Good day,
I would like to know how a company would record shares in its books if
these were received as a gift.
For example:
Shares held by Mr. Brown in Company A were transferred to Company B as
a gift. How would these shares be recorded in the books of Company B
under IFRS? Please refer me to the applicable IFRS
I look forward to your response
Regards,

Dear IFRSListers
Has anyone in the group dealt with carbon credit accounting under IFRS
yet? If so, please advise.
Regards
Vatsala

No business case as such. IFRIC 3 dealt with Emissions and was applied
by many companies until its withdrawal in 2005 as it resulted in
massive volatilities in the financial statements though it was the
correct way to apply IFRS for carbon credit accounting. IAS 8 applies
now.A fellow professional asked me this question and my research proved
unsatisfactory. I just want to know if any colleagues on this list are
still applying IFRS accounting and how they are dealing …

Dear Experts,
Please give your export opinion on the following query:
The Company issues lease agreement for 12 months for rent of 120000
from 1 Jan 2008 to 31 Dec 2008. The Company gives concession for 2
months from 1 Jan 2008 to 28 Feb 2008 for 20000 i.e. a customer has to
pay 100,000.
Rent Amortization : Spread 12000 monthly over 12 months
Concession : Spread over concession period 2 months 10000 monthly
Do you think that concession should have been amortized over 12 months period.
Please mention the reference of IFRS.
Best Regards,
Hemant

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

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

                 Financial assets carried at amortized cost
