As noted in the chapter, under IFRS the term “Reserves” is
often used to describe equity accounts other than those
arising from contributed capital. This most commonly
includes comprehensive incomes (such as revaluation
surplus and fair value differences) but is also sometimes
used for retained earnings. GAAP has always discouraged
the use of the term “Reserves” in any context. Under GAAP,
comprehensive income items are reported in the equity
section of the statement of financial position in a line
labeled accumulated other comprehensive income.

As an example of how similar transactions use different
terminology under GAAP, consider the accounting for the
issuance of 1,000 shares of $1 par value ordinary shares for
$5 per share. Under IFRS, the credit accounts would be
Share Capital—Ordinary and Share Premium—Ordinary.
Under GAAP, the entry is as follows.
Cash 5,000
Common Stock 1,000
Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par 4,000

A major difference between IFRS and GAAP relates to the
account Revaluation Surplus. Revaluation Surplus arises
under IFRS because companies are permitted to revalue
their property, plant, and equipment to fair value under
certain circumstances. This account is part of general
reserves under IFRS and is not considered contributed
capital.
IFRS sometimes uses terms such as retained profits or
accumulated profit or loss to describe retained earnings.
The term retained earnings is also often used, as is the
custom, under GAAP.

The IASB and the FASB are currently working on a project
related to financial statement presentation. An important part of
this study is to determine whether certain line items, subtotals,
and totals should be clearly defined and required to be
displayed in the financial statements. For example, it is likely
that the statement of shareholders’ equity and its presentation
will be examined closely. It is interesting to note that, in a
presentation of a proposed statement of financial position that
was published as a result of this project, the term “Reserves,”
which as noted is commonly used under IFRS, was replaced by
the phrase “Accumulated other comprehensive income,” which
is the title used under GAAP.
