This relationship is clearly depicted inthe basic accounting, equation: asset is equal to lial capital ities plus RECOGNITION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Recognition is the proc of incorporating, in the statement of financial Position an item that mee and satisfies the crit the definition of an element a for recognition set out in the Framework, The process of recognition starts in the identification of transactions and events that are financial in character and have olfec ‘s on the accounting elements, Once the events are identified, th accounts, properly ey are recorded chronologically in the books of 3) Accounting and Reporting Recognition involves the depiction of the item in words and bv a monetary amount and the inclusion of that amount the statement of financial statement totals. Items that Satisfy cognition criteria should be recognized in the statement of Mancial position @ The failure to recognize assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position is not rectified by disclosure of the accounting Policies used nor by notes or explanatory material. CRITERIA FOR RECOGNITION Assets or liabilities should be recognized if: a. itis probable that any future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to or from the entity; and b. the item has a cost or value that can be measured with reliability Asset is not recognized in the statement of financial position when expenditure has been incurred for which it is considered improbable that economic benefits will flow to the entity beyond the current accounting period. Instead, such a transaction results in the recognition of an expense in the statement of comprehensive income. The foregoing treatment does not imply either that the intention of management in incurring expenditure was other than to generate future economic benefits for the entity or that management was misguided. The only implication is that the degree of certainty that economic benefits will flow to the entity beyond the current accounting period is insufficient to warrant the recognition of an asset. Obligations under contracts that are equally proportionately unperformed are generally not recognized as liabilities in the statement of financial position. For example, liabilities for inventory order that have not yet received. However, such obligations that meet the definition of liabilities and, provided the recognition criteria are met in the particular circumstances, may qualify for recognition. In such circumstances, recognition of liabilities entails recognition of related assets or expenses.

The amounts, nature, and timing of liabilities, ASSETS PAS 1 broadly classifies assets into: 1, current) and 2. non-current assets. An entity shall present current and non-current assets as separate classitications on the face of its balance sheet. However, PAS 1 does not prescribe the order of format in which items are to be presented on the face of the statement of financial position. It only provides a list of items that are sutticiently different in nature or function to warrant separate presentation The common practice, however, is to present current assets before non-current assets on the face of the statement of financial position. Current Assets An asset shall be classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria: 1. It is expected to be realized in, or is intended for sale oF consumed in the entity's normal operating cycle; 2. Itis held primarily for the purpose of being traded; 3.

Three-month time deposit b. Three-month money market placement c. Three month BSP treasury bill d. Five-year treasury bill acquired three months before maturity date. Equity investments are excluded from cash equivalents unless they are, in substance, cash equivalents.

Financial Assets on jon, PAS 32, Financial Instrument: Disclosure and Presentati defines financial assets as any asset that is in the form of: a. cash; b. equity instrument of another entity; c. acontractual right; ~, . . ym ano’ * to receive cash or other financial assets fro entity; or Statement of Financial Position @ * toexchange financial assts or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially favorable to the entity; and da contract that will or may be settled in the entity's own equity instrument and is * a non-derivative for which the entity 1s obliged to receive a variable number of the entity’s own equity instrument; or * a derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or other financial assets for a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instrument An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting, all of its liabilities. A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Based on the definition of financial instrument in PAS 32, the term financial instrument, therefore, includes financial assets, financial liabilities, and equity instruments. Categories of Financial Assets Financial assets are broadly classified into 1. financial assets at fair value; and 2. financial assets at amortized cost. Financial assets at fair value Financial assets are fair value which include: a. those held for trading, b. those whose designations at initial recognition are at fair value through profit or loss; and c. those investments in quoted equity instruments. 9 Financial assets at fair value are classified as current assets. © Financial Accounting and Reporting Financial assets at amortized cost The financial assets shall be valued at amortized cost provided the following requirements are satisfied: a. it is intended to hold and collect contractual cash flows on a specified date; and b. the contractual cash is solely for payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Financial assets at amortized costs are classified as non-current assets as part of long-term investment line item. Trade and Other Receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Hence, the value of receivable is not dependent on other transactions, or other form of instruments. Receivables are broadly classified into a. trade receivable; and b. non-trade receivable. Trade receivables arise from the ordinary course of business operations and are shown as current assets if collectible either within one year or within the normal operating cycle of the business whichever is longer. This accounting guideline of item presentation is straightforward. Thus, if a trade receivable is collectible beyond one year or beyond the normal operating cycle of the business, it is presented as a non-current asset. The common examples of trade receivables are accounts receivable and notes receivables. Non-trade receivables, on the other hand, are claims that arise not from the ordinary course of the business operations. This tyPe of receivable is shown as part of the current asset if collectible within one year notwithstanding the normal operating cycle of the business. Non-trade receivable, therefore, relative to the statement presentation, disregards the one-year test. Statement of Financial Position @ . advances to officers, employees, directors, or shareholders; a b. advances to affiliates; Non-trade receivables include: c. claims against common carriers for damages; and d. advances to suppliers, for merchandise. 0 Customers rs with credit balances are classified as current liabilities and should not be offset against customers with debit balances. Inventories The fourth line item usually presented as current asset on the face of the statement of financial position is inventory. PAS 2 defines inventories as assets: a. held for sale in the ordinary course of business; b. in the process of production for such sale; or c. in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services. Measurement of Inventories Inventories shall be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of Inventories The cost of inventories comprises all cost of purchase, cost of conversion, and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The cost of purchase of inventories comprises the purchase Price, import duties and other taxes, and transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of finished 800ds, materials, and services. Trade discounts, rebates, and other Similar items are deducted in determining the cost of purchase. @ Financial Accounting and Reporting The cost of goods purchased is computed as follows: Purchase price XXX, Add: Import duties XXXXX Freight in XXXXX Other business taxes XXXXX Other incidental costs to acquisition xxxxx OOK Total XXXXX Less: Trade discounts XXXXX, Trade allowances XXXXK Purchase rebates XXXXX XXX Cost of acquisition XXXXX The costs of conversion of inventories include costs directly related to the units of production, such as direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. These three items are usually called the three elements of costs, and their sum is technically called the total manufacturing costs, The cost of goods that are Processed from raw materials to finished product is computed as follows: Direct materials XXXXX Direct labor HXXKX Factory or manufacturing overhead XXXXX Total Manufacturing costs XXXXX The following Costs, however, are excluded from the cost of inventories and recognized as expenses in the period when they are incurred: 1, Abnormal amounts of wasted materials, labor, or other production costs 2. Storage costs, unless those costs are necessary in the production process before a further production stage 3. Administrative Overhead costs that do not contribute to bringing inventories to their present location and condition 4. Selling costs > Statement of Financial Position © The net realizable value of inventories is equal to the estimated selling price minus the estimated cost of completion and estimated cost to sell. Hence, the net realizable value is computed Net Realizable Value of Inventories as follows: Estimated selling price XXXXX Less: Estimated cost of completion XXXXX Estimated cost to sell XXXXX_ —_ XXXXX Net realizable value XXXXX Determination of Cost of Inventories The cost of inventories as required in the Standard shall be determined by using either: a. first-in, first-out; or b. weighted average. : The value of inventories that should appear in the statement of financial position shall be the lower between cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method or weighted average method. Figure 3.1 depicts how inventory is valued in the statement of financial position.

The manufacturing concerns label their inventories as finisheg goods inventory, goods in process inventory, and raw materials inventory, Since the preparation of statement of financial position follows the line item concept, the different classes of inventories are disclosed in the related notes.
