AN INTRODUCTION TO IND AS

ABBREVIATION STANDS FOR NOS WHO ISSUED


IFRS International Financial Reporting Standards 1-15 IASB
IAS International Accounting Standards 1-41 IASC
IND AS Indian Accounting Standards 1-41, 101-115 ASB (Notified by CG)
Indian GAAPS Indian General Accepted A/C Principles 1-29 ASB (Notified by CG)

In the presentation of the Union Budget 2014–15, the Honorable Minister for Finance, Corporate Affairs and Information
and Broadcasting proposed the adoption of Ind AS. The Minister clarified that the respective regulators will separately
notify the date of implementation for banks and insurance companies. Also, standards for tax computation would
be notified separately. In accordance with the Budget statement, the MCA has notified Company (Indian Accounting
Standard) Rules 2015 vide its G.S.R dated 16 February 2015. Accordingly, it has notified 39 Ind AS and has laid down
an Ind AS transition road map for companies other than banking companies, insurance companies and non- banking
finance companies.

Ind AS roadmap
Salient features:
◘◘ Early adoption permitted from 1 April 2015, with one year comparatives
◘◘ Once adopted, cannot be revoked
◘◘ Companies not covered by the roadmap to continue to apply existing standards
◘◘ Phase I applicable from 1 April 2016 onward to:
ŠŠListed or unlisted companies whose net worth is >= INR 500 crores
ŠŠHolding, subsidiaries, joint ventures or associates of these companies
◘◘ • Phase 2 is applicable from 1 April 2017 onward to:
ŠŠListed companies whose net worth is < INR 500 crores
ŠŠUnlisted companies whose net worth is >= INR 250 crores but < INR 500 crores
ŠŠHolding, subsidiaries, joint ventures or associates of these companies
◘◘ Net worth for a company is to be calculated in accordance with its stand-alone financial statements as on
31 March 2014 or the first audited financial statements for accounting period which ends after that date.
Accordingly, if any company’s networth is more than INR 500 crore as of March 31, 2015, then it will be covered
in Phase 1 itself.
◘◘ Overseas subsidiary, associate, joint venture and other similar entity (ies) of an Indian company may prepare
its stand-alone financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the specific jurisdiction. However,
for group reporting purpose (s), it will have to report to its Indian parent under Ind AS to enable its parent to
present CFS in accordance with Ind AS.

are not required to apply Ind AS for preparing their financial statements Either voluntarily or mandatorily, as
specified in the roadmap (sub-rule (1) of rule 4).
ii Accounting Standards

FRIENDS EVEN GO THROUGH THE FOLLOWING SIMPLIFIED NOTES


(1) Ind AS: From years it was not well decided how much IFRS to be followed by Indian Companies. Need arises to get
our financial statements more modernize and standardized with the global scenario. A way out through it was to
adopt Ind AS. Adopting Ind AS is a convergence of IFRS. Ind AS is in substitution of IFRS to get Indian Co listed abroad
and demand cheaper capital from cash rich countries.
(2) Carve in and Carve outs: As already discussed above that Ind AS is a modified IFRS or converged IFRS. The differ-
ence between Ind AS and IFRS / IAS is known as Carve outs / Carve ins.
(3) Road map of Indian companies to become IFRS compliant?
On 16 February 2015, the MCA notified the Companies Accounting Standards rules 2015 laying down the roadmap
for application of IFRS converged standards.

(ii) Profit / Reserves arising out of the appropriations.
(iii) Securities Premium
Deduct from above: Accumulated losses, Miscellaneous exp., Deferred revenue expenditure.
Not to consider: Capital Reserves arising out of Amalgamation and revaluation reserves.
Problems: Comment on the date of applicability of Ind AS in the following cases:
(i) X Ltd has a subsidiary S Ltd, Sub subsidiary SS Ltd. Associate A Ltd and Sub associate AA Ltd. For the year
2015-2016 X Ltd is voluntarily following Ind AS.
(ii) R Ltd has a NW of 330 crores (unlisted co) as on 31/3/2014. Thereafter it fell down to 100 cr.
(iii) X Ltd has a subsidiary Suraj Bank Ltd, X Ltd is a listed company is having an average NW of 100-150 cr.
(iv) R Ltd has a foreign subsidiary S Ltd, NW of R Ltd is 270 cr as on 31/3/2016. R Ltd is a listed co.

Solution:
Company Year Reason
1) X Ltd 2015-2016 Voluntarily (SFS+CFS)
S Ltd 2015-2016 Subsidiary
SS Ltd 2015-2016 Subsidiary includes sub subsidiary
A Ltd 2015-2016 Associate of X Ltd
AA Ltd - Sub associate is not covered
2) R Ltd - NW before 2014-2015 is irrelevant. NW is below the limit
of 250 cr. From 2014-2015. Also it is an unlisted co. But the
company may voluntarily adopt Ind AS.
3) X Ltd 2017-2018 Being a listed co. the NW > 500 cr. But it is only 100 cr avg.
This criteria is not satisfied. But every listed co should
ultimately follow Ind AS for 2017-2018.
Suraj Bank For CFS as well as for SFS no Ind AS being a Bank.
4) R Ltd 2017-2018 Being a listed co. the NW > 500 cr. This criteria is not
satisfied. But every listed co should ultimately follow Ind AS
for 2017-2018.
S Ltd is registered in a foreign country hence in SFS no Ind
S Ltd AS to be followed.
For CFS purpose it is the responsibility of holding company
to converge the accounts of subsidiary into Ind AS.
5) Basharta 2016-2017 NW > 500 crores as on 31/3/2015 (preceding period)…….

VERY IMPORTANT AND MAJOR CARVE OUTS


CLASSIFICATION OF LOAN WITH COVENANT BREACHES: LOAN WHICH IS NON - CURRENT
LIABILITY
Facts of the case: Outstanding long term loan. Breach occurred before 31/March. The loan becomes payable on demand.
IAS 1: As per IAS -1 if any breach regarding repayment of loan is prevailing before B/S date which was classified as non
– current then such loan is treated as Current liability even if the breach is rectified after B/S date.
IND AS 1: But in case of Ind AS 1 if the breach is rectified after B/S date but before the approval date, then it is reclassified
as a Non - Current liability.
Reason: In India for a better bank and customer relationship the loan is generally not recalled. There are many
formalities for recalling the loan. The users should be informed that the loan is non - current if the breach is rectified
after the Balance sheet date. The users should not panic.

BREACH RECTIFIED AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE (EVENTS OCCURRING)


IAS 10: As per IAS -1 if any breach regarding repayment of loan is prevailing before B/S date such loan is treated as
Current liability even if the breach is rectified after B/S date. This means the breach rectified is not an adjusting event.
IND AS 10: But in case of Ind AS 1 if the breach is rectified after B/S date but before the approval date, then it is
reclassified as a Non - Current liability. Yes it is an adjusting event.
Reason: In India for a better bank and customer relationship the loan is generally not recalled. There are many
formalities for recalling the loan. The users should be informed that the loan is non - current if the breach is rectified
after the Balance sheet date. The users should not panic.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS – DISCOUNT RATE:


IAS 15: Requires use of corporate quality bond rates for discounting retirement costs.
IND AS 15: Mandatory use of government securities yield (Rf) for determining actuarial liabilities. But for foreign
subsidiaries it is quality bond rate. This is similar to Lord Krishna having both Radha and Meera.
Reason: For Indian companies the most reliable and suitable discounting risk free rate will be G-Sec rate. More popularly
known as Rf .

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS – GAIN ON BARGAIN PURCHASE:


IFRS 3: ‘Bargain purchase gains’ in a business combination recognized as income in the statement of profit and loss (Oh
My God ……..bargain gain treated as realised profit)
IAS 28: Similarly as per IAS – 28 Goodwill or Profit / loss is disclosed in Investments in Associates.
IND AS 103: Recognition of ‘bargain purchase gains’ in a business combination is treated as a ‘Capital Reserve’.
IND AS 28: In Consolidated Financial Statements for Investments in Associates it is Goodwill / Capital Reserves which
needs to be identified.
Reason: It is felt that recognition of such gains in profit / loss would result into recognition of unrealized gains. If it is
treated as profits then dividends has to be distributed out of the profits.

FOREIGN CURRENCY CONVERTIBLE BONDS:


IAS 32: Conversion option treated as a derivative and carried at fair value (revalued). This means the conversion option
is FVTPL which will be recognized in P/L.
IND AS 32: Embedded instrument (foreign currency conversion option) is treated as ‘equity’ and accordingly not to be
revalued. It is treated as equity because the issuer will issue its fixed shares at a fix price.
Reason: Actually speaking Ind AS is correct in its presentation. IAS 32 should be rectified as the settlement of FCCB is
by issuing fixed shares at fixed exercise price.

LEASE RENTALS
IAS 17 : In case of operating lease the rentals are recorded on Straight-line basis or based on the substance of the
agreement.
IND AS 17: No straight-lining for escalation of lease rentals in line with expected general inflation (if such clause is a
part of the lease agreement). Lease rentals for the factors other than inflation should be straight lined.
Reason: In India based on the inflationary conditions inclusion of inflation clause is very common in the operating lease
agreement.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE FLUCTUATION

IFRS 101 + IAS 21: No provision in IFRS.


IND AS 101 + IND AS 21: Foreign exchange fluctuations Option as per Companies Act or AS – 11 para 46A provides
recognition of exchange regarding the long term monetary item. Entities are required to continue the policy adopted for
accounting for exchange differences arising from translation of long-term foreign currency monetary items recognized
in the financial statements for the period ending immediately before the beginning of the first Ind AS financial reporting
period as per the previous GAAP. Remember if the loan is used for acquiring depreciable fixed assets then such exchange
difference is capitalized. If the long term loan is utilized for other purpose then the exchange difference will be amortised
till the repayment of loan.
In short Government notification is to be followed for existing loans. And for the fresh loans after the application of Ind
AS the entities should transfer the exchange difference to OCI.
Reason: This is the option inserted by Central Government from the year 2011-2012. As per the notification it is an
option adopted by the entity. Government notifications are binding over Accounting Standards.

AMORTIZATION OF TOLL ROADS:


IFRS 38: As the toll roads rights are intangible assets it is to be written of like any other intangible assets. Recall even as
per AS-26 also intangibles are written off in the ratio of benefits derived from the asset or SLM.
vi Accounting Standards

IND AS 38: Toll roads are covered by Schedule II and will be continued to be covered. As per Schedule II – Toll roads
as Intangible Assets are required to be amortised in the ratio of estimated revenue, also known as Revenue based
amortization.
Reason: Again law prevails over Standards. Schedule II is prepared by Central Government which has an over - riding
effect over the Standards.
Penalty from Contracts (Revenue Recognition)
IFRS 115: Penalties levied in the performance contract should be considered as variable consideration. It means if the
share of revenue in a franchisee agreement is 60%. Penalty is 2%. Then as per IFRS the revenue will be 58% of the fees.
IND AS 115: Ind AS 115 goes by the substance over form criteria. Accordingly the penalty levied will be recognized as
per the substance of the contract.
If the penalty is based on revenue à Net off revenue i.e. 58%.
If the penalty is not based on revenue à Revenue should be fix and penalty should be separately recorded.
Reason: Variable consideration entails complex calculation which may not be acceptable by Indian Accountants.

FIRST TIME ADOPTION OF IND AS / IFRS (COST FOR ASSETS FROM TRANSITION)
IFRS 1: As per IFRS: IFRS 1 First time adoption of International Accounting Standards provides that on the date of
transition either the Cost of PPE / Intangible Assets / Investment Property, shall be determined by applying IAS 16
‘Property, Plant and Equipment’ retrospectively or the same should be recorded at fair value.
IND AS 101: In Ind AS 101 an option is given to the entity to adopt the previous GAAP carrying amount as the deemed
cost for the first time while adopting Ind AS.
Reason: This would facilitate smooth transition towards Ind AS. It also minimizes the cost of convergence. Fair values
may not be possible for old assets in India. Have you heard……..Puraani Kamar Belly Dance nahi Kar sakti hain.

INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES AND JV (DIFFERENT ACCOUNTING POLICIES):


IAS 28 : Accounting policies of joint - ventures and associates should be same that of the parent (investor). If not then
the accounting policies of JV and Associates are required to undergo a change.
IND AS 28: If it is not possible to (impracticable) do so in such case the accounting policies of joint – ventures and
associates with that of the investor may not be same.
Reason: Since the investor has significant influence and not control over the associate or even JV, it is not necessary that
the associates / JVs will change their accounting policy.

OTHER / MISCELLANEOUS CARVE OUTS


COMPARISON OF IND AS-1 WITH IAS -1
(i) IAS 1 has the option either to follow the single statement approach or to follow the two statement approach. Ind AS
1 allows only the single statement approach (i.e. P/L and OCI is within same single statement.).
(ii) IAS 1 permits the periodicity, for example, of 52 weeks for preparation of financial statements. As Ind AS 1 does not
permit it, the same is deleted.
(iii) IAS 1 requires an entity to present an analysis of expenses recognized in profit or loss using a classification based
on either their nature or their function viz: Production costs, Selling expenses, Administration expenses. Ind AS 1
requires only nature-wise classification of expenses (please refer Schedule III).
Similarly in Ind AS – 34 only single statement is followed and in IAS 34 the entities should follow option of single or
two statements approach.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN IND AS-7 AND IAS-7


As per IAS – 7 Interest / Dividend paid alternatively can be classified as CFOA. Similarly Interest / Dividend received can
be classified as CFOA. But in case of Ind AS-7 the above mentioned items are still covered by CFFA and CFIA i.e. as AS-3
(Rev).
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN IND AS-12 AND IAS-12
(i) Some presentation difference exists between standards which does not make much difference. .
(ii) Deferred tax in Business combination which reduces the G/W is credited to bargain purchase gain (profit / loss
a/c.). But in Ind AS it is transferred to Capital Reserve.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN IND AS-40 AND IAS-40 OR EVEN IND AS – 17 AND IAS – 17.
IAS – 40 gives an option to the companies to value its Investments Property at Cost or Revalued Model. Ind AS – 40
strictly want companies to follow COST Model for Investment Properties. This is because such revaluation difference
will then be transferred to P/L account which will not be accepted by Indian Accounting Standard Board.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN IND AS-19 AND IAS-19


As per IAS – 19: The recognition of actuarial gain / loss has 3 options: i) transferred immediately to OCI; ii) corridor
approach of 10% ; iii) Fast write – off: The entire g/l is amortized equally over the balance life of employees. In case of
Ind AS-19: The Actuarial g/l is immediately consumed by the OCI.

Differences between Ind AS-20 and IAS-20


ALSO USEFUL FOR IND AS 16 / 38 AND IAS 16 / 38.
(i) As per IAS – 20 Non – Monetary Grants can be recorded either at fair value or at a nominal value. As per Ind AS – 20
only Fair Value is permitted.
(ii) For Depreciable Fixed Assets Capital approach (deduction from asset) or deferment of income is optional in IAS –
20. But in case of Ind AS – 20 Government grants should be recognized only on deferred basis. Reduction from asset
is not allowed.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN IND AS-21 AND IAS-21


As per IAS – 21 a change in functional currency requires disclosure. As per Ind AS-21 the change in the functional
currency also requires the date when the change took place.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN IND AS-24 AND IAS-24


Somewhere AS-24 wants us to define related party based on the term influence. Ind AS-24 provides specific names of
relative i.e. relatives as defined in Companies Act.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN IND AS-33 AND IAS-33


(i) In Ind AS-33 EPS only as per CFS is required. But in IAS-33 EPS both as per Stand Alone Statement as well as CFS is
required.
(ii) As per para 12 of Ind AS -33 if any item is adjusted in securities premium if it could be adjusted otherwise in profit
/ loss account, then the amount thereof shall be credited or debited to profit from ordinary activities. In IAS-33 no
such provision exists.

Illustration: Pillu Paiki Ltd earns net profit post tax for 2015-16 ` 33,000. During the year underwriting commission
is incurred ` 2,000. The same is adjusted in securities premium a/c. WANES = 1000 shares. Compute EPS for 2015-16.
Tax 30%.
Solution: EPS for 2015-16 = 33000 + 1400 / 1000 = 34400 / 1000 = ` 344.
As per Ind AS-1 the single statement covers Proiit / loss account as well

DIFFERENCES IND AS 23, IAS 23


Exchange Difference: IAS 23 provides no guidance as to how the adjustment for exchange differences arising from
foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs (as prescribed in
paragraph 6(e)) is to be determined. Ind AS 23 provides guidance in this regard.
viii Accounting Standards

DIFFERENCES IND AS 27, IAS 27


Separate Financial Statements: IAS 27 requires to disclose the reason for preparing separate financial statements if
not required by law. In India, since the Companies Act mandates preparation of separate financial statements, such
requirement has been removed in Ind AS 27.
Option to use Equity Method: IAS 27 allows the entities to use the equity method to account for investment in subsidiaries,
joint ventures and associates in their Separate Financial Statements (SFS). This option is not given in Ind AS 27, as the
equity method is not a measurement basis like cost and fair value but is a manner of consolidation and therefore would
lead to inconsistent accounting conceptually.

4 Accounting Standards

Classification of Current Assets (same definition is given by Schedule III)


(a)
It expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle;
(b)
It holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;
(c)
It expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or
(d)
The asset is cash or a cash equivalent (as defined in Ind AS 7 cash flow statement) unless the asset
is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the
reporting period.
All other assets are non-current assets

Classification of Current Liabilities (same definition is given by Schedule III)


It expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle;
(a) Liability primarily for the purpose of trading; (Derivative unfavorable contracts)
(b) The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
(c) It does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in
its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

All other liabilities are non-current liabilities.

THINGS TO REMEMBER
Some current liabilities, such as trade payables and some accruals for employee and other operating costs, are
part of the working capital used in the entity’s normal operating cycle. Even if they are settled after more than
12 months, they are classified as current.

Example: If Coprico Limited has an operating cycle of 24 months. On 31/3/2016 even if the amount is
payable on account of trade payables after 12 months from the reporting date but within operating cycle is
a Current Liability.

Items to be segregated in Balance Sheet or Notes


These segregations are almost covered by Schedule III very well

Example: Items of property, plant and equipment are disaggregated into classes in accordance with Ind
AS 16; Receivables are disaggregated into amounts receivable from trade customers, receivables from
related parties, prepayments and other amounts; Inventories are disaggregated, in accordance with Ind AS
2 Inventories, into classifications such as merchandise, production supplies, materials, work in progress
and finished goods; etc…..

Disclosures for Share Capital & Reserves


Again these segregations / disclosures are almost covered by Schedule III very well
Ind AS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements 5

Examle: For each class of share capital:


◘◘ the number of shares authorized; the number of shares issued and fully paid, and issued but not
fully paid;
◘◘ par value per share, or that the shares have no par value;
◘◘ a reconciliation of the number of shares outstanding at the beginning and at the end of the period;
etc.

Please refer Schedule III (Revised) as per Companies Act 2013.

8 Accounting Standards

Comparison of Ind AS-1 with IAS -1


(a) IAS 1 has the option either to follow the single statement approach or to follow the two statement
approach. Ind AS 1 allows only the single statement approach (i.e. P/L and OCI is within same
single statement.).
(b) IAS 1 requires preparation of a Statement of Changes in Equity as a separate statement. Ind AS 1
requires the Statement of Changes in Equity to be shown as a part of the balance sheet (refer Schedule III).
(d) Paragraph 8 of IAS 1 gives the option to individual entities to follow different terminology for the
titles of financial statements. Ind AS 1 is changed to remove alternatives by giving one terminology
to be used by all entities.
(e) As per IAS -1 if any breach regarding repayment of loan is prevailing before B/S date (such loan
is treated as non – current) and if the breach is rectified after B/S date then it is reclassified as a
current liability. As per Ind AS -1 if any breach regarding repayment of loan is prevailing before B/S
date and if the breach is rectified after B/S date then it is still treated as a non – current liability.
In case of Indian Banking system the procedure regarding the loan disbursement, submitting
of insurance details will take a long time. Hence better it is proper to treat it a non – current
obligation.
(f) IAS 1 permits the periodicity, for example, of 52 weeks for preparation of financial statements. As
Ind AS 1 does not permit it, the same is deleted.
(g) IAS 1 requires an entity to present an analysis of expenses recognized in profit or loss using a
classification based on either their nature or their function viz: Production costs, Selling expenses,
Administration expenses. Ind AS 1 requires only nature-wise classification of expenses (please
refer Schedule III).

IND AS 2: INVENTORIES

Chapter Outline
vv Some important points on Ind AS-2
vv Explanation with illustration

AS-2 Ind AS – 2
Considers only NRV Considers Fair Value also
Does not consider defer payment concept. Defer payment includes an element of financing.
AS – 2 does not prescribe the recognition of expense. Recognition of expense covered.
AS – 2 does not allow reversal of inventory loss. But in Reversal of inventory loss is allowed both in annual as well
Interim financial statements it is allowed. as interim financial statement, (which is restricted to the
original cost).
Accounting treatment of inventories not covered. Inventories used to manufacture fixed asset is capitalized.
Inventories produced for sale charged to income account.
Commodity-brokers are scoped out completely. Commodity-brokers are scoped out but the valuation of
inventory is discussed in terms of guidance.
AS-2 removes WIP of Service Contracts from its scope. Ind AS-2 cover WIP of Service Contracts held by them.
Disclosures restricted to valuation principles only. Disclosures are enlisted in detail other than valuation :
ww Amount of inventory recognized as expense during
the period Amount of any write-down of inventories
recognized as an expense in the period
ww Amount of any reversal of a write-down to net real-
izable value and the circumstances that led to such
reversal
ww Circumstances requiring a reversal of the write-down
ww Carrying amount of inventories pledged as security.
13 Accounting Standards

Some important points on Ind AS-2


(1) Distinguish between NRV and Fair Value
Net Realisable Value Fair Value
NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of Fair Value is the price that would be received to sell an asset
business less estimated cost to sell the asset less estimated or even to pay a liability
cost to complete the asset.
NRV is after deducting expenses FV is before deducting expenses
NRV is entity specific (differs from firm to firm) FV is in general (market oriented)
NRV is used by producers for valuing stock FV is used by commodity brokers / traders
NRV is defined only by AS-2 FV is comprehensively defined and explained by Ind AS-113s.

(2) Recognition of Expense


ww When inventory is sold, the carrying amount of inventory should be recognized as an expense
when the related revenue is recognized. Here the inventory cost is charged to P/L as Cost of
Production but in case of India we don’t have the P/L classification as per function (also refer
format of schedule III)
ww Moreover, the amount of any inventory written down to net realizable value is recognized as an
expense.
ww The amount of any reversal of write-down of inventory should be credited to profit / loss account.
Illustration 1: Suppose Nest (I) Ltd is in snacks business (2 mins ready snacks). In the year 2015-16 say
March due to public agitation the goods were abandoned from the market. Out of the inventories worth ₹ 6
crores the company has to written off 80% of stock worth ₹ 5 crores. Inventory worth ₹ 1 crore was badly
damaged due to some storage problems and was destroyed.
Subsequently the restrictions were withdrawn in May 2016. Nest (I) Ltd can now write back at least 60% of
the loss out of the unsold goods. Explain the impact on the P/L as per Ind AS – 2.
Solution: Year 2015-16: Inventory written off = Written off + Inventory destroyed = 1+4 = ₹ 5 crores. Year
2016-17: Inventory written back (credited to P/L) = 4 x 0.6 = ₹ 2.4 crores.
(3) Something on Scope
This Standard applies to all inventories other than:
◘◘ Work in progress under construction contracts and directly related service contracts (Ind AS 11,
Construction Contracts)
◘◘ Financial instruments (Ind AS-109)
◘◘ Producers of Agricultural inventories / Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce at the point of
harvest (Ind AS – 41).
(4) Guidance on Commodity brokers / Agri produce
◘◘ Agricultural produce after they are harvested and mineral ores are extracted such inventories are
measured at Net Realizable Value. Changes in the value are recognized in the profit or loss in the
period of change. The practice of valuing at NRV (including profit) is very common in such industry.
◘◘ Commodity brokers-traders too measures their inventories at (Fair Value less Cost to sell).
◘◘ When such inventories are measured at fair value less cost to sell, the changes in fair valueless costs
to sell are recognized as profit or loss in the period of change.
In the above cases the principles of Ind AS-2 is not applicable to these industries as they don’t adopt
Cost or NRV whichever is less.
IND AS 2: INVENTORIES 14

Explanation with illustration


Illustration:
Agricultural produce sugarcane not yet harvested valued at ₹ 6,00,000. Cost incurred ₹ 4,00,000. Here we
apply Ind AS-41 because the agri produce is not yet harvested.
But when the goods are harvested (plucked or detached with the plant) the sugarcane is an inventory, but
not valued in accordance with Ind AS-2 i.e. cost or NRV whichever is less is not adopted. It is valued at NRV
(including profits). Such practice is allowed in such industry. Similarly Commodity brokers do not follow the
principle of cost or NRV whichever is less. They value inventories at fair value less cost to sell. This is because
goods unsold in such industries carry high degree of certainty of being sold at Fair Value (guaranteed sale).
Sometimes they have government assurance under a forward contract. In short these industries don’t apply
cost or NRV whichever is less.

Understand the following and improve upon the knowledge


(5) Inventories of Service Providers
Service providers also keep some inventories for their services to render. For ex: A Coaching classes
keep stationery. Saloon and Spa keep consumables (lotion, cosmetics, etc). If the inventories are
held for consumption then they are valued at cost. If held for sale / resale then value at NRV or Cost
whichever is less.
(6) Inventory Purchased on Deferred Settlement Terms
When inventories are purchased on deferred settlement terms, such arrangements in reality contain
a financing element. That portion of the price that can be attributable to extended settlement terms,
the difference between the purchase price for normal credit terms and the amount paid, is recognized
as interest expense over the period of the financing arrangement
Problem 1: Magogama Limited purchased inventory of ₹ 45,00,000 on 1/4/2016. The purchase cost
includes implicit finance cost. The amount will be paid at the end of 2 years. The cost of financing is 8%. Pass

subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are classified
as CFFA.

THINGS TO REMEMBER
CFOA = Cash From Operating Activities, CFIA = Cash From Investments Activities, CFFA = Cash From Financing Ac-
tivities.
16 Accounting Standards

Differences between Ind AS-7 and IAS-7


As per IAS – 7 Interest / Dividend paid alternatively can be classified as CFOA. Similarly Interest / Dividend
received can be classified as CFOA. But in case of Ind AS-7 the above mentioned items are still covered by
CFFA and CFIA i.e. as AS-3 (Rev).

Some important points on IAS – 7


(1) Bank O/Ds as Cash Equivalents
As per Ind AS – 7 Amounts due to a bank are generally considered to be financing activities. However,
in certain countries, bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of an
entity’s cash management may be included as a component of cash equivalents.
(2) Derivatives Contracts
Futures contracts, Forward contracts, Option contracts, and Swap contracts:
As per Ind AS - 7 cash flows from futures contracts, forward contracts, option contracts, and swap
contracts are normally classified as CFIA.
Example: Profits from Arbitrage process.
But if such contracts are held for trading purposes then they are covered as CFOA.
Example: A speculator regularly engaged in buying / selling futures to earn profits.
When the payments or receipts of a derivative item is to support borrowings For ex: Interest rates
swaps entered for loan taken to finance a business, then CF from such derivatives are financing
activities.
When a contract is accounted for as a hedge of an identifiable position, the cash flows of the contract
are classified in the same manner as the cash flows of the position being hedged.
Example: If Cuba Ltd has invested in equity shares of Cipla Ltd held for FVTOCI (Ind AS – 109). To
protect against downfall share prices, Cuba Ltd took PUT OPTIONS. In this case cash flows from PUT
OPTIONS will be classified under CFIA.
Copper futures purchased for copper as raw materials to be purchased on a later date. Copper is an
inventory and an operating activity, so also the futures will also be classified as an operating activity.
(3) Assets held for Rentals:
Assets held for rentals and it is sold out is CFOA. Whether the assets are hired on rental basis or to
earn rental incomes all such cash flows are CFOA. Even the sale of such an asset is treated as CFOA.
But as per AS-3 such cash flows are treated as CFIA.

PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS

Problem 1: Identify whether the following is an element of Cash and Cash Equivalent as per Ind AS - 7:
Case 1: Delta Ltd has made a term deposit for 1 year for ₹ 30,00,000. As on 31/3/2016 the TD has remaining
maturity of 3 months only.
Case 2: Gamma Inc has invested in equity shares only for 15 days $ 4 millions.
Case 3: Beta Ltd has invested Yens 50 millions in Yankee lulu Bank @9% for a period of 3 months
The investor has a right to withdraw the amount by giving a notice. Pre mature withdrawal attracts penalty
whereby 50% interest should be foregone.
Case 4: Cash kept for investments purpose in money market MFs.
Case 5: Thetha Ltd has invested in 8% Preference Share for 1 month.
Case 6: Mangolisa Ltd has post dated cheques worth ₹ 7,00,000.
IND AS 7: CASH FLOW STATEMENTS 17

Solution: Cash and Cash Equivalent (C & CE) features:


(i) Short term liquid instruments
(ii) It carries negligible risk
(iii) Its maturity should not exceed 3 months,
Case 1: Not a C & CE as the original maturity of TD is more than 3 months.
Case 2: Not a C & CE as equity instruments carry risk
Case 3: Substantial loss of money i.e. 50% is too much risk hence not a C & CE.
Case 4: Yes (assumed all conditions are being satisfied).
Case 5: Yes preference share investment is a cash equivalent .
Case 6: No. It is not even a recognized transaction.
Problem 2: Mongolia Coppers Ltd purchased February 2018 copper futures to hedge against the rising
prices of copper which will be purchased in the month of February. Today is 15th December 2017. Mongolio
paid 10% margin money today to enter the contract. Futures will be net settled by cash. Till the settlement
date mark to market works out to be ₹ 60,000 loss. Comment on various cash flows on account of copper
inventory and its futures till settlement date.
Solution:
As per Ind AS – 7: When a contract is accounted for as a hedge of an identifiable position, the cash flows of
the contract are classified in the same manner as the cash flows of the position being hedged.
Initial margins: CFOA (OutfIows)
Mark to Market loss: CFOA (Outflows) from December - February.

19 Accounting Standards

Differences between Ind AS- 8 and IAS-8 No Difference.


Some important points on Ind AS-8
(1) Applying the changes in Accounting Policies: (For meaning of AP refer AS-1)
As per Ind AS - 8 a change in accounting policy required by a Standard or Interpretation shall be
applied in accordance with the transitional provisions therein. (For ex: New method of depreciation
as per New Schedule II requires transitional provision. Remember it is not retrospective effect).
If a Standard or Interpretation contains no transitional provisions or if an accounting policy is
changed voluntarily, the change shall be applied retrospectively.

The practical impact of this is that corresponding amounts (or “comparatives”) presented in financial
statements must be restated as if the new policy had always been applied. The impact of the new policy on
the retained earnings prior to the earliest period presented should be adjusted against the opening balance
of retained earnings.
Retrospective application of a change in accounting policy need not be made if it is impracticable to determine
either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change.
(2) Applying the changes in Accounting Estimates: (For meaning and other details you can refer AS-5)
As per Ind AS-8 Change in Accounting Estimate will be prospectively adjusted. Change in accounting
estimates need not be made if it is impracticable to determine the specific effect.
(3) Applying the changes in Errors: (For meaning and other details you can refer AS-5)
Errors even include frauds in Ind AS – 8. Errors can arise in recognition, measurement, presentation,
or disclosure of items in financial statements.
Discovery of material errors relating to prior periods shall be corrected by restating comparative
figures in the financial statements for the year in which the error is discovered, unless it is
“impracticable” to do so. Again, the strict definition of “impracticable” (as explained above) applies.
Even calculation of Basic and Diluted EPS should change.

PROBLEMS & SOLUTION

Problem 1: Fultu Tides Inc. changed its accounting policy in 2016 with respect to the valuation of inventories.
Up to 2015, inventories were valued using a weighted average cost (WAC) method. In 2016 the method was
changed to first-in-first-out (FIFO), as it was considered to more accurately reflect the usage and flow of
inventories in the economic cycle. The impact on inventory valuation was determined to be
At December 31, 2014: an increase of $ 10,000
At December 31, 2015: an increase of $ 15,000
At December 31, 2016: an increase of $ 20,000
The income statements prior to adjustment are

Problem 2 : Effect of change in accounting estimates


Zuhum Fruits Inc. purchased an Asset @ € 4,60,000 on 1/1/2014. The estimated life of the asset as per the
technicians estimated to be 12 years. The Salvage value estimated to be € 10000. As on 2017 total life of the
asset is revised to 10 years. Salvage is also revised to € 9,000. Compute the effect of change in a/c estimates
on the profit / loss of the year 2017.
Assuem SLM method.
Solution:
Depreciation: (4,60,000 – 10,000) / 12 = € 37,500.
Carrying amount of the asset as on 31/12/2016: 4,60,000 – 37,500 x 3 = € 3,47,500.
For the year 2017
Prospective effect:
Depreciation for 2017 = ( 3,47,500 - 9,000 ) / (10-3) = 3,38,500 / 7 = € 48,357.
Change in depreciation = 48,357-37,500 = € 10857 (extra depreciation).

Imp points
In Ind AS-8 errors have retrospectives effect. Can you see that the last year accounts have been revised.
Adjustment in the last year profit should be done, as the mistake relates to last year.
In case of AS-5 last years a/cs remain same. Current year (31/3/2017) P/L will be reduced by ₹ 40000.
Simultaneously Fixed Asset of current year will be reduced by ₹ 40000.
Entry: P/L A/C Dr ₹ 40000

In addition to the above adjustment, the company is also required to make a disclosure in the financial
statements about the prior period item.
◘◘ Depreciation effect is ignored because land is not depreciable asset.

Some important points on Ind AS-12


Definitions
◘◘ Accounting Profit: Profits as per Co Act / Accounting Std.’s (same as AS-22)
◘◘ Taxable Profit: Income submitted to ITO officer as per the tax laws and rules. (same as AS-22)
◘◘ Tax expense: It’s the summation of Current and Deferred tax (same as AS-22)
25 Accounting Standards

◘◘ Current tax: The amount of income taxes payable (recoverable) in respect of the taxable profit (tax
loss) for a period. If the income is positive we have to pay taxes. But if the entity incurs a loss then
taxes are c/f in India. But in some countries government pays refunds for tax loss!. Hence the act has
used the term taxes payable and recoverable both.
◘◘ Tax base of asset / liability: It is the amount attributable to that asset or liability for tax purposes.
◘◘ Carrying amount of asset / liability: It is the amount attributable to that asset or liability for
accounting purposes.
◘◘ Deductible temporary differences: Carry forward of unused tax losses and credits. IT gives rise to
the recovery of tax if the asset / liability is settled. à it gives rise to DTA
◘◘ Taxable temporary differences: It results in the payment of tax when the carrying amount of the
asset or liability is settled à it gives rise to DTL
◘◘ Deferred tax assets: The amounts of income taxes recoverable in future periods. It is the tax effect
on Deductible temporary difference.
◘◘ Deferred tax liabilities: The amounts of income taxes payable in future periods. It is the tax effect on
Taxable temporary difference.

DO YOU KNOW
Tax base = Carrying Amount → No DTA / DTL
For an Asset: Tax base > Carrying Amount → DTA
For an Asset: Tax base < Carrying Amount → DTL
For a liability: Tax base > Carrying Amount → DTL
For a liability: Tax base < Carrying Amount → DTA

Consolidated Financial Statements


(1) Temporary differences can also arise from adjustments on consolidation.
(2) Deferred tax is determined on the basis of the consolidated financial statements and not the individual
entity accounts.
(3) Therefore, the carrying value of an item in the consolidated accounts can be different from the
carrying value in the individual entity accounts, thus giving rise to a temporary difference.
(4) An example is the consolidation adjustment that is required to eliminate unrealized profits / losses
on intergroup transfer of inventory. Such an adjustment will give rise to a temporary difference,
which will reverse when the inventory is sold outside the group….refer Problem.

Problems 4: An entity purchases plant and equipment for $2 million. In the tax jurisdiction, there are no tax
allowances available for the depreciation of this asset; neither are any profits or losses on disposal taken into
account for taxation purposes. The entity depreciates the asset at 25% per annum. Taxation is 40%.
Required: Explain the deferred tax position of the plant and equipment on initial recognition and at the first
yearend after initial recognition. Also calculate DTL / DTA.
Solution: Tax base = Nil, DTA/ DTL = Nil. The entity will not receive any tax benefit in any way from the asset.
It is a permanent difference.
Problems 5: Menulist Limited a subsidiary of Catalogue Limited sold goods costing ₹ 10,00,000 to its parent
for ₹ 11,00,000 and all of these goods are still held in inventory at the year-end. Assume a tax rate of 40%.
Required: Explain the deferred tax implications.
Solution: The unrealized profit of ₹ 1,00,000 will have to be eliminated from the consolidated income
statement and from the consolidated balance sheet in group inventory. The sale of the inventory is a taxable
event, and it causes a change in the tax base of the inventory. The carrying amount in the consolidated financial
statements of the inventory will be ₹10,00,000, but the tax base is ₹11,00,000. This gives rise to a deferred tax
asset of ₹1,00,000 at the tax rate of 40%, which is 40,000.
Problems 6: How to treat business combinations under Ind AS-12?
Solution: With limited exceptions, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business
combination are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. Temporary differences arise when
the tax bases of the identifiable assets required and liabilities assumed are not affected by the business
combination or are affected differently. For example, when the carrying amount of an asset is increased to fair
value but the base of the assets remains at cost to the previous owner, a taxable temporary difference arises
which results in a deferred tax liability. The resulting deferred tax liability affects goodwill.
Problems 7: How to treat goodwill in Ind AS-12?
Solution: Many jurisdictions do not allow reductions in the carrying amount of goodwill as a deductible
expense in determining taxable profit. Moreover, in such jurisdictions, the cost of goodwill is often not
deductible when a subsidiary disposes of its underlying business. In such jurisdictions, goodwill has a tax base
of nil. Any difference between the carrying amount of goodwill and its tax base of nil is a taxable temporary
difference. However, this standard does not permit the recognition of the resulting deferred tax liability
If the carrying amount of goodwill arising in a business combination is less than its tax base, the difference
gives rise to a deferred tax asset. The deferred tax asset arising from the initial recognition of goodwill shall
be recognised as part of the accounting for a business combination to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference could be utilised.
Deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences relating to goodwill are, however, recognized to the
extent they do not arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. For example, if in a business combination
an entity recognizes goodwill of ₹ 100 that is deductible for tax purposes at a rate of 20 per cent per year
starting in the year of acquisition, the tax base of the goodwill is ` 100 on initial recognition and Rs 80 at the
end of the year of acquisition. If the carrying amount of goodwill at the end of the year of acquisition remains
unchanged at Rs 100, a taxable temporary difference of Rs 20 arises at the end of that year. Because that
taxable temporary difference does not relate to the initial recognition of the goodwill, the resulting deferred
tax liability is recognized.

Some important points on Ind AS-16


(1) Scope of Ind AS- 16
The requirements of Ind AS 16 are applied to accounting for all property, plant, and equipment unless another
Standard permits otherwise, except:
◘◘ Property, plant, and equipment classified as held for sale in accordance with Ind AS-105
◘◘ Biological assets relating to agricultural activity under Ind AS - 41
◘◘ Mineral rights, mineral reserves, and similar non-regenerative resources

(2) Criteria for Recognition


An item of property, plant, and equipment should be recognized as an asset if and only if it
is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of
the item can be measured reliably. Any expenditure incurred that meets these recognition criteria must be
accounted for as an asset.

(3) Measurement for Recognition


Cost in case of purchase in consideration of cash
An item of property, plant, and equipment that satisfies the recognition criteria should be recognized initially
at its cost. The Standard specifies that cost comprises:
◘◘ Purchase price, including import duties, nonrefundable purchase taxes, less trade discounts and
rebates.
IND AS 16: PLANT, PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT 31

◘◘ Costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be
used in a manner intended by the entity
◘◘ Initial estimates of dismantling, removing, and site restoration costs.
Examples of directly attributable costs include
◘◘ Employee benefits of those involved in the construction or acquisition of an asset
◘◘ Cost of site preparation
◘◘ Initial delivery and handling costs
◘◘ Installation and assembly costs
◘◘ Costs of testing, less the net proceeds from the sale of any product arising from test production (Trial
run).
◘◘ Borrowing costs to the extent permitted by Ind AS 23, Borrowing Costs
◘◘ Professional fees
Examples of costs that are not directly attributable costs and therefore must be expensed in the income statement
include
◘◘ Costs of opening a new facility (inaugural expenses)
◘◘ Costs of introducing a new product or service e.g.: advertisement
◘◘ Office and administration expenses e.g.: office rent
◘◘ Advertising and promotional costs
◘◘ Costs of conducting business in a new location or with a new class of customer
◘◘ Training costs
◘◘ Administration and other general overheads
◘◘ Costs of incidental operations, Example: cost of material for sample testing (not intended to be for
commercial reason)
◘◘ Initial operating losses e.g.: loss of gross profit due to low capacity.
◘◘ Costs of relocating or reorganizing part or all of an entity’s operations e.g.: costs of shifting business.

PROBLEM & SOLUTIONS

Problem 1: Pollisure Limited is installing a new plant at its production facility. It has incurred these costs: 1)
Cost of the plant (cost as per supplier’s invoice plus taxes) ₹ 75,00,000, includes refundable taxes ₹ 1,70,000
and non – refundable taxes ₹ 6,45,000, 2) Initial delivery and handling costs ₹ 200,000, 3) Cost of site
preparation 5,00,000, 4) Consultants used for advice on the acquisition of the plant ₹700,000, 5) Estimated
dismantling costs to be incurred after 5 years ₹ 5,20,000, 6) Trial run costs : Materials ₹ 2,20,000, Labour
₹ 1,87,000, Overheads ₹ 1,70,000. The entire product was sold at 75% of cost. 7) Inauguration expenses
₹25,000, 8) Operating losses before commercial production 1,10,000. Discounting rate: 10%.
Required: Please advise Pollisure Limited on the costs that can be capitalized in accordance with Ind AS - 16.
Solution:
According to Ind AS - 16, these costs can be capitalized:
Cost of the plant:
Purchase price ₹ 75,00,000 - refundable taxes ₹ 1,70,000 +Initial delivery and handling costs ₹ 200,000
+ Cost of site preparation 5,00,000 + Consultants used for advice on the acquisition of the plant
₹700,000 + PV of Estimated dismantling costs to be incurred after 5 years ₹ 3,22,879* + Trial run costs
: Materials ₹ 2,20,000+Labour ₹ 1,87,000+Overheads ₹ 1,70,000 – Sale proceeds of trail run production
(187000+170,000+220,000) × 0.75 = ₹ 95,37,129.
32 Accounting Standards

Inauguration expenses ₹25,000, Operating losses before commercial production ₹1,10,000 cannot be
capitalized. They should be written off to the income statement in the period they are incurred.
* PV of ₹ 5,20,000 = ₹5,20,000 / (1+0.10)5 = ₹ 3,22,879

COST IN CASE OF EXCHANGE OF ASSET


If an asset is acquired in exchange for another asset, then the acquired asset is measured at its fair value. In
the following cases the deemed cost will not be the Fair Value:
(i) if the exchange lacks commercial substance
(ii) or the fair value cannot be reliably measured,
in which case the acquired asset should be measured at the carrying amount of the asset given up.
COST OF ASSET IN CASE OF SHARE BASED PAYMENT: If the asset is acquired under share based payment
transaction, its cost will be determined as per Ind AS – 102.
COST OF ASSET IN CASE OF DEFERRED CREDIT BASIS: The cost of an asset is measured at the cash price
equivalent at the date of acquisition. If payment is “deferred” beyond normal credit terms, then the difference
between the cash price and the total price is recognized as a finance cost and treated accordingly. The general
practice is not to discount the future cash flows. (for illustration refer Ind AS- 2).
DISMANTLE AND RESTORATION COST: Dismantle and site restoration cost is to be capitalized to the cost
of an asset. It is incurred while the asset is installed. A provision at present value is required for the site
restoration cost on the other hand. In case of a Mine site restoration costs is to be added to the mine. But
the further digging and extracting of ore is to be added to the inventory production while the inventory is
extracted.

Discussion on Component a/c, Spare Parts, Standby Equipment, Overhauling as per


Ind AS - 16
Component Accounting
Recognition: Useful life specified in the Schedule II to the Companies Act is for whole of the asset. Where
cost of a part of the asset is significant to the total cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from
the useful life of the remaining asset, useful life of that significant part will be determined separately. Ind
AS and Schedule II mandates ‘component approach’, which is in line with international practices. It requires
companies to separately depreciate part of an asset that are significant and have a useful life different from
the useful life of the asset as a whole. Previously companies use to charge component replacement to profit /
loss account. But now it will be separately capitalised.

Deprecation: Depreciation of component is to be independently depreciated separate from the remaining


asset.

Examlpe: Building and its Elevator can be treated as a separate component. Also Aircraft body and its
engine can be treated as two separate assets.

Derecognition: Old component will be eliminated (derecognized) and new asset will be recognized.
Depreciation of such component is independent of other assets.

Stand - By Equipment
Recognition: It is a separate asset and hence qualifies for PPE.
Deprecation: It is depreciated as per normal rates provided in Schedule II.
IND AS 16: PLANT, PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT 33

Derecognition: SBE will be eliminated (derecognized) separately and a new asset will be recognized.
Depreciation of such SBE is independent of other assets.

Major spares
Recognition: Major spare parts also known as capital spare parts. They are used in relation to specific
machinery. They are capitalized when consumed.
Deprecation: Such spare parts are depreciated over the useful life of the principal asset.
Derecognition: When machinery spares and component parts are replaced the old part is derecognized and
new part is recognized. The depreciation of the replaced parts will be only to the extent of the life of the old
asset.
Other spare parts like consumables, maintenance supplies
Recognition: They are expensed to P/L on consumption.
Deprecation: N.A.
Derecognition: When such spares are replaced by new parts, the carrying amount of old part is continued to
be depreciated. Cost of new part is written – off.
Presentation in B/S:
Stand By Equipment → Separate fixed asset
Unconsumed component / major spare parts → capital wip (fixed asset)
Unconsumed other spare parts → Inventory (current asset)
CASE LAW
FCL operates a fleet of helicopters. FCL holds a large stock of rotables, which is an integral part of the helicopters. The rotables
have a life of more than 1 year.
Here rotables satisfy both th conditions of PPE: Rotables held for goods and services. Also the expected life is more than 1
year. Rotables are major spare part and hence capitalized.

Overhauling expenses (subsequently incurred)


Recognition: Regular inspections and overhaul charges à Transferred to P/L.
Major inspections and overhaul charges (may be once in 3-4 years) à Separately Capitalised
Deprecation: Such capitalized overhaul is to be depreciated till the next overhaul.
Derecognition: N.A.
Compensation for impairment: For impairment losses, reference should be made to IAS 36. In this context,
any compensation received for impairment or loss of an asset shall be included in the income statement.
Measurement After Recognition:
After initial recognition of an item of property, plant, and equipment, the asset should be measured using
either the cost model or the revaluation model.
The cost model requires an asset, after initial recognition, to be carried at cost less accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses.
The revaluation model requires an asset, after initial recognition, to be measured at a revalued amount, which
is its fair value less subsequent depreciation and impairment losses. In this case, fair value must be reliably
measurable. Revaluations must be made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount is not
materially different from fair value. However, if an asset is revalued, then the entire class of asset must be
revalued, again to avoid “cherry-picking” and a mixture of valuation bases.
Provisions regarding Revaluation with depreciation is same as AS-10. Upward / downward revaluations,
utilising of Revaluation surplus is also similar.
34 Accounting Standards

DO YOU KNOW
In Ind AS-16 Revaluation Surplus is passed through Other Comprehensive Income net off tax (DTL) and cred-
ited ultimately to equity.

Derecognition: Derecognition is the opposite of recognition. The carrying amount of an item of property,
plant, and equipment shall be derecognized:
(a) on disposal (disposal can be sale / entering into finance lease / donation),
(b) when no future economic benefit is expected from its use or disposal.
Any gain on disposal is the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the
asset. Gains on disposal shall not be classified in the income statement as revenue, it will be shown as Other
Income.

DO YOU KNOW
Transferring an asset from use to Held for Sale is not dercognition but reclassification of asset.

Stripping costs: In oil and gas exploration, exploration and production costs are accounted for using the
successful efforts method. Under this method, costs of successful exploratory drilling and drilling operations
are capitalized as property, plant, and equipment.
Successful drillings are depreciated based on the production and the estimated available resources.
Geophysical investigations, including unsuccessful exploratory drilling, exploratory and exploratory dry-hole
costs are charged against income.

PROVISION FOR DEPRECIATION


Remember provisions relating to Depreciation are same in Ind AS-16 and Schedule II.
Meaning of Depreciation, Rates (covered by Part ‘C’ of Schedule II), Method (SLM, WDV and Units of production
method), provisions are same.
Derecognition of Depreciation: As per Ind AS- 16; Depreciation will be derecognized on Sale, on eliminating
an asset which provides no economic benefits, reclassification of asset from fixed asset to NCA – Held for Sale

Some important points on Ind AS-17


Scope: The Standard shall not be applied in the measurement of
◘◘ Property held by lessees as an investment property (see IAS 40)
◘◘ Investment property provided by lessors under operating leases (see IAS 40)
◘◘ Biological assets held by lessees under finance leases (see IAS 41)
◘◘ Biological assets provided by lessors under operating leases (see IAS 41)
37 Accounting Standards

Special provision on Land in Ind AS – 17


◘◘ Leases of land, if title is not transferred, are classified as operating leases, as land has an indefinite
economic life.
◘◘ If the title to the land is not expected to pass to the lessee, then the risks and rewards of ownership
have not substantially passed, and an operating lease is created for the land.
◘◘ Leases of land and buildings need to be treated separately, as often the land lease is an operating lease
and the building lease, a finance lease. Difficulties arise because the minimum lease payments need
to be allocated between the land and the building element in proportion to their relative fair values
of the leasehold interests at the beginning of the lease. If the allocation cannot be made reliably, then
both leases are treated as finance leases or as operating leases, depending on which classification the
arrangement more clearly follows.
Commencement of lease and inception of lease: As per Ind AS-17 inception of lease is the earlier of date
of the lease agreement and the date of commitment of the parties to the terms of lease. The commencement
of lease is the date when the lessee can use the leased asset.
Incentives and inflation: Appendix A to Ind AS- 17 requires all incentives for the operating lease to be
recognized as a part of lease. The lessor recognizes the aggregate cost of incentives as a reduction from total
lease rentals and the balance should be recognized on straight line basis or any other systematic pattern.
Lease rentals are recognized on SLM except in the following 2 cases:
(a) Any other basis is more representative of the time pattern of the user’s benefit. Ex: ration of
production under a patent right.
(b) Lease rentals are structured to increase in line with the inflation.

PROBLEM & SOLUTIONS

Problem 1: Duruyog Zanmash Firm has entered into a lease of property whereby the title to the land
does not pass to the entity at the end of the lease but the title to the building passes after 15 years. The
lease commenced on 1/4/2015, when the value of the land was ₹540 lakhs and the building value was ₹180
lakhs. Annual lease rentals paid in arrears commencing on 31/3/2016, are ₹60 lakhs for land and ₹ 20 lakhs
for buildings. The entity has allocated the rentals on the basis of their relative fair values at the start of the
lease. The payments under the lease terms are reduced after every 6 years, and the minimum lease term is
30 years. The net present value of the minimum lease payments at 1/4/2015, was ₹ 400 lakhs for land and ₹
170 lakhs for buildings. Building is written off on straight-line basis over their useful life of 15 years. Assume
an effective interest rate of 7%.
Required: Discuss how DZ Firm should treat this lease under Ind AS 17.
Solution:
Ind AS 17 requires the substance of the transaction to be reviewed and the extent to which the risks and
rewards of ownership of the leased asset are transferred to be determined. If the risks and rewards of
ownership are substantially transferred to the lessee, then the lease is a finance lease. The Standard requires
the land and buildings elements to be considered separately. Normally a lease of land will be regarded as an
operating lease unless the title passes to the lessee. In this case the title does not pass and the present value
of the lease payments is only 74% of the fair value of the land, which does not constitute substantially all of
the fair value of the leased asset, one of the criteria for the determination of a finance lease. Land will not be
recorded as an asset.
In case of the building, the title passes after 15 years, and the lease runs for the whole of its economic life,
which indicates a finance lease. The present value of the minimum lease payments is 94% of the fair value of
the lease at its inception, an amount that indicates that the lessee is effectively purchasing the building.

AS – 15 as well as Ind AS – 19 both the standards require an entity to recognize: A liability when an
employee has provided service in exchange for employee benefits to be paid in future.
41 Accounting Standards

Some more important points on Ind AS-19


(1) Informal practice : As per Ind AS – 19 the employee costs can also arise due to informal practice.
Obligations are normally enforceable due to statutory act, agreement, but some - times due to some
informal practice provisions are required to be made…….this is discussed in Ind AS-37.
For Example: Workers have rendered the service for the year ended 2015-16 hence a provision is
necessary for bonus for 2015-16 even if bonus is paid in November 2016. Bonus becomes constructive
obligation either due to the bonus act, due to an agreement between employer and employee or
sometimes bonus has to be provided for keeping good business relations…………….also refer Ind AS-
37 ….Provisions.
(2) Recognition principles for Termination benefits: Termination benefits are required to be
accounted differently from other employee benefits because it arises due to termination of
employment and not by rendering of service. AS – 15 highly depends upon AS-29 for Termination
benefits. In Ind AS-19 Termination benefits are provided based on some events to take place. It is the
earlier of the following events:
(i) when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits,
(ii) when the entity recognizes costs for a restructuring that even includes cost of Termination
benefits.
(3) Actuarial gains and losses: It is also known as measurements. The Actuarial gain / loss arising on
account of retirement benefit is immediately transferred to income statement (OCI) and remember
recycling is not allowed. The Actuarial gain / loss arising on account of LTB is immediately transferred
to income statement (P/L) a/c.
The fact that actuarial gain / loss arising on account of defined benefit plans are now recognized in
OCI means they will permanently bypass profit or loss.
(4) Net interest concept: As per AS – 15 the interest cost on defined benefit obligation and the expected
return on plan assets are recorded separately. In Ind AS- 19 it is net interest. Net interest income /
expense = (FV of Plan Asset or PV of Obligation) whichever is higher x discounting rate.

Actuarial gains during the year ₹ 32,000
Remaining life of the employees is 12 years.
During the year Net actuarial gains recorded ₹ 12,000.
Solution:
(1) AS PER INDIAN GAAP AS-15: The entire actuarial gain is transferred to profit / loss. The entire gain
₹ 42,000 (12+30) transferred to P/L under the head Employee cost.
(2) AS PER IND AS - 19: The entire actuarial gain ₹ 42,000 is transferred to other comprehensive income account.
(3) AS PER IAS – 19 following 3 options available:
(ii) Corridor Approach of 10%
Step 1): Higher of 10% of PV of obligation or FV of plan assets = 10% of higher of (`4,00,000 or `3,20,000) = `40,000.
Step 2): Excess of 70,000 and 40,000 = i.e. opening cumulative actuarial g/l – Step 2 = `30,000
Step 3) Gain credit to Other Comprehensive income = Step 2 / N = `30,000 / 12 = ₹ 2500.
IND AS 19: ACCOUNTING FOR EMPLOYEES BENEFITS 42

(ii) Fast write – off: The accumulated gain is to be written off equally over balance period = `70,000
+ `32000 = ₹ 8500
(iii) Transfer the entire actuarial g/l ₹ 42,000 to OCI.
Problem 2: Kastashu Ltd operates a defined benefit plan which provides to the employees covered under
the plan a pension benefit which is equal to 0.75% of final salary for each year of service. Employees need to
complete 5 years for becoming eligible. On 1/4/2015, the entity improve the pension benefit to 1% of final
salary for each year of service including prior years.
The PV of DBP is therefore increases by 50,00,000. Composition is as below:
Employees with more than 5 years : `40,00,000
Employees with less than 5 years : ` 10,00,000 (require another 2 years of service until vesting)
Comment on the recognition of past service cost both as per AS – 15 and Ind AS - 19.
Solution:
As per AS-15: Full `40,00,000 is to be provided as it is vested .
And ` 5,00,000 is to be provided (1/2 × `10,00,000) as the remaining vesting period id 2 years.
As per Ind AS-15: Full `50,00,000 is to be provided to profit and loss account. It cannot defer any part of the cost.
Problem 3: At 01.04.2015 the FV of plan assets was ` 10,000. The PV of the defined benefit obligation was
` 8000. Discount rate 7% and return on assets 7.5%. Find the net interest as per AS and Ind AS.
Solution:
AS – 15:
Interest cost = 8000 x 7% = ` 560
Expected return on plan assets = ` 10,000 x 7.5% = `750.

Ind AS – 16:
Interest cost = `8,000 x 7% = ` 560
Net expected return = (`10,000 – `8,000) x 7%.= ` 140.

Ind AS-20 deals with accounting of disclosures for government grants and
disclosures for other forms of government assistance.

Some important points on Ind AS-20


Government assistance, according to the Standard, is action by the government aimed at providing
economic benefits to some constituency by subsidizing entities that will provide them with jobs, services, or
goods that might not otherwise be either available or available at a desired cost. Depending on the nature of
the assistance given and the associated conditions, government assistance can be of many types, including
grants, forgivable loans, and indirect or nonmonetary forms of assistance, such as technical advice, free legal
advice, guarantee. Government assistance may not be recorded but requires disclosure.
IAS – 41: Ind AS-20 does not covers the Government grants related to IAS 41. Grants received for Biological
assets are covered specifically by Ind AS-41 itself. But grants related to agriculture produce is to be covered
by Ind AS – 20.
General Grants: Government grants to all : like LPG Subsidy to all companies is not covered by IAS – 20. This
is because Ind AS – 20 is applicable to entity specific grants.
Fair value: The amount for which an asset could be exchanged between a knowledgeable, willing buyer and
a knowledgeable, willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction.
Forgivable loans: Those loans that the lender undertakes to waive repayment of under certain prescribed
conditions.

DO YOU KNOW
Sales tax exemption is not government grant as per Ind AS – 20 but it is a grant as per AS – 12.
Government grant is not revenue but other income.

Problem 5: On 1 October 2016 Epsilon opened a new factory in an area designated by the government as
an economic development area. On that day the government provided Epsilon with a grant of $20 million to
assist them in the development of the factory. This grant was in two parts:
(i) $12 million of the grant related to the construction of a large factory at a cost of $60 million. The land
was leased so the whole of the $60 million is depreciable over the estimated 30 year useful life of the
factory.
(ii) The remaining $8 million was received subject to keeping at least 200 employees working at the
factory for a period of at least five years. If the number drops below 200 at any time in any financial
year in this five year period then 20% of the grant is repayable in that year. From 1 October 2016 :
250 workers were employed at the factory and estimates are that this number is likely to increase
over the next four years. Your assistant has recognised the $12 million received in respect of the
factory as a credit to the income statement in the current year, on the basis that the factory has been
constructed and brought into use. He has not recognized any of the $8 million employment grant on
the basis that this is potentially repayable. He has charged $2 million in depreciation to the income
statement. Comment.
Solution:
Accounting for government grants is dealt with by Ind AS 20 – accounting for government grants and disclosure
of government assistance. The basic principle of Ind AS 20 is that grants should be recognised as income over
the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate, on a
systematic basis.
Where the grant relates to an asset Ind AS 20 allows deferred method of presentation in the balance sheet.
In this case this would mean recognising $400,000 ($12 million x 1/30) as a credit to the income statement
in the current year with the balance of $11·6 million ($12 million – $400,000) shown in the balance sheet as
a liability. $400,000 of this amount would be shown as a current liability with the balance of $11·2 million
shown as a non-current liability.
The same principle applies to the grant related to the employment of staff. The grant is probably not going
to be repaid so delaying recognition is inappropriate. Unless the likelihood of repayment is remote then it
would be appropriate to disclose the possible repayment as a contingent liability. $1·6 million ($8 million
x 1/5) of the employment grant should be recognised in the income statement for the current year. Ind AS
20 allows this amount either to be shown as ‘other income’ or as a reduction in the relevant expense. The
unrecognised balance of $6·4 million ($8 million – $1·6 million) would be shown as deferred income, with
$1·6 million shown as a current liability and $4·8 million as a non-current liability.
But has the company followed AS-12 or IAS – 20 the grant related to the asset would have even be reduced
from the asset.

DO YOU KNOW
Asset purchased at a concessional price is to be recognized at Fair Value which is common in the following AS.
Ind AS – 12 itself → Government Grants
Ind AS – 16 → PPE
Ind AS – 38 → Intangible Assets.

Some important definitions
(1) Functional currency: Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the entity operates.
(2) Closing rate: The spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
(3) Spot rate: The exchange rate for immediate delivery.
48 Accounting Standards

Ind AS-21 stress on Functional Currency. First lets determine the entity’s
FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY
AS-11 considers the reporting currency as measurement currency. An entity normally uses the currency of
the country in which it is domiciled. Ind AS considers the functional currency.
The functional currency should be determined by looking at several factors. This currency should be
the one in which the entity normally generates and spends cash and in which transactions are normally
denominated…………………substance over form. All transactions in currencies other than the functional
currency are treated as transactions in foreign currencies. Five factors can be taken into account in making
this decision the currency:
(1) That mainly influences the price at which goods and services are sold
(2) Of the country whose competitive forces and regulations mainly influence the entity’s pricing policy
(3) That influences the material, labour costs of the entity
(4) In which finance is generated
(5) In which receipts from operating activities are retained

After determining the Functional Currency of an entity now lets decide the Functional Currency of FOREIGN
OPERATIONS. One has to define the functional currency of Foreign Operations.

LETS DECIDE THE FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY OF FOREIGN OPERATIONS


Foreign operation: FO is a subsidiary, associate, joint venture, or branch whose activities are based in
another country.
An entity will have to determine the functional currency of a foreign operation, such as a foreign subsidiary,
and whether it is the same currency as that of the reporting entity.
Factors:
(1) If the activities of foreign entity is an extension of the reporting entity business → then Functional
currency of Foreign Operation = Functional currency of Reporting Entity.
IND AS 21: EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES 49

(2) If the proportion of Foreign Operation’s transactions are in high proportion with the Reporting Entity
→ then Functional currency of Foreign Operation = Functional currency of Reporting Entity.
(3) If enough autonomy is given to the Foreign Operation: → then Functional currency of Foreign
Operation ≠ Functional currency of Reporting Entity.
(4) If the funds raised by Foreign Operation will be repaid by Reporting Entity → then Functional
currency of Foreign Operation ≠ Functional currency of Reporting Entity.
Problems 2: From the following determine Functional Currency of Solepal Ltd an Indian Subsidiary of
Polar Bills Inc an UK based company.
(1) Loans ₹ 40 lakhs and Equity ₹ 10 lakhs is carried in the books of Solepal Ltd. The entire loans will be

Problem 4: Tarape Ltd’s functional currency is Rupee. It has a building located in US acquired at a cost of US$
10,000 when the exchange rate was US$ 1=₹50. The building is carried at cost in the financial statements of T
Ltd. For the purpose of this example depreciation is ignored. At the balance sheet date, there is an indication
of impairment for this building. Consequently, an impairment test has been made in accordance with Ind AS
36 as at the balance sheet date and the recoverable amount of the building is determined to be US$ 9,500. The
exchange rate as at the balance sheet date is US$ 1= ₹53. Recoverable amount on 31/3 was $ 9500.
Solution: Though there is an impairment loss of US$ 500 (US$10,000-US$9,500) in terms of foreign currency,
there is no impairment loss in terms of functional currency. This is because, recoverable amount in terms of
functional currency (₹503,500) exceeds carrying amount (ie cost in this example) in terms of functional
currency (₹500,000). Hence, no impairment loss is recognised for the building.
Problem 5: Managme Ltd’s functional currency is Rupee. It has a building located in US acquired at a cost of
US$ 10,000 when the exchange rate was US$ 1=₹50. The building is carried at cost in the financial statements

decided to revalue upwards the property as per Ind AS-16. The MV = $ 15,000. The exchange rate as at the
balance sheet date is US$ 1= ₹53.
Solution: The revaluation gain of $15000 (53-50) i.e. ₹ 45,000 is transferred to Revaluation Reserves. If the
revaluation gain is transferred to Equity (Reserves) à the corresponding Fx gain will also be transferred to

As per ind as -21 it is not enough that the financial statements are recorded at functional currency. If the

Presentation currency: The currency that is used to present the financial statements.

DO YOU KNOW
In most of the cases the Functional Currency is same as Presentation Currency…………..its like every Maharash-
trian speaks Marathi.

Note this: Foreign Currency → Functional Currency → Presentation Currency.


Translation to presentation currency from the functional currency
An entity can present its financial statements in any currency. If the presentation currency differs from the
functional currency, the financial statements are retranslated into the presentation currency. If the financial
statements of the entity are not in the functional currency of a hyperinflationary economy, then they are
translated into the presentation currency in this way:
◘◘ Assets and liabilities (including any goodwill arising on the acquisition and any fair value adjustment)
are translated at the closing spot rate at the date of that balance sheet.
◘◘ The income statement is to be translated at the spot rate at the date of the transactions. (Average rates
are allowed if there is no great fluctuation in the exchange rates.)
All exchange differences are recognized in a separate component of equity.
Any exchange difference that relates to the minority interest is recognized in the balance sheet amount.

CASE LAW: For determining functional currency:
K Ltd is an Indian listed company engaged in providing IT outsourcing services in North America, Europe and
other countries. Other facts:
60-65% revenue is from US and remaining from other countries. No revenue from India is being earned.
Revenue earned is immediately converted into cash (`)
50-55% expenses (operating) incurred in India, 20-25% US and remaining in 4 other countries.
Loans raised in India. Only 10% of loans financed by US Capital hub. Share capital is fully generated in India.
Comment:
Solution: Significant portion of Operating costs is incurred in India. Employees may be paid in US but Salary
is not bench marked as per US market. Substantial part of total cost is government by Indian economic
environment.
Major revenue is earned from US market but it is an outsourcing business and US customer wants such
services. K Ltd is not only competing in US but also in other countries. Receipts are immediately converted
into INR.
Finance mostly by India Capital Channel.
Major Capital expenditure incurred in India.

PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS

Problem 1: Dipu Constructions took up an expansion project and the same was funded by a specific
borrowing 8% loan bonds of ₹ 100 crores. Loan bonds were issued at a discount of 1%. The entire loan will
be repaid at the end of 5 years. The entire project was ready by the end of the year calculate the borrowing
cost as per AS-16 and Ind AS – 23.
Solution:
As per Indian GAAP AS-16 BC = 100 x 8% + 1/5 (amortization of discount) = ₹ 8.20 crores
As per Ind AS – 23 / IAS – 23 the BC will be based on effective cost method:
Fair Value = PV of CFlows @ IRR
8 8 8 108
100-1 = + 2 + 2 +
(1+r) (1+r) (1+r) (1+r)2

By interpolation IRR or Effective Interest rate = 8.25%.
Borrowing costs to be capitalized = 99 crores x 8.25% = ₹ 8.17 crores.
Problem 2: Dhangar Ltd has a cattle field which serves the company milk, wool etc. The livestock is carried
at Fair Value. The opening fair value of livestock is ₹ 54,40,000. The closing fair value ₹ 67,33,000. Out of
which ₹ 2,00,000 worth was purchased during the year. Fresh borrowings were taken at the beginning of the
year to buy livestock. The total borrowings by the year end was ₹ 22,00,000 @ 12%. Calculate the borrowing
cost as per Ind AS – 23 and comment.
Solution:
Ind AS – 23 is not applicable on Assets carried at fair value. It is applicable on those assets which are carried
at cost less depreciation. Also further the assets should be qualifying assets. In the present case the entire BC
of ₹ 2,64,000 is charged to profit / loss account. BC should not be capitalized on biological assets.
Problem 3: Hyper Ltd is engaged in development of properties and further sell it in the open market. The
development process takes substantial period of time. It has financed its inventories by taking loan from
Yekoshore Development Bank € 75 million. The economy is under hyper inflationary situation. The interest
rate is 32%. The inflation is 200%. You are required to calculate the borrowing cost attributable towards the
capitalization of asset as per IAS – 23.
Solution:
Ind AS – 23: In case of Hyperinflationary situation the borrowing cots relate to the inflationary element is
charged to income statement and not to be capitalized.
Accordingly the effective (real element of) interest = 32% / 200% = 16%.
BC requires capitalization = 75 x 16% = € 12 million.
BC charged to P/L = 75 x 32% - 12 = € 12 million.

Differences between Ind AS-24 and IAS-24


Somewhere AS-24 wants us to define related party based on the term influence. Ind AS-24 considers the
factor influence but also provides some specific names of relative.

Some important points on Ind AS-12


(1) Definition of relative: Ind AS-24 defines relatives as: CLOSE FAMILY MEMBERS of a person
are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in
dealings with the entity : THEY INCLUDE:-
ww The person’s children (including step children), spouse or domestic partner;
ww Children (including step children) of the person’s spouse or domestic partner;
ww Dependents of the person or the person’s spouse or domestic partner
ww IND AS 24 uses the rule – based definition of “Relative” in the Companies Act 1956, (now
Companies Act 2013) though inclusion domestic partner, children of the domestic partner and
dependents of the domestic partner have been retained in IND-AS
(2) As per AS-18 State Controlled Enterprise (SCE) are Government controlled entity and are
exempted from disclosures. Ind As-24 provides a wider definition of SCE. It includes government
agencies, gvt dept, local govt, national govt as well as international govt.
(3) Compensation to Key Management Personnel: The same should be given in total and for each of
the following categories
ww Short term employee benefits
ww Post employment benefits
ww Other long term benefits
ww Termination benefits
ww Share based payments
(4) Analysis of Related Party (RP) relationship:
Control, Joint Control, Significance, JV , Subsidiary, Associates will carry the same meaning as covered
by AS-18. Specific analysis as per Ind AS 24 is as follows:
Rp as per ind as is that of person with reporting entity (re) and entity with re.

Relationship between Person / Individual / Human being Vs RE


(a) A PERSON OR A CLOSE MEMBER:
(i) Has Control OR joint control over the reporting entity;
(ii) Has significant influence over the reporting entity;
(iii) Is a Key management personnel of the reporting entity OR of a parent of the reporting entity.
(b) GROUP ENTITIES VS REPORTING ENTITY (RE):
The entire group of Holding, Subsidiary, Sub – subsidiary, Fellow Subsidiary are RPs. Here all entities
are related to each other. Fellow Subsidiary is the subsidiary under a common control with the RE.
Fellow Subsidiary is also known as Co-Subsidiary.
(c) PENSION AND OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT FUNDS:
Pension funds and similar post employment funds for the benefit of employees of the entity (or any
entity that is a related party to the entity), are related parties to the entity.
If the reporting entity is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the reporting
entity. Pension fund that is operated for the benefit of employees in a GROUP is a related party of
each entity.
IND AS 24: RELATED PARTY 58

(d) ASSOCIATES, JV VS REPORTING ENTITY (RE):


(i) Investors and their associates are related parties (direct relationship)
(ii) Venturers and their Joint Ventures are related parties (again direct relationship)
(iii) An entity being a Joint Venture of a third entity and the other entity being an associate of the same
third party, are related parties. In other words A JV and an Associate entity jointly controlled/
influenced by a common investor.(see diagrammatic presentation)
(iv) Two entities being joint ventures of the same third party are related parties (Fellow JVs)
(v) Where the reporting entity is member of a Group, an associate or Joint Venture of another entity,
also within the same Group, are related parties to the reporting entity.
(vi) Where a reporting entity has an associate or a Joint Venture, the Associate’s or Joint Venture’s
subsidiaries, will be related parties to the reporting entity.
(e) ENTITIES UNDER COMMON CONTROL / INFLUENCE BY A PERSON (OR CLOSE MEMBER):
(i) An entity is related to the reporting entity, If the person, control / jointly controls the reporting entity
also control / jointly control the entity.
(ii) An entity is related to the reporting entity, If the person controlling the reporting entity, has significant
influence over the other entity or is a KMP of the other entity.

DO YOU KNOW
Co – associates and Co – Venturer are not RPs.
Co-Venturer share joint control of a joint venture.

DO YOU KNOW
Co – associates carry common significance influence by an investor.
Ind AS – 24 treats a corporate investor and an individual investor in the same manner.

PROBLEMS & SOLUTION

Problem 1: Firru Polinic entity prepares quarterly interim financial reports in accordance with IAS 34. The
entity sells electrical goods, and normally 5% of customers claim on their warranty. The provision in the first
quarter was calculated as 5% of sales to date, which was ₹ 10 lakhs. However, in the second quarter, a design
fault was found and warranty claims were expected to be 10% for the whole of the year. Sales in the second
quarter were ₹ 15 lakhs. What would be the provision charged in the second quarter’s interim financial
statements?
Solution: Warranty provision in the second IFR = [10% of (10 + 15) – (5% of 10)], that is, ₹2 lakhs.

Problem 1: Banuli Ltd has acquired 60% shares in Parmera Ltd.at ` 75,00,000. Net assets of P Ltd at the
time of acquisition was Rs 80,00,000. On 31/3/2015 Fair Value of net assets as on year ending estimated at
`1,00,00,000.
Required: Calculate impairment loss arising as on 31/3/2015, for the cash-generating unit assuming if
impairment indicators exist as well as if no impairment indicators exist.
Solution: if impairment indicators exist:
Cost of the investments = `75,00,000
Share in FV of Net Assets = ` 60,00,000 (60% of 1,00,00,000)
Impairment loss = Carrying Amount – Recoverable Value = 75 - 60 = ₹15,00,000.
Journal: ₹ ₹

To Investments 15,00,000
Problem 2: How to test impairment of goodwill? How to allocate such impairment loss to CGU

Solution: Goodwill should be tested for impairment annually.
To test for impairment, goodwill must be allocated to each of the acquirer’s cash -generating units, or groups
of cash -generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of
whether other assets or liabilities of the acquire are assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or
group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated shall:
◘◘ represent the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal manage-
ment purposes; and
◘◘ not be larger than an operating segment determined in accordance with Ind AS 108
Operating Segments
A cash -generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated shall be tested for impairment at least annually by
comparing the carrying amount of the unit, including the goodwill, with the recoverable amount of the unit:

A practical IFRS disclosure


Site Restoration and Other Environmental Provisions
The Group provides for the costs of restoring a site where a legal or constructive obligation exists. The
cost of raising a provision before exploitation of the raw materials has commenced is included in property,
plant, and equipment and depreciated over the life of the site. The effect of any adjustments to the provision
due to further environmental damage is recorded through operating costs over the life of the site to reflect
the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at balance sheet date. Changes in the
71 Accounting Standards

measurement of a provision that result from changes in the estimated timing or amount of cash outflows, or
a change in the discount rate, are added to, or deducted from, the cost of the related asset as appropriate in
the current period. All provisions are discounted to their present value based on a long-term borrowing rate.

Some important points on Ind AS – 37


(1) Discounting long term provisions: Site restoration costs to be capitalized to the cost of an asset. It is
incurred while the asset is installed. A provision at present value is required for the site restoration
cost on the other hand. Even other provisions are required to be discounted.
Illustration: Workers of a company filed a suit against the accident which recently took place in the premises
of the company. One fellow worker lost a hand in the accident. The company accepted the obligation but the
workers demanded a huge amount hence the case has been filed in the court. The company is ready to go to
the Supreme Court for exact compensation.
The experts regarding the case suggested a compensation of Rs. 10,00,000 to be provided. It is further
estimated that SC will dispose off the case over 6 years. Risk free rate is 6%. Compute the provision for the
first year.
Solution:
Year 1:
Profit / loss Dr 7,04,960 (10,00,000 / 1.066)
To Provision for compensation 7,04,960
(Being provision made for workers compensation at present value)
Discount (P/L) Dr 42,298 (704960 x 6%)
To Provision for compensation 42,298
(Being unwinding of discount)
(2) Constructive obligation: In accordance with Ind AS – 37, a constructive obligation derives from
an entity’s actions. It includes the valid expectation on the part of other parties, past practice,
announcements etc. Ultimately provision is required not only for legal obligation but also for
constructive obligation. Where else AS-29 considers legal obligation. Even though it does not
specifically excludes constructive obligation.
Example: constructive obligation: Workers of company X Ltd positively expects bonus in the month
of November as the company is highly profit making company. The company has to make a provision
even if no legal obligation arises. This is constructive obligation.
CSR is not a legal obligation for those companies not falling under the CSR provisions. Whether it is
a constructive obligation depends.
(3) Restructuring provision: Restructuring provision is made on constructive obligation. In contrast
AS 29 requires restructuring provision to be made based on legal obligation. For ex: A company
has made a public announcement to close a business or job curtailment has been announced for a
division. Of course discontinuing operations and provisions goes hand in hand.

Restructuring provisions should be accrued as follows


◘◘ Sale of operation: Accrue provision only after a binding sale agreement is entered. If binding agree-
ment is entered after balance sheet date, disclose but do not accrue.
◘◘ Closure or reorganization: Here few meetings are not enough. Accrue after a detailed forml plan is
prepared and announced publicly.
◘◘ Future operating losses: Future operating losses should not be recorded in any case.

PROBLEMS & SOLUTION

Problem 1: A Indian based shipping company lost an entire shipload of cargo valued at ₹50 lakhs on a
voyage to Australia. It is, however, covered by an insurance policy. According to the report of the surveyor the
amount is collectible, subject to the deductible clause (i.e., 10% of the claim) in the insurance policy. Before
year-end, the shipping company received a letter from the insurance company that a letter was in the mail
for 90% of the claim.
The international freight forwarding company that entrusted the shipping company with the delivery of the
cargo overseas has filed a lawsuit for ₹50 lakhs, claiming the value of the cargo that was lost on high seas,
and also consequential damages of ₹20 lakhs resulting from the delay. According to the legal counsel of the
shipping company, it is probable that the shipping company would have to pay the ₹ 50 lakhs, but it is a
73 Accounting Standards

remote possibility that it would have to pay the additional ₹ 20 lakhs claimed by the international freight
forwarding company, since this loss was specifically excluded in the freight forwarding contract.
Required: What provision or disclosure would the shipping company need to make at year-end?
Solution: The shipping company would need to recognize a contingent asset of ₹ 45 lakhs (the amount that is
virtually certain of collection……………refer theory of reimbursement). Also it would need to make a provision
for ₹ 50 lakhs towards the claim of the international freight forwarding company. Because the probability of
the claim of ₹ 20 lakhs is remote, no provision or disclosure would be needed for that.
Problem 2: Pratapta Zesty operates a fleet of 200 delivery vehicles. On 1 January 2018 legislation was
passed requiring all such vehicles to undergo modifications to reduce the amount of harmful emissions they
produce or face large ongoing financial penalties. The legislation require that modifications be completed by
31 March 2018.
The approximate cost of such modifications is ₹5,000 per vehicle. Pratapta Zesty has not yet modified any of
its vehicles.
The government has not yet imposed any penalties on Pratapta but the legislation indicated that the annual
penalty will be ₹4,000 per vehicle. This amount will be payable for every complete year from 1 April 2018
that modifications do not take place and vehicles continue to be operated. The penalty will be levied pro-rata
for any part year of non-compliance. Year ending is 30th September.
Solution: The key issue here is the extent of any provisions that need to be made in respect of the vehicle
modifications. This issue is governed by Ind AS 37- Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets.
Ind AS 37 states that a provision is required where, at the reporting date:
◘◘ The entity has a present obligation arising out of a past event
◘◘ There is a probable future outflow of economic benefits
◘◘ The outflow can be estimated reliably.
A key factor in the above criteria is that the obligations must be unavoidable. As far as the modifications are
concerned although the legislation took effect from 31 March 2018 the vehicle have nevertheless been used
for six months in the current financial year so there cannot be any unavoidable obligation to modify them at
the reporting date.
One obligation that does appear to be unavoidable is the penalties that will become payable as a result of the
illegal use of the vehicles from the effective date of the legislation. Therefore a provision of 4,00,000 (200×4×6/12)
would be necessary due to the illegal operation of the vehicles for six months. This provision would be recognized
as a liability in the statement of financial position, with a charge of 4,00,000 in the income statement.
Problem 3: On 31 March 2018 Kallappa was in the process of defending a legal case brought against it for
damages caused due to the supply by Kallappa of faulty products. Kallappa’s lawyers provided the following
estimates of the likely outcome of the case:
A 70% chance of defending the case successfully.
A 20% chance of being required to pay ₹3 million in damages.
A 10% chance of being required to pay ₹5 million in damages.
The draft financial statements included a provision for ₹1.1 million(70% x nil + 20% x $3 million + 10% x $5
million). The charge in the statement of comprehensive income was made to administrative expenses.
The directors of Kappa have estimated that the legal costs of defending the case will total ₹4,00,000. ₹
3,00,000 of this has already been invoiced by the lawyers covering fees up to and including 31 March 2018.
Kallappa has included ₹ 3,00,000 in trade payables and charged ₹3,00,000 to administrative expenses, but
has not provided for the expected future costs of ₹1,00,000.
In the event of successfully defending the case, the directors of Kallappa believe there is a ‘good chance’ that
they will be able to recover their legal costs, but they have not yet reflected this fact in the draft financial
statements.
IND AS 37: Provisions, Contingent liabilities, Contingent assets. 74

Solution: Under the provisions of Ind AS 37- provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets- where
a single obligation is being measured the provision that is recognized should be for the most likely outcome.
In the case the most likely outcome is that the case will be successfully defended so no provision should
be made for possible damages, although the range of outcomes should be disclosed. Therefore 1.1 million
should be removed from administrative expenses.
As far as the legal costs are concerned these will be payable to the lawyers irrespective of whether or not
the case is successfully defended. The event giving rise to the legal claim, has occurred before the year end.
Therefore the full amount of the likely costs should be provided for and 1,00,000 added to administrative
expenses. The issue of a potential reimbursement needs to be considered separately. Ind AS 37 states that an
asset (and therefore a reduction in expenses) should only be recognized if reimbursement is virtually certain.
Therefore Kallappa is correct not to reflect this in the financial statements.

(1) A change in Historical cost can undergo a change due to government grant (reduction of grant from

cost of fixed asset. Hence Historical cost does not get affected by grants.

Additional points in relation to Ind AS – 38.


Modes of Acquisition of IA
(1) Separately acquired IA.
(2) IA acquired through business combinations, government grants, exchange assets.
(3) Internally generated.
IA acquired in Business Acquisition: In case of business combinations Goodwill is the residual cost after
recognizing all assets and liabilities. Ind AS- 103 recommends that all possible IA should be separately
identified and recognized before considering goodwill. If an IA is acquired and fair value can be possible,
then the IA should be first determined @ Fair Value and balance as goodwill.
Infinite life in case of IA: As per AS-26 IA carrying infinite life ex: Stock Membership Card, is to be amortized
over 10 years maximum. But in case of Ind AS – 38 IA assets with indefinite useful lives are not to be amortized.
However, the asset must be tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that it may be
impaired.

WEB SITE DEVELOPMENT COSTS


The advent of the Internet has created new ways of performing tasks that were unknown in the past. Most
entities have their own Web site that serves as an introduction of the entity and its products and services
to the world at large. A Web site has many of the characteristics of both tangible and intangible assets. With
virtually every entity incurring costs on setting up its own Web site, there was a real need to examine this
issue from an accounting perspective.
An interpretation in relation to —Web Site Costs.
SIC 32 lays down guidance on the treatment of Web site costs consistent with the criteria for capitalization
of costs established by IAS 38. According to SIC 32, a Web site that has been developed for the purposes of
promoting and advertising an entity’s products and services does not meet the criteria for capitalization of
costs under IAS 38. Thus costs incurred in setting up such a Web site should be expensed.

Objective of Ind AS-40


This Standard prescribes criteria for the accounting treatment for, measurement and disclosures relating to,
investment property.
Scope: The Standard applies to: (i) the measurement in a lessee’s financial statements of investment property
held under a finance lease; (ii) the measurement in the lessor’s financial statements of investment property
leased out under an operating lease. However, all other aspects relating to leases, their accounting and their
disclosure, are dealt with in Ind AS 17, Leases.
The Standard does not deal with biological assets related to agricultural activity (see Ind AS 41) or to mineral
rights and mineral reserves such as oil, natural gas and similar non - regenerative resources (see Ind AS - 106).
Definition: (in accordance with Ind AS 40)
Investment property : Investment property is land or building, or both, held by the owner or the lessee under
a finance lease to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, rather than for use in production or supply of
goods and services or for administrative purposes or for sale in the ordinary course of business.
Owner-occupied property: Property held by the owner or the lessee under a finance lease for use in
production or supply of goods and services or for administrative purposes.
Special case of operating lease: (not applicable to Ind AS-40 but applicable to IAS-40)
Property interests held by a lessee under an operating lease may (i.e., it is optional) be classified and
recognized as an investment property if and only if the property would otherwise meet the definition of an
investment property and the property is measured using the fair value model (described later). This aspect
of recognizing investment property is a comparatively recent addition and was included in response to the
fact that in some countries, properties are held under long leases that provide, for all intents and purposes,
rights that are similar to those of an outright buyer. The inclusion in the Standard of such interests permits
the lessee to measure such assets at fair value as cost cannot be possible.

Distinguishing characteristics of investment property


◘◘ Investment property generates cash flows that are largely independent from other assets. The cash
flows have no connection with the actual business.
◘◘ In case of owner-occupied property the owner is actively engaged in the business activity. But in case
of investment property the owner relaxes (i.e. plays a very passive role).
◘◘ In case of owner-occupied property the owner is using the asset on a going concern basis hence gains
on revaluation is added to equity and not treated as realized gains. But in case of investment property
the revaluation gains is transferred to income account.
◘◘ It is purely held for rentals and long term capital appreciation.
◘◘ Hence investment property requires a distinct and separate set of accounting and disclosure principles.
Other issues
Part of the property held by owner for his business: In some instances, an entity occupies part of a property
and leases out the balance. If the two portions can be sold separately, each is accounted for appropriately. If
the portions cannot be sold separately, then the entire property is treated as investment property only if an
insignificant proportion is owner-occupied.
Precisely what is meant by “insignificant” is not defined and is left to judgment. However, in other Standards,
indications are that 2% may be an applicable level.
Owner is providing other services with the property: Sometimes a property owner provides ancillary
services, such as cleaning, maintenance, and security. Provided that such services are insignificant to the
arrangement as whole, then the property is an investment property.
In other cases—for instance, a hotel—services can be significant. In such case where the owner himself is
providing significant services other than letting out property then it is said that the property is used for
business. Ind AS-16 is applicable.
CFS level: An issue arises with groups of companies wherein one group company leases a property to
another. At group, or consolidation level, the property is owner-occupied. However, at individual company
level, the owning entity treats the building as investment property. Appropriate consolidation adjustments
would need to be made in the group accounts.
Property under construction: Earlier property under construction was accounted as Capital WIP Ind AS-
16. After the amendment to Ind AS-40 property under construction is now accounted as per Ind AS-40.

Case Study on Ind AS-40


Chandiwala Associates Limited (CA Ltd) and its subsidiaries have provided you a list of the properties they
own are as follows:
(a) Land held by CA Ltd for future sale after some 5 years
(b) A vacant building owned by CA Ltd and to be leased out under an operating lease
(c) Property held as a wing of real estate business
(d) Property held by CA Ltd as a Warehouse to store goods.
(e) A hotel owned by CA Ltd. and appointed an external party Lucky Firm for providing hotel management
services. CA Ltd is not responsible for the hotel services as it will be undertaken by Lucky Firm.
(f) Land, Building, Furniture fittings provided on rental basis.
(g) S1 a subsidiary of CA Ltd lets out a property to S2 again a subsidiary of CA Ltd under operating lease
basis.
(h) 50% Property is let out on rentals and 50% is used for services relating to consultancy. Also the
property cannot be separated.
(i) CA Ltd owns a property at Sangli costing ₹ 200 lakhs and market value ₹ 500 lakhs. The same is given
on finance lease to Baman Ltd.
(j) CA Ltd held a property in Gujarat for sale. 20% discount is offered.
Required
Advise CA Ltd. and its subsidiaries as to which of the above-mentioned properties would qualify under Ind AS
40 as investment properties. If they do not qualify thus, how should they be treated under Ind AS?
Solution:
(a) Ind AS-40 ;
(b) Ind AS-40 ;
(c) Ind AS-2 inventories;
(d) Ind AS-16 ;
(e) Ind AS-40. The hotel servies are not provided by CA Ltd. If CA Ltd was actively involved in hotel
services then it would be classified under Ind AS-16;
(f) Land, Building covered by Ind AS-40, but Furniture covered by Ind AS-16;
(g) For S1: Ind AS-40; For S2: Asset is not recorded ; For the Group CFS purpose: the property is classified
as owner occupied hence Ind AS-16 ;
(h) As significant property is used for own business it is not covered by Ind AS-40 ;
(i) Lessor cannot record the asset as per Ind As-17. CA Ltd cannot record property. Hencey no Ind AS – 40.

Recongition of Investment property


Investment property shall be recognized as an asset when and only when:
◘◘ It is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and
◘◘ The cost of the investment property can be measured reliably.
Recognition principles are similar to those contained in Ind AS - 16.

Measurement at the point of Recognition:


◘◘ An investment property shall be measured initially at cost, including transaction charges. Again, the
principles for determining cost are similar to those contained in IAS 16, in particular for replacement
and subsequent expenditure.
◘◘ However, property held under an operating lease shall be measured initially using the principles
contained in IAS 17, Leases—at the lower of the fair value and the present value of the minimum lease
81 Accounting Standards

payments. A key matter here is that the item accounted for at fair value is not the property itself but
the lease interest. This means Ind AS-17 allows the lessee to record not the asset but the lease interest
in the asset.

Measurement After Recognition (Valuation on Balance sheet date)


As per Ind AS – 40 an entity shall strictly recognize the cost model for all its investment property. Under IFRS
/ IAS cost or fair value method is adopted.

Fair Value Model and Recognition of Gains and losses. (Relevant Only For IFRS)
◘◘ If the fair model value is selected, after initial recognition, investment property shall be measured at
fair value. Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable,
willing parties in an arm’s-length transaction.
◘◘ The FV should be based on market conditions on valuation date.
◘◘ Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value shall be recognized in the income statement.
This is quite a radical divergence from previous practices.
◘◘ In addition, care needs to be taken as equipment, such as lifts, air conditioning, and the like, may be
recognized as separate assets. Valuations usually include such assets, which should not be double
counted.
◘◘ If, on acquisition, it is not possible to determine fair value reliably on a continuing basis, then the asset shall
be measured using the cost model under IAS 16 until disposal. Therefore, it is possible for an entity to hold
investment property, some of which is measured at fair value and some under the cost model.
◘◘ If an entity measures investment property at fair value, it shall continue to do so until disposal, even if
readily available market data become less frequent or less readily available.

Cost Model
An entity that selects the cost model shall measure all of its investment property in accordance with Ind AS
16’s requirements for that model except those classified as held for sale in accordance with Ind AS 105.
If the company decided to measure the investment property under the cost model it would have to account
for it under Ind AS -16 using the cost model prescribed under that standard (which requires that the asset
should be carried at its cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses).
Therefore, when investment property is measured under the cost model, the fluctuations in the fair value of
the investment property from year to year would have no effect on the profit and loss account of the entity.
Instead, the annual depreciation which is computed based on the acquisition cost of the investment property
will be the only charge to the net profit or loss for each period (unless there is impairment which will also be
a charge to the net profit or loss for the year).
REMEMBER: FAIR VALUE IS NOT PERMITTED UNDER IND AS. IN OTHER WORDS WE ONLY ADOPT COST –
DEPN APPROACH.
Transfers
Transfers to and from investment property shall be made when there is change in the use:

Transfer from Transferred to Effect


investment property Owner occupied property Deemed cost for fixed asset will be the carrying
amount of IP
investment property Inventories Deemed cost for Inventories will be the carrying
amount of IP
IND AS 40 / IFRS 40: INVESTMENTS PROPERTY 82

Transfer from Transferred to Effect


Owner occupied property investment property IP will be at carrying amount of fixed asset
Inventories investment property IP initially held as inventory hence carried at original
cost or even NRV (no depreciation). It will be
transferred at (Cost – PFD). The difference between
Cost – PFD and value of inventory will be transferred
to P/L.

IP = investment property
Problem 1 : Ghasmen Property holdings engaged in buying and selling properties on large scale. Property
X purchased on 1/4/2014 @ $ 50,000 including all other expenses. Every year the NRV of the property was
20 – 25% more than Cost. The property will be depreciated over 25 years SLM, Salue Value = 40%.
On 1/4/2017 the entity decided to reclassify the Property X as investment property to be let out on rent
basis. Comment on the reclassification.
Solution:
Property X is an inventory hence the valuation will be at Cost / NRV which ever is less. But as the NRV is
always higher than the cost (as given in the problem) the inventory will be kept at Cost.
On 1/4/2017 for asset reclassification we should bring the asset to ( Cost - PFD ). Cost – PFD = 50000 – 1200
x 3 = $ 46,400.
Entry:
P/L Dr 3600
To Property X 3600

Disposals
An investment property shall be derecognized on disposal or at the time that no benefit is expected from
future use or disposal. Any gain or loss is determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and
the carrying amount and is recognized in the income statement.

Difference between IAS – 40 and AS-13


AS-13 only provides mere definition of investment property. Ind AS - 40 deals with property investments in
detail.

Objective: Initially when there was no AS on Agriculture, entity use to recognize Agricultural assets at Cost.
Hence a need arises to set common principles for accounting in Agriculture Sector too.

Scope of the Standard:


Ind AS-41 does include accounting for
Biological Assets (BA), 2) Agricultural Produce (AP) not yet harvested, 3) Government Grants received for BA.

Ind AS-41 is not applicable to


Land used for BA, 2) Intangible Assets arising out of BA, 3) Agricultural Produce after they are harvested.
Example: Keshav Farms have cattle field worth € 7,00,000, Land owned for cattle field € 4,50,000. Land
owned for BA will be covered by Ind AS – 16 (PPE).

Some relevant Definitions


Biological Assets: It includes plants and animals living at present. Ex: 10 buffaloes kept for yielding milk.
10 buffaloes are biological assets. 200 Animals are kept in Zoo for entertainment to the public. This is not BA.
No agricultural produce can be obtained from it. BA should be held for any of the purpose mentioned below:
Producing any other BA, Producing AP, BA held for sale.
Agriculture Activity: It is the management of Biological Transformation, management of Harvest of BA,
management of Conversion into agricultural produce, management of conversion into additional Biological
assets. Milk from a goat is Agricultural produce and the procedure of yielding milk is an Agricultural Activity.
Feeding of animals is also agricultural activity.
Biological Transformation: Relates to the processes of growth (calves grow into mature cow), degeneration
(beef cattle are slaughtered), and procreation (calves are born) that causes changes of quantitative or
qualitative nature in a biological asset.
84 Accounting Standards

Agricultural produce: The harvested product of the entity’s biological assets, for example, milk and coffee
beans.
Harvest: It is the detachment of agricultural produce from a BA or cessation of life of BA.
Consumable Biological Assets: These are BA which gets destroyed / extinguished after they are harvested.
Example: Livestock for meat, Fish, crops like wheat which are known as annual crops.
Bearer Biological Assets: These are BA which stay even after the agricultural activity or they are self –
regenerating assets. Ex: Livestock for milk, Standing trees carrying fruits.
Do you know:
Till Agricultural produce is not harvested from biological asset Ind AS-41 is applicable. But once it is harvested
Ind AS-2 will be applied. The (FV – Cost) at the point of sale becomes deemed cost for Ind AS-2
Refer the table
IND AS 41 / IAS 41 : Agricultural Produce Ind AS – Agri Produce Ind AS- 2
AGRICULTURE 41 (till it is not harvested)
Sheep Wool Blanket
Trees Fruits Juice
Cotton plants Cotton Cloth
Dairy cattle Milk Curd, Cheese
Pigs Carcass Sausages
Oil palms Picked fruit Palm Oil
Beef Meat Cooked and processed meat

THINGS TO REMEMBER
Ind AS-41 is applicable to the BA and Agricultural produce till the point of harvest only. Further processing of
agricultural produce is not covered by Ind AS-41. For Ex: Mangoes are processed into pulp as such pulp is not
covered by IND AS 41. It is covered by Ind AS-2. Also the mangoes once plucked from the trees will be covered
by Ind AS-2. Interestingly they are not valued as per Ind AS-2 but valued at Fair Value under forward sale.

INTERESTING FACTS
SHEEP (BIOLOGICAL ASSET) : Ind AS-41……valued at Fair Value less estimated point of sales.
SHEEP WITH WOOL (BIOLOGICAL ASSET) : Ind AS-41……valued at Fair Value less estimated point of sales.
ONLY WOOL (AGRI PRODUCE): Ind AS – 2……….valued at NRV
BLANKET FROM WOOL (PRODUCT): Ind AS – 2………valued at Cost or NRV whichever is less.

THINGS TO REMEMBER
Agriculture is distinguished from “pure exploitation,” where resources are simply removed from the environ-
ment (e.g., by ocean fishing or deforestation) without management initiatives such as operation of hatcheries,
reforestation, or other attempts to manage their regeneration.
IAS 41 sets forth a three-part test or set of criteria for agricultural activities. First, the plants or animals which
are the object of the activities must be alive and capable of transformation.
Second, the change must be managed, which implies a range of activities (e.g., fertilizing the soil and weed-
ing in the case of crop growing; feeding and providing health care in the instance of animal husbandry; etc.).
Third, there must be a basis for the measurement of change, such as the ripeness of vegetables, the weight of
animals, circumference of trees, and so forth. If these three criteria are all satisfied, the activity will be impacted
by the financial reporting requirements imposed by IAS 41.
IND AS 41 / IAS 41: AGRICULTURE 85

Special discussion on Bearer Plant


What are Bearer Plants: (a) they produce Agriculture produce, (b) they are Biological Asset, ( c ) they
themselves cannot be Agriculture produce (i.e. they become Agriculture produce in a very rare case), (d)
they are known as Bearer Plants because they bear fruits. After harvesting process the tree stay in its same
position.

Example: Palm trees, but sugarcane is not bearer plant as they are consumable assets, even lumbering
trees are not bearer plants. After the bearer plant is no more in use it may be cut down to be sold as scrap
for fire wood. Such incidental scrap sales would not prevent the plant from satisfying the definition of
a bearer plant. Old IAS does not provide for Bearer Plant, but the Revised IAS-41 provides for separate
accounting for Bearer Plant. Even Ind AS-41 is based on the latest version of IAS-41 (Rev).

Recognition and measurement for Bearer Plant


(1) Unlike other Biological Asset or Agriculture produce the Bearer Plants are not recorded at FV. All
bearer plants are recorded at COST (Similar to IND AS – 16 PPE). It’s not wrong to say that Bearer
Plants are Fixed assets as per Ind AS16.
(2) Before maturity Bearer Plants are accounted like a self - constructed asset i.e. accumulate
cost……………………….same as Ind AS - 16
(3) After the maturity is attained Bearer Plants are accounted @cost or revaluation model ……………….
same as Ind AS - 16
(4) Depreciation will be based on remaining useful life ….…………….same as Ind AS - 16 or Schedule II
(5) Impairment of Bearer Plants will be governed by Ind AS-36 and not Ind AS-41.
(6) Government grants as per Ind AS-20 and not as per Ind AS-41.
Do you know à Bearer plants are biological assets but not covered by Ind – AS-41 for recognition,
valuation etc.
Initial Recognition of Biological Asset and Agriculture produce (except Bearer Plant): An asset can be
recognized as a Biological Asset or Agriculture produce when all the conditions are satisfied:
◘◘ Asset should arise out of past event, benefits should be controlled by the entity (legal ownership / by
purchasing from the market / embossing birth marks);
◘◘ Economic benefits should flow to the entity
◘◘ Fair Value or Cost (if FV not possible) should be reliably measured.

Measurement initially and even subsequent recognition of Biological Asset and


Agriculture produce
ASSUMING FAIR VALUE IS DETERMINABLE:
Biological Asset should be measured at Fair value less estimated point of sale costs.
Agriculture produce harvested from an entity’s biological assets shall be measured at Fair value less estimated
point of sale costs.
Point of sale costs: Includes commissions to brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies / commodity
exchanges, all duties and duties. It does not include transport costs.
Example: 5 goats are purchased at ₹ 27000. Transport charges ₹ 500. Auctioneers fees 1% of sales value.
Cost of goats = ₹27000. FV – estimated point of sale costs = 27000 – 270 = ₹26730. 5 goats will be recorded
at ₹26730.
86 Accounting Standards

Recognition of gains / loss: Initial as well as year ending difference will be transferred to P/L account. Ex:
5 goats are purchased at ₹ 27000 on 1/1/2016. Transport charges ₹ 500. Auctioneers fees 1% of sales value.
Cost of goats = ₹27000. FV – estimated point of sale costs = 27000 – 270 = ₹26730. 5 goats will be recorded
at ₹26730.
1/1/2016 Livestock Dr 27500
To Cash 27500
P/L Dr 730

Suppose on 31/3/2016 Value of each goat is ₹6300. Transport charges to sell ₹ 700. Auctioneers fees
1.1% of sales value.
31/3/2016 Livestock Dr 4423 (6300*5 – 347) - 26730
To P / L Dr 4423
*Transport charges on sale is ignored as no actual sale took place. Also Ind AS-41 excludes transport costs as
a deduction from FV.
Suppose on 31/3/2017 Value of each goat is ₹7200. Transport charges to sell ₹ 800. Auctioneers fees 1.2%
of sales value. 1 goat dead by giving birth to 2 goats. Value of small goats on 31/3/2017 is 25% of the value
of matured goats.

Problem 1: Managing activities for keeping animals in Zoo ; 2) Animals in Game park ; 3) Animals in Circus
; 4) Natural Breeding of animals in Zoo ; 5) Managed breeding for programme to sell animals ; 6) Ocean

10) growing plants to produce another plants ; 11) Fish processing and packing; 12) Annual crops wheat ;
13) Milk ; 14) Hens in poultry farm ; 15) Eggs laid down by Hens, 16) Chickens; 17) managing fish activity
to slaughter further; 18) plucked flowers, 19) unplucked flowers
Solution: No ; as it is neither for sale nor for producing agriculture produce nor for producing another
biological asset. 2) same as 1, 3) same as 1, 4) No Its unmanaged breeding hence not covered by Ind AS-41,
5) Yes biological asset for sale, 6) Harvesting biological assets from unmanaged activity is not an agricultural
activity, 7) No same as 1, 8) Yes, even plants are biological asset (living things), 9) Land is scoped out of Ind
AS-41, 10) Yes biological asset used to generate another biological asset, 11) Not an agricultural activity. Fish
processed products covered by Ind AS-2 as inventory as they are the produce and not agriculture produce.
But only Fish is a biological asset, 12) Yes; They are biological assets; 13) Milk we yield from biological asset
hence it is an agriculture produce at the point of harvest; Beyond point of harvest it is inventory; 14) Yes it
is a biological asset; 15) No; after eggs are laid it is inventory. It is agricultural produce only at the point of
harvest ; 16) Yes; biological asset ; 17) Yes ; 18) No; agriculture produce only at the point of harvest; 19) Yes;
unplucked flowers are not yet harvested and hence agriculture produce.
Problem 2: Is a pregnant ewe (female sheep) a biological asset. What about the offspring (lamb)? When it
will be recognized?
Solution: Yes a pregnant sheep is a biological asset (living animal). Baby lamb is also a biological asset
(living animal). It is not an agriculture produce but another biological asset. Baby lamb will be recorded once
it is born.
IND AS 41 / IAS 41: AGRICULTURE 87

ASSUMING FAIR VALUE IS NOT DETERMINABLE:


It is always presumed that the fair value is always reliably measured. But if FV is not reliably measured then
the biological asset and agriculture produce should be measured at COST – PFD – Impairment losses.

Government Grants:
◘◘ A government grant that is related to a biological asset measured at fair value less estimated point-of-
sale costs should be recognized as income when the government grant becomes receivable.
◘◘ For unconditional grants immediate recognition is allowed. If there are conditions attached to the
government grant, then the government grant shall be recognized only when those conditions are
met.
◘◘ Ind AS 20 is to bearer plant.
◘◘ Ind AS 41 does not deal with government grants that relate to agricultural produce. These grants may
include subsidies. Subsidies are normally payable when the produce is sold and would therefore be
recognized as income on the sale.
◘◘ Ind AS-41 does not deal with Capital or Deferred Approach unlike Ind AS-20.

Unconditional grant
Ex: Value Ltd is engaged in organic farming. It receives ₹3,00,000 grant every year. This grant will be
immediately recorded as no condition is attached towards the grant.
Conditional grant:
Ex: Value Ltd is engaged in farming of bajra of special kind. It receives ₹40,00,000 grant initially on a condition
that a certain quantity of bajra has to be produced in aggregate period of 3 years. This grant will be recorded
only after 3 years. If a certain quantity is not achieved then the grant has to be refunded. The entity has to
disclose a contingency on grant about the return of grant.

Presentation:
Current and Non – Current classification is possible even in Ind AS-41.

definition of DO.

Detail discussion on Ind AS-105


Scope
The purpose of Ind AS – 105 is to specify the accounting for assets held for sale and the presentation and
disclosure of discontinued operations.
89 Accounting Standards

Some Definition
Assets held for sale: Assets held for sale is a noncurrent asset whose carrying amount will be recovered
mainly through selling the asset rather than through usage.
Disposal group: A group of assets and possibly some liabilities that an entity intends to dispose of in a single
transaction. It may be even a CGU (as defined in Ind AS-36) as well as Goodwill allocable to such CGU.
For classifying a noncurrent asset or disposal group as held for sale, following conditions are necessary:
(1) the asset must be available for immediate sale in its present condition and its sale must be highly
probable.
(2) the asset must be currently being marketed actively at its current fair value.
(3) the sale should be completed, or expected to be so, within a year from the date of the classification.

Classify the following into HFS: Ind AS – 105


(1) A property given on rental ;
(2) A vehicle not in use for which potential buyer is being looked for ;
(3) One of activity carries 3 assets and 1 liability is being advertised for sale (liability has to be taken
along with the asset). Sale is at 40% discount ;
(4) Property held for sale and a binding agreement is entered to sell the asset after 3 years ;
(5) 50% of investment property is held for sale ;
(6) Entire investments in JV is held for sale ;
(7) An entity is committed to a plan to sell a building and has started looking for a buyer for that building.
The entity will continue to use the building until another building is completed to house the office
staff located in the building. There is no intention to relocate the office staff until the new building is
completed.
(8) XYZ has purchased a property and decided to renovate it an even install the lift inside the building.
Once the building is ready it will be sold.
Solution 1:
(1) Not HFS,
(2) Yes HFS
( 3) Yes it is a disposal group we further assume that the group must be available for immediate sale in
its present condition and its sale must be highly probable.
(4) No because the non – current asset will be sold within 1 year. It has to be sold with 1 year.
(5) Yes it is a non - current asset HFS, further assume that the asset must be available for immediate sale
in its present condition and its sale must be highly probable.
( 6) Same as 5
(7) The building will not be classified as held for sale as it is not available for immediate sale. 8) Not
covered by Ind AS – 105: The asset must be available for immediate sale in its present condition.

Evidences to prove that the management is committed to sell the asset


◘◘ The actions required to complete the planned sale will have been made, and it is unlikely that the plan
will be significantly changed or withdrawn.
◘◘ For the sale to be highly probable, management must be committed to sell the asset and must be
actively looking for a buyer.
◘◘ It is possible that the sale may not be completed within one year. In this case, the asset could still be
classified as held for sale if the delay is caused by events beyond the entity’s control and the entity is
still committed to selling the asset.
Ind AS- 105 NONCURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS 90

Situations where an extension of the period required completing the sale are
allowable
Even if the NCA HFS extend beyond one year it is still considered under Ind AS-106:
(a) The entity has committed itself to sell a noncurrent asset, and it expects that others may impose
conditions on the transfer of the asset and where the conditions could not be completed until after
a firm purchase commitment has been made and a firm purchase commitment is highly probable
within a year.
(b) A firm purchase commitment is made but a buyer unexpectedly imposes conditions on the transfer
of the noncurrent asset held for sale. Timely actions should be taken to respond to the conditions,
and a favorable resolution is anticipated.
(c) During the one-year period, unforeseen circumstances arise that were considered unlikely, and the
noncurrent asset is not sold. Necessary action to respond to the change in circumstances should be
taken.

Case Study
1. Facts
An entity is planning to sell part of its business that is deemed to be a disposal group. The entity is in a
business environment that is heavily regulated, and any sale requires government approval. This means that
the sale time is difficult to determine. Government approval cannot be obtained until a buyer is found and
known for the disposal group and a firm purchase contract has been signed. However, it is likely that the
entity will be able to sell the disposal group within one year.
Required: Would the disposal group be classified as held for sale?
Solution: The disposal group would be classified as held for sale because the delay is caused by events or
circumstances beyond the entity’s control and there is evidence that the entity is committed to selling the
disposal group.
2) Facts
An entity has an asset that has been designated as held for sale in the financial year to 31/12/2015. During
the financial year to 31/12/2016, the asset still remains unsold, but the market conditions for the asset have
deteriorated significantly. The entity believes that market conditions will improve and has not reduced the
price of the asset, which continues to be classified as held for sale. The fair value of the asset is ₹50,00,000,
and the asset is being marketed at ₹75,00,000.
Required
Should the asset be classified as held for sale in the financial statements for the year ending 31/12/2016?
Solution
Because the selling price is in excess of the current fair value, the asset is not available for immediate sale and
should not be classified as held for sale.
Other important points
◘◘ Exchanges of noncurrent assets between companies can be treated as held for sale when such an
exchange has a commercial substance in accordance with Ind AS 16.
◘◘ Occasionally companies acquire noncurrent assets exclusively with a view to disposal. In these cases,
the noncurrent asset will be classified as held for sale at the date of the acquisition only if it is antici-
pated that it will be sold within the one-year period and it is highly probable that the held-for-sale
criteria will be met within a short period of the acquisition date. This period normally will be no more
than three months.
91 Accounting Standards

◘◘ If the criteria for classifying a noncurrent asset as held for sale occur after the balance sheet date,
the noncurrent asset should not be shown as held for sale. However, certain information should be
disclosed about the noncurrent assets.
◘◘ Non - Current assets or disposal groups that are to be abandoned do not meet the definition of held
for sale. “Abandonment” means that the noncurrent asset (disposal group) will be used to the end
of its economic life, or the noncurrent asset (disposal group) will be closed rather than sold. The
reasoning behind this is because the carrying amount of the noncurrent asset will be recovered prin-
cipally through continued usage. However, a disposal group that is to be abandoned may meet the
definition of a discontinued activity.

Measurement of Non – Current Asset or disposal group held for sale


RULES FOR MEASUREMENT
Before classifying into HFS:
Just before an asset is initially classified as held for sale, it should be measured in accordance with the
applicable Ind AS. For ex: Investment property should be valued at cost less depreciation as per Ind AS-40.
From the date they classified into HFS: When noncurrent assets or disposal groups are classified as held for
sale, they are measured at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
The measurement provisions of this Ind AS do not apply to deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee
benefits, financial assets within the scope of Ind AS 39, noncurrent assets accounted for in accordance with
the fair value model in Ind AS 40, noncurrent assets that are measured at fair value less estimated point-of-
sale costs under Ind AS 41, and contractual rights under insurance contracts as defined in Ind AS - 104.
When the sale is expected to occur in over a year’s time, the entity should measure the cost to sell at its
present value. Any increase in the present value of the cost to sell that arises should be shown in profit and
loss as a finance cost.

Example: A plant’s FV is ₹ 4,00,000 and costs to sell is ₹ 20,000. The IRR is taken as 10%. The plant
would be expected to be sold after at the end of 1 year may be beyond that. The FV – costs = 4,00,000 – PV
of 20,000 = ₹ 4,00,000 – 18,182 = ₹ 3,81,818.
The difference between the carrying value and the fair value less costs will be treated as impairment loss is
recognized in profit or loss on any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset or disposal group to fair
value less cost to sell. Any impairment loss recognized for a disposal group should be applied in the order set
out in

Ind AS - 36
Any subsequent increases in fair value less cost to sell of an asset can be recognized in profit or loss to the
extent that it is not in excess of the cumulative impairment loss that has been recognized in accordance with
Ind AS- 105 or previously in accordance with Ind AS 36.
Noncurrent assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale should not be depreciated.
Change of plan: (These provisions are similar to Ind AS-36)
◘◘ If criteria for an asset to be classified as held for sale are no longer met, then the asset or disposal
group ceases to be held for sale.
◘◘ In this case, the asset or disposal group should be valued at the lower of the carrying amount before
the asset or disposal group was classified as held for sale (as adjusted for any subsequent deprecia-
tion, amortization, or revaluation) and its recoverable amount at the date of the decision not to sell.
Ind AS- 105 NONCURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS 92

◘◘ Any adjustment to the value should be shown in income from continuing operations for the period.
◘◘ If an asset is removed from a disposal group, the disposal group will continue to be classified as such
only if it still meets the criteria set out in the Standard.

Disclosure of Non – Current Assets:


Noncurrent assets held for sale and assets of disposal groups must be disclosed separately from other assets
in the balance sheet. The liabilities must also be disclosed separately in the balance sheet. Assets and liabilities
cannot be offset and shown as a single amount.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: PRESENTATION AND DISCLOSURE


A discontinued operation is a part of an entity that has either been disposed of or is classified as held for sale
and:
(a) Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations;
(b) Is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of separate major line of business or geographical area
of operations; or
(c) Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Schedule III of the Companies Act 2013 provides for a single line disclosure of profit / loss after tax from
discontinued operations.
Also the after-tax gain or loss recognized on the measurement to fair value less cost to sell (or on the disposal)
should be presented as a single figure (impairment).
Ind AS - 105 requires detailed disclosure of revenue, expenses, pretax profit or loss, and the related income
tax expense, either in the notes or on the face of the income statement. If this information is presented on
the face of the income statement, the information should be separately disclosed from information relating
to continuing operations.
Cash flows: Regarding the presentation in the cash flow statement, the net cash flows attributable to the
operating, investing, and financing activities of the discontinued operation should be shown separately on
the face of the statement or disclosed in the notes. Any disclosures should cover both the current and all
prior periods that have been shown in the financial statements. Retrospective classification as a discontinued
operation where the criteria are met after the balance sheet date is prohibited.
If the entity ceases to classify a component as held for sale, the results of that element must be reclassified
and included in income from continuing operations.]

DO YOU KNOW
An abandoned disposal group cannot be non – current asset held for sale because its carrying amount will be
recovered through continuing use. It may be classified as a discontinuing operation.

PROBLEM & SOLUTION

Problem 1: On February 2016 the directors decided to close down a business segment. The decision
was taken out of the desire to refocus on the strategic direction of the group. On 14/3/2016 the same was
communicated to the relevant parties with a view to terminate existing contracts and arrange for the sale of
assets. Latest estimates of the financial implications of the closure are as follows:
Plant having a net book value of ₹ 12,00,000 on 31/3/2016 will be sold for ₹ 1,00,000.
A freehold property having a net book value of ₹ 10,00,000 on 31/3/2016 will be sold for ₹ 15,00,000.
Inventory valued at ₹ 3,00,000 (Cost ₹ 3,20,000).
Solution:
As far as the non-current assets of the segment are concerned they satisfy the Ind AS 105 criteria for assets
held for sale. An asset is classified as held for sale if its value will be recovered principally through sale
as opposed to continuing use. The implications of this classification is that the plant and property will be
classified as held for sale on the balance sheet and measured at the lower of existing carrying value and fair
value less costs to sell. This means that the plant and equipment will be written down by ₹11,00,000 but
that the property will continue to be carried at ₹10,00,000 (remember whichever is less) even if you revalue
otherwise at fair value.. Under the principles of IFRS 5 it would be correct to show the results separately if
the segment can be regarded as a discontinued operation. In order for this to be the case the segment would
have to be:
A component of the entity (where operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished, operationally and
for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity) that either has been disposed of or is classified
as held for sale and:
◘◘ Represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or
◘◘ Is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical
area of operations; or
◘◘ Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
In this case it appears that the segment would be regarded as a discontinued operation. This means that the
company needs to disclose a single amount on the face of the income statement comprising the total of:
◘◘ The post-tax profit or loss of the discontinued operation and
◘◘ The post-tax gain or loss recognized on the measurement to fair value less costs to sell of the assets of
the discontinued operation.
Problem 2: Lucky Utility has four outlets: Lucky View, Lucky Osho, Lucky Blue, Lucky Plus. A business
restructuring was carried out for the year 31/3/2016:
Lucky Plus is to be discontinued. The assets and liabilities are not disposed off separately. It will be sold
in a single transaction. The profit after tax shows a figure of ₹ 5,00,000, Sum of the assets: `14,00,000 and
liabilities ₹ 3,00,000. Recoverable value ₹ 20,00,000.
Part of Lucky Osho i.e. a building along with its furniture will be sold. The loan liability will also be passed in
the same transaction. The division will be continued. Assets impaired at ₹ 25,000.
Show the above reconstruction plan.
Solution:
Lucky Plus satisfies a DO. This means that the company needs to disclose a single amount on the face of the
income statement comprising the total of:
Ind AS- 105 NONCURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS 94

◘◘ The post-tax profit or loss of the discontinued operation ₹ 5,00,000 and


The assets and liabilities of the DO satisfies also the definition of disposal group held for sale. – The post-tax
gain or loss recognized on the measurement to fair value less costs to sell of the assets of the discontinued
operation → Nil…….no impairment.
Balance Sheet: (assets and liabilities to be separately disclosed)
Current Asset:
NCA – HFS: Sundry Assets = ₹ 1400000
Current liabilities:
NCL – HFS: Sundry liabilities = ₹ 300000
Lucky Osho satisfies the definition of disposal group held for sale. Assets and liabilities are to be separately
disclosed as above in case of DO.
However impairment loss is to be disclosed separately under the head continuing operations.
Problem 3: Omega follows the cost model when measuring its property, plant and equipment. One of its
properties was carried in the statement of financial position at 31 March 2017 at $6 million. The depreciable
amount of this property was estimated at $3.6 million at 31 March 2017 and the estimated future economic
life of the property at 31 March 2017 was 18 years. Omega depreciates its properties on a monthly basis.
On 1 January 2018 Omega decided to dispose of the property as it was surplus to requirements and began
to actively seek a buyer. On 1 January 2018 Omega estimated that the market value of the property was $ 7.1
million and that the costs of selling the property would be $80,000. These estimates remained appropriate
at 31 March 2018.
The property was sold on 1 June 2018 for net proceeds of $7million.
Required:
Explain, with relevant calculations, how the property would be treated in the financial statements of Omega
for the year ended 31 March 2018 and the year ending 31 March 2019.
Solution: Year ended 31March 2018
On 1 January 2018 the property would be designated as ‘held for sale’. The implications of this treatment are
that the property would cease to be depreciated and be classified in a separate section of the statement of
financial position-non-current assets held for sale.
The depreciation on the property to the date of classification as held for sale would be 150 (3,600 x 1/18x9/12)
and this would be charged as an operating expense in the statement of comprehensive income.
The carrying value of the properly immediately before reclassification of 5,850(6,000-150) would be
compared with its ‘fair value less costs to sell’ of 7,020(7,100-80). The new carrying value of the property is
the lower of these two amounts- in this case 5,850.
Year ended 31 March 2019
No depreciation will be charged on the property.
At the date of sale, profit on sale of 1,150 (7,000-5,850) will be reported in the statement of comprehensive
income.

Some important points on Ind AS-108


Definition of Operating Segment:
According to Ind AS-108 an “operating segment” is a component of an entity :
◘◘ That engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including
revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity)
◘◘ Whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity’s Chief Operating Decision
Maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its perfor-
mance; and
◘◘ For which discrete financial information is available.
Following important points emerges from the above definition:
No concept of BS / GS. No concept of primary and secondary segment. It is the CODM who will decide the
Segments. From the first part of the definition it is even clear that even a transferor segment is a Segment. It is
IND AS 108: OPERATING SEGMENTS 97

a Manager dominated classification rather than based on risk and return analysis. YA its correct Management
knows how to allot resurces and how that segments are performing.

Aggregation criteria
According to Ind AS-108 an “operating segment” is a component of an entity:
Two or more operating segments may be aggregated if these operating segments have same economic
characteristics; and they are similar in majority the following aspects:-
(a) nature of products and services; ex: chairs, tables are similar product can be merged ;
(b) nature of production process; ex: chairs, tables can be merged ;
(c) type or class of customers;
(d) methods used for distribution of products or providing services; ex: Reader Publications sells books
for academic and professional through retail outlet only.
(e) Nature of regulatory environment: ex: Life insurance and property can be merged.

PROBLEM & SOLUTION

Problem 1: Rekfor Fontry Ltd has 2 products making servers and making other software. Most of the risk
and reward factors are common. But the CODM wants to classify them as segment. Comment as per AS-17
and Ind AS-108.
Solution: AS-17: Business or Geographical Segments are decided by risk and reward profile / features.
Accordingly servers and other software are Segments.
Ind AS-108: Ind AS-108 requires identification of “operating segments” based on internal management
reports that are regularly reviewed by the entity’s “chief operating decision maker” for the purposes of
allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. If as per the CODM the 2 products
are 2 segments then yes the entity should follow Segment reporting. Also one should check the 10% criteria.

of FA: Question / Answer

Financial Instrument is a contract that gives rise to a FA to one entity, and a FL or equity instrument to
another entity. Financial instrument includes primary financial instrument like receivables, payables, loans
and debentures. It also includes derivative instruments like futures, options, FRA, swaps. A derivative with a
positive value is FA and negative value is FL. Even a contract to buy or sell a non – financial item may in certain
cases give rise to a FA or a FL.
Abbreviations: FL (Financial liabilities), FA (Financial Assets), FI (Financial Instruments)
1. Objective of the Standard:
The standard gives the principle of measurement and recording of financial assets and financial
liabilities. It also provides presentation and disclosure principles.
2. Financial instruments: (Ind AS-109)
ww It is a legal document entered between two parties.
ww It is a legal enforcement to receive financial assets and repay financial liabilities (It is always
under a contract).
ww One party has the right to receive payment of money / liquid asset and another party has the
right to pay the money / liquid asset. For one party financial instrument is financial asset and for
other it is financial liability or equity.
Primary FI: receivables, payables, loans and advances, derivative instruments like options, futures,
swap etc.
3. Contract to buy / sell non – financial instruments:
Contract to buy / sell non - financial items are not FI. Ex: Contact to buy fixed asset, goods.
But if goods are sold and money is payable then the liability to pay becomes financial instrument.
99 Accounting Standards

Examples of FA / FL
Financial assets within the scope of Ind AS 109 includes:
◘◘ Cash
◘◘ Deposits in other entities
◘◘ Receivables (e.g., trade receivables)
◘◘ Loans to other entities
◘◘ Investments in bonds and other debt instruments issued by other entities
◘◘ Investments in shares and other equity instruments issued by other entities
Financial liabilities within the scope of Ind AS 109 include
◘◘ Deposit liabilities

cash / FA for a fixed number of entity’s own equity instruments.
Analysis of the definition financial assets:
1. Cash: It is the medium of exchange. It is a specific mention in AS-30 as a FA.
2. A contractual right: To receive cash / financial assets. Example: Trade receivables, Loans given,
investments in bonds / debn.
OR
To exchange financial assets / financial liabilities with another entity for terms which are
potentially favourable.

Example: Berlin Crafts entered into a 5 February Futures contract to buy 125MT (lot size 25) of steel
parts at an agreed price of ` 6500 per MT. Also there is practice of settling transactions on net basis for
commodity futures. This is now 31st March where Berlin Crafts finalizes accounts. As on that date actual
price for steel is `6555 as per MT. The Futures traded at ` 6,600 for the remaining maturity.

Solution: On 31st March Berlin Crafts will show the future contract (derivative) as:
Financial asset Dr 12,500 (6,600 – 6,500) x 125…..potentially favorite.
To Profit / Loss A/C 12,500

Contracts which will be settled in entities own equity instruments


Non – derivative instruments where the entity is obliged to receive variable number of the entity’s own equity
instruments.

Example: Mistry Ltd entered into a contract to issue 10% Debentures Rs 6,00,000 to Jamshed Ltd.
against receipt of entities own equity shares at the price prevailing after 3 months. Suppose the price
of the share after 3 months is ` 1200. Then Mistry Ltd. has to receive 500 own equity shares. The shares
received are variable and not fixed. Also it is not a derivative contract.
OR
a derivative instrument that will be settled other than by exchange of a fixed amount of cash / FA against fixed
number of entity’s own equity instrument.

Example: R. Com Ltd. entered into a contract to receive 5,000 (fixed) number of own equity instruments
for an amount of cash computed (variable) equivalent to 10 litres of oil. As the number of shares will
depend upon value of oil at the Commodity Exchange. Instead of cash the contract will be settled by
entity’s own shares.

Important Note:
If a company entered into a contract to receive 5,000 (fixed) number of own equity shares for fixed cash say
` 2,00,000 then it is an equity instrument (also known as fixed for fixed contracts).

DO YOU KNOW
Equity is a head and not an a/c. It means if we say equity instrument it should go to the head EQUITY and if it
is FL then it should go to Non – Current / Current liability.

6. Financial liability: (Ind AS-109)


Any liability that is:
ww A contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; (already
covered in FA).
ww or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that
are potentially unfavourable to the entity; (already covered in FA)
ww or A contract that will or may be settled (delivery to be made) in the entity’s own equity instru-
ments and is a non derivative instrument. Also the entity is oblige to issue variable number of
equity instruments of the entity. (already covered in FA)
ww or a derivative instrument that will be settled other than by exchange of a fixed amount of cash /
FA against fixed number of entity’s own equity instrument (already covered in FA).
Examples of liabilities that meet the definition of financial liabilities are

ww Payables (e.g., trade payables), Loans from other entities, Issued bonds and other debt instru-
ments issued by the entity, Derivative financial liabilities, Obligations to deliver own shares

7. (A) Equity:
Equity is a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting the liabilities. Ind AS 32 is based
on the presentation principle of financial instruments between liability and equity.
Financial instruments Ind As – 109 / IFRS– 9: recognition Ind As – 107 / RRS – 7: Presentation Ind As – 32 / IAS– 32: Disclosures 102

Equity instruments
Following is the list of some of the equity instruments: Such instruments are presented under the head Equity:
(1) Non – Puttable Shares.
(2) Any instrument whereby the entity does not have any liability to deliver cash, any FA or entities own
variable number of equity shares. Entity has an unconditional right to reject the payment. There
is no such obligation to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under
conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the entity.
(3) Any instrument whereby the entity is obliged to deliver its own fixed equity shares at a fixed exercise
price.
(4) Instruments imposing obligation to deliver pro – rata share in Net Assets only on liquidation.
(5) Preference Shares (when the distribution is at the discretion of the issuer).
(6) The instrument should be subordinate to all other classes of instrument.
(7) The total cash flows payable to the instrument is based on profit/loss or change in the recognized net
assets of the entity.

To understand the above points lets analyze in detail each instrument:


Non – Puttable Shares: Lets understand puttable shares first. Puttable instruments are those instruments
which can be put back (sell back) to the writer by the holder. Hence puttable is FL and non - puttable Equity.
Instrument does not carry a liability: Recall we have defined FL as an instrument which is settled in cash
/ FA / variable equity shares. Equity instrument does not carry any liability.
Settlement of instrument in enity’s fixed shares for a fixed price.
Example: Share Warrants, Written Call options on own shares, ESOP O/S.
Do you know: All the above instruments can either lapse or exercised at a fix exercise price.
Illustration: Why written call option on equity shares is an equity instrument?

Cash a/c Dr (50,000 x 200)1,00,00,000
Equity a/c 12,50,000…option premium already recd becomes consideration
103 Accounting Standards

To Equity Share Capital a/c (50,000 x 10) 5,00,000


To Securities Premium a/c 1,07,50,000
If the Market price on settlement would have been Rs. 197 then it was a case of out of the money to the holder
and such option would lapse. Hence the premium in that case should be transferred to General Reserve.
Instruments imposing obligation to pay on pro – rata basis:
A Minority Interest (NCI) forces the entity to pay on liquidation his share in net assets.
Preference Shares: Most of the PS have repayment clause hence they are FL. But if the redemption is purely
at the discretion of the entity then it is equity (plz refer comprehensive problems on classification of PS
between equity and FL).
Subordinate instrument: Such instrument does not carry priority for payment. This means they will be
paid either dividend or net assets after all holders are paid hence subordinate.
Cash flows paid to such instrument is based on P/L or recorded net assets:
Consider interest on debenture even if there is no profit during the year you have to pay interest. But equity
shares are paid only when the entity earns profits.

The financial / transaction costs relating to the issue of financial instruments like printing expenses, regulatory
fees, stamp duties, registration fees etc are to be properly accounted.
Expenses related to equity are to be deducted from equity.
Expenses which could have been abandoned or avoided are to be expensed.
8. Derivatives: (Ind AS-109)……….(CA Final Nov 2014)
For an instrument to be eligible for derivative all the conditions should be satisfied:
ww Value of contract is based on current value of underlying asset. Ex: Interest rate in case of IRS,
forward contract may be based upon the forex rate etc.
ww It requires low or no initial investments. In case of Swaps / forward Zero investments are required,
in case of options premium is required. The initial investments are smaller as compared to other
contract to have similar response to change in market factor.
ww Settlement takes place at a future date.
Example:
Derivative financial instruments within the scope of Ind AS-109 include:
◘◘ A purchased call option to purchase an asset at a fixed price on a future date.
◘◘ A forward contract for the purchase (or sale) of an asset at a future date whereby the price is fixed today.

DO YOU KNOW
Margins are not initial investments; they are collateral security for provision of losses. They are to be accounted
separately as Current Assets.

Illustrations 1: 6 months future contract of gold entered at ` 12000, it is currently trading at ` 10000 by
paying 20% margin.
Analysis:
Value of contract is based on current value of underlying asset = The future contract price 12000 is based on
current price 10000.
low initial investments = 20% of spot position
Future settlement. = after 6 months (net settlement)
Illustrations 2: Bull Limited has following options for acquiring 1000 shares of Bear Limited:
Current market price ` 20, ii) forward contract at a price of ` 25 delivery to be made after
3 months. 80% of the forward price is to be paid up front.
Analysis:
No it is not derivative contract. The underlying variable = market price of the share The initial investments is
not smaller as compared to other contract to have similar response to change in market factor. Investments is
80% of ` 25 i.e. ` 20 whereas Bull can purchase share from the market at `20 (cash price).

Underlying variable of derivatives contract:

DO YOU KNOW
Derivative contracts end up in three ways: (i) Net settlement in cash, (ii) Net settlement in shares / goods, (iii)
Actual Delivery based.

Are all Derivatives Financial Instruments


If Derivatives contract are net settled then it is FI. Remember net settlement can be in cash / any FA / or
entity’s own variable number of shares.
If Derivatives are settled by physical delivery of commodities: No it is not FI. But if the physical goods received
by the recipient is further sold in a ready forward market then it is FI for the recipient. In substance the
recipient is making net profit out of the transactions.
9. Financial Guarantee:
A Financial guarantee is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the
holder for the loss arising out of the default made by the debtor relating to a debt instrument.
105 Accounting Standards

10. Loan commitment:


Loan commitment is actually a Contingent liability as per Ind AS-37.
But Loan commitment can be covered under Ind AS-109 in any of the conditions mentioned below:
(i) If Loan commitment is held for trading (earning short term profit).
(ii) Loan commitment in the nature of derivatives.
11. CLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS:
Under Ind AS – 109, all financial assets are classified into the following 3 categories:
( a ) Amortised Cost
( b ) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
( c ) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
The classification itself depends on the following 2 criteria:
(a) The entity’s business model for managing the financial assets, and
(b) The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
11 (a) Business models:
Business models refer to how an entity manages its financial assets so as to generate / realize cash
flows. Business Models (BM) is determined on the basis of scenarios which are reasonably expected
to be achieved. Following are the BM’s:
(i) Hold to collect contractual cash flows: Here the entity manages the portfolio to collect cash flows
on the maturity consisting of interest and principal. Example: Collection of final face value
(maturity proceeds) of a ZCB on its maturity.
(ii) Hold to sell the asset: Here the entity is actively engaged in buying and selling of the instrument.
The entity makes decisions to collect the fair value of the FA. For ex: X Ltd is engaged in the
trading of financial stocks by buying at a lower price and selling at higher rate. Interest and
dividend collection is just incidental. Here the BM is to collect cash flows by fair value gains.
(iii) Hold to collect contractual cash flows and even selling FA: In this type of BM, the entity’s key
management personnel have made a decision that both collecting contractual cash flows as well
selling financial assets are integral to achieve the objective of the BM.
Example: An entity anticipates capital expenditure within few years. The entity invests surplus cash in short
and long term FA for funding capex. The entity will hold the FA to collect contractual cash flows as well as by
selling the investments.
11 (b) Contractual Cash Flows Characteristics (CCFC) or SPPI test:
After assessing the Business Model, the entity should assess whether the asset’s contractual cash flows
represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount o/s. CCFC is within the BM test.
Ind AS 109 requires an entity to classify a FA on the basis of its contractual cash flow characteristics also.
Contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principle and interest on the principal amount o/s are
consistent with a ‘basic lending arrangement’. In a basic lending arrangement consideration for the time
value of money and credit risk are typically the most significant elements of interest.
An entity shall assess whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the
principal amount outstanding. This is also known as SPPI test.
What is Principal and interest solely on o/s principal?
◘◘ Principal is the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition (however that principal amount
may change over the life of the financial asset, if there are repayment of principal.
◘◘ Interest consists of consideration for: time value, credit risk, profit margin, other lending risks.
SPPI test give the holder a return which is in line with a ‘basic lending arrangement’. SPPI test is required to
decide whether an instrument structured as ‘debt instrument’ actually has the ‘basic loan features’.
Financial instruments Ind As – 109 / IFRS– 9: recognition Ind As – 107 / RRS – 7: Presentation Ind As – 32 / IAS– 32: Disclosures 106

Illustration:
Magnetam Ltd has issued bond with a stated maturity date. Payments of principal and interest are related to
inflation index.
Analysis: Payments of principal and interest are related to inflation index. This means it compensates for the
time value. Yes in the above case the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on
the principal amount outstanding.
If the interest is based on the principal which is linked to any commodity price then contractual cash flows
are not solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Following are some ex whereby the instruments are not leveraged financial asset hence SPPI test is positive:
Inflation index bond
Floating rate bond
Caps and Collars
Following are some ex whereby the instruments are leveraged financial asset:
Convertible bond
Principal is based on equity index
Loan will be repaid based on the realisable value of equity shares.

Practical issues in Classification of FA: Question / Answer


Question 1: When debt instrument can be classified under amortized cost?
Answer: Both the conditions should be satisfied: a) The entity manages the portfolio to collect cash flows
on the maturity of interest and principal (BM test). b) Cash flows should be based on principal amount o/s
(SPPI test).
Question 2: When debt instrument can be classified under FVTOCI?
Answer: Both the conditions should be satisfied: a) The entity manages the portfolio to collect cash flows on
the maturity as well as the portfolio can be sold for fair value gains (BM test). b) Cash flows should be based
on principal amount o/s (SPPI test).
Question 3: Which debt instrument can be classified under the FVTPL category:
Any one condition should be satisfied:
(1) If debt is held for trading (stock in trade)
(2) It is a residual head
If Debt is not held for the Business Model CCFC then it is always classified as FVTPL.
Question 4: Which equity instrument can be classified under the FVTPL / FVTOCI / Amortised Cost?
First of all Equity instrument cannot be classified at Amortised Cost. This is because equity instrument cannot
satisfy SPPI or collection of contractual cash flows condition.
Any one condition is to be satisfied:
If equity is held for trading then it is classified as FVTPL.
IF FVTOCI option is not selected → FVTPL. This means FVTPL is a residual category.

DO YOU KNOW
Equity instruments (FA) are the ones that meet the definition of ‘equity’ from the perspective of issuer under
Ind AS – 32.
107 Accounting Standards

Question 5: Which Derivative instrument can be classified under the FVTPL / FVTOCI / Amortised Cost?
Derivative can only be FVTPL (held for trading). No other classification possible.

DO YOU KNOW
Derivative instrument net settlement (P/L) = FVTPL
Derivative instrument Gross settlement = Not a financial instrument (except for commodity broker)
Derivative instrument net settlement (P/L) for hedging = separately discussed in Ind AS – 109.
Derivative instrument for delivery of own fix equity shares at a fix exercise price: Equity

Equity instrument FVTOCI / FVTPL
Derivative instrument FVTPL

Problems on Business Model


Problem 1: An entity determines that the objective for its portfolio of financial assets is to hold till maturity
for collecting contractual cash flows. However, there are few past sales related to the portfolio. Entity sells FA
due to increase in the asset’s credit risk.
Problem 2: An entity determines that the objective for its portfolio of financial assets is to hold till maturity
for collecting contractual cash flows. However, there are few past sales related to the portfolio. Entity sells
FA close to the maturity whereby the sales approximate the collection of remaining contractual cash flows.
Problem 3: A non – financial entity anticipates capital expenditure in a few years. The entity invests the
funds in short term assets to collect contractual cash flows. But if an opportunity arises it will sell the FA for
a higher return.
Problem 4: A non – financial entity anticipates capital expenditure in a few years. The entity invests the
funds in short term assets to collect contractual cash flows. The maturity proceeds is again reinvested in
another short term funds. This strategy is maintained until the funds are needed for capital expenditure.
Solution1: The fact that an entity sells FA due to increase in the assets credit risk does not vitiate the entity’s
BM of holding the assets to collect contractual cash flows.
Solution 2: Total proceeds from selling as well as holding the assets to collect contractual cash flows are
same. BM is to hold the assets to collect contractual cash flows.
Solution 3: BM is both collecting contractual cash flows as well as to sell the FA.
Solution 4: Sale of FA takes place only in case of maturity which is natural. Fair value gains are not relevant.
BM is to collect contractual cash flows.

Problems on SPPI test Model


SPPI test → solely payments of principal and interest
Problem 1: An entity had issued INR 12,00,000 of acquired debt and INR 15,00,000 of originated debt.
Financial instruments Ind As – 109 / IFRS– 9: recognition Ind As – 107 / RRS – 7: Presentation Ind As – 32 / IAS– 32: Disclosures 108

Problem 2: Challa Ltd has a general creditor Billu Ltd and a Bank loan (secured). In case of bankruptcy the
loan will have priority over general creditor. Is the trade receivable in the books of Billu satisfies SPPI test.
Problem 3: Instrument X is a variable interest rate instrument with a stated maturity date. It permits the
borrower to choose the market interest rate on an ongoing basis. LIBOR is reset every 3 months.
Problem 4: Kolu Ltd had issued fixed as well as variable interest rate instruments.
Problem 5: Entity Gul invests in units of MF in an open ended money market / debt fund.
Problem 6: Balu Ltd holds a bond which pays LIBOR+1%. The contractual provisions of the instrument
establish that if the issuer credit rating changes, the interest rate of the entire instrument will be reset to lets
say LIBOR+2%.
Problem 7: A financial asset M requires an increase (a ‘step up’) in the interest rate at certain stages of the
life of the asset.
Problem 8: Neru Ltd has invested in Convertible Bonds of Texas Inc.
Problem 9: Japalu Bros has invested in a bond which pays interest in an inverse relationship with market
interest rates.
Solution 1: For an investor it does not matter whether it is an acquired or originated debt. We assume that
both principal and interest is paid as per the normal borrowing norms.
Solution 2: The loan will have a priority over general creditor. However, it does not affect the contractual
right of normal creditor to unpaid principal and other amounts due. The trade receivable in the books of Billu
meets SPPI test.
Solution 3: The CCF are SPPI as long as the interest paid over the life of the instrument reflects consideration
for the TVM, for the credit risk associated with the instrument, profit margin. The fact that the LIBOR interest
rate is reset during the life of the instrument does not in itself disqualify the investment.
Solution 4: The CCF are SPPI as long as the interest paid over the life of the instrument reflects consideration
for the TVM, for the credit risk associated with the instrument, profit margin. Both the fixed as well as variable
interest instruments qualify for the features of basic lending norms.
Solution 5: Here the MF scheme is an open ended scheme (any time entry or exit is very common). Further
the investor in a MF enters and exit at NAV (fair value) related prices. This means the return received by the
investors does not represent payments of principal and interest.
Solution 6: A compensation for credit risk by changing the interest rate is one of the feature of basic lending
arrangement. Hence satisfies SPPI test.
Solution 7: The instrument will pass the SPPI test if both the following conditions are met: (i) Step up rates
are decided at the inception. (ii) NPV at the beginning is same as if the instrument is a fixed interest security.
However, if the step – up rates compensate the lender for more than what would be considered appropriate
in a basic lending arrangement, the instrument is likely to fail the SPPI test.
Solution 8: The holder would analyse the Conv bond in its entirety, since Ind AS-109 does not separate
embedded derivatives from FA. The CCF are not SPPI because they reflect a return that is inconsistent with a
basic lending arrangement.
Solution9: The CCF are not SPPI. The interest amounts are not consideration for the time value of money.
12. CLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL LIABILITY:
Under Ind AS – 109, all financial liabilities are classified into the following 2 categories:
(a) Amortised Cost
(b) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)……held for trading FL.
Examples of FL held for trading:
109 Accounting Standards

(1) Shorting in cash market for equity shares. The obligation to pay FA for shares borrowed is FL for
trading. 2) Buy back of own bonds already issued at a market price. 3) Derivative for net settlement
and proved to be potentially unfavorable.
(13) Initial Recognition of FA / FL:
Receivables / Payables : When the Entity becomes a party to the Contract and has a legal right to receive
or a legal obligation to pay cash.
Firm Commitment to Buy / Sell Goods / Service: When one of parties has performed, e.g. Entity that places
order recognizes the Liability only when the Goods are shipped / delivered.
Forward Contract: Commitment Date, Not on the Settlement Date.
Option Contracts: When the Holder / Writer becomes a Party to the Contract.
Planned Future Transactions: Not to record assets / liabilities, since Entity has not become a party to it.
(14) Measurement: Entity shall measure a Financial Asset / Liability (except FVTPL) at its Fair Value
plus / minus Transaction Costs. Transaction costs may arise in the acquisition, issuance, or disposal
of a financial instrument. Transaction costs are incremental costs, such as fees and commissions paid
to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers; levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges; and
transfer taxes and duties.
For FA:
For FVTPL = Fair Value excluding Transaction Costs.
For FVTOCI and Amortized Cost = Fair Value plus Transaction Costs.

For FL:
For FVTPL = Fair Value excluding Transaction Costs.
For Amortized Cost = Fair Value less Transaction Costs.
Pirate Ltd has acquired 12000 equity shares of Appollo Munich at ₹ 120. Brokerage and taxes 2.5%.
Assuming FVTPL, FVTOCI.

(15) Subsequent Measurement:
(1) FVPTL: At Fair Value. The difference is transferred to P/L.
(2) FVTOCI: At Fair Value. The difference is transferred to OCI (OCI is further transferred to equity).
(3) Amorised Cost: It will be amortised till the maturity. Amortised Cost = (Opening balance +
Accrued Yield (interest) – Cash paid / received)
(16) Recognition of Interest, Dividend and other items:
Debt instruments + FVPTL
Interest / Derecognition → P/L
Debt instruments + FVTOCI
Interest → P/L
Derecognition → Recycled from OCI to P/L.

18. When to record FA / FL Or Also known as regular way of purchase / sale:
As per Ind AS-109 an entity should record a FA / FL only when they become parties to the contract.
Becoming parties to a contract means committing to purchase a security or committed to write a
derivative option. Only promises / intent to do something is not important.
Timing of recording FA / FL also depends upon the trade date and settlement date.
Recording as per trade date and settlement date is similar to regular purchase or sale transaction.
ww In case of trade date recording is done on the date when trade takes place.
ww In case of settlement method the transaction is recorded when financial instrument is received
or delivered by an entity.
111 Accounting Standards

Illustration: Restless Ltd purchased a Financial asset as on 29/3/2017 for ` 100. The fair value of the asset
as on 31/3/2017 (year end) ` 105 and on 02/4/2017 (settlement date) ` 106.

19. Impairment: (Ind AS-109)
Ind AS – 109 requires an entity to assess at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective
evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
Objective evidence of impairment that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired
includes observable data about these loss events:
(a) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor
(b) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments
(c) A troubled debt restructuring
(d) It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization
Financial instruments Ind As – 109 / IFRS– 9: recognition Ind As – 107 / RRS – 7: Presentation Ind As – 32 / IAS– 32: Disclosures 112

(e) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties
An Entity shall recognize a Loss Allowance for expected Credit Losses on:
(a) Financial Asset that is measured at Amortised Cost : loans, debt securities, deposits, bank
balance etc.
(b) Financial Asset that are debt instruments and are measured at FVTOCI,
(c) Lease Receivable under Ind AS - 17,
(d) Contract Asset – ex: Trade receivable,
(e) Loan Commitment not measured at FVTPL,
(e) Financial Guarantee Contract not measured at FVTPL.
Illustration: As on 31st March 2016, the carrying amount of X Ltd.’s trade receivables is ` 100 lakhs of
which 20% of trade receivable is overdue. The debtors have re-negotiated with X Ltd to pay the dues after 1
year only 75% of the overdue amount. The incremental borrowing rate of the debtors is 12%. Found out the
expected credit loss.
Solution:
For the financial assets, a credit loss is the PV of the difference between:
◘◘ The contractual cash flows that are due on an entity under the contract; and
◘◘ The cash flows that the entity expects to receive
Expected credit loss = ` 20 lakh minus ` 15 lakhs / (1+12%) = ` 6.61 lakhs

Measurement of expected credit losses – An entity shall measure expected credit losses of a financial instrument
in a way that reflects:
◘◘ An unbiased and probability – weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible
outcome
◘◘ The time value of money; and
◘◘ Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting
date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

Ind AS-109 prescribes two models for computing loss allowance on financial
assets
(a) 12 month expected credit loss (12 months ECL): When credit risk on financial instrument has not
significantly increased since initial recognition;
113 Accounting Standards

(b) Life time expected credit loss (LTECL): When the credit risk on a financial instrument increased
significantly since initial recognition.
Therefore, it is critical to assess whether there is significant increase in credit risk of financial instrument
since inception.
Credit Risk on that Financial Instrument has increased significantly since Initial Recognition: At each reporting
date, an entity shall measure the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime
credit loss if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition.
There is a rebuttable presumption that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly
since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. Therefore, when an
entity determine loss allowance as on a reporting date of trade receivable or advances or other financial
assets having maturity of more than 30 days because of this rebuttable presumption is should adopt life time
expected loss model.
Credit Risk in a Financial Instrument has not Increased Significantly since initial Recognition: IF, at the reporting
date, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition; an
entity shall measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12 - months
expected credit losses.
Illustration:
[12-month Expected Credit Losses (ECL) measurement – Probability of default Approach] – An entity as a lender
– Single 10 years loan for ` 10 lakhs.
Solution:
At initial recognition, the POD over the next 12 months is 0.5%. at reporting date, no change in 12 months
POD; and entity assesses that no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition – therefore Lifetime
ECL is not required to be recognized.
Loss given default (LGD) is determines to be 25% of gross carrying amount

Loan ` 10,00,000 A
LGD 25% B
POD – 12 months 0.5% C
Loss Allowance (for 12-months ECL) ` 1250 A*B*C

Illustration:
Fine Ltd. a manufacturer with a portfolio of short-term trade receivables (no financing component) from a
large number of small clients.
Solution:
Loss allowance at an amount equal to Lifetime ECL (simplified approach for trade receivables) Entity
creates a provision matrix that is based on its historical observed default rates over the expected life of trade
receivables and adjusts it for forward looking estimates.

Age Default rate (A) Gross Carrying Amount (B) LECL Allowance (A * B)
Current 0.3% 150,00,000 45,000

20. Derecognition / Retirement / Removal of FA / FL: (Ind AS-109)


Financial instruments Ind As – 109 / IFRS– 9: recognition Ind As – 107 / RRS – 7: Presentation Ind As – 32 / IAS– 32: Disclosures 114

The term “derecognition” refers to when an entity should remove an asset or liability from its balance
sheet. The derecognition requirements in Ind AS 109 set out the conditions that must be met in
order to derecognize a financial asset or financial liability and the computation of any gain or loss
on derecognition. There are separate derecognition requirements for financial assets and financial
liabilities.
20 (a). Derecognition of Financial Assets
Derecognition of a financial asset is appropriate if either one of these two criteria is met:
(1) The contractual rights to the cash flows of the financial asset have expired, or
(2) The financial asset has been transferred (e.g., sold) and the transfer qualifies for derecognition.
Complete Derecognition:
If all the rights / risk / rewards are actually being transferred then derecognition is to be recorded.
If the carrying amount of a financial asset is Rs 6,400 and the entity sells it for cash of Rs 6,500 in a
transfer that qualifies for derecognition, an entity makes these entries:
Various illustrations on derecognition:
Entity Golu holds the Financial Asset:
(1) FVTPL – debt instrument: INR 5000 ; OCI (cumulative balance) : INR 1200 ; Sale proceeds: INR
5400.
Journal:
Cash Dr 5400
OCI Dr 1200
To Asset 5000
To Profit on sale 1600
(2) FVTPL – equity instrument: INR 5000 ; OCI (cumulative balance) : INR 1200 ; Sale proceeds:
INR 5400.
Journal:
Cash Dr 5400
To Asset 5000
To OCI 400
Total OCI = 1200+400 = 1600 will be transferred to General Reserve A/C and not P/L.
No Derecognition: If an entity transfers a financial asset but retains substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership of the financial asset, then Ind AS – 109 requires the entity to continue to recognize the financial
asset in its entirety. No gain or loss is recognized as a result of the transfer. This situation is sometimes
referred to as a failed sale. (It is similar to Repo agreements referred in AS-9)
Partial Derecognition: If an entity has a continuing involvement in the FA even after it is transferred then
it amounts to partial derecognition. Here part of the FA will be derecognised with corresponding gain / loss
and part of the FA will be continued to be recorded.
20 (b) Derecognition of Financial Liabilities
The derecognition requirements for financial liabilities are different from those for financial assets.
There is no requirement to assess the extent to which the entity has retained risks and rewards
in order to derecognize a financial liability. Instead, the derecognition requirements for financial
liabilities focus on whether the financial liability has been extinguished. This means that derecognition
of a financial liability is appropriate when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or is
cancelled or expires.
115 Accounting Standards

21. Reclassification of financial instruments: An entity determines classification of FA and FL on


initial recognition. It is allowed to change such classification at a later date when and only when
there is change in the business for managing FA. Following are the key implications:
(a) No reclassification is permitted for FL.
(b) BM is not applicable for equity instruments. Once equity instruments are designated as FVTOCI
then its reclassification not allowed.
(c) This means FA which is debt instruments requires reclassification. If there is a change in BM
then reclassification is allowed. The change typically is determined by the entity’s senior
management.
Example: An entity has a portfolio of commercial loans for sale (FVTPL). It amalgamates with
another entity whose BM was to collect CCF(Amortised Cost). After merger now the Business Model
is both i.e. CCCF as well as Sale i.e. (FVTOCI).
(d) Reclassification is applicable prospectively and not retrospectively.
For understanding the provisions related to reclassification refer special illustration given below.
Journals for Reclassification:
1. Bonds for ` 1,50,000 at amortised cost is being reclassified as FVTPL
Solution:

22. Compound Financial Instruments (Ind AS-109): Sometimes a non - derivative financial
instrument issued contains both liability and equity elements. In other words, one component of
the instrument meets the definition of a financial liability and another component of the instrument
meets the definition of an equity instrument. Such instruments are referred to as compound
financial instruments. The approach to accounting for compound financial instruments is to apply
split accounting, that is, to present the liability and equity elements separately. First apply proceeds
towards the present value / fair value of liability component and then the balancing figure will be
Equity. This is applicable in the books of issuer……….Ind AS: 32.
23. (a) Embedded Derivatives:
It refers to a non - derivative (Host) contract with a derivative element included. This is an arrangement
where derivative element is implicit. For instance, one or more derivative features may be embedded
in a loan, bond, share, lease, insurance contract, or purchase or sale contract. When a derivative
feature is embedded in a non - derivative contract, the derivative is referred to as an embedded
derivative and the contract in which it is embedded is referred to as a host contract.
As per the revised Ind AS – 109 Embedded Derivative is a component of a Hybrid Contract that
also includes a Non–Derivative Host, with the effect that some of the Cash Flows of the Combined
Instrument vary in a way similar to a Stand–Alone Derivative.
Example:
Hybrid Contract Host Contract Derivative Contract
Lease with Contingent rent Lease Contract Contingent Rent
Forex Construction Contract Construction Contract Forex rates
Convertible Debentures Straight Debentures Conversion Option

(b) Accounting for Embedded Derivatives:


Situation 1: Host Asset is a Financial Asset: Record and measure the entire hybrid contract applying Ind
AS-109. No separation of embedded derivative is required.
Situation 2: The Hybrid contract is measured at FVTPL: Record and measure the entire hybrid contract
applying Ind AS-109 as FVTPL. No separation of embedded derivative is required.
Situation 3: Embedded Derivative cannot be separated: Record and measure the entire hybrid contract
applying Ind AS-109. No separation of embedded derivative is required.
Situation 4: Embedded Derivative can be separated: Split and record both the host and derivative item
separately.
When one should say that embedded derivative can be separated:
When the economic characteristics and risks of embedded derivative is not closely related to the characteristics
of the host contract. Also the embedded derivative can be independently recorded as Derivatives.
Lets discuss from the following illustrations whether the embedded derivative can be separated from the
host contract OR Are the embedded derivatives closely related.

24. Treasury Shares / Buy Back (In India):


An entity acquires its own shares which are known as buy back in India. In USA it is known as Treasury
shares. In India treasury shares are cancelled, but in other countries it is shown as a deduction from
equity.

Accounting treatment as per Ind AS - 109


When an entity reacquires an outstanding share or other equity instrument, the consideration paid is
deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss even if the reacquisition price differs from
the amount at which the equity instrument was originally issued. Similarly, if the entity subsequently resells
the treasury share, no gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss even if the proceeds at reissuance differ from
the consideration paid when the treasury shares were reacquired previously. The amount of treasury shares
is disclosed separately either in the notes or on the face of the balance sheet.

Example
On February 15, 2017, Poshak Ltd issues 100 shares at a price of `50 per share, resulting in total
proceeds of `5,000. It makes this journal entry:
Cash Dr 5,000
To Equity 5,000
On September 12, 2017, Poshak Ltd reacquires 20 of the shares at a price of `100 per share, resulting
in a total price paid of `2,000. It makes this journal entry:
Equity Dr 2,000
To Cash 2,000
25. Hedging:
Hedging as per Ind AS-109:
The purpose of hedging is to eliminate fluctuation / risk by locking a fix rate. By entering into
derivatives contracts (for hedging) one can offset loss in one contract by the gain in another contract.
(i) Components of hedging:
ww A hedged item: A hedged item is an asset, liability, firm commitment, highly probable forecast
transaction, or net investment in a foreign operation. To be designated as a hedged item, the
designated hedged item should expose the entity to risk of changes in fair value or future cash
flows.
ww A hedging instrument: A hedging instrument is a financial instrument, expected to offset
changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. In addition, the hedging instrument
must be with an external party.

Example: Arvind Exporters entered into a forward contract for receiving a fixed amount $5,00,000 after
3 months. Here the hedging item is amount receivable (asset) and hedging instrument is the forward
contract.
Financial instruments Ind As – 109 / IFRS– 9: recognition Ind As – 107 / RRS – 7: Presentation Ind As – 32 / IAS– 32: Disclosures 118

A hedging instrument should be effective in managing the risk of the hedged item.
Ind AS-109 identifies three types of hedging relationships:
(1) Fair value hedges – which hedges (manages) the exposure relating to changes in fair value of an item
or transaction. FVH provides protection against changes in the FV of asset / liabilities. Ex: Protecting
fixed income security against falling interest rates where FV of the financial instrument is exposed
to risk. X Ltd maintains an inventory of cocoa that it uses in production of chocolate. X Ltd takes a
forward cover to hedge the fair value of cocoa inventory.
(2) Cash flow hedges - which hedges (manages) the exposure relating to expected cash flows. In other
words it hedges the exposure on account of cash flows from any (i) recognised asset or liability
ex: interest receipt / payment of a recognised floating bond and not fixed bond because fixed rate
bond has fixed income hence no hedging required. (ii) highly probable forecasted sale or purchase
transaction ex: Sale going to take place in future, raw materials yet to be purchased in future.
Some important distinctions between FVH and CFH

Fair value hedge (FVH) Cash flow hedge (CFH)


Protects the asset / liability Protects the future cash flows
Gain / loss transferred to profit / loss a/c Effective portion transferred to equity and ineffective
portion to profit / loss a/c
(3) Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation - which hedges (manages) the exposure relating
to foreign operations.

Hedge accounting
(1) Fair value hedges – hedging instrument should be re-measured at fair value, with the gain or loss
transferred to profit and loss account. But if the hedging item is equity instrument classified as
FVTOCI then the gain / loss of hedging instrument is transferred to OCI. If the hedging item itself
is a financial asset which is not an equity instrument but classified as FVTOCI then the revaluation
difference will go to profit / loss account and not OCI.
(2) Cash flow hedges – hedging instrument should be split between effective portion and ineffective
portion. Effective portion transferred to Hedging Reserve through OCI and ineffective portion
transferred to profit / loss account. Inefficiency is computed for over hedging and not under - hedging.
(3) Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation – same as cash flow hedge.

Problems and Solutions


Problem 1: Classification of financial instruments into FL or equity.
Particulars (Remember it is books of issuer company) E / FL Reasons
Preference shares redeemable at a future date for specified amount
Preference shares redeemable by virtue of put option excisable by the holders
Preference shares which do not provide mandatory redemption
Preference shares will be redeemed subject to profits / government approval,
availability of cash
Preference shares will be redeemed at the option of the issuer
Compulsory payment of dividend
X Ltd issues 10% PS redeemable after 5 years
119 Accounting Standards

X Ltd issues 10% PS which is perpetual


X Ltd issues 10% PS which is perpetual and the dividend will be decided by the
Board
10% Loan semi-annual interest but no repayment clause.

Solution:
Particulars E/
Reasons
(Remember it is books of issuer company) FL
Obligation to pay dividend FL Obligation to pay cash
Preference shares redeemable at a future date for specified FL Contractual obligation to pay cash
amount
Preference shares redeemable by virtue of put option excisable FL Contractual obligation to pay cash
by the holders
Preference shares which do not provide mandatory E Company has an unconditional right to refuse
redemption redemption. No contractual obligation to pay
Preference shares will be redeemed subject to profits/ FL No unconditional right to avoid delivering cash
government approval, availability of cash hence FL. Potential redemption inability does not
negate the obligation
Preference shares will be redeemed at the option of the issuer E Company has an unconditional right to refuse
redemption
No contractual obligation to pay
Compulsory payment of dividend FL Distribution of dividend is a liab. to pay
X Ltd issues 10% PS redeemable after 5 years FL Contains redemption obligations
X Ltd issues 10% PS which is perpetual E Contains no redemption obligations But if
dividends are cumulative (to pay compulsory
anytime)then it is FL.
Div are non cumulative then it is Equity.
X Ltd issues 10% PS which is perpetual and the dividend will E Contains no redemption obligations. Also
be decided by the Board dividends are like non cumulative.
10% Loan semi-annual interest but no repayment clause. FL Obligation to pay interest is enough to treat the
FI as FL

Problem 2: Classify the following Financial Assets:


(1) Investments in open ended MF debt option.
(2) Share application money paid pending allotment.
(3) Investments in 10% Bonds strictly for sale in a short term.
(4) Investments in Zero Coupon Bonds for 5 years for a liability immunization.
(5) Investments in 7.5% Preference Shares @ INR 106. The repayment of capital and dividend both are
at the discretion of the issuer.
(6) Put options in Nifty Index.
(7) Forward contract for gross delivery of Zinc at an exercise price fixed as on today.
(8) Investments in 6% Convertible Bonds.
Solution: In the books of investor:
(1) For issuer it is not an equity instrument as there is no obligation to pay. Hence for the investor it
is also not an equity investment. Debt and FVTOCI not possible as SPPI test is negative. Hence its
FVTPL.
Financial instruments Ind As – 109 / IFRS– 9: recognition Ind As – 107 / RRS – 7: Presentation Ind As – 32 / IAS– 32: Disclosures 120

(2) Equity for issuer. For investor it cannot be debt instrument. Also share application money is not
held for trade. Hence it is FVTPL. Remember no revaluation can take place as equity shares are still
pending.
(3) FVTPL.
(4) Amortised cost.
(5) For issuer it is equity. Hence for investor it cannot be amortised cost. If it is assumed that it is held for
trading then FVTPL otherwise FVTOCI.
(6) Derivative for net settlement. FVTPL. (remember Nifty is always settled net)
(7) Does not require any FA classification as the instrument is exclusively held for hedging. It is derivative
but not FA / FL.
(8) For issuer Conv Bonds are not equity in its entirety. Hence for investor it is not equity. Also SPPI test
fails for Conv bonds. For investor it is FVTPL. Remember FVTPL is also a residual category.
Problem 3: Classify the following into Derivative and Non – Derivative instruments:
(1) MNL Limited whose functional currency is ₹ sells furniture in France denominated in Euro. The
exchange rate is fixed with the bank at 72 per Euro.
(2) A option proved to be out of the money on settlement date.
(3) Entity A makes a 5 year fixed interest rate loan to Entity B. On the other hand Entity B makes 5 year
variable interest rate loan to Entity A. No exchange of principal took place at inception.
(4) K Ltd has paid premium equal to the spot price as the option is very much deep in the money.
(5) XYZ paid 10% margin on a long position of SBI futures.
Solution:
(1) Yes. Initial investments Nil. Underlying asset Euro (foreign currency). Also settled on a later date.
(2) Yes. Options out of the money are also supposed to be settled. The holder has a right to lapse the
contract.
(3) Yes. No initial investment. Settled on a later date. Underlying asset is interest rates fixed minus
floating which can be gain or loss.
(4) No. The premium paid on options generally fulfills the requirement of little or no initial investment.
Here the investments in options are equal to the cash market.
(5) No. Margins are just collaterals / deposits. They themselves are not derivatives.
Problem 4: Classify the following into FL or Equity (Issuer):
(1) B Ltd short its own 1,000 equity shares at an exercise price of ₹ 145. The delivery of shares will be
after 3 months.
(2) Contract to deliver as many of the entity’s own instruments equal to ₹ 5,00,000.
(3) Laggu Ratan Limited issued 10 lakhs 6% Convertible Debentures of ₹ 100 at ₹ 109.
(4) FCCB.
Solution 4:
(1) Equity (fix for fix rule)
(2) FL (For an obligation of ₹ 5,00,000 it will be settled in entity’s own variable number of shares).
(3) PV of cash flows component is FL and residual value as equity.
(4) In Ind AS it is Embedded derivative. PV of cash flows component is FL and residual value as equity.

Problem 7: Definition of derivative: (CA Final Nov 2010, Nov 2011, Nov 2015 May 2016)
M/s TS Ltd has entered into a contract by which it has the option to sell its specified asset to NB Ltd for
`100 Lakhs after 3 years whereas the current market price is `150 Lakhs. Company always settles account
by delivery. What type of option is this? Is it a Financial Instrument? Explain with reference to the relevant
Accounting Standard.
Solution: TS Ltd has an “Option to Sell” the underlying asset. Hence, it is a Put Option Contract. But as the
past practice is to settle the option is by delivery hence it is not a financial instrument. But if the past practice
is to settle on net cash basis then it is a FI. Put / Call option is a derivative instrument but may or may not be
a Fin. Ins.
Delivery based derivative contracts are not FI.

Problem 16: Interest rate swap:


Company A has outstanding debt on which it currently pays fixed rate of interest at 9.5%.
The company intends to refinance the debt with a floating rate interest. The best floating rate it can obtain is
LIBOR + 2%. However it does not want to pay more than LIBOR.
Another Company B is looking for a loan at a fixed rate of interest to finance its exports. The best rate it can
obtain 13.5%, but it cannot afford to pay more than 12%. However, one bank has agreed to offer finance at a
floating rate of LIBOR + 2%. Citi Bank is in the process of arranging an interest rate swap between these two
companies.
(a) With a schematic diagram, show how the swap deal can be structured.
(b) What are the interest savings by each company?
(c) How much would Citi Bank receive?
Solution:
Aforesaid question can be structured as follows:

Cost of Debt
Company Target Fixed Rate Floating Rate
A Floating 9.50% p.a. LIBOR + 2%
B Fixed 13.50% p.a. LIBOR + 2%
Difference 4% 0%

Financial instruments Ind As – 109 / IFRS– 9: recognition Ind As – 107 / RRS – 7: Presentation Ind As – 32 / IAS– 32: Disclosures 130

Functioning ofswap deal - Stepwise:


Step 1: Company A pays 9.5% per annum (fixed rate) to lenders.
Step 2: Company B pays LIBOR+2% (floating rate) to lenders.
Step 3: Company A receives interest from bank @ 9.5% per annum as compensation forfixed rate loan.
Step 4: Company A pays LIBOR to bank (as it is the target).
Step 5: Citi Bank transfers LIBOR to company B to pay lenders.
Step 6: At last, Company B pays 10% (balancing figure) to bank. Hence, cost to Company B will be: 10% (to Bank)
+ 2% (to lenders, extra) = 12%.
The structure of swap deal can be summarised as follows:

Company Target Savings Net Cost Paid to Received Paid to


Market from Bank Bank
A (LIBOR+2%) - (LIBOR) = 2% LIBOR 9.5% 9.5% LIBOR
B 13.5%- 12%= 1.5% 12% LIBOR+2% LIBOR 10% (B.F.)

(a) Interest saving by each company :


As discussed above, if company A takes fixed rate debt and company B takes floating rate debt, then
there is total savings of 4% (13.5% - 9.5%) can be made.
Since, Company A cannot afford more than LIBOR so, its target savings would be 2% [(LIBOR + 2%)
– LIBOR]. So, it needs 2% share out of total 4% savings.
Further, Company B cannot afford more than 12% so, its target savings would be 1.5% [13.5% -
12%]. So, it needs 1.5% share out of total 4% savings. Therefore, the balance is 0.5% [4% - 2% -
1.5%] which will be charged by Citi Bank.
(b) As per the above analysis, Citi Bank would receive 0.5%.

company securitizes the principal component and the right to receive interest at 14% to B Ltd a SPV.
Out of the balance interest of 4%, it is stipulated that half of such balance interest namely 2%, will
be due to Arul as fees for continuing to service the loans. The costs likely to be incurred in servicing
the loan estimated to be Rs. 400. The remaining half of the interest is due to Arul as an interest strip
receivable. IRR is 13%. Give a/c treatment. (CA final June 2009)
(ii) Sea Ltd. has lent a sum of ` 10 lakhs @ 18% per annum for 10 years. The loan had a Fair Value of `
12,23,960 at the effective interest rate of 13%. To mitigate prepayment risks but at the same time

loan on its maturity with interest, after retaining right over 10% of principal and 4% interest that
carries Fair Value of ` 29,000 and ` 1,84,620 respectively. The consideration for the transaction was
` 9,90,000. The interest component retained included a 2% fee towards collection of principal and

Problem 22: Equity expenses:


Entity B places its privately held ordinary shares that are classified as equity with a stock exchange and
raises loan. It also simultaneously raises new capital by issuing new ordinary shares on the stock exchange.
Transaction costs are incurred in respect of both transactions. Determine the treatment of the incurred
transactions costs?
Solution:
Since the issue of new shares is the issue of an equity instrument, but the placing of the existing equity
instruments with the exchange is considered raising of loans. The transaction costs will need to be allocated
between the two transactions. Transaction costs in respect of the new shares issued will be recognised in
equity whereas the transaction costs incurred in placing the existing shares with the stock exchange will be
recognized in profit or loss.
Problem 23: Classification : E and FL
An entity issues a non-redeemable callable subordinated bond with a fixed 6% coupon. The coupon can be
deferred in perpetuity at the issuer‘s option. The issuer has a history of paying the coupon each year and the
current bond price is predicated on the holders expectation that the coupon will continue to be paid each
year. In addition the stated policy of the issuer is that the coupon will be paid each year, which has been
publicly communicated. Evaluate?
Solution:
Although there is both pressure on the issuer to pay the coupon, to maintain the bond price, and a constructive
obligation to pay the coupon, there is no contractual obligation to do so. Therefore the bond is classified as
an equity instrument.

Problem 24: Classification:


Entity A holds an option to purchase equity shares in a listed entity B for ` 100 per share at the end of a 90
day period. Evaluate the contract whether a financial asset or a financial liability? What if the entity A has
written the option?
Solution:
The above call option gives entity A, a contractual right to exchange cash of ` 100 for an equity share in
another entity and will be exercised if the market value of the share exceeds `100 at the end of the 90 day
period. If the market value of a share will be such that the entity A will gain on the exercise date, it will
exercise the call option.
Since entity A stands to gain if the call option is exercised, the exchange is potentially favourable to the entity.
Therefore, the option is a derivative financial asset from the time the entity becomes a party to the option
contract.
On the other hand, if entity A writes an option under which the counterparty can force the entity to sell equity
shares in the listed entity B for ` 100 per share at any time in the next 90 days, then entity A will be said to
have a contractual obligation to exchange its equity shares to another entity for cash of ` 100 per share on
potentially unfavourable terms i.e. if the holder exercises the option, on account of the market price per share
being above the exercise price of ` 100 per share at the end of the 90 day period. Since entity A stands to lose
if the option is exercised, the exchange is potentially unfavourable and the option is a derivative financial
liability from the time the entity becomes a party to the option contract.

(c) Ryno Ltd. should continue to recognize the transferred receivables because it has retained
substantially all risks and rewards of the receivables. It has kept all expected credit risk, and there
are no other substantive risks.
(d) Ryno Ltd. should derecognized the receivables because it has transferred substantially all risks and
rewards. Ryno Ltd. may have to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability for the servicing
right.
(e) Ryno Ltd. should continue to recognize the sold investment because it has retained substantially all
the risks and rewards of ownership. The total return swap results in Ryno Ltd. still being exposed to
all increases and decreases in the value of the investment.
(f) Ryno should derecognize the asset.

PROBLEMS ON HEDGING
Problem 27: Hedging:
Aakshaya Ltd. has given a 12.50% fixed rate loan to its subsidiary Shaya Ltd. Aakshaya Ltd. measures this loan
at an amortised cost of `2,50,000. Aakshaya Ltd. has plants to hive off the receivable at a later stage and as
a measure to safeguard against fall in value of its due enters into a pay-fixed, received floating interest rate
swap to convert the fixed interest receipts into floating rate receipts, Aakshaya Ltd. designates the swap as a
hedging instrument in a fair value hedge of the loan asset.
Over the following months, market interest rates increase and Aakshaya Ltd. earn interest income of
`25,000 on the loan and `1,000 as net interest payments on the swap. The fair value of the Loan Asset
decreases by ` 5,000 while that of the interest rate swap increases by `5,000. You are informed that all
conditions required for the Hedge Accounting are satisfied. You are required to pass journal entries, with
suitable narrations, in the books of Aakshaya Ltd. to record the above transactions. (CA Final May 2010 OS)

Problem 28: Fair Value hedge:


Mr Bankim is an exporter of goods. He exported goods worth $ 20,000 on 1/1/2017 on credit basis for a period of
6 months. As he is worried about the changes in exchange rates he took a forward cover. Following are the details:

Date Rate  
01/01/2017 1$ = ` 65.50 Spot rate
01/01/2017 1$ = ` 66.00 Forward rate for 6 months
31/03/2017 1$ = ` 65.00 Closing rate
31/03/2017 1$ = ` 65.20 Forward rate for 3 months
30/06/2017 1$ = ` 64.90 Spot rate = FR for 0 maturity

 Pass journal entries in the books of Mr Bankim assuming:


(i) He hedges his receivables by taking forward cover.
(ii) He speculates by taking forward (exporter cum speculator).
Solution:
It’s a hedge of Trade receivables i.e. a Fair Value Hedge.

Problem 29: Hedging - FVH
On April 1, 2013, Omega Ltd. borrowed ` 10 lakh at annual fixed interest rate of 7% payable half-yearly.
The life of the loan is 4 years with no pre-payment permitted. The company expected the interest rate to fall
and on the same day, it entered into an interest rate swap arrangement, whereby the company would pay
6-month LIBOR and would receive annual fixed interest of 7% every half-year. The swap effectively converted the
company’s fixed rate obligation to floating rate obligation. The following value of swap and debt are available

Case Study on Fair Value Hedge


On January 1, 2015, GT purchases a five-year bond that has a principal amount of $100,000 and pays annually
fixed interest rate of 5% per year (i.e., $5,000 per year). GT classifies the bond as an available-for-sale financial
asset. Current market interest rates for similar five-year bonds are also 5% such that the fair value of the bond
and the carrying amount of the bond on the acquisition date is equal to its principal amount of $100,000.
Financial instruments Ind As – 109 / IFRS– 9: recognition Ind As – 107 / RRS – 7: Presentation Ind As – 32 / IAS– 32: Disclosures 142

Because the interest rate is fixed, GT is exposed to the risk of declines in fair value of the bond. If market
interest rates increase above 5%, for example, the fair value of the bond will decrease below $100,000. This
is because the bond would pay a lower fixed interest rate than equivalent alternative investments available
in the market (i.e., the present value of the principal and interest cash flows discounted using market interest
rates would be less than the principal amount of the bond). To eliminate the risk of declines in fair value due
to increases in market interest rates, GT enters into a derivative to hedge (offset) this risk. More specifically,
on January 1, 2015, Entity A enters into an interest rate swap to exchange the fixed interest rate payments
it receives on the bond for floating interest rate payments. If the derivative hedging instrument is effective,
any declines in the fair value of the bond should offset by opposite increases in the fair value of the derivative
instrument. GT designates and documents the swap as a hedging instrument of the bond. On entering into the
swap on January 1, 2015, the swap has a net fair value of zero. (In practice, swaps usually are entered into at a
zero fair value). Therefore, no journal entry is required on this date. At the end of 2015, the bond has accrued
interest of $5,000.
GT makes this journal entry:
Interest receivable Dr 5,000
To Interest income 5,000
In addition, market interest rates have increased to 6%, such that the fair value of the bond has decreased
to $96,535. Because the bond is classified as available for sale, the decrease in fair value would normally have
been recorded directly in equity rather than in profit or loss. However, since the bond is classified as a hedged
item in a fair value hedge of the exposure to interest rate risk, this change in fair value of the bond is instead
recognized in profit or loss:
Hedging loss (hedged item) 3,465
To Available-for-sale financial asset 3,465
At the same time, GT determines that the fair value of the swap has increased by $3,465 to $3,465. Since
the swap is a derivative, it is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.
Therefore, GT makes this journal entry:
Swap asset Dr 3,465
To Hedging gain (hedging instrument) 3,465
Since the changes in fair value of the hedged item and the hedging instrument exactly offset, the hedge is
100% effective, and the net effect on profit or loss is zero.

Case Study on Cash Flow Hedge


At the beginning of 2010, Berry Ltd. issues a 10-year liability with a principal amount of $100,000 for
$100,000 (i.e., at par). The bond pays floating interest that resets each year as market interest rates change.
Entity A measures the liability at amortized cost ($100,000). Because the interest rate regularly resets to
market interest rates, the fair value of the liability remains approximately constant irrespective of how market
interest rates change. However, Berry wishes to convert the floating rate payments to fixed rate payments in
order to hedge its exposure to changes in cash flows due to changes in market interest rates over the life of
the liability.
To hedge the exposure, Berry enters into a five-year interest rate swap under which the entity pays
fixed rate payments (5%) and in return receives floating rate payments that exactly offset the floating rate
payments it makes on the liability. Entity B designates and documents the swap as a cash flow hedge of its
exposure to variable interest payments on the bond. On entering into the interest rate swap, it has a fair value
of zero. The effect of that interest rate swap is to offset the exposure to changes in interest cash flows to be
paid on the liability. In effect, the interest rate swap converts the liability’s floating rate payments into fixed
rate payments, thereby eliminating the entity’s exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to changes in
interest rates resulting from the liability.
At the end of 2015, the bond has accrued interest of $6,000. Berry Ltd makes this journal entry:
143 Accounting Standards

Interest expense Dr 6,000


To Bond interest payable 6,000
At the same time, a net interest payment of $1,000 has accrued under the swap for the year. Therefore;:
Swap interest receivable 1,000
To Interest expense 1,000
The net effect on profit or loss is fixed net interest expense of $5,000 (= 6,000 – 1,000). Because the swap
is a derivative, it is measured at fair value. Berry Ltd determines that the fair value of the swap (excluding
accrued interest) has increased by $5,200. As the swap is designated as a hedging instrument in a cash flow
hedge, the change in fair value is not recognized in profit or loss but as a separate component of equity to the
extent the swap is effective. In this case, Entity A determines that the swap is 100% effective.
Journal entry:
Swap asset Dr 5,200
To Equity (hedging reserve) 5,200
Because the fair value of the swap will converge to zero by its maturity, the hedging reserve for the swap
will also converge to zero by its maturity to the extent the hedge remains in place and is effective.
Problem 44:A Company enters into a fixed price forward contract to purchase one million kilograms
requirements. The of copper in accordance with its expected usage contract permits the company to take
physical delivery of the copper at the end of 12 ‘months or to payor receive a net settlement ‘in cash, based
on the change in fair· value’ of copper. Is the contract accounted for as a derivative? Explain
Answer: First lets prove that it is derivative instrument:
Condition 1: The contract should derive its value from Underlying Asset:
(a) Yes. Metal Prices are the underlying Asset
(b) Requires negligible Investment Yes. Only a Contract is entered.
(c) Can be settled on Net basis Yes. (Given)
(d) Volatility in underlying asset Metal Prices are subject to fluctuation
Condition 1: The contract should derive its value from an Yes. Metal Prices are the underlying Asset
underlying asset:
Condition 2: Either low investment or low investments Here No Investments.
Condition 3: Settled on a later date Will be settled after 12 months.
Yes it is a Derivative Contract as all conditions are satisfied.

Now let’s see whether it is a Financial Instrument:


If the contract is settled on Gross Delivery basis then it is not financial instrument but an Executory
Contract.
But if the contract is settled on net cash basis or delivery of goods will be immediately sold at a profit
further to another party then it is a financial instrument.
SOLVED QUESTION PAPER CA FINAL-MAY 2016
(ACCOUNTING STANDARDS)

AUDIT
Question 2(a): ENP Ltd engaged an actuary to ascertain its employee cost, gratuity and leave encashment
liabilities. As an auditor of ENP Ltd you would like to use the report of the actuary as an audit evidence. How
would you evaluate the work of an actuary. (Marks 4)
Solution: It is a case of work of an expert. As per AS-15 (Rev) every entity is required to compute its retirement
benefit for each year of service rendered by the employees. The certification is done by a qualified actuary. If
the actuary is a qualified actuary and quite experienced in the field then the report can be used as an audit
evidence.
Question 4 (d): B Pvt Ltd started stock broking business at a cost of ₹ 150 lakhs. The same is recorded
under the head fixed assets. The company did not write off any amount since the rights would enable the
company to carry the business in perpetuity. As a statutory auditor comment ? (Marks 4)
Solution: Under AS – 26 every Intangible Asset has a finite life. But if any IA has an infinite life then it has to
be amortised for a maximum period of 10 years. The company in the present case has not yet amortised the
IA (Stock Membership Card). The auditor should modify the auditor Report for non – compliance of AS-26.
Question 6(a): K Ltd changed its employee remuneration policy from 1/4/2015 to provide for PF on leave
encashment also. The leave encashment policy provides that employees can either utilize or encash it. As on
31/3/2016 the company obtained the actuarial valuation for leave encashment. However, it did not provide
for 12% PF contribution on it. The auditor insists on providing PF on leave encashment but the management
replied that it will be provided only on the date when leave encashment will be availed. Many times leave
encashment is not utilized. Comment (Marks 4)
Solution: All the retirement benefits like gratuity, pension etc should be recorded on accrued basis. The
rendering of services by the employees is the point of accrual. PF cannot be provided on Cash basis i.e. Pay
as you go basis. The company has to make a proper valuation as per AS – 15 (Rev) for the provision of PF on
leave encashment otherwise the audit report needs to be modified.
Question 7(a) Deferred Taxation: (Marks 4)
Deferred Taxes: Deferred taxes are taxes on timing differences. Deferred taxes indicate either taxes payable
in future or tax savings in future. If today more taxes have been paid against tax expense, this mean for future
we have created a Deferred tax Asset (DTA). If today less taxes have been paid against tax expense, then a
liability is accrued which is Deferred tax Liability (DTL).
Deferred Taxes = Tax rate% x Timing Differences
Measurement of Deferred Taxes: For the measurement of D.T. let’s say Depreciation as per I. Tax is ` 1,00,000
and Depreciation as per Companies Act is ` 70,000. Tax rate is 30%.
Then T.D = ` 30,000 and D. T. = 30% x 30,000 = ` 9,000 (DTL)à pay less today and tax authority will recover
it in subsequent year.
Other important points:
◘◘ DTA indicates assets created for the company.
◘◘ DTL indicates liability created for the company.
Solved Question Paper—CA Final-May 2016 (Accounting Standards) 145

◘◘ Separate DTA’s / DTL’s are calculated for each timing difference.


◘◘ Once a DTA / DTL is created it should be reversed in the subsequent in years.
◘◘ Deferred taxes are created for all timing differences. Deferred taxes are not created for permanent
differences.
◘◘ Deferred taxes also arise in case of companies paying Nil taxes.
◘◘ Deferred taxes should not be discounted.
◘◘ Deferred taxes should be created for all timing differences. But for DTA the principle of prudence
should also be taken care of.
P roblem 13: Z Ltd changed its employee remuneration policy from 1st April 2012, to provide for 12%
Contribution to Provident Fund on Leave Encashment also. As per the Leave Encashment Policy, the
Employees can either utilize or encash it. As at 31st March 2013 the Company obtained an actuarial valuation
for the Leave Encashment Liability. However, it did not provide for 12% PF Contribution on it. The Auditor of the
Company wants it to be provided, but the Management replied that as and when the employees availed leave
encashment, the Provident Fund Contribution was made. The Company further contends that this is the correct
treatment, as it is not sure whether the employees will avail leave encashment or utilize it. (5 Marks)
Solution: The company must provide the 12% PF on leave encashment. As per AS-15 (Rev) any retirement
benefits payable in future is required to be provided on accrual baiss as and when the employees render the
services. Pay – as – you – go theory is abolished i.e. not to record the empoyees cost when they are paid. As
the company is not following AS-15 (Rev) the audit reports are required to be qualified.
