IFRS 13 Fair value measurement IFRS 13 is not yet approved by EU Practical implication of the application of IFRS 13 are not yet known Expected implications: Changes introduced by IFRS 13 Many of the requirements codified in IFRS 13 are largely consistent with valuation practices that already operate today Expected implications IFRS 13 is unlikely to result in substantial change in how we determine fair value Introduces more disclosure requirements There is a risk that IFRS 13 disclosure will be just added on the top of the current disclosure which in many cases is already excessive/not tailored/not required/relate to nonmaterial items Attempt to improve disclosures (make them more relevant for users while ensuring that only useful information is disclosed)-> EFRAG Disclosure Framework (Discussion Paper issued in July 2012) 3
IFRS 13 Fair value measurement experience from the US In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (the ASU).; Effective from annual period beginning on or after 15 December 2011 ASU primarily clarifies existing fair value measurement guidance and is intended to align U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Some of the observation on implementation of ASU in 2012: ASU has not caused widespread changes in fair value measurements; Most companies included the new quantitative disclosures required by the ASU, however, the information was not always comprehensive and at times, it was somewhat difficult to follow. Disclosures were likely focused on substantial compliance, rather than readability. The disclosures were more in-depth for companies in the financial services industry (given the focus on financial instruments in the ASU) 4
