Study Notes
Elements of Financial Statements
- Financial statements comprise assets, liabilities, equity, income, and expenses.
- Key decisions regarding these elements include definition, recognition, measurement, and disclosure.
Defining Assets
- An asset is a present economic resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events.
- Key components of the definition:
- It's a right.
- It has the potential to generate future economic benefits.
- The entity controls the resource.
- Rights arise from contracts, legislation, or other means. Related rights are treated as a single asset.
- Only rights generating future economic benefits beyond those available to others are assets.
- Control, not ownership, is crucial. (e.g., a leased asset is a right-of-use asset).
- Assets stem from past events (purchase, production, or gift).
- Intangible assets (patents, copyrights) also qualify.
Defining Liabilities
- A liability is a present obligation of the entity to transfer an economic resource as a result of past events.
- Key components of the definition:
- The entity has a present obligation.
- The obligation is to transfer an economic resource.
- The obligation stems from a past event.
- Obligations can be legal or based on business practice.
- Liability settlement involves transferring economic resources.
Defining Equity
- Equity is the residual interest in the entity's assets after deducting liabilities.
- Equity changes due to financial performance and contributions/distributions to equity holders.
Defining Income
- Income is an increase in assets or decrease in liabilities resulting in an increase in equity (excluding owner contributions).
- Essential characteristics:
- An increase in assets or a decrease in liabilities.
- An increase in equity (excluding owner contributions).
- Income includes revenue (ordinary activities) and gains (may not be ordinary activities).
Defining Expenses
- Expenses are decreases in assets or increases in liabilities resulting in decreases in equity (excluding owner distributions).
- Essential characteristics:
- A decrease in assets or an increase in liabilities.
- A decrease in equity (excluding owner distributions).
- Expenses are the opposite of income. (e.g., wages, depreciation, electricity).
Recognizing Elements
- Recognition involves capturing items meeting the definition of an asset, liability, equity, income, or expense.
- Recognition criteria:
- Relevance and faithful representation are essential for useful information.
- Uncertainty about existence, low probability of inflows/outflows, or measurement uncertainty can impede recognition.
- The cost constraint must also be considered; benefits of recognition should outweigh the costs.
- Income/expenses are recognized concomitantly with changes in assets and liabilities— adjustments for contributions/distributions from equity are excluded.
Derecognition of Assets and Liabilities
- Derecognition occurs when an asset or liability no longer meets its definition.
- For assets, this usually pertains to loss of control; for liabilities, it's the absence of obligation.
- Derecognition information must faithfully represent the retained assets/liabilities and resulting changes.
Constraints on Recognition
- Business, legal, social, and political environments can constrain the consistent application of recognition criteria globally.
- Accounting standards may need adjustments to account for economic and social constraints alongside professional judgment.
- Constraints can also arise from human resources and cost.
Measurement of Elements
- Measurement decisions occur at initial recognition and subsequently to it.
- Different measurement bases (e.g., historical cost, current value, fair value) can be used; choice depends on factors considered.
- Accounting standards may specify the measurement basis for specific items (IAS 2 inventory, IAS 16 PPE).
Measurement Bases
- Cost-based:
- Historical cost: The value initially given. Easily understood and readily available but lacks predictive value.
- Amortized cost: Historical cost adjustments for amortisation, depreciation, or interest.
- Value-based:
- Fair value: Price paid or received in an orderly market transaction. More relevant but less reliable for all assets, and especially problematic for illiquid assets.
- Current cost: Economic cost to replace in present time. Relevant for some assets if intending to replace, but has reliability and comparability issues.
- Fair value less costs of disposal: Fair value less costs of selling.
- Net realisable value: Estimated selling price less completion and selling costs. Often used for inventory.
- Fulfilment value: Present value of cash to fulfil a liability.
- Value in use:Present value of future cash from the asset. Encompasses entity-specific considerations.
Present Value as a Technique
- Present value discounting future cash flows to address the time value of money.
- Issues include uncertain future cash flows and discount rate selection.
- Discount rates must be appropriate to risks involved.
Application of Measurement Principles in IFRSs
- IFRSs provide practical mechanisms for achieving the objectives of financial reporting.
- Different organizations gain greater consistency and understandability than individual judgmental reporting. Limited scope for abuse.
Specific IFRS examples (Leases, Employee Benefits, Share-Based Payments)
- IFRS 16 Leases defines lease recognition and measurement criteria for lessees and lessors, including short-term and low-value lease exemptions.
- IAS 19 Employee Benefits addresses short-term and long-term employee benefits like salaries, profit-sharing, bonuses, compensated absences (long-service leave).
- IFRS 2 Share-Based Payments discusses the measurement of share-based payment transactions (equity-settled vs cash-settled).
