Abstract:

The article analyzes the philosophical foundations of scientific accounting knowledge - assumptions about the continuity of the organization. The relevance, the need for a critical assessment of the modern accounting paradigm in the formation of the information society, in the formation of which a certain role is assigned to accounting and accounting (financial) reporting, is substantiated and proved. The author is convinced of the need to reform the accounting system, taking into account national interests. It is proposed to begin this process by clarifying the underlying accounting assumption.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Do differences in countries' accounting standards affect global investment decisions? We explore this question by examining how accounting distance, the difference in the accounting standards used in the investor's and the investee's countries, affects the asset allocation decisions of global mutual funds. We find that investors tend to underweight investees with greater accounting distance. Using the mandatory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as an event that changed the accounting standards of various country-pairs, we examine how two sources of changes in accounting distance—(1) changes due to IFRS adoption of the investee, and (2) changes due to IFRS adoption in the investor's country—affect global portfolio allocation decisions. We find that the tendency to underinvest in investees with greater accounting distance significantly weakens when accounting distance is reduced, either from an investee's IFRS adoption or from IFRS adoption in the investor's country. The latter finding holds despite the fact that IFRS adoption in the investor's country had no impact on the accounting standards under which the investee firms present their financial information; the only change is in the investor's familiarity with these standards. This suggests that differences in accounting standards affect investor demand by imposing greater information-processing costs on those less familiar with the reporting standards.

The system of International Accounting Standards, including the International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the standards of international financial reporting (IFRS) was issued, adjusted, updated and replaced by The International Accounting Standards Board. International Accounting Standards is an important condition to ensure that companies and organizations around the world can apply uniform accounting principles in the work of preparing and presenting financial statements. Currently, many countries around the world such as USA, Japan and European countries, Asia Pacific are approaching IFRS convergence trend. In the trend of globalization of accounting, Vietnam will not be outside the process of integration with the system of International Financial Reporting Standards. This article will review the process of formation and development of IFRS, the IFRS trends and the advantages and disadvantages of applying IFRS in Vietnam.

Abstract:

In 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) formally began a process to converge Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). By the end of 2011, the SEC will likely decide on whether to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards as the financial reporting system for U.S. public companies, continue with the convergence project, or reject IFRS altogether. This paper examines the benefits and drawbacks of each option and formulates a recommendation as to which option is in the best interest of U.S. investors.

Abstract:

Albania implemented its first set of 14 National Accounting Standards (NAS), which were prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, in 2009. The 15th standard, specifically the Accounting Standard for financial reporting by micro-entities, was added to this set in 2011 and a 16th standard, relating to the reporting for non-profit enterprises, was added in 2015. In 2014, the National Accounting Council of Albania (NACA) performed a major revision of this existing framework of NAS. The focus of this paper is to analyze the current status, as well as the development of accounting and financial reporting in Albania for the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). An international standard of financial reporting for SMEs was issued by the International Accounting Standards Board but was not fully endorsed by the European Community, nor by the NACA, who instead chose to revise their current NAS. In this study, we provide a general overview of the accounting regime and platforms currently applied in Albania, by focusing on the changes over the recent years. We also depict the main differences between the IFRS for SMEs and the NAS in Albania in treatment of several elements of the financial statements.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss empirical research examining the impact of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) adoption and board governance on the accounting quality, in terms of relevance and faithful representation. Design/methodology/approach The research uses a sample of 454 observations of publicly listed companies on the Indonesian Stock Exchange for the fiscal year that ends on December 31, 2008 through 2011. Relevance is measured by predictive value, whereas faithful representation is measured by absolute discretionary accrual as an inverse measure. Board governance is measured by the board of commissioner score whereas IFRS adoption is measured by the percentage of IFRS adopted. The data used in this study are obtained both from Indonesian Capital Market Directory, Indonesian Stock Exchange database, and from company annual reports. Findings This research found evidence of a positive association of IFRS adoption on the relevance of accounting information quality. With respect to faithful representation, this study proves a positive association after IFRS adoption. This research also found that board governance has a positive impact on accounting information quality after IFRS adoption both in relevance and faithful representation. This result is in line with investor’s expectations that fair value IFRS adoption enhances the relevance of accounting information. Originality/value This study provides further evidence on the effect of IFRS adoption and board of governance on accounting information quality using data from Indonesia. Moreover, this study measures and tests both dimensions of earnings quality which are relevance and faithful representation and portrays a complete story about the quality of earnings. This study uses the qualitative characteristics of accounting information as proxies for accounting quality, so that it enriches the accounting literature about the role of accounting standards in financial reporting quality.

Abstract:

The article takes a political economy perspective on the current harmonization of accounting standards. It argues that the process not only signals a major shift in the mode of governance (towards private authority), but also in the substance of what is being governed. In political-economic terms, the most significant change which the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) brings to accounting is an increased reliance on market values in the form of so-called Fair Value Accounting (FVA). The FVA paradigm represents a financial perspective on business operations. This perspective is matched by the process and structure of the institutions that govern international accounting standard setting, particularly the IASB and the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group which advises the Commission of the European Union on the adoption of IASB standards. A network analysis of the different committees and working groups of these two institutions demonstrates that financial sector actors wield substantially more influence than other categories of business actors within the governance of international accounting standard setting.

Abstract:

International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) introduced by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB is international financial reporting standard. IFRS is a single set of high quality, understandable and enforceable global accounting standards. It is a "principles based" set of standards which are drafted lucidly and are easy to understand and apply. IFRSs were adopted first time in 2005 by EU (European Union) and are now accepted or required in more than 120 countries. In India, this is in an implementation stage. This paper tries to study the implementation problems in India and make suggestions to solve the problems. The important implementation problems are cost, lack of awareness about IFRS among investors, and no uniformity in accounting guidance issued by various regulators (SEBI, IRDA, RBI) in India. The suggestions are to provide proper training and education to accounting professionals and employees about IFRS; Government has to reform the taxation system to match with IFRS.

Dat is nogal wat, zeker ook voor Nederlandse ondernemingen. Want de naleving van IAS in Nederland is nog altijd zeer beperkt.

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to study the problems of convergence of investment property accounting in Russian and international financial reporting standards. The relevance of the question is due to the increasing role of such objects in the activities of Russian organizations. The research methodology includes the critical analysis of regulating modern investment property accounting in Russian and international financial reporting standards. This article uses such methods as analysis and synthesis, comparison, method of analogies, method of groupings, systems approach and logical approach. The study reveals discrepancies in the conceptual apparatus connected to investment property accounting; in various Russian regulatory documents; in interpretation of the notion of investment property in Russian GAAP and IFRS along with the differences in the investment property valuation methodology in Russian and international fi reporting standards.This article investigated the regulation of all Russian and International financial reporting standards subsystems. Russian accounting standards subsystems are the regulatory documents of organizations belonging to public and private sectors. The latter includes the normative documents of financial and nonfinancial organizations. When analyzing the regulatory documents on accounting in financial organizations the documents of credit and non-credit institutions were considered separately. As international standards subsystems were considered International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and International Financial Reporting Standards for private sector. The authors give the critical analysis of the validity of the investment property accounting regulations in Russian and international financial reporting standards. The authors substantiate the prospects of the further convergence of the investment property accounting rules in Russian and international financial reporting standards.

Abstract:

The Australian Financial Reporting Council recently shocked the world business community by unexpectedly announcing a change in the nation's approach to global-accounting-standards development. The change involved switching from ensuring consistency of Australian accounting standards with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) developed by the International Accounting Standards Board to outright adoption of IFRSs by 2005. At the time of the announcement, Australia had the most developed international harmonisation programme of any country with a well-developed financial reporting system. Events surrounding the change demonstrate how political the accounting standard-setting process can be as it continues to receive front-page media attention, and as it provides a platform in parliamentary and electoral debate. In the meantime, the US role in the global accounting standard-setting arena has moved through phases of indifference to potential active dominance, and European influences have waxed and waned. We examine whether swings in political and regulatory influences that occur when globalisation becomes a national and international goal are explained by regulatory capture theory. We also address the extent to which a subset of a single nation's regulatory system plays a key role in a series of larger national and international games. Drawing upon experiences in Australia, the United States, and the European Union, we identify political influences on initiatives to reform accounting-standard-setting environments, policies, and processes.

Abstract:

This study examined the effect of International Financial Reporting Standards on value relevance of accounting information of quoted firms in Nigeria. The objective is to examine if International Financial Reporting Standards affect value relevance of accounting information. The study focus on the commercial banks, manufacturing firms, insurance, government agencies and the oil and gas firms, questionnaires were structured and administered to accountants and finance managers. The data analyses adopted was the simple percentages and correlation coefficient. The results found a coefficient of 85.1 %, R2 and adjusted R2 of 60.3% and 51.4 %. We conclude that there is significant relationship between International Financial Reporting Standard and value relevance of accounting information of quoted firms in Nigeria. We therefore recommend full compliance to the International Financial Reporting Standard, audit firms should adopt fully the International Financial Reporting Standard and Nigerian accounting bodies such as Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and Association of National Accountants of Nigeria should endeavor to encourage the auditing firms on the relevance of adopting International Financial Reporting Standard.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the determinants of accounting policy choices under International Accounting Standards (IASs) of listed firms in South Asia. Design/methodology/approach We selected three IASs-based accounting policy choices from 369 listed companies in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh for the financial year 2007-2008. Findings Our results show that firm size, investment opportunity set, leverage and ownership by the general public are significant determinants of accounting policy choice in South Asian countries. However, we do not find a significant relationship between firms’ accounting policy choices and profitability, assets-in-place and taxes. Practical implications Our results suggest that as some flexibility exists in IASB’s accounting standards, this may allow managers to use income-increasing/decreasing methods. There is scope for regulators and standards setters to reduce the alternative methods which are likely improve firms’ reporting quality. Originality/value Our study contributes to the understanding as to what determines managers’ choice of a particular accounting method allowed in IAS.

Abstract:

International accounting topic was rare to adress between accounting practices, especially International Accounting Standard. It occured due to the restrictive source and difficulty in finding the source. However, recently the standard has been an addressed issue since Indonesia Chartered of Accountant (IAI) plans to comply the Indonesia Accounting Standard (SAK) with the International Financialreporting(IFRS)on1stJanuary2012.The purpose of the research is to measure the compliance of the (SAK) per 1st January 2008 with the IFRS per 1st January 2008 and attain the association between those two standards. Hence, the difference between the two standards and the neccessary steps to be taken for complying can be obtained. The methodology will be used in the paper are Jaccard’s Coefficients, Spearman’s Correlation Coefficient,Euclidean Distances.The sample for the paper will be 43 accounting issues adressed on both standards that have been chosen and investigated. The paper concludes that there are significant equalities (75%) between SAK per 1st January 2008 and IFRS 1st January 2008. (using Jaccard’s Coefficients). Due to several problems that have been found in the research, the author wish that the further researchers could widen the research’s samples, so the result will be more accurate and comprehensive.

Abstract These remarks deal with financialisation of accounting. Financialisation is a process by which windfall capital market gains are crystallised from future earnings over and above those available from current earnings and profit. Accounting numbers reported by business firms are increasingly including the product of windfall gains from capital markets into those accounting numbers. Thus a significant disturbance in market valuations embedded in firm’s assets and earnings could have a significant and material impact upon firm-level financial stability.

Abstract:

The transformations in the business environment and the opening of markets have led to increased interest in financial investments to revive the national economy and with the emergence of international business and multinational companies، accounting work has become more extensive and complex، which requires improving local accounting standards and in line with international requirements، where the research problem is that Iraq is one of the countries It seeks to use accounting that is largely consistent with the international financial reporting standards through its keenness to apply the unified accounting system and accounting rules and that studying financial investments in the light of both international financial reporting standards and Iraqi accounting regulations and knowing and identifying similarities and differences between them can improve the process of increasing Harmony and increased compatibility Where the importance of research lies in improving the unified accounting system and the Iraqi accounting rules through which financial investments are accounted for and shown in financial statements and communicated to users of financial reports in a way that reflects on the enhancement of investment decisions، and with this the aim of the research is to identify financial investments in the light of each of the reporting criteria International and local financial and accounting treatments in addition to conducting a comparative analytical study to find out the similarities and differences between them and proposing the necessary basis and procedures to help increase harmony and consensus، as the two researchers used the theoretical side and the comparative analytical method based on the sources and references as well as the international and local financial reporting standards related to the research topic Also، tables and illustrations were used، many results were reached، the most important of which is a wide gap between international and domestic financial reporting standards in relation to accounting for financial investments. Financial statements، and among the recommendations of the researchers is the necessity to issue a separate accounting rule for financial investments and another rule for investments in real estate، as well as an accounting base for investment in associates and joint ventures in order to classify financial investments according to what came in the international financial reporting standards.

Abstract:

It has been clearly shown that financing based Islamic teaching has inherent characteristics as well as its accounting. For that reason, it may not be so easy to convert Islamic accounting standard into International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) as it may violate some basic principles of Islamic teaching. Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institution (AAOIFI) still commits to have different accounting standard as it is based on the fiqh (maxims). Furthermore, some countries adopt directly or indirectly the concept in IFRS, for example, in Malaysia. This paper tries to show some evidences on accounting standard which does not have a strong foundation of Islamic teaching would like probably to change by its milieu, especially in the IFRS convergence trend. This is because Islamic accounting standard itself merely based on “the convention” of the so called Islamic scholars. Keywords : Islamic Accounting, IFRS, and standard

Abstract:

Purpose – This study aims to examine whether the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) leads to accounting quality improvements in Egypt as a code-law country. In particular, the study examines earnings management, the construct often used to assess accounting quality. Design/methodology/approach – The study compares earnings management practice for Egyptian listed companies before (2000-2006) and after (2007-2009) the adoption of IFRS. Findings – The findings of the study reveal that accounting quality, as measured by earnings management, has decreased in post-adoption period compared to pre-adoption period. IFRS are set up to provide high-quality financial reporting. However, this cannot be achieved solely by a regulatory requirement to follow. The accounting system is a complementary component of the country’s overall institutional system. Institutional improvements did not simultaneously take place by the Egyptian government around the adoption of IFRS. The Egyptian government did not introduce a more effective enforcement system, mandatory corporate governance regulations, investor protection mechanisms and sufficient institutional knowledge of IFRS during that period. Thus, even if IFRS are higher quality standards, the institutional features of Egyptian market could eliminate any improvement in accounting quality arising from adopting IFRS. Research/limitations/implications – The results of the study are consistent with prior research suggesting that the adoption of IFRS, which are generally perceived to be of higher quality than domestic standards, does not necessarily lead to higher accounting quality in code-law countries like Egypt. The overall results indicate that incentives dominate accounting standards in determining accounting quality in Egypt. Originality/value – The main reason why countries adopt IFRS invariably is to improve accounting quality. It is, therefore, of interest to ascertain if this goal has been met, especially, in code-law countries such as Egypt.

Abstract:

Globalization, capital market crash and the Enron’s case led the accounting profession to insist on the need for a single set of high quality reporting standards. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) were first adopted in 2005 by EU countries while Nigeria agreed to adopt in 2012. The question is: How does IFRS adoption improve the monetary relevance of accounting information? Several studies have explored the monetary relevance of IFRS adoption; however, they are based on foreign countries while Nigerian researches do not contain empirical evidence as they are mostly theoretical. This study therefore seeks to investigate the effect of IFRS adoption on financial performance. The study used correlation research design and data on Earnings per Share (EPS), Change in Earnings per Share (CEPS), Book Value per Share (BVPS) and net profit margin

Abstract:

Subject. The article analyzes the international application of the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) so as to evaluate and use successful practices of implementing and applying them, and avoid typical errors in settling and harmonizing the Russian accounting practice in accordance with the IPSAS. Objectives. I formulate what mainly distinguishes the international use of the IPSAS. Methods. The study is based on the comparative analysis method. Results. As a result of the study, I discovered some difficulties in implementing and adopting the IPSAS. In theory, the difficulties can be divided in two groups, i.e. technological, organizational and financial. The technological difficulties arise from the use of modern ICT ensuring fast and quality financial reporting under IPSAS. The organizational problem is about finance. Accounting reforms, accounting staff training entails considerable governmental spending. Conclusions and Relevance. Reforming the financial (budgetary) accounting process and financial reporting in Russia, authorities should refer to the international experience in the IPSAS. Doing so, they will be able to streamline the harmonization of financial reporting.

Abstract:

Research background: The idea of harmonizing accounting at the international level gradually began to spread from the second half of the 20th century as a result of globalization and the growth of international trade. Due to the expansion of this business, users of financial statements have a need for comparability and transparency. National accounting legislation was so different that a reliable assessment of companies from different national backgrounds was not possible. The intention was to create uniform, globally applicable accounting standards. Purpose of the article: This paper clarifies the theoretical background of selected accounting standards that can significantly expand the scope for earnings management. Methods: Basic scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction and abstraction were used to meet the stated goal. Findings & Value added: The correct application of IFRS can increases the scope for discretionary accounting practices. The change in reporting and valuation according to domestic legislation to reporting and valuation according to international standards may, to varying degrees, affect the picture of the financial position as well as the achieved profit of the company.

Abstract:

Accounting standards and variance in their application is one of the current topics in economic research. Standardization in accounting represents the accepted organization of financial reporting and being aware of it contributes to making effective business decisions. The purpose of the study is to present the applicable accounting standards for publicly traded companies and for enterprises which do not issue securities, from a global standpoint in general, and for Bulgaria in particular. The results are based on data about the monitored jurisdictions of the International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation and Bulgaria. The research methodology is based on the methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison and generalization, study of literature and empirical data. The assertions are that the applicable accounting standards have a theoretical nature of working principles, rules, and approaches to financial reporting, and that basic accounting standards are elementary components of methodological accounting tools. It has been established that publicly traded companies apply the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in almost 75% of the states worldwide, while enterprises which do not issue securities adopt IFRS for small and medium-sized enterprises or national accounting standards as a basis for accounting, which constitutes grounds to conclude, that the differences in accounting across the world are not large, and that it is appropriate to perceive the applicable accounting standards as a macroeconomic characteristic. In Bulgaria, the standardization and legal regulation of accounting are in accordance with internationally accepted regulations and established practices of the European Union. The establishment and adoption of global accounting standards is a contribution of accounting to the modern development of mankind.

Abstract:

In the United States of America (US), all the accounting procedures and guidelines for measurement and reporting by business firms are governed by a body of principles and concepts known as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These GAAP are presently issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) with the authority delegated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Historically, each country developed its own GAAP and there was no uniformity among the GAAPs of different countries. Comparison of financial statements issued by business firms from different countries has become impossible leading toward suboptimal capital allocation across countries in the world. Gradually, with the advent of multinational corporations, there emerged a global demand for convergence of GAAP of different countries into a single set uniform accounting standards applicable to all countries. Initiative for uniform global accounting standards came from International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) which was established in 1973. The IASC formed International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in 2001 which began issuing International Financial Accounting Standards (IFRS). Till now about 100 countries have adopted IFRS for their financial reporting purposes. The SEC has yielded to the global pressure to adopt IFRS in the US. SEC has set a timeline for US business firms to change over from US GAAP to IFRS. This paper presents the background and development of the movement of IFRS, timeline for the change in US and the implications involved in the adoption of IFRS in the US.

Abstract:

The reform of accounting and reporting in Russia began in the 1990s. The benchmark was taken on International Financial Reporting Standards, as many countries use these standards. IFRS have a number of advantages, such as simplicity, objectivity, international comparability. The author of the article gives the main problems, as a result of which, for almost thirty years, national standards have come very slightly closer to international ones.

Abstract:

China Eastern Airlines, headquartered in the People's Republic of China, has been listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange since 1997. In its 2005 annual report, China Eastern Airlines presents two sets of financial statements: one prepared under People's Republic of China accounting regulations, and a second set prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. In addition, as a listed company on the New York Stock Exchange, China Eastern Airlines files Form 20-F with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. This filing includes a limited reconciliation of net income and net assets from International Financial Reporting Standards to United States' generally accepted accounting principles. Your job is to examine these financial statements, explore any differences noted between each of the financial statements and U.S. GAAP, and highlight some issues to be included in a financial analysis of China Eastern Airlines for possible inclusion in an investment portfolio.

Abstract:

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) are preparing to make changes to accounting standards for leasing that will have a significant impact on the financial statements of a large number of companies. The proposed standard will eliminate the operating lease classification, and if passed, companies using this classification will be required to report additional assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. This study estimates the impact of this change in accounting standards on the financial statements and several key financial ratios for an extensive sample of companies and industries from the Compustat North America database. It is important that users of financial statements understand and are prepared for these changes prior to implementation, particularly for industries in which operating leases are heavily utilized.

Abstract:

With the aid of computerized sentiment analysis, this paper analyzes the role of constituents’ comment letters in the process of setting international financial reporting standards for financial instruments. Whilst explicit agreement in comment letters is associated with the board’s decision to proceed with its proposed course of action, we find no consistent evidence that explicitly stated disagreement has an impact on the resulting accounting standard. Using context-specific dictionaries, we find that increased levels of negative tone in comment letters increase the probability of the board subsequently abandoning a proposed course of action. Capturing dissent through negative tone facilitates large-scale analysis, and we show that the financial industry has been less successful than other constituents in its lobbying efforts through comment letters.

Abstract:

The Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) have been working jointly toward the convergence of the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the international financial reporting standards (IFRS). However, several arguments still exist as to whether or not U.S. companies should adopt or converge with IFRS. This qualitative study identified the differences noted between rules-based and principles-based accounting, and discussed the impact of these accounting standards on financial reporting. Additionally, several resources were analyzed to understand the path to convergence and the future state of IFRS. The examination of information regarding the transition towards one single set of accounting standards led to the development of two alternate conclusions. Although research allows for the belief that convergence with IFRS is imminent, the fact remains that FASB and IASB will need to work diligently in order to resolve the differences between the two sets of accounting standards.

Abstract:

The article highlights the features of accounting receivables at the enterprise based on a comparison of national and international standards. The authors identified conceptual problems in accounting receivables and clearly outlined the differences between national and international accounting standards. An explanation of the differences in the standards themselves as the basic regulations governing the reflection of receivables in accounting. The experience of foreign countries, in particular the United States, on the peculiarities of accounting receivables is also reflected. The concept of bad receivables and its reflection in national and international standards is defined separately. An important role is played by the classification of receivables for accounting and reporting purposes. The authors identified possible threats in case of non-compliance with the rules of classification of receivables and risks to the financial stability of enterprises. An important place in the article belongs to the question of the relationship between the concepts of bad receivables and receivables to be written off, i.e. the statute of limitations has expired. It should be noted that International Financial Reporting Standards do not have an interpretation of the concept of "Accounts receivable", as defined in the Ukrainian accounting legislation. This becomes a contradictory point in the preparation of financial statements according to international standards. That is why the authors propose to apply a specific classification of receivables depending on the maturity in order to simplify the preparation of financial statements. Also the accrual of the provision for doubtful debts and the choice of the method of its calculation in accordance with national provisions (standards) of accounting and financial reporting is important. Proper and timely calculation of the doubtful debts provision gives companies the opportunity to reduce the base of income tax. Most Ukrainian companies choose the "absolute amount" method, which is a simpler and more realistic option if there are not many overdue debts. The authors also suggest options for improving the accounting of receivables in accordance with national and international standards.

Abstract:

The International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sized entities (IFRS for SMEs) was published as a standard by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) during July 2009. During 2007 South Africa became one of the first countries and the first country in Africa to early accept the proposed accounting standard (exposure draft of an IFRS for SMEs). The accounting standard will probably also be accepted by numerous other countries. The aim of this article is to investigate the applicability of this accounting standard. The results indicated that the IFRS for SMEs remains too comprehensive for the majority of small companies. The IFRS for SMEs does not satisfy the needs of South African users of small company financial statements, and as a result the accounting requirements should be simplified.KEYWORDS: Financial accounting; Financial reporting requirements; IFRS for SMEs; Small companies; Users of financial statements; Small company financial statements.
