benefits

• Right to receive goods/services
• Rights over physical objects
• Rights over intellectual property

RIGHT
Conceptual framework

• Some goods or services are received and


immediately consumed.
• Right to obtain economic benefits exists only
momentarily until consumed!

RIGHT
Conceptual framework
• Does not need to be certain or likely
• Right must already exist AND in at
least one circumstance it will give
economic benefits beyond those
available to all other parties.
• Even if probability is low

POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE ECONOMIC BENEFITS


Conceptual framework
• Present ability to direct the use AND
• Obtain economic benefits from it OR
• Prevents others from directing use
and obtaining benefits from it.

CONTROL
PSP
Conceptual framework

Liabilities

Present obligation to transfer economic resource as


a result of past events.
Conceptual framework
• Duty or responsibility that the
entity has no practical ability
to avoid.
• Always to another party (don’t
need to identify)

Legal and constructive

OBLIGATION
Conceptual framework
• Potential to require transfer
• Does not need to be certain or
likely
• Even if probability is low

Transfer economic resource


Conceptual framework
Entity ALREADY obtained
economic benefit or taken
action
AND
As consequence entity
will/may have to transfer
economic resources that it
would not otherwise have
had to transfer.

Present obligation past event


Conceptual framework
• Bestaan SLEGS as:
Entiteit REEDS ekonomiese

relating to distributions to equity holders.
Conceptual framework
Recognition and derecognition

Can only recognise if provides users with useful


information

Relevant

Faithful representation
Conceptual framework
e.g. Billboards
Relevant (Def vs reg)

Not if there is existence uncertainty

Probability of inflow or outflow of economic


benefits are low. (outcome) (Amount and
timing)
Conceptual framework
Faithful representation

Measurement uncertainty

High level of measurement


uncertainty does not necessarily
prevent estimate from being useful
Conceptual framework

Derecognition

When loses control of asset

No longer has present obligation for liability


Conceptual framework
Measurement

Historical cost

Current value

Fair value

Value in use

Current cost
Conceptual framework
Historical cost

ASSET Price of transaction plus transaction costs

LIABILITY Value of consideration received minus transaction


costs

If not available or relevant use


current value as starting point.
Conceptual framework
Historical cost updated for:

Depicting consumption (depreciation)

ASSET
Payment received for extinguishing (sale)

Impairment

Financing component
Conceptual framework

Historical cost updated for:

Fullfilment (payments)

LIABILITY
Increases in obligation

Interest
Conceptual framework

WHY Historical cost ?


Conceptual framework

WHY Historical cost?

Price of transaction

Amount at least expected to be recovered

Value to fullfil obligation


Conceptual framework
Current value

Ignores price of transaction

Reflects conditions at measurement date

Bases include
- Fair value
- Value in use /Fulfilment value
- Current cost
Conceptual framework
Fair value

Price that would be received to sell an asset or paid


to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at measurement date
Conceptual framework
Fair value

Observing prices in active market

Indirectly by estimating future cash flows, time


value of money etc

Does not reflect transaction costs


Conceptual framework

WHY Fair value?


Conceptual framework

WHY Fair value??

Shows market participants current expectations


Conceptual framework
Value in use / Fulfilment value

Present value of cash flows expected to be


derived from use of asset and from disposal

Present value of cash/other resources the entity


expects to be obliged to transfer to fulfil.
Conceptual framework

Value in use / Fulfilment value

Does not include transaction costs

Entity-specific assumption
Conceptual framework

WHY Value in use?


Conceptual framework

WHY Value in use?

Shows present value of future cash flows


Conceptual framework

Current cost

Cost of equivalent asset at measurement date (what


would have paid now plus transaction costs
Conceptual framework
Presentation and disclosure

Effective communication

Entity-specific info

Duplication
Conceptual framework
Classification

Sorting of elements (PPE, Inventory))

Offsetting – not appropriate (assets and liabilities))

Equity with different characteristics - separate


Conceptual framework
Aggregation

Summarises large volume of info

Offsetting – not appropriate (assets and liabilities)
