Book excerpt: International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), formerly known as International Accounting Standards (IAS), have received increasingly favorable attention in recent years, beginning with the endorsement by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) and then, especially, after the European Union mandated use of the IFRS by all EU Member States' publicly held companies, beginning in 2005. Thus, as over 7,000 companies in the twenty-five Member States prepare their consolidated financial statements in early 2006, they will be making a major, and possibly difficult, transition to the IFRS from various predecessor national GAAP standards. Other major nations, including Russia, China, and Australia are also transitioning to IFRS, and both the U.S. and U.K. standard setters are committed to a process of convergence with the IFRS. Thus, there is accelerating momentum toward worldwide embrace of these financial reporting standards-which a few short years ago were virtually unknown to most major reporting entities. IASC, predecessor of the current IASB, began its efforts about thirty years ago, and enjoyed modest success. Many of the national standards mandated by developing nations' standard setters already were either closely based on the IFRS or were direct endorsements of the international standards; now, with the most highly developed nations rushing to embrace the IFRS, there may soon be a truly worldwide set of financial reporting standards. Wiley IFRS 2006 is the compact yet truly comprehensive reference guide that accountants and auditors can rely upon as they gain an understanding of the intricacies of financial reporting under the IFRS. To facilitate this process, Wiley IFRS 2006 contains many real-world examples, illustrative key financial reporting and disclosure issues, a comprehensive disclosure checklist, an updated, detailed comparison between the IFRS and U.S. GAAP, and a thorough explanation of the special requirements of first-time adoption of IFRS reporting. All IFRS and related pronouncements through IFRS 7 are covered in elaborate detail, with interpretive guidance provided by seasoned practitioners with global experience in financial reporting. The up-to-date and exhaustively edited 2006 edition contains coverage of important and complex new requirements such as: * IFRS 1, First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards * IFRS 2, Share-Based Payment * IFRS 3, Business Combinations * IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts * IFRS 5, Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations * IFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources * IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures The 2006 edition continues detailed coverage of all previously issued IAS standards, including the recently revised financial instruments and hedge accounting standards IAS 32 and IAS 39. New for 2006 is a comprehensive treatment of present value concepts and computations, which are increasingly important given the ongoing incorporation of fair value into financial statement measurement requirements. Many new illustrative examples have been added to all chapters. Other complex areas receiving expansive coverage are: * IAS 2, Inventories * IAS 17, Accounting for Leases * IAS 18, Revenue * IAS 19, Employee Benefits * IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements * IAS 30, Disclosures in the Financial Statements of Banks and Similar Financial Institutions * IAS 36, Impairment of Assets * IAS 38, Intangible Assets * IAS 41, Agriculture

This book was released on 2009-11-09 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Accounting and Taxes, grade: 1,0, University of the West of England, Bristol (Bristol Business School), course: Corporate Reporting Theory and Practice, language: English, abstract: In this report the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) for Small and Medium-sized Entities (SMEs) is presented. It identifies that this new standard is required due to mainly smaller, non-listed companies prevailing. These entities currently use diverse national accounting standards and thus are not comparable. However, because of SMEs’ differing activities and stakeholders, existing IFRSs would not be appropriate so new standards are needed. The IFRSs for SMEs are based on initial, full IFRSs but were reduced, simplified and adjusted to reduce the reporting burden that many small companies would suffer. All companies addressed are not publicly accountable, provide general purpose statements and approximately contain 50 employees. Which firms in detail will apply to these new standards is finalised by national jurisdictions. Nonetheless, there can be found some disadvantages. E.g. immense simplifications can result in insufficiently explained standards that can hardly be employed adequately. Furthermore, four accounting events are revealed: goodwill impairment, cost method for associates, finance leases and research and development expenditures. All these show up differences compared to full IFRSs. The preparation of financial reports is facilitated and user interests are taken into consideration. However, alternatives can be suggested that perhaps are more appropriate for SMEs. Finally, it is concluded that the IFRS for SMEs are well developed including advantageous adjustments that try to satisfy SMEs’ as well as their reports users’ needs. However, it becomes apparent that some revisions could be necessary to consequently truthfully allow the vast amount of smaller companies become globally comparable.
