As per the amended IAS 23, all borrowing costs on qualifying assets should be capitalised (no option to expense).
Does exchange differences on foreign currency loans qualify as borrowing costs to be capitalised?
Best regards
Allan

Hi Allan

To my understanding any positive/negative FX difference is expensed directly to the P&L.

Regards,
Marc

The change to IAS23 will come into force on Jan 2009. So far that is only allowed alternative, the benchmark tre
atment is to expense.
The exchange differences on foreign currency should be included to assets under construction and therefore capitalised. After capitalisation of qualifying asset any exchange …

I have some clients asking for studies that show the cost of conversion to IFRS for companies that have been through this.  Does anyone know of resources for this?
 
Thanks
Gord

and if anyone could link to any material about IFRS Conversion Project Management staff?
 
Thanks.
 
Lado

Hi Gord,
 
I don’t have info about it, but I would strongly recommend to include in the estimation the costs of following up on the quality of the conversion and further system modifications. Sometime those are bigger than the actual initial conversion costs.

Regards,
Marc

This is a very difficult question to answer because …

Hello all!
We are currently assessing the impact of converting from our local GAAP to IFRS to prepare for a 2011 conversion. In this first diagnostic step, we hope to capture IFRS issues by account line item, divided into 4 main categories; accounting impact(disclosure and gap), system impact, business impact and people impact. (i.e. what would be the impact to the business on PP&E changes) We’re looking to bring in one of the major audit firms to guide us on this step. From this matrix, we hope to create a detailed …

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!

You raise an interest topic David,  I would like to see the view of others

In the meantime page 56 of the differences between IFRS and US GAAP might help you as in the latter some software deveopment costs can be capitalised which would imply that under IFRS they are not but let us see what the others say

I am sending this to you …

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 …

Morning All,
Our company incurs a lot of expenses in terms of projects work like traveling. Substance, entertainment allowances etc
We also do incur expense interims of the preliminary expenses like site visits, negotiating meetings.

Are these expenses to be expensed or capitalized as we seems to have a different view of this from IAS 16.
Secondly before we begin any project we are supposed to remit 0.1% of the project cost as a government requirements to Environmental authority . Should such expenses be capitalized as per IAS 16 para 11
