IFRS Compared to Russian GAAP: An Overview (September 2005)
The purpose of this publication is to assist you in understanding the differences between the accounting principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Russian Accounting Principles (Russian GAAP or RAP). This publication is a brief summary of the key provisions of IFRSs, contrasted with the parallel requirements of Russian GAAP. However this document does not describe fully the significant differences.
The focus of this publication is on recognition, measurement and presentation, rather than on disclosure; therefore disclosure differences generally are not covered. However, areas that are disclosure-based, such as segment reporting, are included.
This publication reflects all standards and interpretations issued at 31 December 2004. In the context of this publication, "currently effective" means applicable to financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2005. When a significant change will occur as a result of a standard or interpretation that has been issued at 31 December 2004, but which is not required to be adopted at 1 Januray 2005, the impact of these forthcoming requirements is discussed.

The focus of this publication is on recognition, measurement and presentation rather than disclosure; therefore disclosure differences generally are not covered. However, areas that are disclosure-based, such as segment reporting, are included.
