Note 4 emphasizes where such differences could arise. As also Marek mentioned, I was also wondering why does the Committee not take a clear position (or maybe I was not able to identify it). They mention that differences may arise, but they do not explicitly state that they only support one view of ...

Thank you exIFRS Maybe I used the word approach incorectly, and should have used the word "view". I understand that there are two views on how to account for non-refundable VAT, explained on page 12-17. I understand that even if there is little diversity in accounting for non-refundable VA...

Regarding this topic, it it seems that different approaches are applied regarding non-refundable VAT. See the last item on the agenda and the attached paper with the discussion.

Yes you are right, I was too quick with my reply .

Thank you. This is helpful. I noticed that they presented it retrospectively.

Yes, you are right. It is just that I have not heard about it nor seen it in practice yet.

This is interesting about recognising the goodwill in separate financial statements.

Thank you very much Marek.

Yes, let´s assume it is. I presume that the goodwill will still remain in the consolidated FS, or am I wrong? I couldn´t find anything specific on this issue. I had a look at the DP issued by IASB, but such a case is not mentioned.

Hello everyone, I have a question. In a scenario where a wholly -owned subisidiary is merged into its parent, it is my understanding that such transaction is outside the scope of IFRS 3. Is the difference between the investment in sub and the merged assets and liablities recognised in equity in the ...

For example, Apple ist the most valued brand (according to Forbes, worth $241.2 B) but, as already stated in one of the previous posts, it cannot be recognized as an asset on the company´s balance sheet.

You can also try with opentuition. Financial accounting course could be helpful in your case. I am of the opinion that it is always benefical to have a solid background and then build on it . Then you can continue with FR and SBR.

The ressource page is a great idea

I find the webinars and e - learning sections on the BDO Page also useful.

@ Marek. Please remove if irrelevant.

Thank you both for your input, and thanks Marek for sharing your response. I fully agree with your response, especially with the part about cancellable leases and the fact that often both parties need to consent to extend the lease term. IMO, technically speaking, the lease term would then be the co...

This topic is explained in the knowledge base:

https://ifrscommunity.com/knowledge-base/deferred-tax/

Let´s assume that the company has a leased property (HQ building) with unlimited lease term (evergreen lease), and let´s also asume that the term is defined based on the horison of the strategic planning: 5 years. At which point in time would it be necessary to reassess the lease term?

It makes sense to me. Thank you.

Right , otherwise it would undermine the reasoning of recognising the preference shares as equity I guess.

Thank you Marek . I was surprised how complex this topic could be.

Last clarification: Would the fixed cumulative dividends not be recognised in SOFP, provided that the preference shares are entiteled to a yearly fixed dividend?

I thought that dividends will accrue over time... @ Marek I would maybe also add "where preference shares that are ireedimable and payment of dividends is at the discretion of the issuer" would be classified as equity. To have the whole picture. Thank you all so much for your help on this ...

one additional question,
How is the term liquidation interpreted in this case? Would this explanation be equally applied in the case of selling the company?

I found an interesting explanation from IASB DP/2018/1 about FICE "One classification outcome that would change as a result of the articulation of the second feature is that of irredeemable fixed-rate cumulative preference shares (see paragraph 3.23(c)). IAS 32 classifies such cumulative prefer...

Thanks for clarifying

@ Marek. I think IAS 32 16C is only applicable to puttable instruments as I understand and would not apply in this case IMO.

@ Marek: This was my first thought about the accounting treatment, and that´s why I wrote that it was all clear yesterday. BUT after reading the aditional posts I am not sure about whether the fact that the payment can be postponed let´s say until liquidation makes the dividends non-discretional bec...

I agree with exIFRS. Joint control exists inly if decisions about relevant activities are taken unanimously (in your example it seems that in an event of a deadlock your party can be outvoted). Examples of relevant activities are listed in IFRS10.B11.

If the only condition is that the dividend only has to be paid before the ordinary shareholders get a dividend it is deemed to be discretionary But what if the terms are that preference shares are entiteled to an annual fixed dividend. In my view such dividend is non-discretional, the issuer has no...

Apparently, there is still room for discussion :-) @ JRSB that is a valid point. @exIFRS “I had come across the same document when looking at this, but it hinges on the dividend being "non-discretionary" which is not necessarily the same as cumulative?” Which part of dividends do you refer...

Thank you both for your help .
Everything is clear now.

I think this should probably be reflected in the higher discount rate, which would then have as the outcome the calculation of the liability and equity component.

Thank you Marek. Will have a look at it. Another thing came into my mind. What if in the case of liquidation the shareholders of preference shares receive their original investmet first, and thereafter they receive the residual on a pro rata share. So this part is similar to regular shares. Any idea...
