Note: Applic­a­bil­i­ty of Ind ASs

The Min­istry of Cor­po­rate Affairs has placed on its web­site 35 Indi­an Account­ing Stan­dards (Ind ASs – the expres­sion Ind AS is used in India in place of IFRS) with­out announc­ing their applic­a­bil­i­ty date. Since these Ind ASs have not been noti­fied by MCA, the same are not applic­a­ble for May, 15 Exam­i­na­tions. How­ev­er, stu­dents should have over­all gen­er­al under­stand­ing of Ind ASs since they gen­er­al­ly cor­re­spond to IFRSs except cer­tain carve outs and there is a full chap­ter on IFRS in the present syl­labus of Finan­cial Reporting.

The above was noti­fied by Insti­tute ear­li­er there­fore the recent­ly announced 39 INDAS is not applic­a­ble for May 2015 Exam.
