Re: What we are playing during the holidays
Savings and stability. Seems these days first releases are more like beta's (not much of a Christmas for your friends at Project CD Red I am guessing).

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...

What we are playing during the holidays
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. My go to games are generally rpgs, and I waste far too much time on them. So I just finished Outer Worlds (at 1am), but was very disappointed. Taking a b...

So it holds true as long as it's not the only non-current asset.

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.

Re: Conceptual Framework - Capitalisation of a Cellphone
I agree with JRSB's points. I would add that one of the unspoken underpinnings of the IFRS Standards is economic rationality. The fact you are willing to spend money leasing, or buying, a phone indicates your expectations about benefits. In business we spend money to make money. This a point picked ...

Well the IFRIC Update is out, and it confirms that at report date, for a debt to be classified as non-current you must also comply with covenants that will only be tested in the future (up to 12 months presumably).

Interesting discussion in today's FT about the vaguries of valuation. With two companies valuing the same financial item very differently.
