8 Case Study – IFRS Convergence in Brazil CPC vs. IFRS Standards New BR GAAP (CPC) standards have been issued in line with their respective IFRS-IASB standards, with only a few minor differences/modifications: ‒ Simplified / eliminated certain options available under IFRS-IASB (e.g., revaluation) ‒ Specific transition rules that facilitate consistency with transition rules under IFRS 1 ‒ Equity method of accounting (instead of cost or fair value) for subsidiaries when presenting individual financial statements for statutory purposes Memorandum of understanding between Brazil and the IASB ensures that the CPC will continue to issue new BR GAAP standards in line with IASB CPC and the application of the RTT significantly decouples tax and statutory accounting (e.g., depreciation methods) CPC serves as official accounting records applicable to most organizations (electronic tax filings, distributable reserves and dividends, thin capitalization rules, transfer pricing) © 2011 Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.

18 Best Practices & Lessons Learned

19 Challenges – Global Themes Initial adoption of IFRS Resource constraints Overall timing considerations General financial reporting – quality and completeness of disclosures Increased scrutiny by regulators Comparability within industries and local benchmarks Statutory implementations – visibility and consistency Upgrading people, processes and systems Ongoing application of IFRS Keeping up with unprecedented number of new standards Principles vs. rules ‒ Need for interpretative guidance for new standards ‒ Principles-based standards are good, but what about MY issue? ‒ Concern over lack of bright-line rules Anticipating future developments in IFRS © 2011 Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.

20 Best Practices & Lessons Learned Dealing with the Challenge of IFRS Adoption High Level - Governance Tone at the Top - involve leadership at earliest stage, designate a steering committee Project Management Team - establish a cross-functional project management team Communication - establish lines of communication among various functions within the organization Coordination of Initiatives - consider planned technology changes, finance transformation, major transactions, and other related initiatives with an eye towards efficiency and synergy Roadmap to success - plan in advance to achieve a cost-effective and sustainable implementation © 2011 Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.

21 Best Practices & Lessons Learned Dealing with the Challenge of IFRS Adoption Detail Level Assessments — Have we identified and prioritized areas of impact and determined long lead-time items? Have we evaluated implications for planned or possible future transactions? Statutory Reporting — if multinational, where are we already using IFRS and how has it been applied? Where else will we / can we use IFRS? General Financial Reporting – Have we adequately identified our information and reporting needs? Have we aligned them with other reporting requirements? How are we preparing the market and managing expectations? IFRS Workshop — Have we discussed impacts with key members of Management? The Board? The Audit Committee? © 2011 Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.

22 Best Practices & Lessons Learned Dealing with the Challenge of IFRS Adoption Detail Level Tax — Have we adequately assessed all tax impacts? Process and Systems – Have we evaluated our short and long-term process and system requirements for IFRS? How should our internal controls be enhanced in response to IFRS changes (e.g., new financial reporting risks, spreadsheets)? Resources — Have we developed internal and external resource estimates? Have we initiated internal training and awareness programs? Have we coordinated sufficiently with external specialists – auditors, actuaries, valuation experts? What are our longer-term resource needs post implementation? © 2011 Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. Todos los derechos son reservados. 22
