Conceptual Framework
The IFRS Framework describes the basic concepts that underlie the preparation and presentation of financial
statements for external users. A conceptual framework can be seen as a statement of generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) that form a frame of reference for the evaluation of existing practices and the development of new
ones.
Purpose of framework
• Assist in the development of future IFRS and the review of existing standards by setting out the underlying
concepts
• Promote harmonisation of accounting regulation and standards
• Assist the preparers of financial statements in the application of IFRS and dealing with accounting transactions
for which there is not (yet ) an accounting standard
Advantages of a conceptual framework
• Financial statements are more consistent with each other
• Avoids firefighting approach and a has a proactive approach in determining best policy
• Less open to criticism of political/external pressure
• Has a principles based approach
• Some standards may concentrate on effect on statement of financial position; others on statement of
profit or loss
Disadvantages of a conceptual framework
• A single conceptual framework cannot be devised which will suit all users Need for a variety
of standards for different purposes
• Preparing and implementing standards may still be difficult with a framework
Qualitative characteristics of useful financial information
They identify the types of information likely to be most useful to users in making decisions about the reporting entity
on the basis of information in its financial report.
Fundamental qualitative characteristics
Relevance
Relevant financial information is capable of making a difference in the decisions made by users if it has
predictive value, confirmatory value, or both.
Materiality is an entity-specific aspect of relevance based on the nature or magnitude (or both) of the items to
which the information relates in the context of an individual entity's financial report
Faithful representation
Information must be complete, neutral and free from material error
Enhancing qualitative characteristics
Comparability
Comparison with similar information about other entities and with similar information about the same entity
for another period or another date:
Verifiability
It helps to assure users that information represents faithfully the economic phenomena it purports to
represent. Verifiability means that different knowledgeable and independent observers could reach
consensus, although not necessarily complete agreement
Timeliness
It means that information is available to decision-makers in time to be capable of influencing their decisions.
Understandability
Classifying, characterising and presenting information clearly and concisely. Information should not be
excluded on the grounds that it may be too complex/difficult for some users to understand
The IFRS framework states that going concern assumption is the basic underlying assumption
The five elements of financial statements
Asset: An asset is a resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events and from which future
economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.
Liability: A liability is a present obligation of the entity arising from past events, the settlement of which is
expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic benefits.
Equity: Equity is the residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all its liabilities.
Income: Income is increases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of inflows or
enhancements of assets or decreases of liabilities that result in increases in equity, other than those relating
to contributions from equity participants.
Expense: Expenses are decreases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of outflows
or depletions of assets or incurrences of liabilities that result in decreases in equity, other than those relating
to distributions to equity participants.
Recognition of the elements of financial statements
Recognition is the process of incorporating in the statement of financial position or statement of profit or loss an item
that satisfies the following criteria for recognition:
• The item that meets the definition of an element
• It is probable that any future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to or from the entity
and
• The item’s cost or value can be measured with reliability.
Application of recognition criteria
• An asset is recognised in the statement of financial position when it is probable that the future economic
benefits will flow to the entity and the asset has a cost or value that can be measured reliably.
• A liability is recognised in the statement of financial position when it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will result from the settlement of a present obligation and the amount at which
the settlement will take place can be measured reliably.
• Income is recognised in the income statement when an increase in future economic benefits related to an
increase in an asset or a decrease of a liability has arisen that can be measured reliably.
• Expenses are recognised when a decrease in future economic benefits related to a decrease in an asset or an
increase of a liability has arisen that can be measured reliably.
Measurements of elements in financial statements
The IFRS Framework acknowledges that a variety of measurement bases:
• Historical cost
• Current cost (Assets are carried at the amount of cash or cash equivalents that would have to be paid if the
same or an equivalent asset was acquired currently)
• Net realisable value (The amount of cash or cash equivalents that could currently be obtained by selling an
asset in an orderly disposal)
• Present value (A current estimate of the present discounted value of the future net cash flows in the normal
course of business)
• Fair value (As per IFRS 13)
HISTORICAL COST ACCOUNTING
The application of historical cost accounting means that assets are recorded at the amount they originally cost, and
liabilities are recorded at the proceeds received in exchange for the obligation.
Advantages
• Simple to understand
• Figures are objective, reliable and verifiable
• Results in comparable financial statements
• There is less possibility for manipulation by using 'creative accounting' in asset valuation.
Disadvantages
• The carrying value of assets is often substantially different to market value
• No account is taken of inflation meaning that profits are overstated and assets understated
• Financial capital is maintained but not physical capital
• Ratios like Return on capital employed are distorted
• It does not measure any gain/loss of inflation on monetary items arising from the impact
• Comparability of figures is not accurate as past figures are not restated for the effects of inflation
STANDARD SETTING PROCESS The due process for developing an IFRS comprises of six stages:
1. Setting the agenda
2. Planning the project
3. Development and publication of Discussion Paper
4. Development and publication of Exposure Draft
5. Development and publication of an IFRS Standard
6. Procedures after a Standard is issued

Responsible for governance of standard setting process. It oversees, funds, appoints and monitors the operational
effectiveness of:
Because IFRSs are based on The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, they are often regarded as being a

Preference shares
There are two types of preference share:
• Irredeemable preference shares exist, much like ordinary shares. The amount issued in form of
Irredeemable preference shares is not payable after a fixed period.
• Redeemable preference shares are issued for a fixed term. At the end of this term, the shareholder redeems
their shares and in return is repaid the amount they initially bought the shares for (normally plus a premium).
In the meantime they receive a fixed dividend.
LOAN NOTES
A company can raise finance either through the issue of shares or by borrowing money.
DIVIDENDS
Ordinary dividends = No. of shares x Per share dividend
Excluded Costs: These cost will never be capitalized and charged to P&L as expense.
Testing cost, insurance cost, repair & maintenance cost, relocation cost, initial operating losses, rectification cost of
errors, administration & general overheads.
Extended Credit Period: If an asset is purchased on extended credit period than the asset will be recorded at cash
equivalent value (market value) and any excess amount paid over the cash equivalent value will be recorded as interest
cost and it will be recognized at end of the period.
Subsequent Measurement
a) Cost Model
Property Plant & Equipment should be recorded at carrying value
Carrying Value = Cost – accumulated depreciation – Accumulated impairment loss (sudden decrease in value of asset)
Depreciation
Why Charge Depreciation: It is application of matching concept (to generate benefit the value of asset has decreased
due to its usage)
Definitions:
“Decrease in value of an asset due to its usage or wear & tear or obsolescence (outdated asset), or legal restriction.”
“Systematic allocation of depreciable Amount of an asset over its useful life.”
Depreciable Amount = cost – Residual Value Accumulated Depreciation= Total depreciation of all years
Residual Value is the estimated amount that an entity can obtain when disposing of an asset after itsuseful life has
ended. When doing this the estimated costs of disposing of the asset should be deducted
Depreciation Method:
Straight Line Basis: Depreciation = (cost – Residual value)/Useful Life
Reducing Balance Basis: Depreciation = (Carrying Value – Accumulated Depreciation) X % age
Machine Hours Basis: Depreciation = {(Cost – Residual Value) X Hours Used}/Total life in hours
Accounting Estimates and Change in Accounting Estimates
Depreciation method, Useful Life and Scrap Value are all accounting estimates. Accounting estimates are reviewed at
each reporting date and if there is a change in accounting estimate then the change will be applied on prospective basis
(current year and future years)
Straight Line to Reducing balance method Dep. = (Carrying value – acc. Dep after change in estimate) X %age
Reducing Balance Method to Straight Line Dep. = (Carrying Value – Residual Value)/Remaining useful life @
change
Change in Useful Life Dep. = (Carrying Value – Residual Value)/Revised Useful life
Change in Residual Value Dep. = (Carrying Value – Revised Residual Value)/Revised Useful life
b) Revaluation Model
PP&E should be recorded at Revalued Amount (Current Market value) less subsequent accumulated depreciation less
subsequent accumulated impairment loss
Once an asset is revalued the whole class of assets to which asset belongs must be revalued.
Accounting for Revaluation
Example: cost = 100,000 useful life = 20 years Acc dep (after 5 years) = 25,000 (5,000/annum) Revalued amount=
110,000
Step 1: Restate Asset from Cost to Revaluation (Revalued Amount – Cost) e.g 110,000 – 100,000 = 10,000
Step 2: Remove Existing Accumulated Depreciation
Combine Entry for step 1 and step 2: Dr Non-Current Asset 10,000
Dr Acc. Depreciation 25,000
Cr Revaluation Surplus 35,000
Step 3: Calculate Depreciation on Revalued Amount over remaining useful life e.g. (110,000 – 0)/15 = 7333
Dr Depreciation 7,333 Cr Accumulated Depreciation 7,333
Step 4: Transfer of Excessive Depreciation every year (Dep on Revalued amount – Dep. on original cost)
e.g. 7,333 – 5,000 = 2,333 Dr Revaluation Surplus 2,333 Cr Retained Earnings 2,333
This transfer does not get taken to other comprehensive income, it is done in the SOCIE only.
Revaluation Loss:
Example: cost = 100,000 useful life = 20 years Acc dep (after 5 years) = 25,000 (5,000/annum) Revalued amount=
60,000
Combine Entry: Dr Revaluation Loss 15,000
Dr Acc. Depreciation 25,000
Cr Non-Current Asset 40,000
Calculation of Revaluation gain or loss through carrying value:
If Revalued Amount > Carrying Value = Revaluation Surplus
If Revalued Amount < Carrying Value = Revaluation Loss
Asset Revalued has impairment loss in previous years:
Dr Non-Current Asset
Dr Acc. Depreciation
Cr P&L
Cr Revaluation Surplus
Note: Revaluation gains are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income either within the statement of
P&L and other comprehensive income or in a separate statement.
Disposal of PP&L
Disposal of Non-Revalued Asset
Calculate profit or loss on disposal: Profit/Loss = Sale Proceeds ― Carrying Value
Dr Cash XX
Dr Acc Depreciation XX
Cr PP&E (cost) XX

Disposal of Revalued Asset
Step 1: Calculate profit or loss on disposal: Profit/Loss = Sale Proceeds ― Carrying Value
Dr Cash XX
Dr Acc Depreciation XX
Cr PP&E (cost) XX
Cr P&L (Profit) XX
Step 2: The remaining revaluation surplus relating to this should be transferred to retained Earnings.
Dr Retained Earnings Cr Revaluation Surplus
Change in Use of Property Cost Model in IAS 40 Fair Value Model in IAS 40
IAS 2 IAS 40 No gain or loss will arise on Difference between carrying value under IAS 2 and its
the date of reclassification Fair Value under IAS 40 on date of reclassification will
be charged to P&L a/c.
IAS 16 IAS 40 No gain or loss will arise on Difference between carrying value under IAS 16 and
the date of reclassification its Fair Value under IAS 40 on date of reclassification
will be treated as Revaluation Surplus/Loss
De-recognition of Investment Property
a) Disposal of investment property: Profit/loss = Disposal Proceeds ― carrying value
b) De-recognize when no economic benefit are expected either from use of asset or from its sale
• If intangible asset has unlimited useful life then don’t amortise but apply impairment test annually.
• If intangible asset has limited useful life than amortise using appropriate method.

IAS 2 – Inventory
Inventories shall be measured at the lower of : (a) Cost (b) Net realizable value
Cost of Inventory
The cost of inventories shall comprise all of the costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing
the inventories to their present location and condition.
a) Costs of purchase comprise purchase price, import duties and other taxes and transport, handling and other costs
directly attributable to the acquisition of finished goods, materials and services, less trade discounts, rebates and
other similar items.
b) Costs of conversion include:
(i) Costs which are directly related to units of production, e.g. direct labour, direct expenses and sub-contracted
work
(ii) Systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads incurred in converting materials into finished
goods
The allocation of fixed production over heads to units of production is based on normal capacity (average over
a number of seasons under normal circumstances). In periods of abnormally high production fixed overhead
unit allocations are reduced to avoid valuing inventories above cost.
c) Other costs can be included in the cost of inventories to the extent incurred in bringing the inventories to their
present location and condition e.g. non-production overheads of designing a product for a specific customer.
Excluded Cost: Following costs are excluded and charged as expenses in the period in which they are incurred
• abnormal waste
• storage costs
• administrative overheads which do not contribute to bringing inventories to their present location and condition
• selling costs.
Net realisable value:
the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less:
a) Estimated costs of completion, and
b) Estimated costs necessary to make the sale (e.g. marketing, selling and distribution costs).
NRV is less than cost
The principal situations in which net realisable value is likely to be less than cost are where there has been:
(a) An increase in costs or a fall in selling price
(b) Physical deterioration of inventories
(c) Obsolescence of products
(d) A decision as part of a company’s marketing strategy to manufacture and sell products at a loss
(e) Errors in production or purchasing.
Interchangeable items
If various batches of inventories have been purchased at different times during the year and at different prices, it may
be impossible to determine precisely which items are still held at the year end and therefore what the actual purchase
cost of the goods was.
In such circumstances, the following estimation methods are allowed under IAS 2:
(a) FIFO (first in, first out): The calculation of the cost of inventories on the basis that the quantities in hand represent
the latest purchases or production. OR
(b) Weighted average cost: The calculation of the cost of inventories by using a weighted average price computed by
dividing the total cost of items by the total number of such items. The price is recalculated on a periodic basis or as each
additional shipment is received and items taken out of inventory are removed at the prevailing weighted average cost.
An entity must use the same cost formula for all inventories having a similar nature and use to the entity.
IAS 41 – Agriculture
The standard applies to the three elements that form part of, or result from, agricultural activity.
• Biological assets • Agricultural produce at the point of harvest • Government grants
The standard does not apply to agricultural land (IAS 16) or intangible assets related to agricultural activity
(IAS 38). After harvest, IAS 2 is applied.jm
Definitions:
• Agricultural activity is the management by an entity of the biological transformation of biological assets for sale,
into agricultural produce or into additional biological assets.
• Agricultural produce is the harvested product of an entity's biological assets.
• Biological assets are living animals or plants.
• Biological transformation compromises the processes of growth, degeneration, production and procreation that
cause changes in a biological asset.
• Harvest is the detachment of produce from a biological asset or the cessation of a biological asset's life processes.
• Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. (IFRS 13)
Recognition of biological Assets
a) The entity controls the asset as a result of past events.
b) It is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the entity.
c) The fair value or cost of the asset to the entity can be measured reliably.
Initial Measurement of biological assets
Initially Biological assets are measured at Fair value less any estimated 'point of sale' costs but If there is no fair value,
then use the cost model.
Subsequent Measurement of biological assets
Subsequently fair value should be measured at each year end and any gain or loss to statement of profit or loss.
Agricultural produce
• At the date of harvest the produce should be recognised and measured at fair value less estimated costs to sell.
• After produce has been harvested, IAS 41 ceases to apply. Agricultural produce becomes an item of inventory. Fair
value less costs to sell at the point of harvest is taken as cost for the purpose of IAS 2
Inventories, which is applied from then onwards.
Agricultural produce
• Unconditional government grants received in respect of biological assets measured at fair value are reported as
income when the grant becomes receivable.
• If such a grant is conditional (including where the grant requires an entity not to engage in certain agricultural a
ctivity), the entity recognises it as income only when the conditions have been met.
IAS 20 does not apply to a government grant on biological assets measured at fair value less estimated point-of-sale
costs. However if a biological asset is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses then IAS 20 does apply.
IFRS 16 - LEASES
Lease: 'A lease is a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a
period of time in exchange for consideration.'
Lessor: Lessor is the 'entity that provides the right to use an underlying asset in exchange for consideration.'
Lessee: Lessee is the 'entity that obtains the right to use an underlying asset in exchange for consideration.'
Right-of-use asset: A right-of-use asset 'represents the lessee's rights to use an underlying asset for the lease term.'
Inception Date: It is the date when lessor and lessee both agree on regarding the material terms and conditions of lease
contract.
Commencement Date: It is the date when lessee starts the use of asset and both lessor and lessee start lease accounting
in their respective books.
Lease term: It is the period of lease contract
a) Non-Cancelable Part: It is the primary period of lease contract for which lease is non-cancellable.
b) Secondary Part: It is secondary part of lease which is allowed by lessor and will become the part of lease term, if
on the date of inception it is reasonably certain that lessee will avail the option.
c) Periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if these are reasonably certain not to be exercised.
Recognition exemptions for Short-life and low value assets
Lease payments will be recorded as an expense in the following two types of leases:
i) Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and containing no purchase options – or
ii) Leases where the underlying asset has a low value when new (such as tablets, telephone, personal
computers or small items of office furniture)
Initial Measurement of Lessee
At the commencement of the lease, the lessee should recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset.
The right-of-use asset
The right-of-use asset is initially recognised at cost.
The initial cost of the right-of-use asset comprises:
• The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability
• Lease payments made at or before the commencement date
• Any initial direct costs
• The estimated costs of removing or dismantling the underlying asset as per the conditions of the lease.
Lease Liability:
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that have not yet been paid.
Lease payments should include the following:
• Fixed payments
• Amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees (guaranteed value at the end of lease term)
• Options to purchase the asset that are reasonably certain to be exercised
• Termination penalties, if the lease term reflects the expectation that these will be incurred
Present Value is calculated at the discount rate mentioned in the lease. If this cannot be determined, then the entity
should use its incremental borrowing rate (the rate at which it could borrow funds to purchase a similar asset).
Subsequent Measurement
The right-of-use asset
Charge depreciation over shorter of the useful life and lease terms.
Lease Liability:
Non-Current Liability: balance outstanding immediately after the payment of next year.
Current Liability = Total Liability at current year end less non-current liability.
Payment in Arrears:
P.V of Lease Payments = 5,710 interest rate = 15% annual installment in arrears = 2,000
Year Liability b/d interest expense@ 15% payment liability c/d
2002 5,710 857 (2,000) 4,567
2003 4,567 685 (2,000) 3,251
Financial Instrumets
Accounting Standards:
IAS 32 Financial instruments: deals with the classification of financial instruments and their
Presentation presentation in financial statements
IFRS 7 Financial instruments: deals with how financial instruments are measured and when they
disclosures should be recognised in financial statements
IFRS 9 Financial instruments deals with the disclosure of financial instruments in financial statements
One party legally owns and 2nd party physically retain inventory.
Consider majority of points of control
Party which has maximum points will record inventory
Repurchase Agreement
• Asset sold but still has the right to re-purchase in future.
• Entity will not record it as a sale & continue to record as asset (because Sale at below FV or repurchase below FV,
entity still has risk & reward & right to use asset)
• Example: asset sold for 10m and has option to repurchase for 12m after 4 years.
Sol: Dr Cash 10m Cr Loan 10m interest expense 2m (12m – 10m) over 4 years.
Bill & Hold Agreement
• Entity provide bill for product to customer and promise to deliver the product in future (stull hold after bill but
can’t use or sell to other party)
− Customer must request for it − Product belong to customer
− Ready to transfer physically − Entity can’t use or sell to 3rd party.
• There may be a fee for custodial service and sale will be recorded inclusive of custodial charges @ billing date.
Satisfy Performance Objective over time
• Control of goods & services satisfy over time.
• Recognise revenue over time if:
− Customer receive and entity provide benefit at the same time
− Entity creates and customer controls asset at same time or
− Didn’t create asset but right to receive payment for completion to date.
• Entity recognises revenue over time by measuring %age completion of that performance obligation.
% age completion can be measure by two methods:
− Output based:
− Input based (cost to date out of total cost)
Contract Cost
Capitalised Cost:
Incremental cost to obtain contract + cost of fulfilling contract (if not fall in any other standards)
The capitalised costs will be amortised as revenue is recognised. This means that they will be expensed to cost of sales
as the contract progresses.
IAS 12 – Taxation
Accounting profit [SPL]: The profit or loss for a period before deducting tax expense.
Taxable profit [TAX COMPUTATION]: The profit or loss for a period determined in accordance with the rules
established by the taxation authorities, upon which income taxes are payable.
Tax allowances: The tax equivalent of an accounting item (e.g. ‘Capital Allowances’ instead of Depreciation)
Current Tax
“The amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for a period”
At every year end company estimates the amount of income tax which is charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss
and shown as a current liability in the Statement of Financial Position.
DR income tax expense (SPL)
CR income tax liability (SFP)
Often this estimate is not the exact amount that is actually paid resulting in an over provision (estimates tax is
more than actual tax) or under provision (estimated tax is less than actual tax) for income taxes.
This balance will then be incorporated into the current year’s tax charge.
Income tax expense:
Current tax charge for the year X
Under/(over) provision from previous year X / (x)
Total tax charge for the year X .

Revalued assets
Under IAS 16 assets may be revalued. This changes the carrying amount of the asset but the tax base of the asset is not
adjusted. Consequently, the taxable flow of economic benefits to the entity as the carrying value of the asset is recovered
will differ from the amount that will be deductible for tax purposes.
The difference between the carrying amount of a revalued asset and its tax base is a temporary difference and gives rise
to a deferred tax liability or asset.
Deferred Tax Asset & Deductible temporary difference
A deductible temporary difference arises when tax base of an asset exceeds it carrying value.
Deferred tax asset (same as deferred tax liability) will be recognized for all deductible temporary differences if
probable that taxable profits will be available in future. No discounting is permitted.
Examples of Provisions
Warranties:
These are argued to be genuine provisions as on past experience it is probable. The provision must be estimated, on the
basis of the class as a whole and not on individual claims.
Major repairs
Now it is not allowed to recognize provision for repair.
Self -insurance
Now it is not allowed to recognize provision for self-insurance.
Environmental contamination .
If the company has an environmental policy such that other parties would expect the company to clean up any
contamination or if the company has broken current environmental legislation then a provision for environmental
damage must be made.
Decommissioning or abandonment costs.
When an oil company initially purchases an oilfield it is put under a legal obligation to decommission the site at the end
of its life. Prior to IAS 37 most oil companies set up the provision gradually over the life of the field so that no one year
would be unduly burdened with the cost.
All the costs of decommissioning may be capitalised.
Dr Asset Cr Provision
Onerous contracts
Onerous contract as one in which unavoidable costs of completing the contract exceed the benefits expected to be
received under it.
Unavoidable costs of meeting an obligation are the lower of:
a) Cost of fulfilling the contract b) Penalties from failure to fulfil the contract
If an entity has a contract that is onerous a provision should be made for the net loss.
Re-structuring/ Re-organisation:
It is a plan or program by which management changes the scope or manner of the business.
Examples include Termination of line of employees/delayering, Sale or closure of a business segment, Shift from
manufacturing to trading.
Accounting treatment:
IAS 37 requires a provision should be recognize for restructuring cost if the following two conditions are satisfied:
a) Management have a formal plan b) It is publically announced
if the above conditions are met after the reporting date, It will be treated as non-adjusting event under IAS-10 and no
provision will be recognize.
Note: The provision should be recognized only for the direct cost of restructuring (redundancy cost,
termination payments, damages to supplier and customer)
Contingent Asset
It is possible asset arising from past events the existence of which depends upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of
some uncertain future events not in the control of entity.
Recognise only if it is virtually certain to be received (chances >95%)
• Evidence of impairment of assets, such as news that a major customer is going into liquidation or the
sale of inventories below cost
• Discovery of fraud or errors showing that financial statements were incorrect
• Determination of employee bonuses/profit shares
• The tax rates applicable to the financial year are announced
• The auditors submit their fee
• The sale of a non-current asset at a loss indicates that it was impaired at the reporting date
• The bankruptcy of a customer indicates that their debt was irrecoverable at the reporting date
• The sale of inventory at less than cost indicates that it should have been valued at NRV in the accounts
• The determination of cost or proceeds of assets bought/sold during the accounting period indicates at
what amount they should be recorded in the accounts
Non-Adjusting Events
Those events which occur after the reporting date but before date of authorization of F/S and are indicative of the
conditions which arise after reporting date.
Accounting treatment: Disclose if material and ignore if immaterial.
Examples:
• Business combinations
• Discontinuance of an operation
• Major sale/purchase of assets
• Destruction of major assets in natural disasters
• Major restructuring
• Major share transactions
• Unusual changes in asset prices/foreign exchange rates
• Commencing major litigation
• A purchase or sale of a non-current asset
• The destruction of assets due to fire or flood
• The announcement of plans to discontinue an operation An issue of shares
Consolidation Procedure
Single Economic entity concept: 100% addition of Assets (except investment in Sub co by Parent co), Liabilities,
incomes and expenses of parent and subsidiary company.
a) Determine Group Structure
b) Line by line addition of Assets (except investment in Sub co by Parent co), Liabilities, incomes and expenses of
parent and subsidiary company. Share capital (ordinary shares and preference shares) of only Parent company will
be recorded.
c) Eliminate Investment in Sub Co held be Parent co. and record NCI.
Dr Cost of Control a/c XX
Cr Investment in Sub. Co. XX
Cr NCI at Fair Value XX
d) Calculate Net Assets of Sub. Co. at acquisition date {Share Capital (both ordinary & preference shares + Share
Premium + Retained earnings + Revaluation Reserve)
Eliminate “Net Asset of Sub co at Acquisition date” and this will be used to calculate Goodwill.
Dr Net Assets of Subsidiary at Acquisition date XX Cr Cost of Control a/c XX
e) The reserves of sub co which arise after Date of Acquisition are called Post Acquisition reserves, these are simply
taken as income as:
Dr Subsidiary Retained Earnings (Post Acquisition) XX
Cr Consolidated Retained Earnings (Parent %) XX
Cr NCI (NCI %) XX
f) Valuation of Goodwill and Non-Controlling Interest
Measure the NCI at Fair Value
Under this method NCI will be measured at Fair value (market value) and fair value of NCI will be used to calculate
goodwill.
Dr Cost of Control a/c XX Dr Net Assets of Subsidiary at Acquisition date XX
Cr Investment in Sub. Co. XX Cr Cost of Control a/c XX
Cr NCI at Fair Value XX
Adjustments
Impairment of Goodwill
NCI Measured at Fair Value:
Dr CRE Post Acq (Consolidated retained earnings: Parent % holding) XX
Dr NCI (Minority % holding) XX
Cr Goodwill (Cost of control a/c) XX
NCI Measured at Proportionate Share of Net Assets:

If asset does not exist upon Reporting Date: Simply ignore
Un-recognized intangible assets of Subsidiary co. at Acquisition date
If there is intangible asset related to subsidiary co. at the date of acquisition having fair value measureable, it will be
recorded as: Dr Intangible Asset a/c (F.V) a/c Cr SRE (Pre-Acq) a/c
For amortization: Dr SRE (Post Acquisition) a/c Cr Intangible asset a/c
Mid Year Acquisition:
Net Assets at Acquisition date = Net Assets at the start of Year of acquisition + Net Assets after start of year but before
date of acquisition.
Remaining implications are same as above.

DISPOSAL OF INVESTMENT
Subsidiaries are consolidated until the date control is lost therefore profits need to be time-apportioned.
• Disposal occurs when control is lost over subsidiary. F7 syllabus includes only full disposal i.e.
all the holding is sold (say, 70% to nil)
• The effective date of disposal is when control is lost
• Following is the accounting treatment for full disposal
In case of Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidate
results and non-controlling interests to the date of disposal.
Show the group profit or loss on disposal
In case of Statement of financial position, there will be no non-controlling interests
and no consolidation as there is no subsidiary at the date the statement of financial position is
being prepared.

CHAPTER
IAS – 7 Statement of Cash Flow
Objective
The objective of IAS 7 - Cash-flow Statements is to ensure that enterprises provide information about the
historical changes in cash and cash equivalents by means of a cash flow statement which classifies cash
flows during the period according to operating, investing and financing activities for a period.
Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of
cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. (Investments with a maturity of three
months or less from the date of acquisition)
Cash flows from operating activities can be calculated in two ways, using the direct method or the indirect
method.
Direct method
The direct method shows operating cash receipts and payments directly. This is useful as it shows the
actual sources, and uses of cash flows by nature. The problem is that most businesses do not keep records
in this way and so it can be time consuming to gather the information. The information if available would
be presented as follows:
$
Indirect Method
This method starts with profit before tax and adjusts for non-cash items to arrive at cash flows from
operations. Non operating items such as interest paid, tax paid are deducted to arrive at net cash flows
from operating activities. This method allows users to assess the quality of earnings as a comparison of
profit and cash flows can easily be made. Additionally, this method is popular with preparers, as it does not
give away such sensitive information as the direct method.
Investing Activities
Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of long term assets, and other investment that are not
considered to be cash equivalents but have been made to generate future income and cash flows.
Financing Activities
Financing activities are activities that alter the equity capital and borrowing structure (gearing) of the
entity and will comprise receipts and payments of capital/principal from or to external providers of
finance.

Dividends received X
Interest received X
