Era (1610–1942) • The first recorded accounting regulation was issued in 1642 by the Dutch Governor General of the Netherlands East Indies. • The regulation governed the administration of cash receipts and receivables Sukarno Era (1945–1966) • U.S. academics filled the positions left vacant by the Dutch, and U.S. accounting and auditing practices were introduced. Both Dutch and U.S. accounting practices were used concurrently. • The Indonesian Institute of Accountants (IIA) was established in 1957 to guide and coordinate the activities of accountants. Accounting Developments in Indonesia – Cont’d ERA Suharto Era (1966–1998) The Developments • There was a transfer of accounting knowledge and skills from the head offices of foreign firms directly to their Indonesian employees and indirectly through their business activities • In 1973, IIA adopted a set of accounting principles, auditing standards and a code of professional conduct. The accounting principles were based on the accounting guidelines published by AICPA in 1965 • A new set of IAS-based accounting standards were adopted in 1995 Post-Suharto Era (post 1998) • Regulations are tightened to improve financial disclosure Millenium Era • IFRS Convergency Indonesia’s Financial Accounting Standard Evolution Untill 1973 1973-1984 1984-1994 Sept, 1994 June, 2002 2008 • Indonesia was acquiring the Early Dutch Accounting, Dutch-based legislation and accounting requirements. • IIA ( Indonesian Institute of Accountant( espoused the U.S GAAP framework. • Revised to coverage the developments of U.S GAAP • IIA adopting International Accounting Standard (IAS) as the benchmark point of the Indonesian standard that called PSAK ( Pernyataan Standard Akuntansi Keuangan). • PSAK were improved and refined, PASK is using principle-based rather than the U.S GAAP • PSAK convergence with IFRS IFRS Convergence IFRS Convergence Phase 2 and Beyond After 1st phase of IFRS Complete in 2012, IASB begun the 2nd phase in 2013 – 2014 The 2nd phase, however... ITS NOT A FINAL STAGE OF IFRS Some IFRS / IFRIC still hasn’t yet adopted and IASB still develop IFRS in a rapid sequence The Gap Must Be Narrow...But It Still... 1st Phase of Convergence (3 years Gap) PSAK (SFAS) 2012 IFRS/ IAS 1 Jan 2009 2nd Phase of Convergence (1 year Gap) PSAK (SFAS) 2015 IFRS/IAS 1 Jan 2014 3rd and so on.....phase (No Gap) ????? ????? Challenges of IFRS Convergence • How do we ensure adequate resources to prepare for convergence to IFRS? • How will we achieve the targeted date for reporting under IFRS? • How will the IFRS convergence affect accounting financial system? • How will the IFRS convergence affect other aspects of organisation management, e.g. budgeting, performance measurement, compliance with covenants on financial ratios, etc.? • How do we explain the differences of financials prepared under IFRS to the stakeholders, especially when there are significant differences that affect the key performance items, such as revenues, earnings, financial ratios, etc.? Indonesia’s Commitment Towards Converging Into IFRS • The general approach taken by Indonesia with regard to the IFRS convergence process is to gradually converge the local standards with IFRSs, starting with minimizing the significant differences between the two • Indonesia intends to analyze the readiness of industry and other constituents in implementing the first wave of standards resulting from the convergence process before developing the next wave of new standards. • Indonesia aims to provide a sufficient transitional period of 3 to 4 years for new standards while minimizing any gaps between the effective dates of new IFRSs and new Indonesian standards Indonesia Accounting Education and Curriculum Level of Accounting Education in Indonesia Vocation School in Accounting (
