Study Notes

Liabilities and Payables

Account payables include short-term liabilities that arise from the purchase of goods or services on credit.
Trade payables represent amounts owed to suppliers for goods or services purchased.
Trade payables are classified as current liabilities on the balance sheet.

Recognition and Measurement of Trade Payables

Trade payables are recognized when the entity receives the goods or services.
Trade payables are usually measured at the original invoice amount.
A debit note is a document sent to the supplier to reduce the amount owed.

Derecognition of Trade Payables

Trade payables are derecognized when the payment is made.
A financial asset or financial liability is derecognized when the entity no longer has the contractual rights or obligations.

Amortized Cost and IRR

The amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability includes the original amount, adjusted for interest and fees.
The purpose of calculating the IRR (interest rate of return) is to determine the effective interest rate of a loan.
IFRS 9 requires trade payables to be recognized at amortized cost.

Reverse Factoring

Reverse factoring or indirect factoring is a financing operation where the supplier's bank pays the supplier, and the entity repays the supplier's bank.
The reason for reverse factoring is to provide financing to the supplier.
Reverse factoring is similar to receiving financing from a bank, but with the supplier's bank as the intermediary.

Examples of provisions include warranties, lawsuit claims, and clean-up costs.
Taxes on the result of the year are typically paid in Italy in the following year.
A provision is recognized when a company has a present obligation as a result of a past event.
