Criminals like Pablo Escobar and ElChapo earn their money through crimes and get their money put into the system through money laundering. So, money laundering is getting dirty money cleaned and put into the system, making it seem like clean money. Dirty money Dirty money is something acquired through illegal means. People who get dirty money cannot show it to the authorities, or they will catch them. Cleaning of dirty money To get dirty money in the bank accounts, they must make it seem clean or legally acquired. Hence, the dirty money gets cleaned. Clean money There are many ways through which one can clean such dirty money. Once cleaned, the money is clean and can be put back into the system without tracing its origins. (Explained in detail in the video) Why is money laundering is bad? Encourages criminals to keep going Once criminals know that their dirty money can be cleaned and put back into the system as clean money, they realize there are no consequences to what they do. Hence, they continue their crimes. Harms the society These criminal activities are only harming society and putting loads of money into the pockets of the criminals. Harms the economy Any harm to society will directly harm the economy. Money laundering covers tax frauds, embezzlements, theft, and other illegal economic activities. (Explained in detail in the video) Stages of money laundering Placement The dirty money is first transferred into a bank account, mostly abroad, in those banks with very strict privacy policies. Layering The money is then divided into chunks and sent into accounts in various countries to make it hard to track by authorities. Integration The money must be brought back into the system and shown as legal. This is done by setting up a business with high cash flow on paper, and the money can be made legal through such tactics.

IFRS VS GAAP | Part-8 (3) Accounting Series [Video]

The IFRS vs GAAP refers to two accounting standards and principles adhered to by countries in the world in relation to financial reporting. More than 140 countries follow the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which encourages uniformity in preparing financial statements.On the other hand, the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) are created by the Financial Accounting Standards Board to guide public companies in the United States when compiling their annual financial statements.The primary difference between the two systems is that GAAP is rules-based and IFRS is principles-based. This disconnect manifests itself in specific details and interpretations. Basically, IFRS guidelines provide much less overall detail than GAAP. Consequently, the theoretical framework and principles of the IFRS leave more room for interpretation and may often require lengthy disclosures on financial statements.1. Treatment of inventoryOne of the key differences between these two accounting standards is the accounting method for inventory costs. Under IFRS, the LIFO (Last in First out) method of calculating inventory is not allowed. Under the GAAP, either the LIFO or FIFO (First in First out) method can be used to estimate inventory.The reason for not using LIFO under the IFRS accounting standard is that it does not show an accurate inventory flow and may portray lower levels of income than is the actual case. On the other hand, the flexibility to use either FIFO or LIFO under GAAP allows companies to choose the most convenient method when valuing inventory.2. Intangibles AssetsThe treatment of developing intangible assets through research and development is also different between IFRS vs GAAP standards. Under IFRS, costs in the research phase are expensed as incurred. Costs in the development phase may be capitalized based on certain factors. On the other hand, GAAP generally requires immediate expensing of both research and development expenditures, although some exceptions exist.3. Rules vs. PrinciplesThe other distinction between IFRS and GAAP is how they assess the accounting processes – i.e., whether they are based on fixed rules or principles that allow some space for interpretations. Under GAAP, the accounting process is prescribed highly specific rules and procedures, offering little room for interpretation. The measures are devised as a way of preventing opportunistic entities from creating exceptions to maximize their profits.On the contrary, IFRS sets forth principles that companies should follow and interpret to the best of their judgement. Companies enjoy some leeway to make different interpretations of the same situation.4. Recognition of revenueWith regards to how revenue is recognized, IFRS is more general, as compared to GAAP. The latter starts by determining whether revenue has been realized or earned, and it has specific rules on how revenue is recognized across multiple industries.The guiding principle is that revenue is not recognized until the exchange of a good or service has been completed. Once a good’s been exchanged and the transaction recognized and recorded, the accountant must then consider the specific rules of the industry in which the business operates.Conversely, IFRS is based on the principle that revenue is recognized when the value is delivered. It groups all transactions of revenues into four categories, i.e., the sale of goods, construction contracts, provision of services, or use of another entity’s assets. 5. Classification of liabilitiesWhen preparing financial statements based on the GAAP accounting standards, liabilities are classified into either current or non-current liabilities, depending on the duration allotted for the company to repay the debts.Debts that the company expects to repay within the next 12 months are classified as current liabilities, while debts whose repayment period exceeds 12 months are classified as long-term liabilities.However, there is no plain distinction between liabilities in IFRS, so short-term and long-term liabilities are grouped together.#accounting #inventory #businessbookplus #accountingprinciples #standards #GenerallyAcceptedAccountingPrinciples #ifrs #gaap #indas #technix #technixindia #technixtechnology #bbplus
