Automation of Accounting Under IFRS

 

 

Implementing International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) affords new possibilities for an entity. The activity of such an organization becomes more transparent that results in growing confidence of new partners and customers.

Since 2020, Ukrainian legislation allows (and obliges some entities) to keep accounting under IFRS. Many companies solve this problem by transforming their financial statements in accordance with IFRS. But the transformation process is quite time-consuming and, as a rule, is performed manually.

To automate accounting under IFRS, BDO has developed a number of specialized modules for the most common accounting programs in Ukraine. The developed modules include:

  • Inventory markdown reserve
  • Discounting of financial loans
  • Provision for accounts receivable
  • Leases
  • Provision for vacation
  • Financial instruments
