ING STANDARDS The forming of the International ing Standards Committee in 1973 was the organized ing profession`s most important and enduring response to the growing internationalization of capital markets following the Second World War. The IASC was the brain child of Sir Henry Benson, one of the leading lights of the British ancy Profession. With the rise of multinational enterprise in the 1960s and the consequent need to compare financial statements from different parts of the world, he realized that an effort had to be launched to harmonize the vastly different ancy practises across countries.
IASC - History of International ing Standards International ing Standards Committee (IASC) was founded in June 1973 in London. It was responsible for developing the International ing Standards and promoting the use and application of these standards. The IASC was founded as a result of an agreement between ancy bodies in the following countries:
Australia - Institute of Chartered ants in Australia (ICAA) and the A Australia
Canada - Canadian Institute of Chartered ants (CICA)
- Ordre des Experts Comptable et des Comptables Agrees (Order of ing Experts and Qualified ants)
- Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer in Deutschland (IDW) (Institute of Auditors in ) and the Wirtschaftsprüferkammer (WPK) (Chamber of Auditors)

ing Edu Excel IASB & IFRS Foundation It was felt in late 90`s that IASC was not independent of its member bodies and each member has its own interest and it was difficult to accommodate all. So a committee was formed to issue a report for restructuring IASC. The committee issued its report in 2000. Based on the recommendations of the report “Recommendations on Shaping IASC for the future”, International ing Standards Board (IASB) was formed to replace IASC and assumed standard setting responsibilities. The IASB is the independent standard setting body of the IFRS foundation. The IFRS foundation is an independent, not-for-profit private sector organisation working in the public interest. Its principal objectives are to develop a single set of high quality, understandable, enforceable and globally accepted international financial reporting standards (IFRSs) through its standard-setting body, the IASB to promote the use and rigorous application of those standards to take of the financial reporting needs of emerging economies and small and medium-sized entities (SMEs) to promote and facilitate adoption of IFRSs, being the standards and interpretations issued by the IASB, through the convergence of national ing standards and IFRSs. On Apr 18, 2001 The IASB approved the following resolution: “All Standards and Interpretations issued under previous constitutions continue to be applicable unless and until they are amended or withdrawn. The IASB may amend or withdraw International ing Standards and SIC Interpretations issued under previous constitutions of IASC as well as issue new Standards and Interpretations.” The effect of this resolution is that all IASC Standards and SIC Interpretations in effect as of 1 April 2001 (the date on which the IASB assumed its duties) remain in effect until they are amended or withdrawn by the IASB.

ing Edu Excel DEVELOPING & PUBLISHING THE EXPOSURE DRAFT(ED) An Exposure Draft is the IASB`s main vehicle for consulting the public. An ED sets out a specific proposal in the form of a proposed standard. The development of an ED begins with the IASB considering issues on the basis of staff research & recommendations comments received on any discussion paper suggestions made by the interested parties When the issues concerning are resolved at meeting the IASB instructs the staff to draft the Exposure Draft. The IASB publishes the Exposure Draft for public comment when the draft has been completed the IASB has balloted on it DEVELOPING & PUBLISHING THE STANDARD The development of an IFRS is carried out when the IASB considers the comments received on the Exposure Draft. After resolving issues arising from the Exposure Draft, the IASB considers whether it should expose its revised proposals for public comment by publishing the second Exposure Draft. In considering the need for reexposure, the IASB identifies substantial issues that emerged during the exposure period that it had not previously considered assesses the evidence it has considered evaluates whether it has sufficiently understood the issues and actively sought the views of constituents considers whether the various viewpoints were aired in the ED and adequately discussed and reviewed in the basis for conclusions

ing Edu Excel Convergence – The move towards global standards General Term – Convergence means to achieve harmony with IFRSs Precise Term – Convergence means to design and maintain national ing standards in a way that financial statements prepared in accordance with national ing standards draw unreserved statement of compliance with IFRSs The goal of the IFRS Foundation and the IASB is to develop, in the public interest, a single set of high-quality, understandable, enforceable and globally accepted financial reporting standards based upon clearly articulated principles. In pursuit of this goal, the IASB works in close cooperation with stakeholders around the world, including investors, national standard-setters, regulators, auditors, academics, and others who have an interest in the development of highquality global standards. Progress toward this goal has been steady. All major economies have established time lines to converge with or adopt IFRSs in the near future. IFRS in EUROPEAN UNION In June 2002, the European Union adopted an IAS Regulation requiring European companies listed in an EU securities market, including banks and insurance companies, to prepare their consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs starting with financial statements for financial year 2005 onwards. The following table gives the status of IFRS in various countries. Country

ing Edu Excel Convergence between IFRSs and US GAAP The IASB and the US Financial ing Standards Board (FASB) have been working together since 2002 to achieve convergence of IFRSs and US generally accepted ing principles (GAAP). A common set of high quality global standards remains a priority of both the IASB and the FASB. In September 2002 the IASB and the FASB agreed to work together, in consultation with other national and regional bodies, to remove the differences between international standards and US GAAP. This decision was embodied in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the boards known as the Norwalk Agreement. The boards' commitment was further strengthened in 2006 when the IASB and FASB set specific milestones to be reached by 2008 (A roap for convergence 2006 - 2008). In the light of the progress achieved by the boards and other factors, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) removed in 2007 the requirement for non-US companies ed in the United States to reconcile their financial reports with US GAAP if their s complied with IFRSs as issued by the IASB. At the same time, the SEC also published a proposed roap on adoption of IFRSs for domestic US companies. In 2008 the two boards issued an update to the MoU, which identified a series of priorities and milestones, emphasising the goal of t projects to produce common, principle-based standards. The Group of 20 Leaders (G20) called for standard-setters to re-double their efforts to complete convergence in global ing standards. Following this request, in November 2009 the IASB and the FASB published a progress report describing an intensification of their work programme, including the hosting of monthly t board meetings and to provide quarterly updates on their progress on convergence projects. In April 2012 the IASB and FASB published a t progress report in which they describe the progress made on financial instruments, including a t expected loss impairment ('provisioning') approach and a more converged approach to classification and measurement. In February 2013 the IASB and FASB published a high-level update on the status and timeline of the remaining convergence projects. The report includes an update on the impairment phase of the t project on financial instruments.

ing Edu Excel Convergence in India: After going through various legal procedures and consultation, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has notified 35 ing standards called as IND AS for the purpose of convergence.
Phases of Convergence Phase 1: Companies forming part of Nifty & Sensex, whose securities are listed outside India, whose Net worth > Rs 1000 crores Phase 2: Companies whose Networth > Rs 500 Crores Phase 3: Listed Companies whose Networth< 500 crs
Present Position of Convergence The present position is that standards that would be applicable are notified. The date of applicability is yet to be notified. Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitley in his Budget Speech in July said "There is an urgent need to converge the current Indian ing standards with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)." “Based on the international consensus, the regulators will separately notify the date of implementation of Ind AS for the banks, insurance companies, etc. Standards for the computation of tax would be notified separately,” he added. From his speech we can understand that IFRS is the order of the day and those working in ing and Finance Sector need to know IFRS to move further in their career.
