Lingnan UniversityHKSAR Government Scholarships香港特別行政區政府獎學金Regulations2011/12Purpose and BackgroundThe HKSAR Government Scholarships were established as part of a package of measures to further develop Hong Kong into a regional education hub. The Fund was set up to award Government scholarships to outstanding local and non-local students, so as to:(a)attract outstanding non-local students to study in publicy-funded degree levelprogrammes in Hong Kong;(b)reward outstanding local students who choose to pursue their studies in suchprogrammes in Hong Kong;(c)recognize the achievements of outstanding local and non-local students, with aview to attracting them to stay in Hong Kong after graduation; and(d)promote the further development of Hong Kong as a regional education hub andenhance Hong Kong’s competitiveness in the long run.The HKSAR Government will offer six scholarships in 2011/12, five scholarships for local students and one scholarship for a non-local student to undertake undergraduate first degree programmes.Duration of ScholarshipsEach scholarship will be tenable for a period of three years and renewable annually, subject to satisfactory academic performance of the awardees.Value of ScholarshipsThe scholarships shall be HK$40,000 each per year for local students and HK$80,000 per year for a Mainland fee-paying student.Eligibility and CriteriaScholarships are awarded to first-year local students under a three-year programme and second-year Mainland fee-paying students under a four-year programme, having regard to following considerations:(a)excellent performance in academic studies;(b)recognized contribution to the institution/society;(c) demonstrated leadership and good communication skills; and(d) strong commitment to the Hong Kong community.Selection Procedures(a)In September, the Registry of Lingnan University shall generate a list of first-yearlocal admitttees from Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Business and Faculty of Social Sciences on the strength of their HKALE results.(b)The University will shortlist second-year Mainland fee-paying students admittedto Lingnan University under a four-year degree programme based on their academic results of the last academic year.(c)The scholarships shall be open for application by first-year local students andsecond-year Mainland fee-paying students as well.(d)In early November, Student Services Centre will invite shortlisted local andMainland fee-paying students to attend an internal interview conducted by the Standing Panel of Scholarships of the University. The Panel comprises Dean of Students as convenor; one academic staff respectively from each of Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Business and Faculty of Social Sciences and Director of Student Services as members; as well as one representative form the Students’ Union as observer.(e)The decision of the scholarship selection panel shall be final, and shall not besubject to appeal from students.(f)The nominations will be sent to the Government Secretariat, HKSAR.(g)In end November, the University shall then make a firm offer of scholarships, andwill inform successful candidates to sign an undertaking.Conditions for RenewalRenewal of each scholarship is on an annual basis, subject to continued outstanding academic performance in the preceding academic year (i.e. a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above). The University scholarship selection panel will assess the performance of candidates eligible for scholarship renewal and confirms that they meet the requirement.Payment of ScholarshipsThe scholarship grants will be disbursed to the awardees in two equal instalments, in October and January respectively.Revision and AmendmentsAll conditions stated above may be revised, amended and updated from time to time upon agreement between the HKSAR Government and the University.。

二十国集团领导人布里斯班峰会公报(双语)当地时间11月16日,二十国集团领导人第九次峰会15日至16日在澳大利亚布里斯班举行。
峰会发表公报,全文如下:二十国集团领导人布里斯班峰会公报(2014年11月15日-16日)G20 Leaders’ CommuniquéBrisbane Summit, 15-16 November 20141、促进全球增长以提高各国人民生活水平、创造高质量就业,是我们最重要的任务。
我们对一些主要经济体的更强劲增长势头表示欢迎。
但全球经济复苏依然缓慢和不均衡,未能带来我们需要的就业。
解决供给限制是释放经济增长潜力的关键,但世界经济也面临需求不足的制约。
包括金融市场和地缘政治紧张等风险依然存在。
因此,我们承诺本着伙伴关系开展工作,以促进增长、提高经济抗风险能力、加强全球机构。
1. Raising global growth to deliver better living standards and quality jobs for people across the world is our highest priority. We welcome stronger growth in some key economies. But the global recovery is slow, uneven and not delivering the jobs needed. The global economy is being held back by a shortfall in demand, while addressing supply constraints is key to lifting potential growth. Risks persist, including in financial markets and from geopolitical tensions. We commit to work in partnership to lift growth, boost economic resilience and strengthen global institutions.2、我们决心应对这些挑战,加快努力实现强劲、可持续、平衡增长并创造就业。
IAS41 International Accounting Standard41AgricultureIn April2001the International Accounting Standards Board(IASB)adopted IAS41 Agriculture,which had originally been issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee(IASC)in February2001.In December2003the IASB issued a revised IAS41as part of its initial agenda of technical projects.Other IFRSs have made minor consequential amendments to IAS41.They include IFRS9 Financial Instruments(issued November2009and October2010)and IFRS13Fair Value Measurement(issued May2011).IFRS Foundation A1221IAS41C ONTENTSfrom paragraph

International Accounting Standard41Agriculture(IAS41)is set out in paragraphs1–61.All the paragraphs have equal authority but retain the IASC format of the Standard when it was adopted by the IASB.IAS41should be read in the context of its objective and the Basis for Conclusions,the Preface to International Financial Reporting Standards and the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting.IAS8Accounting Policies,Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors provides a basis for selecting and applying accounting policies in the absence of explicit guidance.IFRS Foundation A1223IAS41IntroductionIN1IAS41prescribes the accounting treatment,financial statement presentation, and disclosures related to agricultural activity,a matter not covered in otherStandards.Agricultural activity is the management by an entity of the biologicaltransformation of living animals or plants(biological assets)for sale,intoagricultural produce,or into additional biological assets.IN2IAS41prescribes,among other things,the accounting treatment for biological assets during the period of growth,degeneration,production,and procreation,and for the initial measurement of agricultural produce at the point of harvest.It requires measurement at fair value less costs to sell from initial recognition ofbiological assets up to the point of harvest,other than when fair value cannot bemeasured reliably on initial recognition.However,IAS41does not deal withprocessing of agricultural produce after harvest;for example,processing grapesinto wine and wool into yarn.IN3There is a presumption that fair value can be measured reliably for a biological asset.However,that presumption can be rebutted only on initial recognition fora biological asset for which quoted market prices are not available and for whichalternative fair value measurements are determined to be clearly unreliable.Insuch a case,IAS41requires an entity to measure that biological asset at its costless any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.Once the fair value of such a biological asset becomes reliably measurable,anentity should measure it at its fair value less costs to sell.In all cases,an entityshould measure agricultural produce at the point of harvest at its fair value lesscosts to sell.IN4IAS41requires that a change in fair value less costs to sell of a biological asset be included in profit or loss for the period in which it arises.In agriculturalactivity,a change in physical attributes of a living animal or plant directlyenhances or diminishes economic benefits to the entity.Under atransaction-based,historical cost accounting model,a plantation forestry entitymight report no income until first harvest and sale,perhaps30years afterplanting.On the other hand,an accounting model that recognises andmeasures biological growth using current fair values reports changes in fairvalue throughout the period between planting and harvest.IN5IAS41does not establish any new principles for land related to agricultural activity.Instead,an entity follows IAS16Property,Plant and Equipment or IAS40Investment Property,depending on which standard is appropriate in thecircumstances.IAS16requires land to be measured either at its cost less anyaccumulated impairment losses,or at a revalued amount.IAS40requires landthat is investment property to be measured at its fair value,or cost less anyaccumulated impairment losses.Biological assets that are physically attached toland(for example,trees in a plantation forest)are measured at their fair valueless costs to sell separately from the land.IN6IAS41requires an unconditional government grant related to a biological asset measured at its fair value less costs to sell to be recognised in profit or loss when,and only when,the government grant becomes receivable.If a government A1224IFRS FoundationIAS41grant is conditional,including when a government grant requires an entity notto engage in specified agricultural activity,an entity should recognise thegovernment grant in profit or loss when,and only when,the conditionsattaching to the government grant are met.If a government grant relates to abiological asset measured at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and anyaccumulated impairment losses,the entity applies IAS20Accounting forGovernment Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance.IN7IAS41is effective for annual financial statements covering periods beginning on or after1January2003.Earlier application is encouraged.IN8IAS41does not establish any specific transitional provisions.The adoption of IAS41is accounted for in accordance with IAS8Accounting Policies,Changes inAccounting Estimates and Errors.IN9The illustrative examples accompanying IAS41provide examples of the application of the Standard.The Basis for Conclusions summarises the Board’sreasons for adopting the requirements set out in IAS41.IFRS Foundation A1225IAS41International Accounting Standard41AgricultureObjectiveThe objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting treatment anddisclosures related to agricultural activity.Scope1This Standard shall be applied to account for the following when they relate to agricultural activity:(a)biological assets;(b)agricultural produce at the point of harvest;and(c)government grants covered by paragraphs34and35.2This Standard does not apply to:(a)land related to agricultural activity(see IAS16Property,Plant andEquipment and IAS40Investment Property);and(b)intangible assets related to agricultural activity(see IAS38IntangibleAssets).3This Standard is applied to agricultural produce,which is the harvested product of the entity’s biological assets,only at the point of harvest.Thereafter,IAS2Inventories or another applicable Standard is applied.Accordingly,this Standarddoes not deal with the processing of agricultural produce after harvest;forexample,the processing of grapes into wine by a vintner who has grown thegrapes.While such processing may be a logical and natural extension ofagricultural activity,and the events taking place may bear some similarity tobiological transformation,such processing is not included within the definitionof agricultural activity in this Standard.4The table below provides examples of biological assets,agricultural produce,and products that are the result of processing after harvest:Biological assets Agricultural produce Products that are theresult of processingafter harvestSheep Wool Y arn,carpetFelled trees Logs,lumberTrees in a plantationforestPlants Cotton Thread,clothingHarvested cane SugarDairy cattle Milk Cheesecontinued... A1226IFRS FoundationIAS41 ...continuedBiological assets Agricultural produce Products that are theresult of processingafter harvestPigs Carcass Sausages,cured hamsBushes Leaf Tea,cured tobaccoVines Grapes WineFruit trees Picked fruit Processed fruit DefinitionsAgriculture-related definitions5The following terms are used in this Standard with the meanings specified:Agricultural activity is the management by an entity of the biologicaltransformation and harvest of biological assets for sale or for conversioninto agricultural produce or into additional biological assets.Agricultural produce is the harvested product of the entity’s biologicalassets.A biological asset is a living animal or plant.Biological transformation comprises the processes of growth,degeneration,production,and procreation that cause qualitative orquantitative changes in a biological asset.Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposalof an asset,excluding finance costs and income taxes.A group of biological assets is an aggregation of similar living animals orplants.Harvest is the detachment of produce from a biological asset or thecessation of a biological asset’s life processes.6Agricultural activity covers a diverse range of activities;for example,raising livestock,forestry,annual or perennial cropping,cultivating orchards andplantations,floriculture and aquaculture(including fish farming).Certaincommon features exist within this diversity:(a)Capability to change.Living animals and plants are capable of biologicaltransformation;(b)Management of change.Management facilitates biological transformationby enhancing,or at least stabilising,conditions necessary for the processto take place(for example,nutrient levels,moisture,temperature,fertility,and light).Such management distinguishes agricultural activityfrom other activities.For example,harvesting from unmanaged sources(such as ocean fishing and deforestation)is not agricultural activity;andIFRS Foundation A1227IAS41(c)Measurement of change.The change in quality(for example,genetic merit,density,ripeness,fat cover,protein content,and fibre strength)orquantity(for example,progeny,weight,cubic metres,fibre length ordiameter,and number of buds)brought about by biologicaltransformation or harvest is measured and monitored as a routinemanagement function.7Biological transformation results in the following types of outcomes:(a)asset changes through(i)growth(an increase in quantity orimprovement in quality of an animal or plant),(ii)degeneration(adecrease in the quantity or deterioration in quality of an animal orplant),or(iii)procreation(creation of additional living animals orplants);or(b)production of agricultural produce such as latex,tea leaf,wool,andmilk.General definitions8The following terms are used in this Standard with the meanings specified:Carrying amount is the amount at which an asset is recognised in thestatement of financial position.Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid totransfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participantsat the measurement date.(See IFRS13Fair Value Measurement.)Government grants are as defined in IAS20Accounting for GovernmentGrants and Disclosure of Government Assistance.9[Deleted]Recognition and measurement10An entity shall recognise a biological asset or agricultural produce when, and only when:(a)the entity controls the asset as a result of past events;(b)it is probable that future economic benefits associated with theasset will flow to the entity;and(c)the fair value or cost of the asset can be measured reliably.11In agricultural activity,control may be evidenced by,for example,legal ownership of cattle and the branding or otherwise marking of the cattle onacquisition,birth,or weaning.The future benefits are normally assessed bymeasuring the significant physical attributes.12A biological asset shall be measured on initial recognition and at the end of each reporting period at its fair value less costs to sell,except for thecase described in paragraph30where the fair value cannot be measuredreliably.A1228IFRS FoundationIAS4113Agricultural produce harvested from an entity’s biological assets shall be measured at its fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvest.Suchmeasurement is the cost at that date when applying IAS2Inventories oranother applicable Standard.14[Deleted]15The fair value measurement of a biological asset or agricultural produce may be facilitated by grouping biological assets or agricultural produce according tosignificant attributes;for example,by age or quality.An entity selects theattributes corresponding to the attributes used in the market as a basis forpricing.16Entities often enter into contracts to sell their biological assets or agricultural produce at a future date.Contract prices are not necessarily relevant inmeasuring fair value,because fair value reflects the current market conditionsin which market participant buyers and sellers would enter into a transaction.As a result,the fair value of a biological asset or agricultural produce is notadjusted because of the existence of a contract.In some cases,a contract for thesale of a biological asset or agricultural produce may be an onerous contract,asdefined in IAS37Provisions,Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.IAS37applies to onerous contracts.[Deleted]17–2122An entity does not include any cash flows for financing the assets,taxation,or re-establishing biological assets after harvest(for example,the cost of replantingtrees in a plantation forest after harvest).23[Deleted]24Cost may sometimes approximate fair value,particularly when:(a)little biological transformation has taken place since initial costincurrence(for example,for fruit tree seedlings planted immediatelyprior to the end of a reporting period);or(b)the impact of the biological transformation on price is not expected to bematerial(for example,for the initial growth in a30-year pine plantationproduction cycle).25Biological assets are often physically attached to land(for example,trees in a plantation forest).There may be no separate market for biological assets that areattached to the land but an active market may exist for the combined assets,thatis,the biological assets,raw land,and land improvements,as a package.An entity may use information regarding the combined assets to measure thefair value of the biological assets.For example,the fair value of raw land andland improvements may be deducted from the fair value of the combined assetsto arrive at the fair value of biological assets.IFRS Foundation A1229IAS41Gains and losses26A gain or loss arising on initial recognition of a biological asset at fair value less costs to sell and from a change in fair value less costs to sell ofa biological asset shall be included in profit or loss for the period inwhich it arises.27A loss may arise on initial recognition of a biological asset,because costs to sell are deducted in determining fair value less costs to sell of a biological asset.Again may arise on initial recognition of a biological asset,such as when a calf isborn.28A gain or loss arising on initial recognition of agricultural produce at fair value less costs to sell shall be included in profit or loss for the period inwhich it arises.29A gain or loss may arise on initial recognition of agricultural produce as a result of harvesting.Inability to measure fair value reliably30There is a presumption that fair value can be measured reliably for a biological asset.However,that presumption can be rebutted only oninitial recognition for a biological asset for which quoted market pricesare not available and for which alternative fair value measurements aredetermined to be clearly unreliable.In such a case,that biological assetshall be measured at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and anyaccumulated impairment losses.Once the fair value of such a biologicalasset becomes reliably measurable,an entity shall measure it at its fairvalue less costs to sell.Once a non-current biological asset meets thecriteria to be classified as held for sale(or is included in a disposal groupthat is classified as held for sale)in accordance with IFRS5Non-currentAssets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations,it is presumed that fairvalue can be measured reliably.31The presumption in paragraph30can be rebutted only on initial recognition.An entity that has previously measured a biological asset at its fair value lesscosts to sell continues to measure the biological asset at its fair value less costs tosell until disposal.32In all cases,an entity measures agricultural produce at the point of harvest at its fair value less costs to sell.This Standard reflects the view that the fair value ofagricultural produce at the point of harvest can always be measured reliably.33In determining cost,accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses,an entity considers IAS2,IAS16and IAS36Impairment of Assets.Government grants34An unconditional government grant related to a biological asset measured at its fair value less costs to sell shall be recognised in profit orloss when,and only when,the government grant becomes receivable.A1230IFRS FoundationIAS4135If a government grant related to a biological asset measured at its fair value less costs to sell is conditional,including when a government grantrequires an entity not to engage in specified agricultural activity,anentity shall recognise the government grant in profit or loss when,andonly when,the conditions attaching to the government grant are met.36Terms and conditions of government grants vary.For example,a grant may require an entity to farm in a particular location for five years and require theentity to return all of the grant if it farms for a period shorter than five years.Inthis case,the grant is not recognised in profit or loss until the five years havepassed.However,if the terms of the grant allow part of it to be retainedaccording to the time that has elapsed,the entity recognises that part in profitor loss as time passes.37If a government grant relates to a biological asset measured at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses(see paragraph30),IAS20is applied.38This Standard requires a different treatment from IAS20,if a government grant relates to a biological asset measured at its fair value less costs to sell or agovernment grant requires an entity not to engage in specified agriculturalactivity.IAS20is applied only to a government grant related to a biologicalasset measured at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and anyaccumulated impairment losses.Disclosure39[Deleted]General40An entity shall disclose the aggregate gain or loss arising during the current period on initial recognition of biological assets and agriculturalproduce and from the change in fair value less costs to sell of biologicalassets.41An entity shall provide a description of each group of biological assets.42The disclosure required by paragraph41may take the form of a narrative or quantified description.43An entity is encouraged to provide a quantified description of each group of biological assets,distinguishing between consumable and bearer biologicalassets or between mature and immature biological assets,as appropriate.Forexample,an entity may disclose the carrying amounts of consumable biologicalassets and bearer biological assets by group.An entity may further divide thosecarrying amounts between mature and immature assets.These distinctionsprovide information that may be helpful in assessing the timing of future cashflows.An entity discloses the basis for making any such distinctions.44Consumable biological assets are those that are to be harvested as agricultural produce or sold as biological assets.Examples of consumable biological assetsare livestock intended for the production of meat,livestock held for sale,fish infarms,crops such as maize and wheat,and trees being grown for lumber.BearerIFRS Foundation A1231IAS41biological assets are those other than consumable biological assets;for example,livestock from which milk is produced,grape vines,fruit trees,and trees fromwhich firewood is harvested while the tree remains.Bearer biological assets arenot agricultural produce but,rather,are self-regenerating.45Biological assets may be classified either as mature biological assets or immature biological assets.Mature biological assets are those that have attainedharvestable specifications(for consumable biological assets)or are able tosustain regular harvests(for bearer biological assets).46If not disclosed elsewhere in information published with the financial statements,an entity shall describe:(a)the nature of its activities involving each group of biologicalassets;and(b)non-financial measures or estimates of the physical quantities of:(i)each group of the entity’s biological assets at the end of theperiod;and(ii)output of agricultural produce during the period.47–48[Deleted]49An entity shall disclose:(a)the existence and carrying amounts of biological assets whose title isrestricted,and the carrying amounts of biological assets pledged assecurity for liabilities;(b)the amount of commitments for the development or acquisition ofbiological assets;and(c)financial risk management strategies related to agriculturalactivity.50An entity shall present a reconciliation of changes in the carrying amount of biological assets between the beginning and the end of thecurrent period.The reconciliation shall include:(a)the gain or loss arising from changes in fair value less costs to sell;(b)increases due to purchases;(c)decreases attributable to sales and biological assets classified asheld for sale(or included in a disposal group that is classified as heldfor sale)in accordance with IFRS5;(d)decreases due to harvest;(e)increases resulting from business combinations;(f)net exchange differences arising on the translation of financialstatements into a different presentation currency,and on thetranslation of a foreign operation into the presentation currencyof the reporting entity;and(g)other changes.A1232IFRS FoundationIAS4151The fair value less costs to sell of a biological asset can change due to both physical changes and price changes in the market.Separate disclosure ofphysical and price changes is useful in appraising current period performanceand future prospects,particularly when there is a production cycle of more thanone year.In such cases,an entity is encouraged to disclose,by group orotherwise,the amount of change in fair value less costs to sell included in profitor loss due to physical changes and due to price changes.This information isgenerally less useful when the production cycle is less than one year(forexample,when raising chickens or growing cereal crops).52Biological transformation results in a number of types of physical change—growth,degeneration,production,and procreation,each of which isobservable and measurable.Each of those physical changes has a directrelationship to future economic benefits.A change in fair value of a biologicalasset due to harvesting is also a physical change.53Agricultural activity is often exposed to climatic,disease and other natural risks.If an event occurs that gives rise to a material item of income or expense,thenature and amount of that item are disclosed in accordance with IAS1Presentation of Financial Statements.Examples of such an event include an outbreakof a virulent disease,a flood,a severe drought or frost,and a plague of insects.Additional disclosures for biological assets where fairvalue cannot be measured reliably54If an entity measures biological assets at their cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses(see paragraph30)at the end of the period,the entity shall disclose for such biologicalassets:(a)a description of the biological assets;(b)an explanation of why fair value cannot be measured reliably;(c)if possible,the range of estimates within which fair value is highlylikely to lie;(d)the depreciation method used;(e)the useful lives or the depreciation rates used;and(f)the gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation(aggregated with accumulated impairment losses)at thebeginning and end of the period.55If,during the current period,an entity measures biological assets at their cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairmentlosses(see paragraph30),an entity shall disclose any gain or lossrecognised on disposal of such biological assets and the reconciliationrequired by paragraph50shall disclose amounts related to suchbiological assets separately.In addition,the reconciliation shall includethe following amounts included in profit or loss related to thosebiological assets:(a)impairment losses;IFRS Foundation A1233IAS41(b)reversals of impairment losses;and(c)depreciation.56If the fair value of biological assets previously measured at their cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment lossesbecomes reliably measurable during the current period,an entity shalldisclose for those biological assets:(a)a description of the biological assets;(b)an explanation of why fair value has become reliably measurable;and(c)the effect of the change.Government grants57An entity shall disclose the following related to agricultural activity covered by this Standard:(a)the nature and extent of government grants recognised in thefinancial statements;(b)unfulfilled conditions and other contingencies attaching togovernment grants;and(c)significant decreases expected in the level of government grants. Effective date and transition58This Standard becomes operative for annual financial statements covering periods beginning on or after1January2003.Earlier application is encouraged.If an entity applies this Standard for periods beginning before1January2003,itshall disclose that fact.59This Standard does not establish any specific transitional provisions.The adoption of this Standard is accounted for in accordance with IAS8Accounting Policies,Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.60Paragraphs5,6,17,20and21were amended and paragraph14deleted by Improvements to IFRSs issued in May2008.An entity shall apply thoseamendments prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after1January2009.Earlier application is permitted.If an entity applies the amendments foran earlier period it shall disclose that fact.61IFRS13,issued in May2011,amended paragraphs8,15,16,25and30and deleted paragraphs9,17–21,23,47and48.An entity shall apply thoseamendments when it applies IFRS13.A1234IFRS Foundation。

/中华会计网校会计人的网上家园IAS 20政府补助ACCA P2 考试:IAS 20 Government GrantsIAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance considers the accounting treatment for government grants that are income-based grants and asset based. This section only considers the issues relating to asset-based grants.Accounting TreatmentThe standard allows two possible methods of accounting for asset-based grants.Present as Deferred IncomeThe grant will be presented as deferred income in the statement of finan cia l position. Deferred income is included in the liability section of the statement of financial position, split between non-current and current elements.The deferred income will be credited to profits over the life of the related asset, in the same manner in which that asset is depreciated.Deduct From Cost of AssetThe other option is to deduct the grant from the cost of the asset.The effect on profits will be the same as the previous method due to the fact that the charge for depreciation will now be based on the net cost of the asset.Granted AssetSome intangible assets may be acquired free of charge, or for nominal consideration, by way of a government grant (e.g. airport landing rights, licences to operate radio or television stations, import quotas, rights to emit pollution).Under IAS 20, both the intangible asset (debit entry) and the grant (credit entry) may be recorded initially at either fair value or cost (which may be zero).。

HKAS 20shall be read in the context of its objective, the Preface to Hong KongFinancial Reporting Statements and the Framework for the Preparationand Presentation of Financial Statements. HKAS 8 Accounting Policies,Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors provides a basis forselecting and applying accounting policies in the absence of explicitguidance.Hong Kong Accounting Standard 20Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government AssistanceScope1.This Standard shall be applied in accounting for, and in the disclosure of, governmentgrants and in the disclosure of other forms of government assistance.2. This Standard does not deal with:(a) the special problems arising in accounting for government grants in financialstatements reflecting the effects of changing prices or in supplementary information ofa similar nature;(b) government assistance that is provided for an entity in the form of benefits that areavailable in determining taxable income or are determined or limited on the basis ofincome tax liability (such as income tax holidays, investment tax credits, accelerateddepreciation allowances and reduced income tax rates);(c) government participation in the ownership of the entity; and(d) government grants covered by HKAS 41 Agriculture.Definitions3. The following terms are used in this Standard with the meanings specified:Government refers to government, government agencies and similar bodies whetherlocal, national or international.Government assistance is action by government designed to provide an economicbenefit specific to an entity or range of entities qualifying under certain criteria.Government assistance for the purpose of this Standard does not include benefitsprovided only indirectly through action affecting general trading conditions, such as theprovision of infrastructure in development areas or the imposition of trading constraintson competitors.Government grants are assistance by government in the form of transfers of resourcesto an entity in return for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to theoperating activities of the entity. They exclude those forms of government assistancewhich cannot reasonably have a value placed upon them and transactions withgovernment which cannot be distinguished from the normal trading transactions of theentity.*Grants related to assets are government grants whose primary condition is that anentity qualifying for them shall purchase, construct or otherwise acquire long-termassets. Subsidiary conditions may also be attached restricting the type or location ofthe assets or the periods during which they are to be acquired or held.Grants related to income are government grants other than those related to assets.Forgivable loans are loans which the lender undertakes to waive repayment of undercertain prescribed conditions.Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between aknowledgeable, willing buyer and a knowledgeable, willing seller in an arm's lengthtransaction.*See also HKAS-INT -10 Government Assistance – No Specific Relation to Operating Activities.4. Government assistance takes many forms varying both in the nature of the assistance givenand in the conditions which are usually attached to it. The purpose of the assistance may be to encourage an entity to embark on a course of action which it would not normally have taken ifthe assistance was not provided.5. The receipt of government assistance by an entity may be significant for the preparation of thefinancial statements for two reasons. Firstly, if resources have been transferred, an appropriate method of accounting for the transfer must be found. Secondly, it is desirable to give anindication of the extent to which the entity has benefited from such assistance during thereporting period. This facilitates comparison of an entity’s financial statements with those ofprior periods and with those of other entities.6. Government grants are sometimes called by other names such as subsidies, subventions, orpremiums.Government Grantsernment grants, including non-monetary grants at fair value, shall not be recogniseduntil there is reasonable assurance that:(a)the entity will comply with the conditions attaching to them; and(b)the grants will be received.8. A government grant is not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the entity willcomply with the conditions attaching to it, and that the grant will be received. Receipt of a grant does not of itself provide conclusive evidence that the conditions attaching to the grant havebeen or will be fulfilled.9. The manner in which a grant is received does not affect the accounting method to be adoptedin regard to the grant. Thus a grant is accounted for in the same manner whether it is received in cash or as a reduction of a liability to the government.10. A forgivable loan from government is treated as a government grant when there is reasonableassurance that the entity will meet the terms for forgiveness of the loan.11. Once a government grant is recognised, any related contingent liability or contingent asset istreated in accordance with HKAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.ernment grants shall be recognised as income over the periods necessary to matchthem with the related costs which they are intended to compensate, on a systematicbasis. They shall not be credited directly to shareholders' interests.13. Two broad approaches may be found to the accounting treatment of government grants: thecapital approach, under which a grant is credited directly to shareholders' interests, and theincome approach, under which a grant is taken to income over one or more periods.14. Those in support of the capital approach argue as follows:(a) government grants are a financing device and shall be dealt with as such in thebalance sheet rather than be passed through the income statement to offset the itemsof expense which they finance. Since no repayment is expected, they shall becredited directly to shareholders' interests; and(b) it is inappropriate to recognise government grants in the income statement, since theyare not earned but represent an incentive provided by government without relatedcosts.15. Arguments in support of the income approach are as follows:(a) since government grants are receipts from a source other than shareholders, theyshall not be credited directly to shareholders' interests but shall be recognised asincome in appropriate periods;(b) government grants are rarely gratuitous. The entity earns them through compliancewith their conditions and meeting the envisaged obligations. They shall therefore berecognised as income and matched with the associated costs which the grant isintended to compensate; and(c) as income and other taxes are charges against income, it is logical to deal also withgovernment grants, which are an extension of fiscal policies, in the income statement.16. It is fundamental to the income approach that government grants be recognised as income ona systematic and rational basis over the periods necessary to match them with the relatedcosts. Income recognition of government grants on a receipts basis is not in accordance withthe accrual accounting assumption (see HKAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements) andwould only be acceptable if no basis existed for allocating a grant to periods other than the one in which it was received.17. In most cases the periods over which an entity recognises the costs or expenses related to agovernment grant are readily ascertainable and thus grants in recognition of specific expenses are recognised as income in the same period as the relevant expense. Similarly, grants related to depreciable assets are usually recognised as income over the periods and in the proportions in which depreciation on those assets is charged.18. Grants related to non-depreciable assets may also require the fulfilment of certain obligationsand would then be recognised as income over the periods which bear the cost of meeting theobligations. As an example, a grant of land may be conditional upon the erection of a buildingon the site and it may be appropriate to recognise it as income over the life of the building. 19. Grants are sometimes received as part of a package of financial or fiscal aids to which anumber of conditions are attached. In such cases, care is needed in identifying the conditionsgiving rise to costs and expenses which determine the periods over which the grant will beearned. It may be appropriate to allocate part of a grant on one basis and part on another. 20. A government grant that becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or lossesalready incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entitywith no future related costs shall be recognised as income of the period in which itbecomes receivable.21. In some circumstances, a government grant may be awarded for the purpose of givingimmediate financial support to an entity rather than as an incentive to undertake specificexpenditures. Such grants may be confined to an individual entity and may not be available toa whole class of beneficiaries. These circumstances may warrant recognising a grant asincome in the period in which the entity qualifies to receive it, with disclosure to ensure that its effect is clearly understood.22. A government grant may become receivable by an entity as compensation for expenses orlosses incurred in a previous period. Such a grant is recognised as income of the period inwhich it becomes receivable, with disclosure to ensure that its effect is clearly understood. Non-monetary Government Grants23. A government grant may take the form of a transfer of a non-monetary asset, such as land orother resources, for the use of the entity. In these circumstances it is usual to assess the fairvalue of the non-monetary asset and to account for both grant and asset at that fair value. Analternative course that is sometimes followed is to record both asset and grant at a nominalamount.Presentation of Grants Related to Assetsernment grants related to assets, including non-monetary grants at fair value, shallbe presented in the balance sheet either by setting up the grant as deferred income orby deducting the grant in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset.25. Two methods of presentation in financial statements of grants (or the appropriate portions ofgrants) related to assets are regarded as acceptable alternatives.26. One method sets up the grant as deferred income which is recognised as income on asystematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset.27. The other method deducts the grant in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset. The grant isrecognised as income over the life of a depreciable asset by way of a reduced depreciationcharge.28. The purchase of assets and the receipt of related grants can cause major movements in thecash flow of an entity. For this reason and in order to show the gross investment in assets,such movements are often disclosed as separate items in the cash flow statement regardlessof whether or not the grant is deducted from the related asset for the purpose of balance sheet presentation.Presentation of Grants Related to Income29. Grants related to income are sometimes presented as a credit in the income statement, eitherseparately or under a general heading such as "Other income"; alternatively, they are deducted in reporting the related expense.30. Supporters of the first method claim that it is inappropriate to net income and expense itemsand that separation of the grant from the expense facilitates comparison with other expensesnot affected by a grant. For the second method it is argued that the expenses might well nothave been incurred by the entity if the grant had not been available and presentation of theexpense without offsetting the grant may therefore be misleading.31. Both methods are regarded as acceptable for the presentation of grants related to income.Disclosure of the grant may be necessary for a proper understanding of the financialstatements. Disclosure of the effect of the grants on any item of income or expense which isrequired to be separately disclosed is usually appropriate.Repayment of Government Grants32. A government grant that becomes repayable shall be accounted for as a revision to anaccounting estimate (see HKAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in AccountingEstimates and Errors). Repayment of a grant related to income shall be applied firstagainst any unamortised deferred credit set up in respect of the grant. To the extent that the repayment exceeds any such deferred credit, or where no deferred credit exists, the repayment shall be recognised immediately as an expense. Repayment of a grantrelated to an asset shall be recorded by increasing the carrying amount of the asset orreducing the deferred income balance by the amount repayable. The cumulativeadditional depreciation that would have been recognised to date as an expense in theabsence of the grant shall be recognised immediately as an expense.33. Circumstances giving rise to repayment of a grant related to an asset may requireconsideration to be given to the possible impairment of the new carrying amount of the asset. Government Assistance34. Excluded from the definition of government grants in paragraph 3 are certain forms ofgovernment assistance which cannot reasonably have a value placed upon them andtransactions with government which cannot be distinguished from the normal tradingtransactions of the entity.35. Examples of assistance that cannot reasonably have a value placed upon them are freetechnical or marketing advice and the provision of guarantees. An example of assistance thatcannot be distinguished from the normal trading transactions of the entity is a governmentprocurement policy that is responsible for a portion of the entity's sales. The existence of thebenefit might be unquestioned but any attempt to segregate the trading activities fromgovernment assistance could well be arbitrary.36. The significance of the benefit in the above examples may be such that disclosure of the nature,extent and duration of the assistance is necessary in order that the financial statements maynot be misleading.37. Loans at nil or low interest rates are a form of government assistance, but the benefit is notquantified by the imputation of interest.38. In this Standard, government assistance does not include the provision of infrastructure byimprovement to the general transport and communication network and the supply of improvedfacilities such as irrigation or water reticulation which is available on an ongoing indeterminate basis for the benefit of an entire local community.Disclosure39.The following matters shall be disclosed:(a)the accounting policy adopted for government grants, including the methods ofpresentation adopted in the financial statements;(b)the nature and extent of government grants recognised in the financialstatements and an indication of other forms of government assistance fromwhich the entity has directly benefited; and(c)unfulfilled conditions and other contingencies attaching to governmentassistance that has been recognised.40.
