1. Format of statement of changes in equity is neither provided in Schedule III nor in the existing accounting standards.
.
2. This concept is from IFRS wherein as per International Accounting Standard 1 (Presentation of Financial Statements), preparation of statement of changes in equity is required.
.
2. As per sec. 2(40) of the Companies Act, 2013, financial statement includes, statement of changes in equity, if applicable.
.
3. The words ‘if applicable’ implies that the same will be applicable under Ind-AS only due to the following reasons:
.
i) ICAI has issued exposure draft for revision of existing AS-1 and the objective of revision states that, “revision of the existing AS 1 does not contain various requirements included in Ind AS 1 such as the concepts of...statement of changes in equity...”. Refer to pg. 25 of this -> link
.
ii) Para 10 of Ind-AS 1 (Presentation of Financial Statements), states that financial statements will include statement of change in equity.
.
iii) Para 106 of Ind-AS 1 mentions the information to be presented in such statement.
.
4. MCA has notified Ind-AS [Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015], w.e.f. 01.04.2015, applicable to certain class of entities. [Download the standards]
