Non Profit Agency and Auditing

Can a funding agency enter into a bilateral contract with an external auditor to subject a non-profit entity to an external financial audit? The supposed audit engagement fee will be paid directly by the funder to the external auditor. The non-profit does not become a party to the audit engagement. Then, who becomes the addressee of the audit report? Does the external auditor become an extension of the personality of the funder? IS there such a thing as a project audit that will not be within …

BUSINESS COMBINATION »

[15 Dec 2008 | No Comment | 2,011 views]

Dear all,
I have a question in relation to acquisition accounting in accordance with
IFRS3. In this case a parent company A acquires all the shares in
subsidiary company B for (say) 50M. This cost price represents a goodwill
over the fair value of the assets and libailities assumed of 15M. Where
should I record the 15M goodwill? Is this in the subsidiary company B or
in parent company A?

Based on IAS21, p. 47, I would say in the sub.
All the best, Farah

Dear all,

Can you share me the international auditing standard document. Thanks

Danella,I double checked after the comment below, and I agree with Hemant. IAS 21.28 explicitly states that gains/losses on forex should be recognized in P&L. The forex is not attributable to the asset but to the financial liability.http://www.ifac.org/IAASB/
My apologies for my earlier answer.
Regards,
Jeroen

Hi,

In Canada, public companies and financial institutions (generally)
will be adopting IFRS in 2011. Private companies will have the choice
between IFRS and or local Canadian standards specifically for them. It
has not been announce yet what will happen with “Not-for-profit”
organizations (generally charities), but it seems likely they will
also have a choice between IFRS and local Canadian standards designed
specifically for not-for-profit organizations (essentially the private
company accounting standards with some extras/exceptions).
Can I ask what happens in other countries that are using (or adopting)
IFRS? Do private companies have a choice to adopt IFRS, are there

I’m a CPA from the US. Is the ACCA something I should join? I’m a
member of the IMA and the AICPA in the US. Is ACCA some kind of
upstart or does anyone find it to add value to their careers and is it
recognized by global employers?
Thanks for the opinions, mostly just curious here.

Dear Justin,
ACCA is a British qualification mostly recognisted by European based
mutlinational corporations, British in particular. Please also consider
CIMA which is also Brtish qualification with more focus on management
accounting (controlling). With both qualifications you can take IFRS
path.

register for course in IFRS with ACCA.

Asif,
ACCA provides Certification and Diploma in IFRS. You can take either
one of them as both are recognised. Certification is online but
Diploma in IFRS has examinations that are held every June & December
with exam center being in Mumbai.
