FRAMEWORK of FINANCIAL
REPORTING
The IASB Framework
The IASB Framework sets out the concepts that
underlie the preparation and presentation of FSs for
external users.
• A conceptual framework (a statement of principles)
developed in 1989.
• Forms the foundation/cornerstone of IFRSs
The purpose of the IASB Framework
A basis for dealing with any accounting issues that arise
which are not covered by a specific accounting
standard.
FRAMEWORK of FINANCIAL REPORTING
FRAMEWORK of FINANCIAL
REPORTING
 Economic resources and claims
 Changes in economic resources and claims
Financial performance reflected by accrual accounting
Financial performance reflected by past cash flows
Changes in economic resources and claims not
resulting from financial performance

ELEMENTS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 ASSETS (RESOURCES)
 LIABILITIES (CLAIMS)
 EQUITY
 REVENUES
 EXPENSES
RECOGNITION CRITERIA
 FUTURE ECONOMIC BENEFITS
 RELIABLE EVALUATION OF COST
FRAMEWORK of FINANCIAL
REPORTING

The future economic benefits embodied in an asset may flow to


the entity:

 used single or in combination with other assets in the


production of goods or services to be sold by the entity;
 exchanged for other assets;
 used to settle a liability.
FRAMEWORK of FINANCIAL
REPORTING

Settlement of a present obligation - giving up resources


embodying economic benefits - may occur in a number of
ways, by:
(a) payment of cash;
(b) transfer of other assets;
(c) replacement of that obligation with another obligation; or
(d) conversion of the obligation to equity.

Measurement of the elements in the FSs

■ HISTORICAL COST
■ CURRENT COST
■ NET REALISABLE VALUE
■ PRESENT VALUE

Case study:
Company A acquires a new machine in X4 at cost 50,000, useful life 10 years.
Company B acquires an identical one year-old machine in X5 at cost 48,000 and is has an
estimated useful life of 9 years.
Consider straight-line depreciation.
Compute the carrying amount of asset, for A and B, at the end of X5.
Debate advantages / disadvantages of historical cost.
FRAMEWORK of FINANCIAL REPORTING
Measurement of the elements in the FSs
Sunny Co owns a machine which it was purchased 4 years ago for 100,000 USD.
The accumulated depreciation on machine to date is 40,000 USD.
The machine could be sold to another manufacturer for 50,000 USD, but there
would be dismantling costs for 5,000 USD.
To replace the machine with a new one would cost 110,000 USD.
The cash inflows from existing machine are estimated to be 25,000 USD for next 2
years followed by 20,000 USD for remaining four years of machine’s life. The
relevant discount rate is 10%; discount factors are:
Year 1 --- 0.909
Year 2 --- 0.826
Year 3-6 inclusive --- 2.619 (annuity rate)

Calculate:
a. Historical cost
b. Net realizable value
c. Replacement cost (current cost)
d. Economic value (present value)
FRAMEWORK of FINANCIAL REPORTING
The purpose of the Conceptual Framework for
Financial Reporting is:

a. to assist the IASB in setting IFRSs?


b. to assist preparers of financial statements in
applying IFRSs?
c. to assist auditors in forming an opinion on whether
financial statements comply with IFRSs?
d. to assist users of financial statements in interpreting
IFRS financial statements?
e. all of the above?
FRAMEWORK of FINANCIAL REPORTING
The fundamental qualitative characteristics are:

a. comparability and relevance?


b. relevance and understandability?
c. relevance, completeness, and comparability?

IAS 8 ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CHANGES IN
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ERRORS

Accounting policies are the principles, bases, conventions, rules and


practices applied by an entity which specify how the effects of transactions
and other events are reflected in the financial statements.

Accounting policies should remain the same from period to period so as to


ensure consistency of treatment and comparability of FS over time.
An entity should change an accounting policy only if the change:
is required by a new IFRS, or
will result in a reliable and more relevant presentation of
transactions or events
IAS 8 ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CHANGES IN
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ERRORS

Accounting policies are the principles, bases, conventions, rules and


practices applied by an entity which specify how the effects of transactions
and other events are reflected in the financial statements.
a) Recognition criteria e.g. an expense is now recognised rather than an
asset
b) Measurement basis e.g. stating assets at replacement cost rather than
historical cost
c) Method of presentation e.g. depreciation is now included in cost of
sales rather than admin expenses.

 Change from cost model to revaluation model (IAS 16, IAS 38, IAS 40)
 Change in inventory valuation. From FIFO to AVCO and vice versa
IAS 8 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CHANGES IN
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ERRORS
Accounting estimates
 Many items in the FS cannot be measured with precision but
require some estimation.
 Estimates are used to implement the measurement aspects of
accounting policies.
 Estimation involves judgment based on the latest available
information.
Useful lives and residual values of non-current assets
Depreciation methods
Warranty provisions
Provisions for bad debts and inventory obsolescence

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ERRORS
Errors are omissions from, and misstatements in, the financial
statements for one or more prior periods arising from a failure
to use information that:
■ was available when the financial statements for those
periods authorised for issue and
■ could reasonably be expected to have been taken into
account in preparing those financial statements

On 1 January 20X1, Fresh Chicken Ltd purchased a chicken-plucking
machine for $100.000. It was expected that it would have a useful life of
eight years and a residual value of $20.000. However, during December
20X2, after only two years of use, the directors decide to sell the machine.
The company removes the machine from the farm in readiness for a quick
disposal and prepares the machine for viewing by potential purchasers.
They appoint an agent to assist with the marketing and advertising. The
agent advises that the disposal may take two to six months and that the
machine should sell for $45.000.
Required:

Reclassification under IFRS 5 the treatment will depend on whether the asset followed
the cost model or revaluation model of IAS 16.

A.COST MODEL The asset is removed from PPE at its carrying amount and then
recorded as a NCA held for sale at the lower of the carrying value and the FV less costs to
sell. If the latter is lower, then an impairment loss arises and is shown in P&L.

B.REVALUATION MODELThe asset is revalued to its FV immediately before


reclassification and any gain or loss is treated in accordance with IAS 16.
The asset is then removed from PPE and transferred to NCA held for sale. On
reclassification the asset is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount (which is now
represented by the FV) and its FV less costs to sell and any impairment loss taken to
P&L.

On 1 January 20X4 Nim entered into a contract with a customer to construct a
specialised building for an agreed price of $30 million. At 31 December 20X4, Nim
had incurred costs of $14 million and estimated that costs to complete the contract
would amount to a further $7 million. Nim measures progress towards contract
completion using the input method, based on costs incurred. At 31 December Nim
had received $12 million from the customer.

How should the above contract be reflected in the financial statements of Nim for
the year ended 31 December 20X4?
IFRS 15 REVENUE
The following information relates to a contract for the construction of a building for
a customer. The builder has a right to regular payments as the work progresses.

Contract price 5 million

LIABILITY
IAS 37
PROVISIONS, CONINGENT ASSETS AND
CONTINGENT LIABILITY

Definition:
A provision is a LIABILITY of uncertain timing or amount.

A liability is a present obligation of the entity arising from


past events, the settlement of which is expected to result
in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying
economic benefits.
IAS 37
PROVISIONS, CONINGENT ASSETS AND
CONTINGENT LIABILITY

Recognition:
A provision should be recognised when:

If any one of these conditions is not met, no provision may be recognize


1) an entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a
past event,
2) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation,
3) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefi
ts will be required to settle the obligation
IAS 37 PROVISIONS, CONINGENT ASSETS AND
CONTINGENT LIABILITY
The obligation needs to exist because of events which have already
occurred at the year end and give rise to a potential outflow of economicresources. This obl
igation can either be:
(1) A present obligation as a result of a past event
(a)Legal/contractual
(b)Constructive:this is where the company establish an expectation through a course
of past practice, regardless of whether there is a legal requirement to perform the
task or not.
(2) A reliable estimate can be made
Provisions should be recognised at the best estimate. If the provision relates
to one event, such as the potential liability from a court case, this should be measured
using the most likely outcome. If the provision is made up of numerous events, such as a
provision to make repairs on goods within a year of sale, then the provision should
be measured using expected values.
IAS 37 PROVISIONS, CONINGENT ASSETS AND
CONTINGENT LIABILITY
The best estimate of a provision will be:
 for a single obligation: the most likely amount payable
 for a large population of items: an expected value.
IAS 37 PROVISIONS, CONINGENT ASSETS AND
CONTINGENT LIABILITY
An entity sells goods with a warranty covering customers for the cost of
repairs of any defects that are discovered within the first two months after
purchase. Past experience suggests that:
 88% of the goods sold will have no defects,
 7% will have minor defects and
 5% will have major defect.
If minor defects were detected in all products sold, the cost of repairs
would be $24,000; if major defects were detected in all products sold,
the cost would be $200,000.
What amount of provision should be made?
IAS 37 PROVISIONS, CONINGENT ASSETS AND
CONTINGENT LIABILITY

An entity has to rectify a serious fault in an item of plant that it has


constructed for a customer.
The individual most likely outcome is that the repair will succeed at the first
attempt at a cost of $400,000, but there is a chance that a further attempt
will be necessary, increasing the total cost to $500,000.
What amount of provision should be recognised?
IAS 37 PROVISIONS, CONINGENT ASSETS AND
CONTINGENT LIABILITY

If the likelihood of the event is not probable, NO PROVISION should be


made. If there is a possible liability, then the company should record a
contingent liability instead.
A contingent liability is disclosed as a note to the accounts only, NO
ENTRIES are made into the financial statements other than this disclosure.
IAS 37 PROVISIONS, CONINGENT ASSETS AND
CONTINGENT LIABILITY
Environmental provisions

A provision will be made for future environmental costs if there is either a legal or
constructive obligation to carry out the work.
This will be discounted to present value at a pretax market rate.

IAS 37 PROVISIONS, CONINGENT ASSETS AND
CONTINGENT LIABILITY
A contingent liability is:
possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be
confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more
uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity,
OR
a present obligation that arises from past events but is NOT RECOGNISED
because:
■ it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation, OR
■ The amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient
reliability.
IAS 37 PROVISIONS, CONINGENT ASSETS AND

A CONTINGENT ASSET:

is a potential asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be
confirmed only by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain
