IFRS 10
|
Consolidated Financial Statements
|
IFRS 10 replaces the guidance on ‘consolidation’ in IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) 12 - Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. The new standard contains a single consolidation model that identifies control as the basis for consolidation for all types of entities, including special purpose entities. The new standard also sets out requirements for situations when control is difficult to assess, including circumstances in which voting rights are not the dominant factor in determining control.
|
|
IFRS 11
|
Joint Arrangements
|
IFRS 11 replaces the guidance on ‘joint ventures’ in IAS 31 - Interests in Joint Ventures, and SIC 13 - Jointly Controlled Entities - Non-Monetary Contributions by Ventures. The new standard introduces a principles-based approach to accounting for joint arrangements that requires a party to a joint arrangement to recognize its rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. The new standard requires that joint ventures be accounted for under the equity method and eliminates the option to proportionally consolidate.
|
|
IAS 27
|
Separate Financial Statements
|
IAS 27 has been amended for the issuance of IFRS 10, but retains the current guidance for separate financial statements.
|
|
IAS 28
|
Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
|
IAS 28 has been amended for conforming changes based on the issuance of IFRS 10 and IFRS 11. The amendment requires that where a joint arrangement is determined to be a joint venture under IFRS 11, it should be accounted for using the equity method guidance provided in this standard.
|
IFRS 7
|
Financial Instruments: Disclosures
|
IFRS 7 has been amended to provide common disclosure requirements with U.S. GAAP about rights of offset and related arrangements for financial statements under an enforceable master netting or similar arrangement.
|
|
IFRS 12
|
Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
|
IFRS 12 sets out the required disclosures for entities applying IFRS 10, 11 and IAS 28 (as amended in 2011). The new standard combines, enhances and replaces the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, associates, joint arrangements and unconsolidated structured entities.
|
|
IFRS 13
|
Fair Value Measurement
|
IFRS 13 defines 'fair value' and sets out in a single standard a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The new standard reduces complexity and improves consistency by clarifying the definition of fair value and requiring its application to all fair value measurements.
|
|
2009 – 2011 Cycle
|
Annual Improvements to IFRSs
|
The Annual Improvements to IFRSs for the 2009 – 2011 Cycle (“Annual Improvements”) make non-urgent but necessary amendments to several IFRSs. Among several changes, the Annual Improvements: (a) amend IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, to clarify the classification of servicing equipment; (b) amend IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation, to clarify the treatment of income tax relating to distributions and transaction costs; and (c) amend IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, to clarify the disclosure requirements for segment assets and liabilities in interim financial statements.
|
IAS 32
|
Financial Instruments: Presentation - effective January 1, 2014
|
IAS 32 has been amended to clarify certain requirements for offsetting financial assets and liabilities. The amendment addresses the meaning and application of the concepts of legally enforceable right of set-off and simultaneous realization and settlement. IAS 32 relates to presentation and disclosures and is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s results and financial position.
|
|
IFRS 7
|
Financial Instruments: Disclosures - effective January 1, 2015
|
IFRS 7 has been amended to require disclosures that are either permitted or required on the basis of the entity’s date of adoption of IFRS 9 and whether the entity elects to restate prior periods under IFRS 9. IFRS 7 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s results and financial position.
|
|
IFRS 9
|
Financial Instruments (Classification and Measurement) - effective January 1, 2015
|
IFRS 9 replaces the guidance on ‘classification and measurement’ of financial instruments in IAS 39 - Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement. The new standard requires a consistent approach to the classification of financial assets and replaces the numerous categories of financial assets in IAS 39 with two categories, measured at either amortized cost or at fair value. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the IAS 39 requirements, but where the fair value option is taken, the part of a fair value change due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the income statement, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. IFRS 9 is being assessed to determine its impact on the Company’s results and financial position.
