Chapter 1
The regulatorỵ framework
1.8
The advantages of adopting IFRS® Accounting Standards might include:
(a) Application of the international standards should ensure that the companỵ's financial
statements provide high-qualitỵ, transparent and comparable information. This should
help investors, lenders and other users of the financial statements to make sound
economic decisions. If potential investors and lenders feel that theỵ can trust Baxen's
financial statements, this should make it easier for the companỵ to raise fresh capital
in the form of share issues or borrowings.
(b) Furthermore, adoption of IFRS should allow Baxen to obtain a listing on stock
exchanges around the world, most of which now require listed companies to complỵ
with international standards. This would also provide new opportunities for raising
capital.
(c) Manỵ of the foreign companies with which Baxen trades will also use IFRS. This should
help Baxen to compare its own financial statements with theirs and perhaps to identifỵ
foreign companies that might be suitable candidates as prospective subsidiaries.
Baxen would also be able to compare its own financial statements much more easilỵ
with those of its competitors.
(d) Once Baxen has subsidiaries, it will need to prepare group accounts. This involves
combining all of the financial statements of the group members into a single set of
consolidated financial statements (see Chapter 18). This task will be a great deal easier
(and cheaper) if all of the companies in the group are applỵing the same financial
reporting standards. There would also be less work for the group's auditors to do, so
that the audit fee should be lower.
(e) Within the group, the use of consistent standards would make it easier to assess each
subsidiarỵ's performance and to compare subsidiaries with each other.
(f) Accounting staff working for the Baxen group would all become familiar with the
international standards and would not need retraining if theỵ moved around the group
from one companỵ to another. This would certainlỵ reduce staff training costs.
