Download or read book Accounting under Ind AS An Illustrative Manual 3e written by Santosh Maller and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 2195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book Ind AS transition has resulted in high-quality, principles-based, globally comparable financial reporting of large Indian companies. The transition not only impacted the financial results of companies, but also caused far reaching consequential business impact. Since last two years, there have been several changes in Ind AS for example, amendments in the revenue recognition standard and new leases standard has drastically changed the performance reporting in the balance sheet composition of companies. Further, certain Ind AS principles are implicitly complex, for example, the accounting for financial instruments, acquisitions and business combinations are quite nuanced and can get difficult to apply without proper understanding. Towards this end, this book attempts to provide insights and in-depth analysis on interpretative issues and complex principles in the Ind AS standards. Ind AS contains extensive presentation and disclosure requirements. The relevant chapters extensively deal with these requirements with illustrative examples. To simplify the reading experience, the chapters include a brief, easy to understand, summary of the relevant standard, followed by Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the chapter. Coronavirus (COVID-19) has also resulted in widespread economic uncertainty and disruption of businesses. There have been far reaching implications on financial reporting. These circumstances would potentially present entities with several challenges when preparing their financial statements. The book covers some of the key financial reporting implications by way of FAQs in related chapters that companies need to consider along with the possible approaches that they may consider to dealing with the same keeping in view the business objectives, financial covenants and the accounting standards. This book is intended to help the companies to identify Ind AS requirements that are relevant to them and evaluate various accounting policy choices available under Ind AS. The disclosure related issues would be useful to benchmark with the Ind AS/IFRS disclosures of major companies. Currently, there is limited literature of the Ind AS application issues. This book endeavors to provide guidance on these issues.

This book was released on 2023-02-17 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the introduction of the Companies Act, 2013 in the year 2014, the compliance burden of every Company has increased substantially irrespective of the nature of the company, be it a Private Limited Company, Public Limited Company, Listed Company, Small Company, Section-8 Company or a One Person Company (OPC). In order to increase transparency in reporting, the MCA and SEBI frequently come out with new amendments by way of circulars and notifications. Companies must adhere to all the applicable compliances within the specified due dates. Any non-compliance on the part of companies often results in heavy penalties. It is a good practice to keep track of the relevant compliances as per the applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013/SEBI, as the case may be. Under the Companies Act, 2013, there are various compliances to be done on a time-to-time basis. For a better understanding of the same, we have categorized the various Compliances on the following basis: (a) Event-based compliances: Compliance to be done on the occurrence or happening of a certain event, like Filing of E- form INC-22 on shifting of Registered Office of the Company. (b) Time-based compliance: Compliances are to be done on an annual, half-yearly, and quarterly basis, like the Filing of E-form AOC-4 and MGT-7. (c) Specific Criteria-based Compliance: Some compliances are based on paid-up share capital, turnover or any other specific requirement like the requirement to file E-Form AOC-4 (XBRL), Appointment of Company Secretary, etc. In addition to the above-mentioned compliances, a listed company is also required to make various Quarterly, half-yearly, and event-based compliances and disclosures under the following regulations: (a) SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations 2015. (b) Compliances under SEBI (Depositories and Participants) Regulations, 2018 (c) Compliances under SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011 (d) Compliances under SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015 This Compliance Calendar has been bifurcated into the following parts: 1. Compliances applicable to Unlisted Public Companies. 2. Compliances applicable to Private Limited Companies. 3. Compliances applicable to Section-8 Companies. 4. Compliances applicable to One-Person Companies (OPC). 5. Compliance applicable to Listed Companies. 6. Compliances applicable on the basis of a certain threshold limit.
