Hi all,
A non-profit organisation based in Virginia, USA was donated part of
real estate’s value.Currently the real estate is being adminstered by
an agent.I would appreciate if any one could hint me what both IFRS
and USGAAP recommends for treating such transaction.
Thank you
Aklilu

Hi,
When you say value, I assume a cash donation was made to buy the
property. Is the property been transferred in the name of this
organization. If it has, this means that risks and rewards of
ownership have been trasferred.
I would assume, IAS 20, Grant accounting rules will need to be followed.
The amount of …

All,
We are constucting a new building in our factory for which we of
course capitalize all the costs involved. However to build the new
building we had to tare down the old building that still had some book
value. Does anyone know if we would be able to capitalize the
bookvalue of the old building as part of the costs to construct the
new building or do we need to take the old book value directly to P&L?
Best regards,
John

You can capitalize demolition costs themselves, but need to write-down
the Book Value of old building, because its …

Is there any guideline for measurement of loan impairment and recognition of interest income by using effective rate method

Asim

well Esther the UK leads the path i.e. the UK tax authorities are the only ones in Europe which accept IFRS reporting to the extent that its website http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/ does have a section allocated to differences between IFRS and UK GAAP
I wish in Germany they had the same thing!!!!!

Asim
 
Below is the list of applicable paragraphs from IAS 39 for measurement of loan impairment:
 

                 Financial assets carried at amortized cost

Hi all,

We need some guidance in connection to apply the rules explained in IAS 21 related to if investments AFS in capital instruments is a non-monetary item. 
Theses equity investments were made without the intention of take control on any company, just receipt the dividends and sale it in a high level.
Thanks

 
 
Roberto

 
The standard applicable to AFS is IAS 39 even if the investment is in a currency other than your own reporting currency.
Despite the managerial intention, if the percentage of interest owned, directly or indirectly, by your company is …

What are the diferences between the two accounting policies?

IAS was in use before the introduction of IFRS. With effect from the introduction of IFRS, only IAS before the introduction of IFRS is stil in use. Any other international standard that will be issued will now be IFRS but not IAS.
 
Femi

In my view except the change in nomenaclature there is no much difference in the basic strategy of the standardization process. Ofcourse prior to 2001 (1973-2001) IAS International Accounting Standards were used to be issued by the IASC (International Accounting Standards Committee) and …

Under IAS 23 Borrowing Costs, we are required to capitalize borrowing costs directly attributable to qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are defined as those that necessarily take a “substantial period of time” to get ready for use.
Can anyone help with any rule of thumb or standard practices regarding how long a “substantial period of time” might be?
Thanks
Gord

HI Gord,
From the KPMG insights into IFRS, “substantial period of time” could be
recognized as over 6 months.
Best regards
Adil

Should it not be a period rolling over one financial year?

Hi,
I encounter a question on that IFRS Software company. Here’s the case:
This company has been compliant with local GAAP. As it plans to IPO
on HK Exchange, it needs to prepare 2006, 2007 & 2008 financial
reports with 1/1/2006 as its date of transition. As it applies local
GAAP, and local GAAP does not have much requirement on Software
revenue recognition, the company has not applied VSOE to book its
various revenues from hardware, software, training, consulting and
maintenances activities. That is, it has booked them based figures
given by sales departments. The thing now is that …
