Dear all,
can anyone please guide me if there are any guidelines as to establish
date of commercial production in a manufacturing concern in IFRS.
thanks and regards
deepak

Hi Deepak,
I assume you are inferring to either intangible assets.
There is no specific guidance as to this date.
However, it is not unusual to assume the date of commercial production
to be the date (month) in which the first commercial orders are
processed in relation to the intangible.

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

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,
Can any one give their opinion on the below:
The organization is charging license cancellation fee for each
customer’s license cancellation. What if customer ran away without
canceling license. Now the Organization wants to cancel on their own
and charge license fee and recognize revenue and provide against
doubtful debts. In my opinion no need of license cancellation charged
to customer.
Best Regards,
Hemant

Hi Team,
Will any one clarify the difference between Exceptional Items &
Extraordinary Items?

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

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).

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.

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.

Dear Experts,

The Company issues lease agreement for 12 months for rent of 120000

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.
