Some of the students were very interested in asking questions and discussing financial accounting standards. Not a few of them want to know what are the differences between each accounting standard.
Indonesia currently applies 3 (three) Financial Accounting Standards, namely:
- General SAK (Financial Accounting Standards adopted from International Financial Report Standards)
This standard is used for entities or businesses that have public accountability, namely entities that are registered or still in the process of registering in the capital market such as public companies, insurance, banking, BUMN, or pension fund companies.
- SAK ETAP (Financial Accounting Standards for Entities Without Public Accounting)
SAK ETAP is an accounting standard that is simpler than general SAK, which includes, among others, the absence of a comprehensive income statement, the valuation for property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, and investment properties after the acquisition date only use cost.
- SAK EMKM (Micro, Small, and Medium Entities)
Intended for entities that have not been able to meet the requirements according to SAK-ETAP.
