Re: Classification of Golf Course

Do you let it out the golf facilities someone else to operate for a period of time, or operate them yourself?

Re: Date of Authorization for Issue

Just checked Shell plc (most valuable UK company) as an example and management signed on same date as auditor. Gap is technically fine but we've seen issues in one of the recent big FRC penalties where the partner got into problems when backdating the audit report in an effort to reduce the gap betw...

Re: Souscription of preference shares after closing

I looked at it slightly different, ie instead of subscribing for shares now and just leaving the liability unpaid, the alternative is simply an agreement to subscribe for shares in the future, so you don't have the shares now, nor the liability to pay for them, until say 2 years. Then yes that seems...

Re: Date of Authorization for Issue

You can issue the audit after the company signs off but as you say typically is is the same time. You need to be ready to explain why there was a gap and what happened in between. Why did the company sign before the audit was finished? If the audit was finished, why delay the sign off?

Re: Souscription of preference shares after closing

If you look at it technically then you could also look at an example when you agree to buy shares in 10 years' time, which is a forward?

Re: Souscription of preference shares after closing

Technically it depends exactly when the agreements says the shares will be allotted (Dec or Feb). Seems like overkill to think of this as a forward but I accept we're thinking about what's technically correct.

Re: Date of Authorization for Issue

I don't think it's necessarily any of those dates; its when the management (Board?) of that company met and agreed to approve the accounts. You wouldn't issue an audit opinion after the date they were authorised, and it can't be before the final revisions, so it must be at some point between 2 Oct a...

Re: ROU asset de-recognition on sub lease

is the sublease an operating or finance lease? if operating then you'll keep the lease entries. you mention re-recognising the lease so presumably the sublease is only part of the life of the lease, so presumably it's operating. so leave the lease on balance sheet.

Re: Data Migration

Sounds like part of the costs of acquisition in some ways, so I'd say no, seems like costs you often see in a separate line in P&L in the acquisition year.

Re: IAS 36

Yes it's Haleon PLC. So based on the above, it sounds as though the income approach will in almost all cases allow a wider interpretation and therefore a higher value, which seems to make the VIU redundant to some extent. "The Group tests all its indefinite life brands for impairment by applyin...

IAS 36 Value in Use vs Fair Value Using Income Approach

Taking the impairment test using higher of VIU and FVLCTS. IFRS 13 includes the 'income approach' which is based on discounted future cash flows. what is the difference between a fair value calculated using the income approach, and value in use itself? To give the specific example, I am looking at t...

In practice, wouldn't the guarantee be a condition, rather than an optional feature to lower the interest rate? ie making it difficult to identify the incremental points.

Re: Accounting AI Software Startup question

there are programmes to instantly check all totals and note references etc so an AI-driven disclosure check must be very doable, it could highlight the main judgements it has applied and so on. someone can build it but can it be protected from copycats, that's the question.
