5 The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) is currently in a joint project with the Accounting Standards

Board (ASB) in the UK and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the USA in the area of reporting

financial performance/comprehensive income. The main focus of the project is the development of a single statement

of comprehensive income to replace the income statement and statement of changes in equity. The objective is to

analyse all income and expenses and categorise them in a way that increases users’ understanding of the results of

an entity and assists in forming expectations of future income and expenditure. There seems to be some consensus

that the performance statement should be divided into three components being the results of operating activities,

financing and treasury activities, and other gains and losses.

Required:

(a) Describe the reasons why the three accounting standards boards have decided to cooperate and produce a

single statement of financial performance. (8 marks)

to small and medium entities (SMEs).

are mainly full-time employees.

3 At a recent international meeting of business leaders, Seamus O’Brien said that multi-ju
risdictional attempts to

regulate corporate governance were futile because of differences in national culture. He drew particular attention to

the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and International Corporate Governance

Network (ICGN) codes, saying that they were, ‘silly attempts to harmonise practice’. He said that in some countries,

for example, there were ‘family reasons’ for making the chairman and chief executive the same person. In other

countries, he said, the separation of these roles seemed to work. Another delegate, Alliya Yongvanich, said that the

roles of chief executive and chairman should always be separated because of what she called ‘accountability to

shareholders’.

One delegate, Vincent Viola, said that the right approach was to allow each country to set up its own corporate

governance provisions. He said that it was suitable for some countries to produce and abide by their own ‘very

structured’ corporate governance provisions, but in some other parts of the world, the local culture was to allow what

he called, ‘local interpretation of the rules’. He said that some cultures valued highly structured governance systems

while others do not care as much.

Required:

(a) Explain the roles of the chairman in corporate governance. (5 marks)
