CASH/ACCRUAL AND
SINGLE ENTRY
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING REVIEW:
ERROR CORRECTION
(Reference: PAS 8)

Prior Period Errors – omissions, misstatements in the financial statements of prior periods
arising from a failure to use or misuse information that:

(a) was available when financial statements for those periods were authorized
for issue and
(b) could reasonably be expected to have been obtained and taken into
account in the preparation and presentation of those financial statements.

Prior Period Errors include the effects of mathematical mistakes, mistakes in


applying accounting policies, oversights or misinterpretation of facts and fraud.

The entity shall correct material prior period errors retrospective in the first set of financial
statements authorized for issue after their discovery by restating the net income and retained
earnings of prior period.

TYPES OF ERRORS AS TO ACCOUNTS AFFECTED:


A. INCOME STATEMENT ERRORS – errors affecting at least 2 income statement (nominal)
accounts only, the error in one income statement account is offset by the error in
another income statement account, thus the net income shall not be affected.

B. BALANCE SHEET ERRORS – errors affecting at least 2 balance sheet (real) accounts
only, thus will also have no effect to the net income.

C. MIXED ERRORS –errors affecting at least 1 income statement (nominal) account and at
least 1 balance sheet (real) account, the combination of which results to an erroneous
net income.

TYPES OF MIXED ERRORS (PRIOR PERIOD MIXED ERRORS)


A. COUNTER-BALANCING (OR SELF-CORRECTING ERRORS)
– errors in the profit of Year 1 that when not detected are automatically
counterbalanced in the following accounting period, Year 2. Net income amounts
on the income statements for the 2 consecutive accounting periods, Years 1 and 2,
are inaccurately stated in opposite directions; certain account balances on the
balance sheet at the end of the Year 1 are inaccurately stated, but the account
balances in the balance sheet at the end of Year 2 will be accurately stated.

The following accounts, when misstated are usually conter-balancing:


§ Misstatements of ending inventories
§ Accruals
CHAPTER 11: ERROR CORRECTION; CASH/ACCRUAL AND SINGLE ENTRY

o Accrued income (including Receivables/Sales)


o Accrued expense (including Payables/Purchases)
§ Deferrals
o Prepaid expenses (including Advances to suppliers/Purchases)
o Unearned income (including Advances form customers/Sales)

B. NONCOUNTER BALANCING ERRORS


– errors in the profit of Year 1 that, when not detected are not automatically
counterbalanced in Year 2. Profit of Year 2 is correctly stated. Account balances on
Years 1 and 2 balance sheets will be inaccurately stated in the same manner.
– By residual definition, all other mixed errors which affect only the year of
incurrence and will not counterbalance the following year shall be regarded as
noncounter balancing errors. This type of error normally include the capitalization
of non-capitalizable expenditures and expensing a capitalizable expenditures along
with their effects on corresponding depreciation.

GUIDELINES IN SOLVING ERROR CORRECTION PROBLEMS:

- Where the requirement is the EFFECT OF ERRORS TO NET INCOME:

1. Consider all Current Period Error (Counter Balancing* or Non-counter balancing**)


2. Consider all Immediate Prior Year Counter Balancing Errors
3. Ignore all Prior Years’ Non-counter balancing errors

* The effect of a COUNTERBALANCING ERROR to net income of the year of incurrence and
the year following the year of incurrence shall be:
NET INCOME OF THE NET INCOME OF THE
YEAR OF INCURRENCE SUBSEQUENT YEAR
Counter Balancing Error in an ASSET
(e.g. Prepayments, Accrued Income, DIRECT INDIRECT
Inventory, end, AR/Sales)
Counter Balancing Error in a LIABILITY
(e.g. Unearned Income, Accrued INDIRECT DIRECT
expense, AP/Purchases)

** The effect of a NON-COUNTERBALANCING ERROR in net income of the year of incurrence


and the year following the year of incurrence shall be:
NET INCOME OF THE NET INCOME OF THE
YEAR OF INCURRENCE SUBSEQUENT YEAR
Counter Balancing Error in an ASSET DIRECT NO EFFECT
Counter Balancing Error in a LIABILITY INDIRECT NO EFFECT

- Where the requirement is the EFFECT OF ERRORS TO RETAINED EARNINGS, END (AFTER
CLOSING ENTRIES):
1. Consider all Current Period Errors (CB or NCB)
2. Ignore all Prior Year Counter Balancing Errors
3. Consider all Prior Years’ Non-counterbalancing Errors (as they affected the prior years’
net income)

- Where the requirement is the EFFECT OF ERRORS TO WORKING CAPITAL (CURRENT


ASSETS – CURRENT LIAB)
4. Consider all errors affecting current assets and current liabilities as of the end of the
current period only.

CHAPTER 11: ERROR CORRECTION; CASH/ACCRUAL AND SINGLE ENTRY

5. The error in the current asset is DIRECTLY related to the WC (overstated current asset
means overstated WC, and vice versa)
6. The error in the current liability is INVERSELY related to the WC (overstated current
liability means understated WC, and vice versa)

The formula for converting records from cash to accrual or accrual to cash is actually derived
from the transaction analysis of the balance sheet account being used as a result of the accrual
basis of accounting (other than cash).

Thus, for sales, the formula is derived from the transaction analysis of the account Accounts
Receivable. Where, applicable, other balance sheet related accounts to sales such as Notes
Receivable – Trade and Advances from Customers, should also be included in the formula
derivation. For simplicity purposes, the accounts receivable and notes receivable are simply
added on the debit side of the T-account (beginning and ending), while the advances from
customer balances (beginning and ending) are kept on the credit side of the T-account.
(receivables being an asset while advances from customers being a liability). The rest are
simple transaction analysis which are either debited or credited to the accounts receivable
account.

AUDITING PROBLEMS
Accounting for Changes and Correction of Errors

Definition of Terms
 Accounting policies - specific principles, bases, conventions, rules and
practices adopted by an enterprise in preparing and presenting the financial
statements.
 Fundamental errors - are errors discovered in the current period with such
significance, that the financial statements of one or more prior periods can no
longer be considered to have been reliable at the date of their issue.

Reasons why Accounting Changes Occur:


1. The accounting profession may mandate that a new accounting principle is to
be used.
2. Changing economic conditions
3. Changes in technology and in operations
4. New experience or new information may prompt companies to change its
estimate of revenues or expenses.

TYPES OF ACCOUNTING CHANGES


1. Change in Accounting Principles
This is a change from one generally accepted accounting principle to another
generally accepted accounting principle. Adoption of a new principle in recognition of
events that have occurred for the 1st time is not a change in accounting principle.
There is no change in accounting principle when the depreciation method adopted for
a newly acquired asset is different from the method or methods used for previously
recorded assets of similar class.
A change from a principle that is not generally accepted to one that is generally
accepted is considered to be an error correction than a change in accounting principle.

Accounting Procedure:
Benchmark treatment
A change in accounting policy/principle should be applied retroactively unless
the amount of any resulting adjustment that relates to prior periods is not reasonably
determinable. Any resulting adjustment should be reported as an adjustment to the
opening balance of the retained earnings. Comparative information should be restated
unless it is impracticable to do so.

2. Change in Accounting Estimate


This is a change that occurs as a result of new information or acquisition of
additional experience. Changes in estimates are viewed as normal recurring
corrections and adjustments or the natural result of the accounting process.
Retroactive treatment is prohibited.

Downloaded by cherry bombbomb (kawaiisevenn@gmail.com)


lOMoARcPSD|10472869

Accounting Procedure:
a. Report current and future financial statements on the new basis.
b. Present prior period financial statements as previously reported.
c. Make no adjustment to current period opening balances.

NOTE: Whenever it is impossible to determine whether a change in principle or


a change in estimate has occurred, or if an asset is affected by both a change in
principle and a change in estimate during the same period, the change should be
accounted for as a change in estimate rather than a change in principle.

CORRECTION OF ERRORS

No company whether large or small is immune from errors. Errors may be


intentional or unintentional. Intentional errors are significant because of the presence
of fraud or intent to deceive. These errors are made for the purpose of concealing
fraud or misappropriation, evading taxes, manipulating or window-dressing the
company's financial statements. Unintentional errors were not deliberately
committed. They result from carelessness or ignorance on the part of the company's
personnel or it may result from poor internal control.

The risk of material errors may be minimized through the installation of good
internal control and the application of sound accounting procedures. Prior period
adjustments, also called fundamental errors are reported in the current year as
adjustment in the beginning balance of the Retained Earnings account. Prior period
statements should be restated to correct the error when comparative statements are
prepared.

Accounting Procedure:
1. If detected in the period the error occurred, correct the accounts through
normal accounting cycle adjustments.
2. If detected in subsequent period, adjust errors by making prior period
adjustments directly to Retained Earnings or restate the beginning
balance of the Retained Earnings account.
3. Correct all previously presented prior period statements.

Examples of accounting errors:


a. A change from an accounting principle that is not generally accepted to an
accounting principle that is generally accepted.
b. Mathematical mistakes

lOMoARcPSD|10472869

c. Mistake in the application of accounting of accounting principle


d. Oversight
e. Misuse of facts
f. Incorrect classification of expense as an asset or vice versa
g. Changes in estimates which are not prepared in good faith

TYPES OF ERRORS
1. Financial Position Errors
This type of error refers to improper classification of real accounts such as
assets, liabilities or stockholders' equity accounts. They have no effect on net income
2. Income Statement Errors
This type of error affects only the presentation of nominal accounts in the
Income Statement. It involves the improper classification of revenues and expenses
accounts, hence, only the details of the Income Statement are misstated. A
reclassifying entry is necessary only if the error is discovered in the same year it is
committed. It has no effect on the Balance sheet and in the Income Statement. If the
error is discovered in a subsequent year, no classification entry is necessary.
3. Combined Financial Position and Income Statement errors
This affects both the balance Sheet and the Income Statement because they
result in the misstatement of net income.

Classifications of Combined Financial Position and Income Statement Errors:


a. Counter Balancing Errors
 Errors which if not detected are automatically offset or corrected over two
periods. Restatement is necessary even if a correcting journal entry
is not required.
 Effect: Net Income of two successive periods is misstated. The
amount of misstatement in one period is equal to but opposite in effect in
the income of the next period.
 Counterbalancing errors include the misstatements of the following
accounts:
1. Inventories to include the following
a. Purchases
b. Sales
2. Prepaid expenses
3. Deferred Income
4. Accrued expense
5. Accrued Income

GUIDELINES
 Books are open

Downloaded by cherry bombbomb (kawaiisevenn@gmail.com)


lOMoARcPSD|10472869

1. If the error is already counterbalanced and the company is in the


second year, an entry is necessary to correct the current period
and to adjust the beginning balance of the Retained earnings.
2. If the error is not yet counterbalanced, an entry is necessary to
adjust the beginning balance of the Retained earnings and
correct the current period.
 Books are closed
1. If the error is already counterbalanced, no entry is necessary.
2. If the error is not yet counterbalanced, an entry is necessary to
adjust the present balance of the Retained earnings.

b. Non Counter Balancing Errors


 Errors which take longer than two periods to correct themselves. This
type of error is carried over to the subsequent accounting period until
corrected or until the balance sheet item involved is removed from the
accounts by sales, retirement or other means of disposal.

GUIDELINES IN ERROR ANALYSIS


1. What accounts are affected?
2. How were these accounts affected? Was there an understatement or an
overstatement?
3. What was the erroneous entry made or what was the entry omitted?
4. What is the correct entry?
5. What is the necessary adjusting or correcting entry?

minor repairs of ₱5,000 in 2017. The company depreciates
• Recognition of major repairs as expenses assets at 10% of cost per year. Minor repairs should not be
