Hi All,
Accounting of lease rentals for operating lease in lessee’s book is
ruled in IAS as under :
“Lease payments under an operating lease shall be recognised as an
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless another
systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern of the
user’s benefit.”
My query is that when there is an escalation clause in the contract

eg: refer following table, should the accrual be made as per option 1
or option 2.
Thanks to reply asap.
Regards
Deepak

Hello,
 

If a company asks a third party to construct a fixed asset and at the end of the year, the fixed asset is not complete, but you have a statement of the costs incurred, would you capitalize the costs incurred under Construction in Progress with counterpart in accruals.

What IFRS would be applicable?
 
Thanks,
Isabelle

Deal All , as per IFRS we should take monthly accrual for the yearly holiday leave . But in our case
The company doesn’t pay 13 month or 12 month plus 1 month leave the system is that we got 12 months salaries and 1 of these months will be off so actually we work 11 months we got paid for 12
My question is : since the salaries exist in the PL on a monthly basis an accrual for holiday will not duplicate the expenses ?
or we consider it as …

Dear Elena,
I understand that accounting standards for smes are still in the drawing boards after asking for comments and suggestions from different sectors. I am a practising accountant in the Philippines.  My concern is on the issue of not-for-profit organization, which in the Philippine context are also known as non-government organizations (NGO’s). These NGO’s are generally funded by grants both from domestic and international funding agencies which have their own reportorial requirements aside from statutory requirements of state regulatory bodies. To satisfy both “users” ,  the  NGO will need to prepare both  special purpose and general purpose …
