Organisation
Role of the organisation
The DSAK IAI as part of The Indonesian Institute of Accountants (Ikatan Akuntan Indonesia – IAI) is the independent national accounting standard‐setting body in Indonesia. It is tasked by the IAI National Council to establish the Indonesian Financial Accounting Standards (Standar Akuntansi Keuangan – SAK).
SAK as issued by the DSAK IAI is recognised by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia through, among other things, the Indonesian Law No. 40/2007 on Limited Liability Company and Law No. 8/1995 on Capital Market.

Has the jurisdiction made a public commitment in support of moving towards a single set of high quality global accounting standards?
Has the jurisdiction made a public commitment towards IFRS Standards as that single set of high quality global accounting standards?
Yes.
What is the jurisdiction's status of adoption?
Additional comments provided on the adoption status?
Indonesia’s commitment is to support IFRS Standards as the globally accepted accounting standard and to continue with the IFRS Standards convergence process, further minimising the gap between SAK and IFRS. Indonesia is yet to announce its plan for the full adoption of IFRS Standards in Indonesia.
The decision to elect the convergence approach instead of full adoption was based on the consideration of the potential interpretation and implementation issues.
Since making the public commitment to support IFRS Standards in 8 December 2008, the DSAK IAI has been converging the SAK towards IFRS Standards. As a result of the first phase of the IFRS convergence process, SAK as at 1 January 2012 is substantially in line with IFRS Standards as at 1 January 2009, but there are a number of differences and several IFRS Standards and IFRIC Interpretations do not have SAK equivalents.
The DSAK IAI is currently progressing with the second phase of the IFRS convergence process. The objective of this phase is to further minimise the gap between SAK and IFRS Standards, from three years to one year. This would take SAK as at 1 January 2015 to be substantially in line with IFRS Standards as at 1 January 2014, again with some exceptions.
Currently there are two tiers of GAAP that are established in Indonesia:
- Tier 1 –SAK, for listed companies and other entities with significant public accountability; and
- Tier 2 – SAK ETAP, for entities with no significant public accountability.
The DSAK IAI also issued PSAK 45 as part of the SAK for not‐for-profit entities. The Board is currently deliberating on whether a more robust set of standards is necessary to meet the reporting requirements of not‐for‐profit entities Indonesia.
2016 Joint Statement
On 25 May 2016, the Trustees of the IFRS® Foundation, the Indonesia Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the Institute of Indonesia Chartered Accountants (IAI) announced their intention to deepen cooperation as Indonesia develops its plans to achieve full convergence with IFRS Standards. The plans were set out in a Joint Statement.
If the jurisdiction has NOT made a public statement supporting the move towards a single set of accounting standards and/or towards IFRS Standards as that set of standards, explain the jurisdiction's general position towards the adoption of IFRS Standards in the jurisdiction.

Indonesia’s commitment is to support IFRS Standards as the globally accepted accounting standard and to continue with the IFRS convergence process, further minimising the gap between SAK and IFRS Standards. Indonesia is yet to announce its plan for the full adoption of IFRS Standards in Indonesia.
