1. The Core Group was constituted by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs for convergence of Indian Accounting Standards with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This Core Group decided that there will be two separate sets of Accounting Standards viz.
(i) Indian Accounting Standards converged with the IFRS (Ind AS)
These are the standards which are being converged by eliminating the differences of the Indian Accounting Standards vis-à-vis IFRS. These standards shall be applied for all companies falling under Phase I to Phase III as prescribed under the roadmap issued by the core group. At present, these Ind ASs are in the form of Exposure Drafts and not yet finalized and therefore, no t applicable for the students appearing in May, 2011 Examination.
(ii) Accounting Standards
The companies not falling within the threshold limits prescribed for IFRS compliance in the respective phases shall continue to apply these standards in the preparation and presentation of financial statements.
2. Students are expected to have thorough knowledge of the Accounting Standards (AS 1 to AS 29) and Guidance Notes on various aspects issued by ICAI. As far as AS 30, 31 and 32 are concerned, in view of th e complexities involved, the questions involving conceptual issues (not involving application issues) may be asked. Since a separate topic of ‘Financial Instruments’ is included in the curriculum, simple practical problems based on AS 30, 31 and 32 may be asked.
3. The Accounting Standard Interpretations (ASI) have been issued from time to time by the Council of the ICAI. These interpretations address questions that arise in course of application of a particular Accounting Standard. ASI 2 and ASI 11 have b een withdrawn. ASI 12, 23, 27 and 29 have been withdrawn and issued as Guidance Notes. The remaining interpretations have been merged as explanations to the relevant paragraphs of the related Accounting Standards.
