IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement does not apply to share-based payment transactions (IFRS 2), leasing transactions (IFRS 16), or measurements with some similarity to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value (IAS 2) or value in use (IAS 36). It also excludes certain disclosures for employee benefits and retirement plans.
IFRS 13's valuation techniques apply to all methods of measuring fair value and include market-based approaches, and IFRS 13 does not prioritise the use of one valuation technique over another. In some cases using only one of these valuation techniques will be appropriate.
The correct answer is option b. "Leasing transactions within the scope of IAS 17 Leases" is not an exception for the application of IFRS 13. IFRS 13 provides guidance on fair value measurement and applies to all fair value measurements, except for those specifically excluded or limited by other IFRS standards.
The income approach, market approach, and cost approach are all recognized in IFRS 13 as valuation approaches to measure fair value. Therefore, the residual approach is NOT recognized in IFRS 13 as one of the valuation approaches to measure fair value.
Paragraph 52 of IFRS 13 includes a scope exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis. This is referred to as the portfolio exception.
LIFO is banned under IFRS due to potential financial distortions. LIFO can understate company earnings and lead to outdated inventory values. Under LIFO, tax liabilities are reduced but at the cost of outdated inventory values.
Although transaction costs are taken into account when identifying the most advantageous market, the fair value is calculated before adjustment for transaction costs because these costs are characteristics of the transaction and not the asset or liability.
Both GAAP and IFRS allow First In, First Out (FIFO), weighted-average cost, and specific identification methods for valuing inventories. However, GAAP also allows the Last In, First Out (LIFO) method, which is not allowed under IFRS.
IFRS 15 does not apply to wholly unperformed contracts where all parties have the enforceable right to end the contract without penalty. These contracts do not affect an entity's financial position until either party performs under the contract.
Explanation: Deferred charges are not a major asset classification. The major asset classifications are current assets, long-term assets, and property, plant, and equipment. Assets are future economic resources.
What are the major drawbacks or limitations of implementing IFRS in organisations? Major drawbacks include high implementation costs, complex standards requiring subjective interpretation, and a lack of universal global adoption, which can hinder true comparability.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement is issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the Board). IFRS Standards together with their accompanying documents are issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “Board”).
The four main inventory valuation methods are FIFO or First-In, First-Out; LIFO or Last-In, First-Out; Specific Identification; and Weighted Average Cost.
The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are accounting rules for public companies with the goal of making company financial statements consistent, transparent, and easily comparable around the world.
AS 13 Accounting for Investments is widely used and deals with accounting for investments in financial statements prepared by a Company and prescribes various disclosure requirements.
In this instance, revenue is recognized when all four of the traditional revenue recognition criteria are met: (1) the price can be determined, (2) collection is probable, (3) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, and (4) delivery has occurred.
IFRS 17 applies to insurance contracts. Although this means that IFRS 17 affects any company that writes insurance contracts, such contracts are generally not written by companies outside of the insurance industry. Most listed insurers use IFRS Standards.
A recap. IFRS 16 and Topic 842 became effective for IFRS Accounting Standards preparers and US GAAP public companies in 2019, and US private entities (including most not-for-profit entities) in 2022. Both IFRS 16 and Topic 842 require lessees to report most of their leases on-balance sheet, as assets and liabilities.
There are optional recognition exemptions when the lease term is 12 months or less or when the underlying asset has a low value when new.
LIFO understates profits for the purposes of minimizing taxable income, results in outdated and obsolete inventory numbers, and can create opportunities for management to manipulate earnings through a LIFO liquidation. Due to these concerns, LIFO is prohibited under IFRS.
IFRS 4 was issued in March 2004 and applies to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005. IFRS 4 will be replaced by IFRS 17 as of 1 Janaury 2023.
With limited exceptions, IFRS 13 applies where another IFRS requires or allows fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard provides guidance on establishing fair values and introduces consistent disclosure requirements.
There are four basic types of transactions costs. These include bargaining, opportunity, search, and policing/enforcement costs. Each covers a different aspect of transaction costs.
