    1. The German Federal Ministry of Justice published on 21 Mai 2008 the government bill of the German Accounting Law Modernisation Act (BilMoG) (available only in German). Compared to the draft bill published on 8 November 2007 some significant changes have arisen. Section 264e of the draft bill offering entities the choice of preparing separate IFRS financial statements instead of German GAAP separate financial statement was withdrawn. The exemption from the duty of keeping accounting records and preparing financial statements for sole proprietorships and commercial partnerships with net income and sales not exceeding certain amounts, has been narrowed. Commercial partnerships are now excluded from this section. Changes to the draft bill result particularly from specification and amendments, e. g. section 248 (2) restricting the recognition of intangible assets, sections 256a and 308a on the accounting for foreign currencies and sections 274 and 308 on deferred taxes.
