IFRS Year End Closing

The IFRS Year End Closing process moves all unrealized market and forex balances, for each investment and instrument, to its corresponding balance sheet cost accounts, as pre-defined in the Posting Groups.

The IFRS unrealized allocation happens on the first day of the new fiscal year and once the revaluation is posted.

Notes:

  • Investment Ledger Entry’s ICY, PCY, and LCY Amounts specify the historical costs since inception.

  • Investment Ledger Entry’s IFRS ICY and IFRS LCY Amounts specify the IFRS costs.

  • Both historical and IFRS amounts are calculated in the ledgers regardless of the IFRS Average Cost activation in the Investment Ledger Setup. Nevertheless, the IFRS YE unrealized accounts write-off only occurs upon the IFRS YE closing validation.

  • The Boolean field “IFRS Close Line” in the Investment Ledger Entry can be used to easily isolate the transactions generated by the IFRS Year-End Closing Journal.

Year-End Accounting Entries

  • IFRS YE closing writes off the balance sheet unrealized market and forex accounts to the corresponding balance sheet cost accounts.

  • Standard BC YE closing writes off the income statement accounts to the balance sheet’s Retained Earnings account.
