...Disclosures in IFRS Evidence from Infosys financial statements Abstract: INTRODUCTION: To reassure the position of a globalised economy, India is all set to implement IFRS .This paper attempts to show cause the disclosures as per the new accounting standard IFRS. Infosys, the software giant is one of the early movers in India to prepare the financial statements as per IFRS. This company has carved a niche in itself in good practices in financial reporting. Though India has missed the earlier deadline of converging to IFRS from April 2011, has shown its commitments to implement IFRs compliant accounting standards once few ambiguities are addressed to The main thrust of IFRS prepared by IASB (internal Accounting standard Board) is the “fair value accounting and detailed disclosures to make the financial statements more useful for the stakeholders. With the paradigm shift in the accounting standard there might be volatilities of the numbers reported. Right from the classification of assets, liabilities, equities until principle differences of asset valuations, revenue recognitions IFRS differ from existing GAAP. There were inquisitive analysts, accounting experts who would want to capture the transition difference of the two accounting standards. Hence, it will be of academic interest to study the difference between local GAAP and IFRS. This paper analyses the IFRS statement of Infosys from Financial year 2009 and makes comparisons with the Indian GAAP numbers. This study...

The pace with which different IT companies have been growing vary to a great extent. Even in terms of future guidance, one company hovers around 6-10% vis-a-vis another at 17%. Volatility has seeped into this industry. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the investors to invest in any of the companies, thanks to the sinusoidal growth of some of the bellwether IT companies. An investor needs to do an in depth analysis of the business model being followed by various companies. I need to look into their target geographies, service lines and industries. Scrutinising these parameters along with the valuation of the respective stocks will give a better idea about the future prospect of these companies. In this research, I have taken top four Indian IT companies- TCS, Infosys, Wipro and HCL. An in-depth analysis of each of the companies is done. I have looked into various domains of the companies.

...Depreciation / Depreciation Expense From a valuation standpoint, a very widely used ratio is the price to earnings ratio (P/E). This is the ratio of the market cap to the last year’s reported earnings of the company. There is another very widely used ratio called Enterprise Value by EBITDA. The Enterprise Value (EV) of a company is total debt plus the market capitalization of the company minus cash and equivalents with the company. Think of it as the price that a private buyer will have to pay for the whole company – he will have to buy out the equity of the company at the market capitalization, then pay off the debt at book value. For the transaction, the buyer can use the cash and equivalents available with the company. EV/EBIDTA is a very important ratio in private equity circles. This ratio, it is said, is a pure valuation ratio - it compares the value of a business, free of debt, to earnings of the business less interest expense. At the current market price, compute the P/E and EV/EBITDA of TCS and INFOSYS. For EV/EBITDA, you will have to take the current market capitalization, add it to it long term (secured and unsecured) debt, subtract the cash and equivalents with the company, and divide this by the EBITDA of the company. Infosys (based on 2011-12 Annual Report) Net earnings = 7986 Cr. Market Capitalization (1) = Rs. 164,592 Cr. Debt (2) = Rs. 393 cr. Cash and Equivalents (3) = Rs. 20591 Cr. EBITDA (4) = Rs. 10,061 Cr. E/P = Market...
