FincoLedger is not a retrofit — IFRS compliance is embedded in every layer of the system, from the chart of accounts to financial statement generation.
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a set of accounting rules issued by the IFRS Foundation and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). They provide a globally recognized framework for preparing financial statements, ensuring transparency, comparability, and accountability across international borders.
Required or permitted in over 140 countries and jurisdictions worldwide
Enables comparison of financial statements across companies and borders
Increases transparency for investors, regulators, and stakeholders
Reduces the cost of capital by lowering information asymmetry
Facilitates cross-border mergers, acquisitions, and investment decisions
FincoLedger is not a retrofit — IFRS compliance is embedded in every layer of the system, from the chart of accounts to financial statement generation.
Pre-built templates following IFRS-SMB classification: assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, and expenses with proper sub-categorization and contra accounts.
Every transaction flows through the GL as a balanced journal entry. Revenue is recognized when earned, expenses when incurred — not when cash changes hands.
Configurable Income Statement and Balance Sheet definitions with section hierarchies, account mappings, and subtotal aggregation following IFRS presentation requirements.
Base currency locking after first posting, exchange rate tracking with source attribution, and automatic unrealized FX gain/loss recognition per IAS 21.
Database-enforced period boundaries with no-overlap constraints, close/lock workflows, and year-end closing journals that transfer income to retained earnings.
FIFO and weighted-average cost methods with perpetual valuation ledger, movement-level GL integration, and real-time inventory valuation reporting.
How each IFRS requirement is enforced — from database constraints to application logic.
Every financial event is posted as a balanced journal entry — total debits must equal total credits, with at least one non-zero line. Unbalanced entries can never be posted.
Once posted, an entry can't be edited — voided and reversed are final states. Corrections are made with a reversal entry (a new posting with debit and credit swapped), preserving a complete audit trail.
Posting to a closed or locked fiscal period is blocked at the database level. Unlocking a period requires a written reason and records who unlocked it and when.
Historical exchange rates are stored, and the rate and its source are recorded on every entry. Your base currency is locked once any journal has been posted, in line with IAS 21.
Year-end close posts a closing entry (transferring revenue to retained earnings) and locks all periods. A preflight check verifies readiness — no open periods, no unposted entries — before any changes are made.
Two seeded chart-of-accounts templates (general and retail) follow IFRS account classifications. Statement mappings enforce Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow presentation requirements.
Every action is logged with the actor, IP address, user-agent, and before/after snapshots, with sensitive fields masked. Each request is traceable end-to-end across the system.
FincoLedger is designed as IFRS-ready infrastructure for SMBs — not a full IFRS disclosure package.
No IFRS 9 (financial instruments fair value) or IFRS 16 (leases) modules
No consolidation engine for multi-entity reporting
COA templates are scoped to SMB-level complexity
