1. we take a loan  and pay processing fee for taking loan.

Hi,
What disclosures does a company need to give for Interest rate swaps and which standards are applicable for this.
Thanks

My name is Aashima Tandon. Can anybody tell me what exactly is asset held for sale and negative goodwill? What

Hi there,
sale?

Assets held for sale include assets (or groups of
assets to be disposed of) whose carrying amount will

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.

with regards
Ram

See extract below:
“Currently, the EU has adopted all IFRSs, though one aspect of IAS 39
was modified. The modification affects only a small percentage of EU
