REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS)

Presented By,

INTRODUCTION
IFRS is an accounting framework that
establishes recognition, measurement, presentation
and disclosure requirements relating to transactions
and events that are reflected in the financial
statements. IFRS was developed in the year 2001
by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB).
NEED OF IFRS
 To make a common platform for better
understanding of accounting, internationally.
 Synchronization of accounting standards across
the globe. 
 To create comparable, reliable, and transparent
financial statements.
 To facilitate greater cross-border capital raising and
trade.
 To have company-wide one accounting language.
IFRSS – APPROACH FOLLOWED
 IFRSs are principle-based standards.
 The principle-based standards are those
where the transactions can not be
manipulated easily to achieve a particular
accounting.
 The Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB), USA, is adopting principle-based
approach with IASB.
IFRSS – APPROACH FOLLOWED
(CONTD..)

 IFRSs lay down treatments based on the


economic substance of various events and
transactions rather than their legal form.

 The application of this approach may result


into events and transactions being
presented in a manner different from their
legal form.
SUGGESTIVE GUIDELINES
 Understanding and analyzing the impact of IFRS on
financial performance
 Obtaining the new data required and adapting
systems to provide it
 Finding the resources and expertise needed to
make the changes
 Meeting employee training and knowledge sharing
needs
 Aligning systems for reporting for statutory,
regulatory and internal purposes
 Gaining shareholder and analyst understanding of
the impact of changing to IFRS.
IFRS AND INDIAN
CORPORATES
 The use of international financial reporting standards (IFRS)
as a universal financial reporting language is gaining
momentum across the globe.
 The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has
recently released a concept paper on Convergence with IFRS
in India, detailing the strategy for adoption of IFRS in India
with effect from April 1, 2011. This has been strengthened by
a recent announcement from the Ministry Of Corporate Affairs
(MCA) confirming the agenda for convergence with IFRS in
India by 2011.
 Adopting IFRS by Indian corporates is going to be very
challenging but at the same time could also be rewarding.
Indian corporates are likely to reap significant benefits from
adopting IFRS.
BENEFITS OF IFRS ON
INDIAN CORPORATES
There are likely to be several benefits to corporates in the Indian
context as well. These are:
 Improvement in comparability of financial information and
financial performance with global peers and industry
standards .
 Adoption of IFRS is expected to result in better quality of
financial reporting due to consistent application of accounting
principles and improvement in reliability of financial
statements.
 Better access to and reduction in the cost of capital raised
from global capital market since IFRS are now accepted as a
financial reporting framework for companies seeking to raise
funds from most capital markets across the globe.
IMPACT OF IFRS ON OIL & GAS
INDUSTRY
Areas of Potential Change

changes in the systems and in the updation of the
existing to the newer version of IFRS enabled

FIVE CONSIDERATION
UNDER
IFRS
 IFRS is an accounting-driven but it can drive major changes
to IT systems as well as business processes and personnel.
 Experience indicates that IT costs generally constitute more
than 50 percent of IFRS conversion costs.
 Organizations benefit when they identify and integrate the
efforts of the IT team early in the IFRS conversion process.
 IT efforts will comprise a mix of short- and long-term projects
within the organization’s overall IFRS initiative.
 The IFRS conversion effort provides opportunities for
achieving synergies with other IT projects and strategic
initiatives.
IFRS:IMPACT ON INDIAN
BANK
 The financial impact of convergence with IFRS (International
Finance Reporting System) will be significant for banks in
India, particularly in areas relating to loan loss provisioning,
financial instruments and derivative accounting according to
auditing and consultancy firm KPMG.
 IFRS: Developing a roadmap to convergence for the Indian
banking industry’, mentions how this is likely to impact
financial performance, directly affecting capital adequacy
ratios and the outcomes of valuation metrics that analysts use
to measure and evaluate performance.
 In banking companies, financial reporting policies for provision
for loan losses and investments are specified by the RBI.
TYPES OF IFRS
IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of IFRS
IFRS 2 Share-based Payment
IFRS 3 Business Combinations
IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts
IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and
Discontinued Operations
IFRS 6 Exploration for and evaluation of Mineral
Resources
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
IFRS 8 Operating Segments
GENERAL DIFFERENCES
 IFRS provides much less overall detail than GAAP
 IFRS contains relatively little industry-specific
instructions as compared to GAAP.
 IFRS use a single-step method for impairment
write-downs rather than the two-step method used
in U.S. GAAP
 IFRS does not permit Last In First Out (LIFO).
DISADVANTAGES
 U.S. issuers without significant customers or
operations outside the United States may resist
IFRS because they may not have a market
incentive to prepare IFRS financial statements.
 Many people also believe that U.S. GAAP is the
gold standard, and that something will be lost with
full acceptance of IFRS.
