Inventories
Inventories include:
• goods: commodities purchased and held for resale
• supplies: raw materials
• products: intermediate products, finished goods
5 PwC
Out of scope
• Office supplies
– expensed
• Fixed assets
– durable use for own activities
• E.g. Most spare parts and servicing equipment are usually carried as
inventory and recognised as an expense as consumed. However,
major spare parts and stand-by equipment qualify as property, plant
and equipment when the enterprise expects to use them during more
than one period or if they can be used only in connection with an item
of property, plant and equipment and their use is expected to be
irregular. 6 PwC
