  5. Introduction to IFRS WHY IFRS ? India is one of the over 100 countries that have or are moving towards IFRS ( International Financial Reporting Standards) convergence with a view to bringing about a uniformity in reporting systems globally, enabling businesses, finances and funds to access more opportunities. Indian companies are listed on overseas stock exchanges and have to recast their accounts to be compliant with GAAP requirements of those countries. Foreign companies having subsidiaries in India are having to recast their accounts to meet Indian & overseas reporting requirements which are different. Foreign Direct Investors (FDI), overseas financial institutional investors (FII) are more comfortable with compatible accounting standards and companies accessing overseas funds feel the need for recast of accounts in keeping with globally accepted standards. ICAI has decided to implement IFRS in India. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has also announced its commitment to convergence to IFRS by 2011.

  6. Introduction to IFRS IFRS To WHOM APPLICABLE ? Compliance with IFRS in India is restricted to ‘Public Entities’ which include those companies & entities listed on any stock exchange or have raised money from the public, or have a substantial public interest, or public sector companies. IFRS in India would cover the following public interest entities in the first phase. Listed companies Banks, insurance companies, mutual funds, and financial institutions Turnover in preceding year > INR 1 billion Borrowing in preceding year > INR 250 million Holding or subsidiary of the above IFRS is not applicable to SME’s as of now

  7. Introduction to IFRS WHEN IFRS ? IFRS for public entities in India is applicable from 01/04/2011. The opening IFRS balance sheet at the date of transition to IFRS – 01/04/2010, which is the start date for full comparative information presentation in IFRS IMPACT OF IFRS IFRS implementation affects several areas of the business entity, such as presentation of accounts, the accounting policies and procedures, the way legal documents are drafted, the way the entity looks at its assets and their usage, as well as the its communications with its stakeholders and also the way it conducts its business. This fundamental and pervasive nature of impact of IFRS, makes it imperative that sufficient planning and thought is given to this aspect and choices made at the transition stage itself, as they determine the effect on the company and its operations. A detailed analysis of all aspects of impact and change as well as all legal documentation and communication becomes necessary.

  14. Introduction to IFRS • 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 an accounting • 'balance sheet' will become 'statement of financial position' • 'income statement' will become 'statement of comprehensive income' • 'cash flow statement' will become 'statement of cash flows'. • The revised IAS 1 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. Early adoption is permitted.

  15. First Time Adoption of IFRS IFRS 1  requires an entity to comply with each IFRS  effective at the reporting date for its first IFRS  financial statements. In particular, the IFRS  requires an entity to do the following in the opening IFRS  balance sheet that it prepares as a starting point for its accounting under IFRSs: Recognize all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by IFRSs; Do not recognize items as assets or liabilities if IFRSs do not permit such recognition; Reclassify items that it recognized under previous GAAP as one type of asset, liability or component of equity, which are different type of asset, liability or component of equity under IFRSs; and Apply IFRSs in measuring all recognized assets and liabilities.
