International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 6

[Adam Fleming]

The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) standards are a set of standards pertaining to different industries and their activities and practices. IFRS 6 relates to guidance in the accounting practices of the extractive industries, such as oil, mining and gas. The IFRS 6 accounting standard states the requirements, as well as the disclosures that need to go into accounting practices for expenses that a company incurs during the course of exploring and evaluating expenditures.

Till the enactment of the IFRS 6, regulations on the accounting practices of the extractive industries were fragmented and piecemeal. The major change the IFRS 6 brought about it is that it consolidated these practices. Also, with the passage of IFRS 6, entities that were using accounting practices for exploration and evaluation assets that were in use prior to the enactment of the IFRS 6 could integrate these earlier practices with the provisions of the IFRS 6.

Core accounting requirements

One of its core requirements is that of the issuance of IFRS compliant financial statements by companies that have assets used for exploration and evaluation of mineral resources.

So, it is imperative for accounting professionals to have full knowledge of the IFRS 6. Working with the oil, mining or gas areas in companies that have assets that are used for exploration and valuation of mineral resources and being successful entails having to comply with the requirements set out by the IFRS 6.
