...on similar conceptual frameworks. The main objective of both IFRS and pre-IFRS Canadian GAAP is for financial statements to give a fair presentation. When there is a choice of accounting policies, the one that can reflect the most accurate economic portrait should be selected. Since Extract Tar Sands it traded publicly, included in its stakeholders are international investors. It’s compliance with IFRS is necessary to be a global competitor. IFRS will allow easier financial performance benchmarking amongst competing companies. This in turn will provide better access to capital. With the adoption of IFRS it will also eliminate Extract’s need to reconcile information reported under different national standards while providing consistent information for decision making purposes. The two areas with IFRS that represent the greatest change for Extract tar sands are: 1. Impairment: With IFRS impairments are usually triggered more frequently and unlike pre-IFRS Canadian GAAP, impairments under IFRS can be reversed. 2. Revaluations: Some IFRS including Property, Plant and Equipment, Investment Property and Intangibles allow the revaluation of assets under certain circumstances. This is quite a change from pre-IFRS Canadian GAAP which has no such provision. We will discuss these two issues as we go through the chart of accounts of Extract Tar Sands and also comment on any other differences that may arise between the IFRS and pre-IFRS Canadian GAAP.

...The Need for a New Impairment Model Related to Financial Assets and Loans Jonathan L. Harris Florida Atlantic University ACG 6135 - Advanced Accounting Theory Professor Kohlbeck October 10, 2014 Table of Contents Table of Contents Introduction………………………………………………… 3 Background…………………………………………………. 4 FASB’s CECL Model……………………………………….. 6 Credit Impairment and Hedging…………………………… 7 Current vs. Impairment Model…………………………….. 8 Controversy Surrounding the CECL Model………………. 9 FASB’s Exposure Draft…………………………………….. 10 Conclusion………………………………………………….. 13 Introduction It is imperative that the FASB adopt a new model for the recognition of credit losses on financial instruments held by banks, lending institutions, and private organizations. The economic crisis of 2008 was a result of the current failing “incurred loss” model because it failed to alert investors to credit losses. The problems with the present model is it delays recognition of credit losses until the losses are deemed to be actually incurred or incurred under a high level of probability. A large majority of financial statements users are in agreement that the FASB needs to adopt a new model, while the real issue lies in tailoring this new model to work fairly and efficiently for all. The answer is to implement and establish a new impairment model that requires consideration of forward-looking information to assess the estimated cash flows to be received on amounts due from customers, investment securities...
