SYNOPSIS: The Financial Accounting Standards Board (hereafter, FASB) and the International Accounting Standard Board (hereafter, IASB) issued a joint discussion paper titled Preliminary Views on Financial Statement Presentation. The Boards are seeking comments on whether their proposed model for financial statement presentation would improve the usefulness of the financial statement information for financial decision makers. This paper sets forth the American Accounting Association Financial Accounting Standards Committee (hereafter, the committee) summary comments as well as responses to several of the FASB’s and IASB’s (hereafter, jointly mentioned, the Boards) specific objectives and principles-related questions. Overall, the committee believes that the model has several appealing features, but also has several potential problems. Many of the problems discussed related to potential learning impediments for users to adapt to the new presentation format.

The main objective of this study is to explore the nature of accounting for Ijarahfinancing and its differences with conventional lease financing from the Islamic law and accounting perspectives.The study makes a comparison between the International Accounting Standard on leasing (IAS 17); the accounting standard for Ijarah (FAS 8) as developed by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI); and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (Pernyataan Standar Akuntansi Keuangan/PSAK 107). The study found that there are major differences as to the nature of leasing and Ijarah, and as a result accounting principles that have driven all the three standards as well as accounting techniques developed for leasing and Ijarah are significantly different.

Actieve belastinglatenties moeten in de jaarrekening worden gewaardeerd tot het bedrag waarvoor het waarschijnlijk is dat voldoende fiscale winst wordt behaald om de actieve belastinglatenties te verrekenen. De vraag is welk effect deze norm van de Raad voor de Jaarverslaggeving (RJ) en de International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) heeft op de gepubliceerde nettowinst van een onderneming. Zo raken tussentijdse op- en afwaarderingen van de actieve belastinglatentie de effectieve belastingdruk en daarmee de nettowinst. Richtlijn 272 en International Accounting Standard (IAS) 12 geven de onderneming de ruimte om de nettowinst te beïnvloeden door het al dan niet volledig tot waardering brengen van actieve belastinglatenties. Dit onderzoek richt zich op de vraag in hoeverre deze situatie invloed heeft op de gepubliceerde nettowinst. De invloed van het al dan niet volledig tot waardering brengen van actieve belastinglatenties op de gepubliceerde nettowinst bedraagt ruim 17%.
