The CA institute favours a regime where depreciation rates for company law purposes are based on the useful life of an asset. The depreciation rates should also be indicative and not prescriptive as is the case now, Mr Amarjit Chopra, President of Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), has said.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial asset is cash, equity shares issued by another entity, and a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset. A derivative instrument is recognised either as an asset or a liability depending on whether the price of the instrument is favourable or unfavorable to the entity. Today we shall not discuss accounting for derivatives.
The Centre-appointed core committee, dealing with the transition from the Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (IGAAP) to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), is expected to come out with fresh guidelines for implementing the new standards by the end of this month.
On January 22, 2010 the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued the road map for transition to IFRS. It is clear that India has deferred transition to IFRS by a year. In the first phase, companies included in Nifty 50 or BSE Sensex, and companies whose securities are listed on stock exchanges outside India and all other companies having net worth of Rs 1,000 crore will prepare and present financial statements using Indian Accounting Standards converged with IFRS.
This year has been the year of recognition. Our Institute has already achieved international recognition. National recognition was achieved recently when I received the award for “Recognition of Excellence” on behalf of the Institute from H.E. Smt. Pratibha Devisingh Patil, Hon’ble President of India.
The migration of the accounting standards for corporate India to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) platform has created a challenge for the revenue department at the Centre. The Direct Taxes Code written by the finance ministry and expected to become law in 2010-11 is in several instances incongruent with the new global accounting standards.
The increasing attractiveness of the European and Asian capital markets has prompted emerging economies like-Brazil , China, India, and Russia to converge their existing accounting standards to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Over 100 countries have now adopted or permitted IFRS or have based their local Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) on the principles of IFRS.
On 22 January 2010, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) issued a press release setting out the roadmap for International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) convergence in India. The roadmap requires IFRS to be made applicable in a phased manner. This is an historic step that will elevate Indian entities and their finance and accounting professionals to much greater heights. The publication of the roadmap was eagerly awaited by those who have been saying that the convergence to IFRS in India is a matter of when and how” and not “if.”
The Core Group, constituted by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs for convergence of Indian Accounting Standards with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) from April, 2011, that held its meeting on 11th January 2010 agreed that in view of the roadmap for achieving convergence, there will be two separate sets of Accounting Standards u/s Section 211(3C) of the Companies Act, 1956.
