Third Global IFRS Banking Survey — Still far from land?
07 Jan, 2013
Deloitte has issued its ‘Third Global IFRS Banking Survey – Still far from land?’. The survey highlights the views of 70 of the world’s major banking groups and global systemically important financial institutions (G-SIFIs) on accounting change.
Key findings are:
- Whilst there is still significant support for the convergence process amongst banks, the majority surveyed consider the IASB and FASB are no longer on track to achieve this;
- Banks are putting their implementation efforts on standby as the process continues to be subject to delay;
- There is uncertainty about the ultimate outcome of financial instruments accounting change with an increase in the number of banks considering that the new requirements cannot be implemented in a way that will increase comparability between banks internationally; and
- The capital and pricing impacts of changes such as impairment, debt valuation adjustments and the treatment of liquidity portfolios will be significant.
