LO 1-Understanding Non- Financial and Current Liabilities It is important for businesses to properly account for liabilities because it is useful for cash flow management Cash flow management is a key control factor for most companies Control of expenses and accounts payable can improve the efficiency of a business and can be particularly important during economic downturns LO 1 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 6 Canada, Ltd. LO 2-Definition of Liabilities, IFRS vs. ASPE Part A: Definition in IFRS Conceptual Framework (summary) A liability is a present obligation of the entity to transfer an economic resource as a result of past events. For a liability to exist, the following criteria must all be satisfied: 1. The entity has an obligation (that is, a present duty or responsibility to others that it has no practical ability to avoid). 2. The obligation is to transfer an economic resource to another party or parties. 3. The obligation exists as a result of past events. Part B: ASPE Definition in CPA Canada Handbook, Part II (summary) A liability is an obligation that arises from past transactions or events, which may result in a transfer of assets or provision of services. Liabilities have three essential characteristics: 4. They embody a duty or responsibility to others. LO 2 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 7 5. They entity has little or no discretion Canada, Ltd. to avoid the duty. Liability Definition and Characteristics A liability requires a duty or responsibility to perform in a specific way, therefore o It suggests there might be an economic burden o The requirement can be enforced by legal means A constructive obligation arises o From past or present practice o Indicates acknowledgement of a potential economic burden Entities must comply with statutes, laws, and regulations o A liability arises only if the provisions are violated LO 2 Under ASPE recognition requirements, Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, Canada, Ltd. 8 Financial Liabilities A financial liability (under ASPE and IFRS) is any liability that is a contractual obligation to either: o deliver cash or other financial assets to another party, or o exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another party under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the entity Liabilities that are created by legislation do not qualify as financial liabilities, they must be created by a contract LO 2 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 9 Canada, Ltd. Classification Classification of liabilities into financial and non-financial liabilities o Defines the accounting standard that is applied o Conceptual framework provides a basis for settling classification issues LO 2 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 10 Canada, Ltd. Measurement of Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities o Initially measured at fair value o Subsequent measurement generally at amortized cost (except those held for trading where fair value is used) o Include transaction costs at acquisition o Transaction costs after acquisition are expensed o Short-term liabilities are accounted for at maturity value—little difference between fair value and maturity value LO 2 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 11 Canada, Ltd. Measurement of Non- Financial Liabilities Non-financial liabilities—not payable in cash ASPE: no specific measurement standards (measurement varies based on nature of liability) IFRS: measured at best estimate of payment that would be required to settle the obligation at the date of the statement of financial position o Timing and amount are usually not fixed o Expected value or probability-weighted LO 2 average of possible outcomes Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, Canada, Ltd. 12 LO 3-What is a Current Liability? An important feature of liabilities is the timing of when they are due o Short-term maturity places a demand on current assets o Distant due dates do not result in a claim on current assets o Difference in timing and the effect on current assets distinguish current from non-current liabilities Separate current assets from non-current assets to show how working capital is used in the normal operating cycle LO 3 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 13 Canada, Ltd. Current Liability Under IFRS, liabilities are classified as current when they meet any one of the following conditions: o Expected to be settled within normal operating cycle o Held primarily for trading o Due within 12 months from the end of the reporting period o No unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the date of the statement of financial position LO 3 ASPE has a less specific Copyright definition, ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, similar 14 Canada, Ltd. 1) Bank Indebtedness Line-of-credit or revolving debt Revolving debt arrangements: an agreement entered with the bank that allows multiple borrowings up to a negotiated limit Repayments made whenever there are sufficient funds available Usually collateral required; some restrictions set Amount borrowed reported on the SFP; availability of funds and restrictions imposed by the financial institution are typically disclosed in the notes LO 3 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 15 Canada, Ltd. 2) Accounts Payable Also called trade accounts payable Amounts owed for goods, supplies or services related to the entity’s ordinary business activities purchased on open account Arise because of the time lag between receipt of goods and services and the payment for them Usually record liabilities when the goods are received Generally recorded when title has passed LO 3 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 16 Canada, Ltd. 3)Notes Payable Notes payable are written promises to pay a sum of money on a specified future date Arises from purchases, financing or other transactions Notes payable may be classified as either current or long-term depending on the payment due date Notes payable may be interest-bearing or zero-interest-bearing (non-interest- bearing) o In both cases, interest expense must be LO 3 accrued regardless Copyright ©2022of Johnwhen cash payment is Wiley & Sons, Canada, Ltd. 17 Notes Payable: Zero- Interest-Bearing For zero-interest-bearing notes, the difference between the amount of cash received at issuance and the higher face value at maturity represents the interest o The borrower receives the note’s present value and pays back the face value The interest expense is recorded over the life of the note LO 3 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 18 Canada, Ltd. 4)Current Maturities of Long- Term Debt The portion of long-term debt maturing within 12 months from the date of the statement of financial position is reported as a current liability Portions of long-term debts should not be reported as current liabilities if, by contract, they are retired by assets not classified as current assets Any liability due on demand, or due on demand within a year or operating cycle, even if it has payments due over a number of years, is reported as a current liability If a long-term debt is violated and becomes payable on demand, the debt is reclassified as LO 3 current Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 19 Canada, Ltd. 5)Short-Term Debt Expected to be Refinanced Short-term debt obligations are classified as current except if they are expected to be refinanced on a long-term basis, and no current assets will be required to settle Under IFRS, debt due within 12 months is classified as current, unless it is expected to be refinanced under an existing agreement for at least 12 months Under ASPE, currently maturing debt can be classified as long-term if there is irrefutable evidence when the financial statements are completed that the debt has been or will be converted to a long-term obligation LO 3 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 20 o The short-term debt reclassified cannot be more Canada, Ltd. Refinancing of Short-Term Debt PiP 13.3 Assume a company has $3 million of short- term debt at the reporting date. Company then issues $2 million of long-term debt after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Under ASPE, only Under IFRS, $3 million of $2 million can be maturing debt would still be reclassified as classified as current; IFRS long-term requirements are more stringent: the agreement must be in place at the date of the SFP LO 3 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 21 Canada, Ltd. Repayment of Short-Term Debt PiP 13.4 A company pays off short-term debt of $40,000 on Jan 17 and issues long-term debt of $100,000 on Feb 3. The company’s financial statements are date Dec 31 (prior year) and are issued on Mar 1. Refinancing does not appear to be linked to the short-term debt—both ASPE and IFRS require the debt to be classified as current Because repayment occurred before funds were obtained through long-term financing, the repayment used existing current assets LO 3 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 22 Canada, Ltd. 6) Cash Dividends Payable An amount a corporation owes to its shareholders because the board authorized a dividend Liability recognized at the dividend declaration date Generally paid within three months Classified as current liability LO 3 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 23 Canada, Ltd. 7) Preferred Dividends in Arrears Undeclared dividends on cumulative preferred shares are not a liability Not an obligation until distribution is authorized Disclose undeclared cumulative dividends in arrears in the notes LO 3 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 24 Canada, Ltd. 8) Share or Stock Dividends Payable Dividends payable in the form of additional shares Not recognized as a liability Do not meet the definition of a liability— do not require future outlays of economic resources Represents a transfer of equity from retained earnings to contributed capital LO 3 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 25 Canada, Ltd. 9) Rents and Royalties Payable This type of liability may be created by a “contractual agreement in which payments are conditional on the amount of revenue that is earned or the quantity of product that is produced or extracted.” Examples o Franchisees often pay the franchisor franchise fees calculated as a percentage of sales o Tenants in shopping centres may be required to pay additional rents based on sales o Manufacturers pay the holder of a patent a royalty for each unit produced LO 3 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 26 Canada, Ltd. 10) Customer Advances and Deposits Customers may pay deposits that guarantee the payment of expected future obligations, the performance of a future service or to cover possible future damage to property They are classified as either current or non- current liabilities depending on the specific conditions attached to the deposit If settlement of the deposit cannot be deferred for a period of more than 12 months from the SFP date, it is reported as a current liability LO 3 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 27 Canada, Ltd. 11)Taxes Payable: Sales Tax In some provinces, sales tax is applied to transfers of tangible property and to certain services The liability represents sales taxes that have been collected from customers but have not been remitted to the appropriate government Usually applied to the sale amount LO 3 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 28 Canada, Ltd. 12)Taxes Payable: Goods and Services Tax The GST is a value-added tax of 5% based on the value added to goods and services by each taxable entity The net amount is payable to Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)—deduct the GST paid on goods and services purchased from the GST collected by customers Some provinces charge Harmonized Sales Tax (provincial retail sales tax plus GST) which is accounted for in the same way as GST LO 3 GST collected is©2022 Copyright notJohnincluded Wiley & Sons, in 29 Canada, Ltd.

Asset Retirement Costs: IFRS versus ASPE Category of obligations—IFRS recognizes a broader group of non-financial obligations as liabilities: both legal and constructive obligations; ASPE recognizes legal obligation only Category of activities—costs related to production of the goods and services: ASPE capitalizes; IFRS recognizes as product costs LO 5 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 39 Canada, Ltd. Decommissioning and Restoration Obligations: Measurement Initially measured at “best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation” Because obligation will be met in the future; future costs must be discounted ARO cost is recorded as part of the cost of the related asset because it is necessary to acquire the asset Because no future economic benefit is associated with the ARO as a stand-alone asset, it is included in the asset account LO 5 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 40 Canada, Ltd. Decommissioning and Restoration Obligations: Recognition Expected ARO and cost increases arising from production activities Recognized differently by IFRS and ASPE IFRS ASPE Added to the obligation Added to the obligation amount; incremental amount (liability) and to costs caused by the capital asset production are added account, increasing to inventory as product future depreciation cost amount LO 5 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 41 Canada, Ltd. Decommissioning and Restoration Obligations: Allocation ARO cost is amortized to expense over the related asset’s useful life--depreciation Because ARO is measured on a discounted basis, interest must be accrued each period o Interest Expense under IFRS o Accretion Expense under ASPE Costs arising from catastrophic events do not result in an asset retirement obligation, and are not added to the cost base of the underlying asset LO 5 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 42 Canada, Ltd.

LO 7-Contingencies and Uncertain Commitments Issue: Does an obligation exist at the SFP date and what is the amount required to settle the obligation? Under ASPE a contingency is: “An existing condition or situation involving uncertainty as to possible gain or loss to an enterprise that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur” (CPA Handbook-Accounting, Part II, Section 3290.05) Gain contingencies and contingent assets are not recorded in the accounts LO 7 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 62 Canada, Ltd. Recognition of Contingent Liabilities IFRS ASPE Contingent liability: used Contingent liability: whole only for those existing or population of existing or possible obligations that possible obligations that are not recognized depend on the occurrence of a future event The approach taken by current standards is– determine the probability of a future event occurring (or not occurring) that would establish whether the outcome is a loss. LO 7 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 63 Canada, Ltd. Recognizing Contingent Losses (ASPE) Under ASPE, a contingent loss is recognized in income and as a liability if two conditions are met: o It is probable a future event will confirm the impairment or the liability and it relates to events occurring on or before the SFP date o The loss can be reasonably estimated—that is, it is possible to make a reasonable and reliable estimate Based on experience or expert guesses Often consists of a range of possible outcomes LO 7 Copyright ©2022 John Wiley & Sons, 64 Canada, Ltd. Disclosing Contingent Losses (ASPE) Contingencies with a higher degree of uncertainty require disclosure in addition to the accrual if o Occurrence is likely but a reasonable estimate cannot be determined o The likelihood of a confirming future event cannot be determined o The entity is exposed to loss above the amount accrued Information to be disclosed o Nature of the contingency o Estimated amount of the loss or a statement that an estimate cannot be made o The extent of loss exposure in excess of the LO 7 amount thatCopyright has ©2022 been recognized John Wiley & Sons, Canada, Ltd. 65 Recognizing Provisions under IFRS Under IFRS, provisions are required for situations where it is more likely than not that a present obligation exists A provision is recognized based on whether it is “probable” there will be an outflow of resources o Probable involves considerable judgement and subjectivity o So, recognition of losses and liabilities varies considerably o War, strikes, uninsurable catastrophes, economic recession are not accounting contingencies Provisions are liabilities; not contingent liabilities LO 7 If recognized, the best Copyright ©2022estimate and an expected 66 John Wiley & Sons, Canada, Ltd.

Litigation, Claims by Others, Assessments To recognize a loss and liability, the litigation cause must have occurred on or before the statement date—even if the company was not aware To evaluate the likelihood of an unfavourable outcome, consider: nature of the litigation, progress of the case, opinion of legal counsel, experience of the company, other similar cases, and the company’s response Estimating the amount of loss can rarely be done with certainty, and generally is not LO 7 disclosed (could produce Copyright a &negative ©2022 John Wiley Canada, Ltd.
