This report provides a critical evaluation of International Financial Reporting (IFRS), focusing on three key areas: differences in financial reporting, accounting for tangible and intangible fixed assets, and creative accounting. The report compares IAS standards with China and Singapore, highlighting the evolution of financial reporting practices in these regions. It delves into the specifics of accounting for both tangible (property, plant, and equipment) and intangible assets (like patents and goodwill), including depreciation and amortization methods, referencing examples from Singapore Telecommunications Limited. The report also explores the concept of creative accounting, linking it to potential fraudulent activities and relevant IAS standards (IAS 16 and IAS 38). Through regulatory discussions and relevant international accounting standards, the report aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these critical aspects of financial reporting, including their implications on the usefulness of financial statements.
