I tried to find the user guideline on MYACCA site but could not find any that is useful. There is performance objective to achieved and optional. Can anybody help me?
Thanks a million.
Kind regards,
Mardiana

What sort of information are you after?
 
You fill in each area (which is split into 3 questions) of the TDM
Then I believe this is sent to …

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.”

how should the accrual be made over the total tenor of the lease; for
eg: refer following table, should the accrual be made as per option 1
or option 2.
Thanks to reply asap.

Dear all

My Company has an outstanding USD loan of say US$10m and as our main subsidiaries are operating in China and earns revenue denominated in RMB, which will ultimately flow to our company in terms of RMB dividend (converted to USD due to exchange regulation in PRC).
As we need to make periodic payments say US$1m every quarter, we are considering entering forex contracts to fix the USD/RMB rate that matches the payments (i.e. 10 contracts @US$1m each @ either same conversion price or different conversion price).
How should we disclose …

Dear all,

Is it fair to value inventory at updated standard costs even if the inventory item was manufactured at a time when standard costs were much lower?
 
Regards,
Grace

Hi Divine
I experienced this issue in 1995
It is fair and possible but all depends on the control and policies you have
IAS 2 allows you to use standard cost valuation for inventory in final reporting if standards approximate to actuals.  As you well say below the standards will always differ a lot to actuals particularly now (and so was the case in 1995) because of …

Dear all,
As I know , as per IFRS there is no prior year adjustment anymore ,
and back dated entries are not allowed once the year closed and
figures reported , Hence the actual variance will be booked in the
next year PL ,
example : if company A , estimated an income in 2007 and took a
provision for this income for 1M $ in 2007
The actual income received in 2008 for 2M$ , the
accounting entry will be reversing the 1M$ provision and Book the 1M$
variance in 2008 PL
My question is , As per …

Any one please clarify me this….

Hi Team,
Will any one clarify the difference between Exceptional Items &
Extraordinary Items?
With reference to IFRS what is the disclosure policy for the both.
Thanks & Regards,
Hari

Hi Hari,
to my understanding according to IAS 1 there was for several years the
possibility to show extraordinary items in the P+L (IAS 1.85). Since
2004 this seems to be no longer allowed according to Dr. David
Grünberger who is member in the Accounting Regulatory Committee in
Brussels which decides upon the endorsement of new IAS/IFRS standards
within the EU. According to US-GAAP extraordinary items are …

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

Dear All,
The Company was incorporated in Oct 2007.Could you please give your
expert opinion on the treatment of preliminary expenses (Revenue
generation is not yet started) e.g. rent, salary, traveling etc.
incurred during Oct 2007- Aug 2008. Please reply in reference to IFRS.
Revenue is expected in Sept 2008.
In my view, preliminary expenses can be accumulated and amortized when
revenue is started due to matching concept.
BestRegards,
Hemant

Preliminary expenses / startup costs, etc. cannot be deferred. They
have to be charged off to income statement in the year of actual
startup of operations.

Thanks & Regards

under IFRS? Please refer me to the applicable IFRS
I look forward to your response

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.
