AE14- Conceptual Framework and Accounting Standards

FOREWORD

The Conceptual Framework (or “Concepts Statements”) is a body of interrelated


objectives and fundamentals. The objectives identify the goals and purposes of financial
reporting and the fundamentals are the underlying concepts that help achieve those
objectives. Those concepts provide guidance in selecting transactions, events and
circumstances to be accounted for, how they should be recognized and measured, and
how they should be summarized and reported.

The framework provides a basic reasoning on which to consider the merits of


alternative solutions to complex financial accounting or reporting problems. Although it
does not provide all the answers, the framework narrows the range of alternative
solutions by eliminating some that are inconsistent with it. It thereby contributes to
greater efficiency and consistency in the standard-setting process by avoiding the
necessity of having to redebate fundamental issues such as “what is an asset?” time and
time again.

The framework further helps users of financial reporting information to better


understand that information and its limitations. It also provides a frame of reference for
understanding the resulting standards. That frame of reference is useful to preparers
who apply those standards and to auditors who examine the resulting reports, as well
as to students who study accounting and the faculty who teach it. Thus, this module is
created to simplify the learning students will be acquiring at the convenience of their
own home without sacrificing the quality of instructions.

MODULE 2

Introduction
Accounting Standards are authoritative statements of how particular types of
transaction and other events should be reflected in financial statements. Accordingly,
compliance with accounting standards will normally be necessary for the fair
presentation of financial statements.
Accounting standards issued by the Accounting Standards Council (ASC) were
renamed to correspond better with the issuances of the IASC and IASB. Philippine
Accounting Standards (PASs) correspond to the adopted International Accounting
Standards (IASs). Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs) correspond to the
adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). SFASs and SFASs/IASs
not superseded by revised IASs and new IFRSs will be re-issued as PASs. Previously,
standards issued by the ASC were designated as SFASs.

Course Learning Outcome


Apply the financial reporting standards relating to assets, liabilities, equity, and small
and medium-sized entities on theoretical problems and cases.

Topic Learning Outcome

At the end of this module, the students will be able to:


 Recognize assets, liabilities, equity, and small and medium-sized entities from
each other using applicable standards.
 Determine the presentation and disclosure requirements for certain assets,
liabilities, equity, and small and medium-sized entities.
 Analyze cases related to assets, liabilities, equity, and small and medium-sized
entities

TOPIC 1: PAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

Objective of PAS 1
PAS 1 prescribes the basis for presentation of general purpose financial statements to
improve comparability both with the entity's financial statements of previous periods
(intra-comparability) and with the financial statements of other entities (inter-
comparability).

General purpose financial statements


 intended to serve users who do not have the authority to demand financial
reports tailored for their own needs
 cater to most of the common needs of a wide range of external users.
 the subject matter of the Conceptual Framework and the PFRSs.

Complete set of financial statements

*comparative information in respect of the preceding period; and additional


statement of financial position (required only when certain instances occur)

TOPIC 2: PAS 2 Inventories

Inventories are assets:


a. Held for sale in the ordinary course of
business (Finished Goods);
b. In the process of production for such sale
(Work In Process); or
c. In the form of materials or supplies to be
consumed in the production process or in the
rendering of services (Raw materials and
manufacturing supplies).
Read: https://icpa.ph/community/13-lesson-financial-accounting-and-reporting/178-inventories-pas-2

Financial Statement Presentation


All items that meet the definition of inventory are presented on the statement of
financial position as one line item under the caption “Inventories.” The breakdown of this line
item (as finished goods, WIP and Raw materials) is disclosed in the notes.
Inventories are normally presented in a classified statement of financial position as
current assets.
Measurement
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). The cost of
inventories comprise all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in
bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Net realizable value (NRV) is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the
sale.
Costs that are EXPENSED when incurred
1. Abnormal amounts of wasted materials, labor or other production costs.
2. Selling costs, for example, advertising and promotion costs and delivery expense or
freight out.
3. Administrative overheads that do not contribute to bringing inventories to their present
location and condition.
4. Storage costs, unless those costs are necessary in the production process before a further
production stage, (e.g., the storage costs of partly finished goods may be capitalized as cost
of inventory, but the storage costs of completed finished goods are expensed).
Cost Formulas
1. Specific identification - shall be used for inventories that are not ordinarily
interchangeable (i.e., used for inventories that are unique). Cost of sales is the cost of the
specific inventory that was sold.

BUKIDNON STATE UNIVERSITY ACCOUNTANCY DEPARTMENT


AE14- Conceptual Framework and Accounting Standards
2. FIFO – cost of sales is based on the cost of inventories that were purchased first.
Consequently, ending inventory represents the cost of the latest purchases.
3. Weighted Average Cost – cost of sales is based on the average cost of all inventories
purchased during the period.
 Wtd. Ave. Cost = (TGAS in pesos ÷ TGAS in units)
Write down of inventories
Inventories are usually written down to net realizable value on an item by item basis. If
the cost of an inventory exceeds its NRV, the inventory is written down to NRV, the lower
amount. The excess of cost over NRV represents the amount of write-down.
Reversal of write-downs
The amount of reversal to be recognized should not exceed the amount of the original
write-down previously recognized.
Recognition as an expense
The carrying amount of an inventory that is sold is charged as expense (i.e., cost of sales)
in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. Likewise, the write-down of
inventories to NRV and all losses of inventories are recognized as expense in the period the
write-down or loss occurs.

TOPIC 3: PAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows

Statement of Cash Flows


 provides information about the
sources and utilization (i.e., historical
changes) of cash and cash equivalents
during the period
 presents cash flows according to the
following classifications:
1. Operating activities
2. Investing activities
3. Financing activities
Read: https://icpa.ph/community/13-lesson-financial-accounting-and-reporting/179-cash-flow-
statements-pas-7

Activities
1. Operating activities include transactions that enter into the determination of profit or
loss. These transactions normally affect income statement accounts.
2. Investing activities include transactions that affect long-term assets and other non-
operating assets.

BUKIDNON STATE UNIVERSITY ACCOUNTANCY DEPARTMENT


AE14- Conceptual Framework and Accounting Standards
3. Financing activities include transactions that affect equity and non-operating liabilities.
Examples of cash flows from Operating Activities
a. cash receipts from the sale of goods, rendering of services, or other forms of income
b. cash payments for purchases of goods and services
c. cash payments for operating expenses, such as employee benefits, insurance, and the like,
and payments or refunds of income taxes
d. cash receipts and payments from contracts held for dealing or trading purposes
Examples of cash flows from Investing Activities
a. cash receipts and cash payments in the acquisition and disposal of property, plant and
equipment, investment property, intangible assets and other noncurrent assets
b. cash receipts and cash payments in the acquisition and sale of equity or debt instruments
of other entities (other than those that are classified as cash equivalents or held for trading)
c. cash receipts and cash payments on derivative assets and liabilities (other than those that
are held for trading or classified as financing activities)
d. loans to other parties and collections thereof (other than loans made by a financial
institution)
Examples of cash flows from Financing Activities
a. cash receipts from issuing shares or other equity instruments and cash payments to
redeem them
b. cash receipts from issuing notes, loans, bonds and mortgage payable and other short-
term or long-term borrowings, and their repayments
c. cash payments by a lessee for the reduction of the outstanding liability relating to a lease.

Accounting Policies
Accounting policies are “the specific principles, bases, conventions, rules and practices
applied by an entity in preparing and presenting financial statements.” (PAS 8.5)
Accounting policies are the relevant PFRSs adopted by an entity in preparing and
presenting its financial statements
PFRSs
Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs) are Standards and Interpretations
adopted by the Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC). They comprise the following:
1. Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs);
2. Philippine Accounting Standards (PASs); and
3. Interpretations

BUKIDNON STATE UNIVERSITY ACCOUNTANCY DEPARTMENT


AE14- Conceptual Framework and Accounting Standards
 When it is difficult to distinguish a change in accounting policy from a change in accounting
estimate, the change is treated as a change in an accounting estimate.
An entity shall change an accounting policy only if the change:
1. is required by a PFRS; or
2. results to a more relevant and reliable information about an entity’s financial position,
performance, and cash flows.
Examples

Changes in Accounting Policy Changes in Accounting Estimate

1. Change from FIFO cost formula for 1. Change in depreciation or amortization

TOPIC 5: PAS 10 EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

Events after the Reporting Period


Events after the reporting period are “those events, favorable or unfavorable, that occur
between the end of the reporting period and the date that the financial statements are
authorized for issue.” (PAS 10)

Two Types of Events After the Reporting Period

Date of authorization of the financial statements


This date is the date when management authorizes the financial statements for issue
regardless of whether such authorization for issue is for further approval or for final issuance to
users.
Examples

Adjusting Events Non-Adjusting Events

1. The settlement after the reporting period of a 1. Changes in fair values, foreign exchange rates,
court case that confirms that the entity has a interest rates or market prices after the

Accounting Profit vs. Taxable Profit

 The varying treatments of economic activities between the PFRSs and tax laws result to
permanent and temporary differences.
Examples

BUKIDNON STATE UNIVERSITY ACCOUNTANCY DEPARTMENT


AE14- Conceptual Framework and Accounting Standards
*Permanent Differences **Temporary Differences

1. Interest income on government bonds 1. ***Taxable temporary differences –


and treasury bills arise, for example, when financial income
is greater than taxable income or the
carrying amount of an asset is greater than
its tax base

2. Interest income on bank deposits 2. Deductible temporary differences arise


in case of the opposites of the foregoing

3. Dividend income

4. Fines, surcharges, and penalties arising


from violation of law

5. Life insurance premium on employees


where the entity is the irrevocable
beneficiary

*Permanent differences are those that do not have future tax consequences.
**Temporary differences are those that have future tax consequences.
***Taxable temporary differences result to deferred tax liabilities while deductible temporary
differences result to deferred tax assets.
Deferred taxes
 If the increase in deferred tax liability exceeds the increase in deferred tax asset, the
difference is deferred tax expense. If it is the opposite, the difference is deferred tax income
or benefit.
 A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is realizable.
 Deferred taxes are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates that are
applicable to the periods of their expected reversals.
 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
 Deferred tax asset and liabilities are presented as non-current.

TOPIC 7: PAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment

Read:
https://www.iasplus.com/en/standards/ias/ias16

BUKIDNON STATE UNIVERSITY ACCOUNTANCY DEPARTMENT


AE14- Conceptual Framework and Accounting Standards

Characteristics of PPE
a. Tangible assets – items of PPE have physical substance
b. Used in normal operations – items of PPE are used in the production or supply of goods
or services, for rental, or for administrative purposes
c. Long-term in nature – items of PPE are expected to be used from more than a year
Examples of items of PPE
a. Land used in business
b. Land held for future plant site
c. Building used in business
d. Equipment used in the production of goods
e. Equipment held for environmental and safety reasons
f. Equipment held for rentals
g. Major spare parts and long-lived stand-by equipment
h. Furniture and fixture
i. Bearer plants
Recognition
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be recognized as an asset only
if:
a. it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the
entity; and
b. the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Initial measurement
An item of PPE is initially measured at its cost.
Elements of Cost
1. Purchase price, including non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts
and rebates.
2. Costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary
for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the management.
3. Present value of decommissioning and restoration costs to the extent that they are
recognized as obligation
Examples of directly attributable costs
a. Costs of employee benefits arising directly from the construction or acquisition of PPE;
b. Costs of site preparation;
c. Initial delivery and handling costs (e.g., freight costs);
d. Installation and assembly costs;

BUKIDNON STATE UNIVERSITY ACCOUNTANCY DEPARTMENT


AE14- Conceptual Framework and Accounting Standards
e. Testing costs, net of disposal proceeds of samples generated during testing; and
f. Professional fees.
Cessation of capitalizing costs to PPE
Recognition of costs in the carrying amount of an item of PPE ceases when the item is in
the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by
management.
Measurement of Cost
The cost of an item of PPE is the cash price equivalent at the recognition date. If payment
is deferred beyond normal credit terms, the difference between the cash price equivalent and
the total payment is recognized as interest over the period of credit unless such interest is
capitalized in accordance with PAS 23 Borrowing Costs.
Acquisition through exchange
If the exchange has commercial substance, the asset received from the exchange is
measured using the following order of priority:
a. Fair value of asset Given up
b. Fair value of asset Received
c. Carrying amount of asset Given up
 If the exchange lacks commercial substance, the asset received from the exchange is
measured at (c) above.
Subsequent measurement
Subsequent to initial recognition, an entity shall choose either:
(a) the cost model or
(b) the revaluation model
 as its accounting policy and shall apply that policy to an entire class of PPE.
Cost Model
After recognition, an item of PPE is measured at its cost less any accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its
estimated useful life.
When computing for depreciation, each part of an item of PPE with a cost that is
significant in relation to the total cost of the item shall be depreciated separately.
Depreciation begins when the asset is available for use, i.e., when it is in the location and
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation ceases when the asset is derecognized or when it is classified as “held for
sale” under PFRS 5, whichever comes earlier.
Selection of depreciation method

BUKIDNON STATE UNIVERSITY ACCOUNTANCY DEPARTMENT


AE14- Conceptual Framework and Accounting Standards
There are various methods of depreciation. The entity shall select the method that most
closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied
in the asset.
However, a depreciation method that is based on revenue that is generated by an
activity that includes the use of an asset is not appropriate.
The Straight-line method of Depreciation
 Straight line method – depreciation is recognized evenly over the life of the asset by
dividing the depreciable amount by the estimated useful life.
Depreciation = (Historical cost – Residual value) ÷ Estimated useful life
Changes in depreciation method, useful life, and residual value
A change in depreciation method, useful life, or residual value is a change in accounting
estimate accounted for prospectively.
Prospective accounting means the change affects only the current period and/or future
periods. The change does not affect past periods.
Revaluation Model
After recognition as an asset, an item of PPE whose fair value can be measured reliably
shall be carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation less any
subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Revaluation surplus
Fair value* xx
Less: Carrying amount (xx)
Revaluation surplus – gross of tax xx
 The fair value is determined using an appropriate valuation technique, taking into
account the principles set forth under PFRS 13.
Frequency of revaluation
For items with significant and volatile changes in fair value, annual revaluation is
necessary. For items with insignificant changes in fair value, revaluation may be made every 3
or 5 years.
Revaluation applied to all assets in a class
If an item of PPE is revalued, the entire class of PPE to which that asset belongs shall be
revalued.
The items within a class of PPE are revalued simultaneously to avoid selective
revaluation of assets and the reporting of amounts in the financial statements that are a mixture
of costs and values as at different dates.
Subsequent accounting for revaluation surplus

PART 2
A company has carried out its stock take at the end of its financial year. Included in its
inventories are the following items:
a. A table that cost the company P 1,250. This type of table usually sells for P 1,895 but it was
damaged in a flood and will therefore be sold at a significant discount. It is expected to sell
for P 450.
b. A wardrobe that cost the company P 720 and normally sells for P 995. The wardrobe has
been damaged and will cost approximately P 120 to repair at which point it can be sold for
P 750.
c. A dresser that was made to a customer’s own specifications and cost the company P 1,832
to make. Unfortunately, the customer went bankrupt and could not purchase the item. Due
to the unusual design the dresser was not easy to sell. After the year?end however, the
