  • U.S. GAAP Vs. IFRS: Long-Lived Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
    U.S. GAAP vs. IFRS: Long-lived assets held for sale and discontinued operations Prepared by: Richard Stuart, Partner, National Professional Standards Group, RSM US LLP [email protected], +1 203 905 5027 July 2020 Introduction Currently, more than 120 countries require or permit the use of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), with a significant number of countries requiring IFRS (or some form of IFRS) by public entities (as defined by those specific countries). Of those countries that do not require use of IFRS by public entities, perhaps the most significant is the U.S. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires domestic registrants to apply U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), while foreign private issuers are allowed to use IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (which is the IFRS focused on in this comparison). While the SEC continues to discuss the possibility of allowing domestic registrants to provide supplemental financial information based on IFRS (with a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP), there does not appear to be a specified timeline for moving forward with that possibility. Although the SEC currently has no plans to permit the use of IFRS by domestic registrants, IFRS remains relevant to these entities, as well as private companies in the U.S., given the continued expansion of IFRS use across the globe. For example, many U.S. companies are part of multinational entities for which financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS, or may wish to compare themselves to such entities. Alternatively, a U.S. company’s business goals might include international expansion through organic growth or acquisitions.

In September 2002, the project was added to the IASB agenda. On 24 July 2003, the IASB issued the Exposure Draft ED 4 Disposal of Non-current Assets and Presentation of Discontinued Operations. Then on 31 March 2004 the IASB published IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. IFRS 5 arises from the IASB’s consideration of the FASB’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS 144) Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets with the objective of reducing differences between IFRS and US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) that are capable of resolution in a relatively short time. IFRS 5 achieves substantial convergence with the requirements of SFAS 144 with respect to the timing of the classification of operations as discontinued operations and the presentation of such operations.

  • IFRS 5 – Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations By: Brendan Doyle, BA (Hons) in Accounting, MBS Accounting, MA, H
    IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations By: Brendan Doyle, BA (Hons) in Accounting, MBS Accounting, MA, H. Dip. Ed. Examiner in Professional 1 Corporate Reporting This article is designed to clarify and illustrate the requirements of IFRS 5 in so far as they are examinable on the P1 Corporate Reporting paper. It will also be of interest to students of P2 Advanced Corporate Reporting. Introduction: There are two distinct parts to this IFRS. Both are related and can occur together, but each can also occur independently of the other. “Non-current assets held for sale” deals with the situation where an entity decides that a non-current asset (which by definition is held for continuing use in the business) is no longer to be held for continuing use. Rather it is to be sold. As this is an intention rather than an observable fact, strict controls are laid down by IFRS 5 to regulate when an asset is considered to be “held for sale” and also its accounting treatment. “Discontinued operations” arise when an entity decides to discontinue a part of its business. This part of IFRS 5 is concerned with separate disclosure of the results of operations deemed to be discontinued. It is possible to have a discontinued operation which has no assets held for sale. Similarly it is possible to have assets held for sale without discontinuing an operation. They can also occur together. Non-current assets held for sale: Recognition The core principle is that a non-current assets is deemed to be held for sale if its carrying value is expected to be recovered through selling it rather than using it.
