END OF LECTURE
PAS 1 provides that an entity shall present an analysis of expenses recognized in profit or loss using a
classification based on either the FUNCTION of expense or their NATURE within the entity, whichever provides
information that is reliable and more relevant.

 Functional presentation (cost of sales method) – classifies expenses according to their function as part of
cost of sales, selling activities, administrative activities and other activities.

 Natural presentation – expenses are aggregated according to their nature and not allocated among the
various functions within the entity.

PAS 1 does not prescribe any format. The standard simply states “because each method of
presentation has merit for different types of entities, management is required to select the most
relevant and reliable information.”
