Dear Mike,
Thank you for your all your support for ACCA 🙂
Just wanted to ask you incase of a conflict between local GAAP of a country and IAS which will be applied ?
For example in answer to june 2015 section B question 1(A) the examiner has included the capitalisation of interest (IAS 23) in FV of assets @ DOA. even though the local GAAP prohibits this.
Thanks
Local GAAP beats IAS / IFRS
For whose benefit are those financial statements being prepared? If it’s for filing with the local government, local GAAP must apply
Otherwise, it’s IAS / IFRS
