ICAI | Exposure Draft of Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities



Quick Summary
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has released an Exposure Draft concerning Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities. This draft aims to replace the existing IFRS 14, which allows temporary accounting approaches for rate regulation effects. The proposals are intended to provide users of financial statements with a clearer understanding of the financial relationship between revenue and expenses for regulated entities. ICAI is inviting stakeholders to submit comments on this draft by May 10, 2021.

The Exposure Draft proposes to supersede existing IFRS 14, Regulatory Deferral Accounts, an interim Standard that permits a variety of accounting approaches for the effects of rate regulation to continue temporarily. The proposals would, if implemented, affect entities subject to a regulatory agreement that is capable of creating regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities. For users of financial statements, the IASB expects that application of the proposals would result in financial statements providing a clearer and more complete picture of the relationship between the revenue and expenses of those entities.
