AS-16 BORROWING COST

Obecti!e"

The ob(ective of this %tandard is to prescribe the accounting treatment for borrowing costs.

Sco#e

1. This %tandard should be applied in accounting for borrowing costs.

2. This %tandard does not deal with the actual or imputed cost of owners e/uity) including

preference share capital not classified as a liability..

De$inition%

The following terms are used in this %tandard with the meanings specified:

1 ,orrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred by an enterprise in connection with the

borrowing of funds.

2 A /ualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for

its intended use or sale. 0onditions of A% 1'

,orrowing costs may include:

a3 *nterest and commitment charges on bank borrowings and other short4term and long4term

borrowings5

b3 Amorti6ation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings5

c3 Amorti6ation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings5

d3 7inance charges in respect of assets ac/uired under finance leases or under other similar

arrangements5 and

e3 !change differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the e!tent that they are

regarded as an ad(ustment to interest costs.

!cess of the 0arrying Amount of the 8ualifying Asset over Recoverable Amount

2


3/72

-hen the carrying amount or the e!pected ultimate cost of the /ualifying asset e!ceeds its

recoverable amount or net reali6able value) the carrying amount is written down or written off in

accordance with the re/uirements of other Accounting %tandards. *n certain circumstances) the

amount of the write4down or write4off is written back in accordance with those other Accounting

%tandards.

0ommencement of 0apitali6ation

The capitali6ation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a /ualifying asset should commence

when all the following conditions are satisfied:

a3 !penditure for the ac/uisition) construction or production of /ualifying asset is being

incurred5

b3 ,orrowing costs are being incurred5 and

c3 activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress.

!penditure on a /ualifying asset includes only such e!penditure that has resulted in payments

of cash) transfers of other assets or the assumption of interest4bearing liabilities. !penditure is

reduced by any progress payments received and grants received in connection with the asset see

Accounting %tandard 12) Accounting for +overnment +rants3. The average carrying amount of

the asset during a period) including borrowing costs previously capitali6ed) is normally a

reasonable appro!imation of the e!penditure to which the capitali6ation rate is applied in that

period.

*llustration

costs) since in that case the difference between the interest on local currency borrowings and

foreign currency borrowings Hi.e. Rs. "$)&?? Rs. &C)&?? Rs. 2$)???3I is more than the

This Accounting %tandard is mandatory for all companies. Nowever) disclosure of diluted

earnings per share both including and e!cluding e!tra4 ordinary items3 is not mandatory for

%mall and Bedium %i6ed 0ompanies) as defined in the 9otification. %uch companies are

however encouraged to make these disclosures.

Obecti!e

The ob(ective of this %tandard is to prescribe principles for the determination and presentation of

earnings per share which will improve comparison of performance among different enterprises

for the same period and among different accounting periods for the same enterprise. The focus of

this %tandard is on the denominator of the earnings per share calculation. ven though earnings

per share data has limitations because of different accounting policies used for determining

Learnings) a consistently determined denominator enhances the /uality of financial reporting.

Sco#e

1. This %tandard should be applied by all companies. Nowever) a %mall and Bedium %i6ed

0ompany) as defined in the 9otification) may not disclose diluted earnings per share both

including and e!cluding e!traordinary items3.

2. *n consolidated financial statements) the information re/uired by this %tatement should be

7or the purpose of this %tandard) the following terms are used with the meanings specified:

1 An e/uity share is a share other than a preference share.

2 A preference share is a share carrying preferential rights to dividends and repayment of capital.

" A financial instruments is any contract that gives rise to both a financial asset of one enterprise

AS-(( ACCOUNTING *OR TA+ES ON INCOME

13


14/72

Obecti!e

The ob(ective of this %tandard is to prescribe accounting treatment for ta!es on income. Ta!es on

income are one of the significant items in the statement of profit and loss of an enterprise. *n

accordance with the matching concept) ta!es on income are accrued in the same period as the

revenue and e!penses to which they relate. Batching of such ta!es against revenue for a period

poses special problems arising from the fact that in a number of cases) ta!able income may be

significantly different from the accounting income. This divergence between ta!able income and

accounting income arises due to two main reasons. 7irstly) there are differences between items of

revenue and e!penses as appearing in the statement of profit and loss and the items which are

considered as revenue) e!penses or deductions for ta! purposes. %econdly) there are differences

between the amount in respect of a particular item of revenue or e!pense as recogni6ed in the

statement of profit and loss and the corresponding amount which is recogni6ed for the

computation of ta!able income.

Sco#e

1. This %tandard should be applied in accounting for ta!es on income. This includes the

determination of the amount of the e!pense or saving related to ta!es on income in respect of an

accounting period and the disclosure of such an amount in the financial statements.

2. 7or the purposes of this %tandard) ta!es on income include all domestic and foreign ta!es

which are based on ta!able income.

". This %tandard does not specify when) or how) an enterprise should account for ta!es that are

payable on distribution of dividends and other distributions made by the enterprise.

De$inition%

7or the purpose of this %tandard) the following terms are used with the meanings specified:

1 .Accounting income loss3 is the net profit or loss for a period) as reported in the statement of

profit and loss) before deducting income ta! e!pense or adding income ta! saving.

2. Ta!able incomes ta! loss3 is the amount of the income loss3 for a period) determined in

accordance with the ta! laws) based upon which income ta! payable recoverable3 is determined.

14


15/72

". Ta! e!pense ta! saving3 is the aggregate of current ta! and deferred ta! charged or credited to

the statement of profit and loss for the period.

$. 0urrent ta! is the amount of income ta! determined to be payable recoverable3 in respect of

the ta!able income ta! loss3 for a period.

&. #eferred ta!es is the ta! effect of timing differences.

'. Timing differences are the differences between ta!able income and accounting income for a

period that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subse/uent periods.

K. Permanent differences are the differences between ta!able income and accounting income for

a period that originates in one period and do not reverse subse/uently.

Reco,nition

Ta! e!pense for the period) comprising current ta! and deferred ta!) should be included in the

determination of the net profit or loss for the period.

Ta!es on income are considered to be an e!pense incurred by the enterprise in earning income

and are accrued in the same period as the revenue and e!penses to which they relate. %uch

matching may result into timing differences. The ta! effects of timing differences are included in

the ta! e!pense in the statement of profit and loss and as deferred ta! assets sub(ect to the

consideration of prudence as set out in paragraphs 1&41C3 or as deferred ta! liabilities) in the

balance sheet.

Permanent differences do not result in deferred ta! assets or deferred ta! liabilities.

Re4assessment of >nrecogni6ed #eferred Ta! Assets

At each balance sheet date) an enterprise re4assesses unrecogni6ed deferred ta! assets. The

enterprise recogni6es previously unrecogni6ed deferred ta! assets to the e!tent that it has become

reasonably certain or virtually certain) as the case may be) that sufficient future ta!able income

will be available against which such deferred ta! assets can be reali6ed. 7or e!ample) an

improvement in trading conditions may make it reasonably certain that the enterprise will be able

to generate sufficient ta!able income in the future.

15


16/72

Review of #eferred Ta! Assets

The carrying amount of deferred ta! assets should be reviewed at each balance sheet date. An

enterprise should write4down the carrying amount of a deferred ta! asset to the e!tent that it is no

longer reasonably certain or virtually certain) as the case may be) that sufficient future ta!able

income will be available against which deferred ta! asset can be reali6ed. Any such write4down

may be reversed to the e!tent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain) as the case

may be) that sufficient future ta!able income will be available.

INTERNATIONA *INANCIA RE'ORTING STANDARD .I*RS/

17


18/72

Meanin,

*nternational 7inancial Reporting %tandards *7R%3 is a set of accounting standards developed by

an independent) not4for4profit organi6ation called the *nternational Accounting %tandards ,oard

*A%,3. The goal of *7R% is to provide a global framework for how public companies prepare

and disclose their financial statements. *7R% provides general guidance for the preparation of

financial statements) rather than setting rules for industry4specific reporting.

Naving an international standard is especially important for large companies that have

subsidiaries in different countries. Adopting a single set of world4wide standards will simplify

accounting procedures by allowing a company to use one reporting language throughout. A

single standard will also provide investors and auditors with a cohesive view of finances.

0urrently) over 1?? countries permit or re/uire *7R% for public companies) with more countries

e!pected to transition to *7R% by 2?1&. Proponents of *7R% as an international standard maintain

that the cost of implementing *7R% could be offset by the potential for compliance to improve

credit ratings. *7R% is sometimes confused with *A% *nternational Accounting %tandards3)

which are older standards that *7R% has replaced.

Obecti!e o$ *inancial State0ent%

7inancial statements are a structured representation of the financial positions and financial

performance of an entity. The ob(ective of financial statements is to provide information about

the financial position) financial performance and cash flows of an entity that is useful to a wide

range of users in making economic decisions. 7inancial statements also show the results of the

managementQs stewardship of the resources entrusted to it.

To meet this ob(ective) financial statements provide information about an entityQs: a3 assets5 b3

liabilities5 c3 e/uity5 d3 income and e!penses) including gains and losses5 e3 contributions by

and distributions to owners in their capacity as owners5 and f3 cash flows. This information)along with other information in the notes) assists users of financial statements in predicting the

entityQs future cash flows and) in particular) their timing and certainty.

The following are the general features in *7R%:

1.7air presentation and compliance with *7R%:

18


19/72

7air presentation re/uires the faithful representation of the effects of the transactions) other

events and conditions in accordance with the definitions and recognition criteria for assets)

liabilities) income and e!penses set out in the 7ramework of *7R%.

2. +oing concern:

7inancial statements are present on a going concern basis unless management either intends to

li/uidate the entity or to cease trading) or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

". Accrual basis of accounting:

An entity shall recogni6e items as assets) liabilities) e/uity) income and e!penses when they

satisfy the definition and recognition criteria for those elements in the 7ramework of *7R%.

$. Bateriality and aggregation:

very material class of similar items has to be presented separately. *tems that are of a dissimilar

nature or function shall be presented separately unless they are immaterial.

&. ffsetting

ffsetting is generally forbidden in *7R%. Nowever certain standards re/uire offsetting when

specific conditions are satisfied such as in case of the accounting for defined benefit liabilities in

*A% 1G and the net presentation of deferred ta! liabilities and deferred ta! assets in *A% 123.

'. 7re/uency of reporting:

*7R% re/uires that at least annually a complete set of financial statements is presented. Nowever

listed companies generally also publish interim financial statements for which the accounting is

fully *7R% compliant3 for which the presentation is in accordance with *A% "$ Interim

Financing eporting .

K. 0omparative information:

*7R% re/uires entities to present comparative information in respect of the preceding period for

all amounts reported in the current periodQs financial statements. *n addition comparative

information shall also be provided for narrative and descriptive information if it is relevant to

19


20/72

understanding the current periodQs financial statements. The standard *A% 1 also re/uires an

additional statement of financial position also called a third balance sheet3 when an entity

applies an accounting policy retrospectively or makes a retrospective restatement of items in its

financial statements) or when it reclassifies items in its financial statements. This for e!ample

occurred with the adoption of the revised standard *A% 1G as of 1 anuary 2?1"3 or when the

The financial performance of an entity is presented in the %tate0ent o$ co0#3ehen%i!e inco0e)

which consists of the income statement and the statement of other comprehensive income

usually presented in two separate statements3. 7inancial performance includes the following

elements which are recognised in the income statement or other comprehensive income as

Re!en2e%: increases in economic benefit during an accounting period in the form of inflows or

enhancements of assets) or decrease of liabilities that result in increases in e/uity. Nowever) it

does not include the contributions made by the e/uity participants for e!ample owners) partners

E#en%e%: decreases in economic benefits during an accounting period in the form of outflows)

or depletions of assets or incurrences of liabilities that result in decreases in e/uity. Nowever)

these donQt include the distributions made to the e/uity participants

An item is recogni6ed in the financial statements when:

it is probable future economic benefit will flow to or from an entity.

the resource can be reliably measured

*n some cases specific standards add additional conditions before recognition is possible or

prohibit recognition altogether.

An e!ample is the recognition of internally generated brands) mastheads) publishing titles)

customer lists and items similar in substance) for which recognition is prohibited by *A% "C. *n

addition research and development e!penses can only be recognised as an intangible asset if they

cross the threshold of being classified as Qdevelopment costQ.

-hilst the standard on provisions) *A% "K) prohibits the recognition of a provision for contingent

liabilities) this prohibition is not applicable to the accounting for contingent liabilities in a

business combination. *n that case the ac/uirer shall recognise a contingent liability even if it is

Ado#tion o$ I*RS b4 Indian Co0#an4

*ndia today has become an international economic force. *ndian companies has surpassed in

several sectors of the industry that includes) *T%) software) pharmaceutical) auto spare part to

name a few. And to stay as a leader in the international market *ndia opted the changes it need to

interface *ndian stakeholdersQ) the international stakeholdersQ and comply with the financial

reporting in a language that is understandable to all of them. *n response to the need several

*ndian companies have already been providing their financial statements as per >% +AAP andFor

*7R% on voluntary basis. ,ut) however this is becoming more of a necessity then (ust being a

best practice.

*n the coming years) critical decisions will need to be made regarding the use of global

accounting standards in *ndia. Barket participants will be called upon to determine whether

achieving a uniform set of high4/uality global accounting standards is feasible) what sort of

investments would be re/uired to achieve that outcome) and whether it is a desirable goal in the

first place. This dialogue will be critical to the future of financial reporting and of fundamental

importance to the long4term strength and stability of the global capital markets.

Performance measures) based on *ndian +AAP may need revisiting as it may change in *7R%

adoption by fair amount on account of valuation aspect. !pectation of investor and market will

also be re/uired to be of paramount importance to manage in the adoption of process.

DE7EO'MENTS IN INDIA- I*RS

The *ndian +AAP is influenced by several standard setters and influenced by %tatute) namely

0ompanies Act) *ncome Ta! Act) ,anking Regulation Act) *nsurance Act etc and directions from

regulatory bodies like R,*) %,*) *R#A.

The legal or regulatory re/uirement will prevail over the *7R% re/uirement) in case of conflicts.

Therefore) pre4conditions for *7R% adoption by *ndia to be effective need amendments in

re/uired legislation and clarity on impact of *7R% adoption on #irect and *ndirect ta!es)

especially transactions recorded at fair values.

24


25/72

*nstitute of 0hartered Accountants of *ndia is actively promoting the *A%,Qs pronouncements in

the country with a view to facilitating global harmoni6ation of Accounting %tandards and *0A*

has pronounced that *ndian +AAP will converge into *7R% with effect from April 1) 2?11.

According to the above press release) there will be two separate sets of Accounting %tandards

under %ection 211"03 of the 0ompanies Act) 1G&'. The two sets would be as described below:

*i3%t %et would comprise of the *ndian Accounting %tandards which are converged with the *7R%

*7R% converged standards3. *t shall be applicable to specified class of companies5

Second %et would comprise of the e!isting *ndian Accounting %tandards !isting Accounting

%tandards3 and would be applicable to other companies including small and medium companies

%B0s3.

WHO WI BE BENE*ITED9

The convergence with *7R% entails benefit to the following:

The Investors:- The investor will be benefited in as the way accounting information made

available to them will be more reliable) relevant) timely and most importantly the information

will be comparable across different legal framework. *t will develop better understanding and

confidence among the investors.

The Professional:- The professional) both in practice and in employment will get benefits as

they will be able to provide their services in various part of the world) as few years after

everybody will follow the same reporting standards.

The Corporate world:- The *ndian corporate reputation and relationship with international

finance community will elevate because of achievement of higher level of consistency between

reporting structure and re/uirements5 better access to international markets5 improving

confidence among the international investors. The international comparability will also get

improve strengthening the industrial and capital markets in the country.

CHAENGES TO BE *ACED9

25


26/72

#espite several benefits as may be looked out by the different people) there will be several

challenges that will be faced on the way of *7R% convergence.

The first and far most would be from the differences between *ndian +AAP and *7R%. The

differences are wide and very deep routed) to say a few 4Plant Property and /uipment PP3

accounting) 7inancial *nstruments accounting) *nvestment accounting) ,usiness combination)

%hare based payment) current and non4current classification of asset and liabilities) presentation

of financial statements) all are not dealt under *ndian +AAP.

0onvergence is not (ust one time technical steps but will impose practical challenges of

significant business and regulatory matters like structuring of %P schemes) training of

employees) ta! planning) modification of *T system) compliance with debt covenants.
