Copyright IFRS Foundation

Additional comments provided on the adoption status?

Indonesias stated policy is to maintain its national GAAP and converge it gradually with IFRSs as much as possible. Indonesia does not have a plan or timetable for full adoption of IFRSs. The general approach taken by Indonesia with regard to the IFRS convergence process is to gradually converge the local standards with IFRSs, starting with minimising the significant differences between the two. As of 1 January 2012, the local standards applied in Indonesia (called Indonesian Financial Accounting Standards) are based on IFRSs that were effective at 1 January 2009 with some modifications. The next step would be to continue with the convergence process, in particular: consideration of recent amendments; analysis of the relatively new standards, such as IFRSs 9 to 13 and consider whether to adopt them; and analysis of recent IFRS exposure drafts.

Indonesia intends to analyse the readiness of industry and other constituents in implementing the first wave of standards resulting from the convergence process before developing the next wave of new standards. Indonesia aims to provide a sufficient transitional period of three to four years for new standards while minimising any gaps between the effective dates of new IFRSs and new Indonesian standards. If the jurisdiction has NOT made a public statement supporting the move towards a single set of accounting standards and/or towards IFRSs as that set of standards, explain the jurisdiction's general position towards the adoption of IFRSs in your jurisdiction. Not applicable.

If the jurisdiction currently does NOT require or permit the use of IFRSs for domestic companies whose securities trade in a public market, are there any plans to permit or require IFRSs for such companies in the future?

Indonesias stated commitment is to converge the Indonesian Financial Accounting Standards with IFRSs and minimise the significant differences between the two sets of standards. A commitment towards the full use of IFRSs for domestic companies has not been announced. The Indonesian Capital Market Supervisory Agency that regulates listed entities has revised its rules on financial statement presentation and disclosures to conform to Indonesian Financial Accounting Standards, which had been converged with IFRSs that were effective 1 January 2009 with some modifications.

For FOREIGN companies whose debt or equity securities trade in a public market in the jurisdiction: Are all or some foreign companies whose securities trade in a public market either REQUIRED or PERMITTED to use IFRSs in their consolidated financial statements? If YES, are IFRSs REQUIRED or PERMITTED in such cases? Does that apply to ALL foreign companies whose securities trade in a public market, or only SOME? If some, which ones?

Indonesian Financial Accounting Standards.

No.

If yes, what is the process?

The due process involves, among other things, an analysis prepared by the Board and its staff, and includes interactions with stakeholders in Indonesia to capture comments from regulators, the business community, and related institutions. The standard-setting process in Indonesia has the support of relevant regulators, who entrust the Board with the task of issuing Indonesian Financial Accounting Standards that minimise significant differences with IFRSs. The regulators and the government have established an IFRS Task Force, consisting of representatives from, among others, the profession (The Indonesian Institute of Accountants and Indonesian Institute of Certified Public Accountants), regulators (including the Capital Market and Financial Institutions Supervisory Agency and Ministry of Finance whose functions were assumed by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) starting 31 December 2012, the Central Bank of Indonesia whose function will be assumed by OJK starting 31 December 2013, the Ministry of State Owned Enterprises, and the Tax Authority).

If no, how do new or amended IFRSs become a requirement in the jurisdiction? Has the jurisdiction eliminated any accounting policy options permitted by IFRSs and/or made any modifications to any IFRSs? If yes, what are the changes? Other comments regarding the use of IFRSs in the jurisdiction?

Not applicable.

Not applicable. It should be noted, however, that those Indonesian Financial Accounting Standards that were converged with IFRSs effective 1 January 2009 included some modifications to IFRSs.
