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. Or would you record an entry only when it has been delivered to the company?
 
What IFRS would be applicable?
 
Thanks,
Isabelle

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.

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 …

Hello all!
We are currently assessing the impact of converting from our local GAAP to IFRS to prepare for a 2011 conversion. In this first diagnostic step, we hope to capture IFRS issues by account line item, divided into 4 main categories; accounting impact(disclosure and gap), system impact, business impact and people impact. (i.e. what would be the impact to the business on PP&E changes) We’re looking to bring in one of the major audit firms to guide us on this step. From this matrix, we hope to create a detailed …

See this link, this is the IFRS as adopted by Singapore authorities, the text is the same as for IFRS, only the numbering has been modified (IFRS 1 is FRS 101, IAS 12 is FRS 12),
 
Kind regards,
Henk

It would be helpful to give an example of what aspect of IAS 12 you’re interested in.  Depending on what jurisdiction you’re dealing with, one primary difference between many local GAAPs and IFRS on income tax accounting is around deferred tax accounting …

Henk willl provide the answer
 
Henk can you re-explain the whole story again i.e.
 
1. You mention we still have to use IAS until IFRS is more official, please restate the IAS link
2. Please re-state the IFRS link (is the one you sent for instance re FRS 38 in the other E-Mail)
3. Finally please send a link for the US GAAP/FASB, I want to have my library as opposed to relying on the PDF documents which outline differences between US GAAP, IFRS and local GAAP

Hi All
This is Muhammad Naveed

IAS 1 is the overall standard to refer to:

Materiality and Aggregation
