    Study Notes

    Overview of IFRS Standards

    • IFRS Standards are a set of accounting principles, issued in April 2016, providing a framework for preparing financial statements.
    • The conceptual framework outlines concepts underlying financial reporting for external users.
    • The objective is to provide financial information useful to investors, lenders, and creditors for resource allocation decisions.
    • Qualitative characteristics of useful financial information are defined, including relevance, reliability, comparability, and understandability.
    • The framework defines, recognizes, and measures financial statement elements.
    • Concepts of capital maintenance are also outlined.

    IFRS 1 – First-time Adoption

    • IFRS 1 mandates a complete set of financial statements for the first IFRS reporting period and the preceding year for entities adopting IFRS Standards.
    • Consistent accounting policies are used throughout all periods presented in the first IFRS financial statements.
    • These policies comply with standards effective at the end of the first reporting period.
    • Limited exemptions are provided from restating prior periods, if the cost of compliance exceeds the benefits to stakeholders.
    • Retrospective application of IFRS is not permitted.

    IFRS 2 – Share-based Payments

    • This Standard specifies financial reporting for share-based payment transactions, including share and share option issuance.
    • Transactions with employees or other parties are settled in cash, assets or the entity's equity instruments.
    • Profit or Loss and financial statements reflect share-based transactions and related employee expenses.

    IFRS 3 – Business Combinations

    • Principles and requirements for acquirers in business combinations are established.
    • Identifiable assets acquired, assumed liabilities, and any non-controlling interest are recognized and measured.
    • Goodwill acquired or gain from a bargain purchase is recognized and measured.
    • Relevant disclosures are made for users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.

    IFRS 4 - Insurance Contracts

    • Specific accounting for insurance contracts for entities issuing such contracts is outlined, until a comprehensive project is completed.
    • An insurance contract is where one party (insurer) assumes substantial risk from another (policyholder) in exchange for compensation.
    • Specified contracts covered by other standards are not affected.

    IFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

    • Assets meeting criteria for classification as held-for-sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
    • Depreciation ceases for these assets.
    • Assets, and liabilities within a disposal group classified as held for sale, are presented separately.
    • Discontinued operations results are presented separately in comprehensive income.

    IFRS 6 - Exploration and Evaluation of Mineral Resources

    • This Standard specifies financial reporting for costs related to mineral exploration and evaluation (e.g., minerals, oil, gas).
    • Costs associated with determining the economic viability and feasibility of extracting resources.
