Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the country will not have to prepare their accounts as per the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) from April 1, 2011, saving them significant cost of switching to the more rigorous accounting standard A government-constituted core panel on IFRS has decided to exempt SMEs from the first phase of convergence falling due in 2011.
Changes in regulations like the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), Goods and Services Tax (GST), Direct Taxes Code and the new Companies Act are likely to spur business for consulting and audit firms.
The government plans to introduce a bill to amend the Companies Act in the budget session of parliament to enable convergence of Indian accounting standards with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). “The ministry will carry out the exercise for necessary amendments in the Companies Act in the forthcoming budget session of parliament,” said a statement from the corporate affairs ministry.
The core group for convergence of Indian Accounting Standards with International Financial Reporting Standards accepts the Report of Sub-Group 1. Ministry of corporate affairs reiterates commitment to carry out the convergence of Indian accounting standards by April, 2011.
The Central Board of Direct taxes and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India have jointly constituted a study group to identify direct tax issues arising from convergence of Indian Accounting Standards [IAS] with the International Financial Reporting Standards [IFRS].The 1st meeting of the aforesaid Study Group was held on 6th January, 2010 in the head office of the Institute at New Delhi. The meeting was chaired by the President, ICAI.
The nation’s accounting standard-setting body, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), has changed some rules to allow both new and serving officers of the Indian Audit and Accounts Service (IA&AS) to acquire the qualification of a chartered accountant (CA).
The corporate affairs ministry and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) are confident of meeting the April 2011 deadline to shift to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). But industry says a complete transition from Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to IFRS may take time.
The issues of opening up of accountancy services in India and recognition to Indian accountancy professionals in the UK are likely to get a push at the forthcoming India-UK talks on Corporate Governance. The key issue will be the reciprocal recognition to the members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and its British counterpart.
Normally every sovereign state provides a legal framework to decide about the accounting year. Every entity carrying on a business is required to prepare the final accounts as understood by us for pre-defined accounting year. [More…] Besides annual report to various stakeholders, collection of tax revenue is also based on this pre-determined accounting year. In India, such an accounting year is financial year starting from 1st April and ending on 31st March. Earlier in India, sentimental luxury relating to choice of an accounting year was given to every business entity. No longer is such a luxury permissible.
These are challenging times in many respects. A global financial meltdown in which India cannot escape without hurt, a gruesome terrorist attack on 26/11 on the financial capital of India i.e., our dear Mumbai, politicians’ continuous play and ensuing election and what not. In the field of Accounting and Auditing also we are expected to start a new reporting procedure, namely, IFRS. It is stated to be applicable from 1st April 2011. However in reality, one will have to start looking at the accounts in accordance with IFRS requirements much earlier, say, from 1st of April 2009.
