Impact analysis of adoption and implementation of new/revised IFRS standards.
IFRS impact assessment is an assessment conducted when new or revised accounting standard is implemented in any business from a specific date. Sometimes the value disclosed in the financial statements needs to be changed while comparing with those normally disclosed under existing practice, because of change in measurement of the item. In some cases, the impact will be only on information disclosed in the financial statement and may not necessarily impact the financial figures. In certain situations, items that were not accounted to date or had a different treatment earlier may change by adopting a new or revised one. In some other cases, the impact could be on both; the financial figures and the disclosure requirements.
