About this book

The 2021 edition of International GAAP® has been fully revised and updated in order to:

• Provide expanded discussion and practical illustrations on the many implementation issues arising as entities continue to apply IFRS 16 – Leases , including those related to recent rent concessions and the associated narrow scope amendment issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

• Include an updated chapter on the new insurance contracts standard IFRS 17 –Insurance Contracts , which reflects the IASB’s recently issued Amendments to IFRS17 , resulting in a number of significant changes as well as many other editorial alterations. The chapter also discusses implementation issues and explores other matters arising as insurers prepare for the adoption of the standard.

• Continue to investigate the many application issues arising as entities apply IFRS 9 –FinancialInstruments– and IFRS 15 –RevenuefromContractswithCustomers .

• Discuss the IASB’s amendments to IFRS 9 and related standards to address the effects of the Interbank Offered Rates (IBOR) reform on financial reporting.

• Illustrate the application of IFRS to the accounting for natural disasters highlighted by the accounting issues related to the recent coronavirus pandemic.

• Discuss the new agenda decisions issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee since the preparation of the 2020 edition.

• Address the amendments to standards and the many other initiatives that are currently being discussed by the IASB and the potential consequential changes to accounting requirements.

• Provide further insight on the many issues relating to the practical application of IFRS, based on the extensive experience of the book’s authors in dealing with current issues.

The book is published in three volumes. The 56 chapters – listed on pages xi to xiii –are split between the three volumes as follows:

• Volume 1 - Chapters 1 to 22,

• Volume 2 - Chapters 23 to 43,

• Volume 3 - Chapters 44 to 56.

Each chapter includes a detailed list of contents and list of illustrative examples.

Each of the three volumes contains the following indexes covering all three volumes:

• an index of extracts from financial statements,

• an index of references to standards and interpretations,

• a general index.

Preface

The IASB noted in its 2018 analysis of the use of IFRS around the world that, other than China, India, Japan and the United States, the vast majority of the 166 jurisdictions they have researched require the use of IFRS for all or most domestic publicly accountable entities (listed companies and financial institutions) in their capital markets. Maintaining the current international alignment of accounting standards requires an ongoing commitment on the part of all jurisdictions involved, but the benefits of IFRS are clear when looking at the way in which the IASB was able to consider the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on financial reporting.

The coronavirus outbreak was first reported near the end of 2019, with the virus subsequently spreading worldwide. On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation classified the outbreak as a pandemic. While the coronavirus outbreak is first and foremost a public health concern, it has significantly impacted the world economy and, indirectly, financial reporting and the work of the IASB itself.

In response to the development, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 16 – Leases: Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions , deferred the effective date of Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current , decided to extend the consultation period of several consultation documents by three months, and decided to monitor the situation with a view to making further changes to its timelines, if necessary. As a result, the next milestones of many of the IASB’s projects have been pushed out to accommodate the exceptional circumstances.

The economic impacts of the coronavirus outbreak can also be seen in the financial reports of companies where it has affected the accounting for and disclosure of going concern issues, impairment testing, government grants, leases, onerous contracts, income taxes and fair value measurement. While the economic uncertainty increased the need for the careful exercise of judgement, IFRS has offered an accounting framework that provides the necessary guidance to deal even with these unusual circumstances.

Newstandards

IFRS 16 became effective in 2019 and its interactions with other standards has given rise to a number of challenging implementation questions that continue to be addressed. The Interpretations Committee has published agenda decisions on the treatment of subsurface rights, determining the incremental borrowing rate, the definition of a lease and the interaction between the lease term and useful life of leasehold improvements. The IASB continues to work on its project that deals with the application of IAS 12 –Income Taxes – to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, while the Interpretations

Committee is currently considering the accounting for the sale and leaseback of an asset in a single-asset entity.

IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts – was amended in June 2020 and has an effective date of 1 January 2023. The IASB amended IFRS 17 in response to matters of concern raised primarily in Europe regarding the concepts and practical implementation of the standard that were raised by stakeholders. IFRS 17, together with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments , will result in profound changes to the accounting in IFRS financial statements for insurance companies. This will also have a significant impact on data, systems and processes used to produce information for financial reporting purposes. The new model is likely to have a significant impact on the profit and total equity of some insurance entities, but IFRS 17 has been welcomed by the user community as it is expected to improve comparability between insurers and increase the transparency around the drivers of performance and source of earnings.

Currentworkplan

The IASB has deferred its agenda consultation until 2021 and is currently still working on the projects in its work plan for the period from 2017 until 2021. The work plan can be divided into three elements: the standard-setting and maintenance projects, the research projects, and the Better Communication in Financial Reporting initiative.

The IASB’s standard-setting and maintenance agenda focuses almost exclusively on narrow scope projects that address certain aspects of existing standards. The exposure draft on the rate-regulated activities project – a more comprehensive project but limited in impact as it is industry-specific – was delayed by almost a year and is now expected to be published in early 2021.

As part of its active research agenda, the IASB’s core model for dynamic risk management and discussion paper on business combinations under common control are expected in late 2020, while the comment period on the discussion paper on goodwill and impairment was extended to December 2020. The IASB is currently considering the direction on the projects on financial instruments with characteristics of equity and extractive activities. Although these technically complex but important projects are taking longer than expected, we encourage the IASB to continue its work as they deal with issues that have been the source of many accounting questions.

The IASB expects to publish, in late 2020, its request for information on the PostImplementation Review of IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements , IFRS 11 –Joint Arrangements – and IFRS 12 – Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities . The Interpretations Committee has often discussed requests regarding the interpretation of IFRS 11 and it seems likely that the Post-Implementation Review will similarly give rise to questions from constituents.

Bettercommunicationandsustainabilityreporting

The IASB continues to work on the various aspects of its Better Communication in Financial Reporting initiative, such as the primary financial statements, management commentary and the taxonomy. The project to update the Management Commentary Practice Statement, for which an exposure draft is expected early in 2021, is seen by the

IASB as the cornerstone of the notion of ‘broader financial information’. That said, there is an ongoing debate as to how ‘broad’ annual reporting, and by extension the IASB’s own remit, should be.

In November 2019, Hans Hoogervorst, the Chairman of the IASB, noted in a speech that ‘The popularity of non-GAAP has risen sharply and there is growing interest in broader reporting, particularly in the area of sustainability. […] In the light of these developments, the IASB constantly asks itself how it can strengthen the relevance of IFRS Standards in this changing world.’ 1 Sue Lloyd, the Vice-Chair of the IASB, noted in December 2019 that ‘[…] the IASB exists to write Standards that result in investors getting the information they need to make their investment decisions. We know that in order to make informed investment decisions, investors need information that goes beyond the boundaries of that captured within the traditional financial statements. Investors need information about items that are not recognised and measured for accounting purposes, but that can affect the company’s future cash flows and the value of its equity.’ 2

Many of the non-financial issues that interest investors can be characterised as externalities, which are commonly defined as consequences of an industrial or commercial activity that affect other parties without being reflected in market prices. Traditional financial reporting has focused on how companies are affected by externalities that are inflicted upon them (i.e. the investor perspective), but far less on how their actions affect others (i.e. the societal perspective). In addressing these considerations, the IASB faces the challenge that it does not have the breadth of expertise that would allow it to cover the entire field of non-financial reporting and that its resources are limited.

In September 2020, Erik Thedéen, the Chair of IOSCO's Task Force on Sustainable Finance, noted in a speech that IOSCO is engaging with two initiatives that ‘are both very interesting and very promising’. 3 Firstly, an alliance of five framework- and standard-setting institutions of international significance – CDP, the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) – announced a commitment to working towards a comprehensive corporate reporting system. Secondly, a working group of IFRS trustees is considering what role the IFRS Foundation can play in setting standards for sustainability reporting. The Trustees of the IFRS Foundation published a consultation paper on sustainability reporting to assess if there is sufficient demand for global sustainability standards and, if so, whether the development of a sustainability standards board under the governance structure of the IFRS Foundation would be an appropriate approach to achieving further consistency and global comparability in sustainability reporting.

2 Speech by Sue Lloyd, 9 December 2019 (Enhancing relevance in 2020 and beyond). IFRS Foundation website: http://www.ifrs.org/news-and-events/2019/12/enhancing-relevance-in-2020-and-beyond/

3 Speech by Erik Thedéen, 1 October 2020 (speech at the conference Driving Global Standards on Sustainable Finance). Swedish Finansinspektionen website: https://www.fi.se/en/published/presentations/2020/erikthedeens-speech-at-driving-global-standards-on-sustainable-finance/

We commend the initiative of the Trustees of the IFRS Foundation in taking an active role in the efforts to improve the broader financial report, as non-financial reporting provides important information that allows users to put the financial statements in context and helps them in assessing future risks and opportunities. In addition to IOSCO, the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) has also expressed support for the creation of a new sustainability standards board that would exist alongside the IASB under the IFRS Foundation. However, as legislators in some jurisdictions have already taken steps to ensure a minimum level of communication about sustainability issues, we believe it is crucial in the interest of broad acceptance to build as broad a base of support as possible.

This edition of International GAAP® covers the many interpretations, practices and solutions that have now been developed based on our work with clients, and discussions with regulators, standard-setters and other professionals. In particular, the edition has been revised to consider the many financial reporting issues that have arisen in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. We believe that InternationalGAAP®, now in its sixteenth edition, plays an important role in ensuring consistent application of IFRS and helping companies as they address emerging issues (e.g. interest rate benchmark reform, application of IFRS 16 and implementation of IFRS 17). These issues are complex and give rise to many practical questions about the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements.

Our team of authors and reviewers hails from all parts of the world and includes not only our global technical experts but also senior client-facing professionals. This gives us an in-depth knowledge of practice in many different countries and industry sectors, enabling us to go beyond mere recitation of the requirements of standards to explaining their application in many varied situations.

We are deeply indebted to many of our colleagues within the global organisation of EY for their selfless assistance and support in the publication of this book. It has been a truly international effort, with valuable contributions from EY people around the globe.

Our thanks go particularly to those who reviewed and edited the drafts, most notably: Elisa Alfieri, Mark Barton, Christian Baur, Paul Beswick, Silke Blaschke, Linzi Carr, Patrick Cavanagh, Larissa Clark, Tony Clifford, Angela Covic, Josh Forgione, Peter Gittens, Archibald Groenewald, Paul Hebditch, Lara Iob, Guy Jones, Steinar Kvifte, Michiel van der Lof, James Luke, Kerri Madden, Mark Mahar, Fernando Marticorena, John Offenbacher, John O’Grady, Christiana Panayidou, Pierre Phan Van Phi, Christoph Piesbergen, George Prieksaitis, Takeshi Saida, Gerard van Santen, Nicola Sawaki, Rachel Simons, Alison Spivey, Leo van der Tas, Daniel Trotman, Hans van der Veen, Tracey Waring, Arne Weber, Clare Wong and Luci Wright.

Our thanks also go to everyone who directly or indirectly contributed to the book’s creation, including the following members of EY’s IFRS desks: Thato Lengana, Steve Mwereria, Teresia Ng’ang’a, Anna Pickup and Tanay Rai.

We also thank Jeremy Gugenheim for his assistance with the production technology throughout the period of writing.
