Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Accounting and Taxes, grade: 100, Argosy University, course: Contemporary Accounting Theory (B7630), language: English, abstract: The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) set out to complete their ambitious goal of convergence before the year of 2015. The author provides an outline of these efforts, emphasizing the importance and ramifications of International Accounting Standards (IAS) as a means to globally improve quality and clarity of financial reporting across financial sectors. An extensive review of pertinent literature is given, visualizing the two-pronged approach of converging global accounting standards while continuing to improve the US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP). As no significant agreement has been implemented since 2008, the main areas of interest to this date remain income tax, revenue recognition, leases, and financial instruments. The present work puts in perspective the roadmap by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), whilst assigning pivotal roles in the harmonization process to Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) and Chief Financial Officers (CFOs). The author offers a conceptual framework and strategies for the successful completion of the convergence project, adding special emphasis on business mergers and taking a strong position on the active involvement of major players and stakeholders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a set of accounting standards developed and maintained by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). They are designed to provide a common global language for financial reporting, ensuring that financial statements are comparable, transparent, and reliable across different jurisdictions and industries. Here's an overview of IFRS: Objective: The primary objective of IFRS is to provide a framework for the preparation and presentation of financial statements that provide useful information to users for making economic decisions. IFRS aims to enhance transparency, comparability, and reliability in financial reporting. Applicability: IFRS is used by many countries around the world as the basis for preparing financial statements of public companies. While some countries have adopted IFRS as their national accounting standards, others have converged their local standards with IFRS or permit the use of IFRS for listed companies. Additionally, multinational companies often use IFRS for their consolidated financial statements to ensure consistency across different jurisdictions. Principles-based Approach: IFRS adopts a principles-based approach to accounting standards, focusing on principles rather than detailed rules. This allows for flexibility in application and enables entities to provide relevant and reliable information that reflects the economic substance of transactions. Standard-setting Process: The IASB, an independent standard-setting body, is responsible for developing and issuing IFRS. The standard-setting process involves extensive consultation with stakeholders, including preparers, auditors, investors, regulators, and standard-setting bodies from different countries. The IASB also works closely with national standard-setters and accounting bodies to promote global convergence in financial reporting. Structure of IFRS: IFRS consists of a series of individual standards and interpretations, each addressing specific aspects of financial reporting. The main standards cover topics such as presentation of financial statements (IAS 1), revenue recognition (IFRS 15), leasing (IFRS 16), financial instruments (IFRS 9), and consolidation (IFRS 10). Additionally, there are interpretations (IFRIC) and framework documents that provide guidance on complex accounting issues. Continuous Development: IFRS is subject to continuous review and improvement to ensure its relevance and effectiveness in addressing emerging issues in financial reporting. The IASB regularly updates and issues new standards or amendments to existing standards in response to changes in business practices, economic environments, and regulatory requirements. Benefits of IFRS: The adoption of IFRS brings several benefits, including improved comparability of financial statements across jurisdictions, enhanced transparency and disclosure, increased investor confidence, and reduced costs for multinational companies operating in multiple jurisdictions. Overall, IFRS plays a crucial role in promoting high-quality financial reporting, facilitating global capital flows, and fostering economic growth and development by providing a common set of accounting standards that are recognized and accepted worldwide.

Download or read book International Convergence of Accounting Standards written by Sei-Ichi Kaneko and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this study is to identify key issues for convergence of Japanese and international accounting standards and to present constituents' views about these topics. We investigate the financial impact of requirements relating to fair value measurement, comprehensive income items, leases and business combinations in the financial statements of 50 large listed Japanese firms at 31 March 2005. This analysis provides the setting for our report of the views of Japanese preparers and users of financial statements about convergence of Japanese and international accounting standards, following convergence initiatives over the period 1997-2005. A survey of 974 members of the Securities Analysts Association of Japan indicated support for convergence and the use of fair value measurement, disclosure of comprehensive income, recognition of leases and use of the purchase method for consolidation. Our financial analysis of firms shows that these topics are relevant for many firms. We report support from both preparers and users for several positions favoured by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), a positive signal for achieving convergence goals in Japan.

Download or read book Globalisation of Accounting Standards written by Jayne Maree Godfrey and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Jayne Godfrey and Keryn Chalmers explore the intricacies of the globalisation of accounting standards - arguably one of the most significant business developments of the wider globalisation process during the past two decades. They examine the key issues and implications of this harmonization of accounting standards from the perspectives of a diverse range of worldwide stakeholders. "Globalisation of Accounting Standards" shows that globalisation approaches differ significantly because countries seek to maintain varying degrees of sovereignty over their regulations. International differences in economic, political, legal, religious and social characteristics also affect globalisation approaches and, in turn, influence national accounting standard-setting agendas. The book explores why countries relinquish their existing national accounting standard-setting regimes to join the global movement. It also seeks to resolve questions such as: To what extent are national incentives altruistic, economic, political or social? Who are the winners and losers in the process? This authoritative book is thoroughly researched and expertly informed. Written by both academics and regulators, it tackles a critical and controversial issue in the globalisation movement. As such, it will be of great interest to a wide-ranging audience including: international, national, private and public sector standard-setters, economic regulators, accounting academics and political economists and strategists.
