# Revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Accounting ## Overview - Purpose: to serve as a guide in developing future PFRS and as a guide in resolving accounting issues not directly addressed by existing PFRSs. - Authoritative Status: - It is not a PFRS and does not define any instruction for measurement or disclosure - Conflict the PFRS must prevail ## Part 1. Introduction ### Conceptual Framework - Purpose: - underlying theory or foundation for the development or/and revision of accounting standards - contains concepts of General-Purpose Financial Reporting and summary of terms and concepts that underlie the preparation of financial statements - Purpose: 1. Assist the IASB in the development of existing and future policies 2. Assist the Financial Statements prepares in the development of consistent accounting policies 3. Assist all parties in understanding and interpreting the standards. - Not an accounting standard. The hierarchy goes: 1. PFRS specific to the transactions 2. PFRS dealing with similar matters 3. Conceptual Framework and Accounting Standards 4. Most recent pronouncements ## Part 2. Objective of General-Purpose Financial Reporting - This forms the foundation of conceptual framework; the “why” of accounting. | Users | Other Users | |---|---| | Primary | | | Existing potential investors | Lenders and other creditors | Employees | Customers | Government agencies | Suppliers | General public | ### Limitations: 1. do not and cannot provide all information; 2. are not designed to provide/show the value of the entity; 3. cannot accommodate every request of information; and 4. based on estimates and judgements rather than exact. ## Part 3. Qualitative Characteristics of Useful Financial Information - Qualities or attributes that make financial accounting information useful. | Qualitative | Fundamental | Enhancing | |---|---|---| | Relevance | Predictive confirmatory | Verifiability | | Faithful Representation | Completeness | Comparability | | | Neutrality | Understandability | | | Free from error | Timeliness | ### Fundamental Characteristics: - relate to the content (or substance) of FI; these are the characteristics that make financial information useful to users. 1. **Relevance** – refers to the capacity of the information to affect a decision. - **Predictive value** – if the information can be used as an input to predict future outcomes - **Confirmatory value** – if it provides feedback about previous valuations. 2. **Faithful Representation** – descriptions and figures in the reports should match what really existed (or happened). a. **Completeness** – all information necessary for a user to understand must be included and clearly stated in the reports - **Neutrality** – being neutral or fair. Prudence is the exercise of care and caution when dealing with uncertainties in the measurement process. - **Free from Error** - This means there are no errors or omissions. ### Enhancing Characteristics: - are intended to increase the usefulness of FI. 1. **Verifiability** - if it is supported by evidence; implies consensus. 2. **Comparability** - information is measured and reported in a similar fashion across entities. **Consistency** - information is measured and reported in a similar fashion across points in time. 3. **Understandability** – information should be presented in a form that users understand. 4. **Timeliness** - having the information available to users in time. ## Part 4. Financial Reporting and Reporting Entity - **Objective of Financial Statements**: provide information about an entity's A, L & E, Income and Expenses that are useful to users. - **Reporting Period** – span of time which transactions are accounted for. - **Reporting Entity** – main entity required or chooses to prepare FSs. | Reporting Entity | | |---|---| | Sole proprietorship, Partnership & Corporation | Parent Company | | Parent and Subsidiaries | Two or more entities | ### Types of Financial Statements: - **Consolidated Financial Statements** - when comprises both the parents and subsidiaries - **Unconsolidated FS** - when reporting party is parent company alone - **Combined FS** - prepared by two or more entities that are not linked by a P/S relationship ## Part 5. Elements of Financial Statements - **Elements of Financial Position** - ALOE - **Elements of Financial Performance** - Income/Expenses ## Part 6. Recognition and Derecognition - **Recognition** – process of capturing an item for inclusion in the Financial Statements that meets the definition of one of its elements and would provide useful information; Expense recognition includes Cause and Effect (COGS), Systematic and Rational allocation (DepEx) & immediate recognition (Direct write-off method). - **Derecognition** - removal of all or part of a recognized asset or liability from the SFP. 1. Asset loses control 2. Liability is no longer present obligation. ## Part 7. Measurement - **Measurement** is the process of quantifying the elements recognized in the FS. 1. **Historical Cost** – entry price; (a) Asset + TC and (b) Liability – TC 2. **Current Value** – using updated information to reflect conditions at the measurement date. - **Fair Value** - price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability - **Value in Use (asset) or fulfillment value (liability)** - **Value in Use** – PV of CF derived from the use of an asset - **Fulfillment Value** – PV of cash obliged to transfer to fulfill liability - Both do not include TC since they are based on cash flows - **Current cost** - Cost of an equivalent asset at the measurement date + TC (asset) - Consideration that would be received for an equivalent liability at the measurement date – TC (liability) ## Part 8. Presentation And Disclosure - **Classification** – sorting of ALOE based on shared or similar characteristics - **Offsetting** is generally not allowed - **Income & Expenses** are classified in P/L or OCI - **Aggregation** – adding together of ALOE + IE that have similar or shared characteristics and are included in the same classification ## Part 9. Concepts of Capital and Capital Maintenance | Concepts of Capital | Definition | |---|---| | **Financial** | Invested money or purchasing power; net assets or equity; historical cost | | **Physical** | Regarded as entity's productive capacity based on units of output per day. | | Concepts of Capital Maintenance | Definition | |---|---| | **Financial** | Profit is earned only if Net Assets, Beg < Net Assets, End, excluding contributions and distributions. Does not require the particular use of measurement. | | **Physical** | Profit is earned only if productive capacity, beg < productive capacity, end, excluding contributions and distributions. Requires the use of the current cost basis of measurement. | ## Basic Accounting Concepts and Process - **Accounting** - Service activity - To provide quantitative financial information about economic entities that is useful in decisions; language of business. ### Accounting Process and Cycle 1. **Documenting Transactions** - Accountable events – if it could affect the elements of FS, then journalized - External events (exchange and non-reciprocal transfer). - Internal events - happen without any other entity involved. 2. **Journalizing Transactions** - **General Journal**: chronological list of transactions and other events expressed in terms of debit and credits. - **Posting**: process of transferring info from journal to GJ. - Analyze the effects of transactions in debits and credits 3. **Posting to Ledger** - **Ledger** - accumulates the effect of during a period; to know the ending balance of each account - **Subsidiary ledger** - contains the supporting details or breakdown of the general ledger account 4. **Preparation of unadjusted Trial balance** - To determine of debits and credits - All accounts from the General Ledger will be transferred to the trial balance - It aids in locating errors in posting | Error | Description | |---|---| | Transplacement error | | | Transposition Error | | | Mixed Error | Misposting | | Omission error | | 5. **Preparation of Adjusting Journal Entries** - To bring the accounts up to date of an accrual basis - Affects at least one real account and one nominal account ### Three classes of accounts: 1. **Real accounts** - permanent or balance sheet accounts; carried from one accounting period to another. 2. **Nominal accounts** - temporary or income statement accounts; they are closed at the end of every accounting period. 3. **Mixed accounts** - they have the nature of both real and nominal accounts and are subject to adjustments; prepaid expensed and unearned income. ### Classification of Adjusting Journal Entries | Classification | Description | |---|---| | Accruals | Accrued expense Accrued income | | Deferrals | Prepaid expense Unearned income | | Estimates | Depreciation Doubtful accounts | | Setting up ending inventory | | 6. **Preparation of Worksheet / Adjusted Trial Balance** - Pertains to 10-column sheet; not part of the formal accounting records - Output: Adjusted Trial Balance ### Under the IS column in the worksheet: - Total Debits > Total Credits | Net Loss Total - Debits < Total Credits | Net Income ### Under the BS column in the worksheet: - Total Debits > Total Credits | Net Income - Total Debits < Total Credits□ Net Loss 7. **Preparation of Financial Statements** - SFP, SCI, SCE, SCF and Notes to FS - Based on standard of uniformity 8. **Journalizing and posting of CE** - To bring temporary accounts to zero - nominal accounts will be closed to income summary account - Close all income accounts - Close all expense accounts 9. **Preparation of post-closing Trial Balance** - Real accounts only; optional step 10. **Reversing Entries** - Optional step; simplifies recording of certain transactions. - Is made if an adjustment previously entered increases a SFP account. ## The Standard (IFRS and GAAP) - PFRS are guiding principles rather than laws - Paragraphs and pronouncements in bold and plain wordings have equal authority; those in bold dictate principles, and those in plain txt are supporting principles - FSRSC - current setting body in the Philippines; the successor to the Accounting Standards Council (ASC). The FRSC’s main function is to prepare interpretations of PFRS for approval by the Philippine Interpretations Committee (PIC). - IASB is the successor of the International Accounting Standards Council (IASC). - The chairman and the members are appointed by the PRC upon BOA and the APO. ### The Standard setting processes 1. Consideration OF IASB pronouncements 2. Formulation of a task force to advise the FRSC 3. Issuance for comment an exposure draft. 4. Consideration of all comments received within the comment period 5. Approval of a standard or an interpretation by a majority of FSRSC members. ## Cash and Cash Equivalents ### Overview: 1. refers to money, readily available/unrestricted use 2. used as medium of exchange 3. includes money and other negotiables ### Measurement of cash: - Face Value ### Considerations in accounting for cash: - **In general**: - **Part of Cash**: unrestricted and immediately available for use in the current operations such as - for payment of OPEX - for payment of CL - for acquisition of CA - **Other NCA**: for use other than current operations. | Cash | Description | |---|---| | **On Hand** | Undeposited collections – currencies and deposits | | **In Bank** | Working fund – cash set aside for short-term demand.

Theoretically correct | ## Special Considerations 1. **Goods in Transit** - **FOB shipping point** - Buyer shoulders the freight and the ownership of the goods is transferred to the buyer upon possession of the shipping carrier; essentially the same with FOB SP. - **FOB Destination** - Buyer shoulders the freight charges; essentially the same with FOB SP. - **Free Along Side (FAS)** - Seller is responsible for the freight charges and the risks until the goods are unloaded at the point of destination. - **Cost, Insurance, Freight (CIF)** - Buyer - **Ex-ship** - Seller 2. **Consigned goods** - Remains to the entity - included 3. **Goods in the hand of agent** - Remains to the entity - included 4. **Held by customer for trial/approval** - Remains to the entity - included 5. **Bill-and-hold arrangement** - Remains possession - included until not billed 5. **Segregated goods** - **Special order** - With customer specifications - excluded - **Customarily manufactured goods** - Physically segregated – included until delivered 6. **Installment sales** - Included until fully paid 7. **Good sold with buyback** - Product financing arrangement, included in transferor 8. **Good under layway sale** - Goods are not transferred unless fully paid 9. **Goods sold with refund** - Right to rescind the purchase of goods - excluded ## Subsequent Measurement – at LCnrv - also termed as impairment of inventory; done on a per item basis. | Account | Value | |---|---| | **Inventories** | | | Net Realizable Value | XX | | Less: Historical cost | (xx) | | Loss on inventory WD | XX | | Account | Value | |---|---| | **Finished Goods** | | | Estimated SP | XX | | Less: Cost to Sell | (xx) | | Net Realizable Value | XX | | Account | Value | |---|---| | **Work-in-process** | | | Estimated SP | XX | | Less: Cost to complete | (xx) | | Less: Cost to Sell | (xx) | | Net Realizable Value | XX | | Account | Description | |---|---| | **Raw Materials** | Impaired only if FG is impaired; NRV = current replacement cost | ## Purchase Commitments - follows the Principle of Conservatism, and NRV recognition. Accounts Payable is Fixed, Purchases can go down, but never go above the contract terms. Upon incurrence of loss, Gains can be recovered up to the extent of the loss only. | Commitments | Description | |---|---| | Cancellable PC | Can simply cancel; no provision nor journal entries. Disclose the ff: future loss, can be estimated and material amount. | | Noncancellable PC | Entity is obligated to perform. There is a loss on purchase commitment. | ## Inventory Estimation Methods - When physical count is impossible to perform, inventory estimation methods may be performed. Done for the reasons: | Reason | Description | |---|---| | Interim financial statements | Necessary to prove the correctness and reasonableness of such count by making an estimate | | The inventory is destroyed by fire and inventory is required for insurance purposes. | | ### Gross Profit Method - assumes that the GPR remains approximately the same from period to period. | Account | Value | |---|---| | COGS | XX | | GPR | XX | | Net Sales | XX | | Sales | XX | | Sales Return | XX | | Net Sales | XX | - Sales Allowances and Sales Discount are not included since these do not decrease the physical flow of inventories. | Account | Value | |---|---| | Estimated cost of inventory on hand | XX | | Inventory on physical count | XX | | Inventory shortage/(overage) | XX | ### Retail Method - used in the retail industry for measuring large quantities of inventories with rapidly changing items. | Account | Value | |---|---| | Beginning Inventory | t XX | | Purchases | XX | | Freight In | XX | | Purchase returns | (xx) | | Purchase allowances | (xx) | | Purchase discounts | (xx) | | Department Transfer-In | XX | | Department Transfer-Out | (xx) | | Stolen/Abnormal spoilage | XX | | Net Mark-up | XX | | COGAS – LCNRV/Conservative | XX | | Net Markdown | (xx) | | COGAS – Average | XX | | Beginning Inventory | (xx) | | COGAS - FIFO | XX | | Account | Value | |---|---| | Retail | | | XX | | XX | | (xx) | | XX | | | | XX | | (xx) | | XX | | XX | | XX | | (xx) | | XX | | (xx) | | XX | | XX | | XX | | Account | Value | |---|---| | Cost rate | | | | | | LCNRV/Conservative | XX | | Average | XX | | FIFO | XX | | | | | | x% | | | x% | | | x% | | Estimated Ending Inventory at retail | XX | | x cost-to-retail ratio | | | Estimated cost of ending inventory | XX | | | | | Gross Sales | XX | | Sales Return | (xx) | | Employee Discount | (xx) | | Normal spoilage | XX | | COGAS at
