📑 Tech Roundup | PP&E Compared: IAS 16 and US GAAP

Same assets. Different accounting outcomes.

Both frameworks start property, plant and equipment at cost. After that, the differences matter: IAS 16 permits revaluation, while US GAAP retains the cost model.

In this edition, our Head of Technical, Aradhna Maharaj, explores the key differences in measurement, component depreciation, major inspections and related matters.

One takeaway: IAS 16 requires useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods to be reviewed at least annually. US GAAP has no equivalent explicit annual requirement.

📑 Tech Roundup | Intangibles Compared: IAS 38 and US GAAP

Same project. Same spend. Different balance sheets.

Both frameworks expense research, but development costs can tell a different story. IFRS requires capitalisation once six criteria are met, while US GAAP generally expenses R&D, with specific exceptions.

In this edition, our Head of Technical, Aradhna Maharaj, explores the key differences, from software development and acquired R&D to changes in internal-use software accounting.

One takeaway: timing matters. Under IAS 38, development costs expensed before the criteria are met cannot be added to the asset later.

📑 Tech Roundup | Provisions Compared: IAS 37 and ASC 450

ASC 450 and IAS 37 ask the same opening questions: is there an obligation from a past event, and can the amount be estimated? The split comes at the threshold and the range. IAS 37 recognises a provision once an outflow is more likely than not and books the mid-point of an equally likely range, while ASC 450 waits until a loss is likely to occur and books the minimum. On one legal claim, that is a 3.5m provision under IFRS against nothing but a note under US GAAP.

Keeping up with the latest local and international regulatory updates is extremely important in our business. In this edition, our Head of Technical, Aradhna Maharaj, unpacks the key differences between ASC 450 and IAS 37, covering what "probable" means under each, two worked examples on the same claim, the discounting and reimbursement rules where the gap runs the other way, and where the IASB's live project on IAS 37 now stands.

Reporting under both frameworks? Run the assessment twice, and keep this guide close.
