International Financial Reporting Standards
The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a set of financial reporting rules developed by the International Financial Reporting Standards Committee. As of 1 January 2005, IFRS are binding on all companies whose securities are traded in the capital markets of the European Union (EU).
The main differences between IFRS and Russian accounting rules are:
In accordance with IFRS, the perimeter of consolidated financial statements must include not only the parent and subsidiary companies (as a rule, with a share of more than 50%), but also companies over which there is actual control in the absence of direct legal control. In addition, there are accounting rules for companies in which the parent company owns less than 50%
The tax authorities continue to be the main users of RAS financial statements, while IFRS clearly distinguishes between accounting and tax accounting. The main users of IFRS statements are investors who either invest in the company's shares or provide it with debt financing
Most IFRSs actively promote the principle of accounting for the assets and liabilities of companies at the lower of fair (market) value and recoverable amount
IFRS has a clear set of rules for accounting for acquisitions of companies, which in some cases require the preparation of an independent assessment of the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies
IFRS require recognition or at least disclosure in situations where there is even a small probability of cash outflows from the company. An example is the need to create a reserve in the reporting if there is a possibility of an adverse outcome of the lawsuit. This leads to the fact that, all other things being equal, the results of IFRS activities will be more conservative than RAS
Due to the great development of financial markets, IFRS has a structured set of rules for accounting for both standard financial instruments (receivables from customers, loans issued and received) and derivative financial instruments (futures, options, etc.)
IFRS has rules for accounting for a number of non-standard for RAS transactions, including separate rules for accounting for pension assets and liabilities, accounting for operations in agriculture, investment real estate, etc.
IFRS require the reflection of business transactions in accordance with their essence, despite their formal organization
Preparation of reports and provision of consulting services under IFRS is the main activity of ADE Professional Solutions.
