goods or render services

Cost: Purchase price plus directly attributable costs
NRV: Sale price less cost to sell or cost to improve
Policy: AVCO or FIFO (should be followed every year)

IAS 8-CHANGES IN:-


Change in estimate: Like (provision, depreciation, residual value, depreciation rate) is dealt
prospectively
Change in accounting policy: (AVCO/FIFO, REVALUATION/COST/ FAIR VALUE MODELS) is dealt
retrospectively, change is allowed only if better presentation or required by law.
Errors: First see if material, if change is necessary then it is dealt retrospectively.

IAS 10-SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


Scope: Events after reporting period
Adjusting events: Events for which conditions existed at balance sheet date eg.

• Subsequent bankruptcy of debtors


• Sale of inventory below cost after year end
• Settlement of sale price of assets/inventory which is sold before year end
• Change in going concern basis
• Return of defected inventory
Non-adjusting events: Events for which conditions are not existed at balance sheet date eg

• Sale of assets or business after balance sheet date

IAS 12-INCOME TAX
Tax expense: Current tax + deferred tax
Current tax: (Taxable income*tax rate) - (tax allowable expenses*tax rate) + (Deductions not
allowed*tax rate)
Deferred tax: Accounting measure to match the tax effect of transactions with the accounting
impact to produce less distorted results
Temporary difference: It is difference between carrying amount of an asset/liability as per
statement of financial position and its tax base.
Taxable temporary difference: A temporary difference that will yield amounts that are taxable
in future when determining taxable profit or loss. (CA of Asset>TB of asset) or (CA of liability
<TB of liability)
Deductible temporary difference: A temporary difference that will yield amounts that are
deductible in future when determining taxable profit or loss (CA of asset < TB of asset) or (CA of
liability> TB of liability)
Deferred tax liability: The amounts of income tax payable in future periods in respect of
taxable temporary difference.
Deferred tax asset: The amount of income tax deductible in future periods in respect of
deductible temporary difference or unused tax losses or tax credits.

IAS 16-PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT


Recognition criteria: It is recognized only if :-

• Cost can be measured reliably


• Probable that future economic benefits will flow to entity
Cost: Cost includes

• Purchase price
• Directly attributable cost
• PV of dismantling cost
Subsequent Measurement: Two Models

• Cost Model
• Revaluation Model

Page | 3
Cost Model: Cost less accumulated depreciation less accumulated impairment loss
Revaluation Model: Revalued amount less subsequent accumulated depreciation less
subsequent impairment loss
In case of revaluation model whole class of asset should be revalued

IAS 20-GOVERNMENT GRANTS


Scope: Assistance by government in form of transfer of resources specifically to entity.
Recognition criteria: Record only if

• It is probable that entity will comply with the conditions


• Grant will be received
Conditional grants: We record income as and when conditions are fulfilled
Unconditional grants: We record income immediately

IAS 23-BORROWING COSTS


Scope: Interest on loan taken to construct or acquire a qualifying asset
Qualifying assets: The asset which takes substantial period of time (3 months) to be completed
Borrowing costs: Interest and other costs incurred by entity in order to borrow funds
Abnormal Delay: In case of abnormal delay capitalization of interest expense is suspended
General borrowing: It is overall loan of entity from which some loan is used for construction of
asset.
Specific borrowing: It is the loan specifically borrowed for construction of asset
Borrowing cost= interest expense less interest income of surplus funds

IAS 36-IMPAIRMENT
Impairment loss: It is recorded when carrying amount of asset exceeds its recoverable amount
Recoverable amount: It is higher of

• Fair value less cost to sell


• Value in use

Page | 4
Value in use: Value in use is net present value of future cashflows including cashflows from
disposal of asset discounted by market rate
External Indicators:

• Market value declines


• Negative changes in technology
• Increase in market interest rate
Internal Indicators:

• Physical damage
• Asset is idle, part of restructuring or held for disposal
• Worse economic performance than expected

IAS 40-INVESTMENT PROPERTY


Scope: Deals with land or building held for rental purpose or capital appreciation
Initial measurement: Cost
Subsequent measurement: Cost model or fair value model
Cost Model: Cost less accumulated depreciation less accumulated impairment loss
Fair value model: Fair value

IFRS 15-REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS


5 STEPS MODEL:
1. Identify contract with customer
2. Identify separate performance obligation in the contract
3. Determine transaction price
4. Allocate the transaction price between performance obligations
5. Recognize revenue as and when performance obligations are satisfied
Methods of revenue recognition:
1. Point in time
2. Point over time
Point over time:
Entity recognize revenue over time if anyone of the criteria is met
1. The customer receives and consumes all the benefits provided by the entity as the
entity performs
2. The entity’s performance creates or enhances the asset that the customer controls as
the asset is created
3. The entity’s performance creates an asset with no alternative use to the entity and
entity has enforceable right to payment for performance completed till date.
Point in time:
If entity does not satisfy its performance obligation over time, it satisfies it at a point in time.

IFRS 16-LEASES
Lease: 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.
Finance lease: It transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an
underlying asset to lessee.
Operating lease: It does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of an underlying asset to lessee.
Indicators of finance lease:
a) the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease
term;
b) the lessee has the option to purchase the underlying asset at a price that is expected to be
sufficiently lower than the fair value at the date the option becomes exercisable for it to be
reasonably certain, at the inception date, that the option will be exercised;
c) the lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying asset even if title is
not transferred; (major means say 75% of economic life).
d) at the inception date, the present value of the lease payments amounts to at least
substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; and (Substantially means 90% or more)
e) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that only the lessee can use it without
major modifications.
If answer of any of the above points is “yes”, lease will be a Finance lease
ROUA
The cost of the right-of-use asset shall comprise:
(a) the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability,
(b) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives
received;
(c) any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
(d) an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the
underlying asset and restoring the site on which it is located.
Lease liability:
At the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the lease liability at the present value of
the lease payments that are not paid at that date.
