CHAPTER 10

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
1. INTRODUCTION TO ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 Accounting Standards (ASs) are written policy documents issued by expert
accounting body or by government or other regulatory body covering the
aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of accounting
transactions in the financial statements.
 Accounting Standards reduce the accounting alternatives in the preparation of
financial statements

2. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS DEALS WITH:


 Recognition of events and transactions in the financial statements,
 Measurement of these transactions and events,
 Presentation of these transactions and events in the financial statements in a
manner that is meaningful and understandable to the reader
 Disclosure of transactions and other events: Accounting standards also deal
with the manner of disclosure of transactions and other events in the financial
statements.
 THUS, AS helps in improving the quality of financial reporting by promoting
comparability, consistency and transparency, in the interests of users of
financial statements.

3. NEED OF ACCOUNTING STATNDARD


(a) Improvement of credibility and reliability of financial statements:
AS increase confidence among the users of accounting information by providing a
uniform structure of uniform guidelines which provide credibility and reliability
to the accounting information. So that, financial statements present a true and
fair view of the financial position and financial performance of an entity.
(b) Comparability of financial Statements made easy:
Comparability is possible only if the same accounting standards are used in the
preparation of the financial statements of the different enterprises in the same
industry. Due to this value of the accounting information is enhanced.
(c) Benefits to the accountants and auditors:
AS provide a basis for the uniform accounting principles. Hence, there is a less
possibility of frauds being committed by the accountant. There is more
transparency in the accounting information. AS are helpful not only to the
accounting entity but also to the accountants and the auditors.
(d) Additional disclosures: Certain important areas are not required to be disclosed
by the law. The AS require the disclosure of such matters such as the method of
depreciation and the change in the method of depreciation which help the users
of the financial statements to take important financial decision.
(e) Evaluation of the managerial ability: Accounting standards are useful in
measuring the efficiency of the management regarding profitability, liquidity,
solvency and other general areas of progress of the enterprise.
(f) Helpful to the Government: The Government officials would find the financial
information useful for economic planning, market analysis and tax collection if the
financial statements are based on the established accounting standards.

8. OVERVIEW OF ACCOUNTING STANDARD


CA CS Harish A
AS Deals with Details
AS 1 Disclosure of Accounting policies are the specific accounting principles and
Accounting the methods of applying those principles adopted by an
Policies enterprise in the preparation and presentation of financial
statements. All significant accounting policies should be
disclosed. Such disclosure form part of financial statements. All
disclosures should be made at one place. Specific disclosure for
the adoption of fundamental accounting assumptions is not
required. Disclosure of accounting policies cannot remedy a

wrong or inappropriate treatment of the item in the accounts.
AS 2 Valuation of A primary issue in accounting for inventories is the
Inventories determination of the value at which inventories are carried in
the financial statements until the related revenues are
recognized. This Standard deals with the determination of such
value, including the ascertainment of cost of inventories and any
write-down thereof to net realizable value.
Inventories should be valued at the lower of cost and net
realizable value. The cost of inventories should comprise- All
costs of purchase
(a) Costs of conversion
(b) Other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their
present location and condition.
AS 3 Cash Flow The Standard deals with the provision of information about the
Statements historical changes in cash and cash equivalents of an enterprise
by means of a cash flow statement which classifies cash flows
during the period from operating, investing and financing
activities. An enterprise should prepare a cash flow statement
and should present it for each period for which financial
statements are presented. Cash Flows are inflows and outflows
of cash and cash equivalents.
Cash Flow Statement represents the cash flows during the
specified period by operating, investing and financing activities.
AS 4 Contingencies This Standard deals with the treatment in financial statements
and Events of:
Occurring (a) contingencies, and
After the
(b) Events occurring after the balance sheet date.
Balance
Sheet Date A contingency is a condition or situation, the ultimate outcome
of which, gain or loss, will be known or determined only on the
occurrence, or non-occurrence, of one or more uncertain future
events.
Events occurring after the balance sheet date are those
significant events, both favourable and unfavourable, that occur
between the balance sheet date and the date on which the
financial statements are approved by the Board of Directors in
the case of a company, and by the corresponding approving
authority in the case of any other entity.
AS 5 Net Profit or The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the classification
Loss for the and disclosure of certain items in the statement of profit and
Period, Prior loss so that all enterprises prepare and present such a
Period Items statement on a uniform basis. This enhances the comparability
of the financial statements of an enterprise over time and with
and Changes
the financial statements of other enterprises. Accordingly, this
in Accounting Standard requires the classification and disclosure of
Policies extraordinary and prior period items, and the disclosure of
certain items within profit or loss from ordinary activities. It
also specifies the accounting treatment for changes in
accounting estimates and the disclosures to be made in the
financial statements regarding changes in accounting policies.
This Standard should be applied by an enterprise in presenting
profit or loss from ordinary activities, extraordinary items and
prior period items in the statement of profit and loss, in
accounting for changes in accounting estimates, and in
Excel Educational Institute CS- Executive – Corporate Accounts Page 10.6
Website: www.exceledu.co.in Contact us: 09926821000, 0771409530
disclosure of changes in accounting policies.
AS 7 Construction The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting
Contracts treatment of revenue and costs associated with construction
contracts. Because of the nature of the activity undertaken in
construction contracts, the date at which the contract activity
is entered into and the date when the activity is completed
usually fall into different accounting periods. Therefore, the
primary issue in accounting for construction contracts is the
allocation of contract revenue and contract costs to the
accounting periods in which construction work is performed.
This Standard uses the recognition criteria established in the
Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial
Statements to determine when contract revenue and contract
costs should be recognised as revenue and expenses in the
statement of profit and loss. It also provides practical guidance
on the application of these criteria.
This Standard should be applied in accounting for construction
contracts in the financial statements of contractors.
A construction contract is a contract specifically negotiated for
the construction of an asset or a combination of assets that are
closely interrelated or interdependent in terms of their design,
technology and function or their ultimate purpose or use.
AS 9 Revenue This Standard deals with the bases for recognition of revenue in
Recognition the statement of profit and loss of an enterprise. The Standard is
concerned with the recognition of revenue arising in the
course of the ordinary activities of the enterprise from:
(a) the sale of goods,
(b) the rendering of services, and
(c) the use by others of enterprise resources yielding interest,
royalties and dividends.
Revenue is the gross inflow of cash, receivables or other
consideration arising in the course of the ordinary activities of
an enterprise from the sale of goods, from the rendering of
services, and from the use by others of enterprise resources
yielding interest, royalties and dividends. Revenue is measured by
the charges made to customers or clients for goods supplied and
services rendered to them and by the charges and rewards arising
from the use of resources by them. In an agency relationship,
the revenue is the amount of commission and not the gross
inflow of cash, receivables or other consideration.
AS 10 Property, Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that are held for
Plant and use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to
Equipment other or for administrative services. The objective of this AS is to
prescribe the accounting treatment for property, plant and
equipment. The principal issues in accounting for property, plant
and equipment are the recognition of the assets, determination of
their carrying amounts and depreciation charges and recognition
of impairment losses in relation to them. Under this AS, property,
plant and equipment are initially recognized at cost, subsequently
measured by using either cost model or revaluation model and
depreciated so that its depreciable amount is allocated on a
systematic basis over its useful life.
AS 11 The Effects of An enterprise may carry on activities involving foreign exchange in

Excel Educational Institute CS- Executive – Corporate Accounts Page 10.7


Website: www.exceledu.co.in Contact us: 09926821000, 0771409530
Changes in two ways. It may have transactions in foreign currencies or it may
Foreign have foreign operations. In order to include foreign currency
Exchange transactions and foreign operations in the financial statements
Rates of an enterprise, transactions must be expressed in the
enterprise’s reporting currency and the financial statements of
foreign operations must be translated into the enterprise’s
reporting currency.
This Standard should be applied:
(a) in accounting for transactions in foreign currencies; and
(b) in translating the financial statements of foreign
operations
AS 12 Accounting This Standard deals with accounting for Government Grants.
for Government grants are sometimes called by other names such as
C
Government subsidies, cash incentives, duty drawbacks, etc.
Grants Government grants are assistance by government in cash or kind to
an enterprise for past or future compliance with certain
conditions. They exclude those forms of government assistance
which cannot reasonably have a value placed upon them and
transactions with government which cannot be distinguished
from the normal trading transactions of the enterprise.
The receipt of government grants by an enterprise is significant for
preparation of the financial statements for two reasons.
Firstly, if a government grant has been received, an appropriate
method of accounting therefor is necessary. Secondly, it is
desirable to give an indication of the extent to which the
enterprise has benefited from such grant during the reporting
period. This facilitates comparison of an enterprise’s financial
statements with those of prior periods and with those of other
enterprises.
AS 13 Accounting This Standard deals with accounting for investments in the
for financial statements of enterprises and related disclosure
Investments requirements.
Investments are assets held by an enterprise for earning income by
way of dividends, interest, and rentals, for capital appreciation,
or for other benefits to the investing enterprise. Assets held as
stock-in-trade are not ‘investments’.
Enterprises hold investments for diverse reasons. For some
enterprises, investment activity is a significant element of
operations, and assessment of the performance of the enterprise
may largely, or solely, depend on the reported results of this
activity.
An enterprise should disclose current investments and long term
investments distinctly in its financial statements. Further
classification of current and long-term investments should be as
specified in the statute governing the enterprise. In the absence
of a statutory requirement, such further classification should
disclose, where applicable, investments in:
(a) Government or Trust securities
(b) Shares, debentures or bonds
(c) Investment properties
(d) Others-specifying nature.

AS 14 Accounting for This standard deals with accounting for amalgamations and the
Amalgamations treatment of any resultant goodwill or reserves. This standard is
directed principally to companies although some of its
requirements also apply to financial statements of other
enterprises.
According to this Standard, amalgamation means an
amalgamation pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act,
2013 or any other statute which may be applicable to companies. An
amalgamation may be either –
(a) an amalgamation in the nature of merger, or
(b) an amalgamation in the nature of purchase.
AS 15 Employee The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting and
Benefits disclosure for employee benefits. The Standard requires an
enterprise to recognise:
 a liability when an employee has provided service in
exchange for employee benefits to be paid in the future;
and
 an expense when the enterprise consumes the economic
benefit arising from service provided by an employee in
exchange for employee benefits.
Employee benefits are all forms of consideration given by an
enterprise in exchange for service rendered by employees.
AS 16 Borrowing The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting
Costs treatment for borrowing costs.
Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred by an
enterprise in connection with the borrowing of funds. Borrowing
costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of a qualifying asset should be
capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. The amount of
borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation should be determined in
accordance with this Standard. Other borrowing costs should be
recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
The financial statements should disclose:
(a) the accounting policy adopted for borrowing costs; and
(b) the amount of borrowing costs capitalised during the period.
AS 17 Segment The objective of this Standard is to establish principles for
Reporting reporting financial information, about the different types of
products and services an enterprise produces and the different
geographical areas in which it operates. Such information helps
users of financial statements:
(a) better understand the performance of the enterprise;
(b) better assess the risks and returns of the enterprise; and
(c) make more informed judgements about the enterprise as a
whole.
If a single financial report contains both consolidated financial
statements and the separate financial statements of the parent,
segment information need be presented only on the basis of the
consolidated financial statements.
In the context of reporting of segment information in
consolidated financial statements, the references in this

Excel Educational Institute CS- Executive – Corporate Accounts Page 10.9


Website: www.exceledu.co.in Contact us: 09926821000, 0771409530
Standard to any financial statement items should construed to be
the relevant item as appearing in the consolidated financial
statements.
AS 18 Related Party The objective of this Standard is to establish requirements for
Disclosures disclosure of:
 related party relationships; and
 transactions between a reporting enterprise and its related
parties.
This Standard should be applied in reporting related party
relationships and transactions between a reporting enterprise
and its related parties. The requirements of this Standard apply to
the financial statements of each reporting enterprise as also to
consolidated financial statements presented by a holding
company.
AS 19 Leases The objective of this Standard is to prescribe, for lessees and
lessors, the appropriate accounting policies and disclosures in
relation to finance leases and operating leases. This Standard
should be applied in accounting for all leases other than:
 lease agreements to explore for or use natural resources, such
as oil, gas, timber, metals and other mineral rights;
 licensing agreements for items such as motion picture films,
video recordings, plays, manuscripts, patents and copyrights; and
 lease agreements to use lands.
AS 20 Earnings per The objective of this Standard is to prescribe principles for the
Share 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 Standard is on the
denominator of the earnings per share calculation. Even though
earnings per share data has limitations because of different
accounting policies used for determining ‘earnings’, a consistently
determined denominator enhances the quality of financial
reporting.
This Standard should be applied by all companies. However, a
Small and Medium Sized Company, as defined in the Notification
may not disclose diluted earnings per share (both including and
excluding extraordinary items).
In consolidated financial statements, the information required by
this Statement should be presented on the basis of
consolidated information.
AS 21 Consolidated The objective of this Standard is to lay down principles and
Financial procedures for preparation and presentation of consolidated
Statements financial statements. Consolidated financial statements are
presented by a parent (also known as holding enterprise) to
provide financial information about the economic activities of
its group. These statements are intended to present financial
information about a parent and its subsidiary (i.es) as a single
economic entity to show the economic resources controlled by
the group, the obligations of the group and results the group
achieves with its resources.
This Standard should be applied in the preparation and
presentation of consolidated financial statements for a group of

Excel Educational Institute CS- Executive – Corporate Accounts Page 10.10


Website: www.exceledu.co.in Contact us: 09926821000, 0771409530
enterprises under the control of a parent.
This Standard should also be applied in accounting for
investments in subsidiaries in the separate financial statements of
a parent.
AS 22 Accounting The objective of this Standard is to prescribe accounting
for Taxes on treatment for taxes on income. Taxes on income is one of the
Income significant items in the statement of profit and loss of an
enterprise. In accordance with the matching concept, taxes on
income are accrued in the same period as the revenue and
expenses to which they relate. Matching of such taxes against
revenue for a period poses special problems arising from the fact
that in a number of cases, taxable income may be significantly
different from the accounting income. This divergence between
taxable income and accounting income arises due to two main
reasons. Firstly, there are differences between items of revenue
and expenses as appearing in the statement of profit and loss and
the items which are considered as revenue, expenses or deductions
for tax purposes. Secondly, there are differences between the
amount in respect of a particular item of revenue or expense as
recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
This Standard should be applied in accounting for taxes on
income. This includes the determination of the amount of the
expense or saving related to taxes on income in respect of an
accounting period and the disclosure of such an amount in the
financial statements.
AS 23 Accounting The objective of this Standard is to set out principles and
for procedures for recognising, in the consolidated financial
Investments in statements, the effects of the investments in associates on the
Associates in financial position and operating results of a group.
Consolidated This Standard should be applied in accounting for investments in
Financial associates in the preparation and presentation of consolidated
Statements financial statements by an investor.

AS 24 Discontinuing The objective of this Standard is to establish principles for


Operations reporting information about discontinuing operations, thereby
enhancing the ability of users of financial statements to make
projections of an enterprise’s cash flows, earnings-generating
capacity, and financial position by segregating information
about discontinuing operations from information
about continuing operations.
This Standard applies to all discontinuing operations of an
enterprise.
The requirements related to cash flow statement contained in
this Standard are applicable where an enterprise prepares and
presents a cash flow statement.
AS 25 Interim The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the minimum
Financial content of an interim financial report and to prescribe the
Reporting principles for recognition and measurement in complete or
condensed financial statements for an interim period. Timely
and reliable interim financial reporting improves the ability of
investors, creditors, and others to understand an enterprise’s
capacity to generate earnings and cash flows, its financial
condition and liquidity.
This Standard does not mandate which enterprises should be

Excel Educational Institute CS- Executive – Corporate Accounts Page 10.11


Website: www.exceledu.co.in Contact us: 09926821000, 0771409530
required to present interim financial reports, how frequently, or
how soon after the end of an interim period. If an enterprise is
required or elects to prepare and present an interim financial
report, it should comply with this Standard.
AS 26 Intangible The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting
Assets treatment for intangible assets that are not dealt with
specifically in another Accounting Standard. This Standard
requires an enterprise to recognise an intangible asset if, and
only if, certain criteria are met. The Standard also specifies how
to measure the carrying amount of intangible assets and
requires certain disclosures about intangible assets.
This Standard should be applied by all enterprises in accounting
for intangible assets, except:
(a) intangible assets that are covered by another Accounting
Standard;
(b) financial assets;
(c) mineral rights and expenditure on the exploration for, or
development and extraction of, minerals, oil, natural gas
and similar non-regenerative resources; and
(d) intangible assets arising in insurance enterprises from
contracts with policyholders.
An intangible asset should be recognised if, and only if:
(a) it is probable that the future economic benefits that are
attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise; and
(b) the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
An enterprise should assess the probability of future economic
benefits using reasonable and supportable assumptions that
represent best estimate of the set of economic conditions that
will exist over the useful life of the asset.
AS 27 Financial The objective of this Standard is to set out principles and
Reporting of procedures for accounting for interests in joint ventures and
Interests in reporting of joint venture assets, liabilities, income and expenses
Joint in the financial statements of venturers and investors. This
Standard should be applied in accounting for interests in joint
Ventures
ventures and the reporting of joint venture assets, liabilities,
income and expenses in the financial statements of venturers
and investors, regardless of the structures or forms under which
the joint venture activities take place.
AS 28 Impairment The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the procedures
of Assets that an enterprise applies to ensure that its assets are carried
at no more than their recoverable amount. An asset is carried at
more than its recoverable amount if its carrying amount
exceeds the amount to be recovered through use or sale of the
asset. If this is the case, the asset is described as impaired and
this Standard requires the enterprise to recognise an impairment
loss. This Standard also specifies when an enterprise should reverse
an impairment loss and it prescribes certain disclosures for
impaired assets.
This Standard should be applied in accounting for the impairment
of all assets, other than:
(a) inventories (see AS 2, Valuation of Inventories);

Excel Educational Institute CS- Executive – Corporate Accounts Page 10.12


Website: www.exceledu.co.in Contact us: 09926821000, 0771409530
(b) assets arising from construction contracts (see AS 7,
Construction Contracts);
(c) financial assets, including investments that are included
in the scope of AS 13, Accounting for Investments; and deferred
tax assets (see AS 22, Accounting for Taxes on Income).
AS 29 Provisions, The objective of this Standard is to ensure that appropriate
Contingent recognition criteria and measurement bases are applied to
Liabilities & provisions and contingent liabilities and that sufficient
Contingent information is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements
to enable users to understand their nature, timing and amount.
Assets
The objective of this Standard is also to lay down appropriate
accounting for contingent assets.
This Standard should be applied in accounting for provisions and
contingent liabilities and in dealing with contingent assets,
except:
(a) those resulting from financial instruments that are
carried at fair value;
(b) those resulting from executory contracts, except where the
contract is onerous;
(c) those arising in insurance enterprises from contracts with
policyholders; and
(d) Those covered by another Accounting Standard.

At present, there are two sets


of Accounting Standards

Accounting Standard (ASs). India Accounting Standard (Ind As).


As-1 to As-5, as-7 and As-9 to As-29 Ind As 1 to 41 & IND AS 101 to IND AS 116

9. NEED FOR CONVERGENCE WITH GLOBAL STANDARDS


 As each country has its own set of rules and regulations for accounting and
financial reporting. Therefore, when an enterprise decides to raise capital from
the markets other than home country, the rules and regulations of that other
country apply.
 International analysts and investors would like to compare financial statements
based on similar Accounting Standards. Harmonization will help to raise
confidence of investors generally in information they are using to make their
decisions & assess their risks.
 Strong need was felt by legislation to bring about uniformity, rationalization,

interest. If accounting for the same events and information produces different
reported numbers, it creates confusion, encourages error and facilitates fraud.
 The cure for these ills is to have a single set of global standards, of the highest
quality, set in the interest of public.
 Convergence of financial reporting & Accounting Standards is valuable process
that contributes to free flow of global investment & achieves substantial
benefits for all capital market stakeholders. It improves ability of investors to
compare investments on global basis & thus lowers their risk of errors of
judgment.
RGENCE & INTERPRETATION OF IFRS & ACCOUNTING STANDARDS IN INDIA
Objective of International Accounting Standards: to improve & harmonize reporting
around the world
1. To formulate and publish international accounting standards
2. To promote their worldwide acceptance and observation.
3. To develop in public interest understandable and enforceable global accounting
standards that require high quality, transparent and comparable information in
financial statements.
4. To promote the use and rigorous application of those standards.
5. To bring about convergence of national accounting standards & international
accounting standards.
Reason: Non-acceptability of international Accounting Standards
 Accounting practices in different countries are different, whenever multinational
company have different way working than national company.
 Worldwide contradictions of views have been noticed in the national
standard setting bodies and international bodies.
 This require harmonization for evolving uniform accounting standard for
world wide application.
 These are the basic reason for non-acceptability of International Accounting
Standard throughout the world.

12. INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IRSF)


 The world is getting smaller, globalization has made it possible to accept the
world as one market.
 Due to single set of accounting requirements would increase the comparability of
different entities.
 This is the reason for more than 120 countries to follow global accounting
standards i.e. IFRS
 For any communication language must be the same.
 This problem had overcome by introduction of common set of standards
known as Accounting Standards.
 In order to ensure transparency, consistency, comparability, adequacy and
reliability of financial reporting, it is essential to standardize the accounting
principles and policies.ing Standards
 Accounting standards are written policy documents issued by expert accounting
body or by government or other regulatory body covering the aspects of
recognition, measurement, treatment, presentation and disclosure of
accounting transactions in the financial statements.
 Every country has its own set of local accounting standards for recognition,
measurement, presentation & disclosure of financial statement.
Excel Educational Institute CS- Executive – Corporate Accounts Page 10.14
Website: www.exceledu.co.in Contact us: 09926821000, 0771409530
 In India, local standards are known as Accounting Standards (AS) issued by
Accounting Standard Board (ASB) in consultation with Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (ICAI).
 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs): IFRSs refers to the entire
body of IASB pronouncements, including standards and interpretations approved
by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) & IASs and SIC
interpretations approved by the predecessor International Accounting Standards
Committee (IASC) (IFRS are AS of the World)

The Accounting Standards (AS) issued by ICAI are prepared on the basis of the Indian
environment, while IFRS are prepared by considering the global environment as a
whole.
The Indian environment and Global environment are different which leads to a huge
gap between AS issued by ICAI & IFRS issued by IASB. So as to bridge the gap between AS
& IFRS, ICAI issued Ind AS converged with IFRS (formally known as Ind. AS)
Convergence of Indian Accounting Standards (IAS) with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) (Roadmap for convergence)
 Convergence of its Ind ASs (Indian GAAP) with IFRS in a phased manner.
 Initial roadmap was to achieve convergence in three phases starting April 2011 and
ending April 2014, it could not be implemented due to various reasons.
 A revised roadmap for implementation of Ind ASs (Ind.. AS) finalized by the council
of the ICAI.
 As stated in earlier roadmaps for achieving convergence, there shall be two
separate sets of Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956.
 First set would comprise the Indian Accounting Standards converged with the
IFRSs which shall be applicable for preparation of consolidated financial
statements as defined in the Companies Act, 2013, of the specified class of
companies.
 Second set would comprise the existing notified Accounting Standards (AS) and
shall be applicable for preparation of Individual financial statements of the
companies preparing consolidated financial statement as per Ind. AS and for
financial statement of other companies.
 As per the roadmap, the first set of Accounting Standards i.e. converged Indian
Accounting Standards (Ind. AS) shall be applied to the following specified class of
companies for preparing their first Indian Accounting Standards (Ind.. AS)
consolidated financial statements for the accounting period beginning on or
after 1st April, 2016, with comparatives for the year ending 31st March 2016 or
thereafter.

Excel Educational Institute CS- Executive – Corporate Accounts Page 10.21


Website: www.exceledu.co.in Contact us: 09926821000, 0771409530
The parties are bound by a contractual arrangement.

returns from the performance of the other entity. An interest in
another entity can be evidenced by, but is not limited to, the
holding of equity or debt instruments as well as other forms of
involvement such as provision of funding, liquidity support, credit
enhancement and guarantees. It includes other means by which

customer supplier relationship.
Ind AS Fair Value This Ind AS:
113 Measurement (a) defines fair value;

(b) sets out in a single Ind AS a framework for measuring fair


value; and
(c) requires disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is a market – based measurement, not an entity-
specific measurement. For some assets and liabilities, observable
market transactions or market information might be available. For
other assets and liabilities, observable market transactions and
market information might not be available. However, the objective
of a fair value measurement in both cases is the same-to estimate
the price at which an orderly liability would take place between
market participants at the measurement date under current
market condition (i.e. an exit price at the measurement date from
the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or
owes the liability).
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell on asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the
market participants at the measurement date.

A regulatory deferral account balance is a regulatory asset or a
Excel Educational Institute CS- Executive – Corporate Accounts Page 10.22
Website: www.exceledu.co.in Contact us: 09926821000, 0771409530
regulatory liability as defined in the Guidance Note on Accounting
for Rate regulated activities. Rate regulated activities are the
entity’s activities that are subject to rate regulation.
Ind AS Revenue The objective of this Standard is to establish the principles that
115 from an entity shall apply to report useful information to users of
Contracts financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and
with uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with
a customer.
Customers

increases in economic benefits during the accounting period in
the form of inflows or enhancements of assets or decreases of
liabilities that result in increases in equity, other than the
contributions from equity participants.
Ind AS Leases The objective of this Ind AS is to set out the principles for
116 recognition, measurement, presentation of disclosure of leases so
that the lessees and lessors provide the relevant information in a
manner that faithfully represent those transactions.This
information gives a basis for users of financial statements to
assess the effect that leases have on the financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of an entity.
To apply this standard, an entity shall consider the terms and
conditions of contracts and all relevant facts and circumstances.
An entity shall apply this Standard consistently to contracts
with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances.
A lease is a contract, or part of a contract that conveys the right
to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in
exchange for consideration.
Ind AS Presentation This Standard prescribes the basis for presentation of general
1 of Financial purpose financial statements to ensure comparability both with
Statements the entity’s financial statements of previous periods and with the
financial statements of other entities. It sets out overall
requirements for the presentation of financial statements,
guidelines for their structure and minimum requirements for their
contents.
An entity shall apply this Standard in preparing and presenting
general purpose financial Statements in accordance with Ind AS.
General purpose financial statements are those financial
statements that are intended to meet the needs of users who are
not in a position to require an entity to prepare reports tailored
to their particular information needs.
Ind AS Inventories The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting
2 treatment for inventories. A primary issue in accounting for
inventories is the amount of cost to be recognized as an asset and
carried forward until the related revenues are recognized. This
Standard deals with the determination of cost and its subsequent
recognition as an expense, including any write-down to net
realizable value. It also deals with the cost formulas that are used
to assign costs to inventories.
entories are assets:
held for sale in the ordinary course of business;
in the process of production for such sale; or

Excel Educational Institute CS- Executive – Corporate Accounts Page 10.23


Website: www.exceledu.co.in Contact us: 09926821000, 0771409530
in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the
production process or in the rendering of services.
Ind AS Statement of Information about the cash flows of an entity is useful in providing
7 Cash Flows users of financial statements with a basis to assess the ability of
CA CS the entity to generate cash and cash equivalents and the needs
of the entity to utilize those cash flows. The economic decisions
that are taken by users require an evaluation of the ability of an
entity to generate cash and cash equivalents and the timing and
certainty of their generation. The objective of this Standard is to
require the provision of information about the historical changes
in cash and cash equivalents of an entity by means of a statement
of cash flows which classifies cash flows during the period from
operating, investing and financing activities.
An entity shall prepare a statement of cash flows in accordance
with the requirements of this Standard and shall present it as an
integral part of its financial statements for each period for
which financial statements are presented.
A statement showing cash flows is called a Statement of Cash
Flows. Cash flows are the inflows and outflows of cash and cash
equivalents. Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits.
Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Ind AS Accounting The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the criteria for
8 Policies, selecting and changing accounting policies, together with the
Changes in accounting treatment and disclosure of changes in accounting
Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and corrections of

Estimates
reliability of an entity’s financial statements and the
and Errors comparability of those financial statements over time and with
the financial statements of other entities. Disclosure requirements
for accounting policies, except those for changes in accounting
policies, are set out in Ind AS 1 Presentation of Financial
Statements.
This Standard shall be applied in selecting and applying accounting
policies, and accounting for changes in accounting policies,
changes in accounting estimates and corrections of prior period
errors.
Accounting policies are the specific principles, bases,
conventions, rules and practices applied by an entity in preparing
and presenting financial statements. A change in an accounting
estimate is the adjustment in the carrying amount of an asset or
a liability, or the amount of the periodic consumption of an asset
that results from the assessment of the present status of, and
expected future benefits and obligations with the asset or
liability. Changes in accounting estimates result from new
estimates or new developments, and accordingly are not
correction of errors.
Ind AS Events after The objective of this Standard is to prescribe:
10 the Reporting (a) When an entity should adjust its financial statements for events
Period after the reporting period; and
(b) the disclosures that an entity should give about the date when
the financial statements were approved for issue and about
events after the reporting period.

Excel Educational Institute CS- Executive – Corporate Accounts Page 10.24


Website: www.exceledu.co.in Contact us: 09926821000, 0771409530
The Standard also requires that an entity should not prepare its
financial statements on a going concern basis if events after the
reporting period indicate that the going concern assumption is
not appropriate.
This Standard shall be applied in the accounting for, and
disclosure of, events after the reporting period. Events after the
reporting period are those events, favourable and unfavourable,
that occurs between the end of the reporting period and that
date when the financial statements are approved by the Board of
directors in the case of a company and by the corresponding
approving authority in the case of any other entity for issue.
Ind AS Income Taxes The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting
12 treatment for income tax. The principal issue in accounting for
income tax is how to account for the current and future tax
consequences of:
(a) the future recovery (settlement) of the carrying amount of
assets (liabilities) that are recognized in an entity’s balance
sheet; and
(b) transactions and other events of the current period that
are recognized in an entity’s financial statements.
It is inherent in the recognition of an asset or liability that the
reporting entity expects to recover or settle the carrying amount
of that asset or liability. If it is probable that recovery or
settlement of that carrying amount will make future tax
payments larger (smaller) than they would be if such recovery or
settlement were to have no tax consequences. This Standard
requires an entity to recognize a deferred tax liability (deferred
tax asset), with certain limited exceptions.
Ind AS Property, The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting
16 Plant and treatment for property, plant and equipment so that users of the
Equipment financial statements can discern information about an entity’s
investment in its property, plant and equipment and the changes
in such investment. The principal issues in accounting for property,
plant and equipment are the recognition of the assets, the
determination of their carrying amounts, and the depreciation
charges and impairment losses to be recognized in relation to
them.
This Standard shall be applied in accounting for property, plant
and equipment except when another Standard requires or permits
a different accounting treatment.
Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that:
(a) are held for use in the production or supply of goods or
services, for rental to others or for administrative purposes;
and
(b) are expected to be used during more than one period.
Ind AS Employee The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting
19 Benefits and disclosure for employee benefits. The Standard requires an
entity to recognize:
(a) a liability when an employee has provided service in
exchange for employee benefits to be paid in the future;
and
(b) an expense when the entity consumes the economic

Website: www.exceledu.co.in Contact us: 09926821000, 0771409530
benefit arising from the service provided by an employee in
exchange for employee benefits.
Employee benefits are all forms of consideration given by an entity
in exchange for service rendered by employees or for the
termination of employment.
Ind AS Accounting This Standard shall be applied in accounting for, and in the
20 for disclosure of, government grants and in the disclosure of other
Government forms of government assistance.
Grants and This Standard does not deal with:
Disclosure of (a) the special problems arising in accounting for government
Government grants in financial statements reflecting the effects of
Assistance changing prices or in supplementary information of a
similar nature.
(b) Government assistance that is provided for an entity in the
form of benefits that are available in determining taxable
profit or tax loss, or are determined or limited on the basis
of income tax liability. Examples of such benefits are income
tax holidays, investment tax credits, accelerated
depreciation.
(c) Government participation in the ownership of the entity.
(d) Government grants covered by Ind AS-41, Agriculture.
(e) Government assistance is action by government designed to
provide an economic benefit specific to an entity or range
of entities qualifying under certain criteria. Government
assistance does not include benefits provided only indirectly
through actions affecting general trading conditions, such
as the provision of infrastructure in development areas or
the imposition of trading constraints on the
competitors. Government grants are assistance by
government in the form of transfer of resources to an
entity in return for past or future compliance with
certain conditions relating to the operating activities of
the entity. Government grants exclude those forms of
government assistance which cannot reasonably have a
value placed upon them and transactions with the
government which cannot be distinguished from the
trading transactions of the entity.
Ind AS The Effects An entity may carry on foreign activities in two ways. It may have
21 of Changes transactions in foreign currencies or it may have foreign
in Foreign operations. In addition, an entity may present its financial
Exchange statements in a foreign currency. The objective of this Standard
is to prescribe how to include foreign currency transactions and
Rates
foreign operations in the financial statements of an entity and
how to translate financial statements into a presentation
currency.
The principal issues are which exchange rate(s) to use and how to
report the effects of changes in exchange rates in the financial
statements.
Ind AS Borrowing Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition,
23 Costs construction or production of a qualifying asset form part of the
cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognized as an
expense.
An entity shall apply this Standard in accounting for borrowing
Excel Educational Institute CS- Executive – Corporate Accounts Page 10.26
Website: www.exceledu.co.in Contact us: 09926821000, 0771409530
costs.
The Standard does not deal with the actual or imputed cost of
equity, including preferred capital not classified as a liability.
An entity is not required to apply the Standard to borrowing costs
directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of:
(a) a qualifying asset measured at a fair value, for example, a
biological asset; or
(b) Inventories that are manufactured or otherwise produced,
in large quantities on a repetitive basis.
Ind AS Related Party The objective of this Standard is to ensure that an entity’s
24 Disclosures financial statements contain the disclosures necessary to draw
attention to the possibility that its financial position and profit
or loss may have been affected by the existence of related
parties and by transactions and outstanding balances, including
commitments, with such parties.
This Standard shall be applied in:
(a) identifying related party relationships and transactions;
(b) identifying outstanding balances, including commitments,
between an entity and its related parties;
(c) identifying the circumstances in which disclosure of the
items in (a) and (b) is required; and
(d) Determining the disclosures to be made about those items.
A related party is a person or entity that is related to the entity
preparing its financial statements. A related party transaction is
a transfer of resources, services or obligations between a
reporting entity and a related party regardless of whether the
price is charged.
Ind AS Separate The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting and
27 Financial disclosure requirements for investments in subsidiaries, joint
CA CS Statements ventures and associates when an entity prepares separate
Harish financial statements.
This Standard shall be applied in accounting for investments in
subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates when an entity elects,
or is required by law, to present separate financial statements.
This Standard does not mandate which entities produce separate
financial statements. It applies when an entity prepares separate
financial statements that comply with Ind ASs.
Separate financial statements are those presented by a parent
(i.e. an investor with control of a subsidiary) or an investor with
joint control of, or significant influence over, an investee, in which
the investments are accounted for at cost or as per Ind AS 9
“Financial Instruments”.
Ind AS Investments The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting for
28 in Associates investments in associates and to set out the requirements for the
and Joint application of the equity method when accounting for investments
Ventures in associates and joint ventures.
This Standard shall be applied by all entities that are investors
with joint control of, or significant influence over, an investee.
An associate is an entity over which the investor has significant
influence. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the

parties that have the joint control of the arrangement has rights
to the net assets of the arrangement.
Ind AS Financial This Standard shall be applied to the financial statements,
29 Reporting in including the CFS of any entity whose functional currency is the
Hyperinflation currency of a hyperinflationary economy.
ary Economies In a hyperinflationary economy, reporting of operating results and
financial position in the local currency without restatement is
not useful. Money loses purchasing power at such a rate that
comparison of amounts from transactions and other events that
have occurred at different times, even within the same accounting
period, is misleading.
Ind AS Financial The objective of this Standard is to establish principles for
32 Instruments: presenting financial instruments as liabilities or equity and for
Presentation offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities. It applies to the
classification of financial instruments, from the perspective of
the issuer, into financial assets, financial liabilities and equity
instruments; the classification of related interest, dividends,
losses and gains; and the circumstances in which financial assets
and financial liabilities should be offset.
The principles in this Standard complement the principles for
recognising and measuring financial assets and financial liabilities
In Ind AS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement,
and for disclosing information about them in Ind AS 107 Financial
Instruments: Disclosures.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a
financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or an equity
instrument of another entity.
Ind AS Earnings per The objective of this Standard is to prescribe principles for the
33 Share determination and presentation of earnings per share, so as to
improve performance comparisons between different entities in
the same reporting period and between different reporting
periods for the same entity. Even though earnings per share data
have limitations because of the different accounting policies that
may be used form determining ‘earnings’, a consistently
determined denominator enhances financial reporting. The focus
of this Standard is on the denominator of the earnings per share
calculation.
An entity shall calculate basic earnings per share amounts for
profit or loss attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the
parent entity and, if presented, profit or loss from continuing
operations attributable to those equity holders. Basic earnings
per share shall be calculated by dividing profit or loss
attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the parent entity
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
during the period.
An entity shall calculate diluted earnings per share amounts for
profit or loss attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the
parent entity and, if presented, profit or loss from continuing
operations attributable to those equity holders. For the purpose
of calculating diluted earnings per share, an entity shall adjust
profit or loss attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the
parent entity and weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the period, from the effects of all dilutive
potential ordinary shares.

Ind AS Interim The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the minimum
34 Financial content of an interim financial report and to prescribe the
Reporting principles for recognition and measurement in complete or
condensed financial statements for an interim period. Timely and
reliable interim financial reporting improves the ability of
investors, creditors, and others to understand an entity’s
capacity to generate earnings and cash flow and its financial
condition and liquidity.
Interim financial report is a financial report containing either a
complete set of financial statements or a set of condensed
financial statements for an interim period. An interim period is a
financial reporting period shorter than a full financial year.
Ind AS Impairment The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the procedures that
36 of Assets an entity applies to ensure that its assets are carried at no more
than their recoverable amount. An asset is carried at more than
its recoverable amount if its carrying amount exceeds the amount
to be recovered through use or sale of the asset. If this is the
case, the asset is described as impaired and the Standard
requires the entity to recognize an impairment loss. The Standard
also specifies when an entity should reverse an impairment loss
and prescribes disclosures.
An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of
an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable
amount. Carrying amount is the amount at which an asset is
reocgnized after deducting any accumulated depreciation
(amortization) and any accumulated impairment losses thereon. A
cash generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets
that generates cash flows that are largely independent of the
cash inflows from other assets or group of assets.
Ind AS Provisions, The objective of this Standard is to ensure that appropriate
37 Contingent recognition criteria and measurement bases are applied to
Liabilities provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets and that
and sufficient information is disclosed in the notes to enable users to
understand their nature, timing and amount.
Contingent
Assets A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount. A
contingent liability is:
(a) a possible obligation that arises from past events and
whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence
or non- occurrence of one or more uncertain events not
wholly within the control of the entity; or
(b) a present obligation that arises from past events but is not
reocgnized because:
(i) it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation;
or
(ii) the amount of obligation cannot be measured with
sufficient reliability.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past
events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain events
not wholly within the control of the entity.
Ind AS Intangible The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting
38 Assets treatment for intangible assets that are not dealt with

Excel Educational Institute CS- Executive – Corporate Accounts Page 10.29


Website: www.exceledu.co.in Contact us: 09926821000, 0771409530
specifically in another Standard. This Standard requires an entity
to recognize an intangible asset if, and only if, specified criteria
are met. The Standard also specifies how to measure the
carrying amount of intangible assets and requires specified
disclosures about intangible assets.
An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without
physical substance. Monetary assets are money held and assets to
be received in fixed or determinable amount of money. An
intangible asset to be identifiable should be distinguishable from
goodwill. An asset is identifiable if it either:
(a) is separable, i.e., is capable of being separated or dividend
from the entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or
exchanged either individually or together with a related
contract, identifiable asset or liability, regardless of whether
the entity intends to do so; or
(b) arises from contractual or other legal rights, regardless of
whether those rights are transferrable or separable form the
entity or from other rights and obligations.
Ind AS Investment The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting
40 Property treatment for investment property and related disclosure
requirements.
This Standard shall be applied in the recognition, measurement
and disclosure of investment property.
Among other things, this Standard applies to the measurement in
a lessee’s financial statements of investment property interests
held under a lease accounted for as a finance lease and to the
measurement in a lessor’s financial statements of investment
property provided to a lessee under an operating lease. This
Standard does not deal with matters covered in Ind AS 17 Leases,
including:
(a) classification of leases as finance leases or operating leases;
(b) recognition of lease income from investment property (see
also Ind AS 18 Revenue);
(c) measurement in a lessee’s financial statements of property
interests held under a lease accounted for as an operating
lease;
(d) Measurement in a lessor’s financial statements of its
net investment;
(e) accounting for sale and lease back transactions; and
(f) disclosure about finance leases and operating leases.
Investment property is a property (i.e. land or a building or
part of a building or both) held (by the owner or a lessee as a
right of use asset) to earn rentals, or for capital
appreciation, or both rather than for:
(a) use in the production or supply of goods or serviced or for
administrative purposes; or
(b) sale in the ordinary course of business.
CInd AS Agriculture The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting
41 treatment and disclosures related to agricultural activity. This
Standard shall be applied to account for the following when they

Excel Educational Institute CS- Executive – Corporate Accounts Page 10.30


Website: www.exceledu.co.in Contact us: 09926821000, 0771409530
relate to agricultural activity:
(a) biological assets;
(b) agricultural produce at the point of harvest; and
(c) Government grants covered by paragraphs 34 and 35.
Agricultural activity is the management by an entity of
the biological transformation and harvest of biological
assets for sale or for conversion into agricultural produce
or into additional biological assets. Agricultural produce is
the harvested produce of the entity’s biological asset. A
biological asset is a living animal or plant. Biological
transformation comprises the processes of growth,
degeneration, production, and procreation that cause
qualitative or quantitative changes in a biological asset.
