On January 1, 2016, the new IFRS 14 “Tariff Deferral Accounts” (hereinafter referred to as IFRS 14) came into force (in the Russian Federation adopted in accordance with Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated December 17, 2014 N 151n), as well as a number of amendments to existing standards. Let's consider the most significant changes developed by the IFRS Board (International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), hereinafter referred to as IASB), which may be relevant for companies applying IFRS.

Changes in accounting for assets and liabilities related to tariff regulation

In many countries, certain industries (for example, utilities or transport services) are subject to tariff regulation by the government or regulatory authorities. They set limits for companies in these industries on the volumes they can supply and the prices they charge to customers.

Previously, IFRS did not have a standard for accounting for assets and liabilities related to tariff regulation. However, some national standards accounting contain requirements for the need to recognize the latter on the balance sheet.

Preparers of IFRS financial statements often ask: Do these assets and liabilities meet the relevant definition in the IFRS Conceptual Framework? The answer was very important, since the inability to recognize such assets and liabilities served as an obstacle to the application of IFRS.

To address this problem, IFRS 14 was introduced, which allowed a limited number of companies to use accounting policies based on national accounting standards for the recognition, measurement and impairment of tariff-related assets and liabilities.

The scope of IFRS 14 is very narrow and only covers companies:

first time users of IFRS;

  • carrying out activities subject to tariff regulation;
  • Recognizing amounts that qualify as regulatory deferral account balances in financial statements prepared in accordance with previously generally accepted accounting principles.

When applying IFRS 14, a company should account for assets and liabilities separately in Regulatory Deferral Accounts. In this case, “Regulatory deferral accounts”, as well as the corresponding impact on profits or losses, are reflected separately from other lines of the financial statements.

Please note that the above rules are only available to companies applying IFRS for the first time. Their financial statements will be comparable to the financial statements of other organizations due to the fact that all other lines and subtotals will exclude the impact of deferred tariff differences.

Information on the possible connection of IFRS 14 with certain other standards due to its application is presented in paragraphs 16-17 of IFRS 14 (Appendix B) and concerns adaptation in accounting policies to national standards. Thus, when adapting, the following standards should be taken into account:

  • IAS 10 Events after the end of the reporting period;
  • IAS 12 Income Taxes;
  • IAS 33 Earnings per Share;
  • IAS 36 Impairment of Assets;
  • IFRS 3 Business Combinations;
  • IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations;
  • IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures;
  • IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities.
  • IFRS 14 contains certain requirements for disclosure of information in financial statements, in particular:

About the nature of tariff regulation, which sets restrictions on prices for buyers, and the risks associated with it;

On the impact of tariff regulation on the reporting financial situation, income statement and flow statement Money.

In addition, the disclosures in the financial statements will require a detailed explanation of the amounts recognized. For example, each Regulatory Deferral Account requires disclosure of the basis of initial and subsequent recognition and measurement, including information about impairment. For each type of activity related to tariff regulation, for each class of balances in the “Deferred Tariff Difference Accounts” it is necessary to disclose:

  • reconciliation of the book value at the beginning and end of the period (preferably in tabular form);
  • rate of return or discount rate;
  • the remaining periods over which the company expects to recover (or amortize) book value each class of debit balances in the regulatory deferral account or restore each class of credit balances in the regulatory deferral account.

Note that IFRS 14 does not contain specific requirements transition period. For companies applying IFRS for the first time, an exemption from the requirements of IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter referred to as IFRS 1) will be available, including, in particular, the use of a current balance formed under previously applied national rules accounting, as the conditional value of fixed assets and intangible assets.

The accounting procedure for reclassifying assets under IFRS 5 is clarified

As part of the "Annual Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards, period 2012-2014." (Annual Improvements (2012-2014)), issued by the IASB on 25 September 2014, amended IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (IFRS 5) to clarifying that reclassifying an asset (or disposal group) from held for sale to held for distribution to owners, or vice versa, does not change the nature of the original plans for disposal. Accordingly, companies may apply all of the requirements (classification, presentation and evaluation) of the standard that are relevant to the “held for sale” category. For example, if an asset is no longer classified as held for distribution to owners, then the requirements of IFRS 5 for assets that are no longer classified as held for sale should be applied.

The amendment is applied prospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (IAS 8), meaning an entity may:

  • apply the new accounting policy to transactions, other events and conditions that occurred after the date on which the policy changed (from 01/01/2016);
  • Recognize the effect of a change in accounting estimates in the current and future periods affected by the change (that is, without affecting prior periods).

Clarifications on the treatment of continuing participation rights

As part of the Annual Improvements (2012-2014) to IFRS 7" Financial instruments: Disclosure" amendments have been made to clarify the circumstances in which an entity retains the right to service a transferred financial asset (continuing involvement). The clarifications adopted are necessary when taking into account the derecognition requirements of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement ( hereinafter referred to as IAS 39) and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (hereinafter referred to as IFRS 9).

Continuing involvement occurs when the entity continues to service the transferred financial asset and maintains a long-term interest in the financial results that can be obtained from it.

Continuing involvement in financial assets occurs when the consideration of the transferor financial asset:

  • is variable and depends on the amount of receipt cash flows on the transferred financial asset;
  • or is fixed but not payable in in full, if the transferred asset has bad financial results.

The amendment is applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8, except for periods beginning before the annual period in which the entity first uses it. A corresponding amendment has been made to IFRS 1 for first-time adopters of IFRS. Thus, companies do not need to determine the fair value of servicing in prior periods.

Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits

The amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits address actuarial assumptions on the discount rate and clarify that high quality corporate bonds used to determine the discount rate (the value required to account for employee benefits) must be denominated in the same currency , as well as related future employee benefits. If a jurisdiction does not have a sufficiently developed market for high-quality corporate bonds denominated in a particular currency, the market yield (at the end of the reporting period) of government bonds denominated in that currency should be used.

The amendments are applied retrospectively (in accordance with IAS 8) from the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the first financial statements in which the entity applied the amendment.

Changes to the equity method in the separate financial statements

The amendments to IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (IAS 27) were prompted by requests from stakeholders in countries where the only difference between mandatory separate financial statements under national standards and separate financial statements under IFRS is the use of the equity method. participation.

The changes make it possible to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates using the equity method (as described in IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures) in separate financial statements, which in turn reduces the cost of preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS for companies from such countries.

Note that the standards still do not require the mandatory preparation of separate financial statements. However, if the amendments are applied, the approach specified in them must be used for all types of investments. Previously, a company could account for such investments only at actual cost or in accordance with IFRS 9 (IAS 39).

The amendment is applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8. It can also be applied early.

Disclosures outside the notes to interim financial statements

As amended by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, additional disclosure of significant events and transactions may be provided in the notes to the interim financial statements or elsewhere in the interim financial report.

If disclosures are made in another report, they must be made available to users of the financial statements on the same terms and within the same time frames as the interim financial statements. Otherwise, its set is incomplete.

The amendment is applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8.

Accounting for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation the activities of which constitute a business

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (IFRS 11) does not currently provide guidance on a party to a joint transaction's accounting for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation when the activity in that transaction constitutes a business as that term is defined. specified in IFRS 3 Business Combinations (hereinafter referred to as IFRS 3).

Important!

A business is an integrated set of activities and assets, the conduct and management of which has the potential to generate income in the form of dividends, cost reductions or any other economic benefit, directly from investors or other owners, participants or members.

As a result, in practice, various approaches are used to account for the purchase of an interest in jointly controlled transactions that meet the definition of a business, including:

  • excess payment over the fair price of identifiable net assets admit either on a separate line as goodwill, or distributed proportionally to other identifiable assets;
  • deferred taxes are recognized or not recognized;
  • acquisition-related costs are capitalized or expensed.

When an entity acquires an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a business as defined in IFRS 3, an entity shall apply the principles of that standard to account for the acquisition and disclose relevant information.

At the same time, new paragraphs B33A-B33D have been added to the guidance on the application of IFRS 11, which clarify the following points.

1. Certain accounting principles for business combinations that may be applicable to the accounting for the purchase of an interest in a joint operation constituting a business, namely:

  • measurement at fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities other than items for which exceptions are provided in IFRS 3 and other IFRSs

recognition of costs associated with the acquisition of a share,

  • as an expense in the income statement in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the related services received (except that the costs of issuing debt or equity securities are recognized in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: presentation of information" and IFRS 9);
  • recognition of deferred tax assets and deferred tax obligations that arise on initial recognition of assets or liabilities (except for deferred tax liabilities arising on initial recognition of goodwill);

recognition of goodwill;

  • Carrying out an impairment test for the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill was allocated (at least annually, as required by IAS 36 Impairment of Assets).

2. The principles of IFRS 3 should be applied when forming a joint operation if, in accordance with this standard, the existing business is a contribution to at least one party (participant in a joint operation).

3. The principles of IFRS 3 do not apply if a participant in a joint operation (the activities of which constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3) increases its interest in it and if the participant retains joint control over it.

4. The requirements of IFRS 3 do not apply if the parties to a joint operation are under common control of the same party(ies) who has ultimate control before and after the acquisition of the interest, and such control is of an ongoing nature.

In addition, a concomitant amendment has been made to IFRS 1 to ensure that the exemption from IFRS 3 for past business combinations also applies to past acquisitions of interests in a joint operation where the activity constitutes a business. .

The amendments to IFRS 11 apply prospectively. This means they can be used to purchase interests in joint operations that constitute a business as defined by IFRS 3 if the acquisition date is on or after the start of the first annual reporting period (in which case reporting period starts on 01/01/2016 or later). Early application is also permitted but must be disclosed in the financial statements.

Clarification of acceptable depreciation and depreciation methods

In 2011, the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) received a request for clarification of the meaning of the term "consumption of future economic benefits embodied in an asset" in IAS 38. Intangible assets" (hereinafter - IAS 38) in the case of determining the appropriate method of depreciation. In turn, the IASB amended IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (hereinafter IAS 16) and IAS 38.

The amendments to IAS 16 clarify that the revenue-based method of depreciation is not permitted because revenue generated by the activities in which the asset is used typically reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset. For example, revenue is affected by:

  • other resources and processes used;
  • sales activities;
  • changes in sales volumes and prices;
  • inflation.

The amendments to IAS 38 introduce a rebuttable presumption that the use of the revenue-based method of amortization for an intangible asset (IAS) is not permissible and can only be rebutted in limited circumstances, namely:

  • if the intangible asset is expressed as an estimate of revenue;
  • or when it can be demonstrated that revenue and consumption of economic benefits from intangible assets are highly correlated.

For example, a company may be licensed to collect tolls for the use of a bridge. At the same time, the license allows for the collection of duties until the final amount determined by the agreement is reached.

As a result of the amendments, IAS 38 also includes guidance that the appropriate depreciation method can be determined based on the “predominant limiting factor” of the asset's use. Such factors are the following.

1. A contractual term that limits the duration of the right to use an asset (for example, in a contract establishing a company's rights to use intangible assets, the latter may be expressed as a certain number of years (i.e. time), number of units produced, or a fixed total amount revenue that will be generated by the asset). Determining such a predominant limiting factor can serve as a starting point for determining the allowable basis for depreciation. However, a different basis may be used if it more clearly reflects the expected pattern of consumption of economic benefits.

2. Number of units allowed to be produced.

3. A fixed total amount of revenue that is allowed to be generated. For example, the source of revenue is a production license or operating right. In both cases, revenue is limited to a fixed total amount.

Amendments to both standards apply prospectively. However, their early use is permitted.

A change in the current method of depreciation or amortization resulting from the amendments will be applied to the current amounts of assets and the effect of the change will be accounted for as a change in accounting estimates in accordance with IAS 8 from the date of initial application (the beginning of the annual period beginning on or after 01/01/2016 this date). This will require disclosure of the nature and amount of changes in accounting estimates in accordance with paragraph 39 of IAS 8, or the nature and amount of those changes that are expected to have an effect in future periods (if practicable).

Changes in the accounting of fruit crops (agricultural industry)

Before the amendments to IAS 16, fruit crops should have been accounted for in accordance with IAS 41." Agriculture". All biological assets were measured at fair value less costs to sell (except in rare cases where the assumption that fair value could be measured reliably was rebutted). The valuation principle was based on the assumption that the transformation of biological assets into the best may be expressed in a fair value measurement.

However, during public discussions, the IASB received inquiries from stakeholders about the appropriateness of fair value measurement for mature biological assets. Many discussants insisted that the use of biological assets in the production process is similar to the use of property, plant and equipment and, therefore, for mature biological assets, it would be appropriate to apply the amortized cost model in IAS 16. In addition, some companies value biological assets at fair value is expensive and difficult to apply because there is no active market for some types of biological assets.

As a result of the amendments, fruit crops should be accounted for in accordance with IAS 16 as property, plant and equipment, namely:

  • based on actual costs;
  • at a revalued value.

Thus, the scope of IAS 16 has been expanded. It included fruit crops (as a result, they are excluded from the scope of IAS 41) and added their definition.

According to IAS 16, a fruit crop is a living plant that:

  • used for the production or receipt of agricultural products;
  • expected to bear fruit for more than one (annual) period;
  • has a remote likelihood of being sold as an agricultural product (except by-product sales as waste).

Please note that IAS 41 lists some plants that do not meet the definition of fruit crops and are consumable biological assets:

  • plants that will be obtained (collected) as agricultural products (for example, trees grown for the purpose of timber harvesting);
  • plants grown for the purpose of obtaining (collecting) agricultural products, when the likelihood that the company in the distant future will also be able to obtain (collect) and sell the plants (in addition to selling waste) is very low;
  • annual crops (such as corn and wheat).

Before fruit crops can produce agricultural products (that is, until they reach maturity), they will be accounted for as independently created items of property, plant and equipment. However, IAS 16 will not apply to biological assets associated with agricultural activities and to fruit crop products. Agricultural products remain within the scope of IAS 41 and are accounted for at fair value.

The amendments to IAS 16 should be applied retrospectively. However, their early use is permitted.

The transition period exemption for the purposes of first-time adoption of IFRS (IFRS 1) also applies to the amendments to IAS 16, namely the deemed cost exemption. Entities may use the fair value of fruit crops at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements as a proxy. initial cost on this date. This exception applies to fruit crops because they are items of property, plant and equipment as defined in IAS 16.

Changes related to financial reporting disclosures

As a result of stakeholder requests and as part of the IASB's global project to improve financial reporting presentation and disclosure requirements, the Disclosure Initiative (Amendments to IAS 1) has been published to complement the revision of the IFRS Conceptual Framework. Presentation of financial statements").

The main purpose of the amendments is to encourage companies (and other parties involved in the preparation and review of financial statements) to carefully consider the presentation and disclosure requirements in financial statements through the exercise of professional judgment (including compliance with the principles of materiality, understandability and comparability).

The changes are as follows.

1. When aggregating information, it should not be allowed to reduce the understandability of financial statements by veiling material information with immaterial data or by aggregating material items that differ in nature or function. The principle of materiality applies to all four forms of financial reporting (statement of financial position at the end of the period, statement of profit, loss and other components of comprehensive financial performance for the period, statement of changes in equity for the period, statement of cash flows for the period) and notes to them.

2. Compliance with the specific disclosure requirement of any IFRS is not necessary if the information disclosed is not material. These rules must be read alongside the definition of materiality set out in paragraph 7 of IAS 1, which requires items to be taken into account individually and in the aggregate because a group of immaterial items may, if combined, become material.

3. The need for disclosure should be considered additional information if compliance with the specific requirements of IFRS is insufficient to understand the financial statements.

4. Where subtotals are presented (in the statement of financial position, statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income), such amounts must:

  • contain items that consist of amounts recognized and measured in accordance with IFRS;
  • be presented and labeled in such a way that the items that make up the subtotal are clear and understandable;
  • used consistently from period to period;
  • and be presented in a less prominent format than the subtotals and totals that are required to be presented in the statement of financial position under IFRS.

5. The components of other comprehensive income (excluding those attributable to associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method) shall be classified by their nature and grouped as those that, in accordance with other IFRSs:

  • and will subsequently be reclassified to profit or loss if certain conditions are met.

6. Share in other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method with separate presentation of the share in items that, in accordance with other IFRSs:

  • will not be subsequently reclassified to profit or loss;
  • will subsequently be reclassified to profit or loss if certain conditions are met.

7. Included are examples of the ordering or grouping of notes to achieve the objectives of understandability and comparability of financial statements.

The amendments removed examples of disclosure of accounting policies for income taxes and foreign exchange differences from paragraph 120 of IAS 1 because it was not clear why a user of financial statements would always expect these specific accounting policies to be disclosed.

As a result of the amendments, companies may wish to review:

  • application of the principle of materiality;
  • degree of aggregation of financial statement lines;
  • use of subtotals;
  • type of information presentation;
  • the sequence of notes to the financial statements;
  • content and presentation of accounting policies;
  • scope of disclosure of information on significant transactions, subject to satisfactory explanation economic essence operations;
  • what accounting policies are significant to users of financial statements for the purpose of understanding specific transactions.

In addition, firms may consider working with auditors and shareholders to determine what is material and appropriate to disclose in the financial statements for a particular reporting period.

Amendments can be applied early. However, companies are not required to disclose information under IAS 8 (paragraphs 28-30) in relation to these amendments. However, if the company decides to change the order of the notes or the information presented or disclosed compared to previous period In accordance with paragraph 38 of IAS 1, it shall also make adjustments to comparable information to conform with the current period of presentation and disclosure in the financial statements.

Amendments to the accounting of investment organizations

Paragraph 4(a) of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10) contains an exception that allows consolidated financial statements not to be prepared provided that certain specific criteria of that standard are met. In particular, an investment entity would not be required to present consolidated financial statements if certain criteria were met if it were to measure all of its subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss. The application of this exception raised a number of specific questions among interested parties.

The amendments made by the IASB clarified certain aspects of the application of IFRS 10, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (IFRS 12) and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. enterprises" (hereinafter referred to as IAS 28), associated with the general exception for investment entities. Let's consider these aspects.

1. How should parents apply the IFRS 10 general exemption for investment entities when preparing consolidated financial statements? consolidated statements, if the investment organization is the parent enterprise?

IFRS 10 added clarification that a parent that is an investment entity is not required to present consolidated financial statements. It should measure all of its subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 (unless the entity is not an investment entity but its primary purpose is to provide services related to the investment entity's activities). making investments). Previously, IFRS 10 required an investment entity to consolidate its subsidiaries that provide related services. investment activities investment organization, since this activity is only an integral part of the activity of the investment organization itself. This statement gave rise to claims from interested parties, since it conflicted with other requirements of the standard. The amendment to paragraph 32 of IFRS 10 clarifies that an investment entity consolidates only those subsidiaries that meet both of the following criteria:

  • the subsidiary is not an investment entity;
  • The main purpose of the subsidiary is to provide services that relate to the investment activities of the investment organization.

2. How should a non-investment entity account for its interests in associates or joint activities organizations that are investment?

In practice, there may be cases where an entity that is not an investment entity has an investment in a subsidiary that is an investment entity and, accordingly, that subsidiary measures the interests in its subsidiaries at fair value in its financial statements. IFRS 10 makes clear that a non-investment entity entity shall not consolidate the financial results of its subsidiary that is an investment entity, retaining the fair value measurement of the consolidated investment entity's subsidiaries. In such circumstances, when preparing consolidated financial statements, the non-investment entity must consolidate the subsidiaries of its investment subsidiary in the appropriate sequence and then consolidate its investment subsidiary into its financial statements.

IAS 28 at this moment does not contain similar requirements and, accordingly, the standard's guidance has been clarified regarding the application of the equity method by a non-investment parent to an investment in an investment associate or joint venture.

The amendments to IAS 28 clarify that if an entity that is not an investment entity has an interest in an associate or joint venture that is an investment entity, when it uses the equity method to account for its interests in that associate or joint venture, it may retain the measurement of the subsidiaries of such an associate or joint venture at fair value (that is, directly from its financial statements).

Thus, for an investment by a parent that is not an investment entity, adjustments will be required to the financial statements of subsidiaries that are investment entities that have subsidiaries at fair value, but not to the financial statements of an associate or joint venture. will be required.

3. Application of IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities” (hereinafter referred to as IFRS 12) by investment organizations.

The amendments to IFRS 10 clarify that an investment entity that prepares financial statements in which all of its subsidiaries are measured at fair value through profit or loss (in accordance with IFRS 10) must disclose information about the investment entities at in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 12. Note that the same requirements are still contained in IAS 27.

Early application of amendments is permitted. The amendments are applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8. However, when first applying IFRSs, entities are required to present only the amount of the adjustment in accordance with paragraph 28(f) of IAS 8 for the most recent comparative period, rather than for the current and all comparative periods.

IFRS reporting for 2016 compiled by firms in mandatory or on a voluntary basis. From our material you will learn about the nuances of registration and the basic requirements for such reporting in 2016.

Voluntary and mandatory reporting under IFRS for 2016

Firms reporting in IFRS format for 2016 can be divided into 2 groups:

  • legally bound;
  • volunteers.

The first group of companies is listed in the Law “On Consolidated Financial Statements” dated July 27, 2010 No. 208-FZ and since 2015 has been as follows:

  • credit, clearing and insurance organizations(except insurance medical organizations areas of compulsory medical insurance);
  • Management companies IF, mutual funds and non-state pension funds (management companies investment funds, mutual investment funds and non-state pension funds);
  • included in the legislatively approved special list of federal state unitary enterprises (federal state unitary enterprises);
  • JSCs whose securities are owned by the state (according to the list approved by the Government of the Russian Federation);
  • companies whose owners have specified in their charter the obligation to submit and publish reports in accordance with IFRS standards;
  • generating consolidated financial statements according to GAAP (USA) standards of the company;
  • other companies whose securities are traded at organized auctions (included in the quotation list).

This list is presented in a generalized form, since it does not detail federal state unitary enterprises and joint-stock companies, for which the preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS is mandatory. Let's look at this in more detail.

IMPORTANT! The list of federal state unitary enterprises and joint-stock companies for which reporting in IFRS format is mandatory was approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated October 27, 2015 No. 2176-r.

The above-mentioned order names 6 federal state unitary enterprises (Russian Post, ITAR-TASS, Goznak, etc.) and 18 joint-stock companies (Transneft, Rosneft, Russian Railways, Almaz-Antey, Rosagroleasing) , “Rosgeologiya”, “RUSNANO”, etc.).

The second group is those firms that voluntarily took on the task of preparing financial statements in accordance with IFRS standards for their own internal reasons, among which are:

  • desire to attract foreign partners and investors;
  • the desire to increase the level of information content of its reporting;
  • other incentives.

The number of companies in this group largely depends on their financial capabilities, since reporting according to IFRS standards requires considerable costs (on staffing or attracting third-party IFRS specialists, setting up and maintaining a special software and etc.).

Requirements for reporting under IFRS in 2016

The first and main requirement that financial statements under IFRS must meet is the reliability of the information displayed in it.

IMPORTANT! Reliable information is considered to be information that truly reflects the consequences of the firm's transactions, events and conditions in accordance with the definitions and criteria required by IFRS.

To present to users reliable reporting, it is necessary (clause 17 of IFRS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”, put into effect by Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated December 28, 2015 No. 217n):

  • ensure compliance with the requirements of all applicable IFRSs;
  • draw up accounting policies in accordance with IFRS 8 “Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors” (enacted by Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated December 28, 2015 No. 217n) and consistently apply it;
  • provide information that has the following properties: understandability, relevance, reliability and comparability;
  • disclosure in necessary cases additional information (if compliance with the requirements of individual IFRSs does not allow us to sufficiently assess the impact of events and transactions on the financial position and results of operations of the company).

Reliable reporting allows its users to predict the future cash flows of the company (including the likelihood and periods of their occurrence), as well as make effective management decisions based on it.

When preparing financial statements, it is necessary to take into account an important assumption (in addition to the rest of the assumptions) - the assumption of continuity, that is, the ability of the company to continue its activities continuously. If there is uncertainty in this matter or the company plans to liquidate (without other alternative solutions), it is obliged to disclose these circumstances in the reporting.

In assessing a firm's ability to continue as a going concern, management must consider all available information about the future for at least (but not limited to) 12 months. It may be necessary to analyze a broad range of factors including:

  • to current and future profitability;
  • debt repayment calendars;
  • potential sources of financing, etc.

When preparing information for reports, you must remember 2 groups of IFRS requirements:

  • materiality (separate breakdown of significant indicators);
  • nuances of netting (prohibition on reporting assets and liabilities, income and expenses on a net basis, except for situations permitted by IFRS).

Firms are required to submit financial statements in accordance with IFRS at least once a year. The company is obliged to reflect the fact of a change in the end date of its reporting period and the presentation of reports for a period less than or greater than a year, as well as to disclose the nuances of the use of such a reporting period (at a minimum: the basis and lack of full comparability of the amounts presented in the report).

Composition of financial statements under IFRS in 2016

Financial statements according to IFRS includes (clause 10 of IFRS 1):

  • 4 reports (OFP, OPU, OIK and ODDS);
  • notes;
  • other explanatory information;
  • comparative data for the previous period.

OFP, OPU, OIK and ODDS are abbreviations for the names of reports, respectively:

  • about financial situation;
  • profit or loss and other comprehensive income;
  • change in capital;
  • cash flow.

At the same time, IFRS allows the possibility for a company to use its own report names, in contrast to domestic reporting that is strictly regulated in name and structure. For example, “statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income” may be shortened to “statement of comprehensive income.”

In addition to these reports, companies can provide users with:

  • financial reviews (about sources of financing, resources of the company not recognized in the general financial statement, etc.);
  • explanatory reports (for example, on added value);
  • official bulletins (on security issues environment and etc.).

Example of IFRS reporting can be seen on the websites of reporting firms or in open access on the Internet.

Read about the nuances of reporting according to international standards in the following materials:

How to generate financial statements according to IFRS?

Reporting in IFRS format can be obtained in two ways:

  • transformation of indicators formed on the basis of national accounting requirements (transformation);
  • carrying out simultaneous accounting business transactions, income and expenses, assets and liabilities according to national requirements and IFRS (parallel accounting).

Transformation of reporting can be:

  • external;
  • internal.

These types of information transformation are based on reporting data generated according to the requirements of national accounting, and additionally collected by the company necessary information. This set of indicators is adjusted through special programs(usually Excel tables) in accordance with the requirements of IFRS (external transformation), or the required data is generated using special correction algorithms built into the accounting process (internal transformation).

The reporting provided must be reliable, useful, relevant and comparable.

IFRS 2016 in Russia: what has changed and who should apply it?

The introduction of IFRS in Russia in 2016 has a long history. The slightest amendment to the standard can lead to global changes in accounting system. Only at first glance it seems that everything in accounting is unshakable. But it is precisely this that reflects the functioning of the business and requires increased attention. By Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated December 28, 2015 No. 217n, international financial reporting standards were reintroduced (here is a list of IFRS 2016 standards). The order was registered with the Ministry of Justice on February 2, 2016 and with its help 40 IFRSs and 26 clarifications of IFRS were introduced. A number of orders of the Russian Ministry of Finance have lost force, including No. 160n dated November 25, 2011, No. 106n dated July 18, 2012, No. 143n dated October 31, 2012, and No. 135n dated December 24, 2013. These changes in IFRS 2016 must be taken into account in order to competently and efficiently prepare financial statements without significant time delays and additional costs.

Who should apply IFRS from 2016?

List legal entities, which are required to provide annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS according to the Federal Law of July 27, 2010 No. 208-FZ “On Consolidated Financial Statements”, since 2015 it has been expanded with new categories.

The full list of these legal entities now looks like this:

  • credit companies;
  • insurance organizations;
  • legal entities whose shares, bonds and other securities are traded at organized auctions by being included in the quotation list;
  • legal entities whose constituent documentation establishes mandatory submission and publication of consolidated financial statements.
  • since 2014, the list includes organizations that issue only bonds and are allowed to participate in organized trading through their inclusion in the quotation list.
  • since 2015, the list has been supplemented by management companies of investment funds, mutual funds and non-state pension funds;
  • organizations engaged in clearing and insurance activities;
  • non-state pension funds;
  • federal state unitary enterprises (FSUEs), the list of which is approved by the highest collegial executive body Russian authorities;
  • open joint stock companies(OJSC), the securities of which are in federal ownership and the list of which is approved by the Russian Government.

So, the list of organizations that must make the transition to IFRS in Russia in 2016 has been slightly expanded. We would like to remind you that insurance companies were excluded from the list of insurance organizations. medical companies, which only work with mandatory health insurance. Non-state pension funds and parent companies were included in the list in order to increase government control over their activities and protect the interests of incompetent investors.

What's new in IFRS 2016. Changes to be taken into account in reporting

Changes to IFRS 2016 were made by the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation in 2015, when it issued Order No. 9 on January 21 “On the implementation and termination of international financial reporting standards documents on the territory of the Russian Federation.” This order also gives effect to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the discontinuation of IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts, and the Interpretations: RPC Interpretations ( SIC 31 Revenue - Barter Transactions Including Advertising Services, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programs, IFRIC 15 Real Estate Development Agreements, IFRIC 18 Transfer of Assets from clients." The standard comes into force on January 1, 2017, but can be used earlier on a voluntary basis.

Order No. 133n dated August 26, 2015 “On the introduction and termination of international financial reporting standards on the territory of the Russian Federation” puts into effect a new edition of the IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” standard. The standard is mandatory for use from January 1, 2018, but can also be applied ahead of schedule.

In accordance with Order No. 79n dated May 19, 2015 “On the introduction of the document of international financial reporting standards into force on the territory of the Russian Federation,” amendments to IAS 27 “Separate financial statements” come into force. The amendments provide the ability to recognize investments in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures through equity participation in the separate financial statements. The amendments are mandatory for use from January 1, 2016.

Accordingly, Order No. 109n dated July 13, 2015 “On the introduction of international financial reporting standards documents into force on the territory of the Russian Federation” amendments on innovations in the principles of applying exceptions to the consolidation requirements come into force. They relate to IAS 28 Investments in Associates, IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities.

The amendments to IFRS 10 clarify that “intermediate parents” are provided with an exception from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements. Exceptions apply if the investment (parent) company measures subsidiaries at fair value. Entities qualify for the exemption if they meet other requirements of IFRS 10. Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements come into force regarding the clarification of materiality and aggregation, presentation of subtotals, structure of financial statements and disclosure of financial statements. accounting policy.

In 2015, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation issued Order No. 91n dated June 11, 2015 “On the introduction of international financial reporting standards documents into effect on the territory of the Russian Federation.” In accordance with it, annual improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards come into effect for the period 2012-2014. They relate to IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The revision to IFRS 5 clarifies that moving an asset or disposal group from held for sale to held for distribution and vice versa is not a change to the plan of sale or distribution and should not be accounted for. That is, they do not need to be reinstated in the financial statements simply because the method of disposal has changed. Improved IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires an entity to disclose the nature of the arrangement if it transfers a financial asset to a third party in circumstances that prevent the asset from being derecognised. The information should include the extent of the continuing involvement in the asset and the risks to which the reporting entity is exposed.

The listed changes to IFRS will come into force in 2016 or may be applied on a voluntary basis. One way or another, in order to prepare statements in accordance with IFRS, it is necessary to carry out preparatory work if the company is subject to the Federal Law of July 27, 2010 No. 208-FZ “On Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Organization of reporting preparation

If your organization is required to present financial statements in accordance with IFRS, then it is necessary that this area of ​​work be performed by qualified specialists. They must undergo appropriate training and have not only knowledge, but also practical skills in applying IFRS.

When an organization switches to IFRS, it is necessary to decide:

  • Who will prepare the reports - a contractor or a full-time specialist?
  • Do you need a whole regular department to work with IFRS or is it better to turn to third-party providers?
  • How will IFRS reporting data affect the company’s work, what should you pay close attention to?
  • What data is required to be published?
  • Who will be responsible for checking IFRS statements?

The choice of a specialist responsible for reporting under IFRS depends on the professionalism of the staff and the level of their workload. It is worth noting that the staff can be replenished with a third-party specialist, or prepared from existing candidates, which will be more appropriate in terms of rational use of company resources. Studying international financial reporting standards under the guidance of an ACCA marker will allow a specialist to gain strong practical knowledge and skills and confirm them with an ACCA diploma DipIFR (rus). If you improve the qualifications of specialists at the expense of the company, you should choose courses whose program is aimed at current trends in the application of IFRS in Russia in 2016 and their practical use, and not just for theoretical training.

Employees have a much better understanding of the specifics of the company’s activities and can devote maximum time to their core work. Invited specialists are more experienced, but their work in the organization will be superficial and using template methods. Before submitting and publishing financial statements under IFRS, it is necessary to obtain an auditor's report. Auditors carefully check it and provide an opinion and professional assessment. If there are no comments or adjustments, then the deadlines filing financial statements according to IFRS.

Preparation of the first financial statements according to IFRS

The first financial statements under IFRS are considered to be the first annual financial statements of an organization in which International Financial Reporting Standards were used and a statement of its compliance with IFRS was included.

Organizations that switched to international standards submitted their first reports in April 2016, in accordance with paragraph 7 of Art. 4 Federal Law No. 208-FZ. In this regard, they had to prepare in advance appropriately qualified specialists to prepare financial statements under IFRS and disclose their contents.

To prepare the first financial statements under IFRS in the Russian Federation, IFRS 1 “First-time application of IFRS” must be applied.

This IFRS must provide complete and accurate information in both first and interim financial statements that:

  • transparent to users and comparable across all periods provided;
  • prepared at a cost that does not exceed the benefits of its preparation;
  • is the starting point for accounting in accordance with IFRS.

Before preparing financial statements under IFRS, you must:

  • draw up reporting forms in accordance with international standards;
  • accept the contents of the explanations and disclosures;
  • create transformation and consolidated tables;
  • collect information for the opening balance;
  • check all reporting indicators for compliance with national standards and IFRS.

The first application of IFRS must be compared with the current standards that came into force at the reporting date.

As part of the preparation of the initial statement of the financial position of the company, the following work must be carried out:

  1. Recognize assets and liabilities according to IFRS rules.
  2. Lead to write-off and not be recognized as assets and liabilities unless international standards permit.
  3. Execute new classification articles according to IFRS.
  4. Make an assessment of assets and liabilities according to IFRS.

Rules for reporting under IFRS

Annual consolidated statements under IFRS in Russia in 2016, as in previous years, are presented for consideration to shareholders, founders, general directors or owners of company property. Also, all organizations approved by Law No. 208-FZ are required to submit annual reporting in the Central Bank of Russia. It is provided in electronic format, supported by an enhanced qualified electronic signature.

Annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS must be submitted before the general meeting the highest management bodies of the organization, no later than 120 days after the end of the calendar period for which these reports were prepared.

The need to report under IFRS 2016 is forcing companies to reconsider the way they prepare accounting and tax accounting, as well as further business planning. At the same time, companies are increasing their requirements for the professional level of personnel. Frequent changes in national legislation and amendments to international financial reporting standards force them to look in the labor market for professionals who are fluent in IFRS. The high qualifications of such specialists are confirmed by the international ACCA diploma DipIFR (rus).
