Nepal Financial Reporting Standards (‘NFRS’) are designed as a common global language for business affairs so that company accounts are understandable and comparable within Nepal. The rules to be followed by accountants to maintain books of accounts which is comparable, understandable, reliable and relevant as per the users internal or external.
In Nepal, Accounting Standards are developed by the Accounting Standards Board (ASB). The ASB came into existence on 10 March 2003 as per the provisions of Nepal Chartered Accountants Act, 1997. ASB had earlier issued Nepal Accounting Standard (NAS) in line with IAS and with the gradual replacement of IAS by updated IFRS, the board has now issued NFRS on basis of recent international financial reporting standards (IFRS)
NFRSs are designed to apply to the general purpose financial statements and other financial reporting of profit-oriented entities. NFRSs sets out recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements dealing with transactions and events that are important in general purpose financial statements. NFRSs are based on the Conceptual Framework which addresses the concepts underlying the information presented in general purpose financial statements.
Nepal Rastra Bank has made it mandatory for A class Banks to prepare their Financial Statements from F/Y 2074 /75 and for B and C class from F/Y 2075/76 in accordance with NFRS. Hence, a practical understanding of the NFRS would be an added advantage for employees involved in Finance, Accounting, Internal Audit and Compliance department/unit. To cater to this need we have planned extensively to impart understanding on related NFRS to the working staffs of the concerned areas.
