An Overview of International Financial Reporting Standards

Standards. International Accounting Standards (IASs) were issued by the IASC from 1973 to 2000. The IASB replaced the IASC in 2001. Since then, the IASB has amended some IASs and has proposed to amend others, has replaced some IASs with new International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), and has adopted or proposed certain new IFRSs on topics for which there was no previous IAS. Through committees, both the IASC and the IASB also have issued Interpretations of Standards.
Compliance with Standards. Financial statements may not be described as complying with IFRSs unless they comply with all of the requirements of each applicable standard and each applicable interpretation. .
IASB Framework. While not a standard, the IASB Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements serves as a guide to resolving accounting issues that are not addressed directly in a standard. Moreover, in the absence of a standard or an interpretation that specifically applies to a transaction, IAS 8 requires that an entity must use its judgement in developing and applying an accounting policy that results in information that is relevant and reliable. In making that judgement, IAS 8.11 requires management to consider the definitions, recognition criteria and measurement concepts for assets, liabilities, income, and expenses in the Framework. The IASB adopted the Framework in April 2001. It had originally been adopted by the IASC in 1989. Currently, the IASB is working on a Project to Revise the Framework.
The term 'IFRSs'. The term International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) has both a narrow and a broad meaning. Narrowly, IFRSs refers to the new numbered series of pronouncements that the IASB is issuing, as distinct from the International Accounting Standards (IASs) series issued by its predecessor. More broadly, IFRSs refers to the entire body of IASB pronouncements, including standards and interpretations approved by the IASB and IASs and SIC interpretations approved by the predecessor International Accounting Standards Committee. [On this website, consistent with IASB policy, we abbreviate International Financial Reporting Standards (plural) as IFRSs and International Accounting Standards (plural) as IASs.]

Hey Madhu,

When you are transaction with any one in third Currency than that derivative is knows as embeded Derivative i.e India and Australia is dealing in USD. For india local currency is Ruppes and for australia Local currency is australian Dollar and USD is not a currency of both the countries thats why this derivate is knows as Embedded derivative

Best Regards

Amit Daga

As per AS-30 and IAS 39 an embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid (combined) instrument that also includes a non-derivative host contract—with the effect that some of the cash flows of the combined instrument vary in a way similar to a stand-alone derivative.

Eg say there is loan of Rs. 1 crore given to a company @ 5% p.a. which is below the market yield. There is a clause in loan agreement that company shall issue 0.5% of loan to equity shares @ 35% of market price apart from interest and loan repayment at the option of bank.

This option may qualify as embedded derivative in host contract.

As per me FCCB with conversion option may qualify as Embedded contract.

Any comments will be appreciated
