  6. Multi-GAAP During Transition During the transition period from US GAAP to IFRS, firms must continue to report in US GAAP and any local statutories, as well as begin tracking IFRS equivalents. Potential Impact on Bottom Line A study comparing of the impact of IFRS adoption in the UK reveals that net income generally rose by 39% while equity declined by 23%. UK GAAP is considered close to US GAAP in most areas. Impact on US CompaniesThe value of starting early Growing awareness of complex requirements… …drives preference for early planning and assessment Within what timeframe would your company adopt IFRS if given a choice? Cumulative Reporting Requirements Don’t Know 9% More than 7 years2% Companies are required to retrospectively apply IFRS to all periods presented as if they had always been in effect. Within 7 years 8% Within 3 years55% Within 5 years26% Source: Deloitte, 2007 “ No one anticipated how big it was going to be. Every company was too late and too slow in preparing – even the good ones.” Ken Wild, Global IFRS Leader, Deloitte Sources: European Financial Reporting Research Group; Deloitte Touche Tomatsu 6

  21. IFRS and Product Areas by Statement Note: IAS and IFRS statements are all listed, but not in sequence. “Area covered” is abbreviated for space reasons.Product usage is typical and generic, and products not listed in a given area are often used to contribute to that area. 21

  22. IFRS in Practice at Customers • EU Public Company customers all using IFRS • Australian Public Company customers all using IFRS • Swiss, Emirates, others using IFRS many years now • Issues in the transition from previous GAAP • Fixed Assets often not granular enough • Not really ERP issues: • Difficulty interpreting “principles” when accustomed to “rules” • Not much official interpretation of IFRS • IFRIC is the official interpretive body • Difficulty with segment & impairment logic: desire to stamp data with segments or cash generating units before segment or impairment identified 22

  23. Transform Your Business & Win with IFRS Going beyond compliance 23

  24. <Insert Picture Here> Andrew MidgleyHead of Financial ReportingPearson “There were fewer adjustments at the reporting unit levelthan we had expected and they tended to be relatively minor. They mainly related to acquisitions, intangibles, leases, and joint ventures. Adjustments at headquarters were more significantand more complex and related to pensions, share option expenses, deferred tax, and financial instruments. Given this relatively straightforward framework, the group was able to quickly establish a unified chart of accounts in Hyperion Financial Management covering UK GAAP, U.S. GAAP, and IFRS. It was then a simple matter to post the adjustments against these accounts as required.” “We had total visibilityof the process and could instantly see the effect of changes posted anywhere in the group. Also, if we needed to maintain the central model—for example, to collect more data—we could effect the change, and it was immediately available throughout the group. We could nothave managed this so easily using our old business consolidation system.” 24
