Analysis
The above table shows the
reported annual income statement of STC Telecom Company for the years from 2008
to 2010. The data shows a significant improvement in revenue of the companies from
services in 2010 as compare to 2008 i.e. 51786828 and 47469368 respectively. Furthermore,
a significant increase is observed in Depreciation & amortization as well
in 2010 as compare to 2008 i.e. 8642204 and 6407514 respectively. However, the
operating income of the company was decreased in 2010 as compare to 2008 i.e. 10978311

Benefits of IFRS Conversion
In my opinion, after analyzing
the income statement of STC Telecom Company, the company as well as the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia have gained benefits from IFRS Conversion. The access to
financial reporting has become much easy than earlier and the financial reports
are now timelier. The comparison of the performance of company over the years
has become easier. The financial information of the company seems to be consistent,
comparable, and transparent that is considered as a good guide for the investors
because they can make optimal investment decisions that either they should be
investing in STC Telecom Company or not.
Furthermore, the quality
reporting has took place in STC Telecom Company as well as in other companies
of Saudi Arabia. After this conversion, STC Telecom Company no longer have to maintain
the system of dual accounting.
