hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo watch the video
[15]
till the end also if you are new to this channel then you can subscribe us by

clicking the bell icon friends today we're going to learn a concept which is known
[24]
IFRS versus Indian gaap now Indian gap has also transformed themselves to
[31]
the international standards which they call it as India's so you can say that
[37]
you know Indian gaap is has almost converged themselves to IFRS but
[42]
there are some cow out sand carvings which is basically some of the
[45]
differences in some of the similarities which they have created so again I would
[49]
say yeah Indian gap has re-transform themselves into ifrs but not
[54]
exactly what it is so let's learn the difference I mean if you are just
[59]
starting out on in accounting it would be very difficult for you to understand
[63]
the difference between IFRS as an Indian gaap you know the full form of
[68]
IFRS is international financial reporting standard this is basically the
[78]
full form of IFRS now it was prepared and updated by IASB that is the
[85]
International Accounting standard board it is basically a non-profit and
[89]
independent organization so IFRS as is used in inclusion of 210 countries
[95]
around the globe and it is one of the most popular
[99]
accounting standard on the other hand if you see the Indian gaap if you see the
[106]
Indian gaap well it is a set of the accounting
[110]
standard that are specifically designed for the Indian context alright and you
[116]
have standards for GAAP that is he generally accepted accounting principles
[120]
so most income means follow the gaap while preparing their accounting records
[126]
so when a company follows IFRS it needs to provide a disclosure in the
[133]
form of unknown that you know it's it's complying with the IFRS but for
[139]
Indian gaap the disclosure of the statement isn't actually mandatory in in
[144]
in that scenario so you can say that when a company is say to follow the
[151]
Indian gaap it's assumed that they are complying with the Indian gaap to portray
[154]
the true and the fair view of the financial affairs now let's understand
[161]
the difference between IFRS as an Indian gap with the help of the
[164]
infographics the first and the foremost difference is the meaning of the
[170]
abbreviation IFRS is what we just learned International Financial
[175]
Reporting Standards so let's break this it is followed in 112 countries it is
[182]
basically used for interpreting your financial statement with some set
[187]
shutter calls and to report such financial those are the standards that
[192]
have been prepared Indian gaap is basically the Indian version of
[196]
generally accepted principle nowadays it is known as the end yes
[202]
it's called as the India's the second point of difference who has exactly
[206]
developed this the IFRS is developed by the International Accounting Standards
[211]
Board that is known as the IASB but when we talk about the Indian gaap it has been
[217]
prepared by the Ministry of the Corporate Affairs who also handles the
[221]
Companies Act 2013 so this are the two bodies who have actually developed and
[229]
they have tried to integrate all these standards are in the most efficient
[235]
manner the third is the disclosure if you see for the IFRS is a company
[242]
that is complying with IFRS needs to disclose a note that that their
[247]
financial statement complies with IFRS us we just learned over in my excel
[252]
sheet that for IFRS you need to show on note shore disclosure but in Indian GAAP
[259]
it's not mandatory when a company say to follow an Indian gap it is assumed that
[264]
it is complying a true and fair view of the financial
[269]
effect so there is no compliance or there is no mandatory thing in Indian
[274]
GAAP to actually disclose that you are following the Indian gaap so this is the
[279]
disclosure part of the difference now let's see who exactly adopts or who or
[284]
adopted by whom I mean see companies in 110 countries around the globe have
[291]
adopted the IFRS so that is a really big number in itself because in when we
[296]
are talking in terms of countries as you can see more and more countries also
[299]
making the shift to IFRS because it is actually a set standard which is quite
[307]
efficient enough to report your financial statement in the most possible
[313]
way that the users can interpret and the Indian gaap is only adopted by the Indian
[318]
company so this is like you know standardized form that has been prepared
[322]
for the inning gap or for the Indian companies itself the Indian gap is
[326]
prepared so that's the big difference now how to adopt it for the first time
[332]
see IFRS want towards the clear instruction on how to adopt the IFRS
[338]
is for the first time this is the standard IFRS number one is a
[342]
standard an Indian gaap does not give any clear instructions of the first time
[345]
adoption so there is no a set of protocols that they have defined in
[351]
Indian gaap that you know what should be done for the first time or the the
[355]
people who have just started with the inception level so that's the difference
[359]
now the usage of currencies in the presentation if you talk about IFRS when
[364]
the financial statements are not presented in the functional currency
[367]
which is the original currency then the assets in the a parties of the balance
[372]
sheets are transferred or transmitted by the exchange rate okay so you will be
[378]
converting all those number if you are not showing in the functional currency
[381]
then you will be converting that into that currency which has been used by you
[384]
but in case of the Indian gaap there is no question of using exchange rate
[388]
because asset it has been followed for by only the Indian companies it the
[392]
Indian gap is used by only the Indian companies in itself so there is no point
[397]
of a currency over here now this is called the CFS the
[402]
consolidated financial statement let me make you understand what kind of
[405]
financial statements are there is called the standalone and there is another
[410]
thing that's called consolidated financial statement right so standalone
[417]
is basically from the word itself you can make out that you know if you have a
[421]
company which is just a subsidiary or let's say which is one segment so you
[427]
are reporting them as one single financial statement but over here if you
[433]
have let's say two subsidiary and let's say you have a four tooth or let's say
[442]
three jv's that is a joint ventures you have to associate companies then you'll
[448]
and and there is one holding company because if you without one holding
[454]
company this three can't be possible right so when you combine all of this
[459]
you get a consolidated financial statement so this is a standalone
[462]
reporting and this is the consolidation of all this so that's the difference now
[467]
if we talk about the IFRS if the companies don't come under the exemption
[471]
criteria mention in IS 27 the companies need to prepare the
[475]
consolidated financial statements so there is a protocol the rule that has
[480]
been or the standard that provides in is 27 in peritonitis say that if you are
[484]
not covered within the exemption then you actually need to prepare the
[488]
consolidated financial statement and there are some set of criteria
[492]
which defines the exemption for not reporting in terms of the CFS the
[497]
consolidated financial statement is prepared basically the financial
[503]
statement the individual that is a standalone financial statement and there
[507]
is no requirement of preparing the consolidated statements so it is
[512]
actually discretionary now what financial statement needs to be prepared
[516]
so that's the 8 point what are the financial statements that needs to be
[520]
prepared in IFRS as the company follows needs to prepare the balance sheet
[524]
income statement and the which is also known as the comprehensive income so
[529]
remember one thing there are different types of
[533]
statements that we prepare the balance sheet which everyone knows there is one
[538]
income statement and there is one more thing that's called the cash flow
[543]
statement so in Indian companies following Indian
[547]
GAAP needs to prepare the balance sheet profit and loss account and the cash
[551]
flow statement so the one thing which is not over here in the Indian GAAP is the
[555]
cash flow statement I hope you have got a clear idea of difference between the
[559]
IFRS in the Indian GAAP so that's it for this particular topic if you have
