The main goals to fully implement the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) on 2012
in Indonesia are getting nearer due to the hard works that have been done by Dewan Standar
Akuntansi Keuangan (DSAK). On April 21, 2009 the adaptation of PSAK 1 (1998) to the new IAS
1 (2009) about Presentation of Financial Statement have finished and comes with Exposure Draft
PSAK 1 (revision 2009) as the result.
The standard of Presentation of Financial Statement in Indonesia will be based on the new ED
PSAK 1 (2009) starting on January 1, 2011. From that time, the old standard will not be valid
anymore.
Many things are significantly different at this new standard and others are just the ordinary
adaptation to the local situation and language. In this chapter we will discuss more about the
short differences between PSAK 1 (1998) and ED PSAK 1 (2009) about Presentation of Financial
Statement.
Compliance to SAK
Deviation from SAK
Timeliness of financial statement report
Components of financial statements
Component of income statement
Comparative financial statement
Non-controlling interest
Extraordinary items
Gain/loss from revaluation of fixed asset
Actuarial gain/loss
Compliance to SAK
PSAK 1 (1998) do not stated explicitly about the requirement of an entity to make a compliance
statement on notes to financial statement that its financial statement has been complied with
SAK. The new standard, ED PSAK 1 (2009), has been set up specifically to this issue.
Entities whose financial statements comply with SAK have to made a statement explicitly and
without exception concerning compliance with SAK in the notes to financial statements. Entities
should not be mentioned that the financial statements comply with SAK unless the financial
statements comply with all required under SAK.
Compliance statement has to be made if and only if the financial statement of the entity has been
complied with all requirements under SAK. If they did without the compliances, it will take effect
on the opinion of the financial statement.
In very rare circumstances when management concludes that compliance with a provision in a
SAK would give the wrong understanding that would conflict with the objectives of financial
statements as stipulated in Kerangka Dasar Penyusunan dan Penyajian Laporan Keuangan, so
entities deviate from the provision in a way that specified in paragraph 18 if the relevant
regulations do not require or prohibit such deviations.
Entities can deviate from the provision in SAK if and only if the management concludes that it
would give the wrong understanding that would conflict with the objectives of financial statements.
In other way, deviations from SAK permitted if compliance to SAK is contrary to financial
statement purposes in Kerangka Dasar Penyusunan dan Penyajian Laporan Keuangan
(Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements).
More details about what things that have to be disclosed etc are explained on ED PSAK 1 (2009)
paragraph 18-22.
The terms “Neraca” (balance sheet in Bahasa Indonesia) have changed into “Laporan Posisi
Keuangan”.
The ordinary income statement has changed and becomes comprehensive income statement.
This will take effect to the presentation of net income. It is quite different from the ordinary income
statement.
The component of financial statement are the same with PSAK 1 (1998) plus one component
which is: the comparative beginning period of balance sheet due to the application of
retrospective, restatement of balance sheet, or reclassification of posts of financial statements.
Component of Comprehensive Income Statement
ED PSAK 1 (2009) paragraph 80 said:
Comprehensive Income Statement, at least include the presentation of the following items during
a period:
a) Revenues;
b) Financial expenses;
c) Part of income from associates and joint venture which recorded using the equity method;
d) Tax expenses;
g) Each component of Other Comprehensive Income that are classified in accordance with the
characteristics (other than amount in item h));
h) Part of Other Comprehensive Income from associates and joint venture which recorded using
the equity method; and
The old PSAK 1 (1998) paragraph 56 stated the same component of Income Statement like
above except for point b), e), and h) plus extraordinary items which prohibited based on ED
PSAK 1 (2009), minority rights (non-controlling rights) which will be presented in income from
current period based on ED PSAK 1 (2009).
Entities which disclose comparative information present at least two balance sheet, two reports
for each type of other reports, and notes to financial statements. If an entity applies the
accounting policy retrospectively or makes a retrospective restatement of items in the financial
statements or has reclassified items in the financial statements, the entity presents at least three
balance sheet, two reports for each type of other reports, and notes to financial statement.
Non-Controlling Interest
At least there are three important things that should be noticed by us in this new ED PSAK 1
(2009) that are different from PSAK 1 (1998).
The terms “Hak Minoritas” (Minority Rights) has changed into “Hak Non-Pengendali” (Non-
Controlling Rights).
In the Balance Sheet, non-controlling rights are presented in equity section while the old PSAK 1
(1998) said that non-controlling rights are presented separately in liability and equity section. See
ED PSAK 1 (2009) paragraph 52 and PSAK 1 (1998) paragraph 53 for more details.
In Income Statement and Comprehensive Income Statement, net income allocated to the equity
owners of the parent entity and non-controlling rights while the old PSAK 1 (1998) said that
minority rights (non-controlling rights) in profit or loss is presented as a deduction from net profit.
See ED PSAK 1 (2009) paragraph 81 and PSAK 1 (1998) paragraph 56.
Extraordinary Items
While the old PSAK 1 (revision 1998) paragraph 56 still allow to present revenue or expense as
an extraordinary items in income statement, under ED PSAK 1 (revision 2009) the extraordinary
items are prohibited.
Entities are not allowed to present the posts of revenues and expenses as extraordinary items in
the comprehensive income statement, a separate income statement (if presented), or in the notes
to financial statements.
Actuarial Gain/Loss
In ED PSAK 1 (2009), actuarial gain/loss are presented in Other Comprehensive Income section
in Comprehensive Income Statement. See ED PSAK 1 (2009) paragraph 94 for more details.
C. Conclusion
ED PSAK 1 (2009) about Presentation of Financial Statement and its adaptation with IAS 1
(2009) have created several significant differences from the previous standard, PSAK 1 (1998).
The different such as Comprehensive Income Statement, prohibition of Extraordinary Items, new
rules about compliance to SAK, etc should and have to obey by all of us, especially for
accountant and financial auditor.
