CLERP = Corporate Law Economic Reform Program Federal Government program, commenced in 1997 and still running Wide ranging reforms. Major changes to date include: changes to the development and application of accounting standards in Australia. establishment of the FRC and FRP reformed auditing practices Need for accounting regulation Separation of ownership from control especially via the corporate structure. Different stakeholders have different interests. Need for reporting by agents to owners Need for protection of owners and creditors investments Increasing complexity of financial transactions and size of organisations Regulation achieved via legislation or professional pronouncements including: Corporations Act Accounting Standards 4
5 Setting AASB Standards Accounting regulation Financial Reporting Council (FRC) Oversees AASB Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) Responsible for: development of the conceptual framework formulating accounting standards in accordance with the Corporations Act formulating accounting standards for other purposes (eg public and not-for-profit sectors) Accounting regulation Key objectives of developing accounting standards include: 1. To facilitate the development of accounting standards that require the provision of financial information that is relevant, reliable, understandable d and facilitates t comparability 2. To facilitate the Australian economy by reducing the cost of capital, thus enabling Australian entities to compete effectively overseas 3. Maintaining investor confidence in the Australian economy and capital markets 5
6 AASB Accounting Standards In line with these objectives, for financial reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005, Australia adopted accounting standards and financial reporting standards issued by the International ti Accounting Standards Board (IASB) AASB Accounting Standards Australian accounting standards are identical to their international equivalents, with two exceptions: 1. Some AASBs require more detailed disclosures than their international equivalents 2. AASBs contain additional paragraphs relevant to not-for-profit entities Originally optional treatments were not allowed in AASB standards, but this limitation has now been removed. AASB Accounting Standards As a result of adopting international standards there are now three sources of AASB standards: AASB 1-99 AASB AASB
7 AASB Accounting Standards AASB 1-99 AASB equivalents to IFRS standards issued by the IASB (A-IFRS) Have same number as their equivalent IASB standards IFRS 2 > AASB 2 Share-Based Payment AASB Accounting Standards AASB AASB equivalents to IAS standards of the IASC before it was replaced by the IASB in 2001 Have the same number (+100) as the amended older IAS standards on which they are based IAS 16 > AASB 116 Property, Plant & Equipment AASB Accounting Standards AASB Australian standards with no international equivalents Have same number as in previous AASB standard AASB 1031 Materiality 7
8 Accounting Regulation International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) Independent, privately funded accounting standard setter Committed to the development of a single set of high quality, enforceable global accounting standards Why was it important for Australia to adopt IFRS? Ruth Picker Managing Partner Ernst & Young Melbourne Accounting Regulation Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) US Accounting Standards body Currently involved in a joint project with the IASB working towards converged US and international standards 8
9 Accounting Regulation International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) Sub-committee of the IASB Considers issues of widespread importance not covered in IFRS standards IFRIC interpretations are adapted by the AASB to suit the Australian environment Urgent Issues Group (UIG) Now disbanded Previously issued UIG consensus views still applicable AASB 1048 Interpretations and Applications of Standards requires adherence What is IFRIC? Ruth Picker Managing Partner Ernst & Young Melbourne Corporate regulators Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Administers Corporations Act Monitors implementation of the Act and investigates and prosecutes for breaches of the Act Promotes confidence with the financial system Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Administers Listing Rules Played a major role in influencing the move towards the AASBs adoption of IASB standards 9
10 Corporate regulators Financial Reporting Panel (FRP) Established in 2006 under CLERP9 Function is to resolve disputes between ASIC and companies concerning accounting treatments in financial reports General Purpose Financial Reports (GPFRs) A financial report intended to meet the information needs common to users who are unable to command the preparation of reports tailored so as to satisfy, specifically, all of their information needs i.e. dependent users GPFRs allow management and governing bodies to discharge their accountability All reporting entities must prepare GPFRs and must comply with all accounting standards Public companies and large proprietary companies are deemed to be reporting entities Reporting entity concept A reporting entity is an entity in respect of which it is reasonable to expect the existence of users dependent on general-purpose financial reports for information useful for making and evaluating decisions about the allocation of scarce resources Defined in SAC1 Definition of the Reporting Entity Classes of users are set out in The Framework (Note 1) 10
11 Reporting entity concept Non-reporting entities are not required to prepare GPFRs They may be required to prepare Special Purpose Financial Reports (SPFR) for specific users eg a shareholder or bank. Reduced disclosure regime (RDR) In 2010 AASB 1053 Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards was issued. Introduces two tiers of reporting: Tier 1 publicly accountable entities; and Tier 2 all other preparers of GPFRs Introduces a reduce disclosure regime for Tier 2 entities. Tier 2 entities will be required to apply recognition, measurement and presentation requirements with substantially reduced disclosures. Reduced disclosure regime (RDR) Application date is for financial reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2013, although early adoption is permitted. Non reporting entities will continue to be excluded from the requirements to prepare a GPFR, but may still need to prepare a SPFR. 11
