VI. Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023.
Following amendments have been made with respect to Ind AS -1 as per Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2023.
(i)In paragraph 7,before the definition of “ General purpose financial statements”, the following shall be inserted, namely:-
“Accounting policies are defined in paragraph 5 of IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, and the term is used in this Standard with the same meaning”;
(ii)in paragraph 10, an item (e ) ,for the words “significant accounting policies”, the words “material accounting policy information”, shall be substituted.
(iii)In paragraph 114, in item (c),for sub-item (ii), the following sub-item shall be substituted, namely:-“(ii)material accounting policy information (see paragraph117);”,
(iv)For paragraph 117,the following paragraph shall be substituted, namely:-
“Disclosure of accounting policy information
117. An entity shall disclose material accounting policy information (see paragraph 7). Accounting policy information is material if, when considered together with other information included in an entity’s financial statements, it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.
(v) After paragraph 117, The following shall be inserted, namely:-
“117 A. Accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions is immaterial and need not be disclosed. Accounting policy information may nevertheless be material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial. However, not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or conditions is itself material.
117 B. Accounting policy information is expected to be material if users of an entity’s financial Statements would need it to understand other material information in the financial statements.
For example, an entity is likely to consider accounting policy information material to its financial statements if that information relates to material transactions, other events or conditions and:
(a) the entity changed its accounting policy during the reporting period and this change resulted in a material change to the information in the financial statements;
(b) The entity chose the accounting policy from one or more options permitted by Ind ASs.
(c) the accounting policy was developed in accordance with IAS 8 in the absence of an IFRS that specifically applies;
(d) the accounting policy relates to an area for which an entity is required to make significant judgements or assumptions in applying an accounting policy, and the entity discloses those judgements or assumptions in accordance with paragraphs 122 and 125; or
(e) the accounting required for them is complex and users of the entity’s financial statements would otherwise not understand those material transactions, other events or conditions—such a situation could arise if an entity applies more than one IFRS to a Class of material transactions.
117C. Accounting policy information that focuses on how an entity has applied the requirements of the IFRSs to its own circumstances provides entity-specific information that is more useful to users of financial statements than standardized information, or information that only duplicates or summarizes the requirements of the IFRSs.
117D. If an entity discloses immaterial accounting policy information, such information shall not Obscure material accounting policy information.
117E An entity’s conclusion that accounting policy information is immaterial does not affect the related disclosure requirements set out in other IFRSs.
(vi) paragraphs 118,119,120 and 121 shall be omitted;
(vii) for paragraph 122, the following paragraph shall be substituted, namely:-
An entity shall disclose, along with material accounting policy information or other notes, the judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see paragraph 125), that management has made in the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.
