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. 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.

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.

2.5A Consolidation: IFRS 10 Forthcoming: IFRS 10, IFRS 12
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statementsand IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other
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.

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.

40 | Insights into IFRS: An overview

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.

44 | Insights into IFRS: An overview
2012 KPMG IFRG Limited, a UK company, limited by guarantee. All rights reserved.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
