Ind AS Reporting Season: Risk Disclosures



The first time Ind AS adopters are having a nerve racking time in getting the pieces together for risk disclosures. The quintessential Ind AS 107 mandates disclosures which will aid the financial statement users to evaluate the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the company manages those risks.

Like the other financial instruments standards, scope of Ind AS 107 specifies that the standard applies to ALL the entities. So the myth that risk is for the financial services entities only has to disappear sooner. This disclosure standard merely sets out the amount of information reported to the management for the purpose of running the business which must be made available to the users.

Risk Disclosures of two types are required:

§ Qualitative disclosures: Company has to provide a brief explanation of the their exposure to risk, how they arise and how these risks are measured and managed

§ Quantitative disclosures:
   o Credit risk/ Counter party risk – with information about age of the assets where the counter party has defaulted and the collateral held by the company

   o Liquidity risk – categorize the financial liabilities in maturity buckets

   o Market risk – split between Currency risk, Interest rate risk and Price risk. A sensitivity analysis   must be provided for each type of risk where the effect of let’s say a 1% shift (up/down) in the currencies/ interest rate/ prices on profit or loss and equity

Happy Disclosing!!

Maintenance Charges Default: No Water, No Sympathy

In what can only be described as a case of forum shopping (trying to find the friendliest court), an apartment owner in Shiv Vihar CHS, Dombivali (East), took his complaints on a legal tour. The petitioner, Vilas Gopal Dongare member of the society was unhappy. Why? Because his water supply was cut off. The reason? He had not paid his maintenance bills, which had piled up to a whopping Rs. 7 Lakhs! Despite making several complaints about the alleged harassment by the society and even a water tank causing structural issues in his building, his cries were heard and promptly dismissed. The Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission looked into his case and, on 05.02.2020, decided it was not a human rights violation. They said, “Pay your bills first.” The society initiated proceedings under Section 101 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 (MCS Act) to recover arrears and got a Recovery Certificate issued in its favour. When the petitioner’s appeal against this certificate wa...

AMORTISED COST CALCULATION: THE EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATE (EIR)

IAS 39 mandates some financial assets and liabilities to be subsequently measured at ‘amortized cost’.  This measurement concept is a management theory put in accounting practice. It means that the contractual interest rate each period should be adjusted to amortize the transaction costs over the expected life of the financial instrument. The amortization is calculated on an effective interest rate (EIR) / yield-to-maturity (YTM) basis. The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the stream of principal and interest cash flows excluding any impact of credit losses, to the initial net proceeds. It is important to note that EIR method does not take into account any future credit impairments anticipated on that instrument. The carrying amount of the financial instrument subsequently measured at amortized cost is computed as: Transaction costs are an integral part of the amortized cost calculation. They are defined as costs that are directly attributable to the acquisit...

Court Upholds Co-operative Membership Transfer with Release Deed

In the case of Bima Nagar Co-operative Housing Society Ltd. v. Divisional Joint Registrar & Ors. WP 10768 of 2024 , the Bombay High Court on 23.09.2024 dismissed the society’s petition challenging the membership transfer to Pushpa Morey, a widow, following her husband's death. Initially, Pushpa was granted provisional membership but was later denied full membership by the society. Pushpa applied for full membership after her husband's passing. When the society refused, she sought help from the Deputy Registrar, who ordered that the society admit her as a full member under Section 22(2) of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960. The society’s appeal to the Divisional Joint Registrar was unsuccessful, prompting the writ petition in the Bombay High Court. The society argued that the "family arrangement" concept under Section 154B-13 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act applies only to a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF). Pushpa, however, contended tha...
