IASB history
• 1973-2000: –International Accounting Standards
Committee (IASC)–Set up by 9 countries because of
globalisation of capital markets–IASs 1 to 41–By 2000 only some voluntary adoptions
by listed companies, very few unlisted companies

IASB history
• Since 2001: –IASC reorganised into International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB)–IFRSs 1-13 and improved IASs 1-41–Adoptions for listed companies by around
100 countries–Europe was the catalyst – adopted IFRS
for listed companies starting 2005–Dozens of other countries followed

First-Time Adoption of IFRSs as Your National Standards(focus on full IFRSs)

Definition of First-time Adoption (FTA)
• First set of financial statements in which the entity makes an “explicit and unreserved statement of compliance with IFRSs”:
“…in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards…”
15
![Page 16: Copyright © 2013, IFRS Foundation. All rights reserved](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dba5503460f94aab0e3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Copyright © 2013 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH UK | www.ifrs.org
Two Key Steps
• Select accounting policies based on IFRSs in force at end of reporting period of FTA:
– Assume 31 December 2013 for this presentation
• Prepare at least two years financial statements, and opening balance sheet for the earliest year, using those policies
– This would mean financial statements for 2013 and 2012 and an opening balance sheet at 1 January 2012

Selecting Initial IFRS Accounting Policies
• Criteria for selecting accounting policies:– Relevance– Reliability
• Many accounting policy decisions depend on circumstances – not “free choice”
• But some are pure “free choice”
17
![Page 18: Copyright © 2013, IFRS Foundation. All rights reserved](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dba5503460f94aab0e3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Copyright © 2013 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH UK | www.ifrs.org
Selecting Initial IFRS Accounting Policies
• A few examples of decisions that depend on circumstances:
– % of completion versus completed contract
– Method of depreciation– Specific identification or FIFO for
inventories– Whether to adjust the financial statements
for events occurring after end of period– Functional currency for translation

Copyright © 2013 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH UK | www.ifrs.org
Selecting Initial IFRS Accounting Policies
• On the other hand, IFRSs allow quite a few accounting policy choices that do not depend on circumstances:
– First-time adopters must choose– Examples on next ten slides

The Final IFRS for SMEs

– Compared to 3,636 pages for full IFRSs• Simplified IFRSs, but built on an IFRS

their financial statements• Issued 9 July 2009• Already adopted by over 80 jurisdictions
54
![Page 55: Copyright © 2013, IFRS Foundation. All rights reserved](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dba5503460f94aab0e3/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Copyright © 2013 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH UK | www.ifrs.org
Who are we aiming at?
Non-publicly accountable entities that must produce general purpose financial statements (GPFS)
– Not publicly traded– Not a bank or other financial institution
Which entities must produce GPFS is a public interest issue
– Decided by legislature and regulators, not by IASB
55
![Page 56: Copyright © 2013, IFRS Foundation. All rights reserved](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dba5503460f94aab0e3/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Copyright © 2013 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH UK | www.ifrs.org
How did we simplify?
1. Some topics in IFRSs omitted if irrelevant to private entities
2. Where IFRSs have options, include only simpler option
3. Recognition and measurement simplifications
4. Reduced disclosures
5. Simplified drafting
56

Copyright © 2013 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH UK | www.ifrs.org
What would first-time adoption involve?
• First assertion of compliance with IFRS for SMEs
• Can be switching from:– National GAAP– Full IFRSs– Or maybe never published GPFS in the past• Date of transition is beginning of earliest
period presented
57
![Page 58: Copyright © 2013, IFRS Foundation. All rights reserved](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dba5503460f94aab0e3/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Copyright © 2013 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH UK | www.ifrs.org
What would first-time adoption involve?
• As with first-time adoption of full IFRSs, FTA of IFRS for SMEs potentially involves adjustments from national GAAP or full IFRSs to IFRS for SMEs:
1.Derecognise some old assets and liabilities2.Recognise some new assets and liabilities3.Reclassifications4.Measurement changes
58
![Page 59: Copyright © 2013, IFRS Foundation. All rights reserved](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dba5503460f94aab0e3/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Copyright © 2013 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH UK | www.ifrs.org
What would first-time adoption involve?
• Select accounting policies based on choices in IFRS for SMEs (next 3 slides)
• Prepare at least two years financial statements, and opening balance sheet for the earliest year, using those policies
• Important simplification for SMEs:– If it is impracticable to restate one or
more items, IFRS for SMEs allows an exception, with disclosure of the resulting non-comparabilities

Copyright © 2013 IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH UK | www.ifrs.org
What would the impact be?
• What’s the expected impact on income and equity if SME switches to IFRS for SMEs?– Depends on what its existing GAAP is
– Is it now close to IFRSs? Miles away?– Are things like deferred taxes, pensions,
provisions, impairments accrued?– Capital leases? Derivatives?– Consolidation? Cash flow statement?– And quality of implementation.
– Depends on which options it chooses
