Modern economies rely on cross-border transactions and free flow of international capital. Investors seek diversification and investment opportunities across the world, while companies raise capital, undertake transactions, or have international operations and subsidiaries in multiple countries. Accordingly, IASB keeps issuing amendments and new pronouncements to IFRSs to meet global challenges, expectations and acceptance. Synergy Consulting offers seminars, workshops and consultancy on updates of amended or newly released IFRS's, which covers interpretations, measurement criteria, presentation and disclosure, transition and other adoption requirements.
IFRS 9 introduces a new forward-looking impairment model, requiring companies to provide for expected credit losses, which is more complex and significantly more subjective. This new principles-based approach requires judgement to ensure that financial assets are classified appropriately. (Image source: EY)
IFRS 15 establishes principles in relation to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainly of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. Changing the methodology of when and how to recognize revenue widely impacts any organization from multiple aspects that alter the bottom line profit.
IFRS 16 specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value.
