9

ROE 8.90% 11.50% 2.65% ↓
Gross Profit: Gross profit / Business revenue * 100
Interpretation: From the above table it has been determined that gross profit margin for

Return on Equity = PAT/ Total Equity*100
Interpretation: ROCE of company in 2019 is 7.59 which was 71.17 in year 2018 such
increase is due to increase in total capital employed from 25651 to 28367. While return on equity
of company is declined from 11.55 to 8.9 in 2018 to 2019, due to major decline in total equity

Quick ratio 0.48 : 1 0.59 : 1 0.09 ↓
Current Ratio: = All Current Assets / All Current Liabilities
10

as in year 2018 current assets was and current liabilities were 19233 so current ratio is 0.71. On
the other side the value of current assets and liabilities was 12570 and 20680 respectively, thus
the current ratio was 0.61. The idle current ratio is 0.61 in year 2019 which company was not
able to meet in both years.
Quick Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventory) / All Current Liabilities
Interpretation: From the above table it has been determined that quick ratio for the
period 2018 was 0.59 as quick assets were 11336 and in year 2019 the quick ratio was 0.48
because the value of quick assets were decreased to 9953.
Stability ratio: This is the long-term relative to the liquidity. Analysis of stability
explores the total debt that can be maintained by the business or even whether equity and capital
are compatible (CHERSAN, 2015).

Gearing Ratio = Total non-current liabilities / Total Capital Employed*100
Ratio 2019 2018 Change in %
Gearing ratio 47.71% 59.14% 11.43% ↓
Interest cover 4.02 times 3.07 times 0.93 times ↑
Interest coverage ratio
Interest Cover = Operating Profit/ Interest Cost
Interpretation: From the above table it has been analysed that company is sightly facing
problems within its liquidity such as the interest coverage ratio was 4.02 times in 2019 that was
3.065 times in 2018 net increase in interest coverage is 3.11%. On the other side, gearing ratio
also decreased to 47.71 in year 2018 which was 59.14 in 2018 net decrease here is of approx
2.33%.

Receivables days 9.37 9.64 0.096 % ↓
Payable days 57.13 60.03 0.04 ↓
Working capital cycle 31.78 35.83 11.30% ↓
11

7. Differences between IAS and IFRS.
The International Accounting Standard (IAS) was the very first applied accounting norms
to be published by the IASC. It was established in 1973 to render companies around the globe
making simpler to compare for them with other companies. It is described as one of the most
authorized structure providing significant laws and principles relating to a company's financial
framework (Ji, Rozenbaum and Welch, 2017).
International financial reporting standards are defined as the reporting frameworks those
are set and established by an autonomous IASB. It is among the norm of which is used for
accounting that can assist to analyse precious outcomes within the company. These norms are
recognized worldwide to create a company's trustworthy condition and culture to produce
revenue (Leung, 2016).

It is recognized as the earlier accounting
regulation that furnish the business with
appropriate rules to manage and prepare
accounts. This will approach how to conduct

8. Advantages of International financial reporting system.
In resent time it is define that for each and every company those are business-related,
international financial reporting standards are most useful accounting norms (Whittington, 2016).
It is linked to increasing global shares and methods of mutually beneficial trade. It offers a
popular language to prepare business accounts that is understood by each organization and will
help company to make accounts for each operations and create differentiation from previous
year. By adopting and implementing IFRS companies are able to examine significant accounting
information as these are clear, descriptive, highly accountable. The concept of international
financial reporting standard were developed by IASB in order to ensure that global need of
accounting must be accomplished. There are number of advantages of IFRS to companies that
are discussed below:
 Improve financial reporting and tax scheduling in order to prepare standardized and
consistent accounting set for business firm (Benefit of financial reporting, 2019).
 Implementation of IFRS in an enterprise capable of assessing and shaping accounting
systems all around the enterprise and deducting audit costs.
 In order to make stronger choices, by adopting IFRS companies are able to gain quicker
access to more in-depth financial results data.
 IFRS' strategy helps to manage economic operation costs and to reduce the risk of issues
with punishments and compliance.
9. Degree of compliance with IFRS.
The level of company compliance with IFRS differs with several company according to
particular features (Mukhlisin, Hudaib and Azid, 2015). Major features of this is company size,
as it is suggested that to safeguard their image and reputation and also prevent public
involvement; bigger firms would have a greater level of compliance than smaller companies. The
agency theory promotes only an assertion that bigger companies are supposed to have a greater
level of compliance with reporting standards, since bigger companies have greater agency prices
due because of a more complex organisational structure, transparency is used to decrease market
competition among the management and equity suppliers of the company.
Profitability is one of the crucial features that is related with the level of compliance. It is
stated that management of higher profitable company desire to communicate their strength and
achievement to potential and present shareholder. Manager in higher gainful organisation are
13

also supposed to confirm their current duties and position and discloses larger quantity of
information as compared to manager of lower profitable companies. In resent time it is also
observed that companies those are operating from a longer period of time represent detail
information because they are well established and have skilled staff in preparation of financial
statement. These companies have more developed accounting system that is capabler to meet the
detailed requirement of IFRS compliance. Therefore it is stated that the signalling theory is used
to give support to the connection among the age of business firm and the level of disclosure
requirement compliance (Kotas, 2014).
Many emerging nations in Africa belonging to the British Commonwealth and creating
their accounting systems depending on the job of British businesses, where some of the cultural,
economic, financial, social and environmental factors relying on these works vary greatly from
the unique financial circumstances. As some other developing economies, Libya is unable to
create powerful qualified accounting rules through an accounting training scheme that generates
professionals that is more effective and is well-trained and has sound understanding of the
accounting field. Libya is dependent on UK and America and the specialists of the United
Nations to develop the university's bookkeeping system of education. Even though English is a
broad-based language, that's not the primary language in Libya and therefore the language can be
a issue in adopting and applying IFRS. The availability of teaching facilities and the organization
of courses and the use of accounting professionals to improve accountants ' effectiveness in order
to be prepared to develop financial statements in the context of IFRS.
CONCLUSION
In the end of this report it have been founded that crucial financial reports plays a vital
role in any kind of business entity. This is because it aid to provide general and faith financial
information about financial transaction of company during an accounting year. As per different
statements manager use to communicate with internal and external parties those have curiosity
within different operation of company. The primary intent of annual report is to provide faithful
and dependable business information to administrator of The TaxCom Accountants. These
reports are available to meet business goals and truthfulness and consistency are qualitative
reporting features which can actually achieve growth over a specific time period. To reduce the
risk of mistake and misleading transactions, the annual reports for every company should be
ready by evolving released accounting standards. IFRS accounting standards were introduced
14

primarily by the organization and this is useful for the observation of the degree of compliance
inside the firm in different part of world.
