El Diccionario de la Real Academia Española nos enseña que vademécum proviene del latín vade, anda, ven, y mecum, conmigo. Se trata de un “Libro de poco volumen y de fácil manejo para consulta inmediata de nociones o informaciones fundamentales” Al terminar el período académico, los profesores del Departamento de Ciencias Contables de la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Administrativas de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (sede Bogotá) queremos destacar algunos sucesos recientemente ocurridos y reunirlos en este modesto vademécum, con el ánimo de profundizar nuestra conciencia sobre el permanente cambio de las disciplinas que enseñamos y como un fuerte llamado a la actualización de los programas de las asignaturas de los cuales somos responsables. Los invitamos a venir con nosotros en nuestro esfuerzo de mantenernos al día.

ANALISIS E IMPLEMENTACIÓN DE ESTANDARES DE CONTABILIDAD Y AUDITORIA EN EMPRESAS DE INTERES PUBLICO EN COLOMBIA



El proceso de reforma contable iniciado hace ya varios años, para conseguir que la información elaborada por las organizaciones se rija por un único cuerpo normativo, se encuentra en un grado de avance importante en todo el mundo. Así se vislumbró en las decisiones adoptadas por la Unión Europea, donde se llegó a la conclusión que el cuerpo normativo contable para los grupos empresariales consolidados que cotizan en bolsa, debe basarse en las Normas Internacionales de Información Financiera (IAS – IFRS). Es decir, en el modelo regulatorio de la International Accounting Standard Board (IASB).

DEMANDA ARTICULO 48 DELA LEY 43 de 1990 Junio 2009



La norma atacada guarda total armonía con la sana intención del legislador de prevenir al profesional conflictos de interés, propios de haber fungido como revisor fiscal que veló por el interés público y dentro de él por los derechos de los accionistas supervisando las gestiones de los ejecutores y/o el ejecutor, y que ahora en circunstancias y funciones distintas dentro del ente que antes controló, con toda certeza posee en detalle información privilegiada reciente la cual le permitiría algún beneficio en su interés personal o puede conducirlo a mantener actitudes de inconveniencia societaria pero coherentes con su actividad fiscalizadora.

(INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF ACCOUNTANTS / IFAC)



A partir de diciembre 15 de 2009, entró en vigencia las nuevas normas, resultado del proyecto de claridad, emitidas por IAASB. Los nuevos estándares fueron incluidos en el “Handbook of International Standards on Auditing and Quality Control” en el mes de abril de 2009.



This International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3402, “Assurance Reports on Controls at a Service Organization,” was prepared by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). The IAASB develops auditing and assurance standards and guidance for use by all professional accountants under a shared standard-setting process involving the Public Interest Oversight Board, which oversees the activities of the IAASB, and the IAASB Consultative Advisory Group, which provides public interest input into the development of the standards and guidance.



The International Accounting Education Standards Board (IAESB), an independent standard-setting board within the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), has released its Framework for International Education Standards for Professional Accountants (the Framework), which enhances the relevancy, consistency, and applicability of its publications to IFAC members. The Framework sets out the educational concepts that underlie the IAESB's International Education Standards (IESs), describes the nature of IAESB publications, and affirms IFAC member bodies' obligations relating to accounting education. The Framework also includes an appendix,"IAESB Drafting Conventions" (the Drafting Conventions), which will be used to increase the clarity of its standards.

IAASB staff has developed a series of ISA Modules focusing on some of the new and more significantly revised ISAs. August 3, 2009.



The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding designed to enhance their respective impact on issues surrounding valuations-particularly those related to improving the consistency of global valuation standards affecting the preparation and audits of financial reports. September 8, 2009.



Some small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may have access to more credit down the road, but will have to pass more rigorous tests to demonstrate their creditworthiness, according to the findings of a global survey of banks conducted by The Banker magazine in association with the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). The survey results, released today in a supplement on supporting small and medium-sized companies in the October issue of The Banker, also confirmed the critical role that accountants play in providing information that influences lender decision making. October 1, 2009.



This consultation paper seeks views on a number of matters that require consideration in relation to the IAASB's plans to develop guidance relating to auditing complex financial instruments by revising its extant International Auditing Practice Statement (IAPS) 1012, Auditing Derivative Financial Instruments. It incorporates recent work of the UK's Auditing Practice Board on the same topic, and asks specific questions about how that guidance might be adapted or supplemented for application in the international context. Oct 15 de 2009.



The IAASB approved this Consultation Paper, “Assurance on a Greenhouse Gas Statement”, for publication in October 2009. The responses to this Consultation Paper will be considered by the IAASB in its project to develop an International Standard on Assurance Engagements on the same topic. Oct 22 de 2009



Summary of the Basis of ISA Adoption by Jurisdiction. October 2009.



External confirmation procedures can be a compelling tool in obtaining relevant and reliable evidence for audits of financial statements.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS OF SUPREME AUDIT INSTITUTIONS ISSAI

(801,1033)/INTOSAI_GOV_9140_E_Exp-draft.pdf

The potential conflicting requirements of an organization’s governance structure’s need for assurance, the increasing importance of integrated risk management and control processes, and the overall growth in the demand for internal audit services, leads to concerns regarding internal auditor independence. In this regard, it is critical that public sector audit activities are configured and positioned appropriately within the organization.

(802,1033)/INTOSAI_GOV_9150_E_Exp-draft.pdf

This paper provides guidance on the way coordination and cooperation between Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) and internal auditors in the public sector can be achieved while respecting the distinctive functions and professional requirements of both.

Improvements proposed to public sector standards

The International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSASB) of the International Federation of Accountants has launched an improvements project with the release of Exposure Draft (ED) 42 Improvements to IPSASs. This ED is the first of a proposed series of annual improvements to the IPSASs and is modeled on the successful annual improvements program developed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The proposed amendments in the ED are related primarily to the recognition, measurement, or disclosure requirements but do not represent substantive revisions to the content of existing standards. They reflect changes made by the IASB to related International Financial Reporting Standards. Comments on ED 42 are requested by 30 September 2009.



IAESB proposes education work plan

IFAC's International Accounting Education Standards Board (IAESB) has invited organisations and individuals with an interest in accounting education to comment on its proposed 2010-2012 Strategy and Work Plan. The IAESB's proposed strategy focuses on projects and activities aimed at developing International Education Standards (IESs), while providing adoption and implementation guidance to interested stakeholders in accounting education. The IAESB proposes to undertake three high-priority activities, beginning in 2010. These are:

Conducting a revision of the IESs, considering results of the IAESB's drafting conventions project and recent developments in the accountancy profession.

Developing implementation guidance in areas of measurable implementation of the IESs, competency frameworks, and quality control measures for education providers.

Promoting greater awareness among academics, regulators, and others of the IAESB's pronouncements and its role in advancing international debate on emerging issues relating to development and assessment of professional accountants.



IFAC asks G20 to adopt global standards

The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) has urged G20 leaders, at their 23-24 September 2009 meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, to encourage adoption and implementation of global accounting, auditing, and auditor independence standards. IFAC also asks that further steps be taken to enhance the governance of the International Accounting Standards Board. IFAC's letter also includes recommendations on enhancing corporate governance, strengthening of the accountancy profession in developing countries, and developing new tools and metrics to achieve global sustainability. IFAC also asks the G20 to facilitate debate to resolve issues between financial reporting – designed to communicate business performance to investors – and prudential reporting-used to monitor and maintain financial stability.

IASCF publishes guide to IAS 32, IAS 39, IFRS 7

The IASC Foundation has published Financial Instruments – A Guide Through the Official Text of IAS 32, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 (July 2009). This 688-page book presents the full text of the standards (along with all related IFRIC Interpretations) with extensive hyperlinked cross-references and annotations. The guide also includes footnotes that describe financial instruments issues on which the IFRIC decided not to develop an interpretation. In addition, to provide guidance on measuring and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments in markets that are no longer active (illiquid markets), the volume contains the report of the IASB Expert Advisory Panel and the accompanying IASB staff summary.



ED on financial instruments classification and measurement

The IASB has published an exposure draft (ED) on Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement as the first part of its three-phase project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The Board decided to address classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities first because they form the foundation of a standard on reporting financial instruments. Moreover, many of the concerns about IAS 39 that have been expressed during the financial crisis relate to its classification and measurement requirements. The IASB plans to finalise the classification and measurement proposals in time for non-mandatory application in 2009 year-end financial statements. The other two phases of the IAS 39 project are addressing Impairment and Provisioning and Hedge Accounting. Additionally, the Board's project on Derecognition of Financial Instrument will also result in amendments to IAS 39. The IASB plans to complete the replacement of IAS 39 during 2010, although mandatory application will not be before January 2012. Comments on the ED on Classification and Measurement are due by 14 September 2009.



Global Preparers Forum to meet 28 July

The IASB's Global Preparers Forum will meet on Tuesday 28 July 2009 from 10;00am to 16:00pm at the Board's offices in London. The purpose of the Global Preparers Forum is to provide input into concepts and proposals that the IASB is developing and offer advice to the IASB on the practical implications of its intended proposals for preparers of financial statements. Meetings are open to public observation



Exposure Draft on rate-regulated activities

The IASB has invited comment on proposals on the accounting for rate-regulated activities. The proposals are set out in an exposure draft Rate-regulated Activities. Comments are due 20 November 2009. The objective of the proposals is to establish whether and how assets and liabilities resulting from rate-regulated activities should be recognised and measured under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). If adopted, the proposed IFRS would:

define regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities.

set out criteria for their recognition.

specify how they should be measured.

require disclosures about their financial effects.

The IASB was asked for guidance on the issue from many jurisdictions. Clarifying the accounting for rate regulation is of particular importance for jurisdictions that are in the process of adopting IFRSs and where accounting for the effect of rate regulation is in place for some sectors. In those cases entities are currently recognising sometimes significant 'regulatory' assets and liabilities by reference to an existing US standard, in the absence of an IFRS



IASB amends IFRS 1 on first-time adoption

The IASB has amended IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments address the retrospective application of IFRSs in two particular first-time adoption situations:

Full-cost oil and gas assets. The amendments exempt entities using the full cost method from retrospective application of IFRSs for oil and gas assets. Entities electing this exemption will use the carrying amount under its old GAAP as the deemed cost of its oil and gas assets at the date of first-time adoption of IFRSs.

Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease. If a first-time adopter with a leasing contract made the same type of determination of whether an arrangement contained a lease in accordance with previous GAAP as that required by IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease, but at a date other than that required by IFRIC 4, the amendments exempt the entity from having to apply IFRIC 4 when it adopts IFRSs.



FCAG recommendations on standard-setting

The Financial Crisis Advisory Group (FCAG) – a high level group of recognised leaders with broad experience in international financial markets formed jointly by the IASB and the US FASB – has published its recommendations related to accounting standard-setting activities, and other changes to the international regulatory environment following the global financial crisis. The report of the FCAG articulates four main principles and contains a series of recommendations to improve the functioning and effectiveness of global standard-setting. The chief areas addressed in the report are:

Effective financial reporting

Limitations of financial reporting

Convergence of accounting standards

Standard-setters' independence and accountability



IASB ED on classifications of rights issues

The IASB has invited comment on an exposure draft (ED) of an amendment to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation on the classification of rights issues. The proposals seek to clarify the accounting treatment when rights issues are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the issuer. Current practice appears to require such issues to be accounted for as derivative liabilities. The proposals state that if such rights are issued pro rata to an entity's existing shareholders for a fixed amount of currency, they should be classified as equity regardless of the currency in which the exercise price is denominated. The ED Classification of Rights Issues is open for comment until 7 September 2009. The IASB plans to issue the final amendment before the end of 2009 with early application permitted. If adopted the amendment will apply retrospectively



IFRIC proposal on debt extinguishments

The International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) has published a draft Interpretation, IFRIC D25 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments. The proposal addresses the appropriate accounting under IFRSs when a creditor agrees to accept an entity's shares or other equity instruments to settle the financial liability fully or partially. IFRIC D25 proposes that:

an entity's equity instruments are part of any 'consideration paid' to extinguish a financial liability.

the equity instruments should be measured at either their fair value or the fair value of the financial liability extinguished, whichever is more reliably determinable.

any difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the initial measurement amount of those equity instruments should be included in the entity's profit or loss for the period.



Extractive activities – draft discussion paper

| |The IASB has posted on its website a working draft of a discussion paper Extractive Activities. The draft was prepared by a project|

| |team comprising staff of the national accounting standard-setters in Australia, Canada, Norway, and South Africa. The paper |

| |addresses financial reporting issues associated with exploring for and finding minerals, oil, and natural gas deposits, developing |

| |those deposits, and extracting the minerals, oil, and natural gas. The paper notes that an absence of comprehensive IFRS literature|

| |on the subject has contributed to a divergence in practice under IFRSs. The paper reviews the issues and presents the |

| |recommendations of the project team. It is posted for information only – comments are not requested. The IASB plans to invite |

| |comments on the project team's proposals in the first quarter of 2010. The project is not yet on the IASB's active agenda. The IASB|

| |has agreed that if it adds the extractive activities project to its agenda, it will regard the discussion paper as the first stage |

| |in its due process. In that case, the IASB would publish an exposure draft as the next phase of such a project. |



ED on employee benefits discount rate

| |The International Accounting Standards Board has published for public comment proposals to amend the discount rate for measuring |

| |employee benefits. IAS 19 Employee Benefits requires an entity to determine the rate used to discount employee benefits with |

| |reference to market yields on high quality corporate bonds. However, when there is no deep market in corporate bonds, an entity is |

| |required to use market yields on government bonds instead. The global financial crisis has led to a widening of the spread between |

| |yields on corporate bonds and yields on government bonds. As a result, entities with similar employee benefit obligations may |

| |report them at very different amounts. To address the issue expeditiously, the IASB proposes to eliminate the requirement to use |

| |yields on government bonds. Instead, entities would estimate the yield on high quality corporate bonds. If adopted, the amendments |

| |would ensure that the comparability of financial statements is maintained across jurisdictions, regardless of whether there is a |

| |deep market for high quality corporate bonds. In view of the urgency of the issue and the limited scope of the proposals the IASB |

| |has set a shortened period for comments on the exposure draft -- comments are due by 30 September 2009. The IASB intends to permit |

| |entities to adopt the amendments that arise from this exposure draft in their December 2009 financial statements |

IASCF Proposals for constitution changes

The Trustees of the International Accounting Standards Committee Foundation (IASCF), the oversight body of the IASB, have 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.



IFRS for SMEs in Spanish is released

| |in making investment decisions. The Monitoring Board said that 'independence and transparency' are an essential part of the |

| |standard setter's due process. The Monitoring Board is a group of public capital market authorities to whom the IASC Foundation |

| |established a public accountability link. Here is an excerpt from the Monitoring Board's statement: |



NIIF para PYMES impreso en español se publica

Norma Internacional de Información Financiera para Pequeñas y Medianas Entidades (NIIF para las PYMES) 2009 may be ordered for £20 plus shipping, with substantial discounts for students, full time academics, and academic institutions; purchasers in middle income and low income countries; and multiple copies.



IASB finalises 'rights issues' amendment to IAS 32

The International Accounting Standards Board has finalised an amendment to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The amendment addresses the accounting for rights issues (rights, options, or warrants) that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the issuer. Previously such rights issues were accounted for as derivative liabilities. However, the amendment requires that rights, options, or warrants to acquire a fixed number of an entity's own equity instruments for a fixed amount of any currency are equity instruments – regardless of the currency in which the exercise price is denominated – if the entity offers the rights, options, or warrants pro rata to all of its existing owners of the same class of its own non-derivative equity instruments. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010, with earlier application permitted. The amendment is to be applied retrospectively.



IASB amends IAS 24 on related parties

The IASB has revised IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures to provide a partial exemption from the disclosure requirements for government-related entities and to clarify the definition of a related party. The Board did not change the fundamental approach to related party disclosures contained in previous version of IAS 24, which requires entities to disclose information about related party relationships and transactions. The revisions respond to concerns that the previous disclosure requirements and the definition of a related party were too complex and difficult to apply in practice, especially in environments where government control is pervasive. The revised standard addresses those concerns by:

Providing a partial exemption for government-related entities. Until now, if a government controlled, or significantly influenced, an entity, the entity was required to disclose information about all transactions with other entities controlled, or significantly influenced by the same government. The revised standard still requires disclosures that are important to users of financial statements but eliminates requirements to disclose information that is costly to gather and of less value to users. It achieves this balance by requiring disclosure about these transactions only if they are individually or collectively significant.

Providing a revised definition of a related party.



IASB issues IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

Today, the IASB issued IFRS 9 Financial Instruments as the first step in its project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets. Those requirements must be applied starting 1 January 2013, with earlier adoption permitted including for 2009. The IASB intends to expand IFRS 9 during 2010 to add new requirements for classifying and measuring financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment, and hedge accounting. By the end of 2010, IFRS 9 will be a complete replacement for IAS 39 – mandatory for 2013 and optional in earlier years. Click for IASB Press Release (PDF 103k).

US CPA exam to include IFRSs starting 2011

Beginning 1 January 2011, the United State Uniform CPA Examination will include, for the first time, testing on International Financial Reporting Standards. Under the new Content and Skill Specifications for the Uniform CPA Examination (PDF 262k), CPA exam candidates will be expected to 'identify and understand the differences between financial statements prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)'. Candidates will also be required to demonstrate proficiency in first-time adoption of IFRSs



Proposal to adopt IFRSs in Argentina

Argentina's Comisión Nacional de Valores (CNV, the National Securities Commission, an agency of the Argentine Ministry of Economics and Public Finance) has proposed to require IFRSs for all companies that publicly offer equity or debt securities, beginning with financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011. The proposal is titled Adopción de Normas Contables Internacionales para la Preparación de Estados Contables (PDF 503k, Spanish). There are approximately 130 publicly traded companies in Argentina, and they have approximately 500 subsidiaries and associates that will also prepare their financial statements using IFRSs. The CNV's proposed IFRS regulation would not apply to the following companies:

Financial institutions (their financial reporting is regulated by the Argentine Central Bank, which has recently announced its intention to require IFRSs probably starting in 2014)

Insurance companies (under the Argentine Insurance Oversight regulation)

• Civil associations

• Cooperatives

• Other entities under the control of the CNV (trusts, mutual funds, and small entities that discount checks).

Prior to 2011, the companies that will be moving to IFRSs will be required to disclose the coming change in a note to their 2009 financial statements and to include in their 2010 financial statements a reconciliation of income and shareholders' equity from current Argentine GAAP to IFRSs. By requiring IFRSs for companies whose securities are publicly traded, the CNV would be acting to adopt a resolution approved in March 2009 by the Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas (FACPCE), which is the national accounting standard setter in Argentina. The FACPCE's Resolution – Resolución Técnica No 26: Adopción de las NIIF del IASB (PDF 64k) – states that the IFRSs issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), in the official Spanish translation issued by the IASB, must be applied – no local adaptations. Resolution No 26 also permits, but does not require, all other non-public companies to apply IFRS. There's more background information on our Argentina Country Page.

IFRSs and the accounting environment in Russia

Deloitte & Touche Regional Consulting Services Limited (Russia) has published Doing Business in Russia 2009 (PDF 2,330k, 80 pages). A section of that report examines the accounting environment in Russia. For historical reasons, the Russian financial reporting has been determined by the state rather than the accounting profession. Russian Accounting Standards (RAS) tend to be a summarised version of IFRSs, with modifications and options that allow the financial statements to be consistent with tax laws and regulations. Doing Business in Russia 2009 includes information about which entities are required to be audited, where financial statements are filed, and recent trends toward voluntary publication of IFRS financial statements. Some differences between IFRSs and Russian Accounting Standards are noted – as summarised below. Here is our Russian Country Page.

CESR's report on reclassification of financial instruments

The Committee of European Securities Regulators (CESR) has completed a study of the application of the amendments to IAS 39 and IFRS 7 regarding Reclassification of Financial Instruments in 100 large EU financial companies' annual financial statements for 2008. The objectives of the study were (a) to consider how financial companies in Europe applied the reclassification amendments and (b) to analyse whether companies have complied with the related disclosure requirements in IFRS 7. The 100 companies consisted of the 22 financial companies included in the FTSE Eurotop 100 index and 78 other financial companies across Europe. CESR found:

61% of all the companies analysed used the option to reclassify in the annual financial statements for 2008.

68% of the FTSE Eurotop companies used the option to reclassify in the annual financial statements for 2008 compared to only 36% in the interim financial statements for the 3rd quarter of 2008.

The impact of the reclassifications was positive on the profit and loss account and on other comprehensive income. If no reclassifications had been made, the total amount reported in the profit and loss account and in other comprehensive income would have been 28 billion Euros lower than the figures actually reported.

Inadequate compliance with the disclosure requirements in IFRS 7 when a reclassification took place:

40% of all companies analysed (and around one third of the FTSE Eurotop companies) did not disclose the fair value gain or loss on the reclassified financial asset (whether recognised in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income) prior to the reclassification (IFRS 7.12A (d)).

Around half of all companies analysed (and around one quarter of the FTSE Eurotop companies) did not disclose the effective interest rate and the estimated amounts of cash flows that they expected to recover (IFRS 7.12A (f)).



CESR's review of IFRS enforcement in Europe

The Committee of European Securities Regulators (CESR) has published reports of a self-assessment and a peer review of the enforcement of IFRSs and other financial disclosure requirements (such as in prospectuses) by 29 'national enforcers' across Europe. Enforcement in Europe is governed by two related standards: CESR Standard No 1 Enforcement of Standards on Financial Information in Europe (March 2003, PDF 151k) and CESR Standard No. 2 Coordination of Enforcement Activities (PDF 92k, April 2004). Many of the principles in Standard 1 relate directly to IFRSs, including, for example, principle 20:

|Principle 20 |

|In order to promote harmonization of enforcement practices and to ensure a consistent approach of the enforcers to the application |

|of the IFRSs, coordination on ex-ante and ex-post decisions taken by the authorities and/or delegated entities will take place. |

|Material controversial accounting issues will be conveyed to the bodies responsible for standard setting or interpretation. No |

|general application guidance on IFRSs will be issued by the enforcers. |

CESR's 2009 review was conducted in two stages:

First, CESR members self-assessed their application of each of the four principles of CESR's Standard No. 2 by answering questions that have been established for each principle against a set of benchmarks.

Second, CESR's peer pressure group, the Review Panel, conducted a peer review of how National Enforcers applied the Standard.

Among the findings:

The self-assessment showed that less than half (45%) of CESR's members fully apply the Standard in their day-to-day enforcement.

The peer review by the Review Panel revealed that slightly less than one-third of CESR members were fully applying the Standard, and that significantly more than half of the CESR members did not apply the principles overall

Proposed changes to European banking regulations

Some aspects of the European Commission's revisions to the Directive on capital requirements for financial institutions may have financial reporting implications. Among other things the proposal calls for enhanced public disclosures about the level of risks to which banks are exposed in securitisations in both their trading and non-trading portfolios. It would also make clear that the provisions on prudent valuation in the existing Directives should apply to all instruments measured at fair value, whether in the trading book or non-trading book of institutions. The proposal acknowledges that there may be differences in fair value measurements for accounting and regulatory purposes: "Where the application of prudent valuation would lead to a lower carrying value than actually recognised in the accounting, the absolute value of the difference should be deducted from own funds."



Do not change the fundamental purpose of accounting

| |Paul Boyle, Chief Executive of the UK Financial Reporting Council (FRC), argued in a speech to the FRC Annual Open Meeting against |

| |proposals to use accounting as a public policy tool to reduce pro-cyclicality and challenged the proposition that accounting |

| |measures that show volatility should be adjusted to create an impression of stability. Mr Boyle also warned that the risks to |

| |confidence in corporate reporting and governance remained higher than normal and that there was no room for complacency. |



FEE urges new approach to setting global standards

FEE (Federation des Experts Comptables Europeens – Federation of European Accountants) has issued a policy statement on financial reporting confirming its views that a single set of global accounting standards is needed, but concluding that convergence should no longer be a key driver in the financial reporting debate.



Basel Committee principles for revising IAS 39

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has published a set of high level guiding principles to assist the IASB in addressing issues related to provisioning, fair value measurement, and related disclosures. In releasing the principles the Basel Committee said that "the principles will help it produce standards that improve the decision usefulness and relevance of financial reporting for key stakeholders, including prudential regulators. Moreover, the principles would ensure that accounting reforms address broader concerns about procyclicality and systemic risk."



IVSC proposal on valuing investment property

The International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) has invited comment on an exposure draft (ED) of a Proposed Guidance Note The Valuation of Investment Property under Construction. Comments are requested by 31 October 2009. The guidance comes in response to a change in the scope of IAS 40 Investment Property that was made by the IASB in May 2008 as part of its Annual Improvements Project. The scope of IAS 40 was broadened, effective January 2009, to include property under construction or development for future use as an investment property. Such property previously fell within the scope of IAS 16. As a result, entities reporting under IFRSs now have to account for investment property under construction in the same way as other investment property.



FASB proposes fair value disclosures for 2009

The US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued an exposure draft (ED) of a proposed Accounting Standards Update intended to improve disclosures about fair value (FV) measurements. Proposed new and revised disclosures include:

Effect of reasonably possible alternative Level 3 measurements (measurements based on unobservable inputs) that could increase or decrease FV significantly – sometimes called sensitivity disclosures

Transfers of assets or liabilities among Level 1, 2, and 3 measurements

Information about gross purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of assets or liabilities whose FV is measured using a Level 3 FV measurement

Disaggregated disclosures of FV for each class of assets and liabilities

Valuation techniques and inputs used to measure FV using Level 2 and 3 measurements

The proposed disclosures are similar to those already required by IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. With the exception of the sensitivity disclosures (item 1 above), the new disclosures would be required for interim and annual reporting periods ending after 15 December 2009. The Level 3 sensitivity disclosures would be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after 15 March 2010. FASB's deadline for comments on the proposals is 12 October 2009.



FSB seeks simplified global financial instruments accounting

The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has urged the IASB and FASB to simplify, improve, and converge their accounting standards for financial instruments "in a manner that does not expand the use of fair value in relation to the lending activities (involving loans and investments in debt instruments) of financial intermediaries". The FSB was established to coordinate the policies by which countries regulate and supervise financial institutions



CEBS consults on bank disclosures

The Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS) has published a consultation paper proposing disclosure guidelines intended to help financial institutions improve their risk disclosures in the wake of the financial crisis. The disclosure guidelines are divided into three different parts, discussing respectively:

general principles to be applied to high quality disclosures

principles dealing with the content of disclosures on areas or activities under stress, in particular business models, impacts on results and risk exposures, impacts on financial positions, risk management, and sensitive accounting issues guidance on presentational aspects of disclosures

Developing a Lean Performance Score

By DeWayne L. Searcy, CMA, CIA, CPA

Many companies in the early stages of a lean effort find it difficult to measure the success of their work. A lean performance score provides an easy-to-understand metric that clearly illustrates the success of a lean implementation. By measuring your organization’s progress in implementing lean, you can better manage the transformation and help ensure the organization fully achieves the desired benefits of going lean.



Nurturing the Right Customers

By V. Kumar and Bharath Rajan

Short-term models of profitability often give short shrift to customers, without whom any business is doomed to failure. By concentrating on measuring and improving Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), companies can help ensure that they focus their marketing dollars on the most profitable customers and avoid spending on those who cost too much and return too little.



Renewing your will to compete

By Tom FitzGerald

Effectively managing a company’s Operating Dynamic can have a far more profound impact on the bottom line than a major strategic change. It’s possible to manage the organizational forces that contribute to the Operating Dynamic just as you would the line items on financial statements. CFOs have the skills, experience, and training to measure and manage these items and help drive a company’s performance.

Microfinance has been an important method for helping individuals in developing countries gain access to financial services. Yet experience has shown that access to capital isn’t enough to guarantee success. Many microentrepreneurs lack the same skills that management accountants rely on every day. Helping them learn these basic concepts can help ensure microfinancing efforts have an even greater positive impact.

Ca Magazine del mes de diciembre de 2009, trae el estudio titulado: Ten ways to add value

Este refleja a través de una serie de encuestas, que los clientes dicen que su contador trae mucho valor. De acuerdo con el estudio de la Federación Canadiense de Negocios Independientes (CFIB), el 66,5% de las empresas consideran que su contador - y el abogado - la fuente más valiosa de información. Asociaciones empresariales y comerciales de menor rango, en el 35%, seguido de otras pequeñas empresas (19,8%) y proveedores (12,3%)… El estudio completo se puede ver en:



La European Accounting Review, en su documento publicado en febrero de 2009: How CFOs Determine Management Accounting Innovation: An Examination of Direct and Indirect Effects, hace un interesante estudio crítico acerca del papel de los responsables financieros y cómo la contabilidad de gestión puede ser sujeta de innovación.

ABSTRACT Although management accounting innovations such as Activity-Based Costing, the Balanced Scorecard and benchmarking have received much academic interest in recent years, our understanding of why some organizations adopt and implement such new management accounting systems (MAS) and others do not, is still underdeveloped. This paper contributes to the literature by examining the role of the CFO in MAS innovation. We hypothesize that individual differences between CFOs are predictive of organizations’ use of innovative MAS. In addition, we propose that CFO characteristics moderate the extent to which organizations rationally adapt to (environmental) contingencies. To examine this second prediction we compare the effects of strategy and historical performance on the adoption of innovative MAS for organizations with different types of CFOs. We test our hypotheses using a combination of archival and survey data from the public health care sector in Spain. Our results are generally supportive of our hypotheses.

Global Risks 2009. A Global Risk Network Report. 2009 will be a year of learning the lessons of the financial crisis; a year where its reach in terms of time and scope becomes more evident; a year that calls for a new financial architecture to be shaped. At the same time, it will be a year that will test the resolve and willingness of world leaders to collaborate and take action to move beyond this crisis. The global risks landscape is a crowded one and the window of opportunity we have to address some of the largest challenges of our time is narrow World Economic Forum. January 2009.

Back testing value-at-risk This article is the sixth in a series of articles exploring risk management for institutional investors. Over the past five articles, we have covered the basics about computing Value-at-Risk (VaR) to assess the market risk of a portfolio of traditional financial instruments. We explained at a high level the pros and cons of the three main methodologies, namely Analytical, Historical and Monte Carlo Simulations. In our last article we described how one can stress test a portfolio to perform some sensitivity analysis or to account for extreme movements in the markets. But how accurate are these various VaR methodologies? At the end of the day, all these models may look elegant and quite sophisticated, but do they really do what they say they do – identify some areas in a portfolio where risks may arise and eventually affect the overall performance of the portfolio? Back Testing has been designed to answer this particular question. We present in this article the pros and cons of the two main techniques used to back test a VaR model. by Romain Berry J.P. Morgan Investment Analytics and Consulting. September 2009.

An analysis of active and passive managers During World War II, the British government started a program with the slogan “Dig for Victory” – citizens were encouraged to grow their own food as the nation sought to reduce pressure on the public food supply brought on by the war effort and reduce overall expenditures on food. Similarly, stock market investors are feeling the pinch. As some asset managers have fallen short of investors’ expectations, individual and institutional investors are asking themselves the same question, “are these fees worth the added benefit?” In this article, we will provide insight by comparing and contrasting traditional, long-only active and passive portfolio management. By Jeff Mortimer, CFA and Stuart Eadon J.P. Morgan Investment Analytics and Consulting. June 2009



Hedge fund clones: the benefit of liquidity and the promise of average hedge fund returns Institutional investors may want to achieve average hedge fund returns with high liquidity when considering allocation to alternative investments. In this vane, there are a growing number of studies and product releases in the field of hedge fund beta replication.

In theory, hedge fund beta replication seeks to provide alternative exposure with lower fees, less risk, and higher liquidity. Beta replication attempts to break down hedge fund returns into different risk-attributable return components. By Arek Leoniuk J.P. Morgan Investment Analytics and Consulting. March 2009



Equity Risk Premiums (ERP): Determinants, Estimation and Implications - A post-crisis Update Equity risk premiums are a central component of every risk and return model in finance and are a key input into estimating costs of equity and capital in both corporate finance and valuation. Given their importance, it is surprising how haphazard the estimation of equity risk premiums remains in practice. We begin this paper by looking at the economic determinants of equity risk premiums, including investor risk aversion, information uncertainty and perceptions of macroeconomic risk. October 2009.

¿Por qué América Latina tuvo un mejor desempeño en esta crisis? Los beneficios de estar preparado Aunque esta vez los choques externos fueron muy fuertes, la región de América Latina y el Caribe se ha desempeñado notablemente mejor que en el pasado, e incluso mejor que muchos otros mercados emergentes. Esa mejora puede atribuirse a que la región enfrentó la crisis equipada con marcos de política económica más sólidos y creíbles, y menores vulnerabilidades financieras, externas y fiscales. Esto permitió que varios países de la región implementaran políticas monetarias y fiscales contracíclicas. Octubre 2009

Boletín No. 225 - Diferencia en cambio en el IICA. Sentencias que excluyen de la base gravable del impuesto de industria y comercio ala diferencia en cambio y pactos de reajuste. (Consejo de Estado, radicado No. 16088 de abril 2 de 2009).

Acuerdo 031 de Mayo 18 2009 Suprime anticipo ICA. Eliminación del anticipo del impuesto de industria y comercio en el municipio de Palmira para el año 2010: Entidades tales como FENALCO, La Andi, la Cámara de Comercio de Palmira, el Comité Cívico Intergremial, dispusieron un comunicado a la Alcaldía Municipal alternativas a los contribuyentes del tributo para el cumplimiento de la obligación en esta vigencia fiscal.  Debido a que el plazo para declarar vence el próximo 30 de mayo y por las diferencias de criterio entre los contribuyentes y la Administración respecto de dicho impuesto, se menciona como una alternativa, la forma de liquidar el anticipo del 15%; sin embargo, esto no será necesario ya que este es eliminado de acuerdo a lo planteado en el Acuerdo Municipal expedido por el Consejo Municipal de Palmira

Sentencia 16466. El no presentarse las declaraciones de impuesto a las ventas, esta no es razón valedera para negar la cancelación de la inscripción en el Registro Único Tributario: Adjunto encontrarán la sentencia No. 16466 del 30 de abril de 2009 del Consejo de Estado, en la que se explica que si el legislador dispuso que los que son responsables del impuesto a las ventas continuarán obligados a declarar siempre y cuando estos no informen a la autoridad tributara el cese de las operaciones, este hecho no podrá alegarse como causal para negar la responsabilidad sobre dicho impuesto el cual es procedente una vez la DIAN reciba y verifique la información.  La cancelación del RUT está condicionada al cumplimiento de la obligación de declarar.

IICA Diferencia en cambio TAC 09-180-70-01. Sentencia del Tribunal Administrativo de Cundinamarca señala que “No obstante, es necesario recabar que la diferencia en cambio como resultado de la devaluación o revaluación de una divisa frente a la moneda nacional no es realmente un ajuste integral por inflación, pero tampoco se trata de un ingreso que debe hacer parte de la base gravable del impuesto en comento” (subrayamos).

Señala “las operaciones contables o aritméticas que se encuentran expresadas en moneda extranjera si bien pueden devenir del ejercicio de alguna actividad industrial, comercial o de servicio (importación, exportación, mutuo, etc.), no por ello constituyen actividad alguna ya que son resultado de un ajuste ordenado por la norma que comporta un mayor o menor valor del activo o del pasivo, pero no genera propiamente en el primer evento un ingreso por el ejercicio o la realización de dichas actividades, que pueda ser gravado con el tributo, ya que el mayor valor se causa al reexpresar el valor de las operaciones teniendo en cuenta su exposición a las variaciones de la tasa de cambio de la moneda nacional, sin que se produzca la percepción efectiva del ingreso por la realización de las operaciones o actividades, como quiera que se genera por el movimiento económico y no por la intervención del sujeto. Es decir, puede ser que la operación (llámese acreencias en moneda extranjera, rendimientos financieros, depósitos en moneda extranjera, entre otras) en sí se encuentre gravada, pero su ajuste por diferencia en cambio no corre la misma suerte atendiendo a que se trata de un ajuste ordenado por la norma que se genera por el movimiento económico y no propiamente por la realización de alguna de las actividades gravadas.

En conclusión, la diferencia en cambio no se trata de un ingreso que debe hacer parte de la base gravable del impuesto en comento.”

Como es una apelación de un proceso proveniente de un juzgado administrativo, es definitiva.

Acuerdo 352-08. Reforma Tributaria del Distrito.

CONGRESO APROBO LEY DE AJUSTE TRIBUTARIO. Bogotá, diciembre 16 de 2009.

JURISPRUDENCIA CONTABLE

|C-557-2009 |Competencias de la Contraloría General de la República. Naturaleza, características y alcances del control |

| |fiscal en la Constitución. Comparación con las competencias del Contador General de la Nación. Se declaran |

| |exequibles algunos apartes contenidos en el artículo 37 de la ley 42 de 1993 |

|16274-2009 |"(...) lo cierto es que recibió un valor monetario por un activo intangible que representa la potencialidad de |

| |los establecimientos comerciales de generar frente a sus competidores, un mayor margen o flujo de ingresos. Y |

| |es que los intangibles comprenden aquellos recursos obtenidos por la empresa que carecen de naturaleza |

| |material, e implican un derecho o privilegio oponible a terceros, de cuyo ejercicio o explotación se obtienen |

| |beneficios económicos, como patentes, marcas, derechos de autor, good will, crédito mercantil, franquicias, |

| |etc.(2). (...)" |

|16295-2009 |La sociedad subordinada que cumpla con las características de sociedad controlante o matriz  no debe informar |

| |independiente los estados financieros consolidados, salvo la sociedad matriz no se encuentre domiciliada en el |

| |país |

|15894-2009 |En la actividad de las empresas captadoras de ahorro para viajes la mayoría de sus ingresos constituyen |

| |diferidos |

|16338-2009 |"(...) si el respaldo probatorio de la contribuyente es su contabilidad, la misma debe cumplir los requisitos |

| |de suficiencia e idoneidad, por ello, es deber de los contribuyentes obligados a llevar contabilidad, poner a |

| |disposición de la Administración de Impuestos, cuando ésta lo requiera, los libros de contabilidad junto con |

| |los comprobantes de orden interno y externo que dieron origen a los registros contables, de tal forma que sea |

| |posible verificar la exactitud de los activos, pasivos, ingresos, costos, deducción y demás datos consignados |

| |en esos registros (...) |

|15311-2009 |"(...) Pues bien, el crédito mercantil adquirido se conoce como prima de control, puesto que constituye un pago|

| |adicional al precio fijado para las acciones, como retribución por el control que se adquiere sobre una |

| |sociedad y que se determina por el reconocimiento de atributos especiales, como el buen nombre, personal |

| |idóneo, reputación de crédito privilegiado, prestigio por vender mejores productos y servicios y localización |

| |favorable. Tal erogación no hace parte del costo de las acciones (artículo 69 del Estatuto Tributario), sino de|

| |un intangible que como activo es distinto de las acciones que se adquieren. (...)" |

|16485-2009 |(...) Según se ha considerado, tal prueba, que debe contener algún grado de detalle en cuanto a los libros, |

| |cuentas o asientos correspondientes a los hechos que pretenden demostrarse, no puede contener simples |

| |afirmaciones acerca de las operaciones contables de que dichos funcionarios dan cuenta, pues “en su calidad de |

| |profesional de las ciencias contables y responsable de la contabilidad o de la revisión y análisis de las |

| |operaciones de un ente social, está en capacidad de indicar los soportes, asientos y libros contables donde |

| |aparecen registrados las afirmaciones vertidas en sus certificaciones” . (...)" |

|77301-2009 |(...) En ese sentido, les asiste razón a los demandantes cuando arguyen que el Tribunal Administrativo del |

| |Tolima (Sala de Descongestión) restó valor probatorio a los documentos aportados y desconoció las disposiciones|

| |legales, pues las certificaciones del contador público dan cuenta de las utilidades reportadas por el |

| |establecimiento “Distribuciones El Cacique”, las cuales, naturalmente, dejaron de percibirse en razón del |

| |sellamiento ordenado en los decretos declarados nulos. (...) |
