1.4 The AASB's role has changed since the introduction of test bank IFRS in 2005. Most of the Australian accounting standards mandated in Australia are Australian equivalents to IFRSs. Why do you think Australia has adopted Australian equivalents to IFRS?
The Australian standard setter i.e. the AASB has
changed its role since the adoption of IFRS in 2005. It is not solely making accounting standards
for use by Australian reporting entities, much of that role is now undertaken by
the IASB in its development of IFRS. IFRS adoption means that the AASB can now
contribute to the development of global financial reporting standards. Most
recently, the AASB provided export support on the IASB's discussion paper on
'extractive activities'. Adopting IFRS means that there is a reduction in
standard setting costs for Australia. Adopting Australian equivalents of IFRS
means that there is still scope for the AASB to tailor the IFRS to meet the
needs of Australian entities. For example: certain test bank IFRS standards will be made
available to specific Australian entities rather than all Australian entities.
Conversely, there will be other IFRS which the intention is for a more narrow
group of entities e.g. all listed companies and in Australia it might be
applies to both proprietary and limited companies. Adopting Australian
equivalents means that there is also the scope to change the wording of certain
standards to “fit” the Australian business environment.
Such textbook solutions disclosures provide a positive signal about
the company to various stakeholders such as consumers, investors, general
public, employees and suppliers. The disclosures can provide information to investors
to determine the future of an entity and to assess the future cash flows for
dividends and the possibility of capital growth of investment. Employees can
use the information to ascertain job security and future promotional
opportunities. Suppliers of the entity
can use the information to determine an entity’s ability to repay debt
associated with purchases.
