IAS 21 – does it need amending?
This article examines the issues raised by IASB research that referred to a KASB study into whether IAS 21 needs amending.

IFRS 13 has required a significant amount of work by entities to simply understand the nature of the principles and concepts involved.
The definition and disclosure of capital
This article is structured in two parts – first, it considers what might be included as the capital of a company and, second, why this distinction is important for the analysis of financial information.
Revenue revisited
This two-part article considers the application of IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the five-step model.
Concepts of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
This article explains the current rules and the conceptual debate as to where in the statement of comprehensive income, profits and losses should be recognised – ie when should they be recognised in profit or loss and when in the other comprehensive income. Further, it explores the debate as to whether it is appropriate to recognise profits or losses twice.

When does debt seem to be equity?
The difference between debt and equity in an entity’s statement of financial position is not easy to distinguish for preparers of financial statements. Many financial instruments have both features with the result that this can lead to inconsistency of reporting. This article explains the distinction between debt and equity and the key factors that determine whether an instrument is classified as debt or equity.
Lease – operating or finance?
Complex lease terms mean that it is often difficult to determine how they should be classified. We shed some light on the matter.

The effects of clutter have typically come in for little consideration by the preparers of annual reports. However, we discover how the phenomenon is increasingly under discussion, with initiatives recently launched to combat it.

This article explains some of these features.

The second part of this article takes a specific and deeper look at charities, which are one of the more important types of not-for-profit organisations.
