Would any expert please mention such information in the article? If the codes have not been standardised, IFRS should consider this missionary task, should it? --- at least for common accounting items. Although I'm sure that there may have differences amongst coporate accounting, public accounting and financial institution accounting, the standard could be categorized as industrial focused. If accounting software have been commercialised, then I don't understand why the common accounting items can not be harmonized or even standardised. <small>—The preceding ] comment was added by ] (]) 07:55, 14 April 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned --> | |||

:Note that the IAS has stated that the taxonomy is not a chart of accounts, as there are a variety of ways to present financial statements which a fixed chart of accounts cannot accomodate. Also the IFRS accounts are primarily used for statutory accounts, not for management accounting, and so you will not find obvious accounts in the IFRS taxonomy that are used, say, to identify expenses (rent, telephone, stationery etc). --] 11:53, 23 August 2007 (UTC) | |||

== Problems with the Adoption section == | ||
I am concerned about the adoption section of this page. For full disclosure I am the website manager for ifrs.org, and my main remit is the transparency of accurate information regarding IFRS Standards. I am completely comfortable with people having opposing views as to the usefulness of IFRS Standards, but I find the adoption section a little troublesome. | |||
One of the issues which confuses me is that | |||
One issue is that it is an incomplete list of adopting countries. By definition this makes it an arbitrary list, and it is clearly impossible to maintain a full list of what is now 144 countries who have adopted the Standards. | |||
What the definition of Financial Reporting is | |||
The second issue is similar - we cannot possibly maintain the accuracy of adoption status for any list of countries here. The information pertaining to the countries listed is in most cases many years out of date, and therefore misleading to users. At the IFRS Foundation we know how difficult it is to speak to the regulators in each country to maintain the information we have, so doing so here is simply an impossible task. | |||
OR | |||
I would like to propose the following, and I welcome your thoughts: | |||
Where the standard is applied for??? | |||
1) Keep the intro to the adoption section (with some minor edits to the final paragraph by myself to ensure accuracy - such as the number of currently profiled jurisdictions) | |||
I was hoping that either of these questions is answered in the beginning of the document but found nil. | |||
2) Add a paragraph below which suggest where users can find information about adoption status. I suggest linking to the relevant sections of three sites - the IFRS Foundation, the World Bank and IFAC (the International Federation of Accountants which lists information on the adoption of international standards by country) | |||
Another issue that bothers me is that IFRS looks more like a harmonized protocol than a standard. The reason I say that is: | |||
3) Deleting all the individual country/jurisdiction information | |||
-- usually, a standard will not only addresse the specifications that should be achieved but also the defined procedures / mehtods to achieve the specifications. However, in IFRS I could not clearly see such expressions. | |||
Thanks all. ] (]) 15:58, 15 May 2019 (UTC) | |||
For example, in IFRS 3(a) it says: | |||
This IFRS "requires all business combinations within its scope to be accounted for by applying the purchase method." | |||
Unfornunately, it does not mention where the purchase method is located and how readers can find it, hence the standard operators will easily get lost. People will be wondering which purchase method the document is talking about. | |||
Agreed. I'll have a go at making these edits in a few days time subject to any further comments received. I'm aiming to go through other sections of the article first, starting with the introduction which is very long. | |||
-- even with a protocol, if a specified method is not mentioned, an indication of a particular method, such as a common purchase method, will be provided so that at least the readers will know if the method is common or specified. <small>—The preceding ] comment was added by ] (]) 08:00, 15 April 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned --> | |||

==Structure== | |||
I understand IFRS like this | |||
Level 1 Framework | |||
Cheers ]. I've prepped an adjusted opening paragraph as mentioned above, and as no-one else has mentioned anything I plan to add this and remove all the jurisdiction adoption sections tomorrow. | |||
Level 2 Statements <- (level 3) Interpretations | |||
Thanks. ] (]) 15:54, 29 July 2019 (UTC) | |||
Therefore the Framework is the foundation of where all accounting principles based on. Since there are hundred and thousands of transaction of different types around the world it is impossible to set up rule for each case. Therefore IFRS is principle base. When a transaction occur, prepare of AFS need to ensure transactions that could be classified within those statement prepare according to the statement (transaction within Scope of statement). If those transaction were outside the scope of all written statement, principle within the framework shall apply. Therefore the framework is a "safety net" to catch all exceptions. Therefore I edited those paragraph. | |||
To use "choices" sound not very professional therefore I used the term "alternative" which closely tied up to the terms used IAS 1 par 108 - 115. | |||
That looks good. | |||
] 10:51, 18 April 2007 (UTC) | |||
I've now added two sections; 'History of IFRS' and 'IFRS and US GAAP'. It seems to me that the re-written 'Adoption' section would sensibly go right after 'History of IFRS' - I'd be interested in other views. What about merging the section 'Consequences of adopting IFRS' into 'Adoption'? | |||
] (]) 16:20, 31 July 2019 (UTC) | |||
This point is specifically addressed in paragraphs 7 to 12 of IAS8, "Accounting Policies Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors". This requires the application of all Standards and Interpretations in all cases where they specifically apply. In the absence of a Standard or Interpretation, an entity is required to use its judgement, in the first instance by seeing whether there are approximately similar requirements, and only then by reference to the Framework. | |||
These updates seem reasonable to me. However, {{User|Bletham77}}, please consider reviewing ] as it seems you have a conflict of interest. ] | (] - ]) 19:58, 2 August 2019 (UTC) | |||
As a result the Framework is not particularly important in the practical application of IFRS. | |||
Thanks ]. I understand your point, and I made every attempt to be open and honest right from the start. No changes were based on subjectivity, and everything was explained as clearly as possible. The only objective was to remove false or misleading information, and I left my proposals for two months before making any changes. I'm hoping that editors will understand this. ] (]) 08:20, 6 August 2019 (UTC) | |||
], I like your introductions. Regarding placement of the adoption section, I'm not fussed at all - happy for it to remain where it is or be moved to the beginning. As for the 'Consequences' section, I am highly dubious whether we should even have one paragraph discussing the complex nature of the consequences of a worldwide set of Standards being applied in hundreds of differing jurisdictions, but I won't get involved. :-) I do think it's worth keeping separate though, if only to highlight this. | |||

==Conceptual Framework== | |||
I kind of disagree (please forgive me and keep it professional) with you that "Framework is not particularly important in the practical application of IFRS", Base on the followings: | |||
* The framework set up the base of future statement development (Stated in the Framework) | |||
* Statements stated principles to classified transaction to the above 4 classification and give them common "term" and rule as to how to disclose them. | |||
* You referred to (professional) judgement and where should those judgement base on (if you don't apply the framework) | |||
* How can I actually disclose those transaction without the classification (at where Balance sheet or Income Statement ...) as from the framework. The classification I refer to is the Asset, Liability, Income or Expense. | |||
I've grouped together the sections in the article which derive largely from IASB's Conceptual Framework. However, I've not edited the underlying material yet. I'll do so over the next couple of weeks unless anyone else has a go. | |||

This is the asset recognition criteria '''''only''''' not the framework criteria to recognise an transaction, Accrual basis is that criteria and it is mentioned in the document therefore it was deleted. | |||
] 08:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
The deleted piece above ("An item is recognised in the financial statements...") is a paraphrase of paragraph 83 of the Framework. It sets out recognition criteria for any element (asset, liability, equity, income or expense). You may be right to say that the Accrual Basis is more important than the recognition criteria, but I think the recognition criteria should fairly be included! | |||

On the other hand I think I lead this page to discuss a lot about framework, it had evolve to a stage that it should form an article on it's own.

The IASB admitted that full IFRS compliance is too much of a burden for small and medium size businesses and compiled a simplified set of accounting principles that are appropriate for smaller, non-listed companies. Listed companies, even the small ones, are not eligible for this simplified option. The exposure draft removes choices for accounting treatment, eliminates topics that are not generally relevant to SMEs and simplifies methods for recognition and measurement. Thus, the standard reduces the volume of accounting guidance applicable to SMEs by more than 85 per cent when compared with the full set of IFRSs.(). The IASB expects to finalize and adopt ''IFRS for SMEs'' in the middle of 2008. In practice, adoption of IFRS may be a matter of European Union and national governments. Individual business may draw up their balance sheets according to these standards by choice to provide comparable documents across borders for international investors. For the first time, the IASB will provide standardized translations for an IFRS. | |||

==Flow of the document== | |||
As previously stated (see under structure), the article needed to review whether it should create a new topic. Now the article not only need to separate review the separation of IFRS + Framework and a large part in "Features of IFRS" is IAS 1 which also need to be consider to spirit. At the moment, I re-organised the article because personally, IAS 1 should not come before future development which is a huge process (of IASB) at the moment + how IFRS is structured. Whether you want to put it before Framework section is editor's preference. | |||
] 12:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC) | |||
The "Features of IFRS" section actually describes some of the requirements of IFRS. It refers to 18 separate IFRS standards, all with cross references to the standards themselves. It is intended to include a brief description of the valuation requirements for every item on the income statement and balance sheet which has common application and which IFRS addresses. However, I used the heading "features of IFRS" rather than "key requirements of IFRS" so that the article has a neutral point of view. | |||

The second issue is similar - we cannot possibly maintain the accuracy of adoption status for any list of countries here. The information pertaining to the countries listed is in most cases many years out of date, and therefore misleading to users. At the IFRS Foundation we know how difficult it is to speak to the regulators in each country to maintain the information we have, so doing so here is simply an impossible task.
I would like to propose the following, and I welcome your thoughts:
1) Keep the intro to the adoption section (with some minor edits to the final paragraph by myself to ensure accuracy - such as the number of currently profiled jurisdictions)
2) Add a paragraph below which suggest where users can find information about adoption status. I suggest linking to the relevant sections of three sites - the IFRS Foundation, the World Bank and IFAC (the International Federation of Accountants which lists information on the adoption of international standards by country)
3) Deleting all the individual country/jurisdiction information

Agreed. I'll have a go at making these edits in a few days time subject to any further comments received. I'm aiming to go through other sections of the article first, starting with the introduction which is very long.

Cheers Swinnow16. I've prepped an adjusted opening paragraph as mentioned above, and as no-one else has mentioned anything I plan to add this and remove all the jurisdiction adoption sections tomorrow.
Thanks. Bletham77 (talk) 15:54, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
That looks good.
I've now added two sections; 'History of IFRS' and 'IFRS and US GAAP'. It seems to me that the re-written 'Adoption' section would sensibly go right after 'History of IFRS' - I'd be interested in other views. What about merging the section 'Consequences of adopting IFRS' into 'Adoption'?

These updates seem reasonable to me. However, Bletham77 (talk · contribs), please consider reviewing WP:COI as it seems you have a conflict of interest. II | (t - c) 19:58, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
Thanks II. I understand your point, and I made every attempt to be open and honest right from the start. No changes were based on subjectivity, and everything was explained as clearly as possible. The only objective was to remove false or misleading information, and I left my proposals for two months before making any changes. I'm hoping that editors will understand this.

Swinnow16, I like your introductions. Regarding placement of the adoption section, I'm not fussed at all - happy for it to remain where it is or be moved to the beginning. As for the 'Consequences' section, I am highly dubious whether we should even have one paragraph discussing the complex nature of the consequences of a worldwide set of Standards being applied in hundreds of differing jurisdictions, but I won't get involved. :-) I do think it's worth keeping separate though, if only to highlight this.

Conceptual Framework
I've grouped together the sections in the article which derive largely from IASB's Conceptual Framework. However, I've not edited the underlying material yet. I'll do so over the next couple of weeks unless anyone else has a go.
