Study Notes
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting
- Established by the International Accounting Standards Board in September 2010 and revised in March 2018.
Status and Purpose
- Provides fundamental principles and guidelines for preparing and presenting financial statements.
Chapter 1: Objective of General Purpose Financial Reporting
- Aims to provide useful financial information for decision-making purposes.
- Addresses economic resources, claims against an entity, and changes in resources and claims.
- Discusses financial performance through:
- Accrual accounting
- Past cash flows
- Non-performance-related changes in resources
Chapter 2: Qualitative Characteristics of Useful Financial Information
- Highlights fundamental qualitative characteristics: relevance and faithful representation.
- Introduces enhancing qualitative characteristics: comparability, verifiability, timeliness, and understandability.
- Notes the cost constraint on financial reporting usefulness.
Chapter 3: Financial Statements and the Reporting Entity
- Defines financial statements and their objectives.
- Discusses the concept of the reporting period and the going concern assumption.
- Differentiates between consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements.
Chapter 4: Elements of Financial Statements
- Defines key elements including assets and liabilities.
- An asset is a right with potential to produce economic benefits, which must be controlled by the entity.
- Discusses rights associated with legal ownership and how these can be treated as single assets for accounting purposes.
- Acknowledges uncertainty in the existence of some rights and the implications for asset recognition.
Economic Resources and Benefits
- Economic resources must have the potential to generate benefits beyond those available to all parties.
- A right can qualify as an asset even with a low likelihood of generating economic benefits.
Liability Recognition
- Present obligations arise from past events and involve a potential transfer of economic resources.
- Performance under contracts alters rights and obligations, establishing assets (rights to receive resources) and liabilities (obligations to transfer resources).
Contractual Rights and Obligations
- Contracts create specific rights and obligations that affect financial reporting.
- The substance of these rights and obligations is reported in financial statements.
- Both explicit and implicit terms of contracts must be considered for accurate representation.
