In the Revised Schedule VI format, no line item has been specified for the presentation of “Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account (FCMITDA)”. Therefore, the Council of the Institute at its 324th meeting held on March 24-26, 2013 at New Delhi, decided that debit or credit balance in FCMITDA should be shown on the “Equity and Liabilities” side of the balance sheet under the head ‘Reserves and Surplus’ as a separate line item.

2. Criteria for Classification of Entities and Applicability of Accounting Standards

Due to recent changes in the enhancement of tax audit limit, the Council of the ICAI has recently decided to change the 1st criteria i.e. determination of SME on turnover basis for Level II entities from Rs. 40 lakhs to Rs. 1 Crore with effect from the accounting year commencing on or after April 01, 2012.

Notes: 

1. Students are expected to have thorough knowledge of the Accounting Standards (AS 1 to AS 29) and Guidance Notes on various aspects issued by the ICAI.

2. As far as AS 30, 31 and 32 are concerned, in view of the complexities involved, the questions involving conceptual issues (not involving application issues) may be asked. Since a separate topic of ‘Financial Instruments’ is included in the curriculum, simple practical problems based on AS 30, 31 and 32 may be asked.

(Text of all applicable Accounting Standards and Guidance Notes are available in the Appendices, Volume II of Financial Reporting Study Material.)

Non-Applicability of Ind ASs for November 2013 Examination 

3. The Core Group was constituted by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) for convergence of Indian Accounting Standards with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This Core Group decided that there will be two separate sets of Accounting Standards viz.

(i) Indian Accounting Standards converged with the IFRS (Known as Ind AS)

The MCA has hosted on its website 35 converged Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) without announcing the applicability date. These are the standards which are being converged by eliminating the differences of the existing Indian Accounting Standards vis-à-vis IFRS.

(ii) Existing Accounting Standards

The companies not falling within the threshold limits prescribed for Ind AS converged with IFRS compliance in the respective phases shall continue to use these standards in the preparation and presentation of financial statements.

Non-Applicability of the following Amendments/Circulars/Notifications in Nov 2013 Examination

S.No. Subject Matter CA Final – Corporate and Allied Laws
1. Companies (Second Amendment) Act, 2002[relating to Winding up] Not Applicable [Only General Provisions of winding up as covered under Paragraph 9.4 of the study material is applicable for the examination. Students are being advised accordingly.]In view of the paradox of the new provisions relating to winding-up, as introduced by the Companies (Second Amendment) Act, 2002, have not yet fully been notified and proposed Bill on company law were contemplated upon one time or other, since now and then, it was thought that neither all the provisions relating to winding-up as contained in the existing Act, 1956 nor new provisions as introduced by the Companies (Second Amendment) Act, 2002 should not be made applicable from the view point of examinations. However, instead of making neither of them as applicable, there are certain practical common problems which students may study for the time being and those provisions/problems have been stated in the aforesaid para 9.4 of the study material. Though study material contains literature on the new law as per (Second Amendment) Act, 2002, questions will be based only on para 9.4 and not outside the same.
2. Provisions relating to Revival and Rehabilitation of Sick-Industrial Companies Not Applicable
