While both IFRS and Dutch GAAP aim to present a "true and fair view" of a company's financial position, significant structural differences remain. IFRS prohibits goodwill amortization, requiring annual impairment tests, whereas Dutch GAAP mandates systematic amortization.
Under IFRS, almost all leases are recorded on the balance sheet, but Dutch GAAP allows operating leases to remain off-balance sheet.
Additionally, Dutch GAAP relies heavily on historical cost and requires strict legal reserves to protect creditors, which are absent in IFRS.
Finally, IFRS demands extensive disclosures, while Dutch GAAP scales requirements based on company size.
