah kewajiban kini perusahaan yang timbul dari peristiwa masa lalu, penyelesaian yang diharapkan dapat menghasilkan suatu arus keluar dari sumber daya perusahaan ', yaitu, aset. - Ekuitas: Ekuitas adalah bunga sisa dalam aset perusahaan setelah dikurangi semua kewajiban di bawah model Sejarah Akuntansi Biaya. Ekuitas juga dikenal sebagai ekuitas pemilik. Di bawah unit daya beli ekuitas Model konstan adalah nilai riil yang konstan dari ekuitas pemegang saham '.

Kinerja keuangan dari suatu perusahaan terutama disediakan dalam Laporan Laba Rugi Komprehensif (laporan laba rugi atau laba dan rugi). Unsur-unsur laporan laba rugi atau unsur-unsur yang mengukur kinerja keuangan adalah sebagai berikut:

- Pendapatan: kenaikan manfaat ekonomi selama suatu periode akuntansi dalam bentuk arus masuk atau peningkatan aset, atau penurunan kewajiban yang mengakibatkan kenaikan ekuitas. Namun, tidak termasuk kontribusi yang dibuat oleh peserta ekuitas, yaitu, pemilik, mitra dan pemegang saham. - Biaya: penurunan manfaat ekonomi selama suatu periode akuntansi dalam bentuk arus keluar, atau depletions aset atau incurrences kewajiban yang mengakibatkan penurunan ekuitas. Pendapatan dan beban diukur dalam satuan moneter nominal dalam model Akuntansi Biaya Sejarah

Page 26: International Financial Reporting Standards

dan dalam satuan daya beli konstan (disesuaikan dengan inflasi) di bawah Unit model Daya Beli Konstan.

Laporan Perubahan Ekuitas Laporan Arus Kas Catatan atas Laporan Keuangan

[Sunting] Pengakuan unsur-unsur laporan keuangan

Item diakui dalam laporan keuangan bila:

itu kemungkinan manfaat ekonomi masa depan akan mengalir ke atau dari suatu entitas. sumber daya dapat diukur secara andal - jika asumsi unit pengukuran yang stabil diterapkan dalam model Akuntansi Biaya Sejarah: yaitu diasumsikan bahwa unit moneter account (mata uang fungsional) adalah sangat stabil (nol inflasi atau deflasi), melainkan hanya diasumsikan bahwa tidak ada inflasi atau deflasi yang pernah, dan item dinyatakan dengan Biaya asli Riwayat mereka nominal dari setiap tanggal sebelum: 1 bulan, 1 tahun, 10 atau 100 atau 200 atau lebih tahun sebelumnya, yaitu asumsi unit pengukuran yang stabil diterapkan untuk item seperti modal saham yang ditempatkan, laba ditahan, cadangan modal, semua item lainnya dalam ekuitas pemegang saham ', semua item dalam Laporan Laba Rugi Komprehensif (kecuali gaji, upah, sewa, dll, yang disesuaikan dengan inflasi setiap tahun), dll

Di bawah Unit model Daya Beli Konstan, semua nyata konstan nilai-non-moneter item yang disesuaikan dengan inflasi selama inflasi yang rendah dan deflasi; yaitu semua item dalam Laporan Laba Rugi Komprehensif, semua item dalam ekuitas pemegang saham ', Piutang Akun, Akun Hutang, semua non-moneter hutang, seluruh piutang non-moneter, ketentuan, dll[Sunting] Pengukuran unsur-unsur laporan keuangan

Par. 99. Pengukuran adalah proses penentuan jumlah moneter di mana elemen-elemen dari laporan keuangan harus diakui dan dibawa dalam neraca dan laporan laba rugi. Hal ini melibatkan pemilihan dasar pengukuran tertentu.

Par. 100. Sejumlah dasar pengukuran yang berbeda digunakan untuk derajat yang berbeda dan dalam berbagai kombinasi dalam laporan keuangan. Mereka adalah sebagai berikut:

(A) biaya historis. Aktiva dicatat sebesar jumlah kas atau setara kas yang dibayarkan atau nilai wajar dari pertimbangan yang diberikan untuk mendapatkan mereka pada saat akuisisi mereka. Kewajiban dicatat pada jumlah hasil yang diterima dalam pertukaran untuk kewajiban, atau di beberapa keadaan (misalnya, pajak penghasilan), pada jumlah kas atau setara kas yang diharapkan akan dibayarkan untuk memenuhi kewajiban dalam kegiatan usaha normal.

(B) biaya saat ini. Aktiva dicatat sebesar jumlah kas atau setara kas yang harus dibayar jika sama atau setara aktiva diperoleh saat ini. Kewajiban disajikan sebesar jumlah terdiskonto dari kas atau setara kas yang akan diperlukan untuk melunasi kewajiban saat ini.

Page 27: International Financial Reporting Standards

(C) Realisable (penyelesaian) nilai. Aktiva dicatat sebesar jumlah kas atau setara kas yang saat ini dapat diperoleh dengan menjual aset dalam pembuangan teratur. Aktiva dinyatakan sebesar nilai diskonto sekarang dari arus kas masa depan bersih yang item diharapkan untuk menghasilkan dalam kegiatan usaha normal. Kewajiban dinyatakan sebesar nilai diskonto sekarang dari arus kas masa depan bersih yang diharapkan akan diperlukan untuk menyelesaikan kewajiban dalam kegiatan usaha normal.

Par. 101. Dasar pengukuran yang paling sering diadopsi oleh entitas dalam penyusunan laporan keuangan biaya historis mereka. Hal ini biasanya dikombinasikan dengan dasar pengukuran lain. Sebagai contoh, persediaan biasanya dilakukan di bawah nilai realisasi biaya dan bersih, surat berharga dapat dilakukan pada nilai pasar dan kewajiban pensiun dinyatakan sebesar nilai sekarang mereka. Selain itu, beberapa entitas menggunakan dasar biaya saat ini sebagai respon terhadap ketidakmampuan dari model akuntansi biaya historis untuk menangani efek dari perubahan harga aset non-moneter.[Sunting] Konsep modal dan pemeliharaan modal

Perbedaan utama antara US GAAP dan IFRS adalah kenyataan bahwa tiga konsep fundamental berbeda dari modal dan pemeliharaan modal yang berwenang dalam IFRS US GAAP hanya sementara otorisasi dua modal dan konsep modal pemeliharaan selama inflasi yang rendah dan deflasi: (1) pemeliharaan modal fisik dan ( 2) pemeliharaan modal keuangan dalam satuan moneter nominal (Akuntansi Biaya Historis tradisional) sebagaimana tercantum dalam Par 45-48 di Satement FASB Konseptual N º 5. US GAAP tidak mengakui konsep ketiga pemeliharaan modal dan modal selama inflasi yang rendah dan deflasi, yaitu, pemeliharaan modal keuangan dalam satuan daya beli konstan sebagai yang berwenang dalam IFRS dalam Kerangka, Par 104 (a) pada tahun 1989.[Sunting] Konsep modal

Par. 102. Sebuah konsep modal keuangan yang diadopsi oleh badan yang paling dalam menyiapkan laporan keuangan mereka. Dalam konsep keuangan modal, seperti menginvestasikan uang atau daya beli yang diinvestasikan, modal adalah sinonim dengan aktiva bersih atau ekuitas entitas. Berdasarkan konsep fisik dari modal, seperti kemampuan operasi, modal dianggap sebagai kapasitas produktif dari entitas didasarkan pada, misalnya, unit output per hari.

Par. 103. Pemilihan konsep modal yang sesuai dengan entitas harus didasarkan pada kebutuhan pengguna laporan keuangan. Dengan demikian, konsep keuangan modal harus diadopsi jika pemakai laporan keuangan terutama prihatin dengan pemeliharaan modal yang diinvestasikan nominal atau daya beli dari modal yang diinvestasikan. Namun, jika perhatian utama pengguna adalah dengan kemampuan operasi entitas, konsep modal fisik harus digunakan. Konsep yang dipilih menunjukkan tujuan yang akan dicapai dalam menentukan laba, meskipun mungkin ada kesulitan dalam membuat pengukuran beberapa konsep operasional.[Sunting] Konsep pemeliharaan modal dan penentuan laba

Par. 104. Konsep modal dalam paragraf 102 menimbulkan dua konsep pemeliharaan modal berikut:

Page 28: International Financial Reporting Standards

(A) pemeliharaan modal keuangan. Dalam konsep ini keuntungan diperoleh hanya jika jumlah (atau uang) keuangan dari aktiva bersih pada akhir periode melebihi jumlah (atau uang) keuangan aktiva bersih pada awal periode, setelah tidak termasuk distribusi kepada, dan kontribusi dari, pemilik selama periode tersebut. Pemeliharaan modal keuangan dapat diukur baik dalam satuan moneter nominal atau unit daya beli konstan.

(B) pemeliharaan modal fisik. Dalam konsep ini keuntungan diperoleh hanya jika kapasitas produktif fisik (atau kemampuan operasi) dari entitas (atau sumber daya atau dana yang dibutuhkan untuk mencapai kapasitas itu) pada akhir periode melebihi kapasitas produktif fisik pada awal periode , setelah tidak termasuk distribusi ke, dan kontribusi dari, pemilik selama periode tersebut.

Konsep modal dalam paragraf 102 menimbulkan tiga konsep berikut modal selama inflasi yang rendah dan deflasi:

(A) modal fisik. Lihat ayat 102 & 103 (B) modal finansial Nominal. Lihat 104 ayat. [3] (C) beli Konstan modal kekuatan keuangan. Lihat 104 ayat. [4]

Konsep modal dalam paragraf 102 menimbulkan tiga konsep berikut pemeliharaan modal selama inflasi yang rendah dan deflasi:

(1) pemeliharaan modal fisik: opsional selama inflasi yang rendah dan deflasi. Model Biaya Akuntansi saat ini diresepkan oleh IFRS. Lihat Par 106. (2) pemeliharaan modal keuangan dalam satuan moneter nominal (akuntansi biaya historis): disahkan oleh IFRS tetapi tidak diresepkan-opsional selama inflasi yang rendah dan deflasi. Lihat 104 Par (a) akuntansi biaya historis. Pemeliharaan modal keuangan dalam satuan moneter nominal per se selama inflasi dan deflasi adalah suatu kesalahan: tidak mungkin untuk mempertahankan nilai riil modal keuangan konstan dengan pengukuran dalam unit moneter nominal per se selama inflasi dan deflasi. (3) pemeliharaan modal keuangan dalam satuan daya beli konstan (Item Pembelian Akuntansi Daya Konstan): disahkan oleh IFRS tetapi tidak diresepkan-opsional selama inflasi yang rendah dan deflasi. Lihat Par 104 (a). Pemeliharaan modal keuangan dalam satuan daya beli konstan diresepkan dalam IAS 29 [3] selama hiperinflasi: yaitu Purchasing Power Konstan Akuntansi - CPPA [5] Hanya modal pemeliharaan keuangan dalam satuan daya beli konstan per se secara otomatis dapat mempertahankan nilai riil. konstan selama inflasi dan deflasi modal keuangan di semua entitas yang setidaknya impas-ceteris paribus-untuk waktu yang tidak terbatas. Ini akan terjadi apakah entitas memiliki aset tetap revaluable atau tidak dan tanpa persyaratan modal lebih atau laba ditahan tambahan untuk hanya mempertahankan nilai riil yang ada konstan dari ekuitas pemegang saham yang ada konstan '. Pemeliharaan modal keuangan dalam satuan daya beli konstan membutuhkan perhitungan dan akuntansi kerugian moneter bersih dan keuntungan dari memegang item moneter selama inflasi yang rendah dan deflasi. Perhitungan dan akuntansi kerugian moneter bersih dan keuntungan selama inflasi yang rendah dan deflasi telah demikian telah diizinkan dalam IFRS sejak tahun 1989.

Page 29: International Financial Reporting Standards

Par. 105. Konsep pemeliharaan modal adalah berkaitan dengan bagaimana suatu entitas mendefinisikan modal yang berusaha untuk mempertahankan. Ini menyediakan hubungan antara konsep modal dan konsep keuntungan karena memberikan titik acuan dimana laba diukur, yang merupakan prasyarat untuk membedakan antara mengembalikan entitas pada modal dan kembali modalnya, aliran hanya aset dalam kelebihan jumlah yang diperlukan untuk memelihara modal dapat dianggap sebagai keuntungan dan karenanya sebagai pengembalian modal. Oleh karena itu, laba adalah jumlah residu yang tersisa setelah biaya (termasuk penyesuaian pemeliharaan modal, mana yang sesuai) telah dikurangkan dari penghasilan. Jika biaya melebihi pendapatan jumlah sisa kerugian.

Par. 106. Konsep pemeliharaan modal fisik memerlukan adopsi dasar pengukuran biaya saat ini. Konsep pemeliharaan modal keuangan, bagaimanapun, tidak memerlukan penggunaan dasar pengukuran tertentu. Pemilihan dasar dalam konsep ini tergantung pada jenis modal keuangan yang entitas berusaha untuk mempertahankan.

Par. 107. Perbedaan utama antara dua konsep pemeliharaan modal adalah perlakuan terhadap efek dari perubahan harga aktiva dan kewajiban entitas. Secara umum, suatu entitas telah mempertahankan modal jika memiliki modal sebanyak pada akhir periode seperti itu pada awal periode. Setiap jumlah atas dan di atas yang diperlukan untuk mempertahankan modal pada awal periode adalah laba.

Par. 108. Di bawah konsep pemeliharaan modal keuangan di mana modal didefinisikan dalam istilah satuan moneter nominal, laba merupakan kenaikan dalam modal uang nominal selama periode tersebut. Jadi, kenaikan harga aset yang dimiliki selama periode tersebut, secara konvensional disebut sebagai memegang keuntungan, yang, konseptual, keuntungan. Mereka tidak dapat diakui sebagai seperti itu, bagaimanapun, sampai aset dibuang dalam transaksi pertukaran. Ketika konsep pemeliharaan modal keuangan didefinisikan dalam unit daya beli konstan, laba merupakan kenaikan daya beli yang diinvestasikan selama periode tersebut. Jadi, hanya bagian dari kenaikan harga aset yang melebihi kenaikan tingkat harga umum dianggap sebagai keuntungan. Sisa peningkatan diperlakukan sebagai penyesuaian pemeliharaan modal dan, karenanya, sebagai bagian dari ekuitas.

Par. 109. Di bawah konsep pemeliharaan modal fisik ketika modal didefinisikan dalam hal kapasitas produktif fisik, laba merupakan kenaikan modal yang selama periode tersebut. Semua perubahan harga yang mempengaruhi aktiva dan kewajiban entitas yang dipandang sebagai perubahan dalam pengukuran kapasitas produktif fisik entitas; maka, mereka diperlakukan sebagai penyesuaian pemeliharaan modal yang merupakan bagian dari ekuitas dan bukan sebagai keuntungan.

Par. 110. Pemilihan dasar pengukuran dan konsep pemeliharaan modal akan menentukan model akuntansi yang digunakan dalam penyusunan laporan keuangan. Model akuntansi yang berbeda menunjukkan derajat yang berbeda dari relevansi dan keandalan dan, seperti di daerah lain, manajemen harus mencari keseimbangan antara relevansi dan keandalan. Kerangka ini berlaku untuk berbagai model akuntansi dan memberikan pedoman penyusunan dan penyajian laporan keuangan dibangun di bawah model yang dipilih. Pada saat ini, itu bukan maksud dari Dewan IASC untuk meresepkan model tertentu selain dalam keadaan luar biasa, seperti untuk entitas-entitas pelaporan dalam mata uang

Untuk gambaran saat melihat daftar IAS PLUS dari semua negara yang telah mengadopsi IFRS.[Sunting] Australia

Standar Akuntansi Australia Dewan (AASB) telah mengeluarkan 'setara Australia ke IFRS' (A-IFRS), penomoran standar IFRS sebagai AASB 1-8 dan standar IAS sebagai AASB 101-141. Setara Australia untuk SIC dan Interpretasi IFRIC juga telah diterbitkan, bersama dengan sejumlah 'domestik' standar dan interpretasi. Pernyataan ini menggantikan sebelumnya Australia prinsip akuntansi yang berlaku umum dengan efek dari periode laporan tahunan yang dimulai pada atau setelah tanggal 1 Januari 2005 (yaitu 30 Juni 2006 adalah laporan pertama disiapkan berdasarkan IFRS-setara standar untuk tahun berakhir Juni). Untuk tujuan ini, Australia, bersama dengan Eropa dan beberapa negara lain, adalah salah satu pengadopsi awal IFRS untuk tujuan dalam negeri (di negara maju). Harus diakui, bagaimanapun, bahwa IFRS dan IAS terutama telah menjadi bagian dan paket dari paket standar akuntansi di negara berkembang selama bertahun-tahun sejak badan akuntansi yang relevan lebih terbuka untuk mengadopsi standar internasional untuk berbagai alasan termasuk kemampuan.

Para AASB telah membuat perubahan tertentu kepada pernyataan IASB dalam membuat A-IFRS, namun ini umumnya memiliki efek menghilangkan pilihan berdasarkan IFRS, memperkenalkan pengungkapan tambahan atau menerapkan persyaratan karena tidak-untuk-entitas nirlaba, bukan berangkat dari IFRS untuk Australia entitas. Oleh karena itu, untuk entitas nirlaba yang menyiapkan laporan keuangan sesuai dengan A-IFRS mampu membuat pernyataan Unreserved kepatuhan dengan IFRS.

Para AASB terus cermin perubahan yang dibuat oleh IASB sebagai pernyataan lokal. Selain itu, selama beberapa tahun terakhir, AASB telah mengeluarkan apa yang disebut 'Standar Mengubah' untuk membalikkan beberapa perubahan awal dibuat untuk teks IFRS untuk perbedaan terminologi lokal, untuk mengembalikan pilihan dan menghilangkan beberapa pengungkapan Australia-spesifik. Ada beberapa panggilan bagi Australia untuk hanya mengadopsi IFRS tanpa 'Australianising' mereka dan ini telah menghasilkan AASB sendiri mencari cara alternatif mengadopsi IFRS di Australia

Penggunaan IFRS menjadi persyaratan untuk Kanada publik akuntabel berorientasi pada keuntungan perusahaan untuk periode keuangan yang dimulai pada atau setelah 1 Januari 2011. Ini mencakup perusahaan publik dan lainnya "berorientasi pada keuntungan perusahaan yang bertanggung jawab kepada kelompok-kelompok besar atau beragam pemegang saham." [10] Al Rosen, seorang akuntan forensik yang, selama 15 tahun bertindak sebagai penasihat teknis untuk tiga Auditor Jenderal Kanada, percaya Kanada bodohnya memutuskan untuk mengadopsi IFRS aturan menyatakan "Saya tidak berpikir mereka sudah mempelajari dengan cukup baik. Seperti, kami duduk dan melihat praktek Kanada kami memiliki di bawah pelaporan Kanada, kita melihat IFRS, dan kami memiliki lebih dari 100 kotor trik Anda dapat menarik berdasarkan IFRS. "[11][Sunting] Uni Eropa

Semua perusahaan yang terdaftar Uni Eropa telah diminta untuk menggunakan IFRS sejak tahun 2005.

Agar disetujui untuk digunakan di Uni Eropa, standar harus disetujui oleh Komite Regulasi Akuntansi (ARC), yang mencakup wakil-wakil pemerintah negara anggota dan disarankan oleh sekelompok ahli akuntansi dikenal sebagai Kelompok Penasehat Pelaporan Keuangan Eropa. Sebagai IFRS hasilnya seperti yang diterapkan di Uni Eropa mungkin berbeda dari yang digunakan di tempat lain.

Bagian dari standar IAS 39: Instrumen Keuangan: Pengakuan dan Pengukuran awalnya tidak disetujui oleh ARC. IAS 39 kemudian diubah, menghapus pilihan untuk merekam kewajiban keuangan pada nilai wajar, dan ARC menyetujui versi diubah. IASB bekerja sama dengan Uni Eropa untuk menemukan cara yang dapat diterima untuk menghilangkan anomali yang tersisa dalam hal akuntansi lindung nilai. Bank Dunia Pusat Pelaporan Reformasi Keuangan bekerja dengan negara-negara di kawasan ECA untuk memfasilitasi adopsi IFRS dan IFRS untuk UKM.[Sunting] Hong Kong

Mulai tahun 2005, Hong Kong Standar Pelaporan Keuangan (HKFRS) yang identik dengan Standar Pelaporan Keuangan Internasional.

Institute of Chartered Akuntan India (ICAI) telah mengumumkan IFRS akan wajib di India untuk

Page 33: International Financial Reporting Standards

pernyataan keuangan untuk periode yang dimulai pada atau setelah 1 April 2011. Ini akan dilakukan dengan merevisi standar akuntansi yang ada untuk membuat mereka kompatibel dengan IFRS.

Reserve Bank of India telah menyatakan bahwa laporan keuangan bank harus IFRS-compliant untuk periode yang dimulai pada atau setelah 1 April 2011 ...

Para ICAI juga menyatakan bahwa IFRS akan diterapkan untuk perusahaan-perusahaan di atas Rs.1000 crore dari April 2011. Tahap penerapan rincian bijaksana untuk perusahaan yang berbeda di India:

Tahap 1: Membuka neraca per 1 April 2011 *i. Perusahaan yang merupakan bagian dari NSE Indeks - 50 Niftyii. Perusahaan yang merupakan bagian dari BSE Sensex - BSE 30

a. Perusahaan yang saham atau efek lainnya tercatat di bursa saham luar India

b. Perusahaan, apakah terdaftar atau tidak, memiliki kekayaan bersih lebih dari INR1 crore, 000

Tahap 2: Membuka neraca per 1 April 2012 *Perusahaan yang tidak tercakup dalam fase 1 dan memiliki kekayaan bersih melebihi USD 500 crore

Tahap 3: Membuka neraca per 1 April 2014 *Tercantum perusahaan tidak tercakup dalam tahap awal

Jika tahun keuangan perusahaan dimulai pada tanggal selain tanggal 1 April, maka harus menyiapkan neraca saldo pembukaan pada saat dimulainya segera setelah tahun keuangan.

Pada tanggal 22 Januari 2010, Departemen Corporate Affairs menerbitkan peta jalan untuk transisi ke IFRS. Sudah jelas bahwa India telah ditangguhkan transisi ke IFRS oleh tahun. Pada tahap pertama, perusahaan yang termasuk dalam 50 Nifty atau BSE Sensex, dan perusahaan sekuritas yang terdaftar di bursa efek di luar India dan semua perusahaan lain yang memiliki kekayaan bersih sebesar Rs 1.000 crore akan mempersiapkan dan menyajikan laporan keuangan dengan menggunakan Standar Akuntansi India konvergensi dengan IFRS. Menurut catatan pers yang dikeluarkan oleh pemerintah, perusahaan-perusahaan akan mengkonversi neraca pertama mereka sebagai pada April 1 Januari 2011, menerapkan standar akuntansi konvergen dengan IFRS jika tahun buku yang berakhir pada 31 Maret. Ini menyiratkan bahwa tanggal transisi akan April 1 Januari 2011. Menurut rencana sebelumnya, tanggal transisi itu tetap pada April 1, 2010.

Catatan tekan tidak mengklarifikasi apakah laporan set lengkap keuangan untuk tahun 2011-12 akan disiapkan dengan menerapkan standar akuntansi konvergen dengan IFRS. Penangguhan transisi dapat membuat perusahaan senang, tetapi akan melemahkan posisi India. Agaknya, kurangnya kesiapan perusahaan India telah menyebabkan keputusan untuk menunda adopsi IFRS selama setahun. Hal ini sangat disayangkan bahwa India, yang menawarkan untuk TI dan keterampilan akuntansi, tidak bisa

Page 34: International Financial Reporting Standards

mempersiapkan diri untuk transisi ke IFRS selama empat tahun terakhir. Tapi itu mungkin realitas tanah. Transisi di Perusahaan fase, apakah terdaftar atau tidak, memiliki kekayaan bersih lebih dari Rs 500 crore akan mengkonversi membuka keseimbangan neraca mereka pada April 1, 2013. Perusahaan yang terdaftar memiliki kekayaan bersih sebesar Rs 500 crore atau kurang akan mengkonversi membuka keseimbangan neraca mereka pada April 1, 2014. Un-perusahaan yang terdaftar memiliki kekayaan bersih sebesar Rs 500 crore atau kurang akan terus menerapkan standar akuntansi yang ada, yang mungkin akan diubah dari waktu ke waktu. Transisi ke IFRS di fase adalah langkah yang cerdas. Biaya transisi untuk perusahaan kecil akan jauh lebih rendah karena perusahaan besar akan menanggung biaya awal pembelajaran dan perusahaan-perusahaan kecil tidak akan diminta untuk menemukan kembali roda. Namun, ini akan terjadi hanya jika sejumlah besar perusahaan besar terlibat akuntansi perusahaan India untuk menyediakan mereka dukungan dalam transisi mereka ke IFRS. Jika, perusahaan paling besar, yang akan sesuai dengan standar akuntansi yang konvergen dengan IFRS India dalam tahap pertama, memilih salah satu perusahaan internasional, perusahaan akuntansi India dan perusahaan-perusahaan kecil tidak akan mendapatkan keuntungan dari belajar dalam tahap pertama dari transisi ke IFRS. Sangat mungkin bahwa perusahaan internasional akan melindungi mereka belajar untuk mempertahankan keunggulan kompetitif mereka. Oleh karena itu, untuk kepentingan negara yang masing-masing perusahaan membuat pilihan bijaksana dari perusahaan akuntansi sebagai mitra tanpa membatasi pilihan untuk perusahaan akuntansi internasional. Perusahaan sektor publik harus memimpin dan Institute of Chartered Akuntan India (ICAI) harus mengembangkan strategi yang jelas untuk meredakan pembelajaran. Ukuran perusahaan pemerintah telah memutuskan untuk mengukur ukuran perusahaan dalam hal kekayaan bersih. Ini bukan unit yang ideal untuk mengukur ukuran perusahaan. Kekayaan bersih dalam neraca ditentukan oleh prinsip-prinsip akuntansi dan metode. Oleh karena itu, tidak termasuk nilai aktiva tidak berwujud. Selain itu, sebagai aset yang paling dan kewajiban diukur pada biaya historis, nilai bersih tidak mencerminkan nilai saat ini dari aset dan kewajiban. Kapitalisasi pasar adalah ukuran lebih dari ukuran perusahaan. Tetapi sulit untuk memperkirakan kapitalisasi pasar atau nilai fundamental perusahaan tidak terdaftar. Hal ini mungkin menjadi alasan bahwa pemerintah telah memutuskan untuk menggunakan 'kekayaan bersih' untuk mengukur ukuran perusahaan. Beberapa perusahaan, yang besar dalam hal nilai fundamental atau yang berniat untuk menarik modal asing, mungkin lebih memilih untuk menggunakan standar akuntansi yang konvergen dengan IFRS India lebih awal dari yang diperlukan di bawah peta jalan yang disajikan oleh pemerintah. Pemerintah harus menyediakan pilihan itu. Kesimpulan Pemerintah akan datang dengan peta jalan terpisah untuk perusahaan perbankan dan es dengan 28 Februari 2010. Mari kita berharap bahwa transisi dalam kasus perusahaan-perusahaan tidak akan ditunda lebih lanjut.[Sunting] Taiwan
