Financial structure, management and reporting11 © 2013 ZAO Deloitte & Touche CIS or © 2013 Deloitte & Touche Regional Consulting Services Limited IFRS Reporting (cont’d) Entities continue to operate their financial reporting from a tax perspective rather than from a business perspective. Tax should be an outcome rather than a driver of business Implementing IFRS is a process that requires change and the ongoing operations require people to change the way that they work on a day to day basis Companies in transition economies, like Azerbaijan, typically change very little in terms of their day to day operations when implementing IFRS and rely on a periodic transformation exercise of the “IFRS reporting” department to do the work. As a result they struggle to get timely, relevant information and are very reliant on 1 or 2 people in the organisation to get the information together. This has its own risk when these people are in high demand and it is easy for the company’s “history” to be lost when these people change employment.
