CHAPTER 2

Qualitative Characteristics
 Qualities or attributes that makes information useful to users

Classifications:
(a.) Fundamental QC
 Hindi pwedeng mawala
 Content / substance

(b.)Enhancing QC
 Increases the usefulness of the information
 Presentation / form

FUNDAMENTAL
1. Relevance- capacity of information to influence a decision
Ingredients:
1. Predictive Value- help users correctly forecast outcome of events
2. Confirmatory Value- enables users to confirm or correct earlier expectations
Example:
1st quarter= 2M (confirmatory value)
4
Whole Year = 8M (predictive value)

 Materiality / Doctrine of Convenience - if omission, misstatement, obscuring of info


could reasonably affect decision users
(2) Faithful Representation- actual effects of transactions are properly accounted for and
reported.

Ingredients:
1. Completeness- presented to facilitate understanding and avoid implication.
Standard of adequate disclosure
 All significant and relevant information shall be report

2. Neutrality- FS should not be prepared to favor any party.


 Free from bias and fair

3. Free from Error- walang error walang omissions

Substance over form- present transactions based on economic substance and not their legal forms

Prudence- exercise care and caution when dealing with uncertainties in the overstatement of FS
items. MAG-INGAT KA!!! (opo mag iingat po)
Asset / Income - X overstated
Liability / Expenses - X understated

Conservatism - in case of doubt choose alternative that has the best effect on equity

ENHANCING QC (VCUT)
1. Verifiable- different observers could reach consensus
 Using same evidences, same conclusion
 Results can be duplicated by using the same method

2. Comparability- users must identify and understand similarities and differences

Within the entity- Horizontal Comparability / Intracomparabilty


Across entities- Dimensional Comparability / Intercomparability

Consistency- same method from period to period

3. Understandability- readily understandable by users


- users are expected to have a reasonable understanding of economic activities

4. Timeliness- having information available

Cost- constraint- benefit derived from the information should exceed the cost incurred in obtaining
information.
