Hi All,
 
I am trying to determine if the IFRS financial statements of non listed companies are much different from the IFRS financial statements of listed companies.

Kind Regards,

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 …

Hi all!
I am a young chartered accountant from India presently working in a reputed engineering company at Baroda, India.

In the medium term I plan to get an international exposure particularly in South East Asian countries like Singapore, Malaysia etc. As Indian CA is not recognized as such in those countries I plan to take up international qualifications like ACCA or Singapore CPA although I still have to inquire whether it is possible to …

Dear Elena,
I understand that accounting standards for smes are still in the drawing boards after asking for comments and suggestions from different sectors. I am a practising accountant in the Philippines.  My concern is on the issue of not-for-profit organization, which in the Philippine context are also known as non-government organizations (NGO’s). These NGO’s are generally funded by grants both from domestic and international funding agencies which have their own reportorial requirements aside from statutory requirements of state regulatory bodies. To satisfy both “users” ,  the  NGO will need to prepare both  special purpose and general purpose …

As someone could let me know when all European entities should comply with the IFRS reporting format.
Up to now we comply with the LuxGaap or USGaap but I heard that we should report next January 2008 in IFRS.

Thanks and kind regards

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what part of IFRS deals with internal controls.
 
Thanks!

Well, IFRS standards doesn’t deal with internal control they deal with accounting and financial reporting pronouncements.
What exactly are you looking for related to internal control? Are you trying to comply with international standards? Are you involved in a company that has to comply with SOX? or you’re just trying to develop an internal control environment in your company?
 
If you’re more specific there is a lot of information that you can get online
