Reporting Measurement Principles IFRS generally uses one of two measurement principles, the historical cost principle or the fair value principle. • Historical cost principle (or cost principle): dictates that companies record assets at their cost. This is true not only at the time the asset is purchased, but also over the time the asset is held. • Fair value principle: states that assets and liabilities should be reported at fair value (the price received to sell an asset or settle a liability). 8 The Accounting System Session 1 F. Reporting Qualities of useful information The IASB conceptual framework states that the primary objective of financial reporting is to provide financial information that is useful to investors and creditors for making decisions about providing capital.

Reporting 32 The Financial Statements Session 1 F. Reporting 33 Session 1 F. Reporting The GAAP 34 The GAAP Session 1 F. Reporting Our accounting system has a long and distinguished history. An Italian monk and mathematician, Fray Luca Pacioli, published the first elements of doubleentry bookkeeping in 1494.* Prior to 1933, the management teams of most companies were largely free to choose their own financial reporting practices. * Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proportionalita (Summary of arithmetic, geometry, proportions and proportionality) 35 The GAAP Session 1 F. Reporting In order to assure high-quality financial reporting, accountants present financial statements in conformity with accounting standards issued by standard-setting bodies. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) 36 The GAAP Session 1 F. Reporting 37 The GAAP Session 1 F. Reporting Two sets of standards accepted for international use: ▪ U.S. GAAP, issued by the FASB http://www.fasb.org/home ▪ International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the IASB http://www.ifrs.org/ Different jurisdictions Different rules US GAAP (FASB – SEC) IFRS & IAS (IASB) – National bodies - Governments 38 The GAAP Session 1 F. Reporting Securities Act of 1933 Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been given broad powers to determine measurement rules for financial statements in the USA 39 The GAAP Session 1 F. Reporting The SEC has worked closely with the accounting profession to work out the detailed rules that have become known as GAAP Currently, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is recognized as the body to formulate US GAAP which are applied by most companies in the U.S.A. 40 The GAAP Session 1 F. Reporting IASB (International Accounting Standards Board): ▪ Private institution; ▪ Issuer of IFRS (former IAS); ▪ Interpretations IFRICs (International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee) and SICs (Standards Interpretations Committee) 41 The GAAP Session 1 F. Reporting 42 http://www.ifrs.org/Pages/default.aspx The GAAP Session 1 F. Reporting Global Convergence of Accounting Standards Since 2002, there has been substantial movement toward the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). They are used in more than 130 countries Examples of jurisdictions requiring the use of IFRS : • European Union (2005, 2008) • Israel, Turkey & S Africa (2008) • Australia and New Zealand (2005), Canada (2009-11) • Brazil (2010), Chile (2009), Mexico & Perú (2012), Colombia (2016) • UAE, Saudi Arabia (2008), Hong Kong, Malaysia &South Korea (2016) In the United States, the SEC allows foreign companies whose stock is traded in the U.S.A. to use IFRS. Japanese companies also can use IFRS. You can find the use of IFRS by jurisdiction via the following link: https://www.iasplus.com/en/resources/ifrs-topics/use-of-ifrs 43 The GAAP Session 1 F. Reporting Differences in Accounting Methods 44 Session 1 F. Reporting Management responsibility & auditing 45 Management responsibility and auditing Session 1 F. Reporting Companies incur the cost of preparing the financial statements and bear the following economic consequences of their publication . . . ✓ Effects on the selling price of stock. ✓ Effects on the amount of bonuses received by managers and other employees. ✓ Loss of competitive information to other companies. 46 Management responsibility and auditing Session 1 F. Reporting Ethical Conduct 47 Management responsibility and auditing Session 1 F. Reporting Ensuring the Accuracy of Financial Statements To ensure the accuracy of the company’s financial information, management: • Maintains a system of controls • Hires external independent or external auditors • Forms a committee of the Board of Directors to review these other two safeguards. 48 Management responsibility and auditing Session 1 F. Reporting External Audit An audit is an examination of the financial reports to ensure that they represent what they claim and conform with GAAP 49 Overall, I believe these financial statements are fairly stated Management responsibility and auditing Session 1 F. Reporting 50 Management responsibility and auditing Session 1 F. Reporting Ethics, reputation and legal liability 51 Session 1 F. Reporting Accounting Strategy & Financial Disclosure 52 Accounting Strategy and Financial Disclosure Session 1 F. Reporting 53 Source: The World Bank & UNODC Accounting Strategy and Financial Disclosure Session 1 F. Reporting • Parent Company stand alone Financial Statements or/and Consolidated Financial Statements ▪ Where to get this information? ▪ Be aware of Financial Statements Annexes. • Financial Statements (Conceptual Framework): ▪ The Balance Sheet ▪ The Income Statement ▪ Cash Flow Statement ▪ The statement of owners’ or stockholders’ equity. • Auditor’s Report: Limiting their responsibility: Has The company performed an auditor change? 54 Accounting Strategy and Financial Disclosure Session 1 F. Reporting • Notes to Financial Statements: cross references to Financial Statements. • How are reflected in Financial Statements relevant issues published? • Collaboration of Accounting and Financial Analysis Department with the different Company Areas: Legal & Compliance Department, Tax Department, Finance Department, Management Control, Controller office, Marketing and Sales, Operations, Procurement and Logistics. • Implication (coherence) of financial risk coverage policy in Financial Statements. • Consequences of potential or actual tax/financial inspections. 55 Accounting Strategy and Financial Disclosure Session 1 F. Reporting • Accounting Rules: ▪ Identify key accounting policies: Analyze policies and estimates the firm uses to measure its critical factors and risks ▪ How the firm’s accounting policies compare to the norms in the industry? • Comparative Information: two/three years for Balance Sheet & two/three years for Income & Cash Flow Statement • Financial KPI’s for decision making: “non gaap measures”: ▪ Gross Margin ▪ EBITDA (Earnings Before Interests Taxes Depreciation & Amortization). ▪ Net Financial Debt 56 Accounting Strategy and Financial Disclosure Session 1 F. Reporting Economic Entity Financial Information Accounting Identifies Measures & Communicates Financial Statements Additional Information Balance Sheet President’s letter Income Statement Prospectuses, Statement of Cash Flows SEC Reporting Statement of Owners’ or Stockholders’ Equity Note Disclosures GAAP 57 News and Press releases Forecasts Environmental Reports Non-GAAP measures Not GAAP Accounting Strategy and Financial Disclosure Session 1 F. Reporting Quality of Financial Disclosures: ▪ Do disclosures show the firm’s business strategy and its economic consequences? ▪ Do the financial statements explain the key accounting policies and assumptions? ▪ Does the company explain its current performance? ▪ When accounting rules restrict the firm from measuring its key success factors, does the firm provide adequate additional disclosure to help outsiders how these factors are managed? ▪ Quality of segment disclosure ▪ How good is the Investor Relations program/team? ▪ Do managers face strong incentives to use accounting discretion to manage earnings? Debt covenants, bonus targets, stock options plans, reducing tax payments? ▪ Realistic estimations in the past? Is there a justification? 58 Accounting Strategy and Financial Disclosure Session 1 F. Reporting • Some companies sacrifice value creation to get short term targets. • Moderate and constant growth is much more valued by the market than strong & volatile growth, surprises affect negatively to share value of quoted companies • Lack of transparency may “under price” shares Trade-off between offering additional information or compulsory disclosures: Good because….. Bad because…. Once you offer additional information you can not cease on it. But sometimes, it may not be easy to get the same information Legal risks Information for competitors Additional information may reduce risk in terms of understanding Reduce costs for analysts Sign of “quality” 59 Session 1 F.

Reporting PURPOSE OF THE BALANCE SHEET ✓ To set out the financial position of an enterprise at a given date, i.e. to report the ASSETS and CLAIMS of an company ✓ The Balance Sheet / Statement of Financial Position (BS) has two counterbalancing sections: ✓ the left side: assets (the resources of an enterprise) ✓ the right side: liabilities and Shareholders’ equity (claims against those resources). ✓ It is a status report rather than a flow report. Because the BS shows the financial status at a particular point in time, it is always dated 3 The Balance Sheet Session 2 F. Reporting ELEMENTS OF THE BALANCE SHEET A = L + SE (Assets) Economic resources with probable future benefits owned or controlled by the entity. They are expected to benefit the company by producing cash inflows or reducing cash outflows They are measured by the historical cost principle or fair value (depending on the regulation). (Liabilities) Liabilities or debts are probable future sacrifices of economic benefits arising from present obligations of a business to transfer cash or other assets or to provide services as a result of past transactions or events. Entities that a company owes money to are called creditors. 4 (Shareholders’ Equity) The financing provided by the owners (also referred to as contributed capital) and by business operations (also referred to as earned capital or retained earnings). The Balance Sheet Session 2 F. Reporting In a classified Balance Sheet assets and liabilities are classified into two categories: current and non current Current assets are those to be used or turned into cash within the upcoming year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer Current liabilities or Short Term liabilities are those obligations to be paid or settled within the next 12 months Non Current assets or Long Term assets or Fixed Assets are those that will last longer than one year or the operating cycle Non Current liabilities or Long Term liabilities are those obligations to be paid or settled after the next 12 months 5 Session 2 F.

Reporting Current Assets (II) ✓ Inventories: The goods an entity has on hand is referred to as a finished goods. The material that it needs to make the goods is referred to as raw materials. The raw material in process of being completed (i.e., finished) is referred to as work in process (WIP). ✓ Prepaid expenses: The amounts an entity has already paid for services/goods to be delivered in the future (e.g., car insurance). ✓ Others… 8 The Balance Sheet Session 2 F.

Reporting Unearned revenues: The monetary amounts received by an entity that accepts up-front payments of cash in exchange for future delivery of its products. ✓ Example: Your advance cash payment for a three-year subscription to Financial Times requires their sacrifice of future economic benefits (they are liable) to provide the magazine. It is termed “unearned” as it represents a service (i.e., the subscription) that has NOT yet been completed (i.e., delivered to your door). It will be “earned” as delivery takes place. 12 The Balance Sheet Session 2 F. Reporting Non-Current Liabilities ✓ Bonds payable – The amount due to bond purchasers under terms of the bond issue. ✓ Long-term borrowings/loans/financial debt – Monetary amounts for bank loans, notes payable and other commercial paper that does not have to be repaid within one year. ✓ Others … 13 The Balance Sheet Session 2 F.

Reporting But… how do we record transactions? 46 Recording Transactions Session 2 F. Reporting Accounts An individual accounting record of increases and decreases in a specific Asset, Liability, or Shareholders’ Equity item. Account Title Three parts : 1) the Title of the account Debit 2) a left or Debit side 3) a right or Credit side 47 Credit Recording Transactions Session 2 F. Reporting Accounts 48 Recording Transactions Session 2 F. Reporting How accounts work? Every business transaction involves both a debit and a credit The type of account determines how increases and decreases are recorded: Accounting Equation Rules of Debit and Credit Assets Debit + Credit - = Liabilities Debit - Normal Debit Balance Credit + + Shareholders’ Equity Debit Credit - + Normal Credit Balance 49 Recording Transactions Session 2 F. Reporting The Accounting Cycle: steps in the transaction process Start of new period During the Period 1. Analyze transactions 2. Record journal entries in the general journal 3. Post amounts to the general ledger via the Taccounts 4. 5. 6. 7. At the End of the Period Prepare a trial balance to determine if debits equal credits Adjust revenues and expenses and related balance sheet accounts (record in journal and post to ledger) Prepare a complete set of financial statements and disseminate it to users Close revenues, gains, expenses, and losses to Retained Earnings (record in journal and post to ledger) 50 Recording Transactions Session 2 F. Reporting How companies keep track of account balances General Ledger General Journal T-accounts A = L + SE 51 The Balance Sheet Session 2 F. Reporting WHAT BUSINESS ACTIVITIES CAUSE CHANGES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT AMOUNTS? Nature of Business Transactions External Events: Exchanges between entity and one or more parties Ex: Purchase of a machine from a supplier Internal Events: Events that are not exchanges between parties but that have a direct and measurable effect on the entity Ex: Using up insurance paid in advance 52 Recording Transactions Session 2 F. Reporting Double-Entry accounting ✓ Every transaction affects at least two accounts (duality of effects) ✓ The accounting equation must remain in balance after each transaction A = L + SE (Assets) (Liabilities) 53 (Stockholders’ Equity) Recording Transactions Session 2 F. Reporting Balancing the Accounting Equation Step 1: Ask--What was received and what was given? ▪ Identify the accounts (by title) affected and make sure at least two accounts change. ▪ Classify them by type of account. Was each account an asset (A), a liability (L), or a shareholders’ equity (SE)? ▪ Determine the direction of the effect. Did the account increase [+] or decrease [-]? Step 2: Verify--Is the accounting equation in balance? ▪ Verify that the accounting equation (A = L + SE). 54 Recording Transactions Session 2 F. Reporting Analytical Tool: the journal entry Companies initially record transactions in chronological order. Thus, the journal is referred to as the book of original entry. The journal makes several significant contributions to the recording process: 1. It discloses in one place the complete effects of a transaction. 2. It provides a chronological record of transactions. 3. It helps to prevent or locate errors because the debit and credit amounts for each entry can be easily compared. 55 Recording Transactions Session 2 F. Reporting Analytical Tool: the journal entry Assume: On September 1, 2020, Softbyte SA shareholders invested €15,000 cash in the corporation in exchange for ordinary shares, and Softbyte purchased computer equipment for €7,000 cash. Demonstrate: How do you enter the transaction data in the journal? 56 Recording Transactions Session 2 F. Reporting Analytical Tool: the journal entry Date of the transaction. Debit account title. Credit account title. Brief explanation of the transaction. Reference column, which is left blank when the journal entry is made. This column is used later when the journal entries are transferred to the individual accounts. 57 Recording Transactions Session 2 F. Reporting Analytical Tool: the journal entry Simple entry: Involves one debit and one credit account. Compound entry: An entry that requires three or more accounts. The standard format requires that all debits be listed before the credits, for example. 58 Recording Transactions Posting transaction effects Ledger: The entire group of accounts maintained by a company. Provides the balance in each of the accounts as well as keeps track of changes in these balances. Companies may use various kinds of ledgers, but every company has a general ledger. 59 Session 2 F. Reporting Recording Transactions Posting transaction effects The General Ledger 60 Session 2 F. Reporting Recording Transactions Transferring information to T-Accounts After journal entries are prepared, the accountant posts (transfers) the amounts to each account affected by the transaction 61 Session 2 F. Reporting Recording Transactions Chart of Accounts Session 2 F. Reporting Lists the accounts and the account numbers that identify their location in the ledger. Numbering system: Usually starts with the statement of financial position accounts and follows with the income statement accounts. Number of accounts: Depends on the amount of detail management desires. Companies leave gaps to permit the insertion of new accounts as needed during the life of the business. 62 Recording Transactions Chart of Accounts 63 Session 2 F. Reporting Recording Transactions Session 2 F. Reporting Trial Balance The trial balance is a listing of all accounts in the general ledger and their balance at a given time The purpose of the trial balance is to make sure the debits and credits are equal before we prepare the balance sheet Three steps of preparation: 1) List the account titles and their balances in the appropriate debit or credit column. 2) Total the debit and credit columns. 3) Verify the equality of the two columns. 64 Recording Transactions Session 2 F.

Reporting REVENUE RECOGNITION PRINCIPLE Company accounts. Truthful top lines New global rules aim to make it harder for firms to fib about their revenues May 31st 2014 | NEW YORK | From the print edition WHEN companies should recognize revenues on their books is one of the most contentious and consequential issues in the staid profession of accounting. For simple sales of goods the timing is usually straightforward, but in the areas of services and long-term contracts it gets murky fast. Companies may manipulate the “top line” of their accounts—their revenues—say, by booking sales they are not yet sure of (to boost their reported profits) or not booking sales that they are certain of (to postpone profits, and the taxes on them).…. Revenue recognition is perhaps the biggest headache for investors trying to compare companies in different countries. The GAAP standard used in the United States is Byzantine, with more than 100 different protocols for various permutations of transactions and industries, whereas the IFRS rules applied in most of the rest of the world offer only broad guidance. Following 12 years of consultation, on May 28th the boards that control the two accounting systems released a new joint standard they hope will put these issues to rest. Scheduled to take effect in 2017, it represents a neat middle ground, adopting the IFRS’s principle of one size to fit all industries, but with GAAP-style clarity. It spells out how companies will have to break down sales contracts into their component obligations and allocate the total value among them, estimating the worth of any variable fees they expect, like performance bonuses. Firms will then recognize the revenue assigned to each individual element as it is completed. The biggest impact will be felt in industries that rely on bundled product-plus-service contracts, such as software and telecoms. In the 1990s Microsoft was accused of “cookie-jar accounting”, holding back revenue so as to recognize it during weak quarters, to smooth its reported earnings…. 20 Key Principles Session 3 & 4 F.
