Yes you are right. Lets start with some basic things. I have small query. I can understand that 13 optional exemptions and 4 mandatory exceptions are provided under IFRS 1. But don't you think that optional exemptions will make the Financial Statements of different entitites uncomparable ?

This exemptions are available only in the first year.. because in this exemptions working is really tuff and cost will be more than the benefit

I have on e query regarding IAS 19-Employee benefits.

Because actuarial gains and losses may fluctuate and reverse over time, IAS 19 does not require immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses. Instead, an employer may choose to only recognize a portion of the actuarial gains and losses to the extent that the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous reporting period exceeded the greater of: (a) 10 percent of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at that date and (b) 10 percent of the fair value of any plan assets at that date (corridor mechanism).

What does THAT DATE actually refer to ?

Thanks a lot for replying. I just want to know that are you aware of any good book on IFRS which is available in the market (which has examples) ? I checked at ITO, Delhi around 2.5-3 months back and the only book which I was able to find was not very good. I dont rememmber the name of author or publisher but it had a "White Cover" in front.
