Wiley IFRS 2007: Interpretation and Application of International Financial Reporting Standards

Book Description

Your one indispensable guide to IFRS compliance

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), originally known as International Accounting Standards (IAS), have existed since the mid-1970s but have only received significant attention from standard-setters, preparers, and users of financial statements in recent years. The IASB's restructuring in 2001 introduced due process procedures which conveyed added credibility upon the standards it promulgated, while other events, such as the epidemic of financial reporting frauds in the late 1990s and early 2000s helped foster the perception that the diversity of national financial reporting standards needed to be addressed and resolved, to ease the burden of investors and facilitate the international flow of capital. Seminal events included the qualified acceptance of IFRS by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), and the mandate for all European Union-chartered publicly-held companies to report consolidated financial statements under IFRS beginning in 2005. As other major nations either formally adopt IFRS (e.g., China) or heavily incorporate them into nominally national GAAP (e.g., Australia), and as several major private sector standard setters (in the US and UK, most notably) have committed to "converge" to IFRS, the importance of IFRS to the future of financial reporting is assured.

Wiley IFRS 2007 is the comprehensive source for guidance in applying IFRS to complex, real-world fact situations, and is equally valuable for preparers, auditors, and users of financial reports. To facilitate the reader's understanding, both examples created to explain particular IFRS requirements, and selections from actual published financial statements, are copiously provided throughout the book, illustrating all key concepts. Also included in this edition are a revised, comprehensive disclosure checklist; an updated, detailed comparison between US GAAP and IFRS, keyed to chapter topics; and discussions of major ongoing IASB projects which may have significant impact on readers' responsibilities over the coming year, including IASB's controversial attempt to define IFRS for smaller companies.

The revised 2007 edition addresses important and complex requirements such as those pertaining to the accounting for:
* Financial instruments
* Loss contingencies
* Business combinations
* Employee benefits
* Foreign currency-based transactions

The 2007 edition continues detailed coverage of all previously issued IAS and IFRS standards and SIC and IFRIC interpretations, including the complex but important financial instruments guidance of IAS 32, IAS 39, and IFRS 7. New examples have been added to every chapter. Other complex areas of financial reporting receiving expansive coverage include:
* Leases
* Revenue recognition
* Employee benefits
* Consolidated financial reporting
* Impairment of assets
* Agriculture
* Insurance
* Extraction of minerals

Customer Reviews:

Not a good source of information on FAS 52.......2006-07-17

The following statement from the editorial review is completely misleading.

"With essential information on the proper rules and regulations needed to comply with FAS 52, SAP Foreign Currency Revaluation: FAS 52 and GAAP Requirements is a valuable reference for controllers, CFOs, IT and accounting managers, and SAP consultants who are involved in FAS 52 compliance projects, regardless of whether their companies are using SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft, or proprietary software."

There is nothing in this book of value to a CFO, IT or Accounting manager. Only 4 pages in the entire book discussing the implications of FAS 52.

Book Description

With the completion of the stable platform of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) in 2004, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) established itself as a world leader in the preparation of financial reporting standards. As many countries agreed to adopt these standards, many influential national standard-setters such as the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand acknowledged that the time had come for an international approach to standard setting. This process is ongoing.

Applying International Financial Reporting Standards Enhanced Edition is written to meet the needs of accounting students and practitioners in understanding the complexities of IFRSs and applying the stable platform of standards. It concentrates on those financial reporting standards that are not related to specific industries and that therefore have wide application. This edition includes the numerous revisions and releases of exposure drafts since the introduction of IFRSs in January 2005.

Features:

New chapters on Revenue Recognition and Share-Based Payments
Revised to reflect the Exposure Draft of Proposed Amendments to IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
Practical applications for all accounting standards are included
The IFRSs and their scope, objectives and reporting requirements are analysed step by step
Illustrative examples show the new financial reporting procedures and develop understanding of the new processes
New extracts from real world companies included to enable students to apply the intention of the Standard as well illustrate how the Standard translates to the reporting environment (some new, some updated: Nokia, Wella, Energy Sector)
