I want to add some thing that Adoption of IFRS is really a tuff task for every one because lots of things will change but good thing is that we got lots of exemptions too like there is 14 optional exemptions and 4 mandatory, If will not adopt this exemptions our life becomes like a hell. So i suggest read abt IFRS-1 and start discussing. In IFRS-1 we will get a good flavour of IFRS too

Hi Amit,

It's really very good to have discussion and sharing knowledge about the hot topic like IFRS.

Could you suggest about IFRS complied Chart of Account? I beleive there must some addition to the Conventional Chart of Account we used in Indian GAAP.

Any reference book you would like to suggest which could be useful in learning.

My email ID is rajeev.ranjan @ shahi.co.in, raranjan17 @ gmail.com.

Thank you,

Dear All,

I'll say one shall start with detailed differencesin Indian GAAP's and IFRS. This will certainely help in building strong conceptual base. Alongwith one could also read concept paper issued by ICAI on convergence. Moreover most of second generation AS are almost similar to IFRS / IAS. So why not first study AS-15,30,31,32.

As far as resources sre considered you may mail me at princeicai @ yahoo.com, i hope i can provide u with something useful to start with

Dear Rajeev,

Why dont you visit Satyams site. It was the first IFRS compliamnt company in India. You can get IFRS compliant statements in its SEC section.

An advantage will be that u'll get accounts charted as per Indian GAAP's for the same period.

Statement of Changes in shareholders’ equity (SOCE)
 
n      The statement shows :
n      Capital transaction with the owners
n      Movement in accumulated profit and a reconciliation of all other components of equity
n      The total of income and expenses for the period, showing separately the amounts attributable to equity holders of the parent and to minority interest and the effect of changes in the accounting policies, prior period items, fair value gain /losses on land and building, Mark to market gain/(losses) on investment and certain financial instruments etc. (SORIE)
n      An enterprise cannot present both SORIE and SOCE as primary statement

Some Differences between IFRS and AS
 
v     Dividends
Ø      Dividends are classified as a financial liability and are reported in the income statement as an expense. If dividends are declared subsequent to the balance sheet date, it is not recognised as liability. (IFRS)
Ø      Dividends are reflected in the financial statements of the year to which they relate even if proposed after the year end. (Indian GAAP)
v     Share Issue Expenses
Ø      In Indian GAAP may be accounted as deferred expenses and amortized.
Ø      Has to be charged off immediately to P & L. (IFRS)
v      Investment and marketable securities
Ø      Only unrealized losses on available for sale securities is recognized in the income statement.
Ø      Option to recognize gain/ (losses) in AFS either through Income statement or equity. (IFRS)
Ø      Negative Goodwill (i.e, the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the aggregate purchase consideration)
Ø      Negative goodwill that relates to expectation of future losses and expenses should be recognized as income when the future losses and expenses are recognized. Where it does not relate to identifiable future losses and expenses, an amount not exceeding the fair values of the acquired identifiable non – monetary assets should be recognized as income. (IFRS)
Ø      Negative goodwill is credited to the capital reserve account. (Indian GAAP)
v     Prior period adjustments
Ø      Separately disclosed in the current statement of P & L together with their nature and amount.
Ø      If the error is significant, is corrected by adjusting the opening retained earnings. (IFRS)

I have a different view as far as prior period adjustments are considered.  Although Indian GAAP's are limited to disclosure requirements in the P/L a/c ; IFRS requires to restate earliest comparatives in case of prior period item and not only retained earnibngs of the current year.
