IFRS CONVERSION ISSUES

72

Business and organisational considerations IFRS impact beyond financial statements


Most aspects of the business can be affected: Processes and systems Operations Tax Treasury
The adoption of IFRS affects more than a companys accounting policies, processes, and people. Ultimately, most aspects of a companys business and operations are affected potentially.

Examples include impact on: Debt covenants Compensation plans Revenue contracts Joint ventures and alliances Investor communication

IFRS Implementation Issues


Treasury Management
Hedge Accounting Investments

Valuation
Fair valuation approach Fair valuation methodologies

Distribution
2010-11 profit will change Dividend policy

Investor relations
Changes in EPS EU experience

Debt Covenants
IAS 1 requirements

ORGANISATION
IT Systems
Disclosures (IFRS 7) Hedge accounting Data collection

Mergers & Acquisitions


Control Goodwill Capital reserve IFRS 1 option

HR
Training Revised CTC

Management Compensation MIS


Increased volatility Fluctuations outside control Fair value adjustment ESOP fair value Targets not achievable Director remuneration Investors

Tax Implication
Fair value adjustment Most item will flow through P & L

Potential business issues


Some of the key business issues that will need to be addressed for successful implementation:
Treasury management Distributions Debt covenants & financing Mergers & acquisitions Management compensation Potential tax implications Management information Human resources & training IT systems Investor relations
75

Potential business issues


Treasury management
Certain financing and hedging policies will no longer achieve the desired accounting effect, will instead create volatility in reported profits Challenge have to find good economic strategies that will produce right accounting treatment

Distributions
Equity will change current dividend policy may no longer be sustainable Altered dividend patterns may directly impact the share price
76

Potential business Issues


Debt covenants & financing
Where debt covenants do not provide for changes in accounting standards, changes to financial position may cause these covenants to be breached Impact companys ability to ensure continuity of financing arrangements When seeking to raise finance, comparative figures may need to apply IFRS as well

Mergers & acquisitions


Accounting for potential acquisitions will be altered by the adoption of IFRS Goodwill => become non-amortised Past mergers/acquisitions may contain clauses including price revisions based on accounting data

77

Potential business issues


Management compensation
Fair value of share options and other incentive plans shall be recognised Additional cost to company Any adjustment to a directors remunerations scheme is a sensitive issue Careful management of investor relations is essential

78

Potential business issues


Potential tax implications Definition of taxable profits, follow accounting rules?

Major accounting principles adopted:

Mark-to-market basis for valuation Flow through P&L accounts for most items Both unrealized gains and loss will appear in profit and loss account
Items may cause material impact:

Financial instruments Share-based payments Investment properties Income taxes Revenue recognition
79

Potential business issues


Management information
Forecasts and internal performance measurements may no longer be comparable with results reported in FS (eg fair value change) Making forecast more difficult

Human resources & training


Training will be required throughout the organization, but not just for finance dept Existing skills may not be adequate to tackle IFRS related issues need to be supplemented externally or by recruitment

80

Potential business issues


IT systems
Systems that will be affected: internal and external reporting systems, accounting systems and operating systems E.g. new accounting treatments for financial instruments may require treasury systems to be integrated with financial reporting system

81

Potential business issues


Investor relations
May challenge the changes in profits and EPS Investors will form their own expectation on new accounting policies and expect certain accounting outcomes Nobody likes surprises
