IFRS transformation of financial statements for investors, banks and group reporting

We take your Ukrainian GAAP statements and turn them into a full IFRS set: statement of financial position, comprehensive income, cash flows, changes in equity and notes. Your accountant keeps the books as before.

You receive the statements in Ukrainian and English with adjustment worksheets. They can go to the parent, a bank, an investor or a donor, and the group auditor can trace every figure.

Who needs it

Four situations where IFRS is unavoidable

Subsidiary of a foreign group

The parent asks for an IFRS package for consolidation every year or quarter, in its own format and to its own deadlines.

Loan, investor or sale

A foreign bank, fund or buyer reads IFRS. Ukrainian forms without explanation will not do.

Legal requirement

Entities under Article 12-1 of the Accounting Law prepare IFRS statements and file them in iXBRL format.

Donor or NGO head office

When an international donor or head office asks for statements under international standards alongside the project audit.

What changes on conversion

Adjustments that come up almost every time

Ukrainian standards are close to IFRS, but measurement and recognition differ in familiar places. This is where we look first.

Leases, IFRS 16

Leased offices, warehouses and vehicles go on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

Receivables, IFRS 9

Expected credit loss allowance instead of a doubtful debts provision, plus measurement of loans and financial instruments.

PPE, IAS 16 and 36

Useful lives, components, fair value revaluation and impairment testing.

Deferred tax, IAS 12

Every adjustment changes temporary differences, so deferred tax is recalculated last, across the whole set.

Revenue, IFRS 15

Long contracts, bundles of goods and services, customer bonuses and rebates follow the five-step model.

Provisions, IAS 37 and 19

Holiday pay, bonuses, warranty and litigation obligations that are often not accrued under Ukrainian GAAP.

First IFRS year

Why the first conversion takes longer

01Transition date

Under IFRS 1 it is the start of the earliest comparative period. For 2026 statements with one comparative year that is 1 January 2025.

02Opening balance sheet

We prepare an IFRS balance sheet at the transition date and choose the permitted exemptions, such as deemed cost for PPE.

03Reconciliations

We show how equity and profit differ between Ukrainian GAAP and IFRS. Later periods are faster because the method and worksheets are in place.

Service options

One-off, recurring or IFRS books from the start

One-off conversion

A full year set with notes and worksheets. For a deal, a loan or a group’s first request.

Recurring conversion

Quarterly or annual packages on one method, in the parent’s format and timetable.

IFRS bookkeeping

When statements are needed monthly, IFRS bookkeeping costs less than converting every time.

FAQ

What clients ask most often

What is IFRS transformation of financial statements?

Restating statements prepared under Ukrainian GAAP into IFRS through adjustments: recognition and measurement of assets, provisions, leases, financial instruments, deferred tax and note disclosures. The books themselves stay on Ukrainian rules.

How long does a one-year conversion take?

For a company with orderly books, usually 3 to 5 weeks after we receive the trial balance, breakdowns and contracts. The first year takes longer because of the opening balance and policies; later periods are faster.

How does conversion differ from parallel IFRS bookkeeping?

Conversion is done at the reporting date from finished Ukrainian statements. Parallel bookkeeping runs continuously under both standards. For most companies conversion is simpler; parallel books make sense when statements are needed monthly.

Can you convert the statements and audit them as well?

No. Independence rules do not allow the firm that prepared the statements to audit them. We prepare them so your auditor or the group auditor can accept them, and we walk the auditor through every adjustment.

In what language are the statements prepared?

Ukrainian and English. Where useful we add a reconciliation to the Ukrainian GAAP figures so your accountant can see where each adjustment comes from.

Can several years be converted at once?

Yes. This often happens before a sale or when a group first asks for historical figures. We start from the earliest transition date and move year by year so balances roll forward correctly.

Does a non-profit need IFRS conversion?

Only if the donor or head office asks for statements under international standards. Most donors only need a project audit to their own terms.
