Hi all.

The convergence note of ICAI states that IFRS is applicable from 2011.
IFRS in India would cover the following public interest entities in its first wave.

1) Listed companies
2) Banks, insurance companies, mutual funds, and financial institutions
3) Turnover in preceding year > INR 1 billion
4) Borrowing in preceding year > INR 250 million
5) Holding or subsidiary of the above

Does this mean Private Companies are not required to comply with IFRS as of now? Are there any references/websites/guidance notes/interpretations that states this clearly? If so pl provide me the link

Thanks

Hi..

IFRS is as equally applicable to Private Companies as that of Public Companies or Listed Companies but on fulfillment of certain criteria.

PFA a Power Point Presentation given by me regarding what is IFRS and what is the applicability and status of the same in INDIA and a slight discussion on AS 10 (Fixed Assets), IAS 16 (Property Plant & Equipment)and Converged AS 10 (Property Plant & Equipment).

Hope this may be useful. Kindly let me know if u have any further clarifications required on IFRS.

Thanks and Regards,
