PFRS 14 specifies the financial reporting requirements for regulatory deferral account balances arising

from the sale of goods or services that are subject to rate regulation. Regulatory deferral account
balance is the balance of any expense (or income) account that would not be recognized as an asset or a
liability in accordance with other Standards, but that qualifies for deferral because it is included, or is
expected to be included, by the rate regulator in establishing the rate(s) that can be charged to
customers. It is not presented as current or noncurrent. Instead, they are presented separately from the
sub-totals of assets and liabilities that are presented in accordance with other Standards. It is an
optional standard that is available only to first-time adopters. A first-time adopter continues to apply its
previous GAAP to the recognition, measurement, impairment and derecognition of regulatory deferral
account balances, except for changes in accounting policies and the presentation of regulatory deferral
accounts. Existing PFRS users are prohibited from using PFRS 14. An entity is prohibited from changing
its accounting policy in order to start recognizing regulatory deferral account balances.
