International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

SO 4 Explain accounting standards and the measurement principles.

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)http://www.fasb.org/

International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)http://www.iasb.org/

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)


Accounting Standards

Slide1-12

Cost Principle (Historical) dictates that companies record

assets at their cost.

Issues:

Reported at cost when purchased and also over the time the

asset is held.

Cost easily verified, market value is often subjective.

Fair value information may be more useful.


Measurement Principles

SO 4 Explain accounting standards and the measurement principles.


4/15

Slide

1-13

Fair Value Principle indicates that assets and liabilities should

be reported at fair value.

In determining which measurement principle to use, companies

weigh the factual nature of cost figures versus the relevance of

fair value.

Only in situations where assets are actively traded, such as

investment securities, is the fair value principle applied.


Measurement Principles

SO 4 Explain accounting standards and the measurement principles.Slide

Monetary Unit Assumption include in the accounting records

only transaction data that can be expressed in terms of money.

Economic Entity Assumption requires that activities of the

entity be kept separate and distinct from the activities of its

owner and all other economic entities.

Review QuestionReview Question

Slide1-55

In 2002, the U.S. Congress issued the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX),

which mandated certain internal controls for large public

companies listed on U.S. exchanges. Debate about international

companies (non-U.S.) adopting SOX-type standards centers on

whether the benefits exceed the costs. The concern is that the

higher costs of SOX compliance are making the U.S. securities

markets less competitive.

Financial frauds have occurred at companies such as Satyam

Computer Services (IND), Parmalat (ITA), and Royal Ahold (NLD).

They have also occurred at large U.S. companies such as Enron,

WorldCom, and AIG.


Understanding U.S. GAAPUnderstanding U.S. GAAP

Key DifferencesKey Differences

Slide1-56

IFRS tends to be less detailed in it s accounting and disclosure

requirements than GAAP. This difference in approach has resulted

in a debate about the merits of principles-based (IFRS) versus

rules-based (GAAP) standards.

U.S. regulators have recently eliminated the need for foreign

companies that trade shares in U.S. markets to reconcile their

accounting with GAAP.

GAAP is based on a conceptual framework that is similar to that

used to develop IFRS.





15/15

Slide

1-57

The three common forms of business organization that are

presented in the chapter, proprietorships, partnerships, and

corporations, are also found in the United States. Because the

choice of business organization is influenced by factors such as

legal environment, tax rates and regulations, and degree of

entrepreneurism, the relative use of each form will vary across

countries.

Transaction analysis is basically the same under IFRS and GAAP

but, as you will see in later chapters, the different standards may

impact how transactions are recorded.




Slide

1-58

Looking to the FutureLooking to the Future



Both the IASB and the FASB are hard at work developing

standards that will lead to the elimination of major diff erences in

the way certain transactions are accounted for and reported.

Consider, for example, that as a result of a joint project on the

conceptual framework, the definitions of the most fundamental

elements (assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and expenses) may

actually change. However, whether the IASB adopts internal

control provisions similar to those in SOX remains to be seen.
