    Financial Reporting Framework in Pakistan

    1. Executive Summary

    This report is divided into four sections. The first sections discuss the

    historical development and origin of accounting standards in Pakistan. The

    second section mentions the key players involved in setting financial

    reporting framework. The third section elaborates the whole adoption processof IAS/IFRS and its current status while fourth section focuses on how the

    financial reporting framework is in action.

    1.1. Development of Financial Reporting FrameworkThe origin and historical development of accounting standards in Pakistan

    have its roots linked to Mughal Dynasty where they used Persian mode of

    accounting. Later with the rise of British rule in India, the accounting rules

    also changed and have been developed over time since then and Company

    Act 1913 was formed.

    After the Independence, Pakistan continued working on refining the laws and

    implemented Companies Ordinance 1984 which is being followed till date

    with few amendments over the period.

    1.2. Key Players in Financial Reporting FrameworkThe Key Players in setting financial reporting framework includes:

    International Accounting Standard Board (IASB)

    Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP)

    Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP)

    State Bank of Pakistan (SBP)

    1.3. Adoption process of IAS and its current statusSECP is primary responsible for setting the financial reporting framework in

    Pakistan and seeks recommendation from ICAP on this matter. ICAP prepares

    and circulates draft rules to its members and obtains their feedback.

    ICAP has divided the accounting framework into three tier framework based

    on the public accountability, separation of owners/management and size.

    Following are the three layers as recommended by ICAP and notified by SECP.

    Tier 1: Publicly Accountable Entities

    Tier 2: Medium Sized Entities (MSEs)

    Tier 3: Small Sized Entities (SSEs).

    Financial Reporting Framework in Pakistan

    2. Development of Financial Reporting Framework inPakistan

    The current financial reporting framework in Pakistan has been developed

    gradually. The historical development of the financial framework is divided

    into 3 key distinct periods; the Mughals, the Britishers and the post

    Independence period.

    2.1. Mughal Dynasty - The Ancient Accounting History of Sub-continentThe accounting method in the subcontinent has started developing in 15th

    century under the Mughal Dynasty. Until 1583 there was a Hindu method of

    accounting before the adoption of the Persian mode, during the Era of

    Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar, the third Mughal Emperor. This method of

    accounting used by Bengali traders was a double-entry system used by

    Indian traders.

    2.2. British Dynasty - Evolution of Formal Accounting in Sub-continentWith the fall of Mughal Empire and the rise of the British Empire in the

    subcontinent, the change in leadership also brings changes in the accounting

    system. The Britishers, along with other things, also brings with them the

    formal accounting, as we understand it today. This formal accounting system,

    along with the concept of limited liability and statutory audit came to the

    Indian subcontinent in the middle of the 19th century during the British rule,

    when the Companies Acts of 1850 and 1857 were initially enacted.

    The Acts required that the companies should submit their accounts including

    half-yearly audits and auditors reports. These Acts were followed by the

    Companies Act 1883 which required detailed audit guidelines in term of

    appointment, remuneration and duties of auditors.

    2.2.1. Companies Act 1913

    The Companies Act 1883 was followed by the Companies Act 1913 which

    mandated that every company maintain books of accounts with respect to:

    1. Sales and purchases

    2. Receipts and payments of money

    3. Assets and liabilities of a company

    Under the requirements of this law, no person should act as an auditor of the

    company unless he/she held an auditors certificate granted by the provincial

    government.

    Financial Reporting Framework in Pakistan

    The central government, however, held the right to issue this certificate to

    members of certain professional bodies, namely; the Institute of Chartered

    Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), Institute of Chartered

    Accountants of Scotland (ICAS), and Institute of Chartered Accountants of

    Ireland (ICAI), who were immediately recognized as qualified auditors. There

    were no examinations required for obtaining the practitioners certificate until1918.

    2.2.2. Formal Examination for the Issuance of Auditing Certificate

    In 1918 the Government of Bombay instituted a Government Diploma in

    Accounting and constituted detailed rules regarding the examination and

    training of those who wanted to obtain the diploma and the license to audit.

    All provinces in British India soon adopted these rules. It was not until 1932

    that the Government of British India framed auditors certificates rules to

    control and regulate the auditing profession.

    2.3. Post Independence Era 1947 After gaining independence in 1947, Pakistan adopted as is the Companies

    Act of 1913 and the auditors certificate rules, 1932.

    In 1952, as a first step toward the institutional development of the profession,

    the practicing accountants (back then called Registered Accountants) formed

    a private body known as the Pakistan Institute of Accountants (PIA) to look

    after their own interests and to take up the accounting professional matters

    with the government.

    With the formation of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan

    (ICAP) in 1961 the accounting profession marked a major post-independence

    development. This step was the result of persistent pressure from the

    Pakistan Institute of Accountants, and the governments realization that the

    profession has grown in stature and importance. Another major development

    in the institutional structure was the creation of the Institute of Cost and

    Management Accountants of Pakistan (ICMAP) in 1966 (as a follow up to the

    formation of Pakistan Institute of Industrial Accountants) to regulate the

    profession of cost and management accountants.

    2.3.1. 1971 1984

    In 1970, the Securities and Exchange Authority, a semi-autonomous body

    created by the government, developed certain rules (that became effective in

    1972) to improve financial reporting practices in the country primarily

    through disclosures.

    Financial Reporting Framework in Pakistan

    Pakistan became a member of The International Accounting Standard

    Committee (IASC) shortly after its formation in 1974. Since Pakistan doesnt

    have any national accounting standard of its own, the Institute of Chartered

    Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP) encouraged its members to recommend to

    their corporate clients to prepare their financial statements in conformity with

    international accounting standards. Use of international accounting standardswas not mandated for listed companies, until the enactment of the

    Companies Ordinance 1984.

    2.3.2. 1984 - to dateCompanies Ordinance 1984 included some critical requirements, given the

    corporate context of the country.

    Financial statements of listed companies continued to improve with a number

    of new international accounting standards issued by the IASC (now known as

    the International Accounting Standards Board IASB). These standards were

    issued as part of a core standards project specified by International

    Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) to IASC before it would

    consider endorsing IAS for cross-border listing of companies on the

    international stock exchanges of the world. Most of these standards were

    adopted by SECP (Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan) on the

    recommendation of ICAP along with many old standards that were notadopted earlier.

    Another major development in the financial reporting system is the Code of

    Corporate Governance issued on March 28, 2002. Several features of the

    Code have specific reference to financial reporting and auditing issues.

    3. Key Players in Setting Financial ReportingFramework in Pakistan

    3.1. Overview The responsibility of accounting standards setting in Pakistan is largely

    vested with Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and

    Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP).

    Companies in Pakistan are required by Company Law to comply with

    requirements related to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

    and International Accounting Standards (IAS as developed by International

    Accounting Standard Board (IASB). All the companies in Pakistan are required

    to comply with IASs / IFRSs under section 234 of the Companies Ordinance,

    1984 that are notified by Securities & Exchange Commission (SECP).

    SECP notifies the accounting standards based on the recommendations of

    ICAP. In the event of difference between IAS/IFRS, with Company law or SECP

    notifications, the law / notifications prevail.

    In addition to the above, the listed companies are required to show

    compliance with the regulations of Stock Exchanges on which they are listed

    and Code of Corporate Governance. The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) also

    plays its role in standard setting where SECP and ICAP seek recommendation

    from SBP for setting standards particularly for Banking Companies and

    Development Financial Institutions (DFI).

    The Key Players involve in the development of Financial Reporting Framework

    in Pakistan are:

    3.2. International Accounting Standard Board

    International Accounting Standards (IAS) and International Financial

    Reporting Standards (IFRS) are Standards, Interpretations and the

    Framework adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

    Many of the standards forming part of IFRS are known by the older name

    of International Accounting Standards (IAS). IAS was issued between 1973

    and 2001 by the Board of the International Accounting Standards

    Committee (IASC).

    The IASC Foundation is an independent, not-for profit private sector

    organization working in the public interest. Its principal objectives are:

  • 8/9/2019 Financial Reporting Framework 14-4-2010

    9/20

    [IFA REPORT]

    EMBA - Assignment

    Financial Reporting Framework in Pakistan

    Develop a single set of high quality, understandable, enforceable and

    globally accepted international financial reporting standards (IFRSs)

    through its standard-setting body, the IASB

    Promote the use and rigorous application of those standards

    Take account of the financial reporting needs of emerging economies

    and small and medium-sized entities (SMEs)

    Bring about convergence of national accounting standards and IFRSs to

    high quality solutions

    The governance and oversight of the activities undertaken by the IASC

    Foundation and its standard-setting body rests with its Trustees, who are also

    responsible for safeguarding the independence of the IASB and ensuring the

    financing of the organization. The Trustees are publicly accountable to a

    Monitoring Board of public authorities.

    3.3. Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan

    The responsibility of setting accounting standards is largely vested with

    Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP). SECP notifies the

    IAS standards with the recommendation of Institute of Chartered Accountants

    of Pakistan (ICAP).

    SECP was set up in pursuance of the Securities and Exchange Commission ofPakistan Act, 1997. This Act institutionalized certain policy decisions relating

    to the constitution and structure, powers, and functions of the SECP, thereby

    giving it administrative authority and financial independence in carrying out

    its regulatory and statutory responsibilities.

    The SECP became operational in January 1999 and has come a long way

    since then. It was initially concerned with the regulation of corporate sector

    and capital market. Over time, its mandate has expanded to include

    supervision and regulation of insurance companies, non-banking finance

    companies and private pensions. The SECP has also been entrusted with

    oversight of various external service providers to the corporate and financial

    sectors, including chartered accountants, credit rating agencies, corporate

    secretaries, brokers, surveyors etc. The challenge for the SECP has amplified

    manifold with its increased mandate.

    3.4. Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan

    Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan acts as an advisor to SECP on

    the adoption and adaptation of IAS in Pakistan. SECP notifies the accountingstandards based on the recommendations of ICAP and in the event of

    difference between IAS/IFRS, with Company law or SECP notifications, the law

    / notifications prevail.

    ICAP was established on July 1, 1961 to regulate the profession of

    accountancy in Pakistan. It is a statutory autonomous body established under

    the Chartered Accountants Ordinance 1961. With significant growth in the

    profession, the CA Ordinance and Bye-Laws were revised in 1983, and are

    periodically reviewed to align them globally. It is a professional body of CharteredAccountants in Pakistan, and represents accountants employed in public practice, business and

    industry, and the public and private sectors.

    ICAP is a member of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), International

    Accounting Standards Board (IASB), Confederation of Asian & Pacific Accountants (CAPA),

    International Innovation Network (IIN) and South Asian Federation of Accountants (SAFA).

    3.5. State Bank of Pakistan

    In addition to the rules and standards set by the SECP in consultation with

    ICAP, Banking companies also needs to comply with the regulations of State

    Bank of Pakistan in Financial Reporting.

    The State Bank of Pakistan (SBPB) is the Central Bank of Pakistan. The SBP

    started its operation on July 1, 1948 and is responsible for regulating and

    monitoring of Banking and Monetary System of Pakistan. Some of the

    important functions of the bank are as follows:

    Issues the legal tender currency

    Implements the monetary and credit policy Regulates the financial market

    Acts as a banker to the banks

    Acts as a banker to Government

    With regards to the management of the bank, the Board of Directors plays a

    significant role. The Board consists of the Governor being the chairman of the

    board, Secretary Finance, Government of Pakistan and seven directors.

    practicing Chartered Accountants, representatives of Government and

    different trade bodies.

    The Accounting & Auditing Standards Committee (AASC), a sub committee of

    the ICAP council, conducts review, deliberations and prepares an exposure

    drafts / new IFRSs. This exposure draft is then disseminated to corporate

    sector and members of ICAP followed by extensive consultation with
