Dear all,
 
Earlier i asked about IAS 20, “Government Grants” but i think i was not able to convey my querry properly. Let me ask the same again with an illustration:
 
Suppose an entity (A) which is owned by Government (B).
Another Government (C) provide a donation in kind (in the shape of assets).
Will this grant be accounted for under IAS-20?, or,
Whether the grant is excluded from the scope of IAS-20 (through exclusion paragraph)?
Please let me guide about treatment of this grant.
 
Thanks,
 
 
Sami

Yes a government grant is a government grant whether it is used …

Dear all,
 
I have a querry in IAS 20- Government Grants:
 

In the scope paragraph of the standard, those entities are excluded from the applicability of this standard which are owned by “Government”.

Q) My querry is that which government is refered in this paragraph?
        a) That Government which has provided grant to the reporting entity?
        b) Any government?
 
The confusion arises as in case the grant is given by the same government which also owns that entity, this standard do not apply to that standard altogether. As the owners contribution, in any form …

Hello,
Does anyone know where the best place to find
information on capitalizing internal software
development under IFRS?  Any links?  Which IAS/IFRS
standard is this covered under?
Thanks in advance for the help!

I am sending this to you …

Hi All
This is Muhammad Naveed
I have a query regarding the consolidation of subsidiaries. Does IAS-27 allow us to not consolidate subsidiaries which are immaterial for the group?
Is it specifically mentioned somewhere in IAS?
 
Regards
Muhammad

Well Naveed
Actually materiality is an underlying concept of the Financial Statements.So anything which is immaterial needs not to be disclosed or adjusted.
 
Thanks and regards

IAS 1 is the overall standard to refer to:

Materiality and Aggregation
29.        Each material class of similar items shall be presented separately in the financial statements.  Items of a dissimilar nature or function shall be presented separately unless …

Dear All
 
Please advise your views whether subject item does come under the scope of IAS 23 or IAS 39. The loan facility is repayable in 30 years and interest rate is variable interest rate and we hedge the interest rate by taking interest swap contracts with banks.
 
In case someone needs more facts to get to the bottom of the case, Please let me know.
 
with regards
Ram

Dear Ram,
My first reaction would be IAS 39 and not IAS 23 unless the case is that you want to capitalize these costs as part of …
