1. THEORETICAL BASES OF IFRS
1.1. Essence of IFRS.
1.2. The organizations developing IFRS.
1.3. Elements and structure of IFRS.
1.1. Essence of IFRS
For the first time the idea of IFRS creation was discussed in 1904 at the international congress organized by Arthur Lewis Dickinson in the small American city of St. Louis.
Now the system of IFRS includes the following components:
– the principles financial reporting on IFRS (framework);
– 29 IAS (International Accounting Standards) - No. No. 1-41;
– 16 IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards);
– interpretations of standards.
Financial statements are prepared and presented to external users by many companies around the world. Although such financial statements may appear similar from country to country, there are differences which have prob­ably been caused by a variety of social, economic and legal circumstances and by different countries having in mind the needs of different users of financial statements when setting national requirements.
These different circumstances have resulted in various definitions of the elements of financial statements, such as: assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. They have also led to the use of different criteria for the recognition of items in the financial statements and to a preference for different methods of measurement. The scope of the financial statements and the disclosures made in them have also been affected.
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) is committed to narrowing these differences by seeking to harmonise regulations, accounting standards and procedures relating to the preparation and presentation of finan­cial statements. Further harmonisation is believed be best pursued by focusing on financial statements that are prepared for the purpose of providing infor­mation that is useful for making economic decisions.
The Board believes that financial statements prepared for this purpose meet the common needs of most users. This is because nearly all users are making economic decisions, for example:
(a) to decide when to buy, hold or sell an equity investment;
(b) to assess the accountability of management;
(c) to assess the ability of the entity to pay and provide other benefits to its employees;
6
(d) to assess the security for amounts lent to the entity;
(e) to determine taxation policies;
(f) to determine distributable profits and dividends;
(g) to prepare and use national income statistics;
(h) to regulate the activities of entities.
Financial statements are most commonly prepared in accordance with an accounting model based on recoverable historical cost and the nominal finan­cial capital maintenance concept. Other models and concepts may be more appropriate in order to meet the objective of providing information that is use­ful for making economic decisions although there is at present no consensus for a change.
IFRS have advisory nature, and any country can independently make de­cisions on their use.
The officially approved IAS and IFRS language is English.
The USA and Canada don't use IFRS. The American system of account­ing founded on USGAAP is one of leading system in the world.
1.2. The organizations developing IFRS
The following organizations are engaged in problems of standardization of IFRS:
1. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), the leading or­ganization in the world on the development of single accounting standards, was created in 1973 is situated in London; it possesses author's rights on all standards, translates standards into other languages.
The mission of the IASB:
– the development of a single set of the high-quality, clear and almost implementable world accounting standards requiring provision of high-quality, transparent and comparable information in the reporting and its introduction to a public;
– the promotion of implementation and strict abidance of these standards;
– cooperation with the national authorities which are responsible for the
development and implementation of accounting standards for ensuring their wide use around the world.
The standards approved and accepted by the International accounting standards board before 2001 are called International Accounting Standards (IAS), and after 2001 – International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
2. The European commission – provides harmonization of accounting within the European Union because of essential distinctions in accounting practice of member countries of the European Union.
3. Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the USA is the USA governmental organization which jurisdiction extends on all companies selling securities in the USA including the foreign ones.
7
4. The intergovernmental working group of experts in IFRS in case of the UN – is created in 1982, is engaged in studying of problems of accounting in the international aspect, helps its standardization at the national and interna­tional levels.
5. Board on IFRS – provides development of the American accounting principles, one of the activities purposes – ensuring the international compara­bility and quality of the American standards. Potential competitor of IASB.
1.3. Elements and structure of IFRS
The IFRS represent the system of documents which include the introduc­tion to provisions on the IFRS, explanations of the preparation principles and accounts presentation as well as standards and interpretations to them.
Each standard includes the following elements:
– the object of accounting is a determined object of accounting and the basic concepts related;
– the recognition of accounting object is the description of reference cri­teria of objects taking into various elements of reporting;
– the assessment of the accounting object which is recommendations about the use of valuation methods and requirements to the various elements of reporting;
– the principle of representation in the financial reporting shows the rec­ommendations to the disclosure of the information about the accounting object in various forms of financial reporting.
The first standard was developed in 1974.
The structure of each standards, as a rule, is as follows:
– the introduction (the spheres where every standard is used, its purposes and tasks; disclosure of the basic concepts and their treatment);
– the text of the standard;
– the application guide;
– amendments to other elements;
– the requirements to disclosure of information establishing information
amount which is subject to disclosure it is direct in the financial reporting and in notes to it;
– approval of IASB;
– the conclusions;
– special opinions;
– illustrative examples.
An important component of the IFRS is interpretations (explanations to standards which were developed by Standards Interpretations Committee (SIC). In interpretations separate provisions of standards are explained, all questions answered in case of unsatisfactory practice of application of interna­tional standards, and also comments on new questions, subjects which aren't
8
completely covered in the existing standard are given. The interpretations pub­lished before 2001 in the abbreviated form hereinafter are referred to as SIC (Standards Interpretations Committee), after 2001 – IFRIC.
Control questions for self-examination
1. What language is considered officially the approved language of
IFRS?
2. List tasks of IFRS.
3. Call standards for a recognition and the reporting of financial instru-
ments.
4. What organizations are occupied with development of IFRS in modern
conditions?
5. How the class of the standards accepted by Council for international
accounting standards after 2001 is called?
6. How the class of the standards accepted by the International account-
ing standards board till 2001 is called?
7. List standards on non-current assets and liabilities.
2. TECHNIQUE OF CREATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT ACCORDING TO IFRS
2.1. Qualitative characteristics of useful financial information.
2.1.1. Fundamental qualitative characteristics.
2.1.2. Enhancing qualitative characteristics.
2.2. The cost constraint on useful financial reporting.
2.3. The elements of financial statements.
2.1. Qualitative characteristics of useful financial information
2.1.1. Fundamental qualitative characteristics
The fundamental qualitative characteristics are relevance, materiality and faithful representation.
Relevance
Relevant financial information is capable of making a difference in the decisions made by users. Information may be capable of making a difference in a decision even if some users choose not to take advantage of it or are al­ready aware of it from other sources.
Financial information is capable of making a difference in decisions if it has predictive value, confirmatory value or both. Financial information has predictive value if it can be used as an input to processes employed by users to predict future outcomes. Financial information need not be a prediction or
9
forecast to have predictive value. Financial information with predictive value is employed by users in making their own predictions.
Financial information has confirmatory value if it provides feedback about (confirms or changes) previous evaluations. The predictive value and confirmatory value of financial information are interrelated. Information that has predictive value often also has confirmatory value. For example, revenue information for the current year, which can be used as the basis for predicting revenues in future years, can also be compared with revenue predictions for the current year that were made in past years. The results of those comparisons can help a user to correct and improve the processes that were used to make those previous predictions.
Materiality
Information is material if omitting it or misstating it could influence deci­sions that users make on the basis of financial information about a specific reporting entity. In other words, materiality is an entity-specific aspect of rele­vance based on the nature or magnitude, or both, of the items to which the in-
formation relates in the context of an individual entity’s financial report. Con-
sequently, the Board cannot specify a uniform quantitative threshold for mate­riality or predetermine what could be material in a particular situation.
Faithful representa tio n
Financial reports represent economic phenomena in words and numbers. To be useful, financial information must not only represent relevant phenome­na, but it must also faithfully represent the phenomena that it purports to repre­sent. To be a perfectly faithful representation, a depiction would have three characteristics. It would be complete, neutral and free from error.
A complete depiction includes all information necessary for a user to un­derstand the phenomenon being depicted, including all necessary descriptions and explanations. For example, a complete depiction of a group of assets would include, at a minimum, a description of the nature of the assets in the group, a numerical depiction of all of the assets in the group, and a description of what the numerical depiction represents (for example, original cost, adjusted cost or fair value). For some items, a complete depiction may also entail ex­planations of significant facts about the quality and nature of the items, factors and circumstances that might affect their quality and nature, and the process used to determine the numerical depiction.
A neutral depiction is without bias in the selection or presentation of fi­nancial information. A neutral depiction is not slanted, weighted, emphasised, de-emphasised or otherwise manipulated to increase the probability that finan­cial information will be received favourably or unfavourably by users. Neutral information does not mean information with no purpose or no influence on behaviour. On the contrary, relevant financial information is, by definition, capable of making a difference in users’ decisions.
