Re: IAS 37 Loan commitments
Hi, I think that the only “provision” results from expected credit losses (ECL) under IFRS 9. The provision under IAS 37 should be recognised only if the contract with customer becomes onerous, but in most cases I think that ECL provision should be enough. ECL are recognised as an expense. Off-balan...

Re: IFRS 16 - lease incentives
Hi, an interesting case! I would recognise them as a one-off credit to profit or loss. There is no basis to defer their recognition in P/L in my opinion. What do you think?

Re: Property in director /shareholder name be shown as asset of limited company
As I understand it, a limited company should be separate from its owner when it comes to assets and liabilities. Let's think about it this way: if you were to prepare two sets of financial statements : 1/ of the owner and 2/ of the entity - where would you show this property as an asset and why? Who...

Re: Property in director /shareholder name be shown as asset of limited company
No, the mere fact that the cash flows go through an entity does not mean control, even when taking substance over form. Important IFRS question here is whether the entity (taken separately from its owner) has the ability to direct the use of the property.

Re: Property in director /shareholder name be shown as asset of limited company
Hi, this is unusual, normally there should be a clear distinction between assets of a limited company and their owners. If the entity has no legal/ contractual right to the property, I would say that the entity does not control the property. How can the entity direct the significant activities relat...

Re: Reimursement vs income
So I understand that the letting agent decides what needs to be repaired, by whom and for what price. The letting agent also directs the work of subcontractors? If so, the letting agent is a principal in my opinion.

Re: Purchase of land to be given to a proposed company in exchange for shares
Hi, investments in JV were then accounted for under IAS 31, now under IFRS 11. Initial recognition is at cost. The only judgement I see here is the question of whether the land was already transferred to JV at the reporting date. Mehranmichail wrote that JV was not even properly incorporated, so it’...

Re: Accounting for bank account opened by estate agent for depositing tenants rent and paying out to lanlords
Cash is a financial asset for sure. The question here was whose asset it was. But I'm pretty sure that the agent should recognise cash assets from what you've written.

Re: IFRS 9 fair value of interest-free concessional sovereign loans
Sure, fair value does not have to be based on quoted prices in this case.

But calculation of the appropriate discount rate will still be a challenge.

Re: Accounting for bank account opened by estate agent for depositing tenants rent and paying out to lanlords
Hi, I agree with you, point 1. makes it clear to me that the money on this bank account should be recognised as an asset of the agent. We can consider two scenarios to explore this further: 1/ Tenants made their transfers to this bank account, but the bank goes bankrupt and the agent did not manage ...

No, you need to carefully read the references in this paragraph.

So it refers to (a)(i) ONLY and (a...

Re: Purchase of land to be given to a proposed company in exchange for shares
Maybe the agreement for purchase of the land was structured so that it was never an asset of the reporting entity. Well, it seems we need much more information about so-called facts and circumstances if you’d like to discuss it.

Hi
I would say that as an asset held for sale under IFRS 5, based on paragraphs IFRS 5.11 and IFRS 5.10.
What was your conclusion?

Re: Accounting treatment of receipts of real estate agent
I agree with your analysis. The intermediate lessor clearly acts as a principal in this transaction. If it accounts for the head lease using the practical expedient for short-term leases, then the sublease is an operating lease (IFRS 16.B58). So the expense of GBP 1,000 and income of GBP 1,200 are r...

Re: Accounting treatment of receipts of real estate agent
Hi, I would tackle this matter in two steps: 1/ Consider whether the intermediate party (landlord) is a principal or an agent - it's best done by applying IFRS 15 principal vs agent considerations This would determine the net vs gross presentation of lease income. 2/ Then look at IFRS 16 requirement...

Re: How to recognize future agreement on balance sheet?
Hi, this would be against IFRS in my opinion. Under IFRS 16.67, lessor recognises a lease when an underlying asset is made available for use by a lessee (the commencement date). This approach is also consistent with general approach to executory contracts under IFRS – you don’t recognise anything wh...
