Just a quick question. This popped up on the June test, when you have GIPS and your company has been around for 7 years you have to use 7 years of compliant data or just 5? When it's been around for 12, would you need 10 or 12?

I remember I chose 5 as the answer.
IF the firm has historical data of 12 years, it still could claim compliance of 5 years provided it explains the reason for the 7 non compliance data. Going forward, the firm is obliged to claim compliance up to 10 years. After 10 years, it's a moving quantuam of a decade. The firm does not need to show 12 years of compliance.作者: Siddimaula 时间: 2011-7-13 15:09
Just 5 years of minimum data. However, if the company exist less than that then it's since inception. keelim is right that the firm is also obliged to collect the data in compliance with the GIPS for up to 10 years.作者: Bluetick1010 时间: 2011-7-13 15:09
The answer was 10. They been GIPS compliant for seven years, but when they initially became compliant, they had to have five years then. Because 12 (5 + 7) is more than the required 10, 10 is all that is necessary.
The key point in this question is that the firm HAS BEEN GIPS compliant for seven years, not around for seven years.作者: ramzes 时间: 2011-7-13 15:09
When becoming GIPS compliant, you need five years, or since inception if you've been in business less than five. Once you are compliant, you need to continue to report the original five years, plus every additional year, until you report 10 years in total. (So the year after you start complying, you'll report 6, the year after that, 7, etc.). Once you're reporting 10 years, you don't need to report any more. So when you have an 11th year to report, you can stop reporting the first year, etc.
It's hard to write out, but it's pretty simple once you grasp it.作者: ramdabom 时间: 2011-7-13 15:09

Scenario 1
If a firm has been in business for 3 years, it has to use 3 years of data to be GIPS compliant. And it has to report every year from the 4th year onwards till the 10th year. Once at 11th year, it will report from 2nd year to 11th year. Once at 12th year, it will report from 3rd year to 12th year.
Scenario 2
If a firm has been GIPS compliant for 7 years and been around for 10 years, it has to report 10 years? (7 plus the initial 3)
Are both of the scenario correct?
Thanks.作者: sgupta0827 时间: 2011-7-13 15:09

Anyone?作者: marsilni 时间: 2011-7-13 15:09
Both scenario's are correct.
Scenario one- You are never required to report more than 10 years, so once they are reporting that, they can choose to report since inception, or the most recent 10 years they have.
Scenario two- they have only three years to report at inception, but they have to keep reporting since inception until 10 years has passed, then they can report only the most recent 10 years.作者: koba 时间: 2011-7-13 15:09
