Currently there is a mix of accounting guidance for agriculture producers in the US that is both GAAP including Accounting Statement Codification 905 and non-GAAP financial guidelines. Should the US adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), this guidance would be replaced with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 41 Agriculture. This study identifies systematic differences between the US and International accounting and reporting for agricultural assets and products. The study also finds that international and US agricultural accounting recognition and reporting guidance result in dissimilar reporting due to guidance interpretation. Valuation variances and definition differences including the requirement to change the agricultural asset recognition method from historical cost to fair value continue to be the basis of major reporting differences. Current US guidance on recognizing and reporting agricultural assets is more conservative than the international guidance. Overall, the US agricultural recognition and reporting guidance contains less information and is therefore less beneficial to financial statement users.

Die Bilanzierung ökonomischer Sicherungszusammenhänge, das so genannte Hedge Accounting, gehört zu den am meisten kontrovers diskutierten und umstrittenen Vorschriften der International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Betroffen sind insbesondere die vom International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) veröffentlichten Regelungen zum Portfolio Fair Value Hedge Accounting von Zinsänderungsrisiken. Diese können als eine Weiterentwicklung der bisherigen Hedge Accounting Vorschriften angesehen werden, stoßen jedoch insbesondere in der Kreditwirtschaft auf Kritik. Der vorliegende Artikel befasst sich mit dem im International Accounting Standard 39 (IAS 39) verankerten Regelkreislauf des Portfolio Fair Value Hedge Accounting von Zinsänderungsrisiken. Dabei werden insbesondere die einzelnen Teilschritte herausgestellt und anschließend die Abbildung in der Bilanz und Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung dargestellt. The balancing of economic hedging activities, the so-called hedge accounting, is one of the most controversial and contentious discussed regulation of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This concerns in particular the regulations according to the Fair Value Hedge Accounting of interest rate risks issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB). Those can be considered as a development of recent hedge accounting regulations, but especially in the banking industry they met with criticism.

Objetivo: Identificar quais competências são desenvolvidas na aplicação de casos para ensino com a utilização de técnicas de ensino diferentes, à luz do Ensino Embasado na Estrutura Conceitual (EEEC) e da Taxonomia de Bloom. Método: Foram testadas três técnicas de ensino: Grupo de Verbalização e de Observação (GVGO), Júri Simulado e Problem-Based Learning (PBL). A percepção dos discentes foi coletada por meio de questionário e grupo focal. Resultados: Na percepção dos estudantes, o emprego das técnicas, desenvolveu habilidades e competências distintas. Assim, a escolha da metodologia para aplicação de casos deve estar alinhada com os objetivos educacionais estabelecidos pelo docente. Além disso, apesar de terem sido desenvolvidas competências de todos os estágios do EEEC, GVGO e PBL desenvolveram mais aquelas do estágio 3, enquanto o Júri Simulado aquelas do estágio 2. Contribuições: Os resultados podem ser úteis para o International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) ir além do desenvolvimento de casos para ensino no EEEC, incorporando na agenda reflexões sobre quais metodologias utilizar na aplicação desses materiais no instituto de alcançar o objetivo aplicação coerente das International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

However, recently the standard has been an addressed issue since Indonesia Chartered of Accountant (IAI) plans to comply the Indonesia Accounting Standard (SAK) with the International Financialreporting(IFRS)on1stJanuary2012.The purpose of the research is to measure the compliance of the (SAK) per 1st January 2008 with the IFRS per 1st January 2008 and attain the association between those two standards. Hence, the difference between the two standards and the neccessary steps to be taken for complying can be obtained. The methodology will be used in the paper are Jaccard’s Coefficients, Spearman’s Correlation Coefficient,Euclidean Distances.The sample for the paper will be 43 accounting issues adressed on both standards that have been chosen and investigated. The paper concludes that there are significant equalities (75%) between SAK per 1st January 2008 and IFRS 1st January 2008. (using Jaccard’s Coefficients). Due to several problems that have been found in the research, the author wish that the further researchers could widen the research’s samples, so the result will be more accurate and comprehensive.

IFRS are designed to bring consistency to accounting language, practices and statements, and to help businesses and investors make educated financial analyses and decisions. The Ind AS are named and numbered in the same way as the corresponding International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). National Advisory Committee on Accounting Standards (NACAS) recommends these standards to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Indian viewpoints do not receive adequate attention at International Accounting Standard Board (IASB). Those are not debated adequately at the IASB before rejection. The present paper will discuss the reasons behind convergence of IFRs, rather than adoption. It also shows the Carve Outs of Ind AS from IFRS by providing valid reasons.

Past decade has witnessed several changes in the process of conduct of business activities across the world especially due to the wave of globalization. It has also made drastic changes in the process of financial reporting, in particular the continuing adoption of IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) worldwide. IFRS are high quality, understandable, enforceable and globally acceptable accounting standards issued by IASB (International Accounting Standard Board). Thus these are a set of international accounting standards stating how a particular type of transaction and other events should be reported in the financial statements. Thus IFRS are designed as a common global language for business affairs so that company accounts are understandable and comparable across international boundaries. IFRS is becoming the global language of business with over 40% of the world adopting this as their standard for reporting. India also decided to converge to IFRS from 1st April 2016 in a phased manner, which in turn improves the financial statement comparability and transparency that helps to attract greater cross border investments. This paper focuses on the convergence of IFRS with Indian Accounting Standards, its utility, issues and challenges faced by the stakeholders. It also throws light to the ways through which problems can be addressed.

The management of Worldwide Shipping Corporation Ltd (hereafter “Worldwide Shipping”) is confronted with a dilemma when a new international accounting standard on leases is introduced which contains a transitional provision allowing firms to defer implementation for a period of four years. Students are required to put themselves in the position of managers who have to weigh the adverse impact of early adoption of the new accounting standard against a responsibility for fair financial reporting. Worldwide Shipping is a multifaceted case that can be used as an accounting case study or a financial analysis study. The objectives of the case are threefold. First, it aims to provide students with a better understanding of the impact of off-balance sheet transactions (in this case, sale-leaseback contracts) on a firm's financial statements. Second, it requires students to examine implications of accounting choice on management compensation and debt-contracting costs, as well as the perplexing problem of recognition in financial statements vs. footnote disclosures. By putting students in the position of managers, the case increases students' awareness of the possible economic consequences arising from accounting choice. Third, it provides students with a useful exercise in the mechanics of effecting a change in accounting method using the retroactive method.
