    The KPMG-sponsored Audit Committee

    Institute is a growing international network

    that provides complimentary guidance

    and resources. It is designed to help non-

    executive directors update and refresh

    the skills and knowledge that are essential

    for each member to fulfil their role withinthe board. From small, sector-specific

    forums to large key speaker dinners, the

    Audit Committee Institute offers non-

    executive directors a forum to network

    with their peers.

    INSIGHTS INTO IFRS: AN OVERVIEWThe move towards a single set of high-quality, global accounting standards continues

    to gather momentum. As of August 2012, over 120 countries and reporting jurisdictions

    require or allow the use of IFRS by publicly traded companies, and more are planning to do

    so in the near future.

    For those companies reporting under IFRS, Audit Committees need to understand the

    standards; but more importantly, they need to understand the principles underpinning

    the preparation of the financial statements and the auditors judgements. They must beprepared to invest the time necessary to understand why critical accounting policies

    are chosen and how they are applied, and to satisfy themselves that the end result fairly

    reflects their understanding.

    Insights into IFRS: An overview is designed to help Audit Committee members, and

    others, by providing a structured guide to the key issues arising from the standards.

    It offers an overview of the requirements of IFRS as at 1 August 2012. For a fuller

    understanding of these requirements, this overview should be read in conjunction with

    Insights into IFRS, KPMGs practical guide to International Financial Reporting Standards,9th edition 2012/13.

    HOW TO NAVIGATE THIS PUBLICATION

    You can read and navigate this book on a desktop or mobile device. However, for

    mobile devices you may need to open the book in a PDF reader or eBook application.

    This publication provides a quick overview of the key requirements of IFRS, for easy

    reference. The overview is organised by topic, following the typical presentation of items

    in financial statements.

    All references to sections in this book are hyperlinked. Click or tap on the text to visitthat section. Click or tap on the home icon at the bottom of each page to return to

    Contents.

    This edition is based on IFRS in issue at 1 August 2012 that is applicable for entities with

    annual reporting periods beginning on 1 January 2012 (referred to as currently effective

    requirements)1. A list of the standards and interpretations that are currently effective is

    included in Appendix II.

    When a significant change will occur as a result of a standard or interpretation that is in

    issue at 1 August 2012, but that is not required to be adopted by an entity with an annualreporting period ending 31 December 2012, it is referred to as a forthcoming requirement.

    An overview of significant forthcoming requirements is included in Appendix I. In

    addition, sections 2.4A Fair value measurement: IFRS 13, 2.5A Consolidation: IFRS 10,

    3.6A Investments in joint arrangements: IFRS 11, 4.4AEmployee benefits: IAS 19 (2011)

    and 7AFinancial instruments: IFRS 9are included as forthcoming requirements in their

    entirety. Minor amendments to standards are not covered in Appendix I.

    References to standards are hyperlinked toAppendix Iand II, as appropriate. You can

    navigate back from the Appendices by clicking or tapping the relevant section number.

    For some topics, we anticipate changes to IFRS in issue at 1 August 2012 e.g. as a

    result of an IASB project which are not dealt with in this book. If you are interested in

    following the four main joint IASB and FASB projects financial instruments, insurance,

    leases and revenue then you will find our IFRS Newsletterseries helpful. Available at

    www.kpmg.com/ifrs, these newsletters provide an overview of the recent discussions,

    analysis of the potential impact of decisions, current status and anticipated timeline for

    completion.

    1 This publication does not provide an overview of the requirements of IAS 26 Accounting and Reportingby Retirement Benefit Plans; or the IFRS for Small and Medium-sized Entities(IFRS for SMEs).

    1. BACKGROUND

    1.1 Introduction Currently effective: IFRS Foundation Constitution, IASB Due Process Handbook, IFRIC Due

    Process Handbook, Preface to IFRSs, IAS 1

    Forthcoming: Monitoring Boards review

    International Financial Reporting Standards

    IFRS is the term used to indicate the whole body of IASB authoritative literature.

    IFRS is designed for use by profit-oriented entities.

    Both the bold and plain-type paragraphs of IFRS have equal authority.

    Compliance with IFRS

    Any entity claiming compliance with IFRS complies with all standards and

    interpretations, including disclosure requirements, and makes an explicit andunreserved statement of compliance with IFRS.

    The overriding requirement of IFRS is for the financial statements to give a fair

    presentation (or a true and fair view).

    1.2 The Conceptual Framework Currently effective: IASB Conceptual Framework Forthcoming: IFRS 13

    Purpose

    The IASB and the Interpretations Committee use the Conceptual Framework when

    developing new or revised IFRSs and interpretations, or amending existing IFRSs.

    The Conceptual Framework is a point of reference for preparers of financial statements

    in the absence of specific guidance in IFRS.

    Objective of general purpose financial reporting

    The objective of general purpose financial reporting is to provide financial information

    about the reporting entity that is useful to existing and potential investors, lenders and

    other creditors in making decisions about providing resources to the entity.

    Qualitative characteristics of useful financial information

    The Conceptual Framework outlines the qualitative characteristics of financial

    information to identify the types of information that is likely to be most useful to users

    of financial statements.

    Assets and liabilities

    The Conceptual Framework sets out the definitions of assets and liabilities. The

    definitions of equity, income and expenses are derived from the definition of assets

    and liabilities.

    Going concern

    Financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, unless management

    intends or has no alternative other than to liquidate the entity or to stop trading.

    Transactions with shareholders

    Transactions with shareholders in their capacity as shareholders are recognised directly

    in equity.

    2. GENERAL ISSUES

    2.1 Form and components of financial statements Currently effective: IAS 1, IAS 27

    Forthcoming: IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IAS 27 (2011), Amendments to IAS 1,Annual Improvements

    20092011

    Components of a complete set of financial statements

    The following are presented as a complete set of financial statements: a statement of

    financial position; a statement of comprehensive income; a statement of changes in

    equity; a statement of cash flows; and notes, including accounting policies.

    In addition, a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest

    comparative period is presented when an entity restates comparative information

    following a change in accounting policy, the correction of an error, or the reclassification

    of items in the financial statements.

    Reporting period

    The end of the annual reporting period may change only in exceptional circumstances.

    Comparative information

    Comparative information is required for the preceding period only, but additional periods

    and information may be presented.

    Types of financial statements

    IFRS sets out the requirements that apply to consolidated, individual and separatefinancial statements.

    Consolidated financial statements

    An entity with one or more subsidiaries presents consolidated financial statements

    unless specific criteria are met.

    Individual financial statements

    An entity with no subsidiaries but with an associate or jointly controlled entity prepares

    individual financial statements unless specific criteria are met.

    Separate financial statements

    An entity is permitted, but not required, to present separate financial statements in

    addition to consolidated or individual financial statements.

    Presentation of pro forma information

    In our view, the presentation of pro forma information is acceptable if it is allowed by

    local regulations and stock exchange rules and if certain criteria are met.

    2.2 Changes in equity Currently effective: IAS 1 Forthcoming:Annual Improvements 20092011

    General

    A statement of changes in equity (and related notes) reconciles opening to closing

    amounts for each component of equity.

    All owner-related changes in equity are presented in the statement of changes in equity,

    separately from non-owner changes in equity.

    Entities with no equity

    Entities that have no equity as defined in IFRS may need to adopt the financial

    statement presentation of members or unit holders interests.

    Changes in accounting policies and errors

    The total adjustment to each component of equity resulting from changes in accountingpolicies is presented separately from that resulting from the correction of errors in the

    statement of changes in equity.

    2.3 Statement of cash flows Currently effective: IAS 7

    Cash and cash equivalents

    Cash and cash equivalents includes certain short-term investments and, in some

    cases, bank overdrafts.

    Operating, investing and financing activities

    The statement of cash flows presents cash flows during the period classified by

    operating, investing and financing activities.

    An entity chooses its own policy for classifying each of interest and dividends. The

    chosen presentation method should present the cash flows in the most appropriate

    manner for the business or industry, and should be applied consistently.

    Taxes paid are classified as operating activities unless it is practicable to identify them

    with, and therefore classify them as, financing or investing activities.

    Direct vs indirect method

    Cash flows from operating activities may be presented under either the direct method

    or the indirect method.

    Foreign currency cash flows

    Foreign currency cash flows are translated at the exchange rates at the dates of thecash flows (or using averages when appropriate).

    Offsetting

    Generally, all financing and investing cash flows are reported gross. Cash flows are

    offset only in limited circumstances.

    2.4 Basis of accounting Currently effective: IAS 1, IAS 21, IAS 29, IFRIC 7 Forthcoming: IFRS 13

    Modified historical cost

    Financial statements are prepared on a modified historical cost basis, with a growing

    emphasis on fair value.

    Going concern

    Even when the going concern assumption is not appropriate, IFRS is still applied.

    Hyperinflation

    When an entitys functional currency is hyperinflationary, its financial statements are

    adjusted to state all items in the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting

    period.

    Key judgements and estimations

    Disclosure is required for judgements that have a significant impact on the financial

    statements and for key sources of estimation uncertainty.

    2.4A Fair value measurement: IFRS 13 Forthcoming: IFRS 13

    IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurementis not yet effective. It will be effective for annual periods

    beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

    Scope

    IFRS 13applies to most fair value measurements or disclosures (including

    measurements based on fair value) that are required or permitted by other IFRSs.

    Fair value principles

    Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a

    liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement

    date i.e. an exit price.

    Fair value measurement assumes that a transaction takes place in the principal

    market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most

    advantageous market for the asset or liability.

    Application issues

    For liabilities or an entitys own equity instrument, if a quoted price for a transfer

    of an identical or similar liability or own equity instrument is not available and the

    identical item is held by another entity as an asset, then the liability or own equity

    instrument is valued from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset.

    Failing that, other valuation techniques are used to value the liability or own equity

    instrument from the perspective of a market participant that owes the liability. The fair value of a liability reflects non-performance risk. Non-performance risk is

    assumed to be the same before and after the transfer of the liability.

    When another IFRS requires or permits an asset or a liability to be measured initially

    at fair value, gains or losses arising on the difference between fair value at initial

    recognition and the transaction price are recognised in profit or loss, unless the other

    IFRS requires otherwise.

    Certain groups of financial assets and financial liabilities with offsetting market orcredit risks may be measured based on the net risk exposure.

  • 8/12/2019 KPMG IFSR 2012

    15/112

    Insights into IFRS: An overview | 13

    2012 KPMG IFRG Limited, a UK company, limited by guarantee. All rights reserved.

    The fair value of a non-financial asset is based on its highest and best use tomarket participants, which may be on a stand-alone basis or in combination with

    complementary assets or liabilities.

    Valuation technique

    While IFRS 13discusses three general approaches to valuation (the market, income,

    and cost approaches), it does not establish specific valuation standards. Several

    valuation techniques may be available under each approach.

    Appropriate valuation technique(s) should be used, maximising the use of relevant

    observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

    A fair value hierarchy is established based on the inputs to valuation techniques used

    to measure fair value.

    The inputs are categorised into three levels (Levels 1, 2 and 3), with the highest

    priority given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or

    liabilities and the lowest priority given to unobservable inputs.

    A premium or discount may be an appropriate input to a valuation technique. Apremium or discount should not be applied if it is inconsistent with the relevant unit

    of account.

    For fair value measurements of assets or liabilities having bid and ask prices, an

    entity uses the price within the bid-ask spread that is most representative of fair

    value in the circumstances. The use of bid prices for assets and ask prices for

    liabilities is permitted.

    Guidance is provided on measuring fair value when there has been a decline in the

    volume or level of activity in a market, and when transactions are not orderly.

    Disclosures

    A comprehensive disclosure framework is set out in IFRS 13to help users of

    financial statements assess the valuation techniques and inputs used in fair value

    measurements, and the effect on profit or loss or other comprehensive income of

    recurring fair value measurements that are based on significant unobservable inputs.

    2.5 Consolidation Currently effective: IAS 27, SIC-12 Forthcoming: IFRS 10, IFRS 12

    Scope

    All subsidiaries are consolidated, including subsidiaries of venture capital organisations

    and unit trusts, and those acquired exclusively with a view to subsequent disposal.

    Assessing control

    Consolidation is based on control, which is the power to govern, either directly or

    indirectly, the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from

    its activities.

    The ability to control is considered separately from the exercise of that control.

    The assessment of control may be based on either a power-to-govern or a de facto

    control model.

    Potential voting rights that are currently exercisable are considered in assessing control.

    Special purpose entities

    A special purpose entity (SPE) is an entity created to accomplish a narrow and well-

    defined objective. SPEs are consolidated based on control. The determination of control

    includes an analysis of the risks and benefits associated with an SPE.

    Subsidiaries accounting periods and policies

    A parent and its subsidiaries generally have the same reporting periods when

    consolidated financial statements are prepared. If this is impracticable, then the

    difference between the reporting period of a parent and its subsidiary cannot be more

    than three months. Adjustments are made for the effects of significant transactions and

    events between the two dates.

    Uniform accounting policies are used throughout the group.

    Entitiesare not yet effective. They will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after

    1 January 2013.

    The single control model

    Control involves power, exposure to variability in returns and a linkage between thetwo. It is assessed on a continuous basis.

    The investor considers the purpose and design of the investee so as to identify

    its relevant activities, how decisions about such activities are made, who has the

    current ability to direct those activities and who receives returns therefrom.

    Control is usually assessed over a legal entity, but can also be assessed over only

    specified assets and liabilities of an entity (referred to as a silo) when certain

    conditions are met.

    Step 1: Power over relevant activities

    There is a gating question in the model, which is to determine whether voting rights

    or rights other than voting rights are relevant when assessing whether the investor

    has power over the relevant activities of the investee.

    Only substantive rights held by the investor and others are considered.

    If voting rights are relevant when assessing power, then substantive potential voting

    rights are taken into account. The investor assesses whether it holds voting rightssufficient to unilaterally direct the relevant activities of the investee, which can

    include de facto power.

    If voting rights are not relevant when assessing power, then the investor considers:

    the purpose and design of the investee;

    evidence that the investor has the practical ability to direct the relevant activities

    unilaterally;

    indications that the investor has a special relationship with the investee; and

    whether the investor has a large exposure to variability in returns.

    Step 2: Exposure to variability in returns

    Returns are broadly defined and include:

    distributions of economic benefits;

    changes in the value of the investment; and

    fees, remunerations, tax benefits, economies of scale, cost savings and other

    synergies.

    Step 3: Linkage An investor that has decision-making power over an investee and exposure to

    variability in returns determines whether it acts as a principal or as an agent to

    determine whether there is a linkage between power and returns. When the decision

    maker is an agent, the link between power and returns is absent and the decision

    makers delegated power is treated as if it were held by its principal(s).

    To determine whether it is an agent, the decision maker considers:

    substantive removal and other rights held by a single or multiple parties;

    whether its remuneration is on arms length terms;

    its other economic interests; and

    the overall relationship between itself and other parties.

    An entity takes into account the rights of parties acting on its behalf when assessing

    whether it controls an investee.

    2.6 Business combinationsCurrently effective: IFRS 3 Forthcoming: IFRS 10, IFRS 13

    Scope

    Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method, with limited

    exceptions.

    Identifying a business combination

    A business combination is a transaction or other event in which an acquirer obtains

    control of one or more businesses.

    Identifying the acquirer

    The acquirer in a business combination is the combining entity that obtains control of

    the other combining business or businesses.

    Determining the acquisition date

    The acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer obtains control of the acquiree.

    Consideration transferred

    Consideration transferred by the acquirer, which is generally measured at fair value at

    the acquisition date, may include assets transferred, liabilities incurred by the acquirer

    to the previous owners of the acquiree and equity interests issued by the acquirer.

    Determining what is part of the business combination

    Any items that are not part of the business combination transaction are accounted for

    outside of the acquisition accounting.

    Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed

    The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised separately

    from goodwill at the acquisition date if they meet the definition of assets and liabilities

    and are exchanged as part of the business combination. They are measured at theacquisition date at their fair values, with limited exceptions.

    Measurement of non-controlling interests

    Ordinary non-controlling interests (NCI) are measured at fair value, or at their

    proportionate interest in the net assets of the acquiree, at the acquisition date.

    Other NCI are generally measured at fair value.

    Goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase

    Goodwill is measured as a residual and is recognised as an asset. When the residual is

    a deficit (gain on a bargain purchase), it is recognised in profit or loss after re-assessing

    the values used in the acquisition accounting.

    Subsequent measurement and accounting

    Adjustments to the acquisition accounting during the measurement period reflect

    additional information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition

    date.

    In general, items recognised in the acquisition accounting are measured and accounted

    for in accordance with the relevant IFRSs subsequent to the business combination.

    2.7 Foreign currency translation Currently effective: IAS 21, IAS 29

    Determining the functional currency

    An entity measures its assets, liabilities, income and expenses in its functional

    currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it

    operates.

    Translation of foreign currency transactions

    Transactions that are not denominated in an entitys functional currency are foreign

    currency transactions; exchange differences arising on translation are generally

    recognised in profit or loss.

    Translation of financial statements of a foreign operation

    The financial statements of foreign operations are translated as follows:

    assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate;

    income and expenses are translated at actual rates or appropriate averages; and

    equity components (excluding current-year movements, which are translated at

    actual rates) are translated at historical rates.

    Exchange differences arising on the translation of the financial statements of a foreign

    operation are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a

    separate component of equity. The amount attributable to any non-controlling interests

    (NCI) is allocated to and recognised as part of NCI.

    Hyperinflation

    If the functional currency of a foreign operation is the currency of a hyperinflationary

    economy, then current purchasing power adjustments are made to its financialstatements before translation into a different presentation currency; the adjustments

    are based on the closing rate at the end of the current period. However, if the

    presentation currency is not the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, then

    comparative amounts are not restated.

    Translation from functional to presentation currency

    An entity may present its financial statements in a currency other than its functional

    currency (presentation currency). An entity that translates financial statements into a

    presentation currency other than its functional currency uses the same method as for

    translating financial statements of a foreign operation.

    Sale or liquidation of a foreign operation

    If an entity disposes of an interest in a foreign operation, which includes losing control

    over a foreign subsidiary, then the cumulative exchange differences recognised in othercomprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. A partial disposal of a foreign

    subsidiary (without the loss of control) leads to a proportionate reclassification to NCI,

    while other partial disposals result in a proportionate reclassification to profit or loss.

    Convenience translations

    An entity may present supplementary financial information in a currency other than its

    presentation currency if certain disclosures are made.

    2.8 Accounting policies, errors and estimates Currently effective: IAS 1, IAS 8 Forthcoming:Annual Improvements 20092011

    Selection of accounting polices

    Accounting policies are the specific principles, bases, conventions, rules and practices

    that an entity applies in preparing and presenting financial statements.

    When IFRS does not cover a particular issue, management uses its judgement based

    on a hierarchy of accounting literature.

    Unless otherwise specifically permitted by an IFRS, the accounting policies adopted by

    an entity are applied consistently to all similar items.

    Changes in accounting policy and correction of prior-period errors

    An accounting policy is changed in response to a new or revised IFRS, or on a voluntary

    basis if the new policy is more appropriate.

    Generally, accounting policy changes and corrections of prior-period errors are made byadjusting opening equity and restating comparatives unless this is impracticable.

    Changes in accounting estimates

    Changes in accounting estimates are accounted for prospectively.

    When it is difficult to determine whether a change is a change in accounting policy or a

    change in estimate, it is treated as a change in estimate.

    Change in classification or presentation

    If the classification or presentation of items in the financial statements is changed, thencomparatives are restated unless this is impracticable.

    Presentation of a third statement of financial position

    A statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period

    is presented when an entity restates comparative information following a change

    in accounting policy, the correction of an error, or the reclassification of items in thefinancial statements.

    2.9 Events after the reporting period Currently effective: IAS 1, IAS 10

    Overall approach

    The date on which the financial statements are authorised for issue is generally the date

    on which they are authorised for issue by management, either to the supervisory board

    or to the shareholders.

    Adjusting events

    The financial statements are adjusted to reflect events that occur after the end of the

    reporting period, but before the financial statements are authorised for issue, if those

    events provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period.

    Non-adjusting events

    Financial statements are not adjusted for events that are a result of conditions that

    arose after the end of the reporting period, except when the going concern assumption

    is no longer appropriate.

    Current vs non-current classification

    The classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on circumstances at the

    end of the reporting period.

    Earnings per share

    Earnings per share is restated to include the effect on the number of shares of certainshare transactions that happen after the end of the reporting period.

    Going concern

    If management determines that the entity is not a going concern after the end of the

    reporting period but before the financial statements are authorised for issue, then the

    financial statements are not prepared on a going concern basis.

    Identifying the key event

    It is necessary to determine the underlying causes of an event and its timing to

    determine the appropriate accounting i.e. as an adjusting or non-adjusting event.

    Discovery of a fraud after the end of the reporting period

    In our view, if information about a fraud could not reasonably be expected to have been

    obtained and taken into account by an entity preparing financial statements when they

    were authorised for issue, then the subsequent discovery is not evidence of a prior-

    period error.

    3. SPECIFIC STATEMENT OF FINANCIALPOSITION ITEMS

    3.1 General Currently effective: IAS 1

    Forthcoming:Amendments to IAS 32

    Format of the statement of financial position

    While IFRS requires certain items to be presented in the statement of financial position,

    there is no prescribed format.

    Generally, an entity presents its statement of financial position classified between

    current and non-current assets and liabilities. An unclassified statement of financial

    position based on the order of liquidity is acceptable only when it provides reliable and

    more relevant information.

    Current vs non-current

    An asset is classified as current if it is expected to be realised in the normal operating

    cycle, is held for trading, is expected to be realised within 12 months, or it is cash or a

    cash equivalent.

    A liability is classified as current if it is expected to be settled in the normal operatingcycle, is due within 12 months, or there are no unconditional rights to defer the

    settlement for at least 12 months.

    A liability that is payable on demand because certain conditions are breached isclassified as current even if the lender has agreed, after the end of the reporting period

    but before the financial statements are authorised for issue, not to demand repayment.

    Assets and liabilities that are part of working capital are classified as current even if they

    are due to be settled more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

    Offsetting

    A financial asset and a financial liability are offset if the criteria are met. However, non-

    financial assets and non-financial liabilities cannot be offset.

    3.3 Intangible assets and goodwill Currently effective: IFRS 3, IAS 38, IFRIC 12, SIC-32 Forthcoming: IFRS 13

    Definitions

    An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance.

    An intangible asset is identifiable if it is separable or arises from contractual or legal

    rights.

    Initial recognition and measurement

    In general, intangible assets are initially recognised at cost.

    The initial measurement of an intangible asset depends on whether it has been

    acquired separately, as part of a business combination, or was internally generated.

    Goodwill is recognised only in a business combination and is measured as a residual.

    Internal development expenditure is capitalised if specific criteria are met. Thesecapitalisation criteria are applied to all internally developed intangible assets.

    Internal research expenditure is expensed as incurred.

    Expenditure relating to the following is expensed as incurred:

    internally generated goodwill;

    customer lists;

    start-up costs;

    training costs;

    advertising and promotional activities; and

    relocation or a re-organisation.

    Indefinite useful lives

    Acquired goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not

    amortised, but instead are subject to impairment testing at least annually.

    Finite useful lives

    Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised over their expected useful lives.

    Subsequent expenditure

    Subsequent expenditure on an intangible asset is capitalised only if the definition of an

    intangible asset and the recognition criteria are met.

    Revaluations

    Intangible assets may be revalued to fair value only if there is an active market.

    Retirements and disposals

    The gain or loss on disposal is the difference between the net proceeds received and

    the carrying amount of the asset.

    3.4 Investment property Currently effective: IAS 40, IAS 16, IAS 17 Forthcoming: IFRS 13

    Scope

    Investment property is property (land or building) held to earn rentals or for capital

    appreciation, or both.

    Property held by a lessee under an operating lease may be classified as investment

    property if:

    the rest of the definition of investment property is met; and

    the lessee measures all of its investment property at fair value.

    A portion of a dual-use property is classified as investment property only if the portion

    could be sold or leased out under a finance lease. Otherwise, the entire property is

    classified as property, plant and equipment, unless the portion of the property used for

    own use is insignificant.

    When a lessor provides ancillary services, the property is classified as investment

    property if such services are a relatively insignificant component of the arrangement as

    a whole.

    Recognition and measurement

    Investment property is initially recognised at cost.

    Subsequent to initial recognition, all investment property is measured under either:

    the fair value model (subject to limited exceptions); or

    the cost model.

    When the fair value model is chosen, changes in fair value are recognised in profit or

    loss.

    Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that it will give rise to

    future economic benefits.

    Insights into IFRS: An overview | 31

    Reclassification

    Transfers to or from investment property can be made only when there has been a

    change in the use of the property.

    The intention to sell an investment property without redevelopment does not justify

    reclassification from investment property into inventory; the property continues to be

    classified as investment property until the time of disposal unless it is classified as held-

    for-sale.

    Disclosure Disclosure of the fair value of all investment property is required, regardless of the

    measurement model used.

    3.5 Investments in associates and the equity method Currently effective: IAS 28 Forthcoming: IAS 28 (2011), IFRS 9

    Definition

    The definition of an associate is based on significant influence, which is the power to

    participate in the financial and operating policies of an entity.

    There is a rebuttable presumption of significant influence if an entity holds 20 to

    50 percent of the voting rights of another entity.

    Potential voting rights that are currently exercisable are considered in assessing

    significant influence.

    Exceptions from applying the equity method

    Generally, associates are accounted for under the equity method in the consolidated

    financial statements.

    Venture capital organisations, mutual funds, unit trusts and similar entities may elect toaccount for investments in associates as financial assets.

    Equity accounting is not applied to an investee that is acquired with a view to its

    subsequent disposal if the criteria are met for classification as held-for-sale.

    Applying the equity method

    In applying the equity method, an associates accounting policies should be consistent

    with those of the investor. The end of an associates reporting period may not differ from that of the investor by

    more than three months, and should be consistent from period to period. Adjustments

    are made for the effects of significant events and transactions between the two dates.

    When an equity-accounted investee incurs losses, the carrying amount of the investors

    interest is reduced but not to below zero. Further losses are recognised by the investor

    only to the extent that the investor has an obligation to fund losses or has made

    payments on behalf of the investee.

    Unrealised profits and losses on transactions with associates are eliminated to the

    extent of the investors interest in the investee.

    Changes in the status of equity-accounted investees

    In our view, when an entity contributes a controlling interest in a subsidiary in exchange

    for an interest in an associate, the entity may choose either to recognise the gain or loss

    in full or to eliminate the gain or loss to the extent of the entitys interest in the investee.

    On the loss of significant influence,the fair value of any retained investment is taken

    into account in calculating the gain or loss on the transaction, as if the investment were

    fully disposed of; this gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts recognised in

    other comprehensive income are reclassified or transferred as required by other IFRSs.

    3.6 Investments in joint ventures and proportionateconsolidation Currently effective: IAS 31, SIC-13

    Forthcoming: IFRS 11, IAS 28 (2011)

    Definition

    A joint venture is an entity, asset or operation that is subject to contractually

    established joint control.

    Accounting for jointly controlled entities

    Jointly controlled entities may be accounted for either by proportionate consolidation or

    under the equity method in the consolidated financial statements.

    Venture capital organisations, mutual funds, unit trusts and similar entities may elect to

    account for investments in jointly controlled entities as financial assets.

    Proportionate consolidation is not applied to an investee that is acquired with a view to

    its subsequent disposal if the criteria are met for classification as held-for-sale.

    Unrealised profits and losses on transactions with jointly controlled entities are

    eliminated to the extent of the investors interest in the investee.

    Gains and losses on non-monetary contributions, other than a subsidiary, in return for

    an equity interest in a jointly controlled entity are generally eliminated to the extent of

    the investors interest in the investee.

    In our view, when an entity contributes a controlling interest in a subsidiary in exchange

    for an interest in a jointly controlled entity, the entity may choose either to recognise thegain or loss in full or to eliminate the gain or loss to the extent of the entitys interest in

    the investee.

    On the loss of joint control, the fair value of any retained investment is taken into

    account in calculating the gain or loss on the transaction; this gain or loss is recognisedin profit or loss. Amounts recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified or

    transferred as required by other IFRSs.

    3.6A Investments in joint arrangements: IFRS 11 Forthcoming: IFRS 11

    IFRS 11 Joint Arrangementsis not yet effective. It will be effective for annual periods

    beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

    Identifying joint arrangements

    A joint arrangement is an arrangement over which two or more parties have joint

    control. There are two types of joint arrangements: a joint operation and a jointventure.

    Classifying joint arrangements

    In a joint operation, the parties to the arrangement have rights to the assets and

    obligations for the liabilities, related to the arrangement.

    In a joint venture, the parties to the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the

    arrangement.

    A joint arrangement not structured through a separate vehicle is a joint operation.

    A joint arrangement structured through a separate vehicle may be either a joint

    operation or a joint venture. Classification depends on the legal form of the vehicle,

    contractual arrangements and other facts and circumstances.

    Accounting for joint arrangements

    Generally, a joint venturer accounts for its interest in a joint venture under the equity

    method in accordance with IAS 28 (2011).

    A joint operator recognises, in relation to its involvement in a joint operation, its

    assets, liabilities and transactions, including its share in those arising jointly. The joint

    operator accounts for each item in accordance with the relevant IFRSs.

    A party to ajoint operation, who does not have joint control, recognises its assets,

    liabilities and transactions, including its share in those arising jointly, if it has rights to

    the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the joint operation.

    A party to ajoint venture, who does not have joint control, accounts for its interest inaccordance with IAS 39, or IAS 28 (2011)if significant influence exists.

    3.8 Inventories Currently effective: IAS 2

    Measurement

    Generally, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

    Cost includes all direct expenditure to get inventory ready for sale, including

    attributable overheads.

    The cost of inventory is generally determined under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) orweighted-average method. The use of the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method is prohibited.

    Other cost formulas, such as the standard cost or retail methods, may be used when

    the results approximate the actual cost.

    Inventory is written down to net realisable value when net realisable value is less than

    cost.

    If the net realisable value of an item that has been written down subsequently

    increases, then the write-down is reversed.

    Recognition as an expense

    The cost of inventory is recognised as an expense when the inventory is sold.

    3.9 Biological assets Currently effective: IAS 41 Forthcoming: IFRS 13

    Scope

    Biological assets (living animals or plants) are in the scope of the standard if they are

    subject to a process of management of biological transformation.

    Measurement

    Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell unless it is not possible to

    measure fair value reliably, in which case they are measured at cost.

    Gains and losses from changes in fair value less costs to sell are recognised in profit or

    loss.

    Agricultural produce

    Agricultural produce harvested from a biological asset is measured at fair value lesscosts to sell at the point of harvest. Thereafter, the standard on inventories generally

    applies (see 3.8).

    3.10 Impairment of non-financial assets Currently effective: IAS 36, IFRIC 10 Forthcoming: IFRS 13, IFRS 11, IAS 27 (2011)

    Scope

    IAS 36covers the impairment of a variety of non-financial assets, including:

    property, plant and equipment;

    intangible assets and goodwill;

    investment property and biological assets carried at cost less accumulated

    depreciation; and

    investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates.

    Identifying the level at which assets are tested for impairment

    Whenever possible, an impairment test is performed for an individual asset. Otherwise,

    assets are tested for impairment in cash-generating units (CGUs). Goodwill is alwaystested for impairment at the level of a CGU or a group of CGUs.

    A CGU is the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use

    that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups thereof.

    Goodwill is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the

    synergies of the business combination from which it arose. The allocation is based on

    the level at which goodwill is monitored internally, restricted by the size of the entitys

    operating segments.

    Determining when to test for impairment

    Impairment testing is required when there is an indication of impairment.

    Annual impairment testing is required for goodwill and intangible assets that either are

    not yet available for use or have an indefinite useful life. This impairment test may be

    performed at any time during the year, provided that it is performed at the same time

    each year.

    Measuring an impairment loss

    An impairment loss is recognised if an assets or CGUs carrying amount exceeds the

    greater of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

    Fair value less costs to sell is based on market participant assumptions.

    Estimates of future cash flows used in the value in use calculation are specific to the

    entity, and need not be the same as those of market participants. The discount rate

    used in the value in use calculation reflects the markets assessment of the risks

    specific to the asset or CGU, as well as the time value of money.

    Recognising an impairment loss

    An impairment loss for a CGU is allocated first to any goodwill and then pro rata to other

    assets in the CGU that are within the scope of IAS 36.

    An impairment loss is generally recognised in profit or loss.

    Reversal of impairment

    Reversals of impairment are recognised, other than for impairments of goodwill.

    A reversal of an impairment loss is generally recognised in profit or loss.

    3.13 Income taxes Currently effective: IAS 12, SIC-25

    Scope

    Income taxes are taxes based on taxable profits, and taxes that are payable by a

    subsidiary, associate or joint venture on distribution to investors.

    Current tax

    Current tax represents the amount of income taxes payable (recoverable) in respect of

    the taxable profit (loss) for a period.

    Deferred tax

    Deferred tax is recognised for the estimated future tax effects of temporary

    differences, unused tax losses carried forward and unused tax credits carried forward.

    A deferred tax liability is not recognised if it arises from the initial recognition of

    goodwill.

    A deferred tax asset or liability is not recognised if:

    it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a

    business combination; and

    at the time of the transaction, it affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

    Deferred tax is not recognised in respect of investments in subsidiaries, associates and

    joint ventures if certain conditions are met.

    A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probablethat it will be realised.

    Measurement

    Current and deferred tax are measured based on rates that are enacted or substantively

    enacted at the end of the reporting period.

    Deferred tax is measured based on the expected manner of settlement (liability) or

    recovery (asset).

    Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis.

    Classification and presentation

    The total income tax expense (income) recognised in a period is the sum of current

    tax plus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period, excluding

    tax recognised outside profit or loss (i.e. in other comprehensive income or directly in

    equity) or arising from a business combination.

    Income tax related to items recognised outside profit or loss is itself recognised outside

    profit or loss.

    Deferred tax is classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position.

    An entity offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities only when it has a legally

    enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and it

    intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability

    simultaneously.

    4. SPECIFIC STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVEINCOME ITEMS

    4.1 General Currently effective: IAS 1

    Forthcoming:Amendments to IAS 1, IFRS 9

    Format of the statement of comprehensive income

    A statement of comprehensive income is presented either as a single statement or in

    the form of two statements, comprising an income statement (displaying components

    of profit or loss) and a separate statement of comprehensive income (beginning with

    profit or loss and displaying the components of other comprehensive income).

    While IFRS requires certain items to be presented in the statement of comprehensive

    income, there is no prescribed format.

    Additional line items are presented when they are relevant to understanding the entitysfinancial performance.

    Use of the description unusual or exceptional

    In our view, use of the terms unusual or exceptional should be infrequent and

    reserved for items that justify a greater prominence.

    Extraordinary items

    The presentation or disclosure of items of income and expense characterised asextraordinary items is prohibited.

    Alternative earnings measures

    The presentation of alternative earnings measures (e.g. EBITDA) in the statement of

    comprehensive income is not prohibited, although national regulators may have more

    restrictive requirements.

    Offsetting

    Items of income and expense are not offset unless this is required or permitted by another

    IFRS, or when the amounts relate to similar transactions or events that are not material.

    Other comprehensive income

    Other comprehensive income comprises items of income and expenses, including

    4.2 Revenue Currently effective: IAS 11, IAS 18, IFRIC 13, IFRIC 15, IFRIC 18 Forthcoming: IFRS 13

    Overall approach

    Revenue is recognised only if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to

    the entity and these benefits can be measured reliably.

    When an arrangement includes more than one component, it may be necessary to

    account for the revenue attributable to each component separately.

    When two or more transactions are linked so that the individual transactions have no

    commercial effect on their own, they are analysed as one arrangement.

    Measurement

    Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received, taking into account any

    trade discounts and volume rebates.

    Revenue recognition does not require cash consideration. However, when goods orservices exchanged are similar in nature and value, the transaction does not generate

    revenue.

    Sale of goods

    Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the entity has transferred the

    significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer and it no longer retains control

    or has managerial involvement in the goods.

    Construction contracts

    Construction contracts are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method.

    The completed-contract method is not permitted.

    Service contracts

    Revenue from service contracts is recognised in the period during which the service is

    rendered, generally under the percentage-of-completion method.

    Gross vs net presentation

    Revenue comprises the gross inflows of economic benefits received by an entity for its

    own account.

    In an agency relationship, amounts collected on behalf of the principal are not

    recognised as revenue by the agent.

    4.4 Employee benefits Currently effective: IAS 19, IFRIC 14 Forthcoming: IAS 19 (2011), IFRS 10, IFRS 13

    Scope

    IFRS specifies accounting requirements for all types of employee benefits, and not

    just pensions. IAS 19deals with all employee benefits, except those to which IFRS 2

    applies.

    Definitions

    Post-employment benefits are employee benefits that are payable after the completion

    of employment (before or during retirement).

    A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the

    employer pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and has no further obligations.

    All other post-employment plans are defined benefit plans.

    Short-term employee benefits are employee benefits that are due to be settled within12 months of the end of the period in which the services have been rendered.

    Other long-term employee benefits are employee benefits that are not due to be

    settled within 12 months of the end of the period in which the services have been

    rendered.

    Recognition

    Liabilities for employee benefits are recognised on the basis of a legal or constructive

    obligation.

    Liabilities and expenses for employee benefits are generally recognised in the period in

    which the services are rendered.

    The costs of providing employee benefits are generally expensed unless other IFRSs

    permit or require capitalisation.

    Contributions to a defined contribution plan are expensed as the obligation to make the

    payments is incurred.

    53/112

    Insights into IFRS: An overview | 51

    2012 KPMG IFRG Limited, a UK company, limited by guarantee. All rights reserved.

    Defined benefit plans

    Recognition

    A liability is recognised for an employers obligation under a defined benefit plan.

    Measurement

    The liability and expense are measured actuarially under the projected unit credit

    method.

    Presentation

    Assets that meet the definition of plan assets, including qualifying insurance policies,

    and the related liabilities are presented on a net basis in the statement of financial

    position.

    Actuarial gains and losses

    Actuarial gains and losses of defined benefit plans may be recognised in profit or

    loss, or immediately in other comprehensive income. Amounts recognised in other

    comprehensive income are not reclassified to profit or loss.

    If actuarial gains and losses of a defined benefit plan are recognised in profit or loss,

    then as a minimum gains and losses that exceed a corridor are required to be

    recognised over the average remaining working lives of employees in the plan. Faster

    recognition (including immediate recognition) in profit or loss is permitted.

    Past service cost

    Liabilities and expenses for vested past service costs under a defined benefit plan arerecognised immediately.

    Liabilities and expenses for unvested past service costs under a defined benefit plan arerecognised over the vesting period.

    Asset ceiling

    If a defined benefit plan has assets in excess of the obligation, then the amount of

    any net asset recognised is limited to available economic benefits from the plan in the

    form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan, andunrecognised actuarial losses and past service costs.

    4.4A Employee benefits: IAS 19 (2011) Forthcoming: IAS 19 (2011)

    IAS 19 (2011) Employee Benefitsis not yet effective. It will be effective for annual periods

    beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Below is an overview of the significant changesto

    the currently effective requirements included in 4.4.

    Definitions

    The distinction between short-term and other long-term employee benefits dependson when the entity expects the benefits to be settled.

    Defined benefit plans

    Recognition

    The corridor method is eliminated and actuarial gains and losses are recognised

    immediately in other comprehensive income.

    All changes in the value of the defined benefit obligation and the plan assets arerecognised immediately, subject to the effect of the asset ceiling.

    All past service costs, including unvested amounts, are recognised immediately.

    Curtailments and other plan amendments are recognised at the same time as a

    related restructuring or related termination benefits when those occur before the

    curtailment or other plan amendments occur.

    Measurement

    The total return on plan assets is determined by applying the liability discount rate

    rather than the long-term rate of expected return on plan assets.

    The costs of managing plan assets reduce returns on plan assets. Other

    administration costs are expensed through profit or loss immediately. The currently

    permitted inclusion of such costs within the measurement of the defined benefit

    obligation or their deduction from the return on plan assets is removed.

    Taxes payable by the plan on contributions relating to service are considered in

    measuring current service cost and the defined benefit obligation. All other taxespayable by the plan are included in the return on plan assets.

    56/112

    54 | Insights into IFRS: An overview

    2012 KPMG IFRG Limited, a UK company, limited by guarantee. All rights reserved.

    Presentation

    The cost of defined benefit plans includes the following components:

    service cost recognised in profit or loss;

    net interest on net defined benefit liability (asset) recognised in profit or loss;

    and

    remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset) recognised in other

    comprehensive income.

    Termination benefits

    A termination benefit is recognised at the earlier of:

    the date on which the entity recognises costs for a restructuring within the

    scope of the provisions standard that includes the payment of termination

    benefits; and

    the date on which the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination

    benefits.

    4.5 Share-based payments Currently effective: IFRS 2 Forthcoming: IFRS 9, IFRS 10

    Basic principles

    Goods or services received in a share-based payment transaction are measured at fair

    value.

    Equity-settled transactions with employees are generally measured based on the grant-

    date fair value of the equity instruments granted.

    Equity-settled transactions with non-employees are generally measured based on the

    fair value of the goods or services obtained.

    Equity-settled transactions with employees

    For equity-settled transactions, an entity recognises a cost and a corresponding

    increase in equity. The cost is recognised as an expense unless it qualifies for

    recognition as an asset. Initial estimates of the number of equity-settled instruments that are expected to vest

    are adjusted to current estimates and ultimately to the actual number of equity-settled

    instruments that vest unless differences are due to market conditions.

    Cash-settled transactions with employees

    For cash-settled transactions, an entity recognises a cost and a corresponding liability.

    The cost is recognised as an expense unless it qualifies for recognition as an asset.

    The liability is remeasured, until settlement date, for subsequent changes in the fair

    value of the liability. The remeasurements are recognised in profit or loss.

    Employee transactions with a choice of settlement

    Grants in which the counterparty has the choice of equity or cash settlement are

    accounted for as compound instruments. Therefore, the entity accounts for a liabilitycomponent and an equity component separately.

    Classification of grants in which the entity has the choice of equity or cash settlementdepends on whether the entity has the ability and intent to settle in shares.

    2012 KPMG IFRG Limited, a UK company, limited by guarantee. All rights reserved.

    Modifications and cancellations of employee transactions

    Modification of a share-based payment results in the recognition of any incremental

    fair value but not any reduction in fair value. Replacements are accounted for as

    modifications.

    Cancellation of a share-based payment results in accelerated recognition of any

    unrecognised expense.

    Group share-based payments arrangements

    A share-based payment transaction in which the receiving entity, the reference entityand the settling entity are in the same group from the perspective of the ultimate parent

    is a group share-based payment transaction and is accounted for as such by both the

    receiving and the settling entities.

    A share-based payment that is settled by a shareholder external to the group is also

    in the scope of IFRS 2from the perspective of the receiving entity, as long as the

    reference entity is in the same group as the receiving entity.

    A receiving entity without any obligation to settle the transaction classifies a share-

    based payment transaction as equity-settled.

    A settling entity classifies a share-based payment transaction as equity-settled if it is

    obliged to settle in its own equity instruments and otherwise as cash-settled.

    Share-based payments with non-employees

    Goods are recognised when they are obtained and services are recognised over theperiod that they are received.

    4.6 Borrowing costs Currently effective: IAS 23

    Scope

    Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or

    production of a qualifying asset generally form part of the cost of that asset.

    Qualifying assets

    A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to be made

    ready for its intended use or sale.

    Borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation

    Borrowing costs may include interest calculated under the effective interest method,

    certain finance charges and certain foreign exchange differences.

    Borrowing costs are reduced by interest income from the temporary investment of

    borrowings.

    Period of capitalisation

    Capitalisation begins when an entity meets all of the following conditions:

    expenditures for the asset are being incurred;

    borrowing costs are being incurred; and

    activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in

    progress.

    Capitalisation ceases when the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended

    use or sale are substantially complete.

    5. SPECIAL TOPICS

    5.1 Leases Currently effective: IAS 17, IFRIC 4, SIC-15, SIC-27

    Forthcoming: IFRS 10

    Definition

    An arrangement that at its inception can be fulfilled only through the use of a specificasset or assets, and that conveys a right to use that asset or those assets, is a lease or

    contains a lease.

    Classification of leases

    A lease is classified as either a finance lease or an operating lease.

    Lease classification depends on whether substantially all of the risks and rewards

    incidental to ownership of the leased asset have been transferred from the lessor to the

    lessee.

    Lease classification is made at inception of the lease and is not revised unless the lease

    agreement is modified.

    Accounting for leases

    Under a finance lease, the lessor derecognises the leased asset and recognises a

    finance lease receivable; the lessee recognises the leased asset and a liability for future

    lease payments. Under an operating lease, both parties treat the lease as an executor contract. The

    lessor and the lessee recognise the lease payments as income/expense over the lease

    term. The lessor recognises the leased asset in its statement of financial position; the

    lessee does not.

    A lessee may classify a property interest held under an operating lease as an

    investment property. If this is done, then the lessee accounts for that lease as if it

    were a finance lease, measures investment property using the fair value model and

    recognises a lease liability for future lease payments.

    Lessors and lessees recognise incentives granted to a lessee under an operating lease

    as a reduction in lease rental income/expense over the lease term.

    A lease of land with a building is treated as two separate leases: a lease of the land and

    a lease of the building; the two leases may be classified differently.

    In determining whether the lease of land is a finance lease or an operating lease, an

    important consideration is that land normally has an indefinite economic life.

    Immediate gain recognition from the sale and leaseback of an asset depends on

    whether the leaseback is classified as a finance or as an operating lease and, if the

    leaseback is an operating lease, whether the sale takes place at fair value.

    A series of linked transactions in the legal form of a lease is accounted for based on the

    substance of the arrangement; the substance may be that the series of transactions is

    not a lease.

    Special requirements for revenue recognition apply to manufacturer or dealer lessors

    granting finance leases.

    5.2 Operating segments Currently effective: IFRS 8

    Scope

    Segment disclosures are presented by entities whose debt or equity instruments

    are traded in a public market or that file, or are in the process of filing, their financial

    statements with a securities commission or other regulatory organisation for the

    purpose of issuing any class of instruments in a public market.

    Management approach

    Segment disclosures are provided about the components of the entity that

    management monitors in making decisions about operating matters i.e. they follow a

    management approach.

    Such components (operating segments) are identified on the basis of internal reports

    that the entitys chief operating decision maker (CODM) regularly reviews in allocating

    resources to segments and in assessing their performance.

    Aggregation of operating segments

    The aggregation of operating segments is permitted only when the segments have

    similar economic characteristics and meet a number of other specified criteria.

    Determination of reportable segments

    Reportable segments are identified based on quantitative thresholds of revenue, profit

    or loss, or assets.

    Segment disclosure information

    The amounts disclosed for each reportable segment are the measures reported to

    the CODM, which are not necessarily based on the same accounting policies as the

    amounts recognised in the financial statements.

    Because disclosures of segment profit or loss, segment assets and segment liabilities

    as reported to the CODM are required, rather than as they would be reported under

    IFRS, disclosure of how these amounts are measured for each reportable segment isalso required.

    2012 KPMG IFRG Limited, a UK company, limited by guarantee. All rights reserved.

    Reconciliations between total amounts for all reportable segments and financial

    statements amounts are disclosed with a description of all material reconciling items.

    General and entity-wide disclosures include information about products and services,

    geographical areas (including country of domicile and individual foreign countries, if

    material), major customers and factors used to identify an entitys reportable segments.

    Such disclosures are required even if an entity has only one segment.

    Comparative information

    Comparative information is normally restated for changes in reportable segments.

    5.3 Earnings per share Currently effective: IAS 33 Forthcoming: IFRS 10

    Scope

    Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) are presented by entities whose ordinary

    shares or potential ordinary shares are traded in a public market or that file, or are in

    the process of filing, their financial statements for the purpose of issuing any class of

    ordinary shares in a public market.

    Basic EPS

    Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to holders of ordinary equity

    of the parent by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during

    the period.

    Diluted EPS

    To calculate diluted EPS, profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders, and the

    weighted-average number of shares outstanding, are adjusted for the effects of all

    dilutive potential ordinary shares.

    Potential ordinary shares are considered dilutive only when they decrease EPS or

    increase loss per share from continuing operations. In determining if potential ordinary

    shares are dilutive, each issue or series of potential ordinary shares is considered

    separately rather than in aggregate.

    Contingently issuable ordinary shares are included in basic EPS from the date on whichall necessary conditions are satisfied and, when they are not yet satisfied, in diluted EPS

    based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period

    were the end of the contingency period.

    When a contract may be settled in either cash or shares at the entitys option, the

    presumption is that it will be settled in ordinary shares and the resulting potential

    ordinary shares are used to calculate diluted EPS.

    When a contract may be settled in either cash or shares at the holders option, the more

    dilutive of cash and share settlement is used to calculate diluted EPS.

    For diluted EPS, diluted potential ordinary shares are determined independently for

    each period presented.

    Retrospective adjustment

    When the number of ordinary shares outstanding changes, without a corresponding

    change in resources, the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding

    during all periods presented is adjusted retrospectively for both basic and diluted EPS.

    Presentation and disclosures

    Basic and diluted EPS for both continuing and total operations are presented in the

    statement of comprehensive income, with equal prominence, for each class of ordinary

    shares that has a differing right to share in the profit or loss for the period. Separate EPS information is disclosed for discontinued operations, either in the

    statement of comprehensive income or in the notes to the financial statements.

    Adjusted basic and diluted EPS based on alternative earnings measures may be

    disclosed and explained in the notes to the financial statements.

    5.5 Related party disclosures Currently effective: IAS 24

    Identifying related parties

    Related party relationships are those involving control (direct or indirect), joint control

    or significant influence.

    Key management personnel and their close family members are parties related to an

    entity.

    Recognition and measurement

    There are no special recognition or measurement requirements for related party

    transactions.

    Disclosures

    The disclosure of related party relationships between a parent and its subsidiaries is

    required, even if there have been no transactions between them.

    No disclosure is required in consolidated financial statements of intra-group

    transactions eliminated in preparing those statements.

    Comprehensive disclosures of related party transactions are required for each category

    of related party relationship.

    Key management personnel compensation is disclosed in total and is analysed by

    component.

    In certain instances, government-related entities are allowed to provide less detaileddisclosures on related party transactions.
