This book was released on 2007 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) is currently working on a project to develop accounting standards suitable for entities that (a) do not have public accountability and (b) publish general purpose financial statements for external users.This article presents the current status of IASB activity on this new direction of financial reporting. Our study has as key objectives to review the extant of academic literature and to analyze, based on the questionnaire conducted by IASB, the impact of a set of new IFRSs for small and medium entities (SMEs) on practitioners and on professional organizations.The literature review unearthed a variety of prior studies on SMEs. Currently, in most jurisdictions SMEs are subject to relaxed regulation as determined at the national level, taking on board specific economic and local conditions. However, the increasing significance of SMEs in the global economy, the burden/inapplicability of full International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the potent arguments in favour of differential reporting have drawn the attention of international regulators and given rise to the proposed new regulatory regimes for SMEs. We briefly present the content of IASB recent SME exposure draft and, as conclusion we comment the answers received at the questionnaire conducted and their influence on the requirements of the new SME reporting standards.

Download or read book International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium sized Entities written by David Wagener and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2008-08-21 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Accounting and Taxes, grade: 1,3, University of the West of England, Bristol (Bristol Business School (University of the West of England)), course: Externes Rechnungswesen/ Corporate Reporting, language: English, abstract: The Exposure Draft of an IFRS for SMEs published in February 2007 is supposed to enhance the comparability between worldwide SMEs, and therefore meet the user needs, by concentrating on regulations that play a role for SMEs. Furthermore it is expected to reduce the financial reporting burden of the preparers, reporting SMEs without public accountability, of the financial statements. Another benefit, in case of widespread application of the standard, is expected to be the falling costs of capital of SMEs. This is because the allocation and pricing of capital is easier with a higher comparability of the financial statements of SMEs. Major issues of change were the impairment of goodwill, the cost method for associated companies, finance leases as well as the expense of research and development costs. Goodwill is unlike in full IFRSs, tested for impairment losses on indication and impaired only to the fair value. This reduces the workload spent on annual impairment testing but may lead to dilutions of expenses. Associated companies can, also in the consolidated statements, be accounted for with the cost method and the fair value model through profit or loss, which are much easier than the equity method. However, since intra-company transactions are not cancelled out, the new regulations might lead to higher profits. The accounting of finance leases changed in two respects: The regulations of lessor accounting was totally left out of the standard and has to be looked up in full IFRSs. The lessee accounting was simplified by allowing the preparers of the financial statement to determine the cost of the lease by only calculating the fair value of the leased property. This also leads to smaller expenses over the total lease period. When it comes to the research and development expenditure only minor changes were introduced. The IASB decided for providing SMEs with a choice in accounting treatment between expending both research and development cost or, on the other hand, to capitalize the development cost if certain criteria are met. Although it means a further simplification it has to be doubted that many entities decide against the possibility to capitalize the development cost but to expense them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business reporting in a post-apocalypse global marketplace Clearly, now is the time for creating an effective business-reporting model appropriate for the markets of the twenty-first century. Rather than start from scratch after the Enron-Andersen fiasco, two leading consultants from PricewaterhouseCoopers present a plan that supplements the current model, one in which executives, accountants, analysts, investors, regulators, and other stakeholders can truly embrace the spirit of transparency. The Future of Corporate Reporting highlights the best practices for global financial reporting, explaining the concept of "performance auditing," which focuses on the real performance of the business as opposed to technical adherence to GAAS. Eccles and Masterson also discuss the pros and cons of GAAP v. IAS, present new approaches to reforming financial reporting, and outline a twenty-first-century model of accounting that will improve markets and benefit shareholders.
