Hello to all IFRS expert,
Our company elects to use fair value at the date of transition as the deemed cost $100 of an item of property, plant and equipment. How we can account the difference $5 of the carrying amount $95 of the asset at that date with its deemed cost $100? Is it correct that we debit PPE $5 and credit Return Earning $5?

In May 2009 the IASB published an exposure draft on Fair Value Measurement.
Stephen Cooper, Member of the Board, Hilary Eastman, Project Manager and Henri Venter, Assistant Project Manager, will be introducing the exposure draft in a live web presentation on 30 June 2009 followed by a question and answer session. The exposure draft is open for comment until 28 September 2009.
The web presentation and the question and answer sessions will be recorded and made available on the project website soon after the presentation.

Each presentation, including the question and answer session, is expected to …

Dear IFRS team,
We provide for early retirement or termination charges. Would it be
right in making the provision for the whole liability
(which could be for 5-10 years) that we know about in the year which
we make that commitment, or should this cost just hit the P&L as and
when it occurs?
Many thanks for your help,
Sheetal

Hi Sheetal
Termination benefits are recognized only when the employer has
demonstrated its commitment to provide the benefits with a formal
detail plan for the dismissal of group of employees, when the employer
has contractually agreed to pay a termination benefit to …

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

Catherine,

 
Have you looked at IAS39 already, because depending on that you can or cannot apply hedge accounting. Basically you have 2 methods either Cashflow hedging or fair value hedging. If you want to do hedge accounting you will be required to do a lot of prospective and retrospective testing to prove the effectiveness of your hedges. If you don’t do hedge …

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 addition a footnote disclosure stating all the effects and details of the principle changes.

My client A acquired 66% of B from C, included in the contract was the clause that C can exchange the remaining shares in B with shares in A.

If I have to calculate the fair value do I use the normal Black Scholes etc?
