The IASB has overall responsibility for all technical matters, which include preparing and issuing IFRSs; preparation, and issuance, of exposure drafts; setting up procedures for reviewing comments received on documents that have been published for comment; and issuing bases for conclusions.
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a set of accounting standards that govern how particular types of transactions and events should be reported in financial statements. They were developed and are maintained by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The FRSC formed the Philippine Interpretations Committee (PIC) in August 2006 to assist the FRSC in establishing and improving financial reporting standards in the Philippines. The role of the PIC is principally to issue implementation guidance on PFRSs.
The Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS)/Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS) are the new set of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) issued by the Accounting Standards Council (ASC) to govern the preparation of financial statements.
The purpose of IFRS is that entities have common accounting rules that allow financial statements to be consistent, reliable, and comparable between every business in any country.
IFRS Accounting Standards bring transparency by enhancing the international comparability and quality of financial information, enabling investors and other market participants to make informed economic decisions.
The purposes of government accounting are: To carry out the financial business of government in a timely, efficient and reliable manner (e.g. to make payments, settle liabilities, collect sums due, buy and sell assets etc.) subject to necessary financial controls.
The Financial Reporting Standards Council must: Advise the Minister on matters relating to financial reporting standards; and. Consult with the Minister on the making of regulations establishing financial reporting standards, subject to the requirements set out in section 29(5).
The rationale for using the IFRS/Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS) is to ensure consistency in recording, recognizing and measuring financial transactions, which, if followed properly, will ensure stability and transparency throughout the financial reporting process of the company.
Generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, are standards that encompass the details, complexities, and legalities of business and corporate accounting. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) uses GAAP as the foundation for its comprehensive set of approved accounting methods and practices.
GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) is a collection of commonly followed accounting rules and standards for financial reporting. The acronym is pronounced gap. GAAP specifications include definitions of concepts and principles, as well as industry-specific rules.
Four Constraints The four basic constraints associated with GAAP include objectivity, materiality, consistency and prudence.
Our Standards are developed by our two standard-setting boards, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).
IAS represents International Accounting Standards, while IFRS alludes to International Financial Reporting Standards. The IAS Standards come between 1973 and 2001, while IFRS guidelines come from 2001 onwards. IAS Standards fall under the IASC, while the IFRS come via the IASB, which succeeded the IASC.
IFRS currently has complete profiles for 166 jurisdictions.
IFRS is a globally adopted method for accounting, while GAAP is exclusively used within the United States. GAAP focuses on research and is rule-based, whereas IFRS looks at the overall patterns and is based on principle. GAAP uses the Last In, First Out (LIFO) method for inventory estimates.
The IASC saw these objectives as giving a more precise focus to the objectives originally written in 1973 which were: i. To formulate and publish in the public interest accounting standards to be observed in the presentation of financial statements and to promote their worldwide acceptance and observance; and. ii.
IASC retains its independence by having its own constitution that, from 2000, can be altered only by a meeting of the Trustees. Under the 2000 Constitution, the members cease to have a formal role in the decisions of the IASC Foundation.
There is a recognised and growing need for international accounting ...
By early 2001, the members of the IASB and the SAC were appointed, and the new structure became operational. Later that year, the IASB moved into new quarters in London. The technical staff of the IASB comprises over 20 accounting professionals—roughly quadruple the former IASC’s professional staff.
The appointment is for a term of three years, renewable once. They appoint the members of the IASB, the members of the Standing Interpretations Committee and the members of the Standards Advisory Council.
In November 1999, the IASC board itself approved the constitutional changes necessary for its own restructuring. In May 2000, the IFAC unanimously approved the restructuring. The constitution of the old IASC was revised to reflect the new structure.
The IASC was formed in 1973 through an agreement made by professional accountancy bodies from Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, the UK and the USA. ADVERTISEMENTS: In November 1999, the IASC board itself approved the constitutional changes necessary for its own restructuring.
On 9 September 2009, the Trustees of the International Accounting Standards Committee Foundation (IASCF), the oversight body of the IASB, published for public comment proposals that form the second part of a two-part review of the IASC Foundation constitution. The objectives of the proposals are to enhance the governance of the organisation, improve the involvement of stakeholders with a broad range of perspectives in both developed and emerging markets, and make operational improvements.
On 8 December 2008, the Trustees of the International Accounting Standards Committee Foundation (IASCF) issued for comment a discussion document on the second part of the five-yearly review of the IASCF Constitution. The document addresses constitutional issues that were not covered in the first part of the review, such as:
The IASC Foundation Trustees have announced important amendments to the IASCF Constitution effective 1 February 2009, including formation of a Monitoring Board and expansion of the IASB from 14 to 16 members. The Trustees approved the changes at their meeting in New Delhi, India, on 15 and 16 January 2009. The changes are the result of the first part of the IASCF Constitution Review 2008-2009. The second part of the review is currently ongoing (see story immediately above). Among the changes:
The roundtable was held from approximately 9:30 am to 3:30 pm at the Renaissance Chancery Court Hotel, London. Click here for the Trustees' Draft Proposals (PDF 153k), which served as the basis for the discussions. The two main proposals are whether to:
Like Commissioner James Gordon in the Batman comics, the ISJ in hero mode has integrity, a quiet ability to lead and unveil facts, and an adherence to trusted rules.
ISJs are keenly aware of patterns and when they shift or change. They are constantly comparing and contrasting what’s happening now with what has been before. This gives them an extremely reliable sense of the history of things, the background of an experience, and the memories associated with things. You’d be hard pressed to “pull something over” on an ISJ because they are well aware of your patterns of behavior, your history, and the facts related to your story. They will usually get a “gut” feeling or conviction that something is amiss because they, nearly unconsciously, can see where there is an inconsistency in a pattern and someone’s behavior or argument isn’t backed up by their past actions and experience.
The hero function is positive, confident, and consciously controlled. You can see the role of the hero (or dominant) function in Superhero stories: It’s Thor’s ability to take charge and see tangible opportunities in the moment (Se), it’s Batman’s ability to strategize and see future implications ...
Like James T. Kirk in Star Trek, The ESP in hero mode is advent urous, daring, bold, and quick to act. They also have a wittiness and charm that makes them instantly likeable. Their ability to think quickly on their feet is second to none and this is why you’ll often see Se-dominant types as superheroes in movies (think Thor or Johnny Storm).
IFRS Foundation. The IFRS Foundation is the legal entity under which the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) operates. The Foundation is governed by a board of 22 trustees. IFRS Foundation is the new name, approved in January 2010, of the IASC Foundation. The name change formally took effect on 1 July 2010.
The name change formally took effect on 1 July 2010. From that date, the Foundation's website (including IASB materials) also changed to www.ifrs.org and email addresses changed to end in '@ifrs.org'.

The International Accounting Standards Committee Foundation has named former Italian Minister of Economy and Finance Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa as its chairman.
Injective function or One to one function: When there is mapping for a range for each domain between two sets. Surjective functions or Onto function: When there is more than one element mapped from domain to range. Polynomial function: The function which consists of polynomials.
An example of a simple function is f (x) = x 2. In this function, the function f (x) takes the value of “x” and then squares it. For instance, if x = 3, then f (3) = 9. A few more examples of functions are: f (x) = sin x, f (x) = x 2 + 3, f (x) = 1/x, f (x) = 2x + 3, etc.
A function in maths is a special relationship among the inputs (i.e. the domain) and their outputs (known as the codomain) where each input has exactly one output and the output can be traced back to its input.
