Meaning and objective of IFRS

IFRSs are single set of high quality, understandable and enforceable global accounting standards.

IFRSs are meant to bring a common platform for preparers of financial statements. This would ensure uniformity and comparability of financial statements across the globe. However, there are apprehensions about the use of IFRSs that the objective of comparison may not be fully met. Discuss the limitations that IFRSs may have.

IFRS Updates-2012

IFRS 3 Business Combinations—business combinations involving newly formed entities: factors affecting the identification of the acquirer and business combinations under common control

The IASB reviewed issues that had been discussed by the IFRS Interpretations Committee relating to requests for guidance on the circumstances or factors that are relevant when identifying an acquirer in a business combination under IFRS 3 and on accounting for business combinations between entities under common control. The IASB agreed with the Interpretations Committee that these issues would be best considered within the context of a broader project on accounting for common control transactions, if the IASB addresses this project at a later stage. All IASB members were in favour of this decision.
