o objective: provide financial information about reporting entity
that is useful to present and potential equity investors,
lenders, and other creditors in their capacity as capital
providers
among IMC, the one addressed here is Communicate
who is the reporting entity? The issuing business!
Emphasis on capital providers!
Types of Capital Providers
Creditors: liabilities are claims of creditors
Shareholders: SE are equities of
shareholders
Conceptual Framework
- recall: has 3 levels
level 1: basic objectives
o Assumptions
Going concern
life of the firm is indefinite
Economic entity
separate & distinct
Monetary unit
all transactions must be recorded in terms of
money
Accrual:
Substance over form can be applied here
public entities/government agencies in Phil., since
2001, have become modified accrual basis!
Actually, mix of cash and modified accrual basis
gamit nila.
Periodicity
indefinite life is divided into accounting periods
that are in equal interval
o Principles
Measurement
Example: assets are recorded initially, at
historical/acquisition cost (Acquisition cost =
Purchase price + other incidental cost)
but subsequently, measurement depends on
the type of asset
o Example: if depreciable, net book
value; aka carrying value
o Example: If intangible, amortized
Recall: patents are amortized
over 20 years
o Example: Land; realizable value
Full disclosure
Pertains to the quality of Completeness
include Notes to the Fss
Revenue recognition
overriding criteria?
Decision usefulness
Free from error and faituful relevance?
Reliability
Timeliness is ingredient of?
Relevance; not reliability
Relative to relevance and reliability?
All of these: relevance, reliable, materiality
Verifiability is relative to?
Relevance no!; reliability yes!
Kasi ang gusto mong malamang is kung maveverifiable ba ito?
Pwede rin na yes (because verifiability has confirmatory value); yes
Accounting Process
Aka Accounting Information System: same silang dalawa because
the main purpose of accounting is communicating; and you need
AIS to communicate such information
AIS: a way to communicate FS information by following steps in
accounting cycle to prepare the FS
Enumerates steps in the accounting cycle
End products are the FSs
aje

- if debit entries are greater than credit entries, the account will
have a debit balance
Summarizing: process of getting balance in t account

estimates need revision does
not a correction of an error
accounting

of elements of fs as if a prior period errors had never occurred
if the error occurred before the earliest prior period presented
opening balances of ALE for the earliest prior period presented shall
be restated
disclosure
nature of the prior period errors
amount of correction for each prior period presented, to the
extent practicable:
for each FS line item affected
for basic and diluted EPS
amount of correction of the
if retrospective restatement is impracticable,
circumstances that led to the comdiition
how and from when the errors has been corrected
o types of errors
commission: recorded but made a mistake
omission: did not record
counterbalancing error: will self-correct
overstated now but understated sa next
kaya RE will correct on that year
ex. EInventory is overstated (making COGS
for that year understated; Gross Profit and
Net Income and RE overstated;) so
BegInventory for year after is overstated
(overstated ang COGAFS | if EI is correct,
COGS then becomes overstated ->
GrossProfit/NI and RE is understated) so
nagbalance lang
non-counterbalancing: will not self-correct
ex. Forgot Depreciation; if DepExp
understated -> OpEx is understated, Gross
Profit over, NI over, RE over
