Would you please explain me what is the difference between affiliates
and subsidaries, and then if there is any difference in accounting
treatments.( i am asking these question w.r.t an investment co.)
2nd thing is how i will treat the personal expenses of a partner which
are being paid by the co. and where i have to show it in the balance
sheet.
Regards,
Hameed

Dear Hameed
The shares of subsidiary company should be owned by holding company
but for affiliates, the relationship is a connected party.
Thanks and regards
Simon

Dear Simon
Thanx for your reply, dear would you please explian me more, …

Dear all,

 
Is it possible to reclassify asset held for sale back to PPE?
 
 
Thanks,
Grace

Dear,
the guidances in this case are explianed in IFRS5.26 to IFRS5.29
Best regards,
         

Dear DivineIt is possible to reclassify an asset held for sale back to PPE if the criteria for classification are no longer met or if there is a change in plan for sale. The asset would need to be remeasured. Please refer to paragraphs 26 to 29 and 42 of IFRS 5 for more details on measurement and disclosure.

DEAR grace,
 
yes it is possible  but in that case …

Dear all,

Is it fair to value inventory at updated standard costs even if the inventory item was manufactured at a time when standard costs were much lower?
 
Regards,
Grace

Hi Divine
I experienced this issue in 1995
It is fair and possible but all depends on the control and policies you have
IAS 2 allows you to use standard cost valuation for inventory in final reporting if standards approximate to actuals.  As you well say below the standards will always differ a lot to actuals particularly now (and so was the case in 1995) because of …

Any one please clarify me this….
Hari

Hi Team,
Will any one clarify the difference between Exceptional Items &
Extraordinary Items?
With reference to IFRS what is the disclosure policy for the both.
Thanks & Regards,
Hari

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
has not been announce yet what will happen with “Not-for-profit”
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).
Can I ask what happens in other countries that are using (or adopting)
IFRS? Do private companies have a choice to adopt IFRS, are there
local …

Apologies for an off-top, – would anybody be able to provide me with thelink to ASBEs (Chinese Accounting Standards) in English?

Thanks and have a great day/ evening.

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.
BestRegards,
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.

Good day,
I would like to know how a company would record shares in its books if
these were received as a gift.
For example:
Shares held by Mr. Brown in Company A were transferred to Company B as
a gift. How would these shares be recorded in the books of Company B
under IFRS? Please refer me to the applicable IFRS
I look forward to your response
Regards,
Tracia

TraciaOne would need to refer to the terms and conditions of the transfer of
the gift for the more detailed aspects of recording the transaction.However, assuming that it is a vanilla …

Dear IFRSListers
Has anyone in the group dealt with carbon credit accounting under IFRS
yet? If so, please advise.
Regards
Vatsala

No business case as such. IFRIC 3 dealt with Emissions and was applied
by many companies until its withdrawal in 2005 as it resulted in
massive volatilities in the financial statements though it was the
correct way to apply IFRS for carbon credit accounting. IAS 8 applies
now.A fellow professional asked me this question and my research proved
unsatisfactory. I just want to know if any colleagues on this list are
still applying IFRS accounting and how they are dealing …

Dear Experts,
Please give your export opinion on the following query:
The Company issues lease agreement for 12 months for rent of 120000
from 1 Jan 2008 to 31 Dec 2008. The Company gives concession for 2
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.

Hemant

Hi all,
A non-profit organisation based in Virginia, USA was donated part of
real estate’s value.Currently the real estate is being adminstered by
an agent.I would appreciate if any one could hint me what both IFRS
and USGAAP recommends for treating such transaction.
Thank you
Aklilu

Hi,
When you say value, I assume a cash donation was made to buy the
property. Is the property been transferred in the name of this
organization. If it has, this means that risks and rewards of
ownership have been trasferred.
I would assume, IAS 20, Grant accounting rules will need to be followed.
The amount of …

All,
We are constucting a new building in our factory for which we of
course capitalize all the costs involved. However to build the new
building we had to tare down the old building that still had some book
value. Does anyone know if we would be able to capitalize the
bookvalue of the old building as part of the costs to construct the
new building or do we need to take the old book value directly to P&L?
Best regards,
John

You can capitalize demolition costs themselves, but need to write-down
the Book Value of old building, because its …

- If we purchase software licences for office programs like (
Microsoft , power point etc ). and we renew the same every year
do we need to capitalize this cost or expense it ( Please note that

General software costs should be expensed as they do not meet IAS 38
recognition criteria.

The cost of software license is an expense recognized in the …

I’m a CPA from the US. Is the ACCA something I should join? I’m a
member of the IMA and the AICPA in the US. Is ACCA some kind of
upstart or does anyone find it to add value to their careers and is it
recognized by global employers?
Thanks for the opinions, mostly just curious here.

Dear Justin,
ACCA is a British qualification mostly recognisted by European based
mutlinational corporations, British in particular. Please also consider
CIMA which is also Brtish qualification with more focus on management
accounting (controlling). With both qualifications you can take IFRS
path.
Please visit www.accaglobal.com …

Where can I find the training centre for IFRS in Mumbai – India, if I
register for course in IFRS with ACCA.
Regards
Asif

Asif,
ACCA provides Certification and Diploma in IFRS. You can take either
one of them as both are recognised. Certification is online but
Diploma in IFRS has examinations that are held every June & December
with exam center being in Mumbai.
THanks
