Re: Deferred tax as 'current' asset

This depends on tax jurisdiction. In Poland for example, large corporations are required to calculate their income tax on a monthly basis an pay accordingly. Therefore you can realise part of your DTA even a month after the reporting date. But at the reporting date it is still a DTA I did think abo...

Re: IFRS-16 (ROU)

1) As per IFRS16.B58 you classify the sub-lease as either an operating or finance lease (based on the ROU arising from the head lease, and considering the requirements of IFRS16.61-66. From the perspective of the separate financial statements, if you classify as a finance lease: A) Derecognise the r...

Okay so continuing a discussion from a different post. My games philosophy is I play 2 or so year old games when I can buy them for less than £20.

Re: IFRS-16 (ROU)

If I understand your questions correctly. 1) In the separate books/financial statements (if prepared) yes you would need to account for the lease. As JRSB notes a sublease is still just a lease (IFRS16.3). There are specific references scattered throughout IFRS 16 to subleases, but basically, you ha...

Re: IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentations

My understanding is that the difference boils down to paragraph 16, in Example 1 the entity has an obligation under the forward to deliver cash, therefore a liability. In example 3 a call gives the entity to ability to avoid payment if it doesn't make the call.

I agree with JRSB's points. I would add that one of the unspoken underpinnings of the IFRS Standards is economic rationality.
