The Wild Safari Company Case Study
The case study from which this case study is derived benefited greatly from the feedback and comments from people
attending a series of workshops on the Framework-based approach to teaching International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) organized by the IFRS Foundation and others and from peer review by a number of anonymous
reviewers.
Background
Company A PLC is a company listed on the London Stock Exchange. The company has operated successfully in the
manufacturing sector for more than twenty years and for many years has prepared its financial statements in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Although Company A presents its financial
statements in British Pounds (£), its functional currency is the Euro (€).
In 20X0 Company A’s board of directors decide to expand Company A’s operations into new types of business and
into a geographical location in which it currently does not operate—Sub-Saharan Africa. Accordingly, management
selects a number of activities in Southern Africa to be carried out as part of a ten-year diversification plan. The
company appoints James and Judith Dowling to manage its African operations, under the brand name The Wild
Safari Company (Wild Safari). Wild Safari prepares financial statements in compliance with the IFRS for Small and
Medium-sized Entities (SMEs).
Events in 20X0–20X2
On 2 January 20X0, Company A incorporates a wholly-owned separate legal entity, Wild Safari, in the Republic of
Africania (Africania) by contributing £10,000,000 to form Wild Safari’s permanent capital.
