Ind-AS already has significant impact in the second quarter results of 2016
The New Accounting standard “Ind-AS” has already significantly changed the way corporate balance sheets are drawn and interpreted in these phase 1 companies. The second quarter (Sep 2016) results of corporates released recently is the first announcement as per the new Ind-AS. According to Mint newspaper there has been an upward profit revision of over Rs 10,000 Crores due to reevaluation of property, plant and equipment due to the new guideline.
Ind-AS implementation is likely to significantly impact the financial reporting systems and processes and as such, these changes need to be planned, managed, tested and executed in advance of the implementation date.
