Dr. T.P.Ghosh
Date: August 2010
Topic:- Article on 'Role of CMA in IFRS Era' published in the Management Accountant Volume 45 No. 8 August 2010.
Analysed from the perspective of the integration of Financial Accounting
System ( FAS) and Management Accounting System (MAS) , this paper
critically reviews four issues :
.>Fair value measurement framework
.> Cost plus pricing and fair value based risk premium
.> Componentisation of Assets
.> Critical Estimation
and concludes that MAS would be the basis of FAS in the IFRS era.
The paper also highlights the role of management accountants in different
phases of IFRS implementation.
As IFRS influence and improve the decision making system in the process
of delivering an improved financial reporting system, there is a need for
developing International Management Accounting Standards in the form
of best practices in the key decision making areas like fair value measurement,
cost plus pricing, and componentisation and principles of estimation which
would act as an accounting support system to IFRS.
Based on the limited review of four issues, this paper suggests to develop
seven standards in the first phase.
