Ind-AS Key Note Address MAT implications 29 April 2017 Page 1 Key Note Address Ind AS Implementation: A Giant Leap ► ► Step in the right direction Substantial improvement in accounting ► ► ► ► Financial instruments Business combinations Service concession arrangements Enhanced transparency and accountability ► ► ► Critical judgements and estimates Financial risk management Capital management Achieving consistency and quality in Ind AS implementation is expected to take few years. Page 2 Key Note Address A roller-coaster ride ► Use of short-cuts ► ► ► ► Finding sweet-spot is not easy ► ► ► Use of excel sheets, instead of system driven process Fixed asset register not updated Impact on internal financial controls not considered Companies are working till last minute to finalize accounting policy choices/ exemptions Many companies may revisit FTA exemptions/ accounting policy choices post MAT clarity All key stakeholders are not aligned! Page 3 Key Note Address Picture Abhi Baaki Hai ► Limited disclosures in quarterly results due to exemption/ relaxations given by SEBI • Use of exemptions/ exceptions not disclosed • Accounting policies, judgments and estimates used are not disclosed ► Equity reconciliation either not given or given with limited disclosures ► Many companies, including many power and infrastructure companies, have not disclosed consolidated results • IFRIC 4/ IFRIC 12 impacts not clear as these arrangements are typically undertaken through SPVs ► Accounting policies/ use of exemptions may change till year-end ► Many companies have not completed audit/ review of comparative numbers Page 4 Key Note Address Ignorance is bliss Airport company Aeronautical services (Regulated) Flight operation assistance and crew support systems Safe and secure operation of the Airport Movement and parking of aircraft and control facilities Cleaning, heating, lighting and air conditioning of public areas Customs and immigration halls Flight information and public-address systems X-Ray service for carry on and checked-in luggage VIP / special lounges Aerodrome control services Arrivals concourses and meeting areas Baggage systems including outbound and reclaim Non-Aeronautical services (Unregulated) Aircraft cleaning services Duty free sales Airline Lounges Hotels and Motels Car Park rentals Bank/ ATMs & Telecom Advertisement Flight kitchen Land and space Ground handling It is estimated that over the concession period, total non-aeronautical revenue (unregulated) will be very significant and even greater than the aeronautical revenue (regulated). ► Argument 1: Unregulated activity is purely ancillary because it is supporting the main activity of air travel. SCA accounting applies. ► Argument 2: Unregulated activity is very important and should not be seen as ancillary and certainly not as “purely ancillary”. This is because the unregulated activity drives the airport feasibility, and is therefore very important from the perspective of the public (users), government and the operator. SCA accounting does not apply. Page 5 Key Note Address Ignorance is bliss Independent Directors – Whether KMP! ► Ind AS 24 defines KMP as “The persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of that entity.” ► ► ► ► Unlike AS 18 under Indian GAAP, Ind AS 24 does not exclude non-executive directors from the definition of KMP. Companies Act, 2013, prescribes very onerous responsibilities for IDs Responsibilities include authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling activities of the entity. Independent directors are KMP under Ind AS 24. Page 6 Key Note Address Shifting goal post Loan processing fee ► Under Indian GAAP, the company has written off entire loan processing fees in year 1 and capitalized the same to cost of plant ► On transition to Ind AS, the company is using previous GAAP carrying amount as deemed cost exemption for PPE ► Ind AS 109 requires amortized cost accounting and loan processing fee to be amortized over loan period Original ITFG decision (Dated 3 October 2016) ► No adjustment is allowed to carrying amount of PPE ► For applying Ind AS 109 retrospectively, corresponding adjustment should be made to retained earning. Revised ITFG decision (Dated 17 April 2017) ► Adjustment to PPE is only consequential and arising due to other transition requirements of Ind AS 101 ► Processing fee should be adjusted to the deemed cost of PPE Page 7 Key Note Address Shifting goal post Government grant ► Under Indian GAAP, the company has netted government grant from the cost of PPE ► On transition to Ind AS, the company is using previous GAAP carrying amount as deemed cost exemption for PPE ► Ind AS 20 requires government grant to be treated as deferred income – No option to reduce from cost of PPE Original ITFG decision (Dated 3 October 2016) ► No adjustment is allowed to carrying amount of PPE ► For applying Ind AS 20 retrospectively, corresponding adjustment should be made to retained earning. Revised ITFG decision (Dated 17 April 2017) ► Adjustment to PPE is only consequential and arising due to other transition requirements of Ind AS 101 ► Deferred grant should be adjusted to the deemed cost of PPE Page 8 Key Note Address Shifting goal post Classification of deposits Classification of security deposits received by an electricity company from its customers Original ITFG decision (Dated 3 October 2016) ► No unconditional right to defer refund of deposit for 12 months ► Expectation of the company are not relevant for classification ► The security deposits should be classified as a current liability Revised Position ► ITFG has withdrawn the above decision on 17 April 2017 ► One may argue that electricity and similar companies, e.g., a company providing gas or water supply, will classify deposits received from the customers as current or non-current liability based on estimated redemption pattern ► View will apply in limited circumstances such as in monopolistic or oligopolistic situations where choices available to the consumer to change the service provider are highly limited ► View will not apply by analogy in all cases – e.g. in the case of security deposit received a consumer goods company from retailers/ distributors – classification would continue to be current. ► Relevant only for presentation in the balance sheet. ► Recognition and measurement is governed by Ind AS 109. Consequently, no discounting is required Page 9 Key Note Address Shifting goal post Previous GAAP carrying amount as deemed cost ► A first-time adopter may opt to use previous GAAP carrying amount of PPE as deemed cost at transition date ► Needs to be applied to all items of PPE – No pick and chose allowed ► In CFS, option need to be applied at group level ► If a company use this option, only adjustment allowed to previous GAAP carrying value is for decommissioning liabilities. No other adjustment allowed. ► Option can also be used for intangible assets and investment property. Proposed recent change ► Carrying value can be taken as the deemed cost for ‘a class’ of assets instead of ‘all’ assets on the transition ► When the company chooses to adopt the carrying value as at the date of transition to Ind AS deemed cost, consequential changes arising on application of other Ind AS can be made to the deemed cost of PPE This may potentially help phase 2 companies with effect from 1 April 2017. Whether phase 1 companies can also benefit! Page 10 Key Note Address Unfinished Agenda Regulations/ agreements not changed ► Telecom companies are required to pay license fees on their revenue ► As per the Hon’ble Supreme Court judgement, revenue includes treasury income ► Under Ind AS, income will increase/ change due to: ► ► Interest unwinding on loan to subsidiary ► Unwinding of financial guarantee obligation ► Fair value measurement of mutual fund investments Regulators may argue that telecom companies are required to pay license fee on such income Page 11 Key Note Address Unfinished Agenda Regulations/ agreements not changed ► ABC has taken a long-term loan from bank ► The loan agreement requires ABC to comply with target Debt-equity ratio at year-end (31 March). Ratio is critical to protect banks’ interest. ► Ratio not met at 31 March ► Current classification applies ► How does one wriggle out of this problem?
