IFRS Literacy: Understanding the New Financial Statements

New rules for financial statement users

With the transition to International Financial Reporting Standards in Canada, accountants, financial analysts and advisors, corporate finance professionals, institutional and individual investors and other financial statement users will need to re-educate themselves in understanding and interpreting financial statements issued by public companies.

Under IFRS traditional performance measures such as key financial ratios or income measures have the potential to change simply due to changes in accounting figures. In the UK for example, when their transition to IFRS occurred, some companies went from a profit to a loss position and vice versa, simply due to changes in accounting rules, rather than performance.

Description and explanation of how financial statements will change under IFRS

IFRS Literacy: Understanding the New Financial Statements provides a description and explanation of how financial statements will change under IFRS, along with valuable expert analysis and insight into true financial statement literacy in the post-IFRS transition market. The content of this work focuses on practical application and analysis of IFRS-based statements, drawing upon actual examples from both the Canadian and international financial markets. In its electronic subscription format, this content is updatable and fully searchable.

IFRS Impact highlights key differences under previous Canadian GAAP

Each chapter includes highlighted comments on the impact of IFRS on particular financial statement items. This commentary feature highlights key differences of financial statements prepared under IFRS from those issued under previous Canadian GAAP, noting common changes in accounting policies, amounts, disclosures and presentation. Extracts from published financial statements illustrate these differences.

Unique Canadian perspective for Canadian readers

IFRS Literacy: Understanding the New Financial Statements provides a unique Canadian perspective for Canadian readers, and is designed to appeal to a broad cross-section of financial statement users, including accountants, financial analysts and advisors, corporate finance professionals, and institutional and individual investors.

Topical coverage includes:

  • Basic Building Blocks of Financial Statements
  • Values and Limitations of Key Performance Ratios
  • Assessing Risk and Measurement Uncertainties
  • Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)
  • Identifying "good" companies and fairly-priced stocks
  • Specific impacts of transition to IFRS

U.S. Master Depreciation Guide (2015)

Offers tax and accounting professionals who work with businesses a one-stop resource for guidance in understanding and applying the complex depreciation rules to their fixed assets. This area is especially challenging, because bits and pieces of applicable information must be gathered from a maze of Revenue Procedures, IRS Tables and IRS Regulations. These sources are frequently old and include some materials which may be non-applicable. CCH's U.S. Master Depreciation Guide pulls the pieces together, so practitioners can make sense of all the corresponding information and put the information into practice.

Published annually, this new edition is completely updated to reflect all depreciation rule changes through press time in December. A special Highlights section provides a quick overview of any new legislation, cases, rulings, and regulations occurring since last year's edition, with cross-references to the explanation paragraph in which they are reflected.

The Guide presents a concise yet comprehensive discussion of the depreciation rules. It includes:

  • Discussion of the historical background of depreciation and depreciation fundamentals.
  • Coverage of :
  1. Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), which was introduced by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and is applicable to most tangible depreciable property in service after 1986;
  2. Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) introduced by the Economic Recovery Act of 1981;
  3. General rules for pre-1981 property;
  4. Asset Depreciation Range (ADR) system which dates back to 1971;
  5. Code Sec. 179 expensing rules; and
  6. Amortization of intangibles, including section 197 intangibles.
____
The Guide also discusses accounting method changes required to comply with recently issued MACRS regulations dealing with general assets accounts and dispositions, including retirements of structural components. A handy reference chart of these changes is provided.

Other highlights include:
  • Listed property depreciation rules
  • Depreciation of vehicles subject to "luxury" car caps
  • Handling vehicle trade-ins, including luxury car caps and carryover basis
  • Vehicle depreciation using the standard mileage rate, FAVR allowances, and other mileage based methods

U.S. Master Depreciation Guide (2014)

Offers tax and accounting professionals who work with businesses a one-stop resource for guidance in understanding and applying the complex depreciation rules to their fixed assets. This area is especially challenging, because bits and pieces of applicable information must be gathered from a maze of Revenue Procedures, IRS Tables and IRS Regulations. These sources are frequently old and include some materials which may be non-applicable. This book pulls the pieces together, so practitioners can make sense of all the corresponding information and put the information into practice.

Published annually, this new edition is completely updated to reflect all depreciation rule changes through press time in December. A special Highlights section provides a quick overview of any new legislation, cases, rulings, and regulations occurring since last year's edition, with cross-references to the explanation paragraph in which they are reflected.

The Guide presents a concise yet comprehensive discussion of the depreciation rules. It includes:
  • Discussion of the historical background of depreciation and depreciation fundamentals.
  • Coverage of :
    1. Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), which was introduced by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and is applicable to most tangible depreciable property in service after 1986;
    2. Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) introduced by the Economic Recovery Act of 1981;
    3. General rules for pre-1981 property;
    4. Asset Depreciation Range (ADR) system since 1971;
    5. Code Sec. 179 expensing rules; and
    6. Amortization of intangibles, including section 197 intangibles.
