This book was released on 2022-05-25 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Accounting and Taxes, grade: 88%, Manchester Metropolitan University Business School, course: Corporate Reporting, language: English, abstract: The International Financial Reporting Standard 15 (IFRS 15) - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, announced in May 2014 by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), has widely changed the way how companies recognise, measure and disclose revenues. This article investigates the question of whether the objectives to eliminate inconsistencies, improve comparability and increase revenue levels were achieved in practice. The aim is to synthesize previous research on the various effects of the IFRS 15 implementation, specifically the accounting and information effects, and provide empirical evidence for the impact on financial statements. As available literature has identified the effects for the Retail sector only superficially without any quantification, this article aims to bridge current knowledge gaps by focusing on Retail companies. To carry out this research, the author has selected four multinational Retail companies to review qualitative and quantitative information on the IFRS 15 implementation from their annual reports to determine possible accounting and information effects. Results show that IFRS 15 had no significant but slightly positive impact on the financial figures of the selected companies, leading to the conclusion that the persued goal to improve revenue levels turned effective in the Retail sector.

Download or read book Ifrs 15 written by Leo Lehr and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Companies are required to implement a new accounting standard in January 2018 - the IFRS 15 standard for revenue from contracts with customers. In the process, they have the unique chance to do more than just fulfill a regulation: The implementation is an opportunity to critically assess processes for revenue accounting and improve inefficient "business-as-usual" processes. When the standard is implemented together with process improvements and powerful software, your company can gain a competitive advantage and significantly lower the cost of becoming compliant. Those companies that drag their feet and have to comply on a manual basis each month after January 2018 will be at a disadvantage, due to the high cost of manually reconciling accounts and creating reports. In this book, you will learn the regulatory background of IFRS 15 and how to best meet the challenges associated with implementation, based on examples from the telecommunications and software industries. "IFRS 15: Revenue from contracts with customers, with SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting" prepares organizations for the impact of the standard on processes throughout the company that are related to revenue recognition. The authors explore: - How the most important IFRS 15 framework, the 5-step model, works - How different areas of your company will be affected by IFRS 15 - How IFRS 15 implementation works with the solution from one vendor, SAP's Revenue Accounting and Reporting (SAP RAR) module.

Download or read book Company Valuation Under IFRS 2e written by Nick Antill and published by Harriman House Limited. This book was released on 2008 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are now mandatory in many parts of the world, including Europe, Australia and China. In addition, many countries are in the process of IFRS adoption. Lastly, foreign registrants in US companies no longer have to undertake a costly US-IFRS reconciliation. Therefore, it is clear that investors, analysts and valuers need to understand financial statements produced under IFRS to feed in to their valuations and broader investment decisions. Written by practitioners for practitioners, the book addresses valuation from the viewpoint of the analyst, the investor and the corporate acquirer. It starts with valuation theory: what is to be discounted and at what discount rate? It explains the connection between standard methodologies based on free cash flow and on return on capital. And it emphasizes that, whichever method is used, accurate interpretation of accounting information is critical to the production of sensible valuations. The authors argue that forecasts of cash flows imply views on profits and balance sheets, and that non-cash items contain useful information about future cash flows - so profits matter. The book then addresses the implications for analysis and valuation of key aspects of IFRS including: - Pensions - Stock options - Derivatives - Provisions - Leases The text also sets out which countries use GAAP, as well as the key differences between IFRS and US GAAP treatments of these issues, in addition to their implications for analysis. A detailed case study is used to provide a step-by-step valuation of an industrial company using both free cash flow and economic profit methodologies. The authors then address a range of common valuation problems, including cyclical or immature companies, as well as the specialist accounting and modelling knowledge required for regulated utilities, resource extraction companies, banks, insurance and real estate companies. Accounting for mergers and disposals is first explained and then illustrated with a detailed potential acquisition using real companies.
