13 Agent vs principal IAS 18 An entity is acting as a principal when it bears the significant risks and rewards associated with providing the goods or services. IFRS 15 An entity is acting as a principal when it obtains control of the goods or services prior to transfer to the customer. Different principle, but similar indicators. Sell-through approach IAS 18 Revenue is recognised when risks and rewards of ownership for a good or service have been transferred to the customer. IFRS 15 Revenue is recognised when control of a good or service is transferred to the customer. Allocation of consideration IAS 18 Little guidance existed with residual method and relative fair value being the most popular approaches. IFRS 15 Requires relative stand alone selling price method (similar to relative FV). Residual method generally not permitted. IFRS 15 Multiple-element arrangements IAS 18 Little guidance on how to determine the number of deliverables (or elements) within a contract. IFRS 15 Requires that a deliverable must be distinct in order to be separately accounted for. Cost capitalisation IAS 18 No cost capitalisation guidance so costs usually only deferred if they met the definition of an asset under IASs 2, 16, or 38. IFRS 15 More costs to obtain contracts will be capitalised as well as more costs incurred up front to the extent that they help the seller fulfil later deliverables. Consulting and service contracts IAS 18 Limited guidance for determining when revenue is recognised at a point in time or over time. IFRS 15 Detailed guidance on when to recognise revenue at a point in time or over time. Material rights IAS 18 No specific concept existed but most entities defer revenue. IFRS 15 Detailed guidance on what a material right is and requirement to defer revenue. Licences IAS 18 Little guidance existed other than the need to account for the substance. IFRS 15 Detailed guidance as to which licences transfer a right at a point in time and which grant access to IP over time. Variable consideration IAS 18 Revenue recognised to the extent it can be measured reliably, but little application guidance. IFRS 15 Where variable consideration exists the minimum amount highly probably not to lead to a significant reversal of revenue in future years must be included in the transaction price. 20/05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 13

15 New ISAs 20/05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 15
16 The International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) released new and revised auditor reporting standards that are designed to significantly enhance auditor's reports for investors and other users of financial statements. Most notable enhancement is a new requirement for auditors of listed entities' financial statements to communicate 'Key Audit Matters' that the auditor views as most significant, with an explanation of how they were addressed in the audit. The complete suite of new and revised standards consists of ISA 700 (Revised) Forming an Opinion and Reporting on Financial Statements ISA 701 Communicating Key Audit Matters in the Independent Auditor's Report ISA 570 (Revised) Going Concern ISA 705 (Revised) Modifications to the Opinion in the Independent Auditor's Report ISA 706 (Revised) Emphasis of Matter Paragraphs and Other Matter Paragraphs in the Independent Auditor's Report ISA 720 (Revised) The Auditor s Responsibilities relating to Other Information ISA 260 (Revised) Communication with Those Charged with Governance and Conforming Amendments to ISAs 210, 220, 230, 510, 540, 580, 600, and 710 The new and revised auditor reporting standards will be effective for audits of financial statements for periods ending on or after 15 December /05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 16
17 All International Standards on Auditing (ISA) audit reports, not just those for listed entities, will look different compared to current audit reports, for example: Opinion first; Affirmative statement about the auditor s independence and fulfillment of relevant ethical responsibilities; Enhanced description of the responsibilities of the auditor and key features of an audit; Enhanced description of the respective responsibilities of management and the auditor regarding going concern; Material going concern uncertainty reported in a separate section in the audit report; and Revised reporting requirements relating to other information included in an entity s annual report In addition, audit reports on listed entity financial statements will include key audit matters (KAMs) a significant change 20/05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 17
18 The new ISA 701 observes that professional judgement will be needed to determine which, and how many, key audit matters to include in the audit report. Key audit matters are selected from those matters involving significant auditor attention in the audit. The concept of significant auditor attention, the ISA says, recognizes that an audit is risk-based, and areas of significant auditor attention often relate to areas of complexity and significant management judgement in the financial statements. These are, therefore, the areas that, often involve difficult or complex auditor judgements. What descriptions of key audit matters will include: 1. Why the matter is considered to be of the most significance 2. How the mater was addressed in the audit 3. Reference to related disclosure(s) if any 4. May describe the most relevant aspects of the response, brief overview of the procedures performed 5. May also include an indication of the outcome of the procedures or any key observations 20/05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 18
19 Those matters that, in the auditor s professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the current period. KAMs are selected from matters communicated with those charged with governance. Key Audit Matters Management Letter Issues 20/05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 19

22 Stakeholders have requested earlier warning of potential issues that may exist with respect of an entity s ability to continue as a going concern The auditor s work effort on going concern has been enhanced as follows in the revised auditing standard on going concern: New guidance was added to support the auditor s evaluation of disclosures when a material uncertainty exists; A new requirement has been added for the auditor to evaluate the adequacy of disclosures in close-call situations When a material uncertainty related to going concern exists, and the auditor determines that the disclosures in the financial statements are adequate, the auditor s report will highlight this in a separate section in the auditor s report under the heading Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern (for listed entities: if this is determined to be a KAM, the KAM section of the audit report will cross refer to this section of the audit report) All auditor s reports will include descriptions of the responsibilities of the auditor and management in relation to going concern to provide an additional focus on going concern 20/05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 22
23 At its March 2015 meeting, the IAASB approved changes to ten International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) to address the audit implications of disclosures in the audit of financial statements with related conforming amendments. The changes clarify the concept of disclosures as an integral part of the financial statements and emphasize the need for auditor consideration of disclosures earlier in the audit process. Strengthened requirements and new guidance focuses on requiring the auditor to understand relevant aspects of the information system relating to information disclosed in the financial statements, identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatements in quantitative and qualitative disclosures, obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence relating to disclosures, and evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements, including their relevance and understandability. The changes are effective for audits of financial statements for periods ending on or after December 15, The amended ISAs are: ISA 200, ISA 210, ISA 240, ISA 260, ISA 300, ISA 315, ISA 320, ISA 330, ISA 450, ISA /05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 23
24 The IAASB approved ISA 800 (Revised) and ISA 805 (Revised) at its September 2015 meeting. The revised standards include limited amendments to provide clarity about how the new and revised Auditor Reporting standards apply in the context of special purpose financial statements. These amendments are not intended to substantively change the underlying premise of these engagements in accordance with the extant ISAs. ISA 800 (Revised) and ISA 805 (Revised) are effective for audits of financial statements for periods ending on or after December 15, /05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 24
25 The IAASB approved ISA 810 (Revised) at its December 2015 meeting. The limited amendments to ISA 810 (Revised) leverage the additional transparency in the auditor s report on the audited financial statements resulting from the IAASBs new and revised auditor reporting standards issued in January 2015, in particular ISA 700 (Revised), Forming an Opinion and Reporting on Financial Statements, and new ISA 701, Communicating Key Audit Matters in the Independent Auditor s Report. ISA 810 (Revised) will become effective at the same time as the auditor reporting standards addressing general purpose financial statements for engagements to report on summary financial statements for periods ending on or after December 15, /05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 25

30 Following the recommendations of the Presidential task Force on Parastatal Reforms 2013, the government committed to create the Financial Services Authority (FSA), to merge and takeover the functions of the CMA, IRA, RBA and SASRA The objectives of the bill are to: Enhance the support and efficiency and integrity of financial markets; and Protect financial customers by promoting fair treatment of financial customers by financial institutions. To achieve this objective the main tools proposed by the FSA are: 1. Market intelligence and analysis 2. Licensing 3. Conduct rules and guidance 4. Supervision for market integrity 5. Supervision for customer protection 6. Enforcement 7. Dispute resolution 8. Customer education As shown in the schematic, the FSA regulates all financial institutions (FIs) on the left-hand side of the middle row for conduct purposes. As shown in the lower row, the FSA also regulates a sub-set of these financial institutions for prudence under the sectoral laws (the Capital Markets Act, Central Depositories Act, the Insurance Act, the Retirement Benefits Act, and the Sacco Societies Act). 20/05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 30
31 The Proceed of Crime and Anti Money Laundering Act (POCAMLA) 2009, established the Financial Reporting Centre ( FRC ) - the competent authority for supervising financial institutions and designated non-financial businesses and professions. Casinos, real estate agencies, dealers in precious stones and metals and accountants are designated as Designated Non-Financial Businesses or Professions ( DNFBP ) under POCAMLA, for compliance with AML obligations. The FRC became operational in April The Act provides that reporting obligations shall apply to accountants when preparing or carrying out transactions for their clients in the following situations (section 48) Professional accountants in public practice are therefore reminded to read the act and its regulations and consult the Institute and the FRC to ensure compliance. These provision including reporting to the FRC, designation Money Laundering Reporting Officers (MLRO) etc. The Institute s practice monitoring program has also been reviewed to monitor compliance with the act. 20/05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 31

34 Learning outcomes approach is aimed at enhancing the development of professional competence needed to perform a role as a professional accountant. A learning outcomes approach integrates learning outcomes, program design, assessment activities, and governance in a process of continuous improvement An effective program is critical to the development of competent professional accountants, strengthening the quality of services they provide. 20/05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 34
35 The benefits of a learning outcomes approach for stakeholders include: Increasing the credibility of the accountancy profession; Increasing the quality of services provided by the individual; Enhancing professional growth for the individual; Increasing confidence of the individual; Providing a higher degree of accountability for the program provider and the individual; Potentially improving less effective portions of a learning and development program, increasing the time available for more critical areas; and Reducing the reputational risk, or improving the reputation, of the program provider. The Institute is working on ensuring that the CPD programs focuses on the learning outcome. 20/05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 35

40 International Education Standard (IES) 8 Professional Competence for Engagement Partners Responsible for Audit of Financial Statements (Revised) Prescribes the professional competence that professional accountants are required to develop and maintain when performing the role of an Engagement Partner responsible for audits of financial statements. IES 8 (Revised) is written for those professional accountants who are already performing the role of engagement partner, and becomes effective on July 1, IES 8 (Revised) focuses on the engagement partner, which is a role common to every audit engagement. 20/05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 40
41 It provides that it is the responsibility of the professional accountant performing the role of an engagement partner to by undertaking relevant CPD activities, which include practical experience to develop and maintain professional competence. The Institute is currently reviewing the impact on IES 8 (Revised) in its audit regulatory regime and will provide further guidance on the standard in due course. 20/05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 41
42 Issued under consideration include:- Does the current framework support the need for enhance competency for audit professionals (specifically engagement partners)? How should learning outcome approach be embedded in professional accountants in public practice CPD requirements? Should Audit be considered as a post CPA qualification? Should ICPAK initiate a mandatory certification for one to be issued with an audit license? 20/05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 42

45 In April 2016, the IPSASB published a revised Preface to International Public Sector Accounting Standards (Preface) titled Applicability of IPSAS, which change how the IPSASB communicates the type of public sector entities that it considers when developing an IPSAS or RPG. The amendments include: - Provisions on the characteristics of public sector entities for which IPSAS are designed in the revised Preface; Replacement of the term Government Based Entities (GBEs) with the term commercial public sector entities; Deletion of the definition of a GBE in IPSAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements; and Amendments on the scope section of each IPSAS and RPG by removing the paragraph that states that these pronouncements do not apply to GBEs. These amendments were brought about by different interpretations of the definition of GBE and the IPSASB believe that the principles-based approach communicates more transparently the types of public sector entities, while also enhancing consistency and understandability of the IPSASB s literature. The changes also acknowledge the role that regulators have in determining which accounting standards should be applied by different entities in their jurisdictions and ICPAK will work closely with PSASB (Kenya) in categorising public sector entities for which IFRS is applicable. 20/05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 45
46 Current IPSASB projects : Social benefits; Revenues; Non-exchange expenses; Heritage assets; Infrastructure assets; Public sector measurement; and Leases. Additionally, issues outside of the IPSASB work plan were also discussed: IPSAS lite (IPSAS for small and medium-sized entities); Tax expenditures; Natural resources accounting; Consolidation; Financial performance measures; Service performance reporting; and Implementation issues. 20/05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 46
47 Successful adoption of IPSAS in Kenya for public sector Automation of reporting templates IPPF for internal audit in the public sector Views of constituents on the work of PSASB (K) 20/05/2016 Uphold Public Interest 47
48 Unethical business practices harm organizations and economies. Large-scale business failures such as Enron as well as the more recent failures related to the global financial crisis highlight the consequences of unethical business practices and amoral management. Professional accountants, as stewards of transparency and trust, and subject to a professional code of ethics, have a key role to play not only in upholding but in encouraging and influencing ethical behaviour and decision making within their organisations.
