Introduction
Financial Statements of a company is the presentation of Company\'s performance while abiding
with the rules and regulations of that country. Even these financial Statements are prepared in the
same format as prescribed in the Acts of that country.
Like every country, Hongkong goverment has also prescribed certain rules for presentation of
Financial statements.
Any change in the legal, financial or regulatory policy of a country impacts the business as a
whole in the same country which obviously be depicted in the financial statements of that
country.
Financial reporting framework in Hong Kong
\'One Country, Two Systems\'
Like other aspects of Hong Kong culture and economics, accounting in the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region (SAR) is a clear example of the \"one country, two systems\" philosophy
that sets it apart from Mainland China.
Mandatory sources of GAAP
There are both mandatory and advisory sources of generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) in Hong Kong. Mandatory sources are the following:
Other sources of GAAP
Hong Kong Accounting Standard 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and
Errors (HKAS 8, which is identical to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting
Estimates and Errors) states:
10. In the absence of a Standard or an Interpretation that specifically applies to a transaction,
other event or condition, management shall use its judgement in developing and applying an
accounting policy that results in information that is:
11. In making the judgement described in paragraph 10, management shall refer to, and consider
the applicability of, the following sources in descending order:
12. In making the judgement described in paragraph 10, management may also consider the most
recent pronouncements of other standard-setting bodies that use a similar conceptual framework
to develop accounting standards, other accounting literature* and accepted industry practices, to
the extent that these do not conflict with the sources in paragraph 11.
*In the context of Hong Kong, other accounting literature includes Accounting Guidelines and
Accounting Bulletins.
The Accounting Guidelines and Accounting Bulletins referred to in the footnote to paragraph 12
of HKAS 8 (above) are \'best practice\' guidance documents that have been published by the
HKICPA to assist its members in applying HKFRSs. Accounting Guidelines, and Industry
Accounting Guidelines, are persuasive in intent and, whilst not mandatory, should normally be
followed. Accounting Bulletins are intended to assist members of the HKICPA in dealing with
accounting issues and to stimulate debate on subjects of topical interest.
TechWatch is a monthly publication prepared by the HKICPA to alert HKICPA members to
topics and issues that impact on accountants and their working environment. It is intended for
general guidance only.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

ACCOUNTING
REGULATION FOR
COMPANIES
Seven things an investor should
know about accounting regulation for
companies in Colombia:
1. In Colombia, all companies
that carry out commercial acts
must keep their accounting
under the technical accounting
frameworks in force in the
country, which are based on
the International Financial
Reporting Standards issued
by the IASB1
(NIIFs for its
acronym in Spanish and IFRS
for its acronym in English).
Although Colombia’s technical
accounting frameworks are
based on IFRS, some provisions
of IFRS are not applied in
Colombia.
2. Within the local technical
accounting frameworks,
there are three different set
of rules depending on the
characteristics of the entity: (i)
Group 1 Technical Framework
based on IFRS, which applies
generally to large companies,
financial corporations and
insurance companies; (ii) Group
2 Technical Framework, based
on IFRS for SMEs, which applies
generally to entities that do
not belong to Group 1 or Group
3 and (iii) Group 3 Technical
Framework is applicable to
Micro companies, which are
those whose annual revenue
from ordinary activities is
less than or equal to certain
amounts that depend on the
sector to which the company
belongs. (Decree 2420 of 2015).
3. At the end of each financial
year and at least once a year,
companies shall close their
books to prepare general
purpose financial statements,
the cutoff date will be
December 31st. The financial
statements must be signed by
a Certified Public Accountant
or the statutory auditor,
depending on the Company
and such statements shall be
disseminated together with
the corresponding professional
opinion, if any, or if the
company is required to have
one (Art. 34 of Law 222 of 1995).

4. The legal representative is
required to sign and submit
the general-purpose financial
statements. These are
normally used by the highest
corporate body to support
some of its decisions, and it
is mandatory to disclose the
results of the period and/or the
retained profits (Art. 151 of the
Commercial Code).
5. For tax purposes, according to
the Tax Statute, the accounting
of a company is the starting
point for the determination of
assets, liabilities, income, costs,
and deductions for income tax
purposes. However, the tax law
establishes some exceptions
to determine the realization
of income, costs, deductions,
etc. For instance, fair value
adjustments, provisions and
equity method do not generate
income, costs, or income tax
deductions.
6. Colombia has also adopted
the International Standards
on Auditing that apply to
those who perform audits and
statutory audit work (Decree
2420 of 2015).
7. In Colombia there is an
institution known as the
Statutory Auditor, exercised
by an accountant and has
additional obligations
besides the audit of financial
statements. For example, the
statutory auditor must certify
some tax returns, review and
report possible irregularities
that occur in the operation
of the company and in the
development of its business,
ensure that the company’s
assets are preserved.
Joint stock companies, branches of foreign
companies and those companies with
more than 5,000 SMMLV2
of gross assets
or 3,000 SMMLV of income are required
to have a Statutory Auditor, although
they may also be designated voluntarily
by any company.
13.1. Regulatory Generalities
In Colombia, Law 1314 of 2009 established
that companies must apply the globally
accepted international financial reporting
standards.
For income tax purposes, the tax
regulations refer to the accounting bases;
however, accounting regulations are
independent from tax regulations and
from other legal regulations unrelated to
accounting. This is with the purpose that
the financial information in Colombia
reflects the economic essence of the
transactions.
On another note, as development of
this law, regulations have been issued in
accounting and information assurance
matters, which are compiled in the Decree
2420 of 2015 and the other decrees that
have added or modified it3
.
Every year, accounting standards in
Colombia are updated with some of the
changes established by the IASB for IFRS.
The changes established by the IASB
would only be applicable in Colombia if

they are stablished through the issuance
of a decree.
13.2. Accounting frameworks
applicable in Colombia
As indicated in previous paragraphs,
companies and other entities in Colombia
would generally apply one of three
accounting frameworks: IFRS, IFRS for
SMEs (small and medium companies), and
the regulatory technical framework for
financial reporting for micro-enterprises.
In addition to these frameworks,
companies and entities in a liquidation
process or in imminent liquidation (i.e.,
in terms of their accounting framework
for entities that do not meet the going
concern assumption), must apply a
special technical accounting framework,
which is regulated by the Decree 2101
of 2016; this framework is known as the
Accounting Framework for Entities that do
not meet the going concern assumption.
Inordertoidentifywhichoftheaccounting
frameworks is applicable to a company or
entity, the company must meet certain
characteristics and/or parameters
established by the regulations and report
at the time of the company’s creation.
13.3. IFRS in force in Colombia to date
To date, the Full IFRS in Spanish issued
up to January 1st of 2020 by the IASB4
and
the IFRS for SMEs in their 2015 version
have been incorporated in Colombia
through regulatory decrees5
. However,
the IASB has issue other documents that
Colombia has not adopted yet, hence
there could be differences between the
financial statements of a Colombian
company and a company from another
country.
13.4. Reporting of financial information
to supervisory and control bodies
Annually, the entities under inspection,
surveillance and control of the competent
authorities must report their separate,
individual, and consolidated financial
statements to the authorities. This report
must be made between April and June of
each year.
