It therefore is highly likely to be adopted early. 3 Includes ‘Amendments to IFRS 17’ issued in June 2020. 4 Entities that early adopt IFRS 17 must apply IFRS 9 before or on the same date. 2 Navigating the changes to IFRS – 2021 Edition Effective from 1 January 2019 The Standards mentioned on pages 4 to 16 are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Standards are: • IFRS 16 Leases • Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation (Amendments to IFRS 9) • Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures (Amendments to IAS 28) • IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments • Annual Improvements to IFRS 2015-2017 Cycle • Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement (Amendments to IAS 19) Navigating the changes to IFRS – 2021 Edition 3 IFRS 16 Leases IFRS 16 is the result of the IASB’s long-running project to IFRS 16 also: overhaul lease accounting, representing the first major change • changes the definition of a lease to lease accounting in over 30 years. The new Standard • sets requirements on how to account for the asset and replaces IAS 17 ‘Leases’ along with three Interpretations liability, including complexities such as non-lease elements, (IFRIC 4 ‘Determining whether an Arrangement contains variable lease payments and option periods a Lease’, SIC 15 ‘Operating Leases-Incentives’ and SIC 27 • changes the accounting for sale and leaseback ‘Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal arrangements Form of a Lease’). • largely retains IAS 17’s approach to lessor accounting • introduces new disclosure requirements. IFRS 16 will require lessees to account for leases ‘on-balance sheet’ by recognising a ‘right-of-use’ asset and a lease liability. The table summarises the main changes at a glance: For many businesses, however, exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low value assets will greatly reduce the impact.

    Changes in Accounting Estimates—Disclosures

    Agenda ref 25B April 2016 STAFF PAPER REG IASB Meeting Review of IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Project Accounting Estimates and Errors Paper topic Changes in accounting estimates: disclosure CONTACT(S) Nadia Chebotareva [email protected] +44 (0) 20 7246 6457 Leonardo Piombino [email protected] +39 06 6976 6834 This paper has been prepared for discussion at a public meeting by the staff of the International Accounting Standards Board® (‘the Board’) and the OIC staff. It does not represent the views of the Board or the OIC or any individual member of the Board or the OIC. Comments on the application of IFRS® Standards do not purport to set out acceptable or unacceptable application of IFRS Standards. Technical decisions are made in public and reported in IASB Update. Background and purpose of the paper 1. As described in Agenda Paper 25A, in September 2014 the Board tentatively decided that the issue of distinguishing between a change in an accounting policy and a change in an accounting estimate, and any applicable thresholds for making changes and disclosures, should be considered as part of the Disclosure Initiative.1 The Board started its discussion of whether to add to IAS 8 any disclosure requirements for changes in accounting estimates in May 2015. 2. The purpose of this paper is to: (a) recommend not adding any new disclosure requirements to IAS 8 for changes in accounting estimates; and (b) recommend not doing any further work on the disclosure requirements for changes in accounting estimates in IFRS Standards. 3. The rest of this paper discusses: (a) Existing disclosure requirements for changes in accounting policies and accounting estimates—paragraphs 5-8 (b) Recommendation in May 2015—paragraphs 9-13 (c) Current recommendation—paragraphs 14-17 (d) Review of disclosure requirements in IFRS Standards—paragraphs 18-22.

    IFRS 9, Financial Instruments Understanding the Basics Introduction

    www.pwc.com/ifrs9 IFRS 9, Financial Instruments Understanding the basics Introduction Revenue isn’t the only new IFRS to worry about for 2018—there is IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, to consider as well. Contrary to widespread belief, IFRS 9 affects more than just financial institutions. Any entity could have significant changes to its financial reporting as the result of this standard. That is certain to be the case for those with long-term loans, equity investments, or any non- vanilla financial assets. It might even be the case for those only holding short- term receivables. It all depends. Possible consequences of IFRS 9 include: • More income statement volatility. IFRS 9 raises the risk that more assets will have to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit and loss as they arise. • Earlier recognition of impairment losses on receivables and loans, including trade receivables. Entities will have to start providing for possible future credit losses in the very first reporting period a loan goes on the books – even if it is highly likely that the asset will be fully collectible. • Significant new disclosure requirements—the more significantly impacted may need new systems and processes to collect the necessary data. IFRS 9 also includes significant new hedging requirements, which we address in a separate publication – Practical guide – General hedge accounting. With careful planning, the changes that IFRS 9 introduces might provide a great opportunity for balance sheet optimization, or enhanced efficiency of the reporting process and cost savings. Left too long, they could lead to some nasty surprises.

Our detailed guide covers the requirements of the new Standard, supplemented by interpretations and examples to give clarity to those requirements, and pointers regarding practical issues that are likely to arise. In the appendices, we provide: • a summary of the important illustrative examples accompanying IFRS 16 dealing with the identification of leases; • convenient checklists for IFRS 16’s presentation and disclosure requirements (separately for lessees and lessors); and • a brief comparison with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP).
  • IAS 39 Appendix a Application Guidance

    IAS 39 Appendix a Application Guidance

    IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement Appendix A Application guidance This appendix is an integral part of the Standard. Scope (paragraphs 2–7) AG1 Some contracts require a payment based on climatic, geological or other physical variables. (Those based on climatic variables are sometimes referred to as ‘weather derivatives’.) If those contracts are not within the scope of IFRS 4, they are within the scope of this Standard. AG2 This Standard does not change the requirements relating to employee benefit plans that comply with IAS 26 Accounting and Reporting by Retirement Benefit Plans and royalty agreements based on the volume of sales or service revenues that are accounted for under IAS 18. AG3 Sometimes, an entity makes what it views as a ‘strategic investment’ in equity instruments issued by another entity, with the intention of establishing or maintaining a long-term operating relationship with the entity in which the investment is made. The investor or joint venturer entity uses IAS 28 to determine whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate for such an investment. If the equity method is not appropriate, the entity applies this Standard to that strategic investment. AG3A This Standard applies to the financial assets and financial liabilities of insurers, other than rights and obligations that paragraph 2(e) excludes because they arise under contracts within the scope of IFRS 4. AG4 Financial guarantee contracts may have various legal forms, such as a guarantee, some types of letter of credit, a credit default contract or an insurance contract. Their accounting treatment does not depend on their legal form.

  • Fair Value Accounting in Times of Financial Crisis

    Fair Value Accounting in Times of Financial Crisis

    ACRN Journal of Finance and Risk Perspectives Vol. 1, Issue 1, p. 67-90, Oct. 2012 ISSN 2305-7394 FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING IN TIMES OF FINANCIAL CRISIS Natascha Jarolim1 and Carina Öppinger2 1,2 Department of Accounting and Auditing, Johannes Kepler University, Austria Abstract. Fair value accounting is an essential feature of International Financial Reporting Standards. Even though this accounting method did not spark the financial crisis, it did enhance its impact. As a consequence of the financial crisis the IASB amended IAS 39 to override the fair value recognition. The amendments to IAS 39 & IFRS 7 permitted reclassifications of the categories Held for Trading and Available for Sale, some of which had explicitly been forbidden prior to the amendment. Critics argue that these modifications to IAS 39 made it possible to camouflage losses of hundreds of billions of euros. The main goal of this paper is to evaluate the amendment to IAS 39 & IFRS 7 by conducting a survey of the banking sector. Furthermore fair value accounting in general is critically discussed. Keywords: amendment, banking sector, fair value, financial assets, financial crisis, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, OCI, reclassification. Introduction In the aftermath of the financial crisis in 2008 increased criticism was made of fair value measurement of financial instruments in accordance with IAS 39. Due to the inactivity of the markets it was almost impossible to perform a reliable market valuation. In addition to the valuation issue, the increased depreciation posed an even greater problem. These circumstances made it necessary for the IASB and the EU to take urgent measures.

    IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment 2017 - 07 1

    ACCOUNTING SUMMARY 2017 - 07 IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment Objective The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting treatment for property, plant and equipment so that users of the financial statements can discern information about an entity’s investment in its property, plant and equipment and the changes in such investment. The principal issues in accounting for property, plant and equipment are the recognition of the assets, the determination of their carrying amounts and the depreciation charges and impairment losses to be recognised in relation to them. Scope This Standard shall be applied in accounting for property, plant and equipment except when another Standard requires or permits a different accounting treatment. This Standard does not apply to: (a) property, plant and equipment classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. (b) biological assets related to agricultural activity other than bearer plants (see IAS 41 Agriculture). This Standard applies to bearer plants but it does not apply to the produce on bearer plants. (c) the recognition and measurement of exploration and evaluation assets (see IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources). (d) mineral rights and mineral reserves such as oil, natural gas and similar non-regenerative resources. However, this Standard applies to property, plant and equipment used to develop or maintain the assets described in (b)–(d). An entity using the cost model for investment property in accordance with IAS 40 Investment Property shall use the cost model in this Standard for owned investment property.
