Example:1 A company is required to pay 100,000 at the end of five years and suppose interest rate is 10%.
Calculate PV.

Important point to remember
In order to simplify the above calculation of PV, we can use formula of annuity if there are more than one
instalments. However, this formula can only be used if amounts are same and time interval between
amounts is constant.

Treatment of Lease in the Books of Lessee:
At the commencement date*, a lessee shall recognise a right to use asset and a lease liability.
*Commencement date; means the date, lessor makes the asset available for use to the lessee.
Initial Measurement:
The entry shall initially be made at the present value of lease payments*.
Lease Payments: means all relevant payments payable by lessee under the lease contract.

Subsequent Measurement of Right to use Asset:


After the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the right to use asset applying the cost model or
revaluation model. If revaluation model is applied then lessee shall apply the revaluation model to all of the
right to use assets that relate to that class of property, plant & equipment. However, generally cost model is
used.

Cost Model: [Para 30]


If asset is measured at cost model, then lessee shall measure the right to use the asset at cost less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation Policy: [Para 32]
If the lease transfers ownership of the asset to lessee by the end of the lease term or if it is reasonably certain
that lessee will exercise the purchase option available in the lease contract, lessee shall depreciate the asset
over useful life. If this is not the case, the lessee shall depreciate the asset over the shorter of lease term and
useful life e.g. let’s consider the following examples by assuming no transfer of ownership or purchase option
in lease contract.
Lease A Lease B
Commencement date 1-1-2015 1-1-2015
Useful life 31-12-2020 (6 Years) 31-12-2025 (11 Years)
Lease term 31-12-2025 (11 Years) 31-12-2020 (6 Years)
Depreciate over 6 years 6 years
Presentation: [Para 47]
A lessee shall present in statement of Financial Position [Para 47]:
(a) Right to use assets separately from other assets in non-current assets.
(b) Lease liabilities separately from other liabilities by segregating the amounts into current and non-current
liabilities.
In the statement of profit or loss, a lessee shall present interest expense on lease liability and depreciation
charge for the right to use asset. Interest expense is a component of financial charges in statement of profit or
loss. [Para 49]
In statement of cash flows; a lessee shall classify:
(a) Payment of principal portion of lease liability from lease rental in financing activities;
(b) Payment of interest portion from lease rental in either operating or financing activities; preferably in
operating activities [Para 50]
Disclosures

3
 A schedule of right to use asset as like in IAS-16 [Para 53]
 If the lessee measures the right to use asset at revalued amounts as per IAS-16, the lessee shall disclose
the revaluation related disclosures for that right to use asset (as discussed in IAS 16) [Para 57]
 A lessee shall disclose the maturity analysis of lease liability for the remaining contractual future lease
payments (without discounting) of each of the first five years plus a total amount for the remaining
years.

Foreign Currency Transactions IAS 21
Many businesses have transactions that are denominated in a foreign currency.
Individual companies often enter into transactions in a foreign currency. These transactions need to be
translated into the company’s own currency in order to record them in its ledger accounts. For example:
a Pakistani company may take out a loan from a French bank in Euros but will record the loan in
its ledger accounts in Rupees; or
a Pakistani company may sell goods to a Japanese company invoiced in Yen but will record
thesale and the trade receivable in Rupees in its ledger accounts.
IAS 21 deals with the translation of these transactions when they occur and at subsequent reporting
dates when re-translation at a different exchange rate may be necessary.
The two main accounting issues
Transactions, receivables and payables in foreign currencies are translated or converted from the foreign
currency into the currency of the reporting entity. The process of translation would be quite simple if
exchange rates between currencies remained fixed. However, exchange rates are changing continuously.
The two main accounting issues when accounting for foreign currency items are:

What exchange rate(s) should be used for translation?

How to account for the gains or losses that arise when exchange rates change?
Terms and definitions used in IAS 21
IAS 21 uses the following terms to describe which exchange rate should be used in the translation.
Definitions
Exchange rate: The rate of exchange between two currencies
Example: quoted exchange rates
You are quoted an exchange rate on 1 March 2011 of £1: $2.
Required:
A. If you had £1 000 to exchange, how many $ would you receive (i.e. buy) from the currency dealer?
B. If you had $1 000 to exchange, how many £ would you receive (i.e. buy) from the currency dealer?
C. Restate the exchange rate in the format £ …: $1.

Solution to example: quoted exchange rates

A: £1 000 / 1 x 2 = $2 000
B: $1 000 / 2 x 1 = £500
C: £1 / 2 = £0.5 therefore, the exchange rate would be £0.5: $1
Spot rate: The exchange rate at the date of the transaction
Closing rate: The spot exchange rate at the end of the reporting period
For example, suppose that on 16 November a Pakistani company buys goods from a US supplier, and the goods
are priced in US dollars. The financial year of the Pakistani company ends on 31 December, and at this date the
goods have not yet been paid for.
The spot rate is the rupees/dollar exchange rate on 16 November, when the transaction occurred.
The closing rate is the exchange rate at 31 December.
Exchange difference: A difference resulting from translating a given number of units of one
currency into another currency at different exchange rates.
Example:
On 31 January an entity has a foreign debtor of US$2 000, to be received on 15 April.
The local currency is denominated as rupees and the foreign currency is denominated as US$.
The exchange rates of US$: Rs are as follows:
Required: 31 January: $1:Rs4
A. Calculate the value $1:Rs7
28 February: of the foreign debtor in local currency at the end of the months January,
31 March: $1:Rs6

16
February and March.
B. Calculate the exchange differences arising during February and March and in total.
C. Show how the debtor and exchange differences would be journalised in the entity’s books on 31
January, 28 February and 31 March. Assume the debtor was created on 31 January through a sale of
goods. Ignore the journal required for the cost of the sale.
D. Solution to example:
A.
On 31 January the foreign debtor would be worth US$2 000 x Rs4 = Rs8 000.
On 28 February the foreign debtor would be worth US$2 000 x Rs7 = Rs14
000. On 31 March the foreign debtor would be worth US$2 000 x Rs6 = Rs12
000.
B.
Between 31 January and 28 February, an exchange difference (gain) of Rs6 000 arises: [14,000-8,000].
Between 28 February and 31 March, an exchange difference (loss) of Rs2 000 arises: [12,000-14,000].
In total, between 31 January and 31 March, a net exchange difference (net gain) of Rs4,000 arises:
[12,000-8,000].
C.

Foreign exchange loss 2 000

NOTE: Notice how the amount of sales income recognized is unaffected by changes in the exchange
rates. Sale would be recorded at exchange rate on the date of transaction.
Monetary items: Units of currency held and assets and liabilities to be received or paid (in cash), in a fixed
number of currency units. Examples of monetary items include cash itself, loans, trade payables, trade
receivables and interest payable etc. [in other words monetary items include receivables and payables]
Non-monetary items: they are items that are not monetary items. They include non-current assets,
investment properties and inventories etc.
Types of transactions:
The rules of IAS 21 apply when an entity:

buys or sells goods or services that will be paid for in a foreign currency;

borrows or lends money when the interest payments and repayments of principal are in a foreign
currency;

purchases or disposes of non-current assets in another currency; or

receives or pays dividends in another currency

17
Dates
Dates involved with foreign currency transactions are very important because exchange rates differ from
day-to-day. The following dates are significant when recording the foreign currency transaction:
 transaction date – this is when a loan is raised (obtained)/made (given) or an item is purchased or
sold;
 settlement date – this is when cash changes hands in settlement of the transaction (e.g. the
creditor is paid or payment is received from the debtor); and
 translation date – this is the financial year-end of the local entity.
Initial measurement:
The foreign currency transaction is measured by applying to the foreign currency amount the spot rate
between the foreign currency and the functional (means local) currency.
If the company purchases goods on many different dates during the period in the foreign currency, it might
be administratively difficult to record every transaction at the actual spot rate. For practical reasons, IAS 21
therefore allows entities to use an average rate for a time period (means average rate of the past week or
month), provided that the exchange rate does not fluctuate significantly over the period.
For example, an entity might use an average exchange rate for a week or a month for translating all the
foreign currency-denominated transactions in that time period.
Subsequent measurement: monetary items
Overview
As an exchange rate changes (and most exchange rates fluctuate on a daily basis), the measurement of
amounts owing to or receivable from a foreign entity changes. For example, an exchange rate of US$1:
Rs.140 in January can change to an exchange rate of US$1: Rs.145 in February and strengthen back to
US$1: Rs.142 in March. Due to this, a foreign debtor or creditor will owe different amounts depending on
which date the balance is measured.

Monetary items (amounts payable or receivable) are translated to the latest exchange rates:
 on each subsequent reporting date; and
 on settlement date.

Exchange differences
The translation of monetary items will almost always result in exchange differences: gains or losses (unless
there is no change in the exchange rate since transaction date).

Treatment:
The exchange differences on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they
arise.
Detailed discussion of Import and export transactions
Transaction and settlement on the same day (cash transaction)
If the date on which the transaction is recorded (transaction date) is the same date on which cash changes
hands in settlement of the transaction (settlement date), then there would obviously be no exchange
differences to account for.

Settlement deferred (credit transactions)


Exchange differences arise when the settlement date is after transaction date. The initial transaction (e.g.
asset acquired, expense incurred or sale earned) is recorded at the spot rate on the transaction date. Any
movement in the exchange rate after transaction date relating to the amount outstanding (payable or
receivable) is recorded as a foreign exchange gain (income) or foreign exchange loss (expense).
Settlement of a credit transaction before year-end
When the settlement of a credit transaction occurs before year-end:
 record the initial transaction at spot rate on transaction date;
 convert the outstanding balance (owing or receivable) to the spot rate on settlement date; and
 record the payment (made or received).
Settlement of a credit transaction after year-end
When the settlement of a credit transaction occurs after year-end:

18
 record the initial transaction at spot rate on transaction date;
 translate the outstanding balances (owing or receivable) to the spot rate on translation date
(year-end);
 convert the outstanding balances (owing or receivable) to the spot rate on settlement date;
 record the payment (made or received).
Foreign loans
Another type of possible transactions is the granting of loans to foreign entities or the receipt of a loan froma
foreign lender.
Treatment of interest
Interest income (on loans given) or interest expense (on loans received) must be calculated based on the
outstanding foreign currency amount and then translated into the local currency at the average rate over the
period that the interest was incurred or earned.
Approach:
The easiest way to do this correctly is:
1. calculate the loan amortization table in the foreign currency;
2. journalize the payment at the spot rate;
3. journalize the interest income or expenses at the average rate; and
4. calculate the difference between the carrying amount of the loan and the value of the balance
owing at spot rate at year end (means closing rate) and recognize the exchange differences.
Example: foreign loans
BS Limited, a Pakistani company, obtained a five-year long term loan from Gill Bates, living in the
CaymanIslands. The terms of the loan were as follows:
Gill transfers EUR100 000 into BS’s bank account on 1 January 2014.
The interest rate on the loan was 7. 931% p.a.
BS is required to make repayments of EUR25 000 inclusive of principal and interest annually, with the
first payment falling due on 31 December 2014.

BS Limited has the Rupees as its functional currency. The


currency used in the Cayman Islands is the EUR (Euro). BS Limited has a
31 December financial year-end.
Relevant exchange rates are:
Date Spot rates Average rates
1 January 2014 EUR1: Rs8
31 December 2014 EUR1: Rs8.5
31 December 2015 EUR1: Rs7.5

Example:
A Pakistani company whose functional currency is the rupee deposited $90,000 into a dollar current account
in a bank on 30 June 2018. The company paid an additional $10,000 into the account on 30 September 2018.
There were no other movements on this account.
Exchange rates over the period were as follows:
30 June: Rs.100/$.
30 September Rs.99/$.
31 December (year-end): Rs.95/$.
Required: Calculate the exchange differences on 31 December 2018.
Solution:
The exchange difference arising at 31 December can be calculated as follows:
The following approach simply records all items at the appropriate rates and identifies the exchange
difference as a balancing figure.

Example:
A Pakistani company whose functional currency is the rupee borrowed $90,000 on 30 June 2018. The
company recognised an interest accrual of $10,000 at its year-end (31 December 2018).

20
Exchange rates over the period were as follows:
30 June: Rs.100/$.
Average for the period from 30th June to 31st Dec 2018 is
Rs.99/$. 31 December (year-end): Rs.95/$.
Required:
Calculate the total loan payable inclusive of interest as on 31 December 2018.
Exchange difference (interest at average rate)
$ Rate Rs.
Amount borrowed on (30 June) 90,000 100 9,000,000

Exchange gain(bal) (490,000)
Balance at end (31 Dec.) 100,000 95 9,500,000
There is an exchange gain because the company has a dollar liability but the dollar has weakened
against the rupee over the period.
Practice question

Monetary items 1. Debtor and other receivables (cash is receivable)
(receivable/payable) 2. creditor (cash payable)
3. accruals (payables in cash such as rent payable)

3. intangible assets
4. investment in shares
5. biological assets (IAS-41)
6. right of use of asset

13. equity items appearing in balance sheet (share capital and reserve)
NON-MONETRY ITEMS
1. On initial recognition Recorded at the spot rate on the date of the transaction
2. At the end of a financial No retranslation is required. The transaction is left at the original spot rate
year Note: if a non-monetary is carried at fair value than re-translate at the
exchange rate prevailing at the date when fair value is determined. The
exchange difference is recognized in the same location as the revaluation
gain or loss. The revaluation gains (where there is no previous loss) under
IAS -16 And IAS-38 is recorded in other comprehensive income therefore
exchange difference is also recorded in the other comprehensive income.
The fair value gain under IAS-40 is recorded in profit and loss therefore
exchange difference is also recorded in profit and loss.
MONETARY ITEMS
1. On Initial Recognition - a transaction must be translated at the spot rate on the date of the
transaction.
NOTE: if transaction is settled before year end, this retranslation is not
required.
2. At year end of a financial - The monetary items must be retranslated at the rate ruling at balance
year sheet date.
- The exchange difference is recognized in the statement of profit or loss
NOTE: if transaction is settled before year end, this retranslation will not be
required.

22
3. When the transaction is -
The receipt or payment must be recorded at the rate ruling at the date of
settled the receipt and payment.
- The exchange difference is recognized in the settlement of profit or loss.
NOTE: Interest incomes and expenses are recorded on average rate over the period.
Summary of the rules for monetary and non-monetary items:
Asset or liability Accounting treatment Treatment of exchange difference

Monetary items Re-translate at the closing Recognised in P&L


rate.

Non-monetary items No re-translation. The Not applicable


carried at cost model transaction is left at the
original spot rate.
Non-monetary items Re-translate at the exchange recognise in the same
carried at fair value rate ruling at the date of the location as gain/loss
fair value adjustment.
Subsequent measurement: non-monetary items
Non-monetary items include assets such as:
property, plant and equipment;
intangible assets; and
inventories.
They could have been purchased using foreign currency, in which case they are converted into the local
currency at the spot rate, and are thereafter denominated in the local currency (also called the functional
currency)
The subsequent measurement of non-monetary items occurs simply in terms of the relevant IFRS.
These items are not affected by subsequent changes in exchange rates if carried at cost model. For
example, if an item of plant is purchased where the purchase was denominated in a foreign currency, this is
converted into the local currency and the plant is then measured in terms of IAS 16 Property, plant and
equipment.
e.g. plant purchased 100,000 Riyals on 01.01.2018, when exchange rate was Rs. 30 / 1 Riyal to be paid after
30 days.
01.01.2018
Debit Credit
Plant 3,000,000
Payable (100,000 x 30) 3,000,000
After that plant will be measured according to requirements of IAS 16 and 3,000,000 will be treated as cost.
Impairment loss: if carrying amount is more than recoverable amount, difference is called as impairment loss.
Recoverable amount is higher of:
Fair value less cost to sell
Value in use.
Example: non-monetary item: measurement of plant bought from a foreign supplier (At Cost
Model) On 1 January 2011, a Pakistani company bought plant from an American company for $100
000. The Pakistani company settled the debt on 31 March 2011.
Spot rates
Date (Rupees:
Dollar)
1 January 2011 Rs6.0: $1
31 March 2011 Rs6.3: $1
31 December 2011 Rs6.5: $1
31 December 2012 Rs6.2: $1
The plant is depreciated to a nil residual value over 5 years using the straight-line method.
The recoverable amount was calculated on 31 December 2012: Rs320 000.

23
Required:
Show all journal entries relating to plant for the years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 in the books of
the Pakistani company.
Solution to example: non-monetary item: journals
1 January 2011 Debit Credit
Plant: cost $100 000 x Rs6 600,000
Foreign creditor 600,000
Purchased plant from a foreign supplier (translated at spot rate)

31 March 2011
$100,000 x Rs6.30 – R600,000
Foreign exchange loss 30,000

Foreign creditor 600,000


Bank ($100 000 x Rs6.30) 630,000
Payment of foreign creditor

31 December 2011
Depreciation (600 000 – 0) / 5 years 120,000
Plant: accumulated depreciation 120,000
Depreciation of plant

31 December 2012
Depreciation (600 000 – 0) / 5 years 120,000
Plant: accumulated depreciation 120,000
Depreciation of plant
CA: 600 000 –120 000 –120
Impairment loss 000 40,000
Plant: accumulated impairment – Recoverable amount: 320
loss 000 40,000
CA= 360,000; Recoverable amount
= 320,000 = 40,000
Notice how the measurement of the non-monetary asset (plant) is not affected by the changes in the
exchange rates.
Revaluation of non-current assets
If the company is using revaluation model in IAS 16 for the property, plant and equipment then these non-
current assets might be revalued.
For example, a Pakistani company might own a property in Thailand. The cost of the property would have
been recorded at the spot rate when the property was originally purchased. However, it might
subsequently have been revalued if revaluation model of IAS 16 is applied. The revaluation will almost
certainly be in Thai baht (foreign currency). This revalued amount must be translated into the functional
currency of the entity (in this example, rupees).
Example:
A Pakistani company (with the rupee as its functional currency) has a financial year ending on 31 December.
It bought a building classified as property, plant and equipment in Bahrain on 1 jan 2016 for 100,000 Bahraini
dinar (BD) by paying the amount on same date. Building has a useful life of 50 years.
The building was revalued to BD 120,000 on 31 December 2016.
Exchange rates:
1 Jan 2016 Rs.275/BD1
31 December 2016 Rs.290/BD1
The transaction would be recorded as follows:

24
On 1 Jan 2016
Debit Credit
Property, plant and equipment 27,500,000
Bank (Rs. 275 x BD100,000) 27,500,000
Being the initial recognition of building bought in a foreign currency
On 31 December 2016
BD Rate Rs.
Building on initial recognition 100,000 275 27,500,000
Depreciation(27,500,000/50) 550,000
Carrying amount 26,950,000
Revaluation surplus and Exchange gain (balance) 7,850,000
Building at year end 120,000 290 34,800,000
Accounting entries will be:
Debit Credit
Accumulated depreciation 550,000
Building 550,000
Building 7,850,000
Revaluation surplus (OCI) 7,850,000
Being the recognition of revaluation gain and exchange gain on retranslation of carrying amount of a
building denominated in a foreign currency.
Treatment of exchange gain or loss:
Any gain or loss arising on retranslation of this property is recognized in the same place as the gain or loss
arising on the revaluation that led to the retranslation.
If a revaluation gain is recognized in other comprehensive income (i.e within equity) in accordance with IAS
16, the exchange difference would also be recognized in other comprehensive income. If, however
revaluation loss is recognized in profit or loss in accordance with IAS 16, the exchange difference would
alsobe recognized in profit or loss.
Investment property (IAS 40)
it is a property (land or buildings or part of a building or both)
held by an owner
to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for:
 use in the production or supply of goods and services or for administrative use (Owner-occupied property
IAS 16); or
 sale in ordinary course of business (Inventories IAS 2)

Measurement at initial recognition


Investment property should be measured initially at cost plus any directly attributable expenditure
(means transaction taxes e.g. legal fees, property transfer taxes and other transaction costs) incurred to
acquire the property.
Measurement after initial recognition
After initial recognition an entity may choose as its accounting policy:
the fair value model; or
the cost model.
The chosen policy must be applied to all the investment properties of the entity unless fair value of an
investment property is not reliably measurable.
1. Under the fair value model, the entity should:
revalue its investment property to ‘fair value’ at the end of each financial year; and
recognize any resulting gain or loss in profit or loss for the period.

This is different to the revaluation model of IAS 16, where gains are reported as other

25
comprehensive income and accumulated as a revaluation surplus.
The investment property measured under fair value model would not be depreciated.
2. Cost model for investment property
The cost model in IAS 40 follows the provisions of IAS 16. The property is measured at cost
less accumulated depreciation (related to the non-land element) and less impairment loss if any.
Example: Accounting for investment property under both the models
On 1 January 2011 Entity P purchased a property for its investment potential. The property cost Rs. 1
million with transaction costs of Rs. 10,000.
The building component of the property at this date was Rs. 300,000 and the remaining portion is land.
The building has a useful life of 50 years.
At the end of 2011 the property’s fair value had risen to Rs. 1.3 million.
The amounts which would be included in the financial statements of Entity P at 31 December 2011, under
the cost model are as follows:
Cost model
The property will be included in the statement of financial position as follows:
Rs.
Cost (1,000,000 + 10,000) 1,010,000
Accumulated depreciation (300,000 ÷ 50 years) (6,000)
Carrying amount 1,004,000
The statement of profit or loss will include depreciation of Rs. 6,000. Fair value of Rs. 1.3 million will be
only disclosed in notes to financial statements.
Fair value model
The amounts which would be included in the financial statements of Entity P at 31 December 2011, under the
fair value model are as follows:
The property will be included in the statement of financial position at its fair value of Rs. 1,300,000.
The statement of profit or loss will include a gain of Rs. 290,000 (Rs. 1,300,000 –
Rs. 1,010,000) in respect of the fair value adjustment.
The investment property measured under fair value model would not be depreciated.
IAS 40 with IAS 21
The subsequent measurement of non-monetary items occurs simply in terms of the relevant IFRS. For
example, if an investment property is purchased and purchase was denominated in a foreign currency, this is
converted into the local currency and the investment property is then measured in terms of IAS 40. These
items are not affected by subsequent changes in exchange rates if carried at cost model.
Revaluation of non-current assets
If the company is using fair value model in IAS 40 for the investment properties, then these non-current assets
might be revalued.
Example:
A Pakistani company (with the rupee as its functional currency) has a financial year ending on 31 December.
It bought a building classified as investment property in Bahrain on 1 December 2016 for 100,000 Bahraini
dinar (BD) by paying the amount on same date. Building has a useful life of 50 years.
The building was revalued to BD 120,000 on 31 December 2016 according to fair value model in IAS 40.
Exchange rates:
1 December 2016 Rs.275/BD1
31 December 2016 Rs.290/BD1
The transaction would be recorded as follows:
On 1 December 2016

26
Debit Credit
Investment property 27,500,000
Bank (Rs. 275 x BD 100,000) 27,500,000
Being the initial recognition of building bought in a foreign currency
As fair value model of IAS 40 is used therefore there is no concept of
any depreciation.
31 December 2016
Building at year end 120,000 290 34,800,000
Fair value gain is [34,800,000 – 27,500,000 = 7,300,000]
As the building is an investment property carried at fair value, revalued following the rules in IAS 40
thecredit of Rs. 7,300,000 would be to the statement of profit or loss.
Debit Credit
Building 7,300,000
P.L Other income 7,300,000
Determining the transaction date (Further discussion)
The first thing that must be determined in a foreign currency transaction is the transaction date. A general
rule for purchase or sale transaction is that the transaction date would be when the risks and rewards of
ownership transfer from one entity to the other entity.
For regular import or export transactions, establishing the date that risks and rewards are transferred is
complicated by the fact that goods sent to or ordered from other countries usually spend a considerable
time in transit.
Common ways of shipping goods between countries:
 Free on Board (F.O.B); or
 Cost, Insurance, Freight (C.I.F).

If a transaction is arranged on a Free on Board (F.O.B) basis, the situation is:


 generally, as soon as the entity shipping the goods has delivered the goods to the port of departure
and they have been loaded onto a ship, the risks of the remaining voyage transfers to the entity that
will be receiving those goods; and therefore
 the transaction date will generally be the date that the goods are loaded onto a ship (by seller).
If a transaction is arranged on a Cost Insurance Freight (C.I.F) basis, the situation is:
 generally, the entity shipping the goods retains the risks of the voyage until the goods arrive in
the receiving port and are cleared through customs; and therefore
 the transaction date will generally be the date that the goods are offloaded at the destination harbor
(means port) and are cleared through customs (means goods arrive at the buyer’s port).
The exact wording of the terms of the shipping documentation must, however, always be investigated first
before determining the transaction date.
Determining the settlement date
The settlement date is the date on which:
 a foreign creditor is fully or partially paid; or
 full or partial payment is received from a foreign debtor.

Determining the translation date:


It is possible for a foreign currency transaction to spread over more than one financial year. In other words,
where such a transaction is spread over more than one financial year, at least one year-end occurs between
transaction date and settlement date. The year-end/s falling between transaction and settlement date is
known as the translation date.

Example: determining transaction, settlement and translation dates

 On 13 January 2014, Home Limited faxed an order for 1 000 yellow bicycles to Far Away Limited, a
bicycle manufacturer in Iceland, to be paid on 30 April 2014.
 On 16 January 2014, Home Limited received a faxed confirmation from Far Away Limited informing
them that the order had been accepted.

27
On 25 January 2014, Far Away Limited finished production of the required bicycles and packed
them for delivery.
 On 1 February 2014, the bicycles were delivered to one of Iceland’s many harbours and were loaded
onto a ship
 The ship set sail on 4 February 2014.
 Due to stormy weather it only arrived at the port in Home Limited’s country on 31 March 2014.
 The bicycles were offloaded and released from customs on the same day.
 On 5 April 2014, the bicycles finally arrived in Home Limited’s warehouse.
 Far Away Limited was paid on 30 April 2014.
 Home Limited has a 28 February financial year-end.
Required:
A. State the transaction, translation and settlement dates assuming the bicycles were shipped F.O.B.
B. State the transaction, translation and settlement dates assuming the bicycles were shipped C.I.F.
Solution to example: determining transaction, settlement and translation dates
A. If shipped on FOB basis:
The transaction date is 1 February 2014: in terms of an F.O.B. transaction, the risks of ownership of the
bicycles would pass to Home Limited on the date the bicycles are loaded onto the ship.

The translation date is 28 February 2014 since this is Home Limited’s year-end on which date the
foreign currency monetary item (foreign creditor) still exists, (the transaction date has occurred and the
settlement has not yet happened).

The settlement date is 30 April 2014 being the date on which Home Limited pays the foreign creditor.
B. If shipped on CIF basis:
The transaction date is 31 March 2014: in terms of a C.I.F. transaction, the risks of ownership of the
bicycles would pass to Home Limited on the date that the bicycles are cleared from customs.

There is no translation date because at 28 February 2014 no foreign currency monetary item (foreign
creditor) existed. Thus there are no items to translate at either year-end.
The settlement date is 30 April 2014 being the date when the foreign creditor was paid.
Terms and definitions used in IAS 21:
IAS 21 identifies three types of currency: the presentation currency, the functional currency and foreign
currency.
Presentation currency: The currency in which the financial statements of an entity are presented
Functional currency: The currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity
operates. Foreign currency: A currency other than the functional currency of the entity

Example
Madina limited is a UK-registered mining company whose shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange.
Its operating activities take place in the gold and diamond mines of South Africa.
 What is the presentation currency of Madina limited?
 What is its functional currency?
 Madina limited bought specialised mining equipment from the US, invoiced in US dollars.
What type of currency is the US dollar?
Answer
 The presentation currency (reporting currency) is sterling (UK pounds). This is a
requirement of the UK financial markets regulator for UK listed companies.
 The functional currency is likely to be South African Rand, even though the company is based in
the UK. This is because its operating activities take place in South Africa and so the company will be
economically dependent on the Rand if the salaries of most of its employees, and most operating
expenses and sales are in Rand.

28
 The US dollars are ‘foreign currency’ for the purpose of preparing Madina Limited’s accounts.
Presentation currency
An entity is permitted to present its financial statements in any currency. This reporting currency is often
the same as the functional currency, but does not have to be. [Generally the presentation currency is same as
functional currency].
Functional currency
When a reporting entity records transactions in its financial records, it must identify its functional currency
and make entries in that currency. It will also, typically, prepare its financial statements in its functional
currency.
Steps to be followed (summary of above paragraph)
 Record the transactions in functional currency.
 Company will first prepare its financial statements in its functional currency.
 If presentation currency is different from functional currency, then translate the financial statements
prepared in functional currency into financial statements prepared in presentation currency.
IAS 21 describes the functional currency as
1. The currency that mainly influences: [Para 9]
 sales prices for goods and services
 labour, material and other costs of providing goods or services.
2. The following factors may also provide an evidence of an entity’s
functionalcurrency: [Para 10]
 The currency in which funds are generated by issuing debt and equity
instrument.
 The currency in which receipts from operating activities are usually
retained.

Solutions:
Answer 1:
On the sale [28.02.2013]:
Translate the sale at the spot rate prevailing on the transaction date.
£200,000/0.55 = $ 363,636
Receivables 363,636
Sales 363,636
When the cash is received [15.04.2013]:
Dollar value of amount received = £200,000/0.60 =
$333,333 Loss on transaction = 363,636 – 333,333 =
30,303
Bank 333,333
Exchange loss 30,303
Receivables 363,636
Answer 2:
Translate the sale at the spot rate prevailing on the transaction
date. Mol 200,000/1.55 = $129,032
Receivables 129,032
Sales 129,032
At the reporting date [31.12.2011]:
The receivables balance is a monetary item and so must be retranslate using the
closing rate. Mol 200,000/1.34 = $149,254
Gain = 149,254 – 129,032 = 20,222
Receivables 20,222

Answer 6:
(a) (i) If all the tables were sold on December 20, 2017 and were paid for on December 15,2017
Statement of Profit or Loss:
Purchase/cost of sale = US $ 1,500,000 / 0.0080 = PKR
187,500,000 Exchange gain on = (US $
1,500,000 / 0.0080) – (US $ 1,500,000 / 0.0085)
Settlement of payable
= 187,500,000 – 176,470,588
= PKR 11,029,412
The US $ has weakened between the date of the transaction and the date of settlement, so the cost of settling
the trade payable in terms of Pak Rupees has reduced thereby producing an exchange gain, which will be
recognized in profit or loss.
Statement of Financial Position:
No balances are outstanding, as all the inventories have been sold and the trade payable is settled before the year-
end.

(ii) If all tables were sold on February 03, 2018 and were paid for on

December 15, 2017: Statement of profit or Loss:


Purchase = US $ 1,500,000 / 0.0080 = PKR 187,500,000
Less: Closing stock = 187,500,000
Cost of sale = 0
Exchange gain on Settlement of payable = PKR 11,029,412
Statement of Financial Position
Inventories=US $ 1,500,000 / 0.0080 = PKR 187,500,000
All the purchases were held in inventory at the year end. As a non-monetary item, inventories remain at their
original cost (i.e. at the exchange rate at the date of the original purchase)
(iii) If all the tables were sold on December 15, 2017 and were paid for on February 03, 2018:
Statement of Profit or Loss:
Purchase/cost of sale = US $ 1,500,000 / 0.0080 = PKR 187,500,000
Exchange gain on = (US $ 1,500,000 / 0.0080) – (US $ 1,500,000 / 0.0095)
Settlement of payable
= 187,500,000 – 157,894,737
= PKR 29,605,263
The exchange gain is now determined with respect to the value of the trade payable at the year-end (as a
monetary item trade payables are translated at the year-end exchange rate). The US $ has weakened between
the date of the transaction and the year end, so the cost of settling of the trade payable in terms of PKR has

33
reduced, thereby producing an exchange gain, which is recognized in profit or loss. The reminder of any
exchange gain/loss between the year end and the date of eventual settlement is recognized in the 2018 financial
statements.
Statement of Financial Position:
Inventories = Nil
All the inventory is sold during the year.
Trade payables = (US $ 1,500,000 / 0.0095) = PKR 157,894,737
(iv) If 75% of the tables were sold on December 15, 2017 with the remaining 25% tables sold on
February 03, 2018. All the tables were paid for on February 03, 2018:
Statement of Profit or Loss:
Purchase = US $ 1,500,000 / 0.0080 = PKR 187,500,000
Less: Closing stock = (PKR 46,875,000)
Cost of sales = 140,625,000
Exchange gain on year-end = (US $ 1,500,000 / 0.0080) – (US $ 1,500,000 / 0.0095)
retranslation of payable
= 187,500,000 – 157,894,737
= PKR 29,605,263
Statement of Financial Position:
Inventories = 25% x (US $1,500,000 / 0.0080) = PKR 46,875,000
Trade payables = (US $ 1,500,000 / 0.0095) = PKR 157,894,737
25% of the purchases were still held in inventory at the year-end. As a non-monetary item, these inventories
remain at their original cost (i.e. at the exchange rate at the date of original purchase).

The journal entries are:
On 1 January 2020 the loan is recorded on initial recognition as follows:

Amount in PKR
Bank 150,000,000
Loan payable — financial liability 150,000,000
($1,000,000 x Rs.150/$)
To recognise the borrowing transaction.
Year ended 31 December 2020
During 2020 BL records interest expense as follows:
Interest expense 12,040,000
Loan payable—financial liability 12,040,000
($80,000 x 150.5)
To recognise interest on loan payable in 2020.
On 31 December 2020 the year’s interest is paid and the following journal entry needs to be recognised:
Loan payable—financial liability 12,080,000
Bank 12,080,000
($80,000 x Rs.151/$)
To recognise the payment of 2020 interest on financial liability.
At 31 December 2020 the loan is to be recorded at Rs.151 million ($1 million x Rs.151/$).
An exchange loss of Rs. 1,040,000 arises, which is due to the difference between Rs.151 million (calculation:
USD 1 million x Rs.151/$) recorded at 31 December 2020 and the opening loan balance (Rs.150 million)
adjusted for the interest expense (Rs. 12,040,000) and its cash payment (Rs.12,080,000).
Consequently, a further journal entry on 31 December 2020 is:
Exchange loss (P&L) 1,040,000
Loan payable — financial liability 1,040,000
[(150,000 + 12,040,000 – 12,080,000) – (1,000,000 x 151)] = 1040,000
To recognise differences arising on translating monetary items at rates different from those at which they were
translated on prior recognition
Year ended 31 December 2021
In 2021 BL records interest expense as follows:
Profit or loss — interest expense 12,140,000
Loan payable — financial liability 12,140,000
($ 1 million @ 8% p.a x Rs.151.75 / $)
To recognise interest on loan payable in 2021.

On 31 December 2021 yearly interest and loan principal are paid, so the following journal entry is
recognised:

40
Loan payable—financial liability 164,700,000
Bank 164,700,000
[$1,080,000 x Rs.152.5 / $]
To recognise the payment of 2021 interest and principal
At 31 December 2021 the loan is fully repaid (last interest payment plus principal).

An exchange loss of Rs.1.56 million arises due to the difference between the Rs.164.7 million paid on 31
December 2021 and the opening loan balance adjusted for the interest.
Consequently, a further journal entry on 31 December 2021 is:
Exchange loss (P/L) 1,560,000
Loan payable — financial liability 1,560,000
To recognise differences arising on translating monetary items at rates different from those at
which they were translated on prior recognition (calculation Rs.164.7 million less (Rs.151
million+ Rs.12.14 million). (151,000,000 + 12,140,000 – 164,700,000) – 0 = 1,560,000

Answer-2:
(a) Year to June 2014
On 21.05.2014, the revenue and receivable for the sale of €96,000 should be translated at the spot rate
of 0.8 (i.e 96,000/0.8) $120,000
21-5-2014
Debtor $120,000
Sales $120,000
The capital expenditure of €1m should also be translated at the spot rate of 0.8:
Debit: Property, Plant and Equipment $1,250,000
Credit: Payables $1,250,000 (1,000,000/0.8)
The receipt on 12 June relating to the receivable is translated at the rate of 0.9 on that date. This generates
cash of $106,667 to settle a receivable of $ 120,000. Hence an exchange loss of $ 13,333 is recognized in
profit and loss.
12-6-2014
Bank (96,000/0.9) $106,667
Forex loss (bal.) $13,333
Debtor $120,000
The non-current asset is not re-translated at the year-end because it is a non monetary asset, but the
outstanding payable (a monetary item) must be re-stated to the year–end exchange rate of 0.7. This gives a
year-end payable of $1,428,571. This has increased from the initial $1,250 000; therefore an exchange loss
of $178,571 will be recognized in profit and loss.
30-6-2014
Forex loss 178,571
Payable 178,571
[(1,000,000/0.7)-1,250,000]
(b) Year to June 2015
When the payable is settled after the year end at the spot of 0.8, it results in a payment of $1,250,000. There
is an exchange gain of $178,571 compared with the carrying value at the end of 2014.

Detailed discussion of points related to lease is before the Self-Tested Questions on page number 24.

Discussions of Important Adjustments


1. Gratuity:
Amount payable to employees at the time of their retirement/termination.
Accounting Entries:
Gratuity Expense Xxx
Gratuity Payable Xxx
(As the services are provided on yearly basis)
Gratuity Payable Xxx
Cash Xxx
(When the amount is paid to employees)
Treatment in calculation of current tax:
Gratuity expense is added back in profit before tax, while gratuity payment is deducted.

55
2. Bad Debts:
Actual bad debts if no allowance
Bad debt xxx
Debtor xxx

Entry of estimated bad debts:


Estimated bad debt= Debtor x Rate
Suppose in 2014, Rs 15,000 allowance is made:
Bad debt 15,000
Allowance for bad debts 15,000

Statement of Financial Position


Debtors xxx
Less: Allowance for bad debts (15,000)
xxx

2014: Current Tax Rs


Profit before tax-Assumed 800,000
Add: Bad debt expense 15,000
Taxable profit 815,000

Now suppose actual bad debts are Rs 15,000 in 2015


Allowance for bad debts 15,000
Debtor 15,000
(This entry will have no effect on income statement)

2015: Current Tax Rs


Profit before tax- Assumed 900,000
Less: Bad debt written off (actual bad debts) (15,000)
Taxable profit 885,000

Treatment in calculation of current tax:


Bad debts expense is added back while bad debts written off is deducted.

3. Borrowing Cost:
As per IAS-23 Borrowing cost is recognized as an expense unless it relates to a qualifying asset.
However, it is treated as an expense in income tax ordinance.
Suppose during the year, Rs 20,000 borrowing cost is capitalized.

Current Tax Rs
Profit before tax-Assumed 1,200,000
Less: Borrowing cost (20,000)
Taxable profit 1,180,000
Calculation of carrying amount and tax base in case of borrowing cost
capitalized: IFRS Income Tax Ordinance
CWIP-Building (Assumed) 500,000 CWIP-Building (Assumed) 500,000

Deferred Tax:
Year 1
 In the first year we have earned profit of Rs 100,000 according to accounting standards. However, we
are paying tax on Rs 85,000 according to Income Tax Ordinance, in the current period.
 Tax on Rs 15,000 amounting to Rs 4,500 (15,000 x 30%) will be paid in future.
 According to accrual concept this tax of Rs 4,500 should be recognized as an expense in the year 1.
 This tax (Rs 4,500) which is deferred to future years is called as deferred tax.
Deferred tax expense (DTE) 4,500
Deferred tax liability (DTL) 4,500

57
At the end of year 1:
Carrying Amount = 100,000 – 25,000 = Rs 75,000
Tax base = 100,000 – 40,000 = Rs 60,000
Difference 15,000
15,000 x 30% Rs 4,500 DTL
Year 2:
 In the second year we have earned profit of Rs 100,000 according to accounting standards.
However, we are paying tax on Rs 95,000 according to Income Tax Ordinance, in the current period.
Tax on Rs 5,000 amounting to Rs 1,500 (5,000 x 30%) will be paid in future.
 According to accrual concept this tax of Rs 1,500 should be recognized as an expense in the year 2.
 This tax (Rs 1,500) is called deferred tax.
Deferred tax expense (DTE) 1,500
Deferred tax liability (DTL) 1,500
At the end of year 2:
Carrying Amount = 100,000 – 50,000 = Rs 50,000

Tax base = 100,000 – 70,000 = Rs 30,000


Difference 20,000
20,000 x 30% Rs 6,000 DTL
 If we compare profits it will result into income statement figure (for the year)
 If we compare carrying amount with tax base it will result into statement of financial position
figures (closing balance)
Year 3:
 We have earned profit of Rs 100,000 according to accounting standards. However, we are paying
tax on Rs 105,000 according to Income Tax Ordinance, in the current period.
 During the year we are paying extra tax of Rs 1,500 (5,000 x 30%) related to previous years,
therefore our DTL is starting to be settled and reversed.
Deferred tax liability 1,500
Deferred tax expense 1,500

At the end of year 3:


Carrying Amount = 100,000 – 75,000 = Rs 25,000

Tax base = 100,000 – 90,000 = Rs 10,000


Difference 15,000
15,000 x 30% Rs 4,500 DTL
Year 4:
 We have earned profit of Rs 100,000 according to accounting standards. However, we are paying
tax on Rs 115,000 according to Income Tax Ordinance, in the current period.
 During the year we have paid extra tax of Rs 4,500 (15,000 x 30%) related to previous year,
therefore our DTL is fully settled and reversed.
Deferred tax liability 4,500
Deferred tax expense 4,500

At the end of year 4:


Carrying Amount = 100,000 – 100,000 = 0
Tax base = 100,000 – 100,000 = 0
Difference 0
0 x 30% 0 DTL

Summary
If DTL increases
Deferred tax expense xxx
Deferred tax liability xxx

58
If DTL decreases
Deferred tax liability xxx
Deferred tax expense xxx
Important Definitions:
Carrying Amount:
Amount at which asset or liability is presented in statement of financial position (figures in statement of financial
position; if it is prepared according to accounting standards).
Tax Base:
Amount attributed to asset or liability for tax purposes (figures in statement of financial position; if it is prepared
according to income tax ordinance)
Summary of carrying amounts at tax base discussed in the scenario:
Carrying Amount Tax Base Difference x 30%
END OF Y1 75,000 60,000 15,000 4,500 DTL
END OF Y2 50,000 30,000 20,000 6,000 DTL
END OF Y3 25,000 10,000 15,000 4,500 DTL
END OF Y4 - - - DTL
End of Year 1:
Future accounting depreciation will be Rs 75,000. However, future tax depreciation will be Rs 60,000. It means future
tax depreciation will be less by Rs 15,000. It will result into increase in future taxable profits by Rs 15,000. Therefore,
we have to pay extra tax of Rs 4,500 (15,000 x 30%) in future.
End of Year 2:
Future accounting depreciation will be Rs 50,000, however future tax depreciation will be Rs 30,000. It means future
tax depreciation will be less by Rs 20,000. It will result into increase in future taxable profits by Rs 20,000. Therefore,
we have to pay extra tax of Rs 6,000 (20,000 x 30%) in future.
End of Year 3:
Future accounting depreciation will be Rs 25,000. However, future tax depreciation will be Rs 10,000. It means future
tax depreciation will be less by Rs 15,000. It will result into increase in future taxable profits by Rs 15,000. Therefore,
we have to pay extra tax of Rs 4,500 in future.
End of Year 4:
Future accounting depreciation will be Nil. Future tax depreciation will also be Nil. It means we have to pay no extra
tax in future periods, therefore we have no deferred tax liability.

Scenario 2 Summary
End of 2014:
 Bad debts expense of Rs 25,000 has been recognized in 2014 on estimated bases as per accounting standards.
However, this expense will be allowed on actual basis in future according to Income Tax Ordinance.
 It will result into reduction in future taxable profit. Therefore, future tax expense will be less by Rs 7,500
(25,000 x 30%). This future tax saving is called as deferred tax asset.
Deferred Tax Asset 7,500
Deferred Tax Expense 7,500
End of 2015:
As the tax has been saved during 2015 because of actual bad debts, therefore DTA has been reversed.
Deferred tax expense 7,500
Deferred tax asset 7,500
Scenario 3:Gratuity:
Gratuity is an employee benefit payable at the time of retirement/termination. It is recognized as an expense on
accrual basis in accounting. However, it is deductible for tax purposes on payment basis.
Suppose first year of business i.e 30-6-2014
Gratuity Expense 100,000
Provision for Gratuity/Gratuity Payable 100,000
Suppose no payment on account of gratuity is made during the year
Statement of Financial Position
As on 30-6-2014
Carrying Amount Tax Base Difference
Gratuity Payable 100,000 - 100,000
Deferred Tax
This amount of Rs 100,000 has been recognized as an expense as per accounting standards on accrual basis
however, this amount will be allowed as an expense on cash basis in future while calculating future taxable
profits. It will result into reduction in future taxable profits. Therefore, we are expecting tax saving of
Rs 30,000 in future (100,000 x 30%).This saving is called as deferred tax asset.
Deferred Tax Asset 30,000
Deferred Tax Expense 30,000
 When the gratuity will be paid to employees in future periods then tax saving will occur and DTA
will reverse.
Summary:
If carrying amount of an asset is more than Tax base it results into Deferred Tax Liability. [Page 6]

61
If carrying amount of an asset is less than Tax base it results into Deferred Tax Asset. [Page 7]
If carrying amount of a liability is more than Tax base it results into Deferred Tax Asset. [Page 9]
If carrying amount of a liability is less than Tax base it results into Deferred Tax Liability.

Deferred Tax:
As on 30-6-2015
Tax loss (500,000)
This tax loss will reduce future taxable profits therefore it will result into future tax

Accounting Entry
Deferred tax asset 150,000
Deferred tax expense 150,000
First Scenario: If during the year ended 30-06-2016, taxable profits are Rs 700,000 (as discussed above) then all
tax loss brought forward will be adjusted and therefore no closing deferred tax asset (which means deferred tax
asset is reversed).
Second Scenario: If suppose during the year ended 30-06-2016; instead of taxable profits of Rs 700,000, taxable
profit are Rs 400,000, then:
Current Tax Working
Taxable Profit 400,000
Less C/F tax losses (500,000)
Tax loss after adjustment of losses (100,000)
Current Tax Nil
Now, closing balance of DTA will be 100,000 x 30% = Rs 30,000 as on 30-06-2016.

Third Scenario: if suppose during the year ended 30-06-2016, instead of taxable profits of Rs 700,000, there is a
tax loss of Rs 200,000 then:
Current Tax Working
Tax Loss (200,000)
Less C/F tax losses (500,000)
Tax loss after adjustment of losses (700,000)
Current Tax Nil
Now closing of DTA will be 700,000 x 30% = 210,000
200,000 out of 700,000 can be c/f for next 6 years from 2016.Remaining 500,000 can be c/f to next 5 years.

1. If accounting profits (after adjustment of permanent differences) are more than taxable profits it will
result into deferred tax expense.
2. If accounting profits (after adjustment of permanent differences) are less than taxable profits it will
result into reversal of deferred tax expense.

Rule of Tax Expense:
If accounting profits are multiplied with tax rate; then the resulting figure should be equal to
sum of current tax and deferred tax (means tax expense).
This rule is applicable if there is no permanent difference and no effect of rate change.
Sometimes in questions of IAS-12 a reconciliation between expected tax and actual tax is required
in notes as a disclosure.

Important points to remember while applying income statement approach of deferred tax
 If there is accounting profit (after adjustment of permanent differences) and tax loss, then simply multiply the
rate with accounting profits to calculate deferred tax for the year.
 If there is an accounting loss (after adjustment of permanent differences) and tax loss, then simply multiply
the rate with adjusted accounting loss and it results into reversal of deferred tax expense.

In the original question of ICAP, opening balance of D.T.L as on 31-12-2009 is 18.9 million,
which is not correct. Therefore, in original ICAP solution, reconciliation of 2010 is not prepared.
Correct opening balance as on 31-12-2009 can be calculated as follows:

Carrying Amount Tax Base Difference


Provision for bad debts 9 - 9 D.T.D
Fixed Assets 104 (95+9) 97 (90+7) 7 T.T.D
2 D.T.D
x 35% 0.7 D.T.A
Tax loss =19.25 x 35% 6.7375 D.T.A
D.T.A as on 31-12- 7.4375
2009
Based on this Opening balance, deferred tax for the year ended 31-12-2010 is:
D.T.A
B/D 7.4375
D.T.E 4.9875
C/D 2.45

85
Therefore tax note should appear as follows in 2010
2010
Current Tax (10.76)
Deferred Tax (4.9875)
(15.7475)
Therefore, reconciliation of 2010 can be prepared as follows:

Tax Rate 35%
Expected Tax 15.75
Actual Tax 15.75

(W3) FTL would have claimed 6 million as entertainment expense during the year ended 31.12.2013. in 2015,
that expense is disallowed. Now FTL has decided not to file the appeal (means FTL has accepted the decision). It
means FTL will have to pay extra tax on 6 million amounting to Rs. 1.92 (6 x 32%). Entry will be
Prior period tax 1.92

(Reversal of DTE) If for example accounting profits are not available even then we can calculate the deferred
tax for the period as follows:
1. If in current tax working add backs (ignoring permanent differences) are more, than taxable profits will be
more resulting into reversal of deferred tax expense. (credit of DTE)
2. If in current tax working add backs (ignoring permanent differences) are less, than taxable profits will be
less resulting into increase in deferred tax expense. (debit of DTE)
For example:
Add: Accounting depreciation 10.000
Add: Accounting depreciation on right of use asset (1(W1.1) /4) 0.250
Financial charges on lease liability (1.00 - 0.3) x 13.701% 0.096

Note: The company would have paid less tax after deducting Rs 0.25M in 2006 because it has claimed Rs
0.25 M as an expense. Now company has been allowed 0.15M but on remaining amount of Rs 0.1M it has to
pay tax. This tax related to 2006 has been finalized in 2009 so it is prior period tax.

Answer 8
(i) The carrying value of the investment is Rs. 105 million [85+20] while its tax base is Rs. 85 million as at 31
December 2022 i.e. the amount that will be deductible for tax purpose upon sale. This should result in taxable
temporary difference of Rs. 20 million on which deferred tax liability/expense of Rs. 7 million [20×35%] shall be
recognised. Since the fair value gain is reported in profit or loss, the related deferred tax expense is also recognised in
profit or loss.
(ii) The carrying value of the factory building is Rs. 1,260 million while its tax base is Rs. 1,080 million
[1,200×90%] as at 31 December 2022 i.e. the amount that will be deductible for tax purpose in future years. This
should result in taxable temporary difference of Rs. 180 million on which deferred tax liability/expense of Rs. 63
million [180×35%] shall be recognised. The effect arising due to the difference in depreciation i.e. Rs. 14 million
[40(120–80) ×35%], would be taken to profit or loss. While the remaining effect of liability arising due to
revaluation adjustment i.e. Rs. 49 million [140(180–40) ×35%], would be taken to other comprehensive income.
(iii) The carrying value of development cost is Nil (being expensed out) while its tax base is Rs. 18 million [20×90%]
as at 31 December 2022 i.e. the amount that will be deductible for tax purpose in future years. This should result
in deductible temporary difference of Rs. 18 million on which deferred tax asset / income of Rs. 6.3 million
[18×35%] shall be recognised. Since the development cost is taken to profit or loss, the corresponding effect
should also be credited to profit or loss.
(iv) At 31 December 2022, the carrying value of the government grant is Rs. 8 million [12–4(12÷3)] while its tax base
is the same as carrying value as benefit of government grant is not taxable. Therefore, no deferred tax shall arise.
(v) The tax loss of Rs. 260 million for the year 2022 shall result in deferred tax asset of Rs. 91 million [260×35%].
The deferred tax asset shall be recognised to the extent that TL is probable that taxable profit will be available
against which unused tax losses can be utilized. If TL will earn sufficient profits within next six years then
deferred tax asset should be recognized and corresponding effect should be credited to statement of profit or loss.

112
However, if TL is not expected to earn sufficient profit in future than deferred tax asset would not be recognized
and will be reassessed for recognition at each year end.

ICAP study text
Recognition of deferred tax liabilities [para 15]
A deferred tax liability must be recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except to the
extent that the deferred tax liability arises from:
 the initial recognition of goodwill; or
 the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which:
 is not a business combination; and
 at the time of the transaction, affects neither accountingprofit nor taxable profit (tax loss).
There is further guidance on the recognition of deferred tax liabilities in respect of taxable temporary differences
arising in a business combination but that is outside the scope of your syllabus.
Example:
In the year ended 31 December 2016, C Ltd. lent Rs. 100,000 to another company and incurredcosts of Rs. 5,000 in arranging
the loan. The loan is recognised at Rs. 105,000 in the accounts.

Under the tax rules in C Plc’s jurisdiction the cost of arranging the loan is deductible in the period
in which the loan is made.
Carrying amount Tax base Temporary difference
Rs. Rs. Rs.
Loans and advances 105,000 100,000 5,000
Deferred tax on initial recognition 1,500
The exception does not apply as the transaction affects the taxable profits on initialrecognition.
Recognition of deferred tax assets [para 24]
A deferred tax asset must be recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized, unless the deferred
tax asset arises fromthe initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that:
 is not a business combination; and
 at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss).
There is further guidance on the recognition of deferred tax asset in respect of deductible temporary differences
arising in a business combination but that is outside the scope of your syllabus.
A deferred tax asset must only be recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available
against which the deductible temporary difference can be used.
This means that IAS 12 brings a different standard to the recognition of deferred tax assets than it does to deferred tax
liabilities:
 liabilities are always recognised in full (subject to certain exemptions); but
 assets may not be recognised in full (or in some cases at all).
IAS 12 also requires that the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset must be reviewed at the end of each reporting
period to check if it is still probable that sufficient taxable profit is expected to be available to allow the benefit of its
use.
If this is not the case the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset must be reduced to the amount that it is expected
will be used in the future. Any such reduction might be reversed in the future if circumstances change again.
Carry forward of un-used tax losses and tax credits [para 34]
A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carry forward of un-used tax losses and un-used tax credits to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which they can be utilized. However, the
existence of unused tax losses is strong evidence that future taxable profit may not be available. Hence, it should
recognise deferred tax asset on these items, only when there is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable profit

114
will be available. Carry forward of un-used tax losses or tax credits create future tax relief for companies and are
therefore very valuable.
[para 36] An entity considers the following criteria in assessing the probability that taxable profit will be available
against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized:
1. whether the entity has sufficient taxable temporary differences relating to the same taxation authority and the
same taxable entity, which will result in taxable amounts against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits
can be utilized before theyexpire;
2. whether it is probable that the entity will have taxable profits before the unused tax losses or unused tax credits
expire;
3. whether the unused tax losses result from identifiable causes which are unlikely to recur; and
4. whether tax planning opportunities are available to the entity that will create taxable profit in the period in which
the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized.
Reassessment of unrecognized deferred tax assets [para 37]
At the end of each reporting period, an entity reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The entity recognizes a
previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will
allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. For example, an improvement in trading conditions may make it more
probable that the entity will be able to generate sufficient taxable profit in the future for the deferred tax asset to meet
the recognition criteria.
Example: Reassessment of unrecognized deferred tax assets
F Limited disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, that it has available tax losses
of Rs.60 million. The company losses are available for only 5 years. The company expects that it is unlikely to utilize
all the losses and, therefore, does not recognize a deferred tax asset. Tax rate is 35% for the year and will remain
same for future periods.
In 2019, the company restructures its business and expects that this restructuring will result in future taxable profits
upto Rs.50 million in next 5 years. The company, therefore, shall recognize at December 31, 2019 a deferred tax asset
for the available tax losses to the extent future taxable profits will be available i.e., Rs.17.5 (Rs.50 million x 35%).
Presentation
IAS 12: Income taxes contains rules on when current tax liabilities may be offset against current tax assets
Offset of current tax liabilities and assets [para 71]
A company must offset current tax assets and current tax liabilities if, and only if, it:
 has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and
 intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
These are the same rules as apply to assets and liabilities in general as described in IAS 1.
In the context of taxation balances whether a current tax liability and asset may be offset is usually specified in tax
law, thus satisfying the first criterion.
In most cases, where offset is legally available the asset would then be settled on a net basis (i.e. the company would
pay the net amount).
Offset of deferred tax liabilities and assets [para 74]
A company must offset deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if, and only if:
 the entity has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
 the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority on either:
 the same taxable entity; or
 different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to

115
realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant
amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
Disclosure [para 80]
Components of tax expense (income)
The major components of tax expense (income) must be disclosed separately. Components of tax expense (income)
may include:

 current tax expense (income);


 any adjustments recognised in the period for current tax of prior periods;
 the amount of deferred tax expense (income) relating to the origination and reversal of temporary differences;
 the amount of deferred tax expense (income) relating to changes in tax rates or the imposition of new taxes;
 the amount of the benefit arising from a previously unrecognised tax loss, tax credit or temporary difference of
a prior period that is used to reduce current tax expense;
 deferred tax expense arising from the write-down, or reversal of a previous write-down, of a deferred tax asset;
 the amount of tax expense (income) relating to those changes in accounting policies and errors that are
included in profit or loss in accordance with IAS 8, because they cannot be accounted for retrospectively.

Tax reconciliation
The following must also be disclosed:
 an explanation of the relationship between tax expense (income) and accounting profit in either or both of the
following forms:
 a numerical reconciliation between tax expense (income) and the product of accounting profit multiplied
by the applicable tax rate(s), disclosing also the basis on which the applicable tax rate(s) is (are)
computed; or
 a numerical reconciliation between the average effective tax rate and the applicable tax rate, disclosing
also the basis on which the applicable tax rate is computed;
 an explanation of changes in the applicable tax rate(s) compared to the previous accounting period;
A major theme in this chapter is that the different rules followed to calculate accounting profit and taxable profit lead
to distortion of the relationship that exists between profit before tax in the financial statements, the tax rate and the
current tax expense for the period. Accounting for deferred tax corrects this distortion so that after accounting for
deferred tax the tax expense

This is not the case if there are permanent differences. The above reconciliations show the effect of permanent
differences.

Example: Tax reconciliations


B Ltd. had an accounting profit before tax of Rs. 500,000. This contained income of Rs. 20,000 which is not taxable.
Accounting depreciation in the year was Rs. 100,000 and tax allowable depreciation was Rs. 150,000. This means that
a temporary difference of Rs. 50,000 originated in the year.
B Ltd.’s taxation computation is as follows: Rs.
Accounting profit
Add back inadmissible deductions 500,000
Depreciation 100,000
Deduct admissible deduction
Tax allowable depreciation 150,000

expense is disallowed. Now FTL has decided not to file the appeal (means FTL has accepted the decision). It means
FTL will have to pay extra tax on 6 million amounting to Rs. 1.92 (6 x 32%). Entry will be

Question 2
Ravi Limited has provided you the following information for determining its tax and deferred tax expense for the
year 2008 and 2009. Ravi limited was incorporated on 01.01.2008.

The concept is:
If revaluation surplus would have a part of profit or loss (included within profit before tax) rather than other
comprehensive income, then:
Working of current tax:

In that case no issue; the issue is only because revaluation surplus is part of OCI; therefore, its tax effect
should also be part of OCI.

A change in the carrying amount of an asset or liability might be to a transaction recognized outside the
statement of profit or loss (i.e. directly in other comprehensive income), i.e in case of revaluation as per IAS 16
and IAS 38.

Basic principle:
In this case, instead of recording the deferred tax effect in statement of profit or loss, the deferred tax effect is
also recorded in other comprehensive income.

Point to note:
Whenever there is a debit/credit effect to Rev. surplus other than in the entry of transfer of surplus to retained
earnings, tax effect of that adjustment will also be debited or credited to revaluation surplus.
Same rule is also applicable for IFRS 9 where gains or losses are sometimes recognized in other
comprehensive income.
A machine is purchased for Rs. 100,000 on 1 January 2011.
 Depreciation is provided on the machine at 25% per annum straight -line to a nil residual value.
 Machines are revalued to fair value using the net replacement value method. The fair values were: 1
January 2012: Rs. 120,000
1 January 2013: Rs. 60,000
 The revaluation surplus is transferred to retained earnings over the life of the asset.
 The tax authorities allow the cost to be deducted at 20% per annum and levy tax at 30%.

Required:
Calculate the deferred tax adjustments and balances, provide all journal entries from the year ended 31- 12-
2011 to 31-12-2015.

ICAP Study Text
Items recognised outside profit or loss
A change in the carrying amount of an asset or liability might be due to a transaction recognised outside the
statement of profit or loss (i-e. in other comprehensive income directly as per IFRS).
For example, IAS 16: Property, plant and equipment, allows for the revaluation of assets. The revaluation of
an asset without a corresponding change to its tax base (which is usually the case) will change the temporary
difference in respect of that asset. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset due to an upward revaluation
is recognised in other comprehensive income in accordance with IAS 16.
IFRS requires or permits various items to be recognised in other comprehensive income. Examples of such
items include:
 a change in carrying amount arising from the revaluation of property, plant and equipment (IAS 16);
 a change in carrying amount arising from the revaluation of intangible assets (IAS 38: Intangible
assets) though this is not the case in Pakistan;
IFRS requires or permits various items to be recognised directly in equity. Examples of such items
include:
 adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings resulting from either a change in accounting
policy that is applied retrospectively or the correction of an error (see IAS 8: Accounting policies,
changes in accounting estimates and errors); and
Investment in Associate (IAS 28 with IAS 12)
Example: Investment in Associate
Company A has acquired 20% shareholding in Company B for Rs. 250 million. Thereby as per IFRS, it shall be
treated as an Associate of Company A. Company A intends to apply equity method of accounting for
Company B.
Company B Financial highlights:
Profit after tax 75,000,000
Dividend Paid during the year 40,000,000
As per tax law, tax is collected on the dividend received and no tax implication is on the recording of profit
from associate. Rate of corporate tax rate is 29%, however, rate of dividend and capital gain tax is 15% and
20% respectively.

Extra practice questions:
Question 1: On 30 June 2014 F Company had a credit balance on its deferred tax account of Rs. 1,340,600 all
in respect of the difference between depreciation and capital allowances (means tax depreciation).
During the year ended 30 June 2015 the following transactions took place.
(1) Rs. 45 million was charged against profit in respect of depreciation. The tax computation showed capital
allowances of Rs. 50 million.
(2) Interest income of Rs. 50,000 was reflected in profit for the period. However, only Rs. 45,000of interest was
actually received during the year. Interest is not taxed until it is received.
(3) Interest expense of Rs. 32,000 was treated as an expense for the period. However, only Rs. 28,000 of
interest was actually paid during the year. Interest is not an allowable expense for tax purposes until it is
paid.
(4) During the year F incurred development costs of Rs. 500,600, which it has capitalised. Development costs
are an allowable expense for tax purposes in the period in which they are incurred.
(5) Land and buildings with a net book value of Rs. 4,900,500 were revalued to Rs. 6 million.
The tax rate is 30%. Francesca has a right of offset between its deferred tax liabilities and its deferred tax
assets.
Required:
Calculate the deferred tax liability on 30 June 2015. Show where the increase or decrease in the liability in
the year would be charged or credited.

Intangible Assets (IAS-38)
An identifiable non-current asset without physical substance. For example
 Software
 Manufacturing Licenses
 Import License
 Export License/ Export quota
 Airline routes
 Broadcasting Licenses
 Formulas/ Recipes (of medicines)
Asset is a resource controlled by the company as a result of past events and from which future benefits
are expected.
Recognition Criteria: [Para 21]
An intangible asset shall be recognized if and if only:
a) It is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and
b) Cost of an asset can be measured
reliably. An intangible asset is measured
initially at cost. Elements of cost: [Para 27 to
29] (as in IAS 16)

Goodwill:
Internally Generated Goodwill: [Para 48]
It is not recognized as an intangible asset because it is not a separable resource of the business that
can be measured reliably.

Purchased Goodwill: if cost of investment is more than the parents’ share in FV of net assets of
subsidiary at the date of acquisition. It is recognized in consolidated statement of financial position as a
non-current asset. It is not amortized; instead it is tested for impairment annually.

The following internally generated items must not be capitalized: [Para 63]
 Good will
 Brands (particular make of product e.g. Bata, Service)
 Mast heads (display title of newspaper e.g. DAWN NEWS etc)
 Publishing titles (profession of publishing books e.g. PBP)
 Customer lists (customer relationships)
If however these items are purchased then these are capitalized.

Internally generated intangible items Other than Goodwill: {Research & Development}
A company may have an intangible item that has been internally generated. There are three distinct phases:
1) Research
2) Development
3) Commercial Production.
Once the research phase is successfully completed, the development phase may begin, the successful
completion of which then leads to the start of the Commercial production phase.

The Research Phase:


It is defined as
 Original and planned investigation
 Undertaken with the prospect of gaining
 New scientific or technical knowledge
Accounting treatment of costs in research phase: [Para 54]
There is no guarantee at this stage that the future economic benefits can be obtained or are probable
(economic benefits are only possible).
Therefore, research costs are always expensed out.
Normally they are written as a separate line item after selling & admin expenses in income
statement (if material).

Examples of research activities: [Para 56]

142
The Development Phase:
Development is defined as:
 The application
 Of research finding
 To a plan or design for the production
 Of new or substantially improved products or services
 Prior to the commencement of commercial production or use.
Since development phase is after research phase therefore more advanced stage of creation, it may be
possible that item (formula) is expected to generate future economic benefits and therefore amount can be
capitalized,

if all the following criteria are fulfilled: [Para 57]


a) Technical feasibility of completing the asset;
b) The intention to complete the asset and to either use or sell it;
c) The ability to use or sell the asset;
d) How the asset will generate the future economic benefits;
e) The adequate availability of necessary resources to complete the development and to sell or use the asset
f) The ability to reliably measure the cost of the development of the asset.

If just one of these above mentioned criteria is not met even then the related development costs must be
expensed out.

Examples of development phase [Para 59]


Components of cost of an internally generated asset [Para 66 & 67]

Past Expense not to be capitalized: [Para 71]


Expenditures on an intangible item that are initially recognized as an expense shall not recognize as an
asset at a later date.

The commercial Production in which inventories are produced for sale.


Once development phase is successfully completed, the economic benefits from the use of the
development asset can start to flow into the entity. In order to achieve a better reflection of the
diminishing value of the asset as a result of usage, the development asset should be amortized.
The amortization of the development asset must begin as soon as asset is available for use. It therefore
does not matter when we actually start production.
However, research and development project must be continuously tested during the course of completion
for impairment and whenever carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount an impairment loss should
be recognized immediately.

143
Question 1
A company entered into a research and development project, the costs of which are as follows (all
costs are incurred evenly over the year):
20X1: 120,000
20X2: 100,000
20X3: 100,000
On 1 September 20X1, the recognition criteria for capitalization of development costs are
met. The recoverable amounts are as follows:
31 December 20X1 90,000
31 December 20X2 110,000
31 December 20X3 200,000
Required:
A. Show all journals related to the costs incurred for each of the years ended 31 December.
B. Disclose the development asset in the statement of financial position for 20X1 to 20X3.

Question 2
Zouq Inc. is a multinational company. As part of its vision to expand its business in South Asia, it
purchased a 90% share of a locally incorporated company, Momin Limited. Following are the brief
details of the acquisition:
Date of acquisition January 1, 2014
Total paid up capital of Momin Limited (Rs. 10 each) 500,000,000
Purchase price per share Rs. 30
Net assets of Momin Limited (as per 2013 audited financial statements) 650,000,000
Fair value of net assets (other than intangible assets) of Momin Limited 1,100,000,000
Momin Limited has an established line of products under the brand name of “Badar”. On behalf of Zouq
Inc., a firm of specialists has valued the brand name at Rs. 100 million with an estimated useful life of
10 years at January 1, 2014. It is expected that the benefits will be spread equally over the brand’s useful
life.
An impairment test of goodwill and brand was carried out on December 31, 2014 which indicated an
impairment of Rs. 50 million in the value of goodwill.
An impairment test carried out on December 31, 2015 indicated a decrease of Rs. 13.5 million in the
carrying value of the brand.
Required:
 What are the requirements of International Accounting Standards relating to amortization of
intangible assets having finite life?
 Prepare the ledger accounts for goodwill and the brand, showing initial recognition and all
subsequent adjustments.

Important Definitions:

Amortization:
 Is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an intangible asset
 Over its useful life

Useful Life:
 Is the period of time over which an asset is expected to be available for use by the entity; or
 The number of production or similar units the entity expects to obtain from the asset.

Impairment Loss:
 It is the amount by which
 the carrying amount of an asset
 exceeds its recoverable amount

Carrying Amount:
 is the amount at which an asset is recognized in the statement of financial position
 After deducting any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses thereon.

Recoverable Amount:

144
 of an asset is the Higher of:
 its fair value less costs to sell and
 its value in use

Fair Value:
Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset in an orderly transaction.

Recognition of an Intangible Asset:


Before an intangible item may be recognized as an intangible asset, it must meet the:
 definition of an intangible asset; and
 recognition criteria
The most important aspects to meet regarding the definition of an intangible asset are generally the
following:
 the asset must not have a physical form
 the asset must be ‘identifiable’; and
 the asset must be controlled by the entity

A) The item must be without physical substance:


Expenditure is frequently incurred on items that have both tangible and intangible elements. This requires
assessing which elements is more significant: the physical (Tangible) or the non-physical (Intangible)
element. Depending on which element is more significant will determine which standard should be
applied to the asset:
 the standard on Intangible Asset (IAS-38); or
 the standard on Property, Plant & Equipment (IAS-16).

Example: Recognition of a fishing license


A company has acquired a fishing license. The directors insist that it is a physical asset since it is written
on a piece of paper. State and briefly explain whether or not you would recognize a fishing license as an
intangible asset.

Solution:
Although the fishing license has a physical form, (the related legal documentation), the license is
considered intangible rather than tangible since the most significant aspect is the licensed ‘ability’ to fish.
Such a right (whether documented or not) is always considered to be intangible.

Example: Recognition of Software


State and briefly explain whether or not you would recognize software as an intangible asset if it is
incorporated into a machine that is dependent on the software for its operation.

Solution:
The most significant element would be considered to be tangible machine, since the software is
considered integral to the machine, and thereof the cost of the software would be recognized as part of the
cost of the machine and therefore classified as tangible. If the software was ‘*stand-alone’ software
rather than ‘in the machine’, it would have been classified as an intangible asset (IAS-38).
*Standalone software means which is not necessary for the machine to operate e.g. MS office or adobe
reader. Operating system is not stand alone software.

B) The item must be identifiable:


Another important aspect of definition of ‘intangible assets’ as per IAS-38 is that asset must be
identifiable. An asset is considered to be identifiable if it
 Is ‘separable’, i.e. is capable of being separated or divided from the entity and sold or exchanged.

C) The item must be controllable:


Control over an intangible asset can be achieved if the entity has
 The ability to restrict access to the asset and its related future economic benefits; and
 The power to obtain future economic benefits

Example: Recognition of Training Costs


State and briefly explain whether or not you would recognize training costs as an intangible asset.
145
Solution:
Although training may be considered to be expenditure on an identifiable, non-monetary item that is
without physical substance, the definition of an asset is not met in terms of the Framework since the
trained staff members may not necessarily be under sufficient control of the entity to be considered to be
an asset, unless it is protected by legal rights to use it and to obtain the future economic benefits from it
[Para 15].
Note: if question is silent regarding the protection of benefits by legal rights, then assume that they are not
protected by any future legal rights.

Question 3
FAZAL
The following information relates to the financial statements of Fazal for the year to 31 March 2015.
The IT division has begun a training course for all managers in a new programming language at a cost of
Rs. 200,000. The consultants running the training course have quantified the present value of the training
benefits over the next two years to be Rs. 400,000. The project cost has been included in the statement of
financial position as a non-current asset. The accounting policy note identifies that the costs will be
written off over the next two years to match the benefits.
Required
Explain the correct accounting treatment for the above (with calculations if appropriate).

Amortization and Impairment Testing:


An intangible asset may either be assessed as having:
a) A finite useful life
b) An indefinite useful life (This could be when there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the
asset is expected to generate cash flows)
Assets that have finite useful life is amortized whereas those that have indefinite useful life are
not amortized.
Impairment Testing:
Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are tested in the same way as Property, Plant &
equipment are tested for impairment:
Impairment test is first performed to identify whether there is any indication of impairment;
Then, if there appears to be material impairment, the recoverable amount is calculated and compared
to the carrying amount.
The following intangible assets are not amortized:
Purchased Goodwill
Intangible assets not yet available for use; and
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives;
Instead, the recoverable amount must be estimated every year irrespective of whether there is any
indication that suggests a possible impairment.

Amortization:
Only intangible assets with finites lives are amortized. There are three variables to calculate the
amortization
Residual Value
Period of amortization
Method of amortization

Depreciable amount
The depreciable amount is:
The cost of the asset
Less its residual value.

Residual value [Para 100]


In the case of intangible assets, the residual value is assumed to be zero unless:
A 3rd party has committed to purchase the asset at the end of its useful life; or
There is an active market for that asset and
it is possible to determine the residual value using such market and
It is expected that such a market will still exist at the end of useful life.

146
Trademarks (Registered design to identify the manufacture’s Goods)
Patents (official document giving the holder the right to make, use or sell an asset. E.g. new
medicine or software)

In process research & development


Whereas many companies do their own research and development, it is possible for a company to buy
another company’s research and development. If a company buys (either separately or as part of a business
combination) another company’s ‘in-process research and development’ project, the fair value of the
initial acquisition costs will be capitalised.
The entire purchase price is capitalised regardless of the portion of the fair value that relates to purchased
research.
Any subsequent expenditure on this purchased ‘in-process research and development’ project will,
however,
be analyzed and recognized in the normal way:
costs that relate to research must be expensed;
costs that relate to development:
- must be expensed if all recognition criteria are not met; and
- Capitalised if all recognition criteria are met.

Example: in-process research and development acquired


A company bought an incomplete research and development project from another company for Rs 400 000 on 1
January 20X1. The purchase price has been analyzed as follows:

Research 100 000


Development 300 000
Subsequent expenditure has been incurred on this project as follows:
Research: Further research into possible markets was considered necessary 200 000
Development: Incurred evenly throughout the year. All recognition criteria for 480 000
capitalization as a development asset were met on 1 June 20X1.

Required:
Show all journals related to the in-process research and development for 20X1

Solution
1-1-20X1 Debit Credit
Intangible Asset-Development cost 400 000
Bank/ liability 400 000
In-process research and development purchased (no differentiation between research and
development is made) when the project was acquired as ‘in-process R&D’
31-12-20X1
Research expense 200 000
Development expense [480 000 x 5/12] 200 000
Intangible Asset-Development cost [480 000 x 7/12] 280 000
Bank/ liability 680 000
Subsequent expenditure on an in-process research and development project recognized as usually
done: research is expensed and development costs capitalised only if all criteria for capitalization of
development costs are met

147
Self-test question 1
INTANGIBLE ASSETS ACQUIRED IN A BUSINESS COMBINATION
Recognition guidance
Any intangible asset identified in a business combination will be recognised as both recognition criteria
are deemed to be recognised.
The probability recognition criterion always considered to be satisfied for intangible assets acquired in
business combinations. This is because the fair value of an intangible asset reflects expectations about
the probability that the expected future economic benefits embodied in the asset will flow to the
company. In other words, the entity expects there to be an inflow of economic benefits.
The reliable measurement criterion is always considered to be satisfied for intangible assets acquired in
business combinations. If an asset acquired in a business combination is separable or arises from
contractual or other legal rights, sufficient information exists to measure reliably the fair value of the
asset.
Commentary
This means that an intangible asset that was not recognised in the financial statements of the new
subsidiary might be recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Examples of intangible assets


The following are all items that would meet the definition of an intangible asset if acquired in a business
combination.
 Market related intangibles
 Trademarks, trade names, service marks, collective marks and certification
marks;
 Internet domain names;
 Newspaper mastheads; and
 Customer related intangibles
 Customer lists;
 Customer contracts and the related customer relationships; and
 Artistic related intangibles
 Books, magazines, newspapers and other literary works;
 Video and audio-visual material:

Cost guidance
If an intangible asset is acquired in a business combination, its cost is the fair value at the acquisition
date.
If cost cannot be measured reliably then the asset will be included within goodwill.

In-process research and development


Another similar example involves in-process research and development
The acquiree might have a research and development project in process. Furthermore, it might not
recognise an asset for the project because the recognition criteria for internally generated intangible
assets have not been met.

Illustration:
Company X buys 100% of Company Y.
Company Y has spent Rs. 600,000 on a research and development project. This amount has all been
expensed as the IAS 38 criteria for capitalizing costs incurred in the development phase of a project
have not been met. Company Y has knowhow as the result of the project.

148
Company X estimates the fair value of Company Y’s knowhow which has arisen as a result of this
project to be Rs. 500,000.
Analysis
The in-process research and development is not recognised in Company Y’s financial statements. From
the Company X group viewpoint, the in-process research and development is a purchased asset. Part of
the consideration paid by Company X to buy Company Y was to buy the knowhow resulting from
the project and it should be recognised in the consolidated financial statements at its fair value of Rs.
500,000.

Subsequent expenditure on an acquired in-process research and development project


Expenditure incurred on an in-process research or development project acquired separately or in a
business combination and recognised as an intangible asset is accounted for in the usual way by
applying the IAS 38 recognition criteria.
This means that further expenditure on such a project would not be capitalised unless the criteria for the
recognition of internally generated intangible assets were met.

Illustration:
Continuing the previous example. Company X owns 100% of Company Y and has recognised an
intangible asset of Rs. 500,000 as a result of the acquisition of the company.
Company Y has spent a further Rs. 150,000 on the research and development project since the date of
acquisition. This amount has all been expensed as the IAS 38 criteria for capitalizing costs incurred in
the development phase of a project have not been met.

Analysis
The Rs. 150,000 expenditures is not recognised as an intangible asset in Company Y’s financial
statements.
From the Company X group viewpoint, further work on the in-process research and development project
is research and the expenditure of Rs. 150,000 must be expensed.

Illustration: internally generated brand


Company X buys 100% of Company Y.
Company Y owns a famous brand that it launched several years ago.
Analysis
The brand is not recognized in Company Y’s financial statements (IAS 38 prohibits the recognition of
internally generated brands).
From the Company X group view point the brand is a purchased asset. Part of the consideration paid by
Company X to buy Company Y was to buy the brand and it should be recognized in the consolidated
financial statements at its fair value.
Measurement Model
As with tangible assets covered in property, plant and equipment (IAS 16), there are two measurement
models for intangible assets:
The cost model; and
The revaluation model.
Cost Model
The intangible asset is shown at its cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated
impairment losses.
Revaluation model
If the intangible asset is measured under the revaluation model it is shown at its:
fair value at date of revaluation
Less any subsequent accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
The revaluation must be performed with sufficient regularity that the intangible asset’s carrying amount
does
not differ significantly from its fair value.
In revaluation model if an asset is to be revalued, all assets in that same class must be revalued at the
same time.

149
The mechanisms used in applying the revaluation model to intangible assets are just the same as those
used to apply the revaluation model to property, plant and equipment, with the one exception being that
the fair value of an intangible asset must be determined with reference to an active market ((there was
no such limitation in IAS 16: Property, plant and equipment). There is often no active market for the
intangible asset due to its uniqueness and therefore, although the revaluation model is allowed, it is often
not possible to apply in practice.
If, within a class of assets measured at fair value, there is an intangible asset that does not have a reliably
measurable fair value, then that asset will continue to be carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses (means not revalued).
If the revaluation model is used but at a later stage the fair value is no longer reliably determined (i.e.
there is no longer an active market), the asset should continue to be carried at the amount determined at
the date of the last revaluation less any subsequent accumulated amortization and impairment losses.
Accounting for a revaluation
The revaluation of an intangible asset is accounted for in the same way as that of a tangible asset
(covered by the standard on property, plant and equipment).

Definition: Active market


An active market is a market in which all the following conditions exist:
 the items traded in the market are homogeneous;
 willing buyers and sellers can normally be found at any time; and
 prices are available to the public.
Period of amortization
Amortization of the intangible asset should begin from the date on which it becomes available for use
(i.e. not from when the entity actually starts to use the asset).
Amortization should cease when the asset is derecognized.
The amortization period should be the shorter of:
The asset’s expected economic useful life; and
Its legal life.
Where the asset has a limited legal life (i.e. where related future economic benefits are controlled via
legal rights granted for a finite period), the expected economic useful life will be limited to the period of
the legal rights, if this is shorter, unless:
the legal rights are renewable by the entity; and
there is evidence to suggest that the rights will be renewed; and
The costs of renewal are not significant.
Example: Renewable rights
Ace Ltd purchased a 5 year fishing licence for Rs 100 000. The company expects to renew the licence at
the end of the 5-year period for a further 5 years. The government has indicated that they will re-grant
the licence to Ace Ltd.
Required:
Discuss the number of years over which the licence should be amortized, assuming that the costs
associated with the renewal is:
(i) 100; or
(ii) 99 000.

Solution
i) Renewable rights - insignificant cost
As the costs associated with the renewal are insignificant, the asset must be amortized over the 10 years
useful life. The entity intends to renew the licence and the government intends to re-issue the licence to
Ace Ltd, and therefore it must be treated as an asset with a 10-year useful life.
ii) Renewable rights - significant cost
As the costs associated with the renewal are significant, and almost equaling the initial cost of the
licence, the asset must be amortized over the 5-year useful life. Although the entity intends to renew the
licence, the renewed licence, when it is acquired, must be treated a separate asset and amortized over a

150
useful life of 5 years.

Method of amortization
The method used should be a systematic one that reflects the pattern in which the entity expects to use the
asset. The methods possible include:
straight-line
reducing balance
Unit of production method or any other method reflecting the pattern of benefits

Annual review
At the end of each financial period, the following should be reviewed in respect of intangible assets with
finite useful lives:
amortization period;
amortization method;
residual value; and
If there is any change in estimate, the change shall be treated as a change in accounting estimate as per
IAS-8 (means apply prospectively)
Intangible assets with indefinite useful life:
An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is:
Not amortized but
Entity is requiring to test such an asset for impairment by comparing its recoverable amount
with its carrying amount annually.
Intangible assets not yet available for use:
An intangible asset that is still not available for use is:
Not amortized, but it is
Tested every year for impairment even if there is no indication of impairment.
Review of useful Life Assessment:
The useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized shall be reviewed each period to
determine whether events or circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life assessment for
that and if they do not, the change in useful life assessment from indefinite to finite shall be accounted
for as a change in accounting estimate as per IAS-8.
Disclosures
Present carrying amount of intangible asset in Non-Current Assets in statement of financial
position.
Schedule in Notes to Financial Statements (just like tangible assets). If an intangible asset is
revalued, then same disclosures as in IAS-16
Class of assets
The same model should be applied to all assets in the same class. A class of intangible assets is a
grouping of assets of a similar nature and use in an entity’s operations. Examples of separate classes
may include:
 brand names;
 mastheads and publishing titles;
 computer software;
 licenses and franchises;
 copyrights, patents and other industrial property rights, service and
operating rights;
 recipes, formulae, models, designs and prototypes; and
 Intangible assets under development.
Comprehensive Example: Zebra Limited
During the year ended 31 December 2017, following transactions were made by Zebra Limited (ZL):
On 1 April 2017 ZL acquired a licence for operating a TV channel for Rs. 86.3 million out of which Rs.

151
50 million was paid immediately. The balance amount is payable on 1 April 2019. A mega social media
and print media campaign was launched to promote the channel at a cost of Rs. 10 million. The
transmission of the channel started on 1 August 2017.
The license is valid for 5 years but is renewable every five years at a cost of Rs. 35 million. Since the
renewal cost is significant, the management intends to renew the license only once and sell it at the end
of 8 years.
In the absence of any active market, the management has estimated that residual value of the license
would be Rs. 15 million and Rs. 20 million at the end of 5 years and 8 years respectively.
Applicable discount rate is 10% p.a.
These transactions should be recorded in ZL’s books of accounts for the year ended 31 December
2017 as follows:
Since a part of the payment for the license has been deferred beyond normal credit terms so the license
will be initially recognised at cash price equivalent of Rs. 80 million i.e. Rs. 50 million plus Rs. 30
million (i.e. present value of Rs. 36.3 million discounted at 10% for 2 years.)
The advertisement cost of Rs. 10 million incurred on launching of the channel cannot be included in the
cost of the license and will be charged to Profit and loss account.
Since the renewal cost is significant so the useful life of the license will be restricted to the original 5
years only.
The residual value of the license will be assumed to be zero since there is no active market for the
license and there is no commitment by 3rd party to purchase the license at the end of useful life.
The amortization for the year will be Rs. 12 million [(80 – 0) /5 ×9/12] calculated from 1 April 2017
when the license was available for use.
Unwinding of interest expense of Rs. 2.25 million (30 × 10% × 9/12) shall be recorded with increasing
the liability of payable for license with same amount.

Answer 3
In accordance with IAS 38, expenditure on intangible assets must be expensed unless it meets the
recognition criteria for capitalization. These criteria require the demonstration that future benefits will
arise from the incurred costs. It would be difficult to prove that this is the case in relation to training costs
and IAS 38 specifically states that training costs should always be expensed as they are incurred and not
treated as an intangible asset.
Hence the treatment adopted by Fazal is not correct and the costs being carried forward must be expensed
to the year’s profits.

Answer 3
Raisin International
a) Following are the criteria that should be used while recognizing intangible assets from research and
development work.
i. No intangible asset arising from research shall be recognized.
ii. An intangible arising from development shall be recognized if, and only if , an entity can
demonstrate all of the following:
The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or
sale.
Its intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it.
Its ability to use or sell the intangible asset.
How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. Among other things,
the entity can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the
intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset.
The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the
development and to use or sell the intangible asset.
Its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its
development.
b)
1. Since the product met all the criteria for the development of the product, it should be recognized as
an intangible in the statement of financial position (SOFP) of the company. However, RI should
capitalize only the development work as well as trial run (i.e. Rs. 9 plus 0.8 = 9.8 million) as
intangible asset. IAS-38 does not allow capitalization of cost relating to the research work, training
of staff.
Since the product has a useful life of 7 years, the amortization expense amounting to Rs. 0.35
million (Rs.9.8 million / 7 x 3/12) should be recorded in the statement of profit or loss.
2. This purchasing of right to manufacture should be recognized as an intangible in the SOFP
because:
 It is for an established product which would generate future economic benefits.
 Cost of the patent can be measured reliably.
Since there is a finite life, the patent must be amortized over its useful life. The useful life will be
shorter of its actual life (i.e. 10 years) and its legal life (i.e. 5 years. The amortization to be recorded
in SOCI is Rs. 2.83 million (Rs. 17 million / 5 x 10/12).
3. The acquired brand should be recognized as an intangible in the SOFP because acquisition price is
a reliable measure of its value. The amortization to be recorded in SOCI is Rs. 0.12 million (Rs. 2
million + 10 years’ x 7/12).
4. The carrying value of the intangible asset should be increased to Rs. 10 million in the SOFP. Since
there is an indefinite useful life of the intangible assets, it should not be amortized. Instead, RI
should test the intangible asset for impairment by comparing its recoverable amount with its
carrying amount.
Answer 4
Opal Limited
Accounting treatment for research and development expenses
Development cost recognition as intangible asset:
Since the new product met all the criteria for the development of a product, an intangible set should be
recognized at Rs. 13 million (12 + 0.4 + 0.6) as detailed under:
 Cost of Rs. 12 million incurred during the development phase that is 1 July 2014 to 31 December
2014.
 Depreciation of Rs. 0.4 million (4.0 ÷ 5 × 6/12) on laboratory equipment for the development
phaseof six months from 1 July 2014 to 31 December 2014.
 Cost of trial run amounted to Rs. 0.6 million.
Amortization of Intangible Asset:
Since the product has a shelf life of 10 years, the amortization expense amounting to Rs. 0.65 million
(13 ÷ 10 × 6/12) should be charged to profit and loss account for the period of six months i.e. 1 January to
159
30 June 2015.
Laboratory equipment Cost Recognition as Tangible Asset:
Laboratory equipment cost should be capitalized as a tangible asset as it is having useful life of more
than one year and to be depreciated over its useful life of five years.
Research and Other Costs:
(i) IAS-38 does not allow capitalization of costs pertaining to research work. Therefore, these costs
should be charged to profit and loss account in the period in which they incurred.
However, research cost of Rs. 8 million and depreciation for the research phase of Rs. 0.4 million
(4 ÷ 5 × 0.5) pertained to last year, therefore, comparative figures for the year ended 30 June 2014
should be restated and retained earnings be adjusted for these amounts (as per IAS 8).
(ii) Cost for training of staff is also not allowed for capitalization and should be charged to profit
andloss account for the year ended 30 June, 2015.
(iii) Depreciation of Rs. 0.4 million on laboratory Equipments for the period from the commencement of
the commercial production i.e. 1 January to 30 June 2015 should be charged to profit and loss
account for the year ended 30 June, 2015.

ICAP study text
IAS 38: INTANGIBLE ASSETS - INTRODUCTION
Definition of an intangible asset
An asset: A resource controlled by the company as a result of past events and from which future
economic benefits are expected to flow.
Intangible asset: An identifiable, non-monetary asset without physical substance’
Expenditure on an intangible item must satisfy both definitions before it can be considered to be an
asset.
Commentary on the definitions Control
The existence of control is useful in deciding whether an intangible item meets the criteria for treatment
as an asset.
Control means that a company has the power to obtain the future economic benefits flowing from the
underlying resource and also can restrict the access of others to those benefits.
Control would usually arise where there are legal rights, for example legal rights over the use of patents
or copyrights. Ownership of legal rights would indicate control over them. However, legal enforceability
is not a necessary condition for control.
For tangible assets such as property, plant and equipment, the asset physically exists and the company
controls it. However, in the case of an intangible asset, control may be harder to achieve or prove.
In the absence of legal rights to protect, an entity usually has insufficient control over the expected
future economic benefits, for example, a team of skilled staff, or customer relationships and loyalty.
Some companies have tried to capitalise intangibles such as the costs of staff training or customer lists
on the basis that they provide access to future economic benefits. However, these would not be assets as
they are not controlled.

Staff training: Staff training creates skills that could be seen as an asset for the employer. However,
staff could leave their employment at any time, taking with them the skills they have acquired through
training.
Customer lists: Similarly, control is not achieved by the acquisition of a customer list, since most
customers have no obligation to make future purchases. They could take their business elsewhere.

Illustration: Team of skilled staff


A company might have a team of skilled staff and may be able to identify incremental staff skills
leading to future economic benefits from training and expect that the staff will continue to make their
skills available to the company.
However, staff could leave their employment at any time, taking with them the skills they have acquired
through training. Therefore, a company usually has insufficient control over the expected future
economic benefits for these items to meet the definition of an intangible asset.

Illustration: Customer lists


A company may have a portfolio of customers which it expects to continue to trade with the company.
In the absence of legal rights to protect the relationship, the company usually has insufficient control
over the expected economic benefits to meet the definition of an intangible asset.
However, exchange transactions for the same or similar non-contractual customer relationships provide
evidence that the company is able to control those benefits in the absence of such legal rights.
Such exchange transactions also provide evidence that the customer relationship is separable
so, thus meeting the intangible asset definition.
This means that a purchased customer list would usually be capitalised.

Future economic benefits


These may include revenues and/or cost savings.
Evidence of the probability that economic benefits will flow to the company may come from:
 market research;
 feasibility studies; and,
 a business plan showing the technical, financial and other resources needed
and how the company will obtain them.
Need to be identifiable
An intangible asset must also be ‘identifiable’. Intangibles, by their very nature, do not physically exist.
161
It is therefore important that this ‘identifiability test’ is satisfied.
IAS 38 states that to be identifiable an intangible asset:
 must be separable; or
 must arise from contractual or other legal rights.
To be separable, the intangible must be capable of being separated or divided from the company, and
sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged.
Many typical intangibles such as patent rights, copyrights and purchased brands would meet this test,
(although they might fail other recognition criteria for an intangible asset).
Without physical substance
Non-physical form increases the difficulty of identifying the asset.
Certain intangible assets may be contained in or upon an article which has physical substance (e.g.
disc). Whether such assets are treated as tangible or intangible requires. This judgement is based on
which element is the most significant.
Computer software for a computer controlled machine tool that cannot operate without that specific
software is an integral part of the related hardware and it is treated as property, plant and equipment. The
same applies to the operating system of a computer.
Computer software, other than the operating system, is an intangible asset. The same applies to licenses,
patents or motion picture films acquired or internally generated by the reporting company.
Identifiable assets that result from research and development activities are intangible assets because any
physical element of those assets (for example, a prototype) is secondary to the knowledge that is the
primary outcome of those activities.

Example:
Ateeq Ltd acquires new technology that will significantly reduce its energy costs for manufacturing.
Costs incurred include:
Rs
Cost of new technology 1,500,000
Trade discount provided 200,000
Training course for staff in new technology 70,000
Initial testing of new technology 20,000
Losses incurred while other parts of plant shutdown
during testing and training. 30,000
The cost that can be capitalised is:
Cost of a new technology 1,500,000
Less discount (200,000)
Plus initial testing 20,000
1,320,000
The prominent types of intangibles are described below:
Patent
Patent rights entitle their owners, for limited period of time, the monopoly to manufacture or use a certain
product or process.
Trademark
Trademarks are the exclusive rights to proprietary symbols, names, and other unique properties of a
product, such as packaging, style, and even color in some instances.

Copyright
Copyrights represent the legal right on both published and unpublished work of an author to sell, copy,
or perform a piece of literary, musical, or art work. Copyrights protect the works from reproduction or
derivative use without the consent from the copyright owner (usually the author or publisher).
License
Licenses are the contractual rights to use another's property, whether it be a patent, trademark,
copyright, lease or exploration for natural resources.
Franchise
Franchises provide their holders with the right to practice a certain kind of business in a certain

162
geographical location as sanctioned by the franchiser. Fast-food restaurants, for example, often expand
by selling franchise rights.
Goodwill
Goodwill refers to the price or value above the market value of the tangible assets of a company. When a
company is bought, the price paid will often be higher than the market value of its facilities, equipment,
inventory etc. A company develops this intangible asset by establishing a strong business track record,
credit rating, reputation and name.
Recognition criteria for intangible assets
Recognition
An intangible asset is recognised when it:
 complies with the definition of an intangible asset; and,
 meets the recognition criteria set out below.
Recognition criteria
An intangible asset must be recognised if (and only if):

it is probable that future economic benefits specifically attributable to the asset will
flow to the company; and,

the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
The probability of future economic benefits must be assessed using reasonable and supportable
assumptions that represent management’s best estimate of the set of economic conditions that will exist
over the useful life of the asset.
These recognition criteria are broadly the same as those specified in IAS 16 for tangible non-current
assets.
Measurement
An intangible asset must be measure at cost when first recognised.
Means of acquiring intangible assets
A company might obtain control over an intangible resource in a number of ways. Intangible assets
might be:
purchased separately;
acquired in exchange for another asset;
given to a company by way of a government grant.
internally generated; or
acquired in a business combination;
IAS 38 provides extra guidance on how the recognition criteria are to be applied and/or how the asset is
to be measured in each circumstance.

Separate acquisition Recognition guidance


The probability recognition criterion is always satisfied for separately acquired intangible assets.
The price paid to acquire separately an intangible asset normally reflects expectations about the
probability that the future economic benefits embodied in the asset will flow to the company. The effect
of the probability is reflected in the cost of the asset.
Also the cost of a separately acquired intangible asset can usually be measured reliably especially when
the purchase consideration is in the form of cash or other monetary assets.
Granted by government
A government transfers or allocates intangible assets such as airport landing rights, licenses to operate
radio or television stations, import licenses or quotas or rights to access other restricted resources.
An intangible asset may be acquired free of charge, or for nominal consideration, by way of a
government grant.
IAS 20: Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, allows the
intangible asset and the grant to be recorded at fair value initially or at a nominal amount plus any
expenditure that is directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use.

Subsequent expenditure on intangible assets


Subsequent expenditure is only capitalised if it can be measured and attributed to an asset and
enhances the value of the asset. This would rarely be the case:
The nature of intangible assets is such that, in many cases, there are no
163
additions to such an asset or replacements of part of it.
Most subsequent expenditure is likely to maintain the expected future
economic benefits embodied in an existing intangible asset rather than meet the
definition of an intangible asset and the recognition criteria.
Also it is often difficult to attribute subsequent expenditure directly to a
particular intangible asset rather than to the business as a whole.
Maintenance expenditure is expensed out in profit or loss account

DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Disclosure requirements
In the financial statements, disclosures should be made separately for each class of intangible asset.
(Within each class, disclosures must also be made by internally-generated intangibles and other
intangibles, where both are recognised.)
Most of the disclosure requirements are the same as for tangible non-current assets in IAS 16. The only
additional disclosure requirements are set out below.
Whether the useful lives of the assets are finite or indefinite.
If the useful lives are finite, the useful lives or amortization rates used.
If the useful lives are indefinite, the carrying amount of the asset and the
reasons supporting the assessment that the asset has an indefinite useful life.

Example:
An example is shown below of a note to the financial statement with disclosures about intangible assets
Internally- generated Software Goodwill Total
development costs Licenses
Rs. m Rs. m Rs. m Rs. m
Cost (At the start of the year) 290 64 900 1,254
Additions 60 14 - 74
Additions through business - - 20 20
combinations
Disposals (30) (4) - (34)
At the end of the year 320 74 920 1,314

Accumulated amortization
and impairment losses
At the start of the year 140 31 120 291
Amortization expense 25 10 - 35
Impairment losses - - 15 15
Accumulated amortization on 10 2 - 12
disposals
At the end of the year 175 43 135 353

Net carrying amount


At the start of the year 150 33 780 963
At the end of the year 145 31 785 961
The total amount of research and development expenditure written off (as an expense) during the
period must also be disclosed.
Accounting policies
IAS 1 requires the disclosure of accounting policies used that are relevant to an understanding of the
financial statements. Intangible assets might be among the largest numbers in the statement of financial
position and result in significant expense in the statement of profit or loss.
One of the learning outcomes in this area is that you be able to formulate accounting policies for
intangible assets.
There are several areas that are important to explain to users of financial statements.
Amortization policy
The depreciable amount of an intangible asset must be written off over its useful life. Formulating a
policy in this area involves estimating the useful lives of different categories of intangible assets.
Under the guidance in IAS 38 the estimated residual values of an asset would usually be zero and the

164
straight line method would usually be used.
Other explanations:
This is not so much about choosing a policy as explaining situations to users:
Development expenditure: Does the company have any?
Intangible assets acquired in business combinations in the period.
Whether the company has intangible assets assessed as having an indefinite
useful life.
Below is a typical note which covers many of the possible areas of accounting policy for
intangible assets.
Illustration: Accounting policy – Intangible assets
The intangible assets of the group comprise patents, licenses and computer software.
The group accounts for all intangible assets at historical cost less accumulated amortization and
accumulated impairment losses.
Computer software
Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique
software products controlled by the group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria
are met:
it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be
available for use;
management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it;
there is an ability to use or sell the software product;
it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future
economic benefits;
adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development
and to use or sell the software product are available; and
the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development
can be reliably measured.
Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the software product include the software
development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.
Development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred.
Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognised as an expense as
incurred.
Useful lives
Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts to
their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Patents: 25 to 30 years
Licenses 5 to15 years
Computer software 3 years
All intangible assets are estimated as having a zero residual value.

Question 10 (Autumn 2023)


The following information pertains to the intangible assets of Hadero Limited (HL):
I. On 1 May 2022, HL acquired an eight-year license at a cost of Rs. 174 million. HL plans to use the
license for six years. Licenses are traded in an active market. As on 31 December 2022, the fair
value of a new license valid for eight years is Rs. 192 million, while older licenses sell at a fair
value of new license value less Rs. 2 million for each month the license has already been used.
II. On 1 July 2022, HL acquired operation management software at a cost of Rs. 410 million.
HL also incurred a cost of Rs. 20 million for consulting charges to select and evaluate the
appropriate software in alignment with HL’s needs.
HL expects that indefinite life can be achieved if HL incurs future expenditures to enhance its
performance standards by integrating ‘artificial intelligence’ into this software. Without such
expenditures, the software is projected to become technologically obsolete in five years.
After the acquisition of the new software, the existing software would henceforth serve limited purposes.
The existing software was acquired for Rs. 240 million, and as on 31 December 2021, Rs. 126
million had been amortized, based on a useful life of ten years.
On 31 December 2022, HL has estimated the value in use of the existing software tobe Rs. 58 million.
This valuation has been computed using cash flows projected over the revised remaining useful life of
two years.
III. During the year 2022, it was discovered that the entire cost of Rs. 1,050 million incurred on product
development’ has been recorded as intangible asset without considering the following pertinent
facts:
The product development was commenced on 1 August 2021. Up till the launch date of 1 October
2022, the following directly attributable costs were incurred:

Rs. in million
Staff salary 150
Equipment (having useful life of five years) 420
Consumables 160
Consultant fee 320
Total 1,050
The recognition criteria for capitalization of internally generated intangible assets was met on 1 February
2022. All costs have been incurred evenly during the period except the equipment which was purchased
specifically for this product development on 1 September 2021. The useful life of the developed product is
estimated at eight years.
HL uses the revaluation model for the subsequent measurement of its intangible assets, wherever possible,
and accounts for revaluation using the net replacement value method. Depreciation and amortization are
charged using the straight line basis.
Required:
Prepare the notes on ‘Intangible assets’ and ‘Correction of error’ for inclusion in HL’s financial statements for
the year ended 31 December 2022, in accordance with the requirements of IFRSs

Question 11 (Spring 2024)


The following information pertains to the intangible assets of Irresistible Limited (IL):

Defining hardware and software This activity relates to planning phase (which is similar in
specifications nature to research phase) so should be expensed out.
Salaries and general overheads Salaries and general overheads of Rs. 4 million from
January 2021 to April 2021 should be expensed out as
incurred before meeting recognition criteria.
Annual fees for hosting website This is operating expense which is of recurring nature so
should be expensed out.

not be capitalized.
Since this cost was incurred before meeting
Pre-production prototypes 17 of recognition criteria, this should be
charged to P & L.
This is selling cost and therefore should not
Brand building 16
be capitalized.
Since salaries and overheads from January
2020 to March 2020 were incurred before
Salaries and overheads 19.5 meeting of recognition criteria, this should
[6.5(5+1.5)×3]
be charged to P & L.

Answer 8
(i) Cost incurred on pilot plant should be recorded as intangible as it falls under development activities. As
criteria for capitalizing development cost has been met, all cost (i.e. designing, constructing and operating)
incurred on pilot plant should be capitalized as an intangible. Amortization will begin once development
activity endsand commercial production starts over the life of product.
(ii) This exchange has a commercial substance and future cash flows are expected to change as a result of this
exchange. Therefore, the exchange should be recognized at fair value. As fair value of both assets exchanged
is given, the exchange should be recorded at the fair value of equipment given. So, the patent should be
recorded at Rs. 60 million i.e. sum of fair value of equipment given up (Rs. 35 million) and cash
consideration (Rs. 25 million). Further, cost of transferring title of Rs. 2 million should be added to cost
of patent. No amortization will be charged on patent due to indefinite life. However, the patent will be
tested for impairment annually.
(iii) Grant of license by government should be treated as government grant. The license can be recorded as
intangible asset at its fair value of Rs. 50 million. Government grant so recognized should be amortized to
P&L over the life of license. Alternatively, intangible asset can be recorded at a nominal amount. AL
should select an accounting policy inthis regard and apply it consistently.

Answer 9
(i) The license should be recognised as intangible asset at initial cost of Rs. 52 million (50+2). The transfer fee
being directly attributable cost should be included while refundable tax of Rs. 1 million should not be
included in cost.
The useful life of license will be restricted to the original five years as the renewal cost of Rs. 40 million is
significant which should be considered separate intangible at the time of renewal. The residual value of
license at the end of five years as zero because there is no commitment by 3rd party to purchase the
license and there is no active market for the license. The amortization for the year should be Rs. 10.4
million (52/5).
(ii) As per IAS 38, Rs. 5 million (2+3) for planning and content development should be expensed out.
Website is developed primarily for promoting and advertising SL’s products and services. So, SL will

177
not be able to demonstrate how it will generate probablefuture economic benefits.
Rs. 7 million incurred for acquisition of the web servers should be capitalized under property, plant
and equipment and depreciated over useful life.
Since webhosting fees is paid for one year, Rs. 0.42 (1/12×5) million will be expensed out while Rs.
0.58 million will be recorded as prepayment

Practice questions:
Question 1
Habib Limited
On 30 June 2004, Habib Limited (HL) discovered that it had been manufacturing a product illegally since this product
happened to be a patented product for which it did not have the necessary rights. HL immediately shut down its factory and
hired a firm of lawyers to act on its behalf in the acquisition of the necessary rights to manufacture this patented product.
Legal fees of Rs. 50,000 were incurred during July 2004.
The legal process was finalized on 31 July 2004, HL was then required to pay Rs.800 000 to purchase the rights,
including Rs. 80,000 in refundable Taxes.
During the July factory shut-down:
• Overhead costs of Rs. 40,000 were incurred;
• Significant market share was lost with the result that HL’s total sales over August and September was
Rs. 20,000 but its expenses were Rs. 50,000, resulting in a loss of Rs. 30,000.
• To increase market share, HL spent an extra Rs. 25,000 aggressively marketing their product. This
marketing campaign was successful, resulting in sales returning to profitable levels in October.
The accountant wishes to capitalize the cost of the patent at:
Purchase price: Rs.800 000 + Legal fees: Rs. 50,000 + Overheads during the forced shut-down in July: Rs. 40,000 +
Operating loss in Aug & Sept: Rs. 30,000 + Extra marketing required: Rs. 25,000 = Rs. 945,000
Required:
Comment whether or not each of the cost identified can be capitalized.
Answer:
Rs.
Purchase price: The purchase price should be capitalized, but this must exclude refundable 720,000
taxes
(800,000-80,000)
Legal costs: This is a directly attributable cost. Directly attributable costs must be 50,000
capitalized
Overhead costs: This is an incidental cost not necessary to the acquisition of the rights (the -
shut-down was only necessary because HL had been operating illegally)
Operating loss: The operating loss incurred while demand for the product increased to its -
normal level is an example of a cost that was incurred after the rights. were acquired.
(Costs incurred after the Intangible Asset is available for use will not be capitalized)
Advertising campaign: The extra advertising incurred inorder to recover market share is an -
example of a cost that was incurred after the rights were acquired. Furthermore, advertising
costs are listed in IAS 38 as one of the costs that may never be capitalized as an
intangible asset
Total cost 770,000

Question: Saqib Limited began researching and developing an intangible asset. The following is asummary of
the costs that the R&D Department incurred each year:
2011: Rs. 180,000
2012: Rs. 100,000
2013: Rs. 80,000
Additional information:
The costs listed above were incurred evenly throughout each year.
Included in the costs incurred in 2011 are administrative costs of Rs. 60,000 that are not considered tobe directly
attributed to the research and development process. The first two months of the year were dedicated to research.
Then development began from 1 March 2011 but all 6 recognition criteria for capitalization of development
costs were only met on 1 April 2011.
Included in the costs incurred in 2012 are administrative costs of Rs. 20,000 that are considered to be directly
attributed to the research and development process.

179
Included in the costs incurred in 2013 are training costs of Rs. 30,000 that are considered to be directly attributed
to the research and development process: in preparation for the completion of the development process, certain
employees were trained on how to operate the asset.
Required:
Prepare journal entries related to the costs incurred for each of the years ended 31 December 2011 to 2013and briefly
comment on accounting treatment.

Answer:
2011 Debit Credit
Administration Exp.-Not directly attributable 60,000
Research Expense (180,000-60,000)*2/12 20,000
Development Expense (180,000-60,000)*1/12 10,000
Development cost (Asset) (180,000-60,000)*9/12 90,000

2013
Training Expense 30,000
Development cost (Asset) [80,000-30,000] 50,000
Bank 80,000
Comment
Administration costs are capitalized if they are considered directly attributable (see 2012), otherwise
they are expensed (see 2011)
Training costs are always expensed even if they are considered to be directly attributable (see2013).
Research costs are always expensed
Development costs that are expensed due to being incurred before the recognition criteria were met may not be
subsequently capitalized, even if the recognition criteria are subsequently met. They remain expensed.
Question 3
Brooklyn
Brooklyn is a bio-technology company performing research for pharmaceutical companies. The finance director
has contacted Ahmed’s financial consulting company to arrange a meeting to discuss issues relevant to the
preparation of the financial statements for the year to 30th June 2015. Ahmed’s initial telephone conversation has
provided the necessary background information:
On 1st August 2014 Brooklyn began investigating a new bio-process. On 1st September 2015, the new process was
widely supported by the scientific community and the feasibility project was approved. A grant was then obtained
relating to future work. Several pharmaceutical companies have expressed an interest in buying the ‘know how’
when the project completes in June 2016. The nominal ledger account set up for the project shows that the
expenditure incurred between 1st August 2014 and 30th June 2015 was Rs.300,000 per month.
Required: prepare for the meeting with the finance director which explain and justify the accounting treatment of
these issues, with appropriate calculations and identification of matters on which further information is required are as
follows:
Answer:
IAS 38 on intangibles requires that research and development be considered separately:
 research – which must be expensed as incurred (related to August 2014)
 development – which must be capitalised where certain criteria are met.
It must first be clarified how much of the Rs.3 million incurred to date (10 months (from 01.09.2014 to
30.06.2015) at Rs. 300,000) is simply research and how much is development. The development element will only
be capitalised where the IAS 38 criteria are met. The criteria are listed below together with the extent to which they

180
appear to be met:
 The project must be believed to be technically feasible. This appears to be so as the feasibility has been
acknowledged.
 There must be an intention to complete and use/sell the intangible. Completion is scheduled for June 2016
 The entity must be able to use or sell the intangible. Interest has been expressed in purchasing the knowhow
on completion
 It must be considered that the asset will generate probable future benefits. Confirmation is required from
Brooklyn as to the extent of interest shown by the pharmaceutical companies and whether thisis of a sufficient
level to generate orders and to cover the deferred costs.
 Availability of adequate financial and technical resources must exist to complete the project. The financial
position of Brooklyn must be investigated. A grant is being obtained to fund further work and the terms of
the grant, together with any conditions, must be discussed further.
 Able to identify and measure the expenditure incurred. A separate nominal ledger account has been set up to
track the expenditure.
If all of the above criteria are met, then the development element of the Rs.3m incurred to date must becapitalised
as an intangible asset. Amortization will not begin until commercial production commences.

SIC 32
Intangible Assets- Website Costs ISSUE
An entity may incur internal expenditure on the development and operation of its own website for internalor
external access.
(a) A web site designed for external access may be used for various purposes such as to promote and
advertise an entity’s own products and services provide electronic services; and sell products and services.
(b) A website designed for internal access may be used to store company policies and customer details.
Stages of website’s development:
a. Planning
b. Application and Infrastructure Development
c. Graphical Design Development
d. Content Development

[All these stages will be discussed on the next pages]


Once development of a web site has been completed, the Operating stage begins. During this stage,an
entity maintains and enhances the applications, infrastructure, graphical design and content of the web site.

Issues are:
a. whether the web site is an internally generated intangible asset that is subject to the
requirements of IAS 38; and
b. The appropriate accounting treatment of such expenditure.
Exclusion from scope of SIC 32 [para 5 and 6]
SIC 32 does not apply to expenditure on purchasing, developing, and operating hardware (e.g. web
servers, staging servers, production servers and Internet connections) of a web site. Such expenditure is
accounted for under IAS 16.
Additionally, when an entity incurs expenditure on an Internet service provider hosting the entity’s web
site, the expenditure is recognized as an expense.

IAS 38 does not apply to intangible assets held by an entity for sale in the ordinary course of business
(see IAS 2 and IFRS-15) or leases of intangible assets that fall within the scope of IFRS-16.

Consensus [Accounting Treatment] [para 7 and 8]


A web site arising from development shall be recognized as an intangible asset if and only if, in
addition to complying with the general requirements described in IAS 38.21 for recognition and
initial measurement, an entity can satisfy the requirements in IAS 38.57 related to capitalization of
development expenditures. In particular, an entity may be able to satisfy the requirement to demonstrate
how its web site will generate probable future economic benefits in accordance with IAS 38.57(d) when,
for example, the web site is capable of generating revenues, including direct revenues from enabling
orders to be placed. An entity is not able to demonstrate how a web site developed solely or primarily
for promoting and advertising its own products and services will generate probable future economic

Page 1 of 6

182
benefits, and consequently all expenditure on developing such a web site shall be recognized as an expense
when incurred.

Summary: If Website is capable of earning direct revenues from orders to be placed; then recognize as an
intangible asset; however, if website is developed solely for the purpose of advertisement and promotion
of products; all expenditure, items must be recognized as an expense.

Stages in Website Development:[para 9]


a) Planning stage:
The Planning stage is similar in nature to the research phase in IAS 38. Expenditure incurred in this
stage shall be recognized as an expense when it is incurred.

b) Application and Infrastructure development stage, Graphical Design stage and content
development stage:
The Application and Infrastructure Development stage, the Graphical Design stage and the Content
Development stage, to the extent that content is developed for purposes other than to advertise and promote
an entity’s own products and services, are similar in nature to the development phase in IAS 38.
Expenditure incurred in these stages shall be included in the cost of a web site recognized as an
intangible asset. For example, expenditure on purchasing or creating content (other than content that
advertises and promotes an entity’s own products and services) specifically for a web site, or expenditure
to enable use of the content (e.g. a fee for acquiring a license to reproduce) on the web site, shall be included
in the cost of development when this condition is met. However, in accordance with IAS 38, past expenses
are recognized as an expense shall not be recognized as part of cost of an intangible asset at a later date.

c) Content development stage:


Expenditure incurred in the Content Development stage, to the extent that content is developed to
advertise and promote an entity’s own products and services (e.g. digital photographs ofproducts), shall
be recognized as an expense when incurred. For example, when accounting for expenditure on
professional services for taking digital photographs of an entity’s own products and for enhancing their
display, expenditure shall be recognized as an expense as the professional services are received during the
process, not when the digital photographs are displayed on the web site.

d) Operating stage:
The Operating stage begins once development of a web site is complete. Expenditure incurred in thisstage
shall be recognized as an expense when it is incurred
A web site that is recognized as an intangible asset shall be measured after initial recognition by
applying the requirements of IAS 38.72–.87(means either at cost or revaluation model)

CONSOLIDATION
Company “A” purchased more than 50% shares of company “B”
Company “A” is parent/holding Company of company “B”
Company “B” is the subsidiary of company “A”
In this case parent has control over subsidiary’s decision making.
According to IFRS-3 following set of financial statements are to be prepared in this case:
1. Separate financial statements of parent company;
2. Separate financial statements of subsidiary; and
3. Consolidated financial statements by parent assuming as if parent and subsidiary are a
combined entity (means the financial statements of a group presented as if they are single
economic entity).
Illustration: Single economic entity
A Limited (a car manufacturer) buys 100% of B Limited (an automotive part manufacturer).
The 100% ownership gives A Limited complete control over B Limited.
A Limited’s business has changed as a result of buying B Limited.
It was a car manufacturer. Now it is a car manufacturer and a manufacturer of automotive parts.
The two parts of the business are operated by two separate legal entities (A Limited and B Limited).
However, the two parts of the business are controlled by the management of A Limited.
In substance, the two separate legal entities are a single economic entity.
Definitions:
Group: A parent and its subsidiaries
Parent: An entity that controls one or more entities.
Subsidiary: An entity that is controlled by another entity.
In the vast majority of cases obtaining a controlling interest means buying shares which give the
holder more than 50% of the voting rights in the other company.
Illustration: Wholly owned subsidiary
A owns 100% of B’s voting share capital. This 100% holding is described as a controlling interest and
gives A complete control of B. B would be described as a wholly owned subsidiary.

A company does not have to own all of the shares in another company in order to control it.

Illustration: Partly owned subsidiary


A owns 80% of B’s voting share capital. This 80% holding is described as a controlling interest and
gives a complete control of B. B would be described as a partly owned subsidiary. Other parties own
the remaining 20% of the shares. They have an ownership interest in B but do not have control.
This is described as a non-controlling interest.

Non-controlling interest (NCI) is defined by IFRS 10 as: “the equity in a subsidiary not attributable…
to a parent.”

Example (When 100% acquisition by parent company and the date of acquisition of shares and
the date of consolidation are same.)

 P acquired 100% of the equity shares of S on incorporation of S


 The date of acquisition of shares was 31-12-2001
 The cost of investment was Rs. 120,000
 S had net assets of Rs. 120,000 at the date of acquisition.
The Statement of financial position of P and S at 31-12-2001 were as follows:

Required: Consolidated statement of financial position at 31-12-2001
Note:
1. The date at which shares are purchased by parent is called as acquisition date.
2. The date at which consolidated statement of financial position is prepared is called as
consolidation date.
3. It is always assumed that before consolidation all accounting adjustments in the separate
financial statements of parent and subsidiary should have been correctly made and recorded
unless otherwise mentioned.
Important points to remember:
Parent purchased shares in subsidiary means parent has purchased net assets of subsidiary upto its
shareholding.
Therefore, we compare net assets of subsidiary at the date of acquisition with cost of investment and
then cancel them. E.g in the above question
Net asset of S at the date of acquisition (Share capital + Share premium) = 120,000
Cost of investment of shares of parent in S is = 120,000
It means parent has paid exactly the amount equal to its share in the net asset of S. Finally, the
consolidation entry becomes
Share capital 80,000
Share premium 40,000
Investment in S 120,000

Important points to remember:
 Retained earnings can be categorized as pre-acquisition retained earnings and post-acquisition
retained earnings.
Pre-acquisition retained earnings: Which are at the date of acquisition. Profits which are earned
before acquisition (i.e. Rs 80,000)
Post-acquisition retained earnings: Which are earned after the date of acquisition till the statement
of financial position date (i.e Rs 140,000 – Rs 80,000 = Rs 60,000)

191
 If question is silent then assume no change in the share capital and share premium since
acquisition till consolidation date (means statement of financial position date).
 While consolidation we calculate Net Assets (Share Capital + Reserves) of subsidiary at the date
of acquisition and compare it with cost of investment of parent company (and then cancel them).
Net Assets of S at date of acquisition = Share Capital + Share Premium + Retained Earnings
200,000 = 30,000 + 90,000 + 80,000
Consolidation Entry:
Share Capital of S 30,000

Partial Acquisition of Subsidiary by the Parent
Suppose
In Subsidiary

Parent has Others has

80% Shares 20% Shares


(These others are called as non-controlling interest (NCI))
In that case, net assets of subsidiary are distributed between parent’s share and NCI’s share according
to their respective ratio of shareholding.
Before going further, remember that we compare net assets of subsidiary at the date of acquisition
with the cost of investment of the parent in subsidiary (and cancel them).
If the cost of investment is more than the parent’s share in *the fair value of subsidiary’s net assets
at the date of acquisition, then the balance will be Goodwill. It will be shown as non-current asset
in consolidated Statement of financial position.
*If the question is silent then carrying amounts are equal to fair value.
Example
P acquired 80% of S on 1-1-2001 for Rs. 230,000 (cost of investment)

Important points to remember:


 By investing in subsidiary, Parent effectively purchased net assets of subsidiary up to its
shareholding.
 Therefore first step is to identify whether purchase consideration (cost of investment) is more
or less than parent’s share of F.V of net assets of subsidiary at the date of acquisition
 If question is silent then assume that carrying amount of net assets is equal to FV.

If cost of investment is more than parent’s share If cost of investment is less than parent’s share of
of F.V of Net assets of S, then difference is F.V of net Assets of S, then the difference is gain
Goodwill. on bargain purchase.
It is not amortized but tested for impairment It is recognized in consolidated SOCI as another
annually income.
In only consolidated SOFP is prepared, then
added to consolidated retained earnings.
(Question 3 on page No. 17)

 While consolidation, it is important to identify equity at the date of acquisition which will be
used to calculate Goodwill or gain on bargain purchase.
 If parent acquires subsidiary when it is incorporated, then its equity (net assets) will comprise
of share capital (and share premium, if any) at the date of acquisition. There will be no
balance of retained earnings.
 If parent acquires subsidiary after it is incorporated, then its equity will comprise of share
capital, share premium, retained earnings and other reserves (if any) at the date of acquisition.
 If consolidation date is after some time from acquisition date, then pre-acquisition and post-
acquisition equity needs to be separated.
 Equity of subsidiary at acquisition date (Pre-acquisition equity) should be used to calculate
Goodwill or gain on bargain purchase.
 Only post-acquisition changes in equity of subsidiary are included in consolidated retained
earning up to parent’s share in subsidiary
Non-Controlling Interest (NCI):
When a parent acquires less than 100% shares in a subsidiary, the remainder of shares in subsidiary
are held by other shareholders. These are called Non-Controlling Interest (NCI). Figure of NCI is
recognized in the equity of consolidated statement of financial position to show their ownership
interest in net assets of subsidiary.

Fair value Adjustments
Goodwill is the excess of cost of investment over parents share in FV of net assets of subsidiary at the
date of acquisition. The balance sheet of a subsidiary at the date it was acquired may not be a guide to
the FV of net assets. E.g. the market value of a building may be different but it may appear in the
balance sheet at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Therefore’ before calculating goodwill
carrying amount must be same as their FV.
(a) If FV adjustment has not been made in the books of the subsidiary at the date of acquisition, the
following entries should be made at that date:

If revaluation surplus If revaluation loss


Asset xxx Revaluation Loss xxx
Revaluation surplus xxx Asset xxx

Depreciation adjustment: If fair value is more than carrying amount then extra depreciation has to
be charged in the books of S on the amount of difference from the date of acquisition till the date of
consolidated statement of financial position.
Depreciation xxxx
Accumulated depreciation xxxx
If only statement of financial position is to be prepared, then the effect of depreciation has to be
incorporated in retained earnings of subsidiary:
Retained earnings of S xxxx
Accumulated depreciation xxxx

198
Now consider that any change in retained earnings of subsidiary will affect both the consolidated
retained earnings and Non-Controlling Interest;
Therefore, finally the consolidation entry should be made as follows:
Consolidated retained XX
earnings
Non-controlling Interest XX
Accumulated depreciation / Asset X
X

This entry will be made with the amount of incremental depreciation because this amount would not
been charged after the date of acquisition till the reporting date (statement of financial position date).
Reversal entries will be made if there is a revaluation loss (means value of asset has decreased)
Example
P bought 80% of S 2 years ago on 1.1.2000.
At the date of acquisition S’s retained earnings stood at Rs. 600,000 and the fair value of its net assets
were Rs. 1,000,000. This was Rs. 300,000 above the carrying amount of the net assets at this date.
The revaluation was due to an asset that has remaining useful life of 10 years as at the date of
acquisition.
Statement of financial position of P and S as at 31-12-2001 as follows:

earnings. Therefore, there is no question of transfer of surplus to retained earnings in subsequent
years.

(b) If fair value adjustment has already been incorporated in the subsidiary’s books at the date of
acquisition, then pre-acquisition surplus should be taken in the calculation of goodwill or gain on
bargain purchase. Any post acquisition surplus will be distributed just like post acquisition
retained earnings between the parent and non-controlling Interest (Q. 21).
Adjustment of un-realized profits:
Example
First year of operation
P S Combined
Sales 150 220 220
Purchases 100 150 100
Closing Stock - - -
Cost of Sales (100) (150) (100)
Gross Profit 50 70 120
Explanation of the example:
We have to understand two terms:
Unrealized Profits:
A profit which is intergroup/inter company (earned by parent from subsidiary or vice versa).
Realized Profits:
A profit which has been earned from a third party (earned from a party outside the group).
Now explanation of the above example.
 Parent sold goods to its subsidiary for Rs. 150.
 These goods cost parent Rs. 100.
 All goods purchased by subsidiary from parent are sold to third parties for Rs. 220.
 While consolidation, we will take that sale price on which goods are sold to third parties.
Similarly purchase price will be that price on which group purchased from an outsider.
 So, Rs. 120 is the realized profit for the group (which includes profit earned by parent Rs 50
as well as profit earned by subsidiary Rs 70)
 Rs. 50 was unrealized profit when earned by P from S but when the S sold the goods to an
outsider this 50 has also been realized by the group. It means that if all the stock is sold to a
third party then unrealized profit is also converted into a realized profit and therefore there is
no need of any adjustment.
If however suppose S has not yet sold the goods to an outsider then profit of parent amounting to Rs
50 is unrealized with respect of group as a whole. Similarly stock in S’s statement of financial
position is overstated by Rs 50, with respect to group as a whole.
Conclusion:
Group as a whole should not make profit while transacting with each other. It is quite possible that the
parent makes a sale of inventories or other assets to subsidiary or vice versa (at a profit in the separate
financial statements). Therefore, while consolidating, this profit has to be eliminated and realized
profit for the group is only that which is made from third parties (because for consolidation purposes
group companies are treated as a single entity.)
Sale of Goods:

201
The problem of unrealized profit will not arise if whole of stock is sold to outside parties. This
problem arises where some of the stock is still in statement of financial position of either the parent or
the subsidiary.
Sale by parent to subsidiary:
In this case, profit is in the parent’s books and stock is in the subsidiary’s books. So, we need to adjust
consolidated retained earnings and stock of the subsidiary.
Consolidated retained earnings X X
Stock XX
(With the amount of unrealized profit within stock)
[Non-controlling Interest will not be affected by this entry as it has no share in profits of parent].
Sale by subsidiary to parent:
In this case, profit is in subsidiary’s books and stock is in the parent’s books.
Consolidated retained earnings X X
Non-controlling Interest XX
Stock XX
(With the amount of unrealized profit within stock)
(Non-controlling Interest will be affected by this entry as it has share in profits of subsidiary)
Example
P bought 80% of S 2 years ago. At the date of acquisition, retained earnings of S stood at Rs. 16,000.
During the year, S sold goods to P for Rs. 20,000 which gave S a profit of Rs. 8,000.
P still held 40% of these goods at the year end.

Cash in transit / cheque in transit
Suppose S paid cash to H, then S will pass the following entry:
Receivable from H XX
Cash XX
On receipt of cash from S then H will pass the following entry:
Cash XX
Payable to S XX
Scenario-1
Keeping in mind the above two entries, assume if cash is sent by S but not received by H then:
S should have already made the entry i.e:
Receivable from H XX
Cash XX
So, reconciling entry will be made by H at the end of the accounting period as follows:
Cash in transit X X
Payable to S XX
Scenario-2
If cash is returned by H to S, then entry would have been made by H as follows:

Acquisition of subsidiary during an accounting period
Only post acquisition profits are consolidated when a parent acquires a subsidiary during a financial
year, the profits of the subsidiary have to be divided into pre-acquisition and post-acquisition profits.

Before any further discussion PLEASE recall (from page no. 14 & 15):
Group as a whole should not make profit while transacting with each other. It is quite possible that the
parent makes a sale of inventories or other assets to subsidiary or vice versa (at a profit in the separate
financial statements). Therefore, while consolidating, this profit has to be eliminated and realized
profit for the group is only that which is made from third parties (because for consolidation purposes
group companies are treated as a single entity.)
Sale of Goods:
The problem of unrealized profit will not arise if whole of stock is sold to outside parties. This
problem arises where some of the stock is still in statement of financial position of either the parent or
the subsidiary.
Sale by parent to subsidiary:
In this case, profit is in the parent’s books and stock is in the subsidiary’s books. So, we need to adjust
consolidated retained earnings and stock of the subsidiary.
Consolidated retained earnings X X
Stock XX
(With the amount of unrealized profit within stock)
[NCI will not be affected by this entry as it has no share in profits of parent].
Sale by subsidiary to parent:
In this case, profit is in subsidiary’s books and stock is in the parent’s books.
Consolidated retained earnings X X
NCI XX
Stock XX
(With the amount of unrealized profit within stock)
If income statement is also prepared, then instead of the above, profit is reduced by increasing cost
of sales.
Sale by parent to subsidiary:
Cost of sales XX
Stock XX
(No adjustment is required in S’s profit while calculating profit attributable to NCI)
Sale by subsidiary to parent:
Cost of sales X X
Stock XX
(Adjust the profits of S while calculating profit attributable to NCI)

Example: Fair Value and Depreciation Adjustment
P acquired 80% of S 3 years ago from the reporting date.
At the date of acquisition S had a depreciable asset with a fair value of Rs. 120,000 in excess of its
book value. This revaluation adjustment has not been made by the S in its books.
This asset had a useful life of 10 years at the date of acquisition.
Extracts of the income statement for the year to 31-12-2001 are as follows:
P S
Rs. Rs.
Revenue 800,000 420,000
Cost of sales (300,000) (220,000)
Gross Profit 500,000 200,000
Expenses (173,000) (163,000)
Profit before tax 327,000 37,000

Requirement: Consolidated income statement


Analysis of example:
After acquisition 3 years ago, group has to recognize extra depreciation of Rs. 12,000 per year.
Therefore a total depreciation of 12000 x 3 = 36,000 should be recognized.
However, remember that only one year’s depreciation will be shown in income statement because
income statement is for the year. Remaining two years depreciation should be adjusted against
retained earnings in statement of changes in equity (to be discussed later on)

213
Accounting For Goodwill:
Goodwill is carried as non-current asset in consolidated statement of financial position.
It is not depreciated or amortized because generally it has an indefinite useful life. Instead it is
subjected to an annual impairment review. If there is an impairment loss, then following entry is
required if only statement of financial position is prepared:
Consolidated retained earnings XXX
Goodwill XXX
(No effect on NCI if it is not measured at F.V)
If income statement also is prepared, then entry is:
Administrative expenses XXX
Goodwill XXX
(No effect on NCI if it is not measured at F.V)
Summary of discussion
When purchased Goodwill is impaired, the impairment does not affect the individual financial
statements of the parent or the subsidiary. Instead, it will affect only consolidated statement of
financial position and consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
If goodwill is impaired:
1. It is written down in value in the consolidated statement of financial position; and
2. The amount of write-down is charged as an expense in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income normally in administrative expenses.
Example:Impairment of Goodwill
P acquired 80% of S 3 years ago.
Goodwill on acquisition was Rs. 200,000
The annual impairment test on G/W has shown it to have recoverable amount of only Rs. 175,000

Comprehensive Example: Dividend + Goodwill + Sale of Goods + Depreciation Adjustment
P acquired 80% of S 3 years ago. Good will on acquisition was Rs. 80,000. The recoverable amount
of Good will at the year-end was estimated to be Rs. 65,000. This was the first time that the
recoverable amount of Good will had fallen below the amount of initial recognition.
S sells goods to P. The total sales in the year were 100,000. At year end P retains inventory from S
which had cost to S Rs. 30,000 but was in P’s books at Rs. 35,000.
The distribution cost of S includes depreciation of an asset which had been subjected to a fair value
increase of Rs. 100,000 on acquisition. This asset is being written off on a straight line basis over 10
years. Assume that revaluation adjustment has not been made in the books of S.

Sale of Non-Current Asset between the group companies:
Sale by Parent:
Suppose a machine is sold by the parent to subsidiary. It had a WDV of 100and was sold for 150
resulting in gain of RS. 50 to parent. This gain is intergroup which needs to be eliminated.
In this case, profit is in the books of parent and asset is in the books of subsidiary. The adjusting entry
of gain (net of any depreciation effect) if only consolidated statement of financial position is prepared
should be recorded as follows:
CRE xxx
Non Current Asset xxx
If consolidated statement of comprehensive income is also prepared, then entry will be:
Gain on disposal xxx
Non Current Asset xxx
(This entry will not affect Non-controlling Interest)

218
Reversal entries will be passed if there is a loss on disposal.
Sale by subsidiary:
Suppose a machine is sold by the subsidiary to parent. It had a WDV of 100and was sold for 150
resulting in gain of 50 to subsidiary. This gain is intergroup which needs to be eliminated.
In this case, profit is in the books of subsidiary and asset is in the books of parent. The adjusting entry
of gain (net of any depreciation effect) if only consolidated statement of financial position is prepared
should be recorded as follows:

balance in H’s books was Rs 56,000.
v. It is the group’s policy to value Non-controlling interest at acquisition at its proportionate
share of the FV of the subsidiary’s identifiable net assets.
Required
1. Prepare consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial
position and consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year ended 31.03.2001 if
i. Acquisition date is 1-10-2000 (as in question)
ii. Acquisition date is 01-01-2001
iii. Acquisition date is 01-04-2000

222
2. Solve the same question by assuming as if only consolidated statement of financial position is
required (on the basis of acquisition date as per original question).

Important Points to Remember:


(1) If only consolidated SOFP is required then prepare working of analysis of equity upto the end
of the SOFP date; pass necessary accounting entries related to SOFP and then prepare the
consolidated SOFP.
(2) If consolidated SOFP and consolidated SOCI both are is required, then prepare working of
analysis of equity upto the end of the previous period, pass necessary accounting entries related
to income statement and SOFP then prepare income statement and then statement of charges in
equity. After all the working prepare consolidated SOFP.
(3) If only consolidated SOCI is required then prepare working of Analysis of equity upto the
calculation of goodwill or gain if information is available. The purpose is only to identify gain
on bargain purchase which is to be included in consolidated SOCI as an other income. Pass
necessary accounting entries related to income statement, and then prepare the consolidated
income statement.
(4) If consolidated SOCI and consolidated SOCE both are required; then prepare working of
analysis of equity upto the end of the previous period pass necessary accounting entries related
to consolidated SOCI and consolidated SOCE.
Measurement of NCI:
There are two methods of measurement of NCI:
1- Measure NCI at proportionate share of F.V of net assets attributable to NCI at the date of
acquisition. This method is called as Partial Goodwill Method as goodwill is recognized
only of parent.
2- Measure NCI at F.V of NCI at the date of acquisition. It is called as Full Goodwill Method,
as the goodwill of NCI is also recognized.
IFRS gives the entity an option of valuing NCI at its F.V. The concept behind this is that the NCI
in purchasing the shares would also have purchased goodwill in the subsidiary, but the traditional
method which is Partial Goodwill Method does not show goodwill of NCI.
The FV of NCI at the acquisition date:

 Can be given in question; or


 Needs to be calculated from given share price of the subsidiary just before the acquisition
If nothing is mentioned then use partial goodwill method.
Impairment of Goodwill if NCI is at F.V:
If only SOFP is prepared:

If income statement is prepared

The following additional information is available:
1- Shark purchased 70% of Minnow 4 years ago when retained earnings of Minnow were Rs
20,000.
2- Plant of Minnow having book value of Rs 50,000 was revalued to its Fair value of Rs 60,000.
The revaluation was not recorded in the accounts of Minnow. Depreciation is charged at 20%
using straight line method.
3- At 31-10-2000, the inventories of Minnow included Rs 45,000 of goods purchased from
Shark at the rate of 25% mark up.
4- Minnow owes Shark Rs 35,000 for goods purchased (means subsidiary’s payable to parent)
and Shark owes Minnow Rs 15,000(means parent’s payable to subsidiary).
5- It is the group’s policy to value the non-controlling interest at fair value. The market price of
shares of non-controlling shareholders just before the acquisition was Rs.1.5 per share.
Required: Consolidated Statement of financial position as at 31-10-2000.
Acquisition related costs: These are those costs that the parent incurs for the business combination.
For example, legal, accounting, valuation and other financial or consultancy fees.
These costs are not capitalized as part of cost of investment but expensed in the income statement of
the periods in which they are incurred.
A question may incorrectly capitalize the costs. You would have to correct this before consolidation.
Goods in transit:
Suppose parent sold goods to subsidiary for Rs. 100,000
Parent books Subsidiary books
Receivable from S 100, Purchases 100,000
000
Sales 100,000 Payable to P 100,000
If suppose parent sold goods to S but not yet received by S then S will make an entry of goods in
transit as follows:

224
Parent books Subsidiary books
Receivable from S 100, Goods in transit
000 100,000
Sales 100,000 Payable to P 100,000
However, goods are at sale price therefore profit is to be eliminated from the goods in transit. The
entry of profit elimination will only effect the parent’s share in profits. If however goods were sold by
subsidiary then parent as well as NCI’s share of profit will be affected.

04. It is the group’s policy to value the non-controlling interest at fair value.
Note: fair value of NCI can also be calculated by a reverse working if goodwill of NCI is available.
Acquired intangible assets
A question might provide information about an unrecognized asset of the subsidiary.
When a company acquires a subsidiary, it may identify intangible assets of the acquired subsidiary,
which are not included in the subsidiary’s statement of financial position as per IAS-38 because they
may be internally generated. If these assets are separately identifiable and can be measured reliably
then should be included in the consolidated statement of financial position as intangible assets, and
accounted for as such.
This can result in the recognition of assets and liabilities in consolidated financial statements which
are not previously recognized by the subsidiary. This adjustment should be treated as just like
revaluation adjustment.

Q.20 If a company bought 100% of the Coca-Cola Corporation they would be buying a lot of assets but part
(perhaps the largest part) of the purchase consideration would be to buy the Coca Cola brand.
Coca Cola does not recognize its own brand in its own financial statements because companies are not
allowed to recognize internally generated brands as per IAS-38.
However, as far as the company buying the Coca-Cola Corporation is concerned the brand is a
purchased asset. It would be recognized in the consolidated financial statements and would be taken
into account in the goodwill calculation

Example:
P bought 80% of S 2 years ago.
At the date of acquisition S’s retained earnings stood at Rs. 600,000. The fair value of its net assets
was not materially different from the book value except for the fact that it had a brand which was not
recognized in S’s accounts. This had a fair value of 100,000 at this date and an estimated useful life of
20 years.

(5) The current accounts of the two companies were reconciled at the year-end with Skeptik
owing Hillusion Rs 750,000.

Other consolidated related issues:

The requirement to prepare consolidated accounts


IFRS 10 states that, with certain exceptions, a parent must present consolidated financial statements in
which it consolidates its investments in subsidiaries. In other words, a parent must prepare
consolidated financial statements for the group as a whole.

Exception to this rule [IFRS-10: Para 4]


There is an exception to this rule. This allows a parent that is itself a subsidiary not to prepare
consolidated financial statements.
A parent need not present consolidated financial statements if (and only if) all the following
conditions apply:
 The parent itself (X) is a wholly-owned subsidiary, with its own parent (Y).
Alternatively, the parent (X) is a partially-owned subsidiary, with its own parent (Y), and the
other owners of X are prepared to allow it to avoid preparing consolidated financial statements.
 The parent’s debt or equity instruments are not traded in a public market.
 The parent does not file its financial statements with a securities commission for the purpose of
issuing financial instruments in a public market.
 The parent’s own parent, or the ultimate parent company (for example, the parent of the parent’s
parent), does produce consolidated financial statements for public use that comply with IFRS.

All subsidiaries
Consolidated financial statements must include all the subsidiaries of the parent
(IFRS 10). There are no grounds for excluding a subsidiary from consolidation.

Sundry accounting issues


Common reporting date [IFRS-10 Para B92, 93]
IFRS 10 requires that the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries that are used to prepare
the consolidated financial statements should all be prepared with the same reporting date (the same
financial year-end date), unless it is impracticable to do so.
If it is impracticable for a subsidiary to prepare its financial statements with the same reporting date as
its parent, adjustments must be made for the effects of significant transactions or events that occur
between the dates of the subsidiary's and the parent's financial statements. In addition, the reporting
date of the parent and the subsidiary must not differ by more than three months.

Uniform accounting policies [IFRS-10 Para B 87]


Since the consolidated accounts combine the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of all the entities
in the group, it is important that the methods used for recognition and measurement of all these items
should be the same for all the entities in the group.
IFRS 10 therefore states that consolidated financial statements must be prepared using uniform
accounting policies. The policies used to prepare the financial statements in all the entities in the
group must be the same

(W-2) Entries:
1. Inventory Revaluation: Consolidation is requirement of IFRS-3 & 10 which requires that all
the assets and liabilities of subsidiary should be revalued at the date of acquisition.
Inventory 8
Rev. Surplus 8
Inventory was undervalued at the date of acquisition. If it was not mentioned in the question that
inventory has been sold, then we would prepare the above entry only. As the inventory is sold,
further adjustment is required.
When the inventory was sold, this entry would have been passed as follows:
Cost of Sales xxx
Inventory xxx
(At carrying amount)
But remember if inventory was undervalued then the above entry was also undervalued by the same
amount. So to correct the above entry, we will have to prepare an additional entry:
Cost of Sales 8
Inventory 8

254
However as we are only preparing SOFP and cost of sale of subsidiary is to be increased, therefore
the above entry will be passed as follows:
CRE 60% 4.8
NCI 40% 3.2
Inventory 8
Reversal entry will be made if inventory is overvalued at the date of acquisition.

Additional information:
(1) The fair values of the assets and liabilities of Amethyst Ltd at the date of their acquisitions by
Emerald plc were equal to their carrying amounts with the exception of land held by Amethyst
Ltd. It had a carrying amount at acquisition of Rs. 52,000, but a fair value of Rs. 65,000.

282
(2) On 1 October 2010, Amethyst Ltd sold a machine to Emerald plc for Rs. 40,000. The machine
had been purchased by Amethyst Ltd on 1 October 2008 for Rs. 35,000. The total useful life of
the machine was originally assessed as four years and that estimate has never changed.
(3) Included in Emerald plc’s inventories at 30 September 2011 were goods which had been
purchased from Amethyst Ltd for Rs. 46,000. These goods have been sold at a mark-up of
25%. Half of these goods are still in inventory.
(4) At 30 September 2011 Emerald plc’s trade receivables included Rs. 85,000 due from Amethyst
Ltd. However, Amethyst Ltd’s trade payables included only Rs. 60,000 due to Emerald plc.
The difference was due to cash-in-transit.

acquisition of Amethyst Ltd of Rs. 50,000 had been recognised. A further impairment loss of
Rs. 15,000 in respect of goodwill arising on the acquisition of Amethyst Ltd needs to be

Introduction to IFRS 3
Definitions [Appendix A- Defined terms.]
A business combination is a transaction or other event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more
businesses.
A business is an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the
purpose of providing a return in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits directly to
investors or other owners, members or participants.

Objective of IFRS 3 [Para 1]


The objective of IFRS 3 is to improve the relevance, reliability and comparability of information reported about
business combinations and their effects.
It establishes principles and requirements for:
 the recognition and measurement of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non- controlling
interest in the acquiree;
 the recognition and measurement of goodwill (or a gain from a bargain purchase); and
 disclosures that enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of a business combination.

Acquisition method [IFRS 3 Para 5]


 All business combinations are accounted for by the acquisition method which involves: identifying the
acquirer;
 determining the acquisition date;
 recognizing and measuring the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non- controlling
interest in the acquiree; and
 recognizing and measuring goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase

Identifying the acquirer [IFRS 3 Para 6 and 7] and [B 15]


 The acquirer is usually the combining entity whose relative size is significantly greater than that of the
other(s).
 In a business combination affected by transferring cash (other assets) or by incurring liabilities the acquirer
is usually the entity that makes the transfer or incurs the liabilities.
 In a business combinations affected by exchange of equity interests the acquirer is usually the entity that
issues equity.
Also note that the acquirer is usually the entity:
 whose owners have the largest portion of the voting rights in the combined entity;
 whose owners have the ability to determine the composition of the governing body of the combined entity;
 whose (former) management dominates the management of the combined entity;
 that pays a premium (extra over fair value) over the pre-combination fair value of the equity interests of the
others

Determining the acquisition date [IFRS 3 Para 8]


Acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer effectively obtains control of the acquiree.
This generally is the date of transfer of consideration and when net assets are acquired but might be before or
after this date depending on circumstances.

296
Cost [means purchase consideration is the sum of]
IFRS 3 states that the purchase consideration for an acquisition (business combination) is the sum of:

the fair values, at the acquisition date, of the assets transferred by the acquirer, such as cash

the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquire (e.g payable)

equity instruments issued by the acquirer in exchange for control of the acquire (shares)
The purchase consideration may include some deferred consideration (discussed next)

Parent issues shares as part of the purchase consideration:


When the acquirer issues shares as part of the purchase consideration and the shares are quoted equity
instruments (means listed shares), they are normally valued at their market price at the acquisition date for
the purpose of measuring the consideration/acquisition cost.

Costs of acquisition: transaction costs


Transaction costs incurred in making an acquisition, such as the cost of the fees of advisers and lawyers, must
not be included in the cost of the acquisition. These costs must be treated as an expense as incurred and
written off to profit or loss.
The amount of transaction costs associated with an acquisition and written off during the period to profit or loss
must be disclosed in a note to the financial statements.

Example:
Company P acquired 80% of the shares of Company S when the fair value of the net assets of S was Rs.
800,000. Date of acquisition of shares is 01.01.2019.
The purchase price was Rs. 300,000 in cash plus 10,000 new shares in Company P. The new shares were to be
issued 1 month after the date of acquisition.
The market value of P’s shares at the date of acquisition was Rs.40 each. One month later the market value had
increased to Rs.45. The nominal value of P’s shares is Rs.10 each
The transaction costs of making the acquisition comprising of fees of advisors and lawyers were Rs.80,000.
Required: Discuss the relevant accounting treatment.

Answer:
The cost of the investment in the shares of S = Rs. 300,000 + (10,000 × Rs.40) = Rs. 700,000. The share
price at the date of acquisition is used not that at the date of issue.
Investment 700,000
Share capital (10,000 x 10) 100,000
Share premium (10,000 x 30) 300,000
Cash 300,000
The costs of making the acquisition i.e 80,000 should be written off to profit or loss.
The parent company’s share of the net assets of S at the acquisition date was Rs. 640,000 (80% Rs. 800,000).
Purchased goodwill attributable to owners of the parent company is therefore Rs. 60,000 (Rs. 700,000 - Rs.
640,000).
Example: Share exchange
The parent has acquired 12,000 shares in the subsidiary by issuing 5 of its own Rs.1 shares for every 4 shares in
the subsidiary. The market value of the parent company’s shares on the date of acquisitionwas 6.
Cost of the combination:
12,000 x 5/4 = 15,000 shares x 6 90,000

297
Debit Credit
Investment in subsidiary 90,000
Share capital (15,000 x 1) 15,000
Share premium (15,000 x 5) 75,000
If an entity borrows money to finance an acquisition, the costs associated with arranging the borrowing are
treated in accordance with the rules of IFRS 9. These costs are deducted from the value of the debt and
amortized over the term of the debt using the effective rate of interest (i.e. the amortized costmethod).

Purchase Payment

Deferred consideration
Sometimes all or part of the cost of an acquisition is deferred and does not become payable until a later date (e.g
one or two years)
The amount of any deferred consideration (the amount not payable immediately) is discounted to its
present value at the acquisition date.
Example
The parent acquired 75% of the subsidiary’s 80m Rs.1 shares on 1 January 2016. It paid 3.50 pershare and
agreed to pay a further 108m on 1 January 2017.The parent company’s cost of capital is 8%.
In the financial statements for the year to 31 December 2016 the cost of the combination will be:
Rs. m
80m shares x 75% x 3.50 210
Deferred consideration: 108m x (1 + 0.08)-1 100
Total consideration 310
01.01.2016
Investment 310
Cash 210
Payable 100
At 31 December 2016
8m will be charged to finance cost as per IAS 37, being the unwinding of the discount (means time value of
money) on the deferred consideration.
Finance Cost (CRE) 8
Payable 8

Point to remember:
If the consideration includes assets or liabilities of the acquirer carried at amounts different from their
fair values at the acquisition date, these are revalued and any gain or loss is recorded in profit or loss. It
is sort of a disposal of assets against shares so a realized gain or loss.

Ping Co acquired its investment in Pong Co on 1 July 2017 when the retained earnings of Pong Co stood
at 6,000. The agreed consideration was 30,000 cash and a further 10,000 on 1 July 2019, whichis not yet
recorded by Ping Co. Ping Co.’s cost of capital is 7%. Pong Co.’s has an internally-developedbrand name
– ‘Pongo’ – which was valued at 5,000 at the date of acquisition. It has an indefinite useful life. There
have been no changes in the share capital or revaluation surplus of Pong Co since that date.The difference
between the current A/C was due to cash in transit.
There is no impairment of goodwill. It is group policy to value NCI at full fair value. At the acquisition date
the NCI was valued at 9,000.

Contingent consideration (conditional consideration)
Sometimes the final cost of the combination is contingent on (depends on) a future event. For example, an
acquirer could agree to pay an additional amount if the acquired subsidiary’s profits exceed a certain level within
three years of the acquisition.
In a situation such as this, the contingent payment should be included in the cost of the combination (discounted
to present value if the payment will occur up to or more than 12 months in the future).
Accounting treatment:
Under the rules of IFRS 3, contingent consideration must be recognised at fair value at acquisition, even
if it is not probable that the consideration will actually have to be paid.

300
Example: Contingent consideration
Company X purchased 100% of the issued capital of Company S on 1 January 2014.
The purchase agreement required Company X to pay Rs. 300,000 in cash immediately and an additional sum of
Rs. 100,000 on 31 December 2016 if the earnings of Company S increase at an annual rate of 25% per year in
each of the three years following the acquisition. Cost of capital is 10%. How should the contingent payment be
recognised in calculating the goodwill arising at the date of acquisition?
Answer
The contingent consideration should be included in the cost of investment (the purchase consideration) whether
or not it is probable that it will have to be paid. The contingent consideration of Rs. 100,000 should be
measured at fair value.
An appropriate measure of fair value will be the present value of the future payment, discounted at an
appropriate cost of capital. The purchase consideration is therefore:
300,000 + 100,000 (1+.01)-3 = 375,131
If there is still contingent consideration at the end of an accounting period, it might be necessary to re- measure
it (just like deferred consideration)
Example:
Hamid Limited (HL) bought 60% ordinary shares of Rashid Limited (RL) on 1st January 2022.
Additional information:
 HL’s total share capital (before this acquisition) is Rs. 300 million consisted of 30 million shares of Rs. 10
each.
 RL’s total share capital is Rs. 100 million consisted of 10 million shares of Rs. 10 each.
 On 1st January 2022, market value of one share of HL and RL was Rs. 29 and Rs. 21 respectively.
 Appropriate discount rate is 10%
Amounts paid or commitments made for the acquisition:
i) One share in HL was given for every two shares in RL.
ii) Rs. 4 per share was paid immediately to previous owners of RL. Further Rs. 3 per share shall be paid
three years later. Furthermore, Rs. 2 per share shall be paid two year later provided that profits of RL
exceed a certain benchmark. The fair value of this conditional payment has been estimated at Rs. 5.48
million.
iii) Legal advisor was paid Rs. 0.5 million and a consultancy fee of Rs. 1.5 million was paid to financial
consultant.
Required:
a) Calculate Investment in RL at cost in the above business combination.
b) Calculate fair value of NCI at the date of acquisition.
Answer:
Part (a) Investment in RL Rs. million
Share consideration [10m shares x 60% ÷2 x 1 x Rs. 29] 87
Cash consideration [10m shares x 60% x Rs. 4] 24

Re measurement of contingent consideration:


1. If the contingent consideration will be payable in cash, it should be re-measured to fair value atthe end of
the reporting period. Any gain or loss on re-measurement should be taken to profit or loss.
2. If the contingent consideration will take the form of debt instrument (e.g. parent will issue debentures),
the amount of the debt is re-measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period and the change in value
is recognised in profit or loss in the period.
3. If the contingent consideration will take the form of equity instrument, it is not re-measured at the end
of the reporting period (shares issued by company are not re measured by the company that has issued
shares).
A reason for re-measuring the contingent consideration is that the amount payable might depend on the
performance of the subsidiary after its acquisition.
If the profits are higher than expected, the contingent consideration might be re-measured to a higher value,
increasing the liability (the contingent payment) and reducing the reported profit for the period.
Similarly, if the profits are lower than expected, the contingent consideration might be re-measured to a lower
value, reducing the liability (the contingent payment) and increasing the reported profit for the period (Note:
under previous accounting rules before IFRS 3, any increase in the value of contingent consideration was
charged to Goodwill).
A right to return the previous transferred consideration is classified as a receivable if specified conditions are
met.

Acquisition date amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed


Core principle
An acquirer of a business must recognise assets acquired and liabilities assumed at theiracquisition
date fair values.
The acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities might include assets and liabilities not previously recognized
in the acquiree’s financial statements. For example, internally generated brands or customer lists and
contingent liabilities under IAS 37.
Contingent liabilities
Many acquired businesses will contain contingent liabilities such as contingent liabilities for the settlement of
legal disputes or for warranty liabilities. IFRS 3 states that contingent liabilities should be recognised at
acquisition ‘even if it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation.’
This is a departure from the normal rules in IAS 37; i.e. they are not recognized but only disclosed.

The contingent liabilities should be measured at fair value at the acquisition date.

Contingent assets are not recognised.


Restructuring costs and future losses:
An acquirer should not recognise a liability for the cost of restructuring a subsidiary or for any
other costs expected to be incurred as a result of the acquisition (including future losses).
This is because a plan to restructure a subsidiary after an acquisition cannot be a liability at the acquisition date.
For there to be a liability (and for a provision to be recognised) there must have been a past obligating event.
This can only be the case if the subsidiary was already committed to the restructuring before the acquisition.

308
This means that the acquirer cannot recognize a provision for restructuring at the acquisition and then
release (reverse) it to profit or loss in order to increase profits or reduce losses after acquisition.
Issue costs of shares (e.g. prospectus charges)
However, IFRS 3 requires that the cost of issuing equity is treated as a deduction from the proceeds of the equity
issue (IFRS 3: para. 53). Share issue costs will therefore be debited to the share premium account (rather
than to profit or loss).
Definition: Fair value
The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transactionbetween
market participants at the measurement date.

How to measure Fair values of different assets and liabilities:


The net assets of a newly acquired business are subject to a fair valuation exercise as follows:The table below
shows how different types of asset and liability should be valued.

Item Fair value


Marketable investments Current market value

Non-marketable Estimated values that take into consideration features such as:
Investments
(a) price earnings ratios
(b) dividend yield
(c) expected growth rates of comparable investments

Trade and other Present values of the amounts to be received. This is normally
Receivables the same as the book value. Discounting is not usually required
because amounts are expected to be received within a few
months.

Inventories: finished Selling price less the sum of:


Goods
(a) the costs of disposal, and
(b) a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort of the
acquirer based on profit for similar finished goods.

Inventories: work in Selling price of finished goods less the sum of:
Progress
(a) costs to complete,
(b) costs of disposal, and
(c) a reasonable profit for the completing and selling effort
based on profit for similar finished goods.

Inventories: raw materials Current replacement costs (means current purchase price)

Land and buildings Market value

Normally market value. Use depreciated replacement cost calledas net


replacement cost (means cost of new asset then
depreciate) if

309
Plant and equipment market value is not available (e.g., because of the specialized
nature of the plant and equipment or because the items are rarelysold)

Intangible assets Same as plant and equipment

Trade and other payables; Present values of amounts to be disbursed in meeting the liability
long-term debt and other determined at appropriate current interest rates. For current
liabilities. liabilities this is normally the same as book value.

Exceptions to the above principles and guidance.

Question:
Goodwill on consolidation
On 1 September 2017 Tyzo Co acquired 6 million Rs.1 shares in K Co at 4.00 per share. At that dateK
Co produced the following financial statements.

M
Gross replacement cost (means cost of similar new asset) 28.4
Net replacement cost (gross replacement cost less Acc. depreciation) 16.6
2. The inventories of K Co which were shown in the financial statements are raw materials at cost to K Co of
4m. They would have cost 4.2m to replace at 1 September 2017.
3. On 1 September 2017 Tyzo Co took a decision to rationalize the group so as to integrate K Co. The costs of
the rationalization (means restructuring) were estimated to total 3.0m and the process was due to start on 1
March 2018. No provision for these costs has been made in the financial statements given above.
Required:
Compute the goodwill on consolidation of K Co explaining your treatment of the items mentionedabove. You

Notes on treatment
1. Share capital and pre-acquisition profits represent the book value of the net assets of K Co at the date of
acquisition. Adjustments are then required to this book value in order to convert it into fair value of the
net assets at the date of acquisition. For short-term monetary items (means receivables of payables), fair
value is their carrying value on acquisition.
2. IFRS 3 states that the fair value of property, plant and equipment should be determined by market value
or, if information on a market price is not available (as is the case here), then by reference to depreciated
replacement cost. The net replacement cost (i.e. 16.6m) represents the gross replacement cost less
depreciation based on that amount.
3. IFRS 3 also states that raw materials should be valued at replacement cost. In this case that amount is 4.2m.
4. The rationalization costs cannot be reported in pre-acquisition results under IFRS 3 as they are not a
liability of K Co at the acquisition date.

Measurement period [Para 45 of IFRS 3]


Initial accounting for goodwill may be determined on a provisional basis and must be finalized by the end of a
measurement period.
This ends as soon as the acquirer receives the information it was seeking about facts and circumstances
that existed at the acquisition date but must not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
During the measurement period new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the
acquisition date might lead to the adjustment of provisional amounts or recognition of additional assets or
liabilities with a corresponding change to goodwill.
Any adjustment restates the figures as if the accounting for business combination had been completed at
acquisition date.

Goodwill
It is initially measured as a difference between:
 Cost of acquisition plus NCI; and
 FV of net assets of subsidiary at the date of acquisition>
Group as a single economic entity
IFRS contains rules that require the preparation of a special form of financial statements (consolidated financial
statements also known as group accounts) in a parent subsidiary relationship.
The consolidation rules are specified in the following standards:
 IFRS 10: Consolidated financial statements
 IFRS 3: Business combinations.

311
A group of companies: parent and subsidiaries
Definitions: Group, parent and subsidiary [IFRS 10 Appendix A]Group: A parent and its subsidiaries
Parent: An entity that controls one or more entities.
Subsidiary: An entity that is controlled by another entity.

Control
An entity is a subsidiary of another entity if it is controlled by that other entity.

Definition: Control of an investee [IFRS 10 Para 7]


An investor controls an investee if and only if, it has all the followings:
 Power over investee;
 it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
 it has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

Situations where control exists


In practice, the vast majority of cases involve a company achieving control of another through buying a
controlling interest in its shares.
Furthermore, in the vast majority of cases obtaining a controlling interest means buying shares which give the
holder more than 50% of the voting rights in the other company.
Controlling Interest can be obtained either directly and/or indirectly. It is better illustrated with
Example:
Company A purchased 35% shares in Company B on January 01, 20X1. Company A purchased 45% of shares
in Company C on March 01, 20X1. Company C purchased 40% shares in Company B. How much is the holding
of Company A in Company B, combined directly and indirectly?
1. Company A has a direct shareholding of 35% in Company B, which doesn’t make it parent of
Company B.
2. Company A has a direct shareholding of 45% in Company C, which doesn’t make it Parent of
Company C.
3. Company C has a direct shareholding of 40% in Company B, which doesn’t make it Parent of
Company B.
However, Since Company A has direct shareholding of 45% in Company C, which mean, anything owned by
Company C to the extent of 45% is also owned by Company A. Therefore, Company A will have indirect
shareholding of 18% (45% * 40%) in Company B. Cumulative shareholding of Company A in Company B will
be 53% (35% + 18%), after which Parent Subsidiary relationship will be established and Company A will
consolidate Company B in its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Power [IFRS 10 Para 10 to 14]
Power arises from rights. To have power over an investee, an investor must have existing rights that give the
investor the current ability to direct the relevant activities. The rights that may give an investor power can differ
between investees.
Examples of rights that, either individually or in combination, can give an investor power include but are not
limited to: [B 15 of IFRS 10]
 rights in the form of voting rights (or potential voting rights) of an investee;
 rights to appoint, reassign or remove members of an investee’s key management personnel who have the
ability to direct the relevant activities;

312
 rights to appoint or remove another entity that directs the relevant activities;
 rights to direct the investee to enter into, or veto any changes to, transactions for the benefit of the
investor; and
 other rights (such as decision-making rights specified in a management contract) that give the holder
the ability to direct the relevant activities.
Relevant activities [IFRS 10 B 11]
These are activities of the investee that significantly affect the investee’s returns (means e.g. Profits) For many
investees, a range of operating and financing activities significantly affect their returns.

Examples of activities that, depending on the circumstances, can be relevant activities include, but are not
limited to:
 selling and purchasing of goods or services;
 managing financial assets during their life (including upon default);
 selecting, acquiring or disposing of assets;
 researching and developing new products or processes; and
 determining a funding structure or obtaining funding
Returns [IFRS 10 Para 15 to 16]
Variable returns are returns that are not fixed and have the potential to vary as a result of theperformance
of an investee.

313
CONSOLIDATION
Definitions: the concept of group [IFRS 10: Appendix A and IAS 27.4] “Group” means a parent and its
subsidiaries.
“Parent” is an entity that controls one or more entities.
“Subsidiary” is an entity that is controlled by another entity (i.e. parent).
“Consolidated financial statements” are the financial statements of a group in which the assets, liabilities,
equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent and its subsidiaries are presented as those of a single
economic entity.
“Separate financial statements” are those presented by an entity in which the parent entity presents its
investment in subsidiary at cost or in accordance with IFRS 9 (at fair value) or using the equity method.
The individual/separate financial statement of parent and subsidiary are not affected by consolidation specific
adjustments. Consolidation specific adjustments are not part of individual entity double-entry accounting
system. In practice, consolidation is one-time year-end procedure, often performed usingspecialized software.

Requirement [IFRS 10: 4 & 4B and Companies Act, 2017: Section 228]
Companies Act, 2017 requires that there shall be attached to the financial statements of a holding company
having a subsidiary or subsidiaries, at the end of the financial year at which the holding company‘s financial
statements are made out, consolidated financial statements of the group presented as those of a single
enterprise and such consolidated financial statements shall comply with the disclosure requirements of the
relevant Schedule and financial reporting standards notified bythe Commission.
IFRS 10 also requires that an entity that is a parent shall present consolidated financial statements and must
include all the subsidiaries of the parent. However, a parent need not present consolidatedfinancial statements
if it meets all the following conditions:
(a) it is a wholly‑ owned subsidiary or is a partially‑ owned subsidiary of another entity and all its other
owners, including those not otherwise entitled to vote, have been informed about, and do not object to,
the parent not presenting consolidated financial statements;
(b) its debt or equity instruments are not traded in a public market (a domestic or foreign stock exchange or
an over‑ the‑ counter market, including local and regional markets);
(c) it did not file, nor is it in the process of filing, its financial statements with a securities commission or
other regulatory organisation for the purpose of issuing any class of instruments in apublic market; and
(d) its ultimate or any intermediate parent produces financial statements that are available for public use and
comply with IFRSs, in which subsidiaries are consolidated or are measured at fair value through profit or
loss in accordance with this IFRS.
A parent that is an investment entity shall not present consolidated financial statements if it is required to
measure all of its subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss.

Whether an investor is parent? [IFRS 10: 5 to 7, 10, B15, B56 to B58]


An investor, regardless of the nature of its involvement with an entity (the investee), shall determine whether
it is a parent by assessing whether it controls the investee.
An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement
with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over theinvestee.
An investor controls an investee if and only if the investor has all the following:
(a) Power over the investee: this is when the investor has existing rights that give it the currentability to
direct the relevant activities, i.e. the activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns.
(b) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee: variable returns
are returns that are not fixed and have the potential to vary as a result of the performance of an investee.
Variable returns can be positive and/or negative. Examples of returns include dividends, capital gain from
investment in investee, remuneration from providing services to investee, residual interest in the assets of
investee on liquidation, tax benefits, economies of scale, cost savings and gaining access to proprietary
knowledge, etc.
(c) The ability to use its power to affect the amount of returns: it shall determine whether it is a

314
principal or an agent.
In practice, the vast majority of cases involve a company achieving control of another through buying a
controlling interest in its shares.
Furthermore, in the vast majority of cases obtaining a controlling interest means buying shares which give the
holder more than 50% of the voting rights in the other company.
► Example
A owns 100% of B’s voting share capital.
A
This 100% holding is described as a controlling interest and gives
100% A complete control of B.

B would be described as a wholly owned subsidiary.


B
A company does not have to own all of the shares in another company in order to control it.
► Example
A owns 80% of B’s voting share capital.
A This 80% holding is described as a controlling interest and gives

80% A complete control of B.

B B would be described as a partly owned subsidiary.


Other parties own the remaining 20% of the shares. They have an
ownership interest in B but do not have control. This is described
as a non-controlling interest.
Non-controlling interest (NCI) is defined by IFRS 10 as: “the
equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a
parent.”
Control is assumed to exist when the parent owns directly, or indirectly through other subsidiaries,
more than half of the voting power of the entity, unless in exceptional circumstances it can be clearly
demonstrated that such control does not exist.
► Example
A

60% A owns a controlling interest in B. B owns a controlling interest


in C.
B
Therefore, A controls C indirectly through its ownership of B. C
70% is described as being a sub-subsidiary of A.
Consolidation of sub-subsidiaries is not part of this syllabus
C

In certain circumstances, a company might control another company even if it owns shares which give it
less than half of the voting rights. Such a company is said to have de facto control over the other
company. (De facto is a Latin phrase which translates as of fact. It is used to mean in reality or to refer to
a position held in fact if not by legal right

315
► Example
A owns 45% of B’s voting share capital.
The other shares are held by a large number of unrelated investors none of whom individually own more than
1% of B.
A This 45% holding probably gives A complete control of B.

45% It would be unlikely that a sufficient number of the other


shareholders would vote together to stop A directing the company
B B as it wishes.

A company might control another company even if it owns shares which give it less than half of the voting
rights because it has an agreement with other shareholders which allow it to exercise control.
► Example
A owns 45% of B’s voting share capital.
A further 10% is held by A’s bank who have agreed to use their vote as directed by A.
A

45% This 45% holding together with its power to use the votes
attached to the bank’s shares gives A complete control of B.
B

It is important to understand that control is different from ownership. A 60% ownership means 60% share in
profit and net assets of investee but control either exists or does not exist, it is not expressedin percentage.
Acquisition method of consolidation [IFRS 3: 4, 5 & Appendix A]
IFRS 3 defines a “business combination” as a transaction or other event in which an acquirer obtainscontrol of
one or more businesses. It also requires that an entity shall account for each business combination by applying
the acquisition method.
Applying the acquisition method requires:
• identifying the acquirer;
• determining the acquisition date (the date on which acquirer obtains the control);
• recognising and measuring the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any
non‑controlling interest in the acquiree; and
• recognising and measuring goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

Uniform accounting policies [IFRS 10: B87]


If a member of the group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial
statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to that
group member’s financial statements in preparing the consolidated financial statements to ensure conformity
with the group’s accounting policies.

Common reporting date [IFRS 10: B92 & B93]


The financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries used in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements shall have the same reporting date (period-end).
When period-end is different, the subsidiary prepares, for consolidation purposes, additional financial
information as of the same date as the financial statements of the parent to enable the consolidation,unless it is
impracticable to do so.
If it is impracticable to do so, subsidiary’s most recent financial statements may be used with adjustments of
significant transactions and events.
In any case, the difference between reporting dates shall be no more than three months, and the length of the
reporting periods and any difference between the dates of the financial statements shall be the same from
period to period.

316
Classification Principle [IFRS 3: 15][add on page 302 of Vol 1]
At the acquisition date, the acquirer shall classify or designate the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed as necessary to apply other IFRSs subsequently.
► Example
S Limited owns a property that has been rented to its subsidiary M Limited which uses it as its administrative
office.
Required: Briefly discuss how the above property should be classified by S Limited in its separate financial
statements and in its consolidated financial statements.
Answer:
In separate financial statements, the property will be classified as investment property in accordance with IAS
40 as it has been rented to another entity. However, in consolidated financial statements, the property will be
classified as property, plant and equipment in accordance with IAS 16 since group is to be considered as
single economic unit and the property in that context is owner occupied property.

IAS-28: [Accounting for Associates]
Associate: An entity over which an investor has a significant influence (rather than control; means not a
subsidiary)
Significant influence: is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of
investee but not control of those policies.
Point to remember:
If an entity holds 20% to 50% of the equity of another entity (investee), it is presumed that entity has
significant influence over investee (means an associate).
Separate Financial Statements: [ Para 10 of IAS-27]
An investor shall account for the investment in an associate in its separate financial statements
i) At cost (it means record the investment at cost and then only account for the dividend income
from associate in the statement of comprehensive income); or
ii) In accordance with IFRS 9; or
iii) Using equity method as per IAS-28

Consolidated Financial statements: [means investor has investment in one or more subsidiaries and
also investment in associates].
IAS-28 requires investment in associates to be accounted for in consolidated financial statements
using equity method.

Equity Method: It is a method of accounting whereby investment is initially recorded at cost and
adjusted thereafter for post-acquisition changes in the investor’s share of net assets of the investee
(means associate).
The profit or loss of the investor includes the investor’s share of profit or loss of the investee. In
addition, the other comprehensive income of the investor includes the investor’s share of other
comprehensive income of the investee.

Example 1.P acquired 40% of the equity of A on 1 January 2018 for 45,000. At the date of acquisition,
the share capital and retained earnings of A were 1,000 and 99,000 respectively.
The trial balances of P and A as on 31.12.2019 are as follows:
Trial Balance P A
Share capital 1,000,000 1,000
Retained earnings (31 Dec 2018) 9,000,000 120,000
Profit after tax 800,000 25,000
Land and buildings 10,555,000 145,000
Investment in A 45,000 0
Required: Explain the accounting treatment.
Solution to example:
Workings: Analysis of Equity
At Acquisition:1.1.2018 P (40%) No NCI
Share capital 1,000
Retained earnings 99,000
100,000 40,000 0
Cost of investment 45,000
Difference is Goodwill XXX
(no separate disclosure required)
Since Acq. Till the end of previous period
R.E. (120,000 -99,000) 21,000 8,400 0
Current period 25,000 10,000 0
(from income statement)
 P’s 40% share of the associate’s net assets on date of acquisition is 40,000 [(1,000+99,000) x 40%]
and therefore an excess of 5,000 was paid.
 This is referred to as goodwill but is not separately disclosed.
 This goodwill would have been included as part of the carrying amount of the investment in the
associate when the full amount paid of 45,000 was debited to the investment asset account.
 Since the goodwill does not require separate disclosure, no further journal entry to account for the
excess of 5,000 is required.
Accounting entries to record the share of profits:
Up to previous period Debit Credit
Investment 8,400
Opening CRE 8,400
Current period
Investment 10,000
Share of profit 10,000
Therefore, the investment in Associate will appear in consolidated statement of financial position at:

355
(45,000 + 8,400 + 10,000) =63,400
Example 2.P acquired 40% of the equity of A on 1 January 2018 for 35,000. At the date of acquisition,
the share capital and retained earnings of A were 1,000 and 99,000 respectively.
The trial balances of P and A as on 31.12.2019 are as follows:
Trial Balance P A
Share capital 1,000,000 1,000
Retained earnings (31 Dec 2018) 9,000,000 120,000
Profit after tax 800,000 25,000
Land and buildings 10,565,000 145,000
Investment in A 35,000 0
Required: Explain the accounting
treatment. Solution to example
Workings: Analysis of Equity
At Acquisition:1.1.2018 P (40%) No NCI
Share capital 1,000
Retained earnings 99,000
100,000 40,000 0
Cost of investment 35,000
Difference is Gain (to be accounted for) 5,000
Since Acq. Till the end of previous period
R.E. (120,000 -99,000) 21,000 8,400
Current period (from income statement) 25,000 10,000
 In this case, P has debited the investment with the cost of 35,000.
 P’s 40% share of the associate’s net assets on date of acquisition is 40,000 and therefore 5,000 less
was paid, means a gain on acquisition.
 In terms of IAS 28.32, the gain must be accounted for as part of the profit from the associate.
 Since this gain is not recorded in the separate financial statements, so we would need to debit the
investment by 5,000 and credit this gain to the profit from associate account in the equity- accounted
consolidated financial statements (but as this gain is in previous periods, therefore rather than
recording in the profit or loss of this year, record in opening CRE).
Accounts Debit Credit Comment
Investment in associate 5,000 The gain of 5,000 is recognized as part of the share
Profit from associate of the associate’s profit. The investment is increased
5,000
(opening CRE) to show the value of the investor’s share of the net
assets acquired (35,000 + 5,000 = 40,000)
Gain on bargain purchase is recognized in profit or loss of the current period, unless arise in prior
periods.
After that all other things remain same:
Accounting entries to record the share of profits:
Up to previous period Debit Credit
Investment 8,400
Opening CRE 8,400
Current period
Investment 10,000
Share of profit 10,000

356
Therefore, the investment in Associate will appear in consolidated statement of financial position at:
(35,000 + 5,000 + 8,400 + 10,000) = 58,400
Summary of equity method:
The following will be relevant when applying the equity method:
1) Only the investor’s proportionate share is accounted for and thus non-controlling interest is not
recognized.
2) Only a single line item, the investment in associate is reflected in the statement of financial position.
Therefore, unlike consolidated statement of financial position the assets and liabilities of associate are
not added. Similarly, a single line item i.e. share of profit from associate is reflected in statement of
comprehensive income. Therefore, unlike consolidated statement of comprehensive income, income
and expenses of associate are not added.
Presentation of Share of Profit of associate in income statement:
The share of profit of associate is presented in consolidated statement of comprehensive Income
immediately before calculating the group profit before tax.
3) Any goodwill arising at acquisition (i.e. where the consideration given is more than the investor’s
share of fair value of associate’s net assets at the date of acquisition) is simply included as part of
carrying amount of investment in associate and is not disclosed separately. There is no concept of
amortization of this goodwill.
4) A gain made on bargain purchase (i.e. where the consideration given is less than the investor’s
share of fair value of associate’s net assets at the date of acquisition) must be recognized in profit or
loss as part of the investor’s share of profit from associate.
Accounting for goodwill or gain on bargain purchase
If the amount paid by investor was more than the share of associate’s net assets (i-e goodwill is assumed
to have been purchased) the goodwill will be automatically recognized as an asset when debiting the
Investment with the total amount paid. This goodwill is not required to be separately disclosed and
therefore no further entry is required.
Conversely, if the amount paid by the investor was less than its share of the associate’s net assets, the gain
on bargain purchase must be included in share of profit from associate by making an entry.

Dividend distributions by Associate:


Dividend distributions that are declared by the associate must be set-off against the carrying amount of the
investment in associate in the equity-accounted financial statements and should not be reflected in
statement of comprehensive income.
Example:
P. Co a company with subsidiaries (means P. Co will prepare consolidated financial statements), acquires
25,000 of the 100,000 ordinary shares in Almond Co. for Rs. 60,000 on 1-1-2018 when net assets of
Almond were 150,000. In the year to 31-12-2018, Almond Co. earns profit after tax of 24,000 from which
it declared a dividend of 6,000 at 31-12-2018.
Required:

361
How will Almond Co.’s results be accounted for in separate and consolidated financial statements of P.
Co for the year ended 31-12-2018?
Answer:
In the separate financial statements of P. Co:
Investment in Almond Co. 60,000
Cash/Bank 60,000
The only other entry in P. Co.’s separate income statement will be to record dividend received as other
income, at the end of 31-12-2018.
Dividend receivable 1,500
Dividend Income 1,500 (6,000 X 25%)
In the Consolidated financial statements of P. Co., P. Co. will use equity method to account for the
investment in Almond Co.
Workings: Analysis of Equity
At Acquisition: P (25%) No NCI
Value of net assets 150,000 37,500 0
Cost of investment 60,000
Difference is Goodwill Xxx
(no separate disclosure required)
Since Acq. Till the end of previous
year
R.E. 0 0 0
Current period 24,000 6,000 0
(from income statement)
Consolidated profit after tax will include the group’s share of Almond Co.’s profit after tax i-e
24,000 x 25% = 6,000. The double entry will be:
Investment in Associate 6,000
Share of Profit of associate 6,000
In addition, as the P. Co. has already taken credit of dividend income in its separate financial statements,
therefore another adjustment is required i.e.:
Dividend Income 1,500 Investment in Associate 1,500
The “Investment in associates” is then stated at (60,000 + 6,000 – 1,500) = 64,500 in consolidated
statement of financial position.
Example: [difference between Cost method and Equity method]
Kashif Limited (KL) acquired 30% shares in Hasan Limited (HL) on January 01, 201x. Both company’s
year-end is December 31.
Following are the details of events during the year:
1) KL purchased 30% shares at a cost of Rs. 30 million.
2) HL Limited’s profit for the year 201x is Rs. 10 million.

Inter group Transactions: (Also termed as “Upstream” and “Downstream” transactions)
==> “Upstream” Transactions are, for example, sale of assets from an associate to investor.
==> “Downstream” Transactions for example, sale of assets from investor to associate.
Transaction between an associate and its investor would include unrealized gains and losses. Only the
investor’s share in profit and loss of such transactions must thus be eliminated in equity-accounted
financial statements. There is no such adjustment with regard to sale of inventory or property, plant and
equipment if company opt other than equity method. [Please remember unrealized gains and losses
between parent and subsidiary were eliminated in full on consolidation]
Example: Inter-group transactions
A. P is a 40% shareholder of A. P sells inventory to A:
 During the year, P sold inventory to A for 3,000.
 The inventory cost P 2,500 and was sold at a 20% mark-up (i.e. for 3,000).
 None of the inventory had been sold by A by year-end.
Required:
Prepare the necessary journal entries in equity accounted consolidated financial statements.
B. Use the same information as above, except that:
 Only 80% of the inventory that was sold to A was on hand at year-end.
Required:
Prepare the necessary journal entries in equity accounted consolidated financial statements.
C. P is a 40% shareholder of A. P buys inventory from A:
 During the year, P bought inventory from A for 3,000.
 This inventory had cost A 2,500.
 80% of this inventory was on hand at year-end.
Required:
Prepare the necessary journal entries in equity accounted consolidated financial statements.
D. P is a 40% shareholder of A. A sold a plant (property, plant and equipment) to P:
 At the beginning of the current year with a carrying amount of 20,000 to P for 25,000.
 On the date of sale, the asset had a remaining useful life of five years.

363
Required:
Prepare the necessary journal entries in equity accounted consolidated financial statements.
E. Discuss how the journals in example D would alter if P had sold the asset to A (i.e. as opposed to

Example:
Entity P acquired 40% of the equity shares of Entity A on 01.01.2016. The cost of the investment was Rs.
205,000. Assume no gain at acquisition.
As at 31 December 2016 Entity A had made profits of Rs. 275,000 since the date of acquisition (means

365
post acquisition).
In the year to 31 December 2016, Entity P sold goods to Entity A at a sales price of Rs. 200,000 at a mark-
up of 100% on cost.
Goods amounted to Rs. 30,000 were still held as inventory by Entity A at the year-end.
Required: prepare necessary journal entries.

Solution:
The necessary adjustments for unrealized profit, and the double entries are as follows:
Unrealized profit adjustment Rs.
Unrealized profit (30,000/200 x 100) 15,000
Entity P’s share (40%) 6,000
Journal entries:
Dr (Rs.) Cr (Rs.)
Investment in associate 110,000
Share of profits 110,000
Being: Share of post-acquisition profits (40% of Rs. 275,000)
Cost of sales 6,000
Investment in associate 6,000
Being: Elimination of share of unrealized profit
If only statement of financial position is required to be prepared:
CRE 6,000
Investment in associate 6,000
Investment in associate Rs.
Cost of the investment 205,000
Entity P’s share of post-acquisition profits of Entity A 110,000
Minus: Entity P’s share of unrealized profit in inventory (6,000)
309,000
Example:
Entity P acquired 30% of the equity shares of Entity A on 01.01. 2016.at a cost of Rs. 275,000.
Assume no gain at acquisition.
In the year to 31 December 2016, the reported profits after tax of Entity A were Rs. 100,000.
In the year to 31 December 2016, Entity P sold goods to Entity A for Rs. 180,000 at a mark- up of 20% on
cost.
Goods amounted to Rs. 60,000 were still held as inventory by Entity A at the year-end.
Required:
1. Calculate the unrealized profit adjustment and state the double entry.
2. Calculate the investment in associate balance that would be included in Entity P’s statement of
financial position as at 31 December 2016.
Solution
a) Unrealized profit adjustment Rs.
Unrealized profit (60,000/120 x 20) 10,000
Entity P’s share (30%) 3,000

Journal entry Dr (Rs.) Cr (Rs.)

366
Cost of sales 3,000
Investment in associate 3,000
Being: Elimination of share of unrealized profit

If only statement of financial position is required to be prepared:


CRE 3,000
Investment in associate 3,000
b) Investment in associate (see above for adjustments) Rs.
Cost of the investment 275,000
Entity P’s share of post-acquisition profits of Entity A (30% of Rs.100,000) 30,000
Minus: Entity P’s share of unrealized profit in inventory (3,000)
302,000
Impairment losses: In case there is an impairment loss against investment in associates; the accounting
entry would be:
Impairment loss XXX
Investment in Associate XXX
If only consolidated statement of financial position is prepared, then impairment loss is deducted from
CRE. If income statement is to be prepared, then include in admin expenses. Definitely of course, NCI will
not be affected as this impairment loss belongs to investor in associate (means parent with respect to
consolidated financial statements)
Finally, in Statement of Financial Position, calculation of equity method can be summarized as
follows:
1) Cost
2) Plus: Gain on acquisition (if any)
3) Plus/(Minus): investor’s share of profit/(loss) of associate since Acquisition till statement of
financial position date (means Post-Acq)
4) Plus(Minus): Investor share of OCI in associate since Acquisition till statement of financial
position date (means Post-Acq) [will be discussed in questions]
5) Minus: dividend income
6) Minus: Impairment loss (if any) [will be discussed in questions]

Finally, in Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, calculation of equity
method can be summarized as follows:
There should be separate lines for:
 Share of profit of associate in profit and loss section of SOCI immediately before profit
before tax.
 Share of other comprehensive income of associate in OCI section of SOCI [will be discussed
in questions].
Inter – Company balances:
Inter-company balances: between the members of a group (parent and subsidiaries) are cancelled out
on consolidation.
Intercompany balances between the members of a group (parent and subsidiaries) and associates are not
cancelled out (because Associate’s balances are not included in Consolidated SOFP). An associate is not
a member of the group but is rather an investment made by the group. This means that it is entirely
appropriate that consolidated financial statements show amounts owed by the external party as an asset

367
and amount owed to the external party as a liability. (The same rule apply in case if a parent has an
associate and no subsidiaries).
(Para 6) Significant Influence: (for reading only)
IAS-28 sates that associates “20% or more” rule is a general guideline; however, the existence of
significant influence is usually evidenced in one or more of the following ways:
 Representation on board of directors.
 Participation in policy – making process, including representation in decisions about dividends.
 Material transactions between entities;
 An interchange of management personnel between the two entities: or
 Providing of essential technical information by one entity to the other.

Accounting for associates


Example: Recognition
Entity A has following shareholders with their Shareholding percentages:
Entity Percentage of Shareholding
Entity B 1%
Entity C 99%
Entity A is a group Company of Entity B & C and all Board of directors of Entity A are on the Board of
Directors of Entity B and C. Entity B and C have other directors as well.
How should Entity B accounts for Investment in Entity A?
Answer: Although Entity B has only 1% shareholding of Entity A, but Entity B has significant influence
on the decision making of Entity A as all directors of Entity A are also the directors of Entity B,
therefore, Entity B shall account for Equity Method of Accounting for Entity A and for all purposes,
Entity A is Entity B’s Associated Company.
Exemptions from applying the equity method. [para 17]
An entity is exempt from applying the equity method if the investment meets one of the following
conditions:
The entity is a parent that is exempt from preparing consolidated financial statements under IFRS 10
Consolidated Financial Statements or if all of the following four conditions are met (in which case the
entity need not apply the equity method):
1. the entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary, or is a partially-owned subsidiary of another entity and
its other owners, including those not otherwise entitled to vote, have been informed about, and do
not object to, the investor not applying the equity method;
2. the investor or joint venture’s debt or equity instruments are not traded in a public market;
3. the entity did not file, nor is it in the process of filing, its financial statements with a securities
commission or other regulatory organisation for the purpose of issuing any class of instruments in a
public market; and
4. the ultimate or any intermediate parent of the entity produces financial statements available for
public use that comply with IFRSs, in which subsidiaries are consolidated or are measured at fair
value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 10.

Para 18 and Para 19


Investment in Associate held by Venture Capital Organizations etc. (Para 18)
When an investment in an associate is held by an entity that is:
a) A venture capital organization, or
b) A mutual fund, unit trust and similar entities including investment - linked insurance funds, the entity

368
may elect to measure the investment at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS-9.
An entity shall make this election separately for each associate at initial recognition of the associate.
Entity has an investment in an associate, a portion of which is held indirectly through:
 Venture capital organization, or
 A mutual fund, until trust and similar entities including investment – linked insurance funds The
entity may elect to measure that portion of the investment in the associate at fair value through profit or
loss in accordance with IFRS-9 regardless of whether it has significant influence over that portion of
investment.
 If the entity makes that election, the entity shall apply the equity method to any remaining
portion of investment in an associate.

Financial instruments [IFRS 9]
Basic discussion of Financial Instruments
Financial instrument is a contract between two parties in which:

 One entity has a financial asset in its books; and


 The other entity has financial liability or equity instrument in its books.
As a basic discussion financial asset simply means a right to receive money or an equity instrument of another
entity;
Similarly, a financial liability means an obligation to pay money.
For example:
1. Company X sells goods to company Y on credit for Rs. 200,000.
Company X Company Y
Debtor-Y 200,000 Purchase 200,000
Sales 200,000 Creditor-X 200,000
There is a receivable in the books of company X. There is a payable in the books of company. (Payable
(Receivable means a right to receive; in other words, means an obligation to pay;
Receivable is an example of a financial asset) In other words, Payable is an example of financial
liability)

2. Company XYZ deposited money in MCB bank Rs. 300,000


Company XYZ MCB Bank
MCB Bank 300,000 Cash 300,000
Cash 300,000 XYZ a/c 300,000
Company has a right to receive money (a financial MCB bank has an obligation to pay money (a
asset) from MCB financial liability) on demand by depositor (i.e
Company XYZ).

Similarly, there are other examples of financial instruments around us but this word of financial instruments is new
for us. E.g. bank loans, redeemable preference shares, debentures, interest receivable/interest payable.
3. Company ABC issued debenture certificates of 500,000
Company ABC Debenture Holder
Cash 500,000 Investment in debentures (F.A) 500,000 Cash
Debenture (Financial liability) 500,000 (Obligation 500,000
to repay amount means a financial liability) (Right to receive back amount means a financial
asset)

4. Company X issues 100,000 ordinary shares of Rs. 10 each at Rs. 12 each to company Y for 1,200,000.
Company X Company Y
Cash 1,200,000 Investment in shares 1,200,000
Share Capital 1,000,000 Cash 1,200,000
Share premium 200,000 (Company Y has Financial asset in the form of
(Company X has an equity instrument in its books) shares of another Company)

383
Ordinary vs. preference shares
Companies issue two main types of shares:
 Ordinary Shares
 Preference Shares
 Irredeemable Preference shares
 Redeemable Preference shares
Comparison of ordinary shares and irredeemable preference shares
Ordinary shares Irredeemable Preference shares

c. Warranty obligations
d. Bank loans
e. Current tax payable
Solution
a. Yes, the entity is contractually obligated to settle the creditor with cash.
b. Yes, the entity must, in the future, redeem the preference shares with cash.
c. If the entity has to pay the warranty obligation in cash, it is a financial liability. If the entity merely has
to repair the goods, then since there is no obligation to pay cash, it is not a financial liability.
d. Yes, there is a contractual obligation to repay the bank for the amount of cash received plus interest on
respective due date.
e. No, a contractual obligation does not exist, only a statutory obligation exists.

385
Accounting for Financial Assets
There are two types of Financial Assets;
1. Financial Asset in the form of a Debt instrument [means a contract in which debentures or
bonds are purchased]
2. Financial Asset in the form of an Equity instrument [means a contract in which shares are
purchased]
1. Financial Asset in the form of a Debt instrument
Example:
Suppose Honda limited invested in 100 debentures of company X @ 10 each on 1-1-2015; it carries interest
@15% receivable in arrears. It has a five-year term. These debentures are listed and therefore tradable in
market.
Total investment 100 x 10 = 1,000
1-1-2015: Investment in debentures (F.A) 1,000
Bank 1,000
31-12-2015: Let’s assume on reporting date market price per debenture is 15.
Now question is whether the financial asset is to appear in statement of financial position at cost of 1,000
(means cost basis measurement) or at its fair value which is 100 x 15 = 1,500 (means fair value basis
measurement)
Let’s discuss what will be implication of choosing the above two alternates.
If the Fair value basis is used then our statement of financial position will reflect changed figure of this
investment from year to year (because of increase/decrease in prices as a result of market factors), until
disposed of.
If cost basis is used, then figures in statement of financial position will be 1,000 (cost) from year to year until
disposed of.
BASIC PRINCIPAL OF MEASUREMENT:
The IFRS-9 recommends the use of fair value unless conditions are met for measurement at cost.
Conditions for cost basis of measurement:
i) Business model of the entity is to hold the investment to recover contractual cash flows arising
on specific dates; and
ii) The contractual cash flows comprise recovery of solely principle and interest.
The key aspect in above points is that irrespective of changes in fair value of the financial asset, entity’s
intention is to hold the investment and wait for those dates on which contractual cash flows will arise; i.e the
date on which interest and principal will be received according to the agreement. In such a case, cost basis
measurement can be used; means instrument should remain at 1,000 in statement of financial position.
Interest income is recognized in profit or loss and fair value changes are simply ignored.
If, however entity’s intention is to sell the financial asset as the market values increase then it means entity is
not interested with contractual cash flows of principal and interest on specific dates. In such a case, investment
is re measured at each reporting date to fair value; i.e at 100 x 15 = 1,500 as on 31.12.2015 onwards until
disposal. Interest income is recognized in profit or loss.
Example of a debt instrument:
Company X invested Rs. 1,000 in a fixed deposit @ 10% for 2 years on 1-1-2015. This arrangement includes:
A principal amount of 1,000; and
Interest of Year-1 100

31-12-2015 1,100

386
Interest of Year-2 110

31-12-2016 1,210 (this balance is sum of principal; 1,000 and interest; 210)
If the objective of the company is to hold the investment and then receive contractual cash flows, then following
accounting treatment will be adopted:
Accounting entries:
1-1-2015: Investment -Financial Asset 1,000
Bank 1,000
31-12-2015: Investment -Financial Asset 100
Interest Income 100
31-12-2016: Investment -Financial Asset 110
Interest Income 110

End of 31-12-2016 (on maturity date after two years)


Bank 1,210
Investment -Financial asset 1,210
Point to remember: IFRS 9 uses word of Amortized cost for cost basis measurement of debt instruments.
Important terms used in questions:
Bond simply means loan
Coupon rate means actual interest rate
1. If today’s invested amount is similar to redemption amount than actual rate (means coupon rate)
and effective rate will be same.
Example of a debt instrument
Company X invests in a bond of company Y on 1-1-2015 carrying interest of 6%. Assume conditions of using
cost method are met.
Investment amount is 3,000 which will be redeemed after four years...
Effective Interest @ 6 Interest received @ 6% Balance
%
1.1.2015 3,000
31.12.2015 180 180 3,000
31.12.2016 180 180 3,000
31.12.2017 180 180 3,000
31.12.2018 180 180 3,000
Total 720 720
2. If today’s invested amount is dissimilar to redemption amount than actual rate (means couponrate)
and effective rate will be different.
Example of a debt instrument
Company X invests in a bond of company Y on 1-1-2015 carrying interest of 6%. Assume conditions of using
cost method are met.
Investment amount is 3,000 and the redeemed amount will be 3,400 after four years...
Effective Interest @ % Interest received @ 6% Balance
1.1.2015 3,000
31.12.2015 180 3,000
31.12.2016 180 3,000
31.12.2017 180 3,000
31.12.2018 180 3,400(3,000+1,120-720)
Total 1,120 (400+720) 720

387
3. Zero coupon bond Example of a debt instrument
Company X invests in zero-coupon bond of company Y on 1-1-2015.
Zero coupon bond means a debt instrument in which all investor gain will arise on maturity at the end of the
bond period; and no interest is received during the period.
Assume conditions of using cost method are met. Investment amount is 6,000.
After 3 years company Y will pay 8,000 to company X. Year ended 31-12 each year. Effective rate of interest
is 10.064 %
Effective Interest Cash flows Balance
@ 10.064 % Interest received
1.1.2015 6,000
31.12.2015 604 - 6,604
31.12.2016 665 - 7,269
31.12.2017 731 - 8,000
Total 2,000

Accounting entries:
1-1.2015: Investment 6,000
Bank 6,000
31-12-2015: Investment 604
Interest income 604
31-12-2016: Investment 664
Interest income 664
31-12-2017: Investment 731
Interest income 731
31-12-2017: Cash 8,000
Investment 8,000
4. If there is a transaction cost associated with debt instrument (e.g. documentation charges or brokers
fee)
Example of a debt instrument
Company X invests in a bond of company Y on 1-1-2015 carrying coupon of 6%. Assume conditions of
using cost method are met.
Investment amount is 3,000 and the redeemed amount will be 3,400 after four years. The associated
transaction costs are 200.
a) If transaction cost is recognized as an expense in the year in which it is incurred:
Transaction cost expense 200
Cash 200
In this case the expense will be recognized in the first year and income of 1,120 will be recognized over the
four years.
Effective Interest @ Interest received Balance
% @ 6%
01.01.2015 3,000
31.12.2015 180 3,000
31.12.2016 180 3,000
31.12.2017 180 3,000
31.12.2018 180 3,400(3,000+1,120-
720)
Total 1,120 (400+720) 720

388
b) If transaction cost is capitalized in the cost of investment if effective interest rate is 7.05%.
Investment 200
Cash 200
In this case the expense will be recognized over the four years in the form of reduced interest income.
Effective Interest @ 7.05% Interest received @ 6% Balance

01.01.2015 3,200(3,000+200)
31.12.2015 226 180 3,246
31.12.2016 229 180 3,295
31.12.2017 232 180 3,347
31.12.2018 236 180 3,403(3,200+920-720)
Total 920 (400+720-200) 720

Conclusion: As per IFRS 9 transaction costs should be capitalized in case of debt instrument measured at
amortized cost.
Point to remember
Effective rate will be different from actual interest rate:
 If today’s amount is different from redemption amount in terms of principal; and
 If today’s amount is equal to future amount but there are more than one actual interest rates during the
term of loan.
Summary of Amortized cost (means cost basis measurement) (for financial assets)

 This method of measurement is used for Debt instruments that met the business model test for holding as
well as cash flow characteristics test.
 The amortized cost of an asset equals: initial cost plus interest less cash received.
 The interest will be charged at the effective rate. This is the internal rate of return of the instrument.
 The interest will be received at the actual coupon rate.
The simplest way to prepare a working for amortized cost is to use the following table.
Effective interest Cash Flows Balance (SOFP)
income % (P/L) Cash received
(coupon %)
Beginning of Y 1 X
End of 1 X (X) X
End of 2 X (X) X
End of 3 X (X) X

The balance at the beginning is the total investment (cash invested) Financial Asset xx
Cash xx
Effective interest is calculated on the balance and is credited to the statement of profit or loss (P/L) as finance
income:
Financial Asset xx
Finance income xx
The coupon received is the coupon percentage multiplied by the face/nominal value of the instrument:
Cash xx
Financial Asset xx
The closing balance is the figure for the statement of financial position (SOFP) at the reporting date.
Concept of profit or loss portion and other comprehensive income portion in statement of
comprehensiveincome
If the business model for debt instruments is to:

389
 Collect contractual cash flows; and
 Selling financial assets whenever a favorable opportunity arises then:
In this case the IFRS-9 does not allow to use Amortized cost method. In such a case then entity should use FV
through OCI method for debt instruments. Under this approach, any interest based on effective rate will be
taken to P.L but changes in fair value (either gain/loss) are recognized in other comprehensive income.
For example:
Company X has purchased debentures of Rs. 1,000 at Par redeemable at par; which are listed on an exchange
on 01.01.2016
It carries interest rate of 6% receivable in arrears; i.e. annual interest of 60. Fair value on 31.12.2016 is 1,020
Assume the business model for debt instruments is to:

 Collect contractual cash flows; and


 Selling financial assets whenever a favorable opportunity arises then:
Total Income for the year ended 31.12.2016 is

60 20 (1,020 – 1,000)
Interest income Fair value gain

In this case, changes in fair value are recognized in OCI rather than profit or loss because the business model is
to hold the investment to earn interest as well selling it whenever a favorable opportunity arises (rather than
selling in the short term)
If the business model for debt instruments is trading means selling in the short term as soon as the
favorable opportunity arise. The objective of the investment is not to hold the investment and receive
contractual cash flows on specific dates of the contract.
Even in this case the IFRS-9 does not allow to use Amortized cost method. In such a case then entity should
use FV through PL method for debt instruments. Under this approach, any actual interest (means coupon)
based on face value as well as changes in fair value (either gain/loss) are recognized in profit or loss.
There is no need of any amortization table.
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets (Debt instruments):
Example:
On 1-1-2011, Abacus Co. purchased a debt instrument (e.g. debentures) at its fair value of 1,000 (from stock
market). The debt instrument is due to mature on 31-12-2015. The instrument has a face value of 1,250 (which
is receivable at maturity) and the instrument carries fixed interest rate of 4.72% that is paid annually (not
mentioned then always arrears). The effective rate of interest is 10%.

Fair value as on 31.12.2011 of debt instrument is 1,080. Required:


1. How should Abacus Co. account for the debt instruments? Assume Abacus Co. decided to hold the
investment till maturity and receive contractual cash flows comprising principal and interest therefore
use Amortized cost method.
2. How should Abacus Co. account for the debt instrument? Suppose Abacus Co.’s investment objective
is to collect contractual cash flow as well as selling when an opportunity arises at a good price
therefore this investment is carried at Fair value through other comprehensive income rather than
Amortized cost.
3. How should Abacus Co. account for the debt instrument? Suppose Abacus Co.’s investment objective
390
is trading in the short term (means speculation) rather than to collect the contractual cash flows up to
maturity; therefore, this investment is carried at Fair value through profit or loss rather than Fair value
through other comprehensive income or Amortized cost.

391
Answer:
1. Amortized cost
Abacus will receive interest of 59 (1,250 x 4.72%) each year for five years in arrears and 1,250 when the
instrument matures on 31.12.2015.
Effective Interest Cash flows Balance
income @ 10% Interest received (SOFP)
(P.L) 1,250 x 4.72%
1.1.2011 1,000
31.12.2011 100 (59) 1,041
31.12.2012 104 (59) 1,086
31.12.2013 109 (59) 1,136
31.12.2014 113 (59) 1,190
31.12.2015 119 (1,309) -
[1,250+59]

Every year the carrying amount of the financial asset is increased by the interest income for the year and
reduced by the interest actually received during the year. Fair value is simply ignored.
2. Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
In this case, fair value changes will go through OCI. Interest income measured at amortized cost will go to
profit or loss (other income) just as above. In addition, as on 31-12-2011 difference in fair value 39 (1,080 –
1,041) would go to OCI and the investment would be shown in statement of financial position at 1,080 as on
31-12-2011.
3. Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
In this case, fair value changes will go to P.L. Actual Interest income of Rs. 59 will go to profit or loss (other
income). In addition, as on 31-12-2011 difference in fair value of Rs. 80 (1,080 – 1,000) will go to P.L and the
investment would be shown in statement of financial position at 1,080 as on 31-12-2011.

Amortized cost criteria:


The rules try to limit the use of amortized cost method to those situations where it best reflects the substance of
transaction. Therefore, it can only be used by an entity whose business model is to purchase debt instruments
and collect contractual cash flows in the form of principal and interest.

392

In summary, debt instruments are classified as either:
1. At amortized cost if both conditions of measurement at amortized cost are met (and FVTPL option is
not elected)
2. At FV through OCI if conditions of FVTOCI are met (and FVTPL option is not elected)
3. At FV through PL if entity made an irrevocable* election at initial recognition for any of the debt
instrument; or if held for trading
*(Means cannot subsequently change)
2. Financial Asset in the form of an Equity instrument:
E.g. Honda ltd purchased ordinary shares in Google of Rs. 5,000,000. In this case, the share price will change
in stock exchange on daily basis. Google may or may not pay dividends. It depends upon availability of profits
and decision of management and Google will only repay the initial investment if there are surplus funds at the
time of liquidation; so, this is not an investment in which contractual cash flows will be received on specific
dates. (Honda Ltd. may or may not receive dividends. Dividend on ordinary shares is discretion of
management; and if no surplus funds at liquidation Honda ltd will not get the invested amount as well)
Therefore, these equity shares should not be measured on cost basis (means at amortized cost).
Example of an equity instrument:
Company X invested in 1,000 ordinary shares of company Y on 1.1.2016 at 10 per share (it is a financial asset
for company X and equity instrument of company Y)
Investments in ordinary shares neither results into contractual cash flows on specific dates nor recovery of
solely principal or interest. This type of investment will always be shown at Fair value (not at cost) as the
conditions for cost basis measurement are not fulfilled. [Please remember there is a choice of cost basis for debt
instruments]
Let’s assume at 31.12.2016; Fair value is 15 per share therefore fair value of investment will be 1,000x15 =
15,000.
At 31.12.2017; Fair value is 8 per share therefore fair value of investment will be 1,000x8 = 8,000.
If we use fair value; then next discussion is whether to recognize gain/loss on re measurement to fair value in
profit or loss or in reserves (means in other comprehensive income).
If investment in shares is for speculative or short If investment in shares is for long term purposes
term trading purposes (for future dividend)/or strategic (e.g. to obtain
(means purpose is to earn immediate gain by selling control or significant influence over the long term; in
shares as soon as the favorable opportunity arises) other words, no plan to sell in the short term) then
then Recognize gain or loss in profit or loss recognize gain or loss in reserves (OCI)

Decision tree for classification:

Financial asset is an Equity Instruments [e.g. investment in ordinary shares of another


company]

(means cash flows under the contract comprise solely payment of principal and interest)
[This test will most likely fail in case of equity instruments]

FAIL

NO
Held for trading
(means for short term speculation)

Irrevocable FVTOCI option elected

YES instruments can be classified as FVTPL)

NO YES

Then no choice classify as FVTPL Classify as FVTOCI

395
In summary, equity instruments are classified as either:
1. Held for trading FVTPL is Mandatory
2. Not held for trading means a long term investment entity can make an irrevocable election at the
initial recognition to measure at FVTOCI; otherwise even then FVTPL.
3. Never at amortized cost.
Important point: the FVOCI (for debt instruments) is a mandatory classification (i.e if the requirements are met
the debt instrument met be classified at FVOCI). In contrast the FVOCI (for equity instruments) is purely an
elective classification.

Transaction costs
Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or
disposal of a financial instrument (means the cost that would not have been incurred if the entity had not acquired,
issued or disposed of the financial instrument). Examples of transaction costs are:
1. fees and commissions paid to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers;
2. levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges;
3. transfer taxes and duties;
4. credit assessment fees;
5. registration charges and similar costs.
Cost that do not qualify as transaction costs are financing costs (means interest costs), internal administration costs
and holding costs. These costs are expensed when incurred.

Initial Measurement:
Initial measurement of financial assets is always at fair value, and may involve the adjustment for transaction costs
Important Note:
Exceptions from using fair value occurs in the event of a trade receivable that does not have a Significant financing
component (Interest element). Trade receivables that do not have a significant financing Component are always
measured at the relevant transaction price as defined by IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers.
Effective interest rate method is defined as: the method that is used in the calculation of the amortized cost of a
Financial Assets (or F Financial Liability) and the allocation and recognition of the interest revenue (expense) in

Example: In February 2018, company XYZ purchased 20,000 Rs. 10 listed equity shares at a price of Rs. 40 per
share. Transaction costs were Rs. 2,000. At the year ended 31-12-2018 these shares were traded at Rs. 55 per share.
A dividend of Rs. 2 per share was received on 30th Sept. 2018.

Required:
Show how the financial statements extracts of company XYZ as on 31-12-2018 relating to this investment
assuming separately that:
a) The shares were acquired for trading (therefore carried at FVTPL).
b) The shares were not acquired for trading and company has made an irrevocable FVTOCI election at initial
recognition.
Answer:
a) Statement of profit or loss:

Gain on Investment [20,000 x (55 – 40)] 300,000


Dividend income [20,000 x 2] 40,000
Transaction cost expense (2,000)
Statement of financial position:
Investment in shares [20,000 x 55] 1,100,000
b) Statement of profit or loss:
Dividend income [20,000 x 2] 40,000
Other comprehensive income:
Gain on investment 298,000
[(20,000 x 55) – (20,000 x 40 + 2,000)]
Statement of financial position:
Investment in shares [20,000 x 55] 1,100,000

398
An application of cash flow characteristics test and business model test means that equity investments cannot be
classified as measured at amortized cost and must be measured at fair value. This is because contractual cash
flows on specified dates are not a characteristic of equity instruments. They are held at fair value, with changes
going through profit or loss unless investment is not held for trading and the entity makes an irrevocable election
at initial recognition to recognize it at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI). If this option is
selected, only dividend income will be recognized in profit or loss.

Answers:1.
a) The equity investment should be classified as fair value through profit or loss as the shares are held for trading
purposes.
Statement of profit or loss For the year ended 31-12-2017
Gain on financial assets [10,000 x (49 - 42)] 70,000
Transaction cost expense (1,300)
Statement of financial position As on 31-12-2017
Current assets*
Investments (10,000 x 49) 490,000
*Because held for trading
b) The financial asset would instead be classified as FV through OCI if option is elected, otherwise use FVTPL
[as in (a)].if the option is elected then the transaction costs would be added to the financial asset upon initial
recognition rather than being expensed out, therefore the initial asset would be recognized at an amount
421,300 (10,000 x 42 +1,300).
The asset would be recognized as non-current on the statement of financial position and the subsequent
gain of 68,700 (490,000 – 421,300) would be taken to reserves and shown in other comprehensive income in
the statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31.12.2017.
Answer-2:
The correct journal entry is C:
Investment 400,000
Profit or loss 400,000
The investment is held for trading and therefore should be classified as fair value through profit or loss. The
transaction costs of 120,000 are therefore expensed and the initial recognition of the investment would be at
3,000,000. The fair value at the year-end is 34 x 100,000 = 3,400,000 and therefore the gain to be reflected in
profit or loss is 400,000.
Answer-3:
a) Briefing note to Junaid
The investment has been classified to be measured at amortized cost. It should be initially recognized at fair
value and any transaction costs associated with the investment should be added to the initial recognition of the
asset.
The investment has a fair value of Rs. 3 million at the date of acquisition. The transaction costs were 200,000
and therefore the investment will be initially recognized at an amount of 3.2 million.
Subsequent measurement is then required using the amortized cost method. This means that the asset is increased
to reflect interest income at the effective rate of interest of 7.05% and reduced by the amount of cash received in
the period, which is 6% x nominal value i.e. 3 million =180,000.

A. These equity shares must be classified as fair value through OCI as these are not held for trading. These shares
in Slow limited will be measured at fair value with transaction costs capitalized. The initial measurement of
the asset would be: 10,000 shares x 10 + 1,000 = 101,000.
Changes in fair value must be recognized in other comprehensive income.
B. These equity shares must be classified as FVTOCI because not held for trading.
These shares in Quick limited should also be measured at fair value with transaction costs capitalized. The
initial measurement of the asset would be: (12,000 shares x 12) + 2,000 = 146,000
Changes in fair value must be recognized in other comprehensive income.
C. These shares must be classified as FVTPL because they are held for trading. The shares in Speedy limited will
be measured at fair value with transaction costs expensed.
The initial measurement of the asset would be 15,000 shares x 15 = 225,000. Changes in fair value must be
recognized in profit or loss.
D. The debentures, a debt instrument satisfies the amortized cost criteria. The company seems to operate a
business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect the contractual cash flows and it
seems that cash that it will collect will be solely payment of principal and interest and thus measured at
amortized cost with transaction costs capitalized.
The initial measurement of the asset would be: 100,000 x 90% + 1,000 = 91,000.
Interest income is to be recognized in profit or loss. Changes in fair value are not recognized.
Amortized Cost:
Examples of Financial Assets measured in this category are:

 Intercompany loans and receivables


 Investments in term deposits/debentures
All investments in equity instruments must be measured at fair value; only difference is whether to classify the re
measurement gain/loss in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income (OCI)
Examples of instruments measured at FVTPL:
1. All financial assets held for trading
2. All Debt instruments (if management opts at initial recognition).
3. All Equity instruments not held for trading (if management opts at initial recognition) In other words, all
financial assets can be classified as FVTPL.

Financial liabilities:
Classification
On recognition, IFRS-9 requires that financial liabilities are classified as;
1. At Amortized cost; or
2. At fair value through profit or loss FVTPL.

1. Financial liabilities at Amortized cost:
Initial measurement:
Initially recognize at Fair value net of transaction costs (net proceeds) [means cash received –
issuance costs incurred]
[It simply means transaction costs are not expensed when incurred; rather over the term of the
liability] There is as such no business model test for financial liabilities like as was in financial assets.
1. Debentures of Rs. 100,000 carrying interest @ 10%, issued on 01.01.2015 at Par and redeemable
at Par after four years. Transaction cost is 1,000.
a) If transaction cost is recognized as an expense in the year in which it is incurred:
Cash 100,000
Debentures 100,000
Transaction cost expense 1,000
Cash 1,000

31.12.2018 10,000 100,000
Total 40,000 40,000
In this case the transaction cost expense will be recognized in the first year and interest expense of
40,000 will be recognized over the four years.
b) If transaction cost is deducted from financial liability
Cash 100,000
Debentures 100,000

Total 41,000 40,000
(40,000+1,000)
In this case the transaction cost expense will be recognized over the four years included within interest
expense.
Conclusion: As per IFRS 9 transaction costs should be deducted from fair value of financial liability
so that expense is recognized over four years.

Summary of financial liabilities at Amortized cost


The simplest way to prepare a working for amortized cost is to use the following table.
Effective interest Coupon (interest) Closing balance
expense % (P/L) paid % (SOFP)
Beginning of Y1 -
31.12.Y1 - (-) -
31.12.Y2 - (-) -
31.12.Y3 - (-) -

The balance at the beginning is the net proceeds (i.e. after the deduction of any discounts and issue

costs): Cash xxx


Financial Liability xxx
Effective interest is calculated on the balance and is charged to the statement to profit or loss (P/L) as
an interest expense:
Finance costs (P/L) xxx
Financial Liability xxx
The coupon paid is the coupon percentage multiplied by the face/nominal value of the debt instrument:
Financial Liability xxx
Cash xxx
The closing balance is the figure for the statement of financial position (SOFP) at the reporting date.
Example:
Amortized cost:
A company issues 5% loan notes at their nominal value of 20,000 on 1.1.2015. The loan notes are
repayable at par after 4 years.
Required: prepare the extracts from statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial
position for all the relevant years.
Important Note: Because the loan is repayable at par i.e. face (nominal) value of 20,000, the coupon
rate is equal to the effective rate.
When the loan notes are issued:
Bank 20,000
Loan notes 20,000

Answer 7:
The bond is a zero-coupon bond and is a financial liability of Galaxy Co. It is measured at amortized
cost. Although, there is no annual interest, the difference between the initial cost of the bond and the

411
price at which it will be redeemed is a finance cost. This must be allocated over the term of the bond at
a constant rate on carrying amount. This is done by applying the effective interest rate.
The annual charge to profit or loss is 30,226 (503,778 x 6%). The balance outstanding at 31-12-2012
is 534,004 (503,778 + 30,226).

2.A financial liability is classified at fair value through profit or loss if:
1. It is held for trading (means e.g. liability incurred for the purpose of selling (e.g. to another
bank) or repurchasing in the near future (repurchase of debentures from market before
maturity); or
2. Upon initial recognition it is designated at fair value through profit or loss. Any such
designation is irrevocable.
This designation is only allowed if:
a) It eliminates or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
b) Because the financial liability is evaluated by the entity’s key management personnel (e.g.
board of directors) on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management
strategy.
Accounting Treatment of Financial liabilities at FVTPL:

 Record at fair value.


 Transaction costs are recognized as an expense.
 Restate to fair value at each reporting date.
 Any gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss except as a result of own credit risk then to
OCI
(discussed next).
 Interest expense is recognized in P.L calculated on the basis of nominal rate.
Example: Mousse limited issued 100,00 debentures on the 1 January 2015. Proceeds totaling 200,000.
 On the 31 December 2015 the debentures had a fair value of 300,000.
 Mousse limited designated these debentures to be held at ‘fair value through profit or loss’
 Transaction costs incurred by Mousse limited came to 1,000.
Required:
Provide the necessary journals to show how Mousse limited should account for the debentures during
the year ended 31.12.2015.
Answer:
1 January 2015: Transaction costs expense 1,000
Bank 1,000
(Transaction costs on the issue of debentures)

(Issue of debenture)
31 December 2015: Fair value adjustment on financial 100,000

Debentures (liability) 100,000
(Re-measurement of debentures at
year end)
[300,000 – 200,000]

Own Credit Risk:


Credit Risk: This is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and
cause the other party to incur a financial loss. A typical example is our debtor, being our financial asset, if
he is in a financial difficulty and therefore unable to pay his debt (a bad debt for us).
Own credit risk is the reserve situation our company is in a financial difficulty and we are unable to pay
our financial liability (means payable).
For example, debentures of Rs. 100,000 are issued on 01.01.2018, trading on an exchange. Assume
financialliability is held for trading and therefore measured at FVTPL.
Cash 100,000
Debentures 100,000
Fair value of debentures is supposing 10,000 as on 31.12.2018.
Debentures 90,000
Gain 90,000

413
(100,000 - 10,000)
In this case, the gain or loss in a period must be classified into:
i) Gain or loss resulting from credit risk; and
ii) Other gain or loss (because of changes in market conditions).
Changes in an entity’s credit risk affect the fair value of that financial liability. This means that when an
entity’s credit worthiness deteriorates, the fair value of its issued debt will decrease (and vice versa). For
Financial liabilities measured at fair value, this causes a gain (or loss) to be recognized.
The problem is that a company which is in a severe financial trouble can record a large profit based on its
ability to buy back its own financial liability (e.g. a debenture) at a reduced fair value.
Therefore, IFRS-9 requires the gain or loss as a result of credit risk to be recognized in other comprehensive
income (means in reserves). The other gain or loss (not as a result of credit risk) is recognized in profit or
loss.
1-1-2015: Issuance of debentures
Cash 500,000
Debentures 500,000
31-12-2015: Fair value is 270,000
Therefore, a total gain is 230,000 [500,000 – 270,000]. Suppose:

200,000 due to 30,000 Otherwise due to


deterioration of own market forces credit risk.

A.2
The company in the above bond would recognize a financial liability at amortized cost unless it is held for
trading.
The amortized cost of the liability at the end of each year is calculated by constructing an amortization
table as follows:
Effective
Interest at Interest paid @ 5%
Date 5.942% & 7% Balance (SOFP)
1-1-2011 1,000,000
31-12-2011 59,424 (50,000) 1,009,424
31-12-2012 59,980 (50,000) 1,019,404
31-12-2013 60,572 (70,000) 1,009,977
1,000,000
31-12-2014 60,012 (70,000) (Approx)

240,000 240,000
The bond is initially recorded at cost (Rs. 1,000,000) and by the end of year 2011 it has an amortized cost of
Rs. 1,009,424. The difference is due to the difference in the interest expense recognized in the statement of
profit or loss (Rs. 59,424) and the interest actually paid (Rs. 50,000).
A.3
The amount recognized as income in profit or loss each year is based on the effective rate of return, but the
cash actually received is based on the coupon rate of 10%.
This is calculated as follows:
Rs. In ‘million’
Effective
Interest at Interest received @
Date 11.67% 6% Balance
1-1-2015 - 48.00
31-12-2015 5.60 (5) 48.60

31-12-2017 5.75 (5) 50.00
17 15
A.4
The initial liability is (Rs. 100.000 × 100.5) – Rs. 50,000 = Rs. 10,000,000.
Effective Interest Interest paid 10M
Date at 7% @ 6% Balance
1-1-2011 10,000,000

31-12-2011 700,000 (600,000) 10,100,000
31-12-2012 707,000 (600,000) 10,207,000
31-12-2013 714,490 (600,000) 10,321,490
31-12-2014 722,510 (600,000) 10,444,000
2,844,000 2,400,000
The final interest payment of Rs. 722,510 contains a rounding adjustment of Rs. 6.
Note the difference between the interest charged and the interest paid. This is because there is a
redemption premium of Rs. 444,000 which has already been recognized as an expense during the term of
bond.

Investment in Debentures:
Given that these debentures are planned to be held until redemption, under IFRS 9 – Financial instruments,
they would be measured at amortized cost unless designated at fair value through PL is elected, on the basis
that:
a. The objective of the business model within which the asset is held is to hold assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows, and
b. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows on specific dates that are solely
payments of principal and interest.
This means that they are initially shown at their cost (including any transaction cost) and this cost will
increase over time by applying a constant effective interest rate. Their value is reduced by interest received
i.e the coupon.
420
Consequently, the amortized cost valuation of these debentures at the year-end would be:
Rupees
Cost (600,000-90,000) 510,000
Effective interest rate @ 8% Coupon received (4% x 600,000)
40,800 shown as finance income
(24,000) debited to cash
526,800

Date Effective interest @ Coupon received Balance


8% 600,000 x 4%
1-12-2017 510,000
31-12-2017 40,800 24,000 526,800
31-12-2018 42,144 24,000 544,944
31-12-2019 43,596 24,000 564,540
31-12-2020 45,163 24,000 585,703

Effect on gearing:
These debentures are an asset and so as the increase in value is recognized until redemption, the equity of
of the business will increase thus reducing gearing.

Redeemable Preference Shares


Redeemable preference shares, although called as shares, are not, in substance equity, they are a debt
instrument, i.e. a loan received by the company.
Consequently, they should be classified as such, i.e. as a non current liability in the statement of financial
position. The ‘dividend’ paid will be shown in profit or loss as finance costs and accrued at the end of the
year if outstanding, whether declared or not.
The shares are consequently a financial liability held at amortized cost unless designed at fair value through
P.L. In this case, given that the shares are issued and redeemed at the same value, the effective interest rate
and nominal coupon rate will be the same and each year Rs. 6,000 will be shown as a finance cost in profit
or loss and the balance outstanding under non-current liabilities at each year end will be Rs. 100,000,
calculated as follows:
Rupees
Cash received (10,000 x 10) 100,000
Effective interest rate 6% 6,000 shown as finance cost
Coupon paid (6% x 100,000) (6,000) Credited to cash
Closing balance 100,000
In the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2019, the shares will need to be reclassified as
a current liability given that they will be repaid within one year.
Given that these shares are classified as a financial liability, gearing will be higher.

Solution 2
(i) 3% Bond
The bond must initially be recorded at its purchase price of Rs. 250,000. The bond seems to satisfy the
amortized cost criteria. The company seem to operate a business model whose objective is to hold financial
assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and it seems that the cash it will collect will be solely
payment of interest and principle. Therefore, market value is not relevant.
Interest will be credited to profit or loss using the effective interest rate, resulting in finance income of Rs.
20,100 (8.04 % x 250,000). The coupon received will be Rs. 9,000 (3% x 300,000)
The amortized cost at the end of 2013 will be Rs. 261,100 (250,000 + 20,100 – 9,000) will appear in
statement of financial position.

Effective Interest interest Paid Balance


@ 8.04% 300,000 x 3%

31-12-2013 20,100 (9,000) 261,100
31-12-2014 20,992 (9,000) 273,092
31-12-2015 21,957 (9,000) 286,049
31-12-2016 22,998 (9,000) 300,047

(ii) Equity shares in XYZ


The shares must be classified as FVTPL. They will initially be recorded at their cost of Rs. 30,000. As they

425
have been classed as ‘fair value through profit or loss’ the transaction costs must be expensed to profit or
loss immediately. At the end of each reporting period, the shares must be re-measured to their market value,
with the resulting gain or loss being taken to profit or loss.
At 1 January 2013, the investment had a carrying value of Rs. 102,000(3000 x 34). By the 31 December
2013 this value is now Rs. 105,000 (3,000 x 35). A Rs. 3,000 gain will therefore be recognized in profit or
loss for the year ended 31.12.2013.

Solution 3
Held for trading investment
Initial recording:

Current asset investment 300,000


Bank 300,000
[100,000 x 3]
Being the purchase of shares
Transaction cost (Expense) 12,000
Bank 12,000

Being the write off of the transaction costs to the statement of profit or loss as the investment is an asset held
at fair value through profit or loss
Subsequent measurement

Current asset investment 40,000


profit or loss – gain 40,000
[(100,000 x 3.4) – 300,000]

Being the uplift in value and the recording of the gain in the statement of profit or loss

Solution 4
Investment initially is recorded at fair value plus transactions costs:
March 2016:
Investment 107,200
(40,000 shares x Rs. 2.68)
Bank 107,200
Being initial recognition
Investment 5,360 Bank
5,360
Commission (107,200 x 5%)
Total value of investment is 107,200 + 5,360 = 112,560.
The investment is subsequently measured at the fair value of the shares
31.07.2016
Investment 5,840
FV Reserves (OCI) 5,840
[(40,000 x Rs. 2.96) – Rs. 112,560].

Solution 5
(i) The investment should be classified as measured at Amortized cost because it seems to satisfy the
amortized cost criteria. The company seems to operate a business model whose objective is to hold
financial assets in order to collect the contractual cash flows and it seems that cash that it will collect is
solely payment of principal and interest. Initially the investment will be measured at its fair value (which
in this case is its cost), plus any associated costs.
The initial journal entry required is therefore:
Investment 4,200,000
Bank 4,200,000
(4,000,000 + 200,000)

426
(ii) Subsequent measurement
Effective interest Interest received Balance
8.4% (P.L) 7% x Rs. 4m (SOFP)
1-7-2014 4,200
30-6-2015 353 (280) 4,273
30-6-2016 359 (280) 4,352
30-6-2017 365 (280) 4,437
30-6-2018 373 (280) 4,530

The investment will be held at Rs. 4,352,000 in the statement of financial position at 30 June 2016.

Solution 6
Investment in KL
Initial measurement
According to IFRS 9, at initial recognition, RIL may make irrevocable election to present subsequent
changes in fair value in equity investment in other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss account.
If RIL opted as above, investment in KL would initially be recognized at fair value plus transaction costs
i.e. Rs. 20 million.
However, if RIL opted to measure the investment at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), investment
should initially be measured at Rs. 19.61 million (20/102 x 100) and transaction costs of Rs. 0.39 million
(20–19.61) should be charged to profit and loss.
Subsequent measurement
On 31 December 2016, if fair value through other comprehensive income has been opted, investment in KL
should be measured at fair value of Rs. 12.4 million (155,000 x 80) and a loss of Rs. 7.6 million [20–12.4]
should be recorded through other comprehensive income.
According to IFRS 9, in case of equity instrument amount presented in other comprehensive income shall
not be subsequently transferred to profit or loss. However, the entity may transfer the cumulative gain /
(loss) within equity to retained earnings.
If fair value through profit or loss has been opted, then RIL should account for the loss of Rs.7.21 million
(19.61–12.4) through profit and loss.

Investment in BL
Initial measurement
It is as held for trading therefore measure at fair value through profit or loss. The investment in BL should
be recognized at Rs. 63.73 million (65÷102 x 100) and transaction cost of Rs. 1.27 million should be
charged to profit and loss account.
Subsequent measurement
As at 31.12.2016, the investment should be re-measured to fair value at the market price of Rs. 83.835
million (135,000×621) and a gain of Rs. 20.105 million (83.835–63.73) shall be recorded in the profit and
loss.

Answer 1
a. The face value of the debentures
Rs. 100 X 20,000 = Rs. 2,000,000
The amount accrued to the company as proceeds = Rs. 97.5 X 20,000 = Rs. 1,950,000
b. The difference between the face value and the market value of the debentures is Rs. 50,000. This is as a
result of discount allowed on the issue on the debentures. Discount on debentures attracts investors.
c. Nominal interest rate is the rate based specifically on the face value of the loan capital. In case of Passila
Ltd., the nominal interest rate on the debentures is 8% per annum on Rs. 2,000,000
The effective interest is the rate based on the market value. This is the actual value collected on issue
which can be at par, discount or premium. For Passila Ltd., the effective interest rate will be 8% of Rs.
1,950,000
d. The nominal interest payable
Rs. 2,000,000 X 8% X 6 months ÷ 12 months = Rs. 80,000
e.
(i) The face value of Rs. 2,000,000 will be the most appropriate valuation to be disclosed in the
Statement of financial position. The management may be interested in the quoted market value or the
proceeds, but for the sake of outside investors who would only be interested in the company having
good reputations devoid of trading losses, it is advisable that the face value be adopted.
(ii) Disclosing the debentures’ liability at face value plus interest payment for five years may seem proper
in the eyes of external investors and credit institutions, but principally, it would be wrong to credit
debentures’ account with both the face value and the interest payments. An interest payment on
debentures is a revenue item which is debited to the Profit and Loss Account.
(iii) Disclosing debentures’ liability at market value on the Statement of financial position will amount to
disclosure at replacement value. The market value should be disclosed.

Answer 5
a. Option (i)
As this investment is not “held for trading”, the investment can be irrevocably elected to measure at fair value
through other comprehensive income. In this case, investment should initially be measured at fair value
plus transaction cost i.e. Rs. 23.5 million.
Option (ii)
If election under option (i) is not made, then it should be classified as measured at fair value through profit or
loss and will initially be measured at fair value i.e. Rs. 23 million.

437
b) Option (i)
Since the objective of business model is to hold the investment till maturity, the investment can be classified as
financial asset at amortized cost and will initially be measured at fair value plus transaction cost i.e. Rs. 95.8
million.
Option (ii)
The investment can be designated as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss if classifying at
amortized cost would have caused an accounting mismatch. In this option, the bonds will initially be measured
at fair value i.e. Rs. 95 million.

Financial instrument
Substance over form [IAS 32: 15]
Some financial instruments have the legal form of equity but are, in substance, liabilities. For example, an issuer
(company) has contractual obligation to deliver cash in case of redeemable preference shares.

Therefore, dividend on redeemable preference shares is treated as finance cost in profit or loss while dividend
on ordinary shares is presented in statement of changes in equity.
► Example:
Item Financial instrument or otherwise
Trade payable A financial liability (to be settled in cash)
Investment in loan notes of another entity A financial asset
Bank loan obtained A financial liability
Ordinary shares issued An equity instrument
Irredeemable preference shares issued An equity instrument
Unfavorable forward currency contract A financial liability
Redeemable preference shares issued A financial liability
Investment in redeemable preference shares A financial asset
Prepaid rent A non-financial asset
Current tax payable A non-financial liability
(statutory obligation)
Inventory A non-financial asset

Recognition [IFRS 9: 3.1.1]


An entity shall recognize a financial asset or a financial liability in its statement of financial position, when, and
only when, the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset might be an investment in debt or in equity. Example:

Provision, Contingent Liabilities & Contingent Assets IAS-37
Theory
Provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount.
Liability is a present obligation arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in
an outflow of resources.
Examples of Provisions
 Provision for taxation
 Provision for gratuity
 Provision for dismantling
 Provision for litigation
 Provision for warranty etc
Difference between a provision and liability:
Provision Liability
Here timing or amount is uncertain (example of a Here timing or amount is not normally uncertain
court case by a debtor, warranty obligation etc.) (trade payable and accrual of expenses)
When to recognize a provision (means incorporation in the Financial statement) [Para 14]
1) There is a present obligation as a result of past events.
Obligation may be
Legal Constructive (Self Assumed Obligations)
That derives from a contract or legislation or That derives from entity’s action that create valid
operation of law (court decision) expectations among the interested parties that
entity will discharge those responsibilities
(Example below)
2) There is a probability of outflow of the resources
3) Although timing or amount is uncertain but a reliable estimate can be made
If all the above conditions are fulfilled, recognize a provision.
Example
Zee Ltd owned a road tanker that overturned in December 20X3 during a bad rain storm. The tanker spilled
its contents thus contaminating a local river. Zee ltd has never before contaminated a river. Zee Ltd has no
legal obligation to clean the river, has no published policies as to its views on the rehabilitation of the
environment and has not made any public statement that it will clean the river. It intends to clean-up the
river and has been able to calculate a reliable estimate of the cost thereof.
Required
Explain whether or not Zee Ltd should recognize a provision in its statement of financial position as at 31 st
December 20X3.
Solution:
The event is the accident and since it happened before year end it is a past event. There is, however, no
present obligation since:
 There is no legal requirement
 There is no constructive obligation to rehabilitate the river since neither:
 A public statement has been made and nor
 There is an established pattern of past practice since this was its first accident like this.
Although Zee Ltd intends to clean-up the river and even has a reliable estimate of the costs thereof, no
provision should be recognized because an obligating event is one that results in the entity having no
realistic alternative but to settle the obligation. Zee Ltd can still change its intension. If however, this
intension has been announced then there is a constructive obligation and a provision should be recognized.
Measurement of Provision [Para 36]
The amount recognized as a provision shall be the best estimate at the reporting date.
The best estimate of the amount of an obligation is the amount that an entity would pay to settle the liability.
It is sometimes difficult to determine the amount of the obligation or the timing of the settlement of the
obligation. When making these estimates, management should consider:

447
 Previous experience:
 Similar transaction:
 Possibly expert advice: and
 Events after the reporting period. (IAS-10) (will be discussed Later)
Previous experience may indicate a range of possible outcomes, for which it may be possible to estimate a
probability. This is referred to as the calculation of expected values using this theory of probabilities. The
application of this theory is best explained by way of example.
Under Para 39 of IAS-37.
Example:
Sahiwal Manufacturing has sold 10,000 units in the year. Sales accrued evenly over the year. It estimates
that for every 100 items sold, 20 will require small repairs at a cost of Rs. 100, 10 will require substantial
repairs at a cost of Rs. 400 each and 5 will require major repairs or replacement at a cost of Rs. 800 each.
On average the need for a repair becomes apparent 6 months after a sale.
What is the closing provision? A provision will be required for the sales in the second six months of the
year because the repairs necessary in respect of the sales in the first six months would have been completed
by the year end.
Sales accrue evenly, therefore, the sales in the second six months are 5,000 units (10,000 x 6/12)
Repair Number of units Cost per repair (Rs.) Total (Rs.)
Small 20% x 5,000 = 1,000 100 100,000
Substantial 10% x 5,000 = 500 400 200,000
Major 5% x 5,000 = 250 800 200,000
Provision 500,000
Future Events [Para 48]
When calculating the amount of the provision, expected future events should be taken into account when
there is 'sufficient objective evidence' available suggesting that the future event will occur.
Example: Future events
A company owns a number of nuclear plants. The company is presently obliged to dismantle one of these
nuclear plants in 3 years’ time.
The last nuclear plant dismantled by the company cost Rs. 1,000,000 to dismantle, but the company expects
to dismantle this nuclear plant, if using the same technology, at a slightly reduced cost of Rs. 800,000 due
to the increased experienced. There is, however, a chance that completely new technology may be available
at the time of dismantling which could lead to a further Rs. 200,000 cost saving.
Required:
Discuss the measurement of the provision.
Solution:
A provision should reflect expected future events where there is sufficient objective evidence that these
will occur. Since the company has had experience in dismantling plants, it is argued that the expected cost
savings through this experience is reasonably expected to occur. The cost savings expected as a result of
the possible introduction of completely new technology, being outside of the control of the company, should
not be taken into account, unless of course the company has sufficient objective evidence that this
technology will be available. The provision should be measured at Rs. 800,000.
Gains on disposals of Assets: [Para 51]
When an obligation involves the sale of an entity's assets and the sale thereof is expected to result in a gain,
this gain should not be included in the calculation of the provision since this would reduce the provision,
which would not be consider prudent.
Example:
New legislation means that U LTD must dismantle its nuclear plant in a year's time. The dismantling is
estimated to cost Rs. 300,000 but U Ltd also expects to earn income from the sale of scrap metal from plant
of Rs. 100,000. The effects of discounting are expected to be immaterial.
Required:
Process the required journal entry to raise the provision.

448
Solution: Gain on disposal of assets
Debit Credit
Nuclear plant 300,000
Provision for dismantling costs 300,000
Expected costs of dismantling (i.e. the Rs 100,000 expected Income is not offset against the expected costs)
Gain will be recognized when it will be earned at the time of sale of scrap metal. (As per IAS-16)
Decommissioning liabilities and similar provisions
A company may be required to ‘clean up’ a location where it has been working when production ceases.
This is often the case in industries where companies are only granted licenses to operate on condition that
they undertake to perform future clean-up operations.
Such industries include, oil and gas, mining and nuclear power.
For example, a company that operates an oil rig may have to repair the damage it has caused to the sea bed
once the oil has all been extracted.
The normal rules apply for the recognition of a provision: a company recognizes a provision only where it
has an obligation to rectify environmental damage as a result of a past event.
A company has an obligation to ‘clean-up’ a site if:
 it is required to do so by law (a legal obligation); or
 its actions have created a constructive obligation to do so.
A constructive obligation might exist if (for example) a company has actually promised to decontaminate
a site or if it has adopted environmentally friendly policies and has made the public aware of this.
Accounting for a provision for a decommissioning liability
IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment identifies the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing
an item and restoring the site upon which it is located as part of the cost of an asset.
Future clean-up costs often occur many years in the future so any provision recognized is usually discounted
to its present value.
Illustration: Initial recognition of a provision for a decommissioning liability
Debit Credit
Non-current asset XXX
Provision XXX
The asset is depreciated over its useful life in the same way as other non-current assets.
The provision is remeasured at each reporting date. If there has been no change in the estimates (i.e. the
future cash cost, the timing of the expenditure and the discount rate) the provision will increase each year
because the payment of the cash becomes one year closer. This increase is described as being due to the
unwinding of the discount.
The amount due to the unwinding of the discount must be expensed as borrowing cost.
Future cash flows and discounting: [Para 45]
The possibility that the settlement of an obligation may occur far into the future has an effect on the value
of the obligation in current day terms. The effect that the passage of time has on the value of money is often
referred to as the 'time value of money'.
Imagine being asked whether you would prefer to receive Rs. 100 today or Rs. 100 years’ time. For many
reasons, (including the fact that you could utilize the Rs. 100 immediately), you would choose to receive it
immediately. This is because the value of Rs. 100 received in the future is less to you than the value of Rs.
100 received today. In other words, today's value (The present value) of a future cash flow is less than the
actual (absolute/future) amount of the cash flow. This is essentially the present value effect or the effect of
the time value of money.
If the difference between the actual (future) amount of the cash flow and the present value is material, then
the liability should be recorded at its present value. The present value is calculated using a discount rate.
As the period between the present and the date of the future cash flow gets shorter, so the difference between
the present value and the actual (future) value of the cash flow gets smaller. Therefore, each year the present
value of the future outflow must be recalculated with the result that the provision (the P.V) will gradually
be increased until the actual settlement date is reached, when the provision will finally be equal to the actual
amount of obligation.

449
The increase In the liability each year will be debited to finance charges, (As a second effect of Journal
entry) means:
Financial charge XXX
Provision XXX [Para 60]

Example:
A factory plant bought on 1sl January 20X1 for Rs. 450,000 cash including costs of installation. The entity
is obliged to decommission the plant after a period of 3 years.
Future decommissioning costs are expected to be Rs. 399,300.
The company uses a discount rate of 10%.
Required:
a) Draw up a P.V table showing the P.V of the future costs on January 20X1 and at the end of each
year together with the annual movements.

Reimbursement: [Para 53]


Reimbursement means amount incurred is expected to be recovered.
It occurs when, for example, a retailer offers a guarantee to its customer, but where the manufacturer in turn
offers the retailer a counter-guarantee.

Expected reimbursement from the manufacturer (or other supplier) should:


 Only be recognized if it is virtually certain that the reimbursement will be received; and
 Should be recognized as a separate asset.
Scenario 1: There is a warranty agreement between manufacturer and customer:
In the instance where the retailer does not the offer a guarantee for faulty goods, but the manufacturer does,
faulty goods would be returned to the retailer who would then send the goods back to the manufacturer who
would then replace the goods. In this case, the retailer should not make a provision for any guarantee since
no guarantee was offered by the retailer; the retailer has no obligation, but is merely acting as an agent
between the customer and manufacturer. In such a case there is no question of any reimbursement as well.
Scenario 2: there is a warranty agreement between retailer and customer. In addition, retailer has a
counter warranty agreement with manufacturer:
A retailer may offer its customers a guarantee that is either partially or fully covered by the manufacturer.
In this case, since the retailer offers the guarantee, the retailer should make a provision for the total expected
costs of fulfilling the guarantee despite the fact that the retailer may then return the goods to the
manufacturer for a full or partial refund. There could be following three possibilities:
a) If reimbursement is virtually certain than recognize a separate receivable, which should not be set off
against the provision for the total expected costs of fulfilling the guarantee. Although the resultant asset
and liability should not be set off against each other, the income and expense may be in the Statement
of Comprehensive Income. [Para 54]
b) If reimbursement is probable, then disclose in notes to financial statements.
c) If reimbursement is only possible, then ignore the reimbursement.

Example: Reimbursements
A retailer company sells goods to its customers that are guaranteed.
Required:
State whether the retailer must raise a provision for the cost of meeting future guarantee obligations:
A. The retailer company provides the guarantee.
B. The manufacturer provides the guarantee. The retailer is not liable in any way.

452
C. The manufacturer provides the guarantee but the retailer company provides a guarantee irrespective of
whether the manufacturer honors his guarantee.
D. The manufacturer and retailer company provides a joint guarantee and jointly & severally accept
responsibility for the guarantee.
E. The manufacturer and retailer company provide a joint guarantee, whereby they share the costs of
fulfilling the guarantee. The retailer is not liable for amounts that the manufacturer may fail to pay.
Solution:
A. The retailer has the obligation and must therefore raise the provision.
B. The manufacturer has the obligation. The retailer has no obligation. No provision should be raised.
C. The retailer must raise a provision for the full cost of the provision and must recognize a separate
reimbursement asset to the extent that it is virtually certain to receive the reimbursement.
D. The portion of the costs that the retailer is expected to pay is recognized as a provision, whereas the
portion of the costs that the manufacturer is expected to pay is disclosed as a contingent liability in case
the manufacturer does not honor his obligation.
E. The portion of the costs that the retailer is expected to pay is recognized as a provision. A contingent
liability is not recognized for the portion for the costs that the manufacturer is expected to pay since the
retailer has no obligation to pay this amount in the event that the manufacturer does not honor his
obligation.

 The amount Recognized as reimbursement shall not be more than the amount of provision.

Example: Reimbursement

A retailer company estimates that it will cost Rs. 100,000 to fulfill its obligation in respect of the guarantees
offered to its customers. The manufacturer, however, offers a guarantee to the retailer company.
Required:

Warranty Expense 100,000
Provision for warranty 100,000
Provision for the cost of fulfilling guarantees

Receivable from supplier 100,000


Warranty expense 100,000
Provision for guarantee reimbursements
B
The journal entries will be same as in scenario A because the reimbursement asset is not allowed to be
measured at more than amount of the provision.
Contingent Asset:
“It is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed by the future
events not wholly within the control of entity (e.g. a possible court decision in our favour)”.
Recognition Criteria:
Where the flow of economic benefits from a Contingent asset is:
 Possible or remote then the Contingent assets is simply ignored.
 Probable, a Contingent asset would be disclosed (if material) and
 Virtually Certain The asset is no longer considered to be a Contingent asset and should therefore be
recognized.
Changes in Provisions: [Para 59]
Provision should be reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjust to reflect the best estimate.

453
Provision is estimated based on circumstances in existence at the time of making the provision. As
circumstances change, the amount of the provision must be reassessed and increased or decreased as
considered necessary. This adjustment is made prospectively (as a change in accounting estimate).
Example:
Cash purchases price (1st January 20x1) 450,000
Future decommissioning cost (the outflow expected on 31st December 20x3) as assessed
399,300
on 1st January 20x1
Discount rate is 10%
Depreciation straight line to nil residual values is 3 years
During 20x2, it was established that due to unforeseen prices increases, the expected future cost of
decommissioning will be Rs. 665,500.
Required:
Draw up a present value table showing the present value of the future costs on January 20x1 and the end
of each subsequent year together with the annual movement.
Show all related entries in T-account format.

Uses of Provisions: [Para 61]


A provision shall be used only for expenses for which it was created.
Other specific Issues:
Contracts:
Costs that have been contractually committed to but not yet incurred in the current year should not be
recognized as a liability since these are considered to be future costs e.g contract for future capital
expenditures which are only disclosed in notes. One exception to this rule is an onerous contract.
Onerous Contract:
“An onerous contract is one where the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract
exceed the benefits expected to be derived from the contract”.
In this case, the unavoidable costs should be provided for. The unavoidable costs (as per IAS-37) are
the Lower of:
 The cost of fulfilling the contract and
 The compensation or penalties that would be incurred if the contract were to be cancelled. [Para 68]
Example: Onerous Contract
Sillium Ltd entered into a contract to perform certain services.
 The total contract price is Rs. 80,000
 The estimated costs of fulfilling these contractual obligations have been recently reassessed to be Rs.
140,000. No work has yet been done
 A penalty of Rs. 30,000 is payable if the contract is to be cancelled.
Required:
Process the required journal entry.
Solution:
Contract cost 30,000
Provision for Onerous contract 30,000
Minimum cost related to an onerous contract: the cost to exist is Rs. 30,000
Whereas the expected loss is Rs. 60,000 (140,000 – 80,000)
Future Operating Losses: [Para 63]
A provision shall not be recognized for future operating losses.
A company may forecast that it will make a substantial operating loss in the next year or years. Provision
cannot be made for future operating losses because they arise from future events and not past events.
Important Consideration:
The past event must:
 Exist independent of the entity’s future actions, i.e. if the company closed down today, would the
obligation still exist: and
 Always include another party (3rd party) besides the entity. The standard does, however, state that
this other party does not need to be known. (i.e. it could be the public at large). For example, goods
sold on warranty to several customers.
This means that a decision made at a board meeting would not lead to a present obligation because this
event does not involve a third party and is not separate from the entity’s future actions (its future actions
could be changed if the board later decides to change its mind). If, however it is communicated then a
provision may be recognized.
Disclosures:
Provision: For each class of provision; disclose the followings:

455
 Opening balance
 Additions due to change in estimates
 Provisions used
 Additions due to passage of time
 Unused amount reversed
 Closing balance
In addition, for each significant provision, following shall be disclose in notes to financial statements
1) Brief description of nature
2) Indication of uncertainties
3) Possibility of any reimbursement (If any).
Contingent Liabilities: For each class of contingent liability:
 A brief description of nature
 Estimate of financial effect
 Indication of uncertainties
 Probability of reimbursement (if any)
Contingent Asset: Where contingent asset is to be disclosed, the following information is to be provided:
 A brief description of the nature of contingent asset
 An estimate of financial effect.
Restructuring Provisions: [Para 72,80 & 81]
Restructuring is defined in IAS-37 as:
 A program that is planned and controlled by management: and
 Materially changes either:
- The scope of a business undertaken by an entity: or
- The manner in which that business is conducted.
Restructuring occurs when for example, a line of business is sold (e.g. Nestle sells a factory) or there is a
change in the management structure. In both cases, there will be a variety of costs involved: for example,
retrenchment (termination benefits) packages will probably need to be paid out and in the case of the sale
of the factory, there may be costs incurred in the removal of certain machinery.
The same definition and recognition criteria must be met before making a provision for the costs of
restructuring although IAS-37 provides further criteria to assist in determining whether the definition and
recognition criteria have been met. These extra criteria are:
(i) There must be a detailed formal plan that identifies at least the following:
- The business or part of the business affected:
- The principal location affected:
- The location, function and approximate number of employees who will be compensated for
terminating their services;
- The expenditure that will be undertaken;
- When the plan will be implemented; and
(ii) The entity must have raised valid expectations in those affected before the end of the reporting period
that it carries out restructuring, by either having:
- Started to implement the plan; or
- Announced its main features to those affected by it.
Costs of restructuring a business should provide for costs for only those costs that are directly associated
with the restructuring, being:
 Those that are necessary; and
 Not associated with the ongoing activities of the entity (future operating costs are not part of the provision,
for example; retaining and relocation costs for continuing staff, investment in new systems, marketing
etc.)
Example: Restructuring Cost
A few days before year end, D Ltd announced its intention to close its shoe factory within six months of
year end. There is a detailed formal plan that lists, amongst other things, the expected cost of closure:

456
 Retrenchment packages (means termination benefits) costs Rs. 1,000,000
 Retraining the staff members who will be relocated to other factories Rs. 500,000
 Loss on sale of factory assets Rs. 100,000
Required:
Process the journal entry.
Solution:
Restructuring costs 1,000,000
Provision for restructuring costs. 1,000,000
Contingent Liability is a
1. Possible obligation from the past events, whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or
nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events.
2. Present obligation from the past events that is not recognized because the recognition criteria are not
met.
Example of contingent liability:
At the year-end Omnicorn is defending itself in a court case. If Omnicorn loses, then it will have to pay out
Rs 3 million in fines and court fees. If they win then they will not have to pay anything. Their lawyers have
advised them that the verdict could go either way.
The Rs 3 million fine is a possible obligation arising out from the past event (otherwise they would not have
been in court at the yearend). But the obligation will only be confirmed by the verdict of the court. The
jury’s verdict is beyond the control of Omnicorn.

Omnicorn will not recognize the Rs 3 million. Instead it will disclose the detail of court case and the
amounts involved in the “Notes to the Financial Statements”
For example, in notes a disclosure of contingent liability will look like as follows:
“Company is defending a court case. In the opinion of the lawyer its outcome is uncertain because it is
dependent on court verdict. Therefore, a provision has not been recognized. If the company losses the case,
it may have to pay approximately Rs 3 million in fines.” There is no possibility of any reimbursement.

457
Events after the Reporting Period (IAS-10)
Some legal requirements in Pakistan relating to this topic
1. Every company in Pakistan is required to conduct an AGM of its shareholders within a period of
120 days following the close of its financial year.
2. One agenda item of AGM is to discuss and approve the financial statements.
3. At least 21 days before AGM a notice of AGM along with a signed copy of financial statements
should be dispatched to shareholders.

Overview:
Although one might assume that events that occur after the current year end should not be taken into account
in the current year’s financial statements, this is not always the case.
Events after the reporting period are defined in IAS-10 are:
 Those events, both favorable or unfavorable,
 That occurs between the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are
authorized for issue.
Events after the Reporting Period

Adjusting Events Non-Adjusting Events


Assume that an entity has a December year end and that the financial statements for 20x1 were completed
and ready for authorization on 25th March 20x2. In this case, the period 1st January 20x2 to 25th March
20x2, is the post-reporting date period’, and events taking place during this period need to be carefully
analyzed in terms of this standard into one of two categories:
 Adjusting events and
 Non-adjusting events.
Definition
Events after the reporting period are those events, Favourable and unfavorable, that occur between the end
of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Two types of events can be defined as:
a) Those that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period (adjusting
events after the reporting period); and
b) Those that are indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting period (non--adjusting events
after the reporting period).
Date of authorization
IAS 10 explains that the process involved in authorizing the financial statements for issue will vary
depending upon the management structure, statutory requirements and procedures followed in preparing
and finalizing the financial statements.
In Pakistan, the financial statements must be approved by the board of directors of the company and signed
on behalf of the board of directors by the chief executive and at least one director of the company, and in
case of a listed company also by the chief financial officer. The date of approval by members in annual
general meeting is not the date of authorisation.

Events after the reporting period include all events up to the date when the financial statements are
authorized for issue, even if those events occur after the public announcement of profit or of other
selected financial information.

Examples
The management of an entity completes draft financial statements for the year to 30 June 20X2 on 31
August 20X2. On 18 September 20X2, the board of directors reviews the financial statements and
authorizes them for issue. The entity announces its profit and selected ‘other financial information’ on 19
September 20X2. The financial statements are made available to shareholders and others on 1 October

458
20X2. The shareholders approve the financial statements at their annual meeting on 24 October 20X2 and
the approved financial statements are then filed with SECP/registrar on 20 November 20X2.
Required
What is date of authorization for issue of financial statements?
Answer
The financial statements are authorised for issue on 18 September 20X2 (date of board of directors
authorisation for issue).

Examples
1. Statement of financial position date is 30-6-2014. As on reporting date there is stock costing Rs 75,000.
On July 5th, 2014 stock is damaged due to rains because of which it is sold for Rs 5,000 on 10 th July,
2014.
Ans. This loss in value of stock is a non-adjusting event because the condition of loss do not exist at the
reporting date. It should however be disclosed in notes if considered material.
2. Statement of financial position date is 30-6-2014. Suppose stock costing Rs 100,000 was damaged on
June 25th, 2014. It is sold on 8th July, 2014 for Rs 20,000.
Ans. Condition of loss existed at the reporting date, therefore it is an adjusting event. Loss of Rs 80,000
should be recorded at reporting date by measuring the stock at 20,000.
3. On 20th June, 2014 factory of a debtor is destroyed by fire. On 20th July 2014, court declared the
customer insolvent and he is not able to pay anything against his debts. As on reporting date, Rs 5
million was receivable.
Ans. Condition of loss existed at reporting date therefore it is an adjusting event. Loss of Rs 5 million
should be provided in the financial statements for the year ended 30th June, 2014.
4. Example of discovery of fraud after the reporting date which existed at the reporting date.
Adjusting Events:
Adjusting events are defined in IAS-10 as:
Those that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period. Adjusting events
are taken into account (adjusted for) when preparing the current year’s financial statements.
Example: Events after the Reporting Date
A debtor that owed New-year Limited Rs. 100,000 at 31st December 20x2.
 Had his factory destroyed in a fire and as a result, filed for insolvency:
 A letter from the debtor’s lawyers to state that they will probably pay 30% of the balance was received
in February 20x3
 The financial statements are not yet authorized for issues
 The fire occurred during December 20x2
Required:
Explain whether the above event should be adjusted for or not in the financial statements of New-year
limited as at 31st December 20x2. If the event is adjusting provide the journal entries.
Solution:
The event that resulted in the debtor to become insolvent was the fire, which happened before year end.
This is therefore an adjusting event. The adjustment would be as follows:
Bad Debts 70,000
Allowance for bad debts 70,000
Expected loss on debtor: (100,000 x 70%)
Please note that the event need to not to be unfavorable to be an adjusting event, For example, a debtor that
was put into provisional liquidation at year end may reverse the liquidation proceedings during the post-
reporting date period, in which case it may be considered appropriate to exclude the value of this account
from the estimated doubtful debts and thus increase the value of the debtors at year end.
Non-Adjusting Events after the Reporting Period:
Non-adjusting events after the reporting period are defined in IAS-– 10 as:
 Those that are indicative of the condition that arose after the reporting period.

459
 Non-adjusting events are not taken into account (adjusted for) when preparing the current year’s
financial statements, but may need to be disclosed if considered material.
 If the event gives information about a condition that only developed after year end, then this event has
obviously no connection with the financial statements that are being finalized. If, however, the event is
so material that non-disclosure thereof would affect the user’s understanding of the financial statements,
then, although the event is a non-adjusting one, disclosure of the event may be appropriated.
Example: Event after the Reporting Period
A debtor that owed New year Limited Rs. 100,000 31st December 20x2 (year-end) had their factory
destroyed in a fire.
 As a result, this debtor filed for insolvency and will probably pay 30% of the balance owing. A letter
from the debtor’s lawyers to this effect was received by New Year Limited in February 20x3
 The financial statements are not yet authorized for issue.
 The fired occurred during January 20x3
Required:
Explain whether the above event should be adjusted for or not in the financial statements of New year
Limited as at 31st December 20x2. If the event is adjusting provide the journal entries.
Solution:
The event that caused the debtor to go insolvent was the fire, which happened after year end. This is
therefore a non-adjusting event. Disclosure of this may be necessary if the amount is considered to be
material.
Dividends: [Para 12]
Dividends relating to the period under review that are declared during the post-reporting date period must
not be recognized (adjusted for) since they do not meet the criteria of a present obligation. They do not
reflect a present obligation because the obligation event is the declaration and where this declaration does
not occur before year end, it is not a past event. These must be disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements.
Going Concern Assumption: [Para 14] An entity will continue its business in the foreseeable future
(normally 12 months after the reporting date) and has neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation
or cease trading.
i) If business is going concern than prepare the financial statements according to the requirements of
IFRS.
ii) If going concern assumption is no longer valid then financial statement shall be prepared on the basis
of market values and settlement values rather than according to relevant IFRS requirements.
The going concern assumption
A deterioration in operating results and financial position after the end of the reporting period may
indicate that the going concern presumption is no longer appropriate.
There are a large number of circumstances that could lead to going concern problems.
Example
Suppose government banned the products manufactured by the company after the reporting date but before
the date of authorization of financial statements.
It is a non-adjusting event according to the previous discussion. However, if a non-adjusting event affects
the going concern assumption of the entity, then it is treated as an adjusting event. Therefore, financial
statement should be prepared according to the market and settlement values on the reporting date.
This is one important exception to the normal rule that the financial statements reflect conditions as at the
end of the reporting period.
For example:
 The financial difficulty of a major customer leading to their inability to pay their debt to the agreed
schedule if at all.
 An event leading to a crucial non-current asset falling out of use. This might cause difficulties in
supplying customers and fulfilling contracts.
 Shortages of important supplies
 The emergence of a highly effective competitor.

460
Disclosure: [Para 17]
The following information should be disclosed:
 The Date that the Financial Statements Were Authorized for Issue;
 The Person or Persons who authorized the issue of the financial statements;
 For each material category of non-adjusting event the end of the reporting period a narrative description
of:
 The nature of the event; and
 The estimated financial effect or a statement that such an estimate is not possible
Example of Adjusting Events: [Para 9]
 Settlement of a court case after the reporting period that confirm that present obligation existed at the
reporting date.
 Sale of inventories after the reporting date may give evidence about NRV at the reporting date (if the
condition or price of stock has not changed between the reporting date and date of sale)
 Determining after the reporting date of cost of asset purchased or proceeds from sale before reporting
date.
 The discovery of fraud or error after the reporting date that shows that Financial Statement were
incorrect at the reporting date.
Example of Non-Adjusting Events: [Para 22]
 Destruction of plant by fire after the reporting date.
 Change in market value of shares after the reporting date.
 Commencement of major litigations after the reporting date.
 Acquisition or disposal of asset after the reporting date.

Q.1 The following information pertains to Skyline Limited (SL) for the financial year ended December 31,
2010:
(i) A customer who owed Rs. 1 million was declared bankrupt after his warehouse was destroyed by fire
on February 10, 2011. It is expected that the customer would be able to recover 50% of the loss from
the insurance company.
(ii) An employee of SL forged the signatures of directors and made cash withdrawals of Rs. 7.5 million
from the bank. Of these, Rs. 1.5 million were withdrawn before December 31, 2010. Investigations

Q.3 The following information pertains to Qallat Industries Limited (QIL) for its financial year ended June 30,
2010:
(i) QIL sells all its products on one-year warranty which covers all types of defects. Previous history
indicates that 2% of the products contain major defects whereas 10% have minor defects. It is
estimated that if major defects were detected in all the products sold, repair cost of Rs. 150 million
would result. If minor defects were detected in all products sold, repair cost of Rs. 70 million would
result. Total sales for the year are amounted to Rs. 830 million.
(ii) On July 18, 2010, QIL was sued by an employee claiming damages for Rs. 6 million on account of
an injury caused to him due to alleged violation of safety regulations on the part of the company,
while he was working on the machine on June 15, 2010. Before filing the suit, he contacted the
management on June 29, 2010 and asked for compensation of Rs. 4 million which was turned down
by the management. The lawyer of the company anticipates that the court may award compensation
ranging between Rs. 1.5 million to Rs. 3 million. However, in his view the most probable amount
is Rs. 2 million.

462
(iii) On November 1, 2009 a new law was introduced requiring all factories to install specialized safety
equipment within four months. The Equipment costing Rs. 5.0 million was ordered on December
15, 2009 against 100% advance payment but the supplier delayed installation to July 31, 2010. On
August 5, 2010 the company received a notice from the authorities levying a penalty of Rs 0.4
million i.e.
Rs 0.1 million for each month during which the violation continued. QIL has lodged a claim for
recovery of the penalty from the supplier of the equipment.

June 30, 2010. Support your answer in the light of relevant International Accounting Standards and
quantify the effect where possible. [QB# 10.7]
Q.4 Akber Chemicals (Pvt.) Limited is engaged in the business of manufacture and sale of different type of
chemicals. The following transactions have not yet been incorporated in the financial statements for the
year ended June 30, 2008:
(i) On June 15, 2008, one of its tankers, carrying chemicals fell into a canal, thus polluting the water.
The company has never faced such a situation before. The company has neither any legal obligation
to clean the canal nor does it have any published environmental policy. In a meeting held on July.
26, 2008 the Board of Directors decided to clean the canal, which is estimated to cost Rs. 5.5
million.
(ii) During the second week of July 2008, a significant decline in the demand for company’s products
was observed which also led to a decrease in net realizable value of finished goods. It was estimated
that goods costing Rs. 25 million as at June 30, 2008 would only fetch Rs. 23 million.
(iii) On June 21, 2008, a customer lodged a claim of Rs. 2 million as a consignment dispatched on June
1, 2008 was not according to the agreed specifications. The company’s inspection team found that
this defect arose because of inferior quality of raw materials supplied by the vendor. On June 28,
2008, the company lodged a claim for damages of Rs. 5.0 million, with its vendor, which include
reimbursement of the cost of raw materials. The company anticipates that it will have to pay
compensation to its customer and would be able to recover 50% of the amount claimed from the
vendor.
Required:
Discuss how Akber Chemicals (Pvt.) Limited would deal with the above situations in its financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 2008. Explain your point of view with reference to the guidance
contained in the International Financial Reporting Standards. [QB# 10.6]

Q.5 Blossom Limited is a large distributor of fresh flowers. The company has large contracts to supply florists
and corporate event coordinators throughout the country. The financial director and his staff are in the
process of preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 20X8.
The following events took place between the reporting date and the date of authorization for issue of the
financial statements:
a) It was discovered that a customer, Violet Florists, who owed Rs 100,000 at year-end was declared
insolvent on 15 January 20X9 after its premises burnt down over the previous weekend. The premises
were completely destroyed and were not insured.
b) Legal action was brought against Blossom Limited for delivering old flowers to an event coordinator
who needed them for a government function that hosted foreign heads of state on 23 December 20X8.
The claim is for Rs 10,000. Blossom Limited’s lawyers believe it is highly likely that Blossom Ltd
will have to pay Rs 10,000.
c) Flowers in stock often pass their sell-by date before they are sold and are left in the corner of the store
room. At the year-end stock count on 31 December, some old flowers were inadvertently included in
stock at their cost of Rs 5,000. They will never be sold by Blossom Limited.
d) There was a burglary at Blossom Limited’s premises on 2 January 20X9 and pesticide and insecticide
to the value of Rs 10,000 was stolen. Such items are included in consumable stores.

Q.6 Flyby night Limited is a delivery company that delivers packages between Durban and Johannesburg on an
overnight basis. During the past few years, the trucks have suffered a number of mechanical failures and an
increasing number of accidents. In order to reduce the cost of travelling by road, the company purchased
an aero plane at a cost of Rs 4 500,000. As a condition to its continued use, the aero plane requires a major
inspection every 10,000 flying hours. The aero plane had flown 4,000 hours since its last major inspection
on the date of purchase and has flown 273 hours since the date of purchase. Flyby night Limited has
estimated that the next major inspection is expected to cost Rs 500,000 (based on the aero plane’s previous
major inspection, which cost the seller Rs 420,000).
The following entry has been processed;
Major inspection(Asset) 500,000
Provision for major inspection (Liability) 500,000
Required:
Analyze and discuss the accounting treatment of the major inspection. Your analysis should include a
discussion of a liability, a provision and an asset.

Q.7 Batter Sea Shipping Limited is a South African shipping company that transports crude oil from Saudi
Arabia to South Africa. On 28 September 20X9 one of the company’s oil tankers was damaged in a violent
storm off St Lucia on the KwaZulu Natal coastline (South Africa) and started leaking oil.
Management contracted a specialist repair contractor to repair the damage temporarily at sea, in order to
prevent the oil from leaking further. The necessary repairs were carried out on 29 September 20X9 at a cost
of Rs 365 000, but not yet paid.
The tanker was then sailed to Durban harbor, South Africa, where the cost of repairing it was assessed to
be Rs 2 750 000. Management entered into a contract on 12 October 20X9 to repair the ship at the harbor
dry dock. The cost of the repairs would be financed by a loan from the bank.
The oil spill affected a 15 kilometer stretch of coastline and by 29 September 20X9 there had been a huge
outcry from the general public, as well as environmentalists who were concerned about the damage to an
area of such environmental significance. In light of this, the managing director made a public announcement
on 30 September 20X9, on television and in the newspapers, of the company’s intention to clean up the
entire area affected by the spill.
Clean up of tire environment would only commence once an expert team of environmentalists had assessed
the extent of the damage and the most effective method of removing the spilt oil. On 20 October 20X9
management engaged a team to perform this assessment. The assessment will be available before 31
October 20X9.
The company’s financial year end is 30 September and the financial statements are scheduled to be
approved on 15 November20X9.
Required:
(i) Discuss how the directors of Batter Sea Shipping Limited should account for and disclose in the
financial statements for the year ended 30 September 20X9 in accordance with the framework and IAS
37.
a) the repairs at sea
b) the repairs at the dry dock, and
c) the cost of cleaning up the environment
(ii) Discuss the disclosure requirements of provision in IAS-37.

Q.8 Leo Limited leases an industrial site close to a game reserve. The company recently obtained approval for
heavy plant and machinery to operate on the site for a period of five years. The approval is in terms of

464
license granted by the Minister of Environmental Affair approved the licensee because the main activity of
Leo Limited is the production of environmental friendly paper from recycled material
The plant and machinery was purchased on 1 October 20X2 for Rs 1,000,000. Installation costs of Rs 175
480 were incurred and paid over the months of October, November and December of 20X2. The plant and
machinery was in a condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by
management on 1 January 20x3
The plant and machinery has an estimated useful life of five years with no residual value. In terms of the
license, Leo Limited is obliged to dismantle the plant and machinery and restore the area at the end of its
useful life. Future decommissioning costs are expected to be Rs 120,000. The company uses a discount rate
of 10% to calculate the present value of the decommissioning cost.
The financial accountant prepared the Following schedule reflecting the unwinding of the discounted
decommissioning costs:

Q.9 Company prepares its financial statements to 31 December each year. During the years ended 31 December
2000 and 31 December 2001, the following event occurred.
Company is involved in extracting minerals in a number of different countries. The process typically
involves some contamination of the site from which the minerals are extracted. Company makes good this
contamination only where legally required to do so by legislation passed in the relevant country.
The company has been extracting minerals in Copperland since January 1998 and expects its site to produce
output until 31 December 2005. On December2000, it came to the attention of the directors of company
that the government of Copperland was virtually certain to pass legislation requiring the making good of
mineral extraction sites. The legislation was duly passed on 15 March 2001. The directors of company
estimates that the cost of making good the site in Copperland will be Rs 2 million. This estimate is - the
actual cash expenditure that will be incurred on 31 December 2005.
Required
Compute the effect of the estimated cost of making good the site on the financial statements of company
for both of the years ended 31 December 2000 and 2001. Give full explanations of the figures you compute;
The annual discount rate to be used in any relevant calculations is 10%. The relevant discount rates at 10%
are:
 Year 4 at 10% = 0.683
 Year 5 at 10% = 0.621

Q.10The following events are under consideration for finalization of the financial statements of Galaxy Super
Stores Limited (GSSL) for the year ended 31 December 2013.

465
i. 15% of the goods sold by GSSL in December 2013 were returned in January 2014. It was
determined that the return was due to a manufacturing defect. Cost of removing the defect is
recoverable from the manufacturer.
ii. GSSL owns 150,000 shares of a listed company whose price on 31 December 2013 was Rs. 190
per share. In January 2014, after the government’s announcement of new trade policy, the share
price decreased by Rs. 40.
iii. A customer who owed Rs. 35 million as at 31 December 2013 was declared bankrupt on 10 January
2014.
iv. In January 2014, after the introduction of a new version of a mobile phone, GSSL reduced the
prices of the previous versions significantly.
v. In March 2013, GSSL issued a guarantee against a loan obtained by its subsidiary, RAY Limited
(RL) amounting to Rs. 40 million. In January 2014, the factory of RL was destroyed in a fire and
RL will not be able to repay the loan amount.
Required:
Describe how each of the above issues should be dealt with in the financial statements for the year ended
31 December 2013. Support your answer in the light of relevant International Financial Reporting
Standards.
Note:
 If the date of authorization of financial statements is not available; then assume financial statements are
not yet authorized.
 If the date of event because of which customer went bankrupt is not available; then assume that event
occurred before the reporting date.
 If the date of event because of which inventories are sold at below NRV after the reporting date is not
available; then assume that event occurred before the reporting date

466
Solutions
A.1
(I) Although the debt owing by the customer existed at reporting date, the inability of the customer to
pay did not exist at reporting date. This condition only arose in January 2011 after the fire.
Thus, this is a non-adjusting event. However, if it is material for the financial statements, the
following disclosure should be made.
 Nature of the event
 An estimate of its financial effect
(II) Amount withdrawn before year end i.e. Rs. 1.5 million is an adjusting event as it existed at year end
but discovered after year end. However, since 60% has been recovered subsequently, Rs. 0.6 million
would be provided.
Loss 1.5
Cash 1.5
Receivable 0.9
Loss 0.9
Further withdrawal of Rs. 6.0 million is a non-adjusting event as it occurred after year end. However,
if considered material following disclosures should be made:
 Nature of the event
 The gross amount of loss
 The amount recovered subsequently

(III) SL should not recognize the contingent gain until it is realized. However, if recovery of damages is
probable and material to the financial statements, SL should disclose the following facts in the
financial statements:
 Brief description of the nature of the contingent asset
 An estimate of the financial effect.

(IV) SL should make a provision of the expected amount i.e. Rs. 1.2 million (Rs. 1.0 million x 60% +
Rs. 1.5 million x 40%) because
 it is a present obligation as a result of past event;
 it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligations; and
 a reliable estimate can be made of the amount
In addition, SL should disclose the following in the notes to the financial statements:
 Brief nature of the event
 The possibility of other relevant amount
 An indication of the uncertainties relating to the amount or timing of any outflow.
A.2
(I) Since the event which caused the inventory to be sold at a loss occurred after the year end, it is non-
adjusting event. However, the effect of the event should be disclosed in the financial statements for
the year ended June 30, 2010.
(II) It is an adjusting event in accordance with the requirement of IAS-10. The debtor’s balance should
be written down by 80% amount.
(III) It is non-adjusting event as the subsequent reduction in price is due to an event, introduction of
competitive product, occurred after the reporting period.
(IV) Since this change was not enacted before the reporting date, it is a non-adjusting event. However, a
disclosure should be made for this change.
(V) Since the declaration was announced after the year-end and there was no obligation at year-end it is
a non-adjusting event. Details of the dividend declaration must, however, be disclosed.
A.3
(I) Provision must be made for estimated future claims by customers for goods already sold.

467
The expected value i.e. Rs. 10 million ([Rs. 150m x 2%] + [Rs. 70m x 10%]) is the best estimate of
the provision.
(II) A provision is to be made by QIL against a contingent liability as:
a. There is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; i.e. accident
occurred on June 15, 2010.
b. It is probable that outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and
c. A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount of provision shall be Rs. 2.0 million i.e. the most probable amount as determined by
the lawyer.
(III) A provision of Rs 0.4 million is required in relation to penalty for March 1 to June 30, 2010 because
t the reporting date there is a present obligation in respect of a past event.
The reimbursement of penalty amount from the vendor shall be recognized when and only when it
is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received if the entity settles the obligation. The
reimbursement should be treated as a separate asset in the balance sheet. However, in profit and loss
statement, the expense relating to a provision may be netted off with the amount recognized as
recoverable, if any.
A.4
(I) The event is the accident and since it happened before year end it is a past event. There is, however,
no present obligation since:
 There is no legal requirement
 There is no constructive obligation to rehabilitate the river since neither:
 A public statement has been made and nor
 There is an established pattern of past practice since this was its first accident like this.
Although the company intends to clean-up the river and even has a reliable estimate of the costs
thereof, no provision should be recognized because an obligating event is one that results in the
entity having no realistic alternative but to settle the obligation. If the company can still change
its intension. If, however, this intension has been announced then there is a constructive obligation
and a provision should be recognized.
(II) As significant decline occurred after the balance sheet date i.e. these circumstances are not prevailing
at balance sheet date so non-adjusting and hence inventories are not written
down below cost but only disclosure is required:
Disclosure:
Nature of event: decrease in net realizable value stock due to decline in demand.
Amount: Rs. 2 million
(III) As per particular circumstances, it seems that company has to pay the compensation to the customer
so a provision of Rs. 2 million is to be created.
Claim expense 2,000,000
Provision for claim 2,000,000
Secondly, the likelihood of recovery is not virtually certain, therefore it should only be disclosed if
it is probable otherwise ignore.

A.5
a) Although the debt owing by the customers existed at reporting date, the inability of the customers to
pay did not exist at reporting date; this condition only arose in January 2009 after the fire. No journal
entries required.
b) The delivery of old flowers to a customer occurred before the reporting date. Thus the cause for the
court case and expected outflow of Rs 10,000 was already in existence at reporting date. A provision
must be raised for this outflow on 31-12-2008 as it an adjusting post reporting event.

Legal Claim Expense 10,000


Provision For Legal Claim 10,000

468
c) An error has been made in the financial statements; inventory has been overstated by Rs 5,000. The
error was made before reporting date, and thus existed at the reporting date. This is an adjusting post
reporting period event and it must be corrected
Cost of Sales 5,000
Inventory 5,000
d) The burglary and theft of consumable stores occurred after reporting date, thus the over-valuation of
consumable stores on hand was not in existence at reporting date. This is a non-adjusting post
reporting period event, which should be disclosed in notes if considered as material (which should be
disclosed in notes if considered as material). No journal entry is required.

Flyby Night
Is the future major inspection an asset?
The future major inspection does not, meet the definition of an asset:
 The company does not control a resource since the major inspection has not yet been performed;
 There is no past event since the major inspection is to be performed in the future;
 If there is no resource, there can be no expectation of an inflow of future economic benefits.
Is the future major inspection as a liability?
Similarly, a provision for the future major inspection should not be raised because there is no liability:
 Since the major inspection has not yet occurred, there is no past event;
 Therefore, there is no present obligation at year end (the major inspection could, in fact, be
completely avoided by selling or otherwise disposing off/ abandoning the airplane before the
inspection becomes necessary); and
 Since there is neither a past event nor present obligation, the outflow of future economic benefits
is not yet expected.
Assets – cost of acquisition and significant parts:
 The acquisition of an asset should be measured at the necessary cost incurred in bringing the asset
to a location and condition suitable for its intended use.
 10,000 – 4,000 = 6,000 flying hours available on the date of acquisition.
 Note that the previous major inspection performed should be recognized as a separate component
to the aeroplane asset (i.e. a significant part of) since it is significant in cost and has a different
useful life to the rest of the aeroplane parts.
Asset – subsequent measurement:
The major inspection, which is recognized as a separate significant part, is depreciated as the flying hours
are used up. Thus a ‘major inspection’ asset of Rs 252,000 (Rs 420,000 [cost of previous inspection] x 6000
hrs. / 10,000 hrs.) should be recognized on acquisition date. This will result in the cost of the ‘physical
aeroplane’ asset being Rs 4 248,000 (Rs 4 500,000 – Rs 252,000). The ‘major inspection’ asset will have
been depreciated by Rs 11 466 since purchase date (Rs 252,000 x 273 hours / 6,000 hours). Once the 6,000
flying hours that were available on purchase date are used up, and a new inspection is actually performed,
the previous major inspection cost asset will be derecognized and the new inspection costs will be
capitalised (when the next inspection is performed) and depreciated over the future flying hours.

The journal must be reversed as follows:

a) Repairs at Sea
The cost of repairing the tanker at sea results in a ‘pure’ liability. Applying the definition and recognition
criteria above:
(i) the work was carried out by the special crew on 29 September 20X9, which is classified as a past
event since this date occurs before year end;
(ii) since there is a past event, being the repair carried out on 29 September 20X9, there is a present
legal obligation to pay for these repairs;
(iii) the future, payment of Rs 365 000 is an outflow of economic resources;
(iv) the amount will probably be paid since there is no evidence to the contrary; and
(v) The repair has already been invoiced at Rs 365 000 and is therefore a reliably measure.
A liability of Rs 365 000 should therefore be recognized in the statement of financial position at 30
September 20X9 and an expense of Rs 365 000 included in the statement of comprehensive income for the
year.
b) Repairs at the dry-dock
Batter Sea Shipping need to assess whether the cost of repairs to the tanker in the dry dock meet the
definition of a liability at 30 September 20X9.
The Framework defines a liability as:
(i) a present obligation of the entity
(ii) arising from a past event
(iii) The settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of economic benefits.
As at 30 September 20X9 no work has been performed and therefore there is no past event and consequently
no present obligation has yet arisen. The amount of Rs 2 750 000 would, however, be disclosed in the
commitments note in the annual financial statements, as ‘capital expenditure not yet contracted for. Since
the definition has not been met, the estimated cost of Rs 2 750 000 to repair the tanker once docked may
not be recognized as a liability.
However, impairment test should be performed on tankers at the year end.
c) Cleanup of the environment
Introduction:
It is necessary to determine whether or not the costs of cleaning up the environment meet the definition of
a provision.
IAS 37 defines a provision as.
 a liability
 Of uncertain timing or amount.
The Framework defines a liability as:
• A present obligation of the entity
 arising from a past event
 The settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of resources.
The entity is not legally obliged to rehabilitate the area but the managing director’s announcement in the
press on 30 September 20X9 of the company’s intention to clean up the entire area of the spill, indicates
the company’s acceptance of its responsibility to rehabilitate the area. This action has created a valid
expectation on the part of the public and environmentalists that the company will actually bear these costs.
After making a public announcement, it is unlikely that the company will not clean up the environment; as
such an action would have an adverse effect on their business reputation. Therefore, the announcement
before year-end is the past obligating event that has created a constructive obligation on behalf of the
company to clean up the area.
Past event:
There is a past event since the public statement that obligated the entity was made before year-end.
Expected outflow of future economic benefits:

470
There will be costs incurred from the specialists hired to advise on the extent/ most effective method of
cleaning up to the actual costs of cleaning up.
It is probable that there will be an outflow of resources as a constructive obligation exists and a team of
experts was engaged to assess the extent of the damage and the most effective method of cleaning up the
spill.
A reliable estimate of the cost of the cleanup can be made based on the past experience of the team of
environmentalists. Since this estimate will be available before the financial statements are authorized for
issue, a provision should be recognized in the financial statements of the company at 30 September 20X9.
In effect, the results of the environmental assessment on 31 October 20X9 will be an adjusting post reporting
period event.
1) IAS 37 requires disclosure of the following in respect of a provision
 the amount of the provision made during the period;
 a brief description of the nature of the obligation;
 the expected timing of any resulting outflows of economic benefits; and
 An indication of the uncertainties about the amount or timing of those outflows.
 Possibility of any reimbursement.
A.8
a) Appropriate Accounting Treatment for the cost of Future Decommissioning:
The issue is to determine whether to recognize a provision in respect of future decommissioning costs.
The licence granted allows the operation of the plant and machinery but includes a clause that requires
the entity to dismantle the plant and restore the area in the future. There is therefore a legal obligation
for the costs associated with the future dismantling and restoration.
A past event that leads to present obligation is called as obligating event. The obligating event is the
installation of plant and machinery in terms of this license and thus there is a legal obligation present
at the year end. Since there is a:
i. Past Obligating Event: The installation of plant that leads to present obligation because of license.
ii. There is a probability of cash outflow of resources; and
iii. A reliable estimate can be made (i.e 120,000 but it should be on the basis of present value.)
Therefore, provision should be recognized and must be capitalized as per IAS-16 to the cost of plant
and machinery (because this obligation gives the company access to an inflow of resources from the
related plant and machinery).
Note: Decommissioning and dismantling are two terms that are used frequently in the accounting world
for the de-installation of plant and machinery.

Company should recognize a provision for the estimated costs of making good the site because:
(i) It has a present obligation to incur the expenditure as a result of a past event. In this case the
obligating event occurred when it became virtually certain that the legislation would be passed.
Therefore, the obligation existed at 31 December 20X0, and
(ii) An outflow of resources is probable, and
(iii) It is possible to make a reliable estimate of the amount.
Effect on the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 20X0:
 A provision of Rs 1,242,000 (2,000,000 x 0.621) should be reported as a liability.
 A non-current asset of Rs 1,242,000 is also recognized. The provision results in a corresponding
asset because the expenditure gives the company access to an inflow of resources. There is no effect
on profit or loss for the year.
For the year ended 31 December 20X1:
 Depreciation of Rs 240,400 (1,242,000 x 20%) is charged to profit or loss. The non-current asset
is depreciated over its remaining useful economic life of 5 years from 31 December 20X0 (the site
will cease to produce output on 31 December 20X5).
 Therefore, at 31 December 20X1 the net book value of the non-current asset will be Rs 993,600
(1,242,000 — 248,400) related to restoration cost.
 At 31 December 20X1 the provision will be Rs 1,360,000 (2.000,000 x 0.603).
 The increase in the provision of Rs 24,000 (1,366,000 -1,242,000) is recognized in profit or loss as
a finance cost this arises due to the unwinding of the discount.
A.10
In accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, the given events after the reporting
period would be dealt in the financial statements of GSSL for the year ended 31 December 2013 as
explained under:
a) It is an adjusting event as return of the goods provide evidence that goods were defective at the time of
sale. Therefore, the financial statement should be adjusted by reversing sales and account receivables
and reducing cost of sales by increasing inventory. However, since the cost of removing the defect is
recoverable from the manufacturer, there will be no change in the valuation of defective inventory
(means not at lower of cost and NRV). If it is probable that cost will be recovered, it should be disclosed.

472
b) It is a non-adjusting event as the change in fair value of investments does not normally relate to the
condition of the investments at the end of the reporting period. The change reflects circumstances that
have arisen subsequently. However, if decrease in the value of investments after the reporting period is
material, GSSL should disclose the decrease in the notes to financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2013.
c) It is an adjusting event as declaration of the customer as bankrupt within only 10 days of the yearend
suggests that a loss existed at the end of the reporting period. Therefore, the financial statements should
be adjusted by writing off the debtor’s amount of Rs. 35 million.
d) It is a non-adjusting event as introduction of a new version of mobile phone after the reporting period
is indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting period. Therefore, the price decrease will not
affect NRV of the old version mobile phones on the reporting date.
However, if decrease in the value of the mobile phone inventory after the reporting period is material, GSSL
should disclose the decrease in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.
e) It is a non-adjusting event as the event that caused inability to repay the loan by RL was the fire, which
happened after the reporting date.
However, if the guarantee amount is material, GSSL should disclose the amount in its financial statement
s for the year ended 31 December 2013.

Some other Examples:
Example 1:
A clothing retailer has a policy of taking back items of clothing that customers have purchased, and
refunding the purchase price, simply because the purchaser has changed his or her mind about the item.
The retailer does not have a legal obligation to do this under the consumer protection legislation that applies
in the jurisdiction in which it operates.
If this is the usual practice of a particular retailer, and the retailer’s policy is well known or has been made
known to customers, then a constructive obligation exists whenever a sale is made.
A provision would be recognized for sales returns subject to the other two criteria being satisfied.
Example 2:
Jhang Energy Company operates in a country where there is no environmental legislation. Its operations
cause pollution in this country.
Jhang Energy Company has a widely published policy in which it undertakes to clean up all contamination
that it causes and it has a record of honoring this published policy.
Analysis:
There is an obligating event. Jhang Energy Company has a constructive obligation which will lead to an
outflow of resources regardless of the future actions of the company. A provision would be recognized for
the clean-up subject to the other two criteria being satisfied.
An obligation always involves another party to whom the obligation is owed.
However, it is not necessary to know the identity of that party. It is perfectly possible to have an obligation
to the public at large or to a group of people.
Example 3:
Sheikhupura Household Appliances Corporation gives warranties at the time of sale to purchasers of its
products. Under the terms of the sale contract the company undertakes to make good any manufacturing
defects that become apparent within three years from the date of sale.
In the period it has sold 250,000 appliances and estimates that about 2% will prove faulty.
Analysis:
There is an obligating event being the sale of an item with the promise to repair it as necessary. The fact
that Sheikhupura Household Appliances Corporation does not know which of its customers will seek repairs
in the future is irrelevant to the existence of the obligation.
A provision would be recognized for the future repairs subject to the other two criteria being satisfied.
Example 4:
On 13 December Kasur Engineering decided to close a factory. The closure will lead to 100 redundancies
at a significant cost to the company.
At 31 December no news of this plan had been communicated to the workforce.
Analysis:
There is no obligating event. This will only come into existence when communication of the decision and
its consequences are communicated to the workforce.
Example 5:
Gujrat Prefabricators Limited (GPL) has won a contract to provide temporary accommodation for workers
involved in building a new airport. The contract involves the erection of accommodation blocks on a public
park and two years later the removal of the blocks and the reinstatement of the site.
The blocks have been built and it is now GPL’s year-end.
GPL estimates that the task of removing the blocks and reinstating the park to its present condition might
be complex, resulting in costs with a present value of Rs. 2,000,000, or straightforward, resulting in costs
with a present value of Rs. 1,300,000.
GPL estimates that there is a 60% chance of the job being straightforward.
Should a provision be recognized and if so at what value?
Analysis
Should a provision be recognized?

474
Is there a present obligation as a result of a past Yes. A present obligation arises due to the
event? existence of a contractual term and the building of
the block.
Is it probable that there will be an outflow of Yes. This is certain.
economic benefits to settle the obligation?
Can a reliable estimate be made of the amount of Yes. Data is available.
the obligation?
A provision should be recognized.
How should the provision be measured? (What is the best estimate of expenditure required to settle the
obligation?)
The most likely outcome is that the job will be straightforward. In this case the provision would be
recognized at Rs. 1,300,000.

Example 6:
31 December 2014
A company was sued by a customer in the year ended 31 December 2014.
Legal advice is that the customer is virtually certain to win the case as several similar cases have already
been decided in the favour of the injured parties.
At 31 December 2014, the company’s lawyer was of the opinion that, the cost of the settlement would be
Rs 1,000,000.
A provision is recognized in the amount of Rs 1,000,000 as follows
Debit (Rs.) Credit (Rs.)
Expenses 1,000,000
Provision 1,000,000
31 December 2015
The claim has still not been settled. The lawyer now advises that the claim will probably be settled in the
customer’s favour at Rs 1,200,000.
The provision is increased to Rs 1,200,000 as follows.
Debit (Rs.) Credit (Rs.)
Expenses 200,000
Provision 200,000
31 December 2016
The claim has still not been settled. The lawyer now believes that the claim will be settled at Rs 900,000.
The provision is reduced to Rs 900,000 as follows.
Debit (Rs.) Credit (Rs.)
Provision 300,000

475
Expenses 300,000
The reduction in the provision increases profit in the year and the provision in the statement of financial
position is adjusted down to the revised estimate of Rs 900,000.
31 December 2017
The claim is settled for Rs 950,000. On settlement, the double entry in the ledger accounts will be:
Debit (Rs.) Credit (Rs.)
Expenses 50,000
Provision 900,000
Cash 950,000
The charge against profit on settlement of the legal claim is Rs 50,000.
The provision no longer exists. The total amount charged against profit over the four years was the final
settlement figure of Rs 950,000 (1,000,000 + 200,000 – 300,000 + 50,000).
Example 7:
Nawabsha Clothing has a contract to buy 300 meters of silk from a supplier each month for Rs 3,000 per
meter.
Nawabsha Clothing had a contract with a Dubai retailer to sell each dress for Rs. 5,000 but this retailer has
fallen into liquidation and liquidator has cancelled the contract as they were entitled to do under one of its
clauses.
Nawabsha Clothing cannot sell the dresses to any other customer.
The contract to buy the silk can be cancelled with three months’ notice.
Analysis
The company can cancel the contract but must pay for the next three months’ deliveries:
Cost (300metres × Rs. 3,000 × 3 months) Rs. 2,700,000
A provision should be recognized for this amount immediately as the contract to buy becomes an onerous
contract.
Example 8:
A company is about to begin operating a coal mine. At the end of the reporting period, the mineshaft
(extraction equipment) has been prepared and all the necessary equipment has been constructed and is in
place, but no coal has yet been extracted.
Under local law, the company is obliged to rectify all damage to the site once the mining operation has been
completed (this is expected to be several years from now).
Management estimates that 20% of the eventual costs of performing this work will relate to removing the
equipment and various buildings and the remaining 80% will relate to restoring the damage caused by the
actual extraction of coal.
Analysis
The company has a legal obligation to rectify the environmental damage caused by the actual digging of
the mineshaft and construction of the site. An outflow of economic benefits is probable.
Therefore, the company should recognize a provision for the best estimate of removing the equipment and
rectifying other damage which has occurred to date.
This is expected to be about 20% of the total cost of restoring the site.
Because no coal has yet been extracted, the company has no obligation to rectify any damage caused by
mining. No provision can be recognized for this part of the expenditure (estimated at about 80% of the
total).
Example 9:
Shan Properties owns a series of high rise modern office blocks in several major cities in Pakistan.
The government introduces legislation that requires toughened safety glass to be fitted in all windows on
floors above the ground floor. The legislation only applies initially to new buildings but all buildings will
have to comply within 5 years.
Analysis:
There is no obligating event.

476
Even though Shan Properties will have to comply within 5 years it can avoid the future expenditure by its
future actions, for example by selling the buildings. There is no present obligation for that future
expenditure and no provision is recognized.
Future repairs to assets
Some assets need to be repaired or to have parts replaced at intervals during their lives.
For example, suppose that a furnace has a lining that has to be replaced every five years. If the lining is not
replaced, the furnace will break down.
AS 37 states that a provision cannot be recognized for the cost of future repairs or replacement parts
Instead of recognizing a provision, a company should capitalize expenditure incurred on replacement of an
asset and depreciate this cost over its useful life.
This is the period until the part needs to be replaced again. For example, the cost of replacing the furnace
lining should be capitalized, so that the furnace lining is a non-current asset; the cost should then be
depreciated over five years. (Note: IAS 16: Property, plant and equipment states that where an asset has
two or more parts with different useful lives, each part should be depreciated separately.)
Normal repair costs, however, are expenses that should be included in profit or loss as incurred

Question no 6
The following information pertains to Neptune Limited (NL) which is engaged in the manufacturing
of batteries and chemicals:
(a) In July 2015, NL was sued by a customer who claimed damages of Rs. 2 million on account of supply
of 2000 defective batteries in January 2015. The legal advisor at that time anticipated that it is probable
that the case would be decided in favour of the customer.
In March 2016, an independent team submitted a report to the Court showing that 80% of the batteries
were not faulty and there were minor defects in the remaining batteries. As a result, the company's
lawyer formed the view that it was highly unlikely that the Court would award compensation to the
customer.
On 5 July 2016, the Court decided the suit and ordered NL to replace all (20%) the faulty batteries
supplied to the customer. (05)
(b) In July 2014, NL entered into a two-year contract with a supplier of raw material. With effect from 1
November 2014, the supplier stopped the supply of raw material and demanded price increase of 30%.
Due to stoppage of supply, NL was unable to meet its sales orders. NL filed a suit claiming damages
of Rs. 40 million from the supplier on 15 June 2015. On 30 June 2015, NL’s lawyer anticipated that
NL would be awarded damages up to 60% of its claim. On 15 August 2016 the Court decided the case
in favour of NL and awarded damages of Rs. 30 million to the company. (05)

480
(c) On 30 April 2015, NL’s Board of Directors decided to dispose of the chemical division which was
incurring heavy losses. The decision was made public on 10 December 2015. NL commenced
negotiations with Venus Limited in March 2016. The sale was finally executed on 31 July 2016.
Costs incurred during the months of July and August 2016 in connection with the closure of the
division were as follows:
Rs. in
million
Redundancy cost 10.5
Staff training for relocation to battery segment 3.5
Operating loss from 1 July 2016 till closure of business 2.0
Required:
Discuss giving reasons how each of the above issues should be dealt with in the financial statements of NL

Reporting Standards. (Statements are authorized for issue three months after the year-end) (05)

Question 7
Multan Petrochem Limited (MPL) operates in the oil extraction and refining business and is preparing its
draft financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016. The following information has been
collected for the preparation of the provisions and contingencies notes.
(1) A new site was acquired on 1 January 2015 and is being used as the site for a new oil refinery. Initial
preparation work was undertaken at the site at the start of 2015 and the oil refinery was completed and
ready for use on 31 December 2015. The new refinery was expected to have a useful life of 25 years.
MPL has a well-publicized policy that it will reinstate any environmental damage caused by its
activities. The present value of the estimated cost of reinstating the environment is Rs. 1,300,000 for
damage caused during the initial preparation work. This amount is based on a discount rate of 8%.
(2) An explosion at one of MPL’s oil extraction plants on 1 July 2016 has led to a number of personal injury
claims being made by employees who were injured during the explosion. Five claims have been made
to date but if these claims are successful, it is likely that a further three employees who were also
injured will make a claim. MPL’s lawyers estimate that it is probable that the claims will succeed and
that the estimated average cost of
each payout will be Rs. 150,000. The lawyers have recommended that MPL settles the claims out of
courts quickly as possible at their estimated amount for all eight employees injured to avoid any
adverse publicity. An additional two claims have been made by employees for the stress, rather than
injury, that the explosion has caused them. If these claims were to succeed the lawyers have estimated
that the likely payout would be around Rs. 10,000 per employee. However, the lawyers have stated
that they believe it to be unlikely that these employees will win such a case.
MPL made an insurance claim to try to recover the personal injury costs that it is probable that it will
incur. The claim is now in its advanced stages and the insurance company has agreed to meet the cost
of the claims in full. The insurance company will refund MPL once the claims have been settled.
(3) The future of MPL’s business operations is in doubt following the explosion at the oil extraction
plant. The national press criticized MPL for the way that it handled the problem. To address this, on 1
October 2016 MPL paid Rs. 12,000 to a risk assessment specialist who has recommended introducing
a new disaster recovery plan at an estimated cost of Rs.500,000.
(4) MPL entered into a lease in the previous period for some office space. However, the company’s plans
changed and the office space was no longer required. At 1 January 2016 a correctly calculated
provision had been made for the future outstanding rentals of Rs. 80,000 for the remaining five years.

481
This was based on a discount rate of 8%. The rent paid during the period was Rs. 15,000. In addition,
MPl has signed a sub-lease to rent out the space for the first six months of next year for total rental
income of Rs. 6,000. No other tenants are expected to be found for the office space.
Required:
(a) Prepare the provisions and contingencies notes for inclusion in the financial statements of MPP
for the year ended 31 December 2016.
(b) List the amounts that should be recognized in the statement of profit or loss for the year ended
31 December 2016.
Question no 8
Oval Limited (OL) deals in medicines and surgical instruments. OL is in the process of finalizing its
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018. Following matters are under consideration:
(i) OL sells instruments A-1 and B-1 with 1-year warranty. These units are purchased from a
manufacturer Star Limited (SL). The details of warranty are as under:
A-1: SL provides warranty services to the customers and recovers 50% of the cost from OL.
However, in case of SL’s default, the warranty services would have to be provided by OL.
B-1: OL provides warranty services to the customers and recovers the entire cost from SL. On 31
December 2018, it is estimated that total cost of Rs. 4 million and Rs. 7 million would be incurred in
next year for providing warranty services for A-1 and B-1 respectively sold in 2018.
(ii) In October 2018, OL was sued by a customer for Rs. 18 million on account of supply of substandard
surgical instruments.
By end of the year, OL communicated to the customer via email to pay Rs. 5 million. In respect of
the remaining amount of the claim, OL’s lawyers anticipate that there is 70% probability that the
court would award Rs. 6 million and 30% probability that the amount would be Rs. 4 million.
OL lodged a claim with the supplier in December 2018. The supplier principally accepted the claim
to the extent of Rs. 9 million. However, OL is still negotiating with the supplier and it is probable
that OL would recover a further sum of Rs. 3 million.
(iii) OL has imported 7,000 units of a medicine at a cost of Rs. 70 million. However, in November 2018,
a study was published in a medical journal which reveals that results of an alternate medicine are
much better. At year end, 5000 units were in stock. On 25 January 2019, 4000 units were sold at Rs.
8,000 per unit. OL also paid 10% commission.
Required:
Discuss how the above issues should be dealt with in the financial statements of OL for the year ended 31
December 2018. Support your answers in the context of relevant IFRSs. (12)

Question 9
Sahiwal Transformers Ltd (STL) is organized into several divisions. The following events relate to the year
ended 31 December 2017.
1. A number of products are sold with a warranty. At the beginning of the year the provision stood at Rs.
750,000. A number of claims have been settled during the period for Rs. 400,000.
As at the yearend there were unsettled claims from 150 customers. Experience is that 40% of the
claims submitted do not fulfil warranty conditions and can be defended at no cost.
The average cost of settling the other claims will be Rs. 7,000 each.
2. A transformer unit supplied to Rahim Yar Khan District Hospital exploded during the year. The hospital
has initiated legal proceedings for damages of Rs. 10 million against STL.
STL’s legal advisors have warned that STL has only a 40% chance of defending the claim successfully.
The present value of this claim has been estimated at Rs. 9 million.
The explosion was due to faulty components supplied to STL for inclusion in the transformer. Legal

482
proceedings
have been started against the supplier. STL’s legal advisors say that STL have a very good chance of
winning the case and should receive 40% of the amount that they have to pay to the hospital.
3. On 1 July 2017 STL entered into a two-year, fixed price contract to supply a customer 100 units per month.
The forecast profit per unit was Rs. 1,600 but, due to unforeseen cost increases and production problems,
each unit is anticipated to make a loss of Rs. 800.
Required:
Prepare the provisions and contingencies note for the financial statements for the year ended31 December
2017, including narrative commentary.

483
Answers
Answer No. 1
(a) Claim for supply of inferior quality goods
 Claim to the extent of Rs. 6 million is accepted by the vendor, therefore, a claim would be
recognized as an asset by ZL as it is virtually certain that it will be received.
 For the probable claim amount of Rs. 2.8 million [(10 – 6) × 70%].
a contingent asset amounting to Rs. 2.8 million should also be disclosed, giving a brief
description of the contingent asset at the end of the reporting period.
 Recovery of Rs. 1.2 million (10 – 6) × 30% is not probable (remote), therefore, it would not
be accounted for or disclosed.
(b) Withdrawal of funds from ZL’s bank accounts fraudulently
 Cash withdrawal before 31 December 2014 amounted to Rs. 7 million for ZL’s bank accounts
is an adjusting event as the event existed on 31 December 2014 though it was revealed after
the year end. Cash lost to the extent of 80% is certain to be received, therefore a claim of Rs.
5.6 million (7 x 80%) would be recognized as an asset. Remaining amount of Rs. 1.4 million
(7 x 20) is no more receivable, therefore, it would be charged to profit and loss account for the
year ended 31 December 2014.
Loss 1.4
Receivable 5.6
Bank 7
 Cash withdrawal of Rs. 3 million is a non-adjusting event as it occurred after year end.
However, if the event is considered to be material, a disclosure should be made along with the
expected recovery their against.
(c) Relocation of unit from Sukkur to Karachi
 A provision for restructuring cost is to be recognised, as a formal restructuring plan has been
finalised and approved by the management and a formal public announcement was made prior
to 31 December 2014. Therefore, a constructive obligation has arisen on 1 December 2014.
 However, a provision should only be made for redundancy cost of Rs. 3.58 million as it
pertains to the closing of Sukkur unit.
 Costs for staff training and relocation of staff relate to future conduct of the business and
should not be recorded in the year ended 31 December 2014.
 Salary of the existing operation manager should not be recorded as it is not incremental cost
of restructuring and would be incurred whether relocation takes place or not.
(d) Installation of safety equipment to carrying vehicles of ZL:
 For the year ended 31 December 2014, ZL is not required to make any provision for liability
due to non-installation of safety equipment to its chemical carrying vehicles. As
- There is no law requiring ZL to install the safety equipment.
- There is no constructive obligation to install the safety’ equipment, since ZL has neither
past practice nor any published policy in this respect.

484
 Although, decision has been made on 25 December 2014 to install the safety’ equipment, cost
would only be recorded on actual incurrence of cost, i.e purchase and installation of safety
equipment.
Answer No. 2
Accounting treatment for the issues pertaining to the fire
IAS 37 prescribes the following accounting and disclosure requirements for provisions, contingent
liabilities and contingent assets.
Provisions:
A provision shall be recognized when all of the following conditions are met:
 There is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event.
 It is probable that outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation.
 A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligations.
Reimbursements:
Where some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be reimbursed by another
party:
 The reimbursement shall be recognised where it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received.
 The amount recognized in respect of the reimbursement shall not exceed the amount of provision.
 The reimbursement receivable shall be treated as a separate asset.
Disclosure for contingent liabilities and assets:
Where a disclosure of a contingent liability or a contingent asset is appropriate, for each class of contingent
liability/asset, the following disclosures are required:
 A brief description of the nature of the contingent liability/asset.
 Where practicable: an estimate of its financial effect, and
an indication of uncertainties
 The possibility of any reimbursement.
In view of the above, issues as given would be dealt in QGL’s financial statements as under:
(i) Liability for workers’ compensation and penalty
 All the conditions as mentioned for provisions are met to the extent of Rs. 20 million for the
claims of families of workers and Rs. 10 million for the penalty levied by a government
agency. Therefore, a provision of Rs. 30 million (20 + 10) would be made.
 For the remaining amount of Rs. 65 million (60 + 35 – 30), it is not probable that an outflow
of economic benefits will be required. Therefore, a contingent liability would be disclosed
giving information as per the above discussed requirements.
(ii) Additional compensation for the families of the deceased workers:
The obligation for additional compensation to the families of the deceased workers is neither legal
nor constructive as the matter is still under consideration and no formal announcement was made
that may create a valid expectation. Therefore, no provision or disclosure is required in this respect.
(iii) Insurance claim

485
 As the insurance claim to the extent of Rs. 45 million (60 – 15) is virtually certain to be
received; an insurance claim would be recognised for this amount.
 Where an inflow for the remaining amount of Rs. 15 million is probable, a contingent asset
would be disclosed giving information as per the above requirements.
OR
 Where an inflow for the remaining amount of Rs. 15 million is not probable, no contingent
asset should be disclosed.
(iv) Reduction in future profit by Rs. 10 million for the half year ending 31-12-2014:
No provision or disclosure is required for future operating losses as they arise from future events not
past events.
However, an expectation of future operating losses is an indication that certain assets may be
impaired and it should test these assets for impairment.
Answer No.3
(i)As it is not mentioned in question that it is communicated to sales team before year end, therefore it
would be a non-adjusting event because this bonus payment can be avoided by the future actions of
the TIL’s management and does not meet the definition of obligating event. Therefore, TIL is neither
legally nor constructively obligated to pay the bonus to sales team.
(ii)It is a non-adjusting event because the expected future losses on account of a change in government
policy does not give rise to an obligation at year end.
However, an expectation of future operating losses is an indication that certain assets of the operation
may be impaired and TIL should test these assets for impairment.
(iii)Although the announcement was made after the year end, the condition (non collection for a long
period of time) period that prompted the management to allow cash discount existed at year-end.
Therefore, it is an adjusting event.
TIL should provide the amount of discount availed by the debtors.
(iv)Although the court’s decision was announced after year end, it pertains to past years. Therefore, it is
an adjusting event.
TIL should reverse the amount of provision provided the TIL’s lawyer assures that decision given
by the ITAT will have a no chance; or ‘a remote chance’ of change if the Income Tax Department
appeals against the decision of the Tribunal.
(v)It is a non-adjusting event because the event that caused the debtor to go insolvent was the fire, which
happened after year-end.
(vi) It is a non-adjusting event because the announcement was made after the year end and there was
no obligation at year end.
However, details of declaration of bonus shares must be disclosed.
Answer No. 4
(i) It is a non-adjusting event as introduction of a new version of DVD Player after the reporting period
is indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting period. Therefore, the price decrease will not
affect NRV.
However, if decrease in the value of inventory after the reporting period is material, it should be
disclosed in the financial statements.

486
(ii) The provision should be recognized because the obligating event is the communication of event to
the public which creates a valid expectation that the division will be closed.
However, the provision should only be recognized to the extent of redundancy cost.
IAS prohibits the recognition of future operating losses, staff training and profits on sale of assets.
(ii) Entry
Dr. Cr.
Restructuring expenses Rs. 1.50
Provision for restructuring expenses Rs. 1.50
Additionally, operating loss of Rs. 0.20 million (i.e. 0.80 × 2/8) for 2012 will be disclosed as under:
Disclosures:
Nature of event: Future operating losses will be incurred in 2012.
Amount: Rs. 0.20 million.
(iii) This is a non-adjusting event because the burglary and theft of consumable stores occurred after
reporting date.
However, if the event is material, it should be disclosed in the financial statements unless the loss is
recoverable from the insurance company.
(iii) Disclosures
Nature of event: LED TV sets were stolen from a warehouse.
Amount: Rs. 3 million.
(iv) The drop in value of investment in shares is a non-adjusting event. Since the legislation was
announced after the reporting date, the event is not a past event. However, if the amount is material,
it should be disclosed in the financial statements.
(v) This is an adjusting event as it provides evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting
period. The insolvency of a debtor and the inability to pa usually builds up over a period of time and
it can therefore be assumed that it was facing financial difficulty at year-end. A bad debts expense
of Rs. 1.5 million should be recognized in income statement.
(vi) It is a non-adjusting event because the declaration was announced after the year-end and there was
no obligation at year end. Details of the bonus shares declaration must, however, be disclosed.
Disclosures
Nature of event: Share price declined significantly.
Amount: Decrease in per share value - -------

Industrial Chemicals Limited
Accounting treatment and disclosures for the year ended 30 June 2015
Provisions and contingent liability:
According to IAS 37, a provision shall be recognised when all the following conditions are met:
 There is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event.
 It is probable that outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations.
 A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligations.
In view of the above, a provision shall be made to the extent the above conditions are met as explained
under:

487
(i) Rs. 10.4 million (12 × 60% + 8 × 40%) for the pending claim of the worker as it is most likely that
ICL would require to pay this amount as advised by ICL’s lawyers. For the remaining amount of Rs.
14.6 million (25 – 10.4), it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required.
Therefore, a contingent liability would be disclosed giving information as under:
 A brief nature of the contingent liability.
 Where practicable an estimate of finance liability and indication of uncertainties; and
 The possibility of any reimbursement
(iii) As regards the additional compensation of Rs. 1.5 million under consideration of the management,
neither provision nor disclosure shall be made as the obligation is neither legal nor constructive as
the matter is still under consideration and no formal intimation was made that may create a valid
expectation in this respect.
(ii) Reimbursements:
According to IAS 37, where some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected
to be reimbursed by another party:
 The reimbursement shall be recognized where it is virtually certain that reimbursement will
be received.
 The amount recognized in respect of the reimbursement shall not exceed the amount of
provision.
 The reimbursement receivable shall be treated as a separate asset.
In view of the above, accounting treatment and disclosure in respect of insurance claim will as under:
 Insurance claim to the extent of Rs. 14 million is accepted in principle by the insurance
company; therefore, it will be taken as ‘virtually certain to be received’. However, the
insurance claim to be recognized as receivable shall be restricted to Rs. 10.4 million for which
the provision is recorded.
 Recovery of the insurance claim to the extent of Rs. 2.0 million is probable, therefore, a
contingent asset would be disclosed for this amount giving information as under:
 A brief nature of the contingent asset; and
 An estimate of financial effect and indication of uncertainties.
 If however recovery is not probable, then ignore the remaining 2 million receivable.
Answer 06
2015 Financial Statements:
NL should have made a provision of Rs. 2 million because:
(i) NL had a present obligation as a result of past event;
(ii) The validity of customer's claim was confirmed by the company's lawyer which shows
that an outflow will be required to settle the obligation
(iii) A reliable estimate of the amount of outflow was available.
2016 Financial Statements:
The settlement of the case in July 2016 was an adjusting event for the year ended 30 June 2016. The
provision created in 2015 is to be reversed. The company should revise the provision keeping in view of
the cost of replacement.
2015 Financial Statements:
NL should disclose the recoverable damages as contingent assets because:
a) IFRS does not allow recognition of a contingent asset in the financial statement;
b) an inflow of economic benefits is probable and is confirmed by the company's lawyer
c) NL should disclose the brief description of the nature of contingent assets and an
estimate of their financial effect i.e. inflow of Rs.24 million.

488
2016 Financial Statements:
Since this is an adjusting event as subsequent to year ended 30 June 2016, the court has decided to
award a compensation of Rs. 30 million. After the court's order recovery of Rs. 30 million is virtually
certain, as a result, it is no longer a contingent asset and it should be recognized as an asset.
2015 Financial Statements:
Neither provisions nor disclosure should be made as there is no constructive or legal obligation as on 30
June 2015 because:
 NL has no detailed formal plan for the disposal
 NL has not made its decision public and consequently did not raise any valid expectation in
those affected
2016 Financial Statements:
The provision should be recognized because the obligating event is the communication of the plan to the
public which creates a valid expectation that the division will be closed.
However, the provision should only be recognised to the extent of redundancy cost. IAS-37 prohibits
the recognition of future operating losses and staff training costs.

Environmental damage
The provision in respect of the environmental damage relates to restoration of land following the initial
ground work undertaken to set up a new oil refinery. The company has an advertised policy that it will
restore all environmental damage caused by its business operations. The provision is based on the estimated
cost of reinstating the environmental damage caused and is not likely to be paid until 2040.
Legal claims
During the year an explosion at one of the company’s oil extraction plants caused a number of employees
to suffer injury. This provision is to cover personal injury claims made by the individuals concerned. The
provision is based on lawyers’ best estimate of the likely amount at which the claims can reasonably be
settled. It is hoped that the claims will be settled in the next financial year. It is expected that the full amount
of these claims will be reimbursed by an insurance company following their payment.
Onerous lease
The company has an ongoing lease obligation in respect of office space that is not being utilized by the
company. The outstanding lease liability at the year-end was Rs. 65,000 and the lease has another four years
to run. MPP has found a tenant for the office space on a six-month short lease and this will reduce the
outstanding obligation by Rs. 6,000 in 2017.
Contingent liability
Following the explosion at the oil extraction plant a number of employees have made claims against the

489
company for undue stress. Based on lawyers’ advice the company do not believe that it is probable that a
court case against the company will be brought. If such a case was to be heard the estimated payout in total
is Rs. 20,000 (10,000 x 2).

Answer 08
(i) As on 31 December 2018, OL should recognize a provision for warranty service to be provided as
there is a present obligation as a result of a past event (sale of A-1 and B-1 in 2018). The amount
of provision would be:
 Rs. 2 million (4×50%) in respect of A-1 as OL is liable to SL for 50% cost of services.
 Rs. 7 million (entire cost) in respect of B-1 as OL is responsible to the customers for providing
warranty services.
OL is required to disclose a contingent liability for remaining warranty cost of (which should be
incurred by SL) as OL would be responsible for it in case of default. (Joint and several liability)
Further OL should recognize a separate asset (receivable) to the extent that reimbursements from
SL in respect B-1 are virtually certain. In the statement of profit or loss, the expense relating to
warranty services may be presented net of the amount recognized as receivable (reimbursement). If,
however, reimbursement is only probable then disclose.
(ii) As on 31 December 2018, OL is required to record a liability of Rs. 5 million as this has already
been approved by OL. In respect of remaining amount of the claim, a provision of Rs. 5.4 million
(6 x 70% + 4 x 30%) shall be made as it is most likely that OL would require to pay this amount
as advised by OL’s lawyers.
Further OL should recognize a separate asset (receivable) to the extent of Rs. 9 million as it is
accepted in principle by the supplier. Therefore, it will be taken as ‘virtually certain to be received’.
In the statement of profit or loss, the expense relating to the provision may be presented net of
amount recognized as receivable (reimbursement).
(iii) However, recovery of the claim to the extent of Rs. 3 million is probable, therefore, a contingent
asset would be disclosed.
(iv) Introduction of new alternative drug with better results is an indication of reduction in value of
existing medicine kept in stock. It is more evident by subsequent sales of such units at lower price
i.e. Rs. 8,000 with 10% commission to distributors. According to IAS 2, inventory should be
recorded at lower of cost or NRV (i.e. estimated selling price less estimated costs necessary to
make the sale). So OL is required to carry entire stock of this medicine at NRV i.e. Rs. 36 million
[5,000×7,200 (8,000 – 800)] as against the cost of Rs. 50 million (5,000 x 70,000,000/7,000)

Warranty: The Company grants warranties on certain categories of goods. The measurement of the
provision is on the company’s experience of the likelihood and cost of paying out under the warranty.
Legal claim: The legal claim provision is in respect of a claim made by a customer for damages as a result
of faulty equipment supplied by the company. It represents the present value of the amount at which the
company's legal advisors believe the claim is likely to be settled.
Onerous contract: The provision for the onerous contract is in respect of a two-year fixed-price contract
which the company entered into on 1 July 2017. Due to unforeseen cost increases and production problems,
a loss on this contract is now anticipated. The provision is based on the amount of this loss up to the end of
the contract.
Contingent asset: The Company is making a claim against a supplier of components. These components led in
part to the legal claim against the company for which a provision has been made above. Legal advice is that
this claim is likely to succeed and should amount to around40% of the total damages (Rs. 9 million x 40% =
3.6 million).
W1 Warranty provision: 150 x 60% x Rs. 7,000 = Rs. 630,000.
W2 Onerous contract: 18 months (from Jan 2018 to June 2019) x 100 units x Rs. 800 = Rs. 1,440,000 (actual loss

Past Papers
Question 1
For the purpose of this question, assume that the date today is 1 August 2021.
On 1 January 2021, Holwah Automobiles Limited (HAL) launched vehicle with the brand name of
‘Deluxe’. In March 2021, reports were circulated in social media that carbon emissions from Deluxe exceed
the regulatory limits. In May 2021, HAL announced to halt the sales of Deluxe upon receiving an inquiry
from regulatory authority.
On 1 June 2021, HAL announced that:
 high emissions were confirmed in those batches of Deluxe which were produced from March 2021
and onwards due to defect in assembling of emission kit.
 customers can get the defect fixed from the authorized dealers free of cost from 1 July 2021.
 sales of Deluxe will also resume from 1 July 2021.
The senior management has summarized the following financial implications of the above matter:
(i) On 10 June 2021, a penalty of Rs. 20 million was imposed by the regulatory authority. On 25 July
2021, an additional penalty of Rs. 2 million was imposed due to non-payment of penalty within 40
days. HAL has decided to challenge the additional penalty on the relevant forum.
(ii) Defect in the existing inventory of Deluxe will be fixed by HAL at its factory in the month of August
2021. The rework cost will be Rs. 15 million and loss of profit due to temporary suspension of
production will be Rs. 30 million.
(iii) Defect in all vehicles sold during March to May 2021 will be fixed by the authorized dealers in July
and August 2021. The cost will be reimbursed to dealers at the end of each month on the basis of actual
number of vehicles fixed. Though HAL is legally bound to fix the defect in all vehicles which will
cost approximately Rs. 50 million, management estimates that only 85% of customers will get their
vehicle fixed.
(iv) Market value of internally generated brand of Deluxe would reduce by Rs. 150 million.
(v) Value in use of the production line of Deluxe would reduce by Rs. 80 million.
(vi) In June 2021, the regulatory authority has introduced new emission protocol to ensure that the
emissions are within the limits and needs to be complied by 30 September 2021. The new protocol
will require modification in the existing production line at a cost of Rs. 100 million.
Required:
In the context of relevant IFRSs, discuss how the above financial implications should be dealt with in the
financial statements of HAL for the year ended 30 June 2021. (15)
Answer 1
The treatment of the given financial implications in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June
2021 would be as follows:
(i) Penalty of Rs. 20 million should be recognized due to legal obligation arising on 10 June
2021.Additional penalty of Rs. 2 million should not be recognized as it has been imposed after year
end.
(ii) Rework cost of Rs. 15 million should not be recognized. Rework cost should be deducted in
calculating NRV of inventory of Deluxe and would be compared with the cost for identifying any
potential NRV adjustment. No provision needs to be made for loss of profit of Rs. 30 million as
future operating losses does not require any provision.
(iii) Repair cost which will be reimbursed to dealers should be provided because constructive / legal
obligation arose due to announcement made on 1 June. The amount recognized as provision shall be
the best estimate based on the most likely outcome hence provision should be recorded at 85% of Rs.
50 million i.e. 42.5 million.

492
(iv) Internally generated brands are not recognized in financial statements; hence no question arises of
their impairment.
(v) Reduction in value in use of Rs. 80 million should not be recorded. The reduced value in use of the
production line should be compared with the fair value less cost of disposal for assessing recoverable
amount. If carrying amount exceeds recoverable amount than recognize impairment loss.
(vi) The modification cost of Rs.100 million should not be provided despite announcement made by
regulatory authority before year end. HAL has no present obligation for future expenditures as it can
avoid the expenditure by its future actions i.e. by changing operations. The cost should be considered
in estimating value in use of the related assets.
Question 2
On 16 June 2020, an aircraft of Sukoon Airlines Limited (SAL) made an emergency landing near a factory
building. Though all persons on board were safe, the nearby factory was damaged. As a result, two factory
workers lost their lives and five workers were injured.
After one week of this accident, SAL’s CEO informed in a press conference that SAL will pay Rs. 1.5
million for each loss of life and Rs. 1 million for each injured worker.
On 8 July 2020, the factory owner filed a claim of Rs. 25 million for factory damages. The case is still
pending; however, SAL’s legal advisor is of the view that there is 70% probability that the amount of
damages would be Rs. 20 million and 30% probability that the amount would be Rs. 15 million.
Due to this accident, the aircraft was damaged beyond repairs and consequently SAL cannot use this aircraft
anymore. The aircraft was acquired on lease on monthly rental of USD 0.5 million for 10 months expiring
on 31 October 2020. As per lease agreement, if aircraft faces any accident, SAL is required to pay monthly
rentals to the lessor till settlement of insurance claim. The insurance claim was settled on 31 August 2020.
Required:
In the context of relevant IFRSs, discuss how the above issues should be dealt with in the financial
statements of SAL for the year ended 30 June 2020. (07)
Ans 2
Loss/injuries of workers
As CEO committed in a press conference, it is constructive obligation/valid expectation that SAL would
compensate factory workers. Therefore, SAL should make a provision of Rs. 8 million (2×1.5+5×1) in this
regard.
Factory damages
The claim was filed subsequent to year-end but the obligating event i.e. emergency landing occurred before
the year-end so this is an adjusting event.
As per legal advisor advice, SAL would be liable to pay damages in any case but amount is uncertain. So
SAL should make a provision for most likely amount i.e. Rs. 20 million.
Aircraft lease
Since aircraft is no more usable for SAL and insurance claim is expected to settle by 31 August 2020, the
contract became onerous. Therefore, SAL should make a liability for rentals of July and August i.e. USD
1 million(0.5×2).
USD amount should be translated into PKR by applying closing exchange rate.
Question.3
Atif Anwar, ACA is Finance Manager at Hot Coffee Limited (HCL) and reports to Jamal Ahmed, FCA
who is the CFO.
On returning from leaves, Atif noted that draft financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019
have been prepared. He found that financial statements have not been updated for the revision in
decommissioning cost related to a plant, as advised by the engineering department at the start of 2019. Atif
discussed the matter with Jamal who advised him to finalize the financial statements without revising the
decommissioning cost as HCL’s profit would be decreased if revised cost would be taken into account.

493
Decommissioning cost related to the plant has increased from initial estimate of Rs. 50 million to Rs. 88
million. Applicable discount rate is 12%. This plant had a useful life of 6 years when it was purchased on

Question.4
For the purpose of this question, assume that the date today is 1 February 2020.
You are the Finance Manager of Wonderland Limited (WL). Your assistant is preparing financial
statements of WL for the year ended 31 December 2019. He has brought following matters for your
consideration:
(i) In mid of 2019, WL launched new model of laptops with the name of Champ which became popular
among customers.
In November 2019, WL started receiving complaints about incidents of electric shock and excessive
heating. Some of these incidents resulted in serious injuries to customers. Several customers filed
claims for damages with WL for injuries. The matter was highly publicized in media as well.
On 1 December 2019, WL suspended sales of Champ. WL conducted an inquiry which led to the
conclusion that these incidents were happening because of defective chargers. On 25 December 2019,
WL announced that all customers can collect the replacement charger from 15 January 2020 and
onwards from WL's service center without any additional cost. The sales of Champ will also resume
on the same date at a reduced price. Further, it has been internally decided that a free USB shall be
given to customers coming for collecting replacement chargers as a good gesture.
The matter was raised with the supplier of chargers i.e. Battery Limited (BL). On 20 January 2020,
BL admitted the fault and agreed to only adjust the cost of the defective chargers against the future
purchases.
In respect of this matter, your assistant has proposed a provision of Rs. 105.3 million in financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 having the following breakup

Rs in
million
1 Cost of replacement chargers to be acquired for:
 customers 6.8

494
 wholesaler and retailers 2.3
 closing stock of Champ with WL 4.9
Recovery from BL (11.5)
3 Cost of USBs to be given 5.8
4. Expected litigation cost and settlements in respect of claims for damages for injuries to
customers including Rs. 5.4 million for claims made in January 2020 and Rs. 10
million for claims expected to be received in future. 25.9
5 Decrease in WL share price in December 2019 38.4
6 Marketing cost to be incurred in 2020 to counter the negative publicity by the incidents 15.5
7 Decrease in gross profit for 2020 due to reduction in selling price 17.2
105.3
(ii) In November 2019, WL introduced a promotion scheme in which a scratch card was included in each
pack of one of its products. These cards carry cash prizes ranging from Rs. 100 to Rs. 50,000 and are
valid for claims till 29 February 2020.
All scratch cards were printed by system and packed directly into the product without any human
interaction. As per the scheme, WL had decided to include total prizes of Rs. 25 million.
As at year-end, WL had already received claims for prizes worth Rs. 32 million. An inquiry has led
to the conclusion that the software for printing scratch card has certain programming errors which
has led to printing of unknown amount of total prizes as compared to the original plan of WL.
Further, claim of Rs. 12 million had been received till 31 January 2020. Considering the reputation,
WL would honor all the claims. (04)
Required:
Discuss how the above issues should be dealt with in the financial statements of WL for the year ended 31
December 2019. Support you answer in the context of relevant IFRSs.
Ans.4
(i) The treatment of each of item would be as follows:
1. Cost of replacement charges to customers, wholesaler and retailers would be provided in 2019 due to
the constructive obligation arising out of the announcment made on 25 december 2019.
Cost of replacement charges would be included as deduction in calculating NRV of the closing stock
of champ and would be comapred with the cost of the stock in books for assessing potential NRV
adjustment.
2. Reimbursement from BL would be recognized in 2019 only when it is virtually certain as at 31
decemeber 2019 that BL would reimburse the cost which does not seems to be the case here due to
subsequent agreement of BL on 20 january 2020 for the reimbursement.
3. WL has no obligation as 31 December 2019 to give USBs to the customers. As giving of USBs has not
been announced. Therefore provision need not to be made at 31 December 2019
4. Provision for expected litigaton and settlement cost in respect of all claim of Rs. 25.9 million shoyuld
be made in 2019.
Sale of defective laptop is the obligating event in this respect which were made in 2019. The filling of
claims in 2020 would be considered as adjusting event for 2019 financial statements.
5. The loss would not be recorded in WL’s book as market of company shared is not reflected in the books
of accounts.
6. Marketing cost to be incurred in 2020 would not be recorded in 2019 as it is a discretionary cost and
there is no obligation to incur marketing cost at 31 december 2019.
7. No entry needs to be made for decrease in gross profit for 2020 due to reduction in selling price.
However, the effect of decrese in selling price shoyld be considered for calculating NRV of closing
stock of Champ as at 31 December 2019

495
(ii)In respect of claim received till year end of Rs. 32 million, WL should record an expense
Further claim of Rs. 12 million received during January 2020 would be considered as an adjusting event
and should be recorded as an expense in 2019.
In respect of remaining claims which have not yet been received:
 WL has a present obligation to honor the claim for prizes as a result of past event i.e. sale of product
 It is probable that outflow of economic will be required to settle the obligation,
 as cards of higher amount were printed and issued as compared to original plan but amount could
not be determined due to absence of human intervention in printing the cards
It should be disclosed as contingent liability along with description that the amount is not measurable due
to circumstances discussed above.

Question.5
Crown Enterprise (Private) Limited (CEPL) is a supplier of specialized machines Being the first year
of its operations, it is unsure about accounting treatment of the following transactions:

(a) CEPL sold a machine at a markup of 20% for Rs. 150,000. Such machines can have a 12 month
warranty in terms of which defective machines are repaired or replaced free of cost. Based on past
experience, the manufacturer of the machine has informed that 3% machines need repairs and average
repair cost is Rs 10,000 per machine.
(b) A specialized machine was supplied to a manufacturing company. According to the terms of sale,
CEPL is responsible for installation of the machine and the customer will make the payment after the
machine has been satisfactorily installed.
(c) CEPL sold a machine on credit to NIOO Limited which expects to finalize a contract for providing
maintenance facilities to a large textile mill. CEPL has agreed that the machine may be returned if
MOO Limited fails to secure the maintenance contract.
(d) A machine was sold on a lay away basis ire. the purchaser will be entitled to take possession of the
machine after payment of final installment. Out of a total of seven installments two had been received
so far.
Required:
Discuss when it will be appropriate for Crown Enterprise (Private) Limited to recognize revenue in each of
the above situation. (12)

Ans.5
a) The company should recognize the revenue at the date of sale based on meeting the recognition
criteria, i.e. transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, no managerial involvement, measurement of
revenue, probable inflow of economic benefit and reliable measurement of cost of goods sold.
Warranty will not affect any of these criteria.
b) Some of the conditions for recognition of revenue have been met such as reliable estimate of cost
and revenue at the time of supply. However, company has retained significant risk of ownership due
to non-compliance with primary condition of sale i.e. the conditions of installation. Consequently,
there is no transfer of ownership, managerial involvement exists, inflow of economic benefit is not
probable Therefore, revenue will be recognized after satisfact01Y installation.
c) The completion of the sale transaction is uncertain because it is contingent upon purchaser being
awarded the contract. Therefore the company will recognize the revenue when it is certain that the
purchaser will be granted the contract.
d) Revenue form lay away sales are recognized when the goods are delivered. However, based on
experience, such revenue may be recognized when it is probable that sale will materialize and
significant deposit is received. But in given case there is no history available and only two out of

496
seven installments have been received Therefore, revenue will only be recognized when machine
has been delivered.
Question.6
For the purpose of this question, assume that the date today is 15 February 2018. Melon Limited (ML) is
in the process of finalizing its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017. Following
matters are under consideration:

(i) ML undertook a sales campaign in December 2017 whereby customers can avail 20% discount on the
purchase of its new product by presenting a coupon, which formed part of newspaper advertisements.
The offer is valid from 1 January 2018 to 28 February 2018.
So far discounts of Rs. 4.5 million have been availed and the management estimates that a
further discount of Rs 3 million will be given before the end of the scheme.
(ii) On 15 December 2017, a machine was disposed of for Rs. 3.5 million to Raspberry Limited (RL) for
cash. However, as per agreement ML was also entitled to additional amount of Rs. 1.5 million which
is dependent upon passing certain production tests after installation at RL's premises On 25 January
2018 RL confirmed that the required production testing had successfully been completed.
(iii) On 10 December 2017, a worker filed a claim of Rs.2.5 million and alleged violation of safety
measures on the part of ML. As of 31 December 2017 the legal advisor of ML advised that there was
only a remote possibility that the Court would award any compensation to the worker.
The case is still pending; however, ML's legal advisor now believes that there is a 40% chance that the
Court would award compensation of Rs 2 million to the worker.
(iv) In November 2017, as part of restructuring plan an option of early retirement in exchange for a one
off payment of Rs. 1 million was offered to each employee aged above 50 years. According to
restructuring plan, management expects that 25 employees would accept the offer. The option can be
exercised till 31 March 2018. 10 employees have already opted for the scheme till 31 December 2017.
A further 6 employees have opted for the scheme after year-end.
Costs related to the restructuring except one-off payments to employees have already been provided
by ML in its financial statements.
Required:
Discuss how each of the above matters should be dealt with in ML's financial statements for the year ended
31 December 2017, (12)

Answer 6
(i) In given scenario, present obligation was not existing at year end as the obligating event in this case is
the actual sales of the product rather than the publishing of coupon in newspaper. Therefore, neither
provision nor disclosure of contingent liability are required in the ML's financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2017.
(ii) Determination of the sale price after the reporting period for an asset sold, where the sale had been made
before the year end is considered as an adjusting event under IAS 10. Consequently, ML is required to
book receivable of Rs 1.5 million at year end. Further, gain or loss on sale of machine has to be
calculated by taking into account of such receivable.
(iii) IAS 10 states that if an entity receives information after the reporting period about conditions that existed
at the end of the reporting period, it shall update disclosures that relate to those conditions, in the light
of the new information.

In light of above, ML is required to disclose the contingent liability in light of revised opinion of ML's
lawyer i.e. 40% chances that the court would award compensation of Rs. 2 million to the effected
worker,

(iv) Announcement of restructuring plan to those employees who would be affected by the plan raises
constructive obligation on ML. According to restructuring plan, management expects that 25 employees
would accept the offer so provision/liability should be made for Rs. 25 million (Rs. 1 million x 25
employees) irrespective of employees who have already opted the scheme till now.

497
Question.7
Naba Power Limited (NPL) is preparing its financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017.
Following issues are under consideration.

(a) NPL entered into a contract on 1 August 2016 to supply customized batteries to a new customer As
per the terms of the agreement, NPL is required to deliver 50,000 batteries at the end of each month
from December 2016 to September 2017 at a consideration of Rs. 15 million per month. Penalty for
each late delivery or cancellation of the contract would be Rs. 5 million and Rs. 2D million
respectively.
On 1 August 2016 NPL had estimated that cost of production would be Rs. 10 million per month.
However, cost of production ceased subsequently Despite the increase in the cost of production, NPL
made timely deliveries till May 2017 at a
total cost of Rs. 99 million. Supply for June 2017 was made on 15 July 2017 at a total cost of
Rs. 18 million of which Rs. 14 million had been incurred till 30 June 2017. It is estimated that
Rs. 55 million would need to be spent to make the last 3 deliveries within time. (06)
(b) On 15 May 2017 an explosion occurred at one of NPL's factories. Several claims were filed by affected
employees against NPL. The details are as under
(i) Seven injured employees made claims before 30 June 2017 and further three injured employees
lodged claims in July 2017. According to NPL's legal advisor, the probability that NPL wo(uld
be determined to be negligent is 80%. If NPL is found negligent, the estimated average cost of
each payout will be Rs. 1 million.
(ii) Additional four employees made claims before 30 June 2017, seeking compensation for the
stress, rather than any injury, caused to them. If these claims succeed, the legal advisor is of the
view that the estimated average cost of each payout will be Rs. 0.7 million. However, according
to the legal advisor, the chance that these employees will succeed is 300 0.
80% of all such payouts are recoverable according to the terms of the insurance policy. (05)
(c) On 1 November 2016 a new law was introduced requiring all factories to install specialized safety
equipment within five months The equipment costing Rs. 15 million was ordered in February 2017 to
be installed by 30 April 2017. However, the supplier delayed installation till 31 July 2017. On 5 August
2017 the company received a notice from the authorities levying a penalty of Rs. 1.6 million i.e., Rs.
0.4 million for each month during which the violation continued. It is probable that this penalty will
be recovered from the supplier.
Required:
Discuss how each of the above issues should be dealt with in NPL's financial statements for the year
ended 30 June 2017. (Quantify effects where practicable)
Ans.7
(a) NPL should recognize following provision / expense as on 30 June 2017:
Rs. in million
Provision for penalty (Note 1) 05
Expense related to inventories recognized on lower of cost or NRV [14 minus 11
(15—4)] (Note 2) 03
Provision for onerous contract 45 55 Note 3 10
18
Note 1:
Supply for June 2017 was made after delay of 15 days so as per terms of agreement provision for penalty
should be made for this adjusting event.

Note 2:
Since cost incurred till 30 June 2017 (Rs. 14 million) is higher than the net realizable value of mvent01Y
i.e. Rs. 11 million (selling price of 15 million less 4 million cost to be incurred) expense of Rs. 3 million
related to write-down of inventory to NRV should be recognized.

498
Note 3:
Since estimated cost of Rs. 55 million which would need to be spent is more than the total revenue of Rs
45 million for last 3 deliveries, the contract is considered as onerous and the provision should be made at
Rs. 10 million that is lower of cost of fulfilling it (Rs. 10 million i.e. 55 — 45 ) or penalty arising from
failure to fulfill it (Rs 20 million).

(b) Claim regarding NPL's negligence


As on 30 June 2017 NPL should recognize a provision for ten Injured employees because at reporting date
there is present obligation m respect of past event (Injuries suffered from explosion occurred before year
end). NPL's lawyers estimate that probability of NPL being declared negligent is 80% which is considered
as probable. Therefore, provision should be made for total payout of Rs 10 million (1 million for each
employee).

According to the terms of insurance policy 80% of the cost is recoverable from insurance company so it is
virtually certain that reimbursement will be made. According to IAS 37, NPL should recognize a separate
asset (receivable) of Rs. 8 million (10 million x 80%). In the statement of comprehensive income provision
may be presented net of reimbursement amount

Claim seeking compensation for the stress


As per legal adviser, there is only 30% chance that the claims lodged against the company for undue stress
will succeed so payment of Rs 28 million (0.7 million x 4) is possible (not a present) obligation.
Consequently, provision is not required and NPL should disclose this amount as contingent liability giving
brief description of the event and estimate of financial effect.

(c) As on 30 June 2017, NPL should recognize expense of Rs. 1.2 million (0.4x3) in relation to penalty for
noncompliance of new law from 1 April to 30 June 2017 because at the reporting date there is a present
obligation (payment of penalty) in respect of a past event (non-compliance of statutory requirement). NPL
should disclose the penalty amount in its financial statement.

Since the reimbursement of penalty amount from the vendor is probable, the reimbursement of only two
months (May and June 2017) of Rs. 0.8 million (0.4*2)should be disclosed as a contingent asset giving
brief description of the event and estimate of financial effect.

Question.8

Question.9
Quality Garments Limited (QGL) is a manufacturer of readymade garments. During May 2014, a fire broke
out in one of its units which resulted in deaths and severe injuries to a number of workers.
At the time of finalization of QGL's financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014, the following
issues pertaining to the fire are under consideration:
(i) Families of certain deceased workers have filed compensation claims amounting to Rs. 60 million. A
government agency has imposed a penalty of Rs. 35 million for negligence on the part of the company.
QGL's lawyers anticipate that the company would have to pay Rs. 20 million and Rs. 10 million to
settle the workers' claims and the penalty respectively.
(ii) To maintain goodwill of the company, the Board of Directors is considering additional payments to
the families of the deceased workers amounting to Rs. 25 million.
(iii) Loss to fixed assets and inventories is estimated at Rs. 60 million. 111 this respect, a fire insurance
claim has been lodged. Due to certain policy clauses, QGL's consultant anticipates that the claim for
Rs. 15 million may not be accepted. The matter is under negotiation with the insurance company.
(iv) Due to closure of the unit for repair, QGL would not be able to meet sales orders of Rs. 50 million.
This will reduce QGL's profitability for the half year ending 31 December 2014 by Rs. 10 million.
Required:

(i) Liability for workers' compensation and penalty
 All the conditions as intentioned for provisions are met to the extent of Rs. 20 million for the
claims of fatuities of workers and Rs. 10 million for the penalty levied by a government agency.
Therefore, a provision of Res. 30 million (20+10) would be made.
 For the remaining amount of Rs. 65 million (60+35-30), it is not probable that an outflow of
economic benefits will be required . Therefore, a contingent liability would be disclosed giving
information as per the above requirements.
(ii) Additional compensation for the families of the deceased workers;
The obligation for additional compensation to the families of the deceased workers is neither legal
nor constructive as the matter is still under consideration and no formal announcement was made
that may create a valid expectation. Therefore, no provision or disclosure is required in this respect.
(iii) Insurance claim
 As the insurance claim to the extent of Rs. 45 million (60-15) is virtually certain to be received;
an insurance claim would be recognized for this amount.
 Where an inflow for the remaining amount of Rs. 15 million is probable, a contingent asset
would be disclosed giving information as per the above requirements.
 Where an inflow for the remaining amount of Rs. 15 million is not probable, no contingent asset
should be disclosed.
(iv) Reduction in future profit by Rs. 10 million for the half year ending 31-12-2014: No provision or
disclosure is required for future operating losses as they arise from future events not past events.

Question.10(IFRIC 1, Revaluation Model)


On 1 January 2020, Grateful Industries Limited (GIL) completed installation of a plant which will be
required to be dismantled at the end of its ten years’ useful life. GIL paid Rs. 2,000 million for the plant.
On 1 January 2020, it was estimated that the cost of dismantling would amount to Rs. 200 million.
Applicable discount rate was 10% per annum when initial estimate of dismantling costs was made.
The fair value of the plant as on 31 December 2020 was assessed at Rs. 1,845 million(including dismantling
cost).
Estimates of dismantling cost and applicable discount rate were reviewed as at 31 December 2021 and
were revised to Rs. 150 million and 12% per annum respectively.
GIL has a policy to subsequently measure plant using the revaluation model and depreciation is provided
on straight line basis.

Question 11
Turquoise Limited (TL) is in the process of finalizing its financial statements for the year ended 30 June
2019. Following matters are under consideration:
(i) On 10 July 2019, the owner of the adjacent building filed a case against TL claiming
Rs. 50 million. The claim is made in respect of severe damage to his building during a fire incident
in TL’s head office in June 2019. He is of the view that TL was negligent in maintaining fire safety
systems in its head office. According to TL’s lawyers, there is 70% probability that TL would be
found negligent and would need to pay 40% of the
Amount claimed. (04)
(ii) In May 2019, TL’s board of directors decided to relocate its regional office from Multan to Lahore.
In this respect, a detailed plan was approved by the management and a formal public announcement
was made in June. TL has planned to complete the relocation by December 2019. The related costs
have been estimated as under:
Rs. in million
Redundancy payments 20

503
Costs of moving office equipment to Lahore 3
Compensation to employees agreeing to relocate 10
Salary of existing operation manager (responsible to supervise the
relocation) 2
(04)
(iii) TL had 6,000 unsold units of product A as on 30 June 2019 acquired at Rs. 500 per unit. In June
2019, the selling price of product A has fallen to
Rs. 350 per unit.
TL acquires product A under the contract in which TL has to buy 10,000 units of product A per
month for Rs. 500 per unit. The contract is valid till 31 August 2019 and if TL decides to cancel the
contract, then it must pay a cancellation penalty of Rs. 4 million. TL is of view that the market may
not improve in near future. (04)
(iv) TL sells product B with a warranty of 12 months, though the manufacturer i.e. Sulphur Limited (SL)
provides a warranty of 8 months only. Warranty services are provided by SL. However, TL is
responsible if SL fails to honor its obligation for this warranty. If warranty claim arises within 8
months, SL does not charge any cost. However, SL charges Rs. 500, Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 2,500 for a
minor, moderate and major defect respectively in each unit if the defect arises in the extended
warranty period of 4 months offered by TL. The probability that a warranty claim in respect of a
unit sold may arise, is as under:
Nature of defect First 8 months Last 4 months
Minor 12% 6%
Moderate 7% 10%
Major 4% 5%
During the year ended 30 June 2019, a total of 12,000 units of product B has been sold by TL and
warranty cost of Rs. 1.2 million has been paid to SL in respect of these units. (05)
Required:
Discuss how the above issues should be dealt with in the financial statements of TL for the year
ended 30 June 2019. Support your answers in the context of relevant IFRSs.
Ans.11
TL should recognise the provision of Rs. 20 million(50x40%) due to the following:
(i)
 Filing of case by owner of adjacent building is considered as an adjusting event because the fire
incident was occurred in June consequently evidence of conditions i.e. severe damage to such
building was exist at reporting date.
 The payment is probable as according to TL's lawyers, there is 70% probability that TL would be
determined to be negligent.
 Amount can also be estimated reliably as TL's lawyers is of view that TL will have to pay 40% of
the amount claimed.
(ii)A provision for restructuring cost is to be recognised, as formal restructuring plan has been finalized
and approved by the management and a formal public announcement was made prior to 30 June 2019.

However, a provision should only be made for redundancy cost of Rs. 20 million as it pertains to the closing
of Multan unit.
Costs of moving machinery to the Lahore and compensation to employees agreeing to transfer Lahore relate
to future conduct of the business / ongoing business of TL should not be recorded in the year ended 30 June
2019.
Salary of the existing operation manager should not be recorded as it is not incremental cost, and would be
incurred whether relocation takes place or not.

504
(iii)
In the given scenario, following two adjustments in respect of product A are required:
 Since selling price is lower than cost so NRV adjustment in respect of closing inventory at year
end should be made by Rs. 900,000 [6,000 X 150(500-350)]
 Further, as the contract become onerous, TL should also record provision for unavoidable cost of
Rs. 3 million being lower of:
Cost of fulfilling the contract i.e. Rs. 3 million 350)]
Cancel the contract (penalty) i.e. Rs. 4 million

(iv)In the given scenario, warranty period is divided into two i.e. First eight months and subsequent four
months. Both periods are discussed separately below:

First 8 months:
Since SL is responsible for warranty claim arising in this period and no cost is charged by SL so no provision
is required in TL's books. However, since TL is responsible if SL does not honour its obligation for this
warranty period, TL should disclose this fact as contingent liability.

Subsequent 4 months:
Since SL charges an amount from TL depend upon nature of defect, provision should be recorded in TL's
books as there is present obligation as a result of past event (Sale of Product B). Computation is as follows:
Nature of defect % defective No. of units Rs. per Rupees
units unit
Minor(12,000*6%) 6% 720 500 360,000
Moderate(12,000*10%) 10% 1,200 1,000 1,200,000
Major(12,000*5%) 5% 600 2,500 1,500,000
3,060,000
Less: Already claimed (1,200,000)
Provision to be made 1,860,000

Question.12 For the purpose of this question, assume that the date today is 1 February 2021
You are finance manager of Tibet Limited (TL). You are finalizing the financial statements of TL for the
year ended 31 December 2020. The Chief Executive of TL has sent you the following email:
2020 was a tough year for TL due to COVID-19. The net profit of TL is expectedly very low as compared
to previous years. However, I have identified the following matters which may improve TL’s net profit for
2020
(i) On 25 January 2021, Government has enacted amendments in the income tax laws to reduce the
rate of income tax for companies by 10% for 3 years including 2020
(ii) The exchange rate has risen from Rs. 150 per USD as on 31 December 2020 to Rs. 162 per USD.
TL has significant receivables in USD due to export sales.
(iii) A major local customer has settled his full balance after receiving bank loan last week. At year end,
the customer was facing financial difficulty and therefore TL had provided 40% of his balance as
doubtful receivable.
(iv) In December 2020, Government has announced a compensation scheme for entities which have not
terminated any employee in 2020. Under the scheme, these entities would be reimbursed 25% of
salaries expense of 2020. TL would initiate the process of obtaining the reimbursement after
completion of audit. The reimbursement might take few months

505
Required:
Discuss how each of the above matters would affect TL’s net profit for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Support your answer with justifications. (08)
(Discussion on disclosure requirements is not required)
Ans.12
(i) Reduction of income tax rate after the year end is a non-adjusting event as it was enacted after reporting
date i.e.31 December 2020 so it would not affect profit for 2020.
(ii) Increase in exchange rate after the year end is a non-adjusting event so it would not affect the profit for
2020.
(iii) The financial position of customer has improved after year-end upon obtaining the bank loan so it is a
non-adjusting event. The provision on this customer balance would remain in the books and it would
not affect the profit for 2020.
Though government has announced the grant/compensation scheme in 2020, the grant would be
recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received. As the process has not
yet initiated and would take few months, it seems that there is no reasonable assurance as at 31
December 2020 that the grant will be received. Therefore, it would not affect the profit for 2020.

Question 13 (Autumn 2023)


For the purpose of this question, assume that the date today is 1 September 2023.
Jahlar Cosmetics Limited (JCL) is currently in the process of finalizing its financial statements for the
year ended 30 June 2023.In May 2023, JCL was on the verge of launching an innovative line of beauty
products. However, the launch was cancelled due to alarming reports that employees involved in internal
testing of the new cosmetics experienced adverse skin reactions, ranging from minorirritations to serious allergic
responses. The situation worsened as news of these reactions spread through media outlets, highlighting
potential risks, damaging JCL's reputation, and causing public doubt.
As a result of the above, JCL has incurred a net loss for the first time. Additionally, JCL hasencountered the
following matters:
(i) In July 2023, affected employees filed a lawsuit against JCL for damages. Legal advisors anticipate
that these suits could result in potential liability of Rs. 120 million. However, due to legal complexities,
the actual payout remains uncertain. The legal advisors estimate a 70% likelihood of incurring the full
liability and a 30% likelihood of incurring only half the amount.
(ii) In June 2023, the JCL’s board of directors approved a detailed restructuring plan involving the
reduction of operations in two cities due to high cost and low profitability. The plan was announced
and communicated to the employees in the same month. The implementation of this plan will span
over a six-months period, resulting in employee redundancies, lease termination charges, and
retraining cost amounting to Rs. 150 million, Rs. 24 million and Rs. 18 million, respectively. Further,
an expected disposal of assets is projected to generate a gain of Rs. 18 million.
(iii) As of 30 June 2023, JCL was in breach of one of the loan covenants related to revenue target, which
would have led to the entire long term loan becoming payable immediately. However, JCL contacted
the banks and obtained a waiver from them for compliance with the given covenant on 26 July 2023.
(iv) JCL plans to raise finance from the issuance of bonds in October 2023. Due to thechallenges, it is
estimated that the bond issuance will yield Rs. 100 million less thanthe original estimates. Further, the
interest rates would need to be increased by 2% perannum to make the issue possible. This additional interest
would result in an annual loss of Rs. 14 million, which has a present value of Rs. 70 million.
Required:
Discuss the effect of the above matters on JCL’s financial statements for the year ended30 June 2023.
(13)
Answer 13
(i) JCL has a present obligation as a result of a past event i.e., skin reactions due to testing. It is probable
that an outflow of resources would be required as both possibilities wouldresult in payment of damages.

506
A reliable estimate can be made. As it is a single instance,the most likely outcome of 70% should be
considered. So, JCL should make a provision for Rs. 120 million.
(ii) A constructive obligation for restructuring has arisen as the formal plan has been approved by the
Board, and has been communicated to all concerned before the end of reporting period. Therefore, a
provision of Rs. 174 (150+24) million should be recognized comprising of redundancy costs and lease
termination charges. Retraining cost would not be included in the provision for restructuring, as it
relates to future conduct of the business. Gains on the expected disposal of assets are not taken into
account in measuring a restructuring provision, even if the sale of assets is envisaged as part of the
restructuring process.
(iii) JCL shall classify the bank loan as current since JCL does not have an unconditionalright to defer
settlement of the loan for at least twelve months after the reporting period.Obtaining the waiver after
the year-end is a non‑adjusting event and will not change theclassification of loan from current to
non-current liabilities. However, the fact of obtaining waiver may be disclosed in the notes.
(iv) The issuance of bond at a lower amount and increase in finance cost represents future operating losses
for which provision shall not be recognized in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June
2023

Question 13 (Spring 2024)


For the purpose of this question, assume that the date today is 1 March 2024.
You have recently assumed the role of Finance Manager at Gorgeous Limited (GL). Your first
assignment is the finalization of GL's financial statements for the year ended31 December 2023.
The CEO has identified four specific matters where provisions may benecessary, in accordance with
IAS 37. However, the CEO is uncertain about the accurateestimation of these provisions. Below are
the details concerning these matters:
(i) Provision for renewal fees:
GL acquired a license for Rs. 96 million in 2023. The license is initially valid for a period of
five years, with the option for renewal every five years at a cost of Rs. 35 million.
Considering the substantial renewal fees, GL plans to renew the license only once and intends to
sell it at the end of the eighth year. (03)
(ii) Provision for engine replacement:
At the start of 2023, the government imposed a ban on the use of diesel engines in vehicles
effective from 31 December 2023. As of that date, GL owned eight vehicles equipped with
diesel engines, which could only be utilized in 2024 after engine replacement or potentially
sold at a loss in their current condition. On 31 December 2023, it was estimated that
the cost of replacing the engines would beRs. 15 million. However, the engines of the vehicles
were replaced in January and February 2024 at a cost of Rs. 20 million. (03)
(iii) Provision for net realizable loss:
As of 31 December 2023, GL held inventory items with a cost of Rs. 100 million. However,
the selling prices of these items were experiencing continual decline in the market. At 31 December
2023, the estimated selling price was Rs. 75 million. Subsequently, 80% of these inventory items
were sold in January and February 2024 at Rs. 50 million, while the remaining 20% is anticipated (04)
to be sold at Rs. 15 million.
(iv) Provision for pending court case:
Ten employees have initiated legal action against GL for alleged unfair dismissals in 2023.
Summary of two key correspondences with the GL's legal advisor regarding this matter is as
follows:
Correspondence dated 31 December 2023:
GL's legal advisor has opined that the dismissals were fair, with only a 30% probability
that the court may rule in favor of the employees, necessitating compensation. The potential
compensation amount varies, but is estimated to be Rs. 2 million per employee.

507
Correspondence dated 29 February 2024:
In light of new evidence presented to the court in February 2024, GL's legal advisornow believes
that the dismissals were unfair. There is a 70% probability that the court may rule in favour of
employees and order GL to pay Rs. 3 million to eachemployee.

Moreover, GL anticipates that if these claims are successful, three additionalemployees who
were similarly dismissed in 2023 may also pursue legal recourse. Therefore, based on latest
correspondence with the legal advisor, GL is considering a settlement with these three employees
before they initiate legal proceedings. (05)

The discount rate of 15% may be used, if required.


Required:
Identify whether a provision under IAS 37 needs to be made for each of the above matters.Also, discuss
the effect of the above matters on GL’s financial statements for the year ended
31 December 2023 in accordance with IFRSs.

508
Question: Earley Inc. is finalizing its accounts for the year ended 31 December 2014. The following events
have arisen since the year end and the financial director has asked you to comment on the final accounts.
(a) At 31 December 2014 trade receivables included a figure of Rs. 250,000 in respect of Nedengy Inc.
On 8 March 2015, when the current debt was Rs. 200,000, Nedengy Inc went into receivership.
Recent correspondence with the receiver indicates that no dividend will be paid to unsecured
creditors (means no further amount would be received).
(b) On 15 March 2015 Earley Inc sold its former head office building, for Rs. 2.7million. At the year
end the building was unoccupied and carried at a value of Rs. 3.1 million.
(c) Inventories at the year-end included Rs. 650,000 of a new electric tricycle, the Opasney. In January
2015 the European Union declared the tricycle to be unsafe and prohibited it from sale. An alternative
market, in Bongolia, is being investigated, although the current price is expected to be cost less 30%.
(d) Stingy Inc, a subsidiary in Outer Sonning, was nationalized in February 2015. The Outer Sonning
authorities have refused to pay any compensation. The net assets of Stingy Inc have been valued at
Rs. 200,000 at the year end.
(e) Freak floods caused Rs. 150,000 damage to the Southcott branch of Earley Inc. in January2015. The
branch was fully insured.
(f) On 1 April 2015 Earley Inc. announced a 1 for 1 rights issue aiming to raise Rs. 15 million.
Required:
Explain how you would respond to the matters listed above.
Answer:
(a) IAS 10 Events After the Statement of financial position Date states that assets and liabilities should be
adjusted for events occurring after the statement of financial position date that provide additional
evidence relating to conditions existing at the statement of financial position date. It specifically
includes the example of bad debts, where evidence of bankruptcy of a debtor occurs after the year
end.
In this case, Nedengy appears to have recovered part of the debt and as such only Rs.200, 000 needs
to be provided. It may be argued that the receivership has occurred as a result of events occurring after
the statement of financial position date, as a result of a change in legislation for example, but this is
unlikely.
(b) It is likely that the fall in the value of the property will fit the IAS 10 definition of adjusting events
noted in (a) above, unless, again, it can be argued that the decline in the property market occurred
after the year-end. IAS 36 Impairment of assets and IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment
require that the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment should be reviewed periodically
in order to assess whether the recoverable amount has fallen below the carrying amount. Where it
has, the property, plant and equipment should be written down to the recoverable amount, either
through the statement of profit or loss as an expense, or though other comprehensive income to
revaluation reserve in shareholder’s equity, but only to the extent that the balance on the revaluation
reserve relates to a previous revaluation surplus on the same asset.
(c) IAS 2 Inventories requires that inventories be stated at the lower on cost and net realisable value. Net
realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated
costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. It should only be disclosed in
current year.
(d) Unless Earley was making a significant margin on the tricycles, it is likely that the reduction in selling
price of 30% will necessitate a write- down to net realisable value, especially considering the
transportation costs to Bongolia which must be included. If the Bongolian option is unlikely to

509
proceed, it may be necessary to write the tricycles down to scrap value.
(e) Under IAS 10, the nationalization is likely to be regarded as a non-adjusting event that merely
requires disclosure in the financial statements. The loss of the investment should be accounted for
in the year in which it occurred, but disclosed in the current year.
If the loss of the subsidiary results in Earley no longer being a going concern, then the event becomes
an adjusting event
(f) As per IAS 10, Non adjusting events are those post reporting date events the conditions of which
arise after reporting date, in the given situation the loss amounting Rs.150,000 due to floods in
January 2015 i.e. after reporting date, hence the same may be disclosed as non-adjusting event.
(g) As per IAS 10, Non adjusting events are those post reporting date events the conditions of which
arise after reporting date. Since the declaration was announced after year-end, there is no past event
and no obligation at year-end, hence the same may be disclosed as non- adjusting event.
Example 02:
Question: You have been asked to advise on the appropriate accounting treatment for the following situations
arising in the books of various companies. The year end in each case can be taken as 31 December 2015
and you should assume that the amounts involved are material in each case.
(a) At the year-end there was a debit balance in the books of a company of Rs. 15,000, representing an
estimate of the amount receivable from an insurance company for an accident claim. In February
2016, before the directors had agreed the final draft of the published accounts, correspondence with
lawyers indicated that Rs. 18,600 might be payable on certain conditions.
(b) A company has an item of equipment which cost Rs. 400,000 in 2012 and was expected to last for
ten years. At the beginning of the 2015 financial year the book value was Rs. 280,000. It is now thought
that the company will soon cease to make the product for which the equipment was specifically
purchased. Its recoverable amount is only Rs. 80,000 at 31December 2015.
(c) On 30 November a company entered into a legal action defending a claim for supplying faulty
machinery. The company’s solicitors advise that there is a 20% probability that the claim will
succeed. The amount of the claim is Rs. 500,000.
(d) An item has been produced at a manufacturing cost of Rs. 1,800 against a customer’s orderat an
agreed price of Rs. 2,300. The item was in inventory at the year-end awaiting delivery instructions.
In January 2016 the customer was declared bankrupt because of an event occurred in Dec. 2015. and
the most reasonable course of action seems to be to make a modification to the unit, costing
approximately Rs.300, which is expected to make it marketable with other customers at a price of
about Rs.1,900.
(e) At 31 December a company has a total potential liability of Rs. 1,000,400 for warranty work on contracts.
Past experience shows that 10% of these costs are likely to be incurred, that 30% may be incurred
but that the remaining 60% is highly unlikely to be incurred.
Required:
For each of the above situations outline the accounting treatment you would recommend and give the
reasoning of principles involved.
Answer:
(a) IAS 37 Provisions contingent liabilities and contingent assets states that contingent gains should
not be recognised as income in the financial statements. The company has a debit balance already in
its books which indicates that it must be reasonably certain that at least part of the claim will be paid.
This element of the claim then is probably not a contingency at all. The remaining part (the difference
between the Rs.15,000 and the Rs.18,600) is, and should be disclosed and not accrued.

510
(b) IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment requires that the carrying amount of property, plant and
equipment should be reviewed periodically in order to assess whether the recoverable amount has
fallen below the carrying amount. Where it has, the property, plant and equipment should be written
down to the recoverable amount through the statement of profit or loss as an expense. In this case this
would result in the recognition of an expense of Rs.160,000. (240,000 (280,000 – 40,000) – 80,000).
(c) IAS 37 states that contingent liabilities should not be recognised. Though a provision should be
made for amounts where the company has an obligation to pay them.
The question in this case is whether or not there is an obligating event within the context of IAS 37.
It seems inappropriate to recognise a provision in respect of this amount but the possible liability
should be disclosed as a contingent liability by explaining:
(i) the nature of the contingency
(ii) the uncertainties surrounding the ultimate outcome
(iii) the likely effect, ie Rs.500,000 loss.
(d) IAS 2 Inventories requires that inventories be stated at the lower on cost and net realisable value. Net
realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated
costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
In this case, cost is Rs.1,800 and net realisable value is Rs.1,600 [1,900-300]
(e) The company should set up a provision for Rs.100,040, i.e. should accrue for the 10% probable
liability. It should disclose the possible liability under contingent liabilities. The disclosure is as
noted in (c) except that the financial effect is Rs.300,120 (30% x Rs.1,000,400). The balance should
be ignored as it is a remote contingent liability.
Example 3: J-Mart Limited
Question: J-Mart Limited, a chain of departmental stores has distributed its operations into four
Divisions i.e. Food, Furniture, Clothing and Household Appliances. The following information has been
extracted from the records:
(i) The company allows the dissatisfied customers to return the goods within 30 days. It is estimated
that 5% of the sales made in June 2015 will be refunded in July 2015.
(ii) On June 2, 2015, three employees were seriously injured as a result of a fire at the company’s
warehouse. They have lodged claims seeking damages of Rs. 2.0 million from the company. The
company’s lawyers have advised that it is probable that the court may award compensation of Rs.
400,000.
(iii) Under a new legislation, the company is required to fit smoke detectors at all the stores by December
31, 2015. The company has not yet installed the smoke detectors.
(iv) On June 20, 2015, the board of directors decided to close down the Household Appliances Division.
However, the decision was made public after June 30, 2015.
(v) The company has a large warehouse in Lahore which was acquired under a three-yearrent agreement
signed on April 1, 2014. The agreement is non- cancellable and the company cannot sub-let
the warehouse. However, due to operational difficulties, the company shifted the warehouse to a
new location.
(vi) A 15% cash dividend was declared on July 5, 2015.
Required:
Describe how each of the above issue should be dealt with in the financial statements for the yearended
June 30, 2015. Support your point of view in the light of relevant International Accounting Standards.
Answer
(i) The conditions attached to the sale give rise to a constructive obligation on the reporting date.

511
A provision for the sales return should be recognised for 5% of June 2015 sales. The related cost
should also be treated as stock with customer.
(ii) Since the law suit was already in progress at year-end and the amount of compensation can also be
estimated, it is an adjusting event. A provision of Rs. 400,000 should be made.
(iii) There is no obligating event at the year-end either for the costs of fitting the smoke detectors or
for fines under the legislation (because still there are six months to install after the year end.).
No provision should be recognised in this regard.
(iv) The obligating event is the communication of decision to the customers and employees, which gives rise
to a constructive obligation from that date, because it creates a valid expectation that the division will
be closed.
(v) Since no communication has yet been made, no provision is required in this regard
The obligating event is the signing of the lease contract, which gives rise to a legal obligation.
A provision is required for the unavoidable rent payments.
(vi) Since the declaration was announced after year-end, there is no past event and no obligation at
year-end and is therefore non-adjusting event.
Details of the dividend declaration must, however, be disclosed.

Example 4: Badar
Question: The following information relates to the financial statements of Badar for the year to 31March
2015.
The mining division of Badar has a 3 year operating licence from an overseas government. This allows it to
mine and extract copper from a particular site. When the licence began on 1 April 2014,Badar started to build
on the site. The cost of the construction was Rs. 500,000.
The overseas country has no particular environmental decommissioning laws. In its past financial
statements Badar has given information about the company’s environmental policy and has provided
examples to demonstrate that it is a responsible company that believes in restoring mining sites at the end of
the extraction period. The cost of removing the construction at the end of the three years is estimated to be
Rs. 100,000.
The cost of the site currently shown in the trial balance is Rs. 500,000. The company has a cost of borrowing
of 10%.
Required:
Explain the correct accounting treatment for the above (with calculations if appropriate).
Answer: IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets only permits a provision to be
made if three conditions are met:

(i) The company has a present obligation, either legally or constructively, as a result of a past
events;
(ii) Probable outflow of resources is required to settle the obligation; and
(iii) A reliable estimate is available.
Although there is no legal requirement to restore the site, the company has established a constructive
obligation by setting a valid expectation in the market, due to its published policies and past practice.
It therefore appears probable that Badar will have to pay money to improve the site and so a provision
should be created for the expected amount. As the expected payment of Rs. 100,000 will not be settled for
three years, the provision should be discounted and entered at its net present value of Rs. 75,131
(Rs.100,000 x (1.1)-3). Over the three years, the discounting should be unwound and charged to profit or loss
as finance costs, resulting in a provision of Rs. 100,000 by the end of the third year.
The cost of the construction work has been correctly capitalised. The cost of the future decommissioning

512
work should be added to this asset so that the total costs of the site can be matched to the revenue from the
copper over the period of mining. This will result in an asset of Rs. 575,131 which should be depreciated
over the three-year life.
Example 5: Georgina
Question: Georgina Company is preparing its financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2015.
The following matters are all outstanding at the year end.
(1) Georgina is facing litigation for damages from a customer for the supply of faulty goods on1
September 2015. The claim, which is for Rs. 500,000, was received on 15 October 2015.Georgina’s
legal advisors consider that Georgina is liable and that it is likely that this claim will succeed. On 25
October 2015 Georgina sent a counter-claim to its suppliers for Rs. 400,000. Georgina’s legal
advisors are unsure whether or not this claim will succeed.
(2) Georgina’s sales director, who was dismissed on 15 September, has lodged a claim for Rs.100,000
for unfair dismissal. Georgina’s legal advisors believe that there is no case to answer and therefore
think it is unlikely that this claim will succeed.
(3) Although Georgina has no legal obligation to do so, it has habitually operated a policy of allowing
customers to return goods within 28 days, even where those goods are not faulty. Georgina estimates
that such returns usually amount to 1% of sales. Sales in September 2015 were Rs. 400,000. By the
end of October 2015, prior to the drafting of the financial statements, goods sold in September for
Rs. 3,500 had been returned.
(4) On 15 September 2015 Georgina announced in the press that it is to close one of its divisions in
January 2016. A detailed closure plan is in place and the costs of closure are reliably estimated at
Rs. 300,000, including Rs. 50,000 for staff relocation.
Required: State, with reasons, how the above should be treated in Georgina’s financial statements for the
year ended 30 September 2015.
Answer:
(1) Litigation for damages
Under IAS 37, a provision should only be recognised when:
 an entity has a present obligation as a result of a past event
 it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation
 a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Applying this to the facts given:
 Georgina’s legal advisors have confirmed that there is a legal obligation. This arose from
the past event of the sale, on 1 September 2015 (i.e. before the year end).
 Probable is defined as ‘more likely than not’. The legal advisors have confirmed thatit is
likely that the claim will succeed.
 A reliable estimate of Rs.500,000 has been made.Therefore a provision of Rs.500,000 should be
made.
Counter-claim
IAS 37 requires that such a reimbursement should only be recognised where receipt is ‘virtually certain’.
Since the legal advisors are unsure whether this claim will succeed no asset should be recognised in
respect of this claim.
Claim for unfair dismissal
In this case, the legal advisers believe that success is unlikely (i.e. possible rather than probable).
Therefore, this claim meets the IAS37 definition of a contingent liability:

513
 a possible obligation
 arising from past events
 whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one ormore
uncertain future events.
The liability is a possible one, which will be determined by a future court case or tribunal. It did arise
from past events (the dismissal had taken place by the year end).
This contingent liability should be disclosed in the financial statements (unless the legal advisors believe
that the possibility of success is in fact remote, and then even no disclosure is necessary).
Returns
Applying the IAS 37 conditions in (1) to the facts given:
Although there is no legal obligation, a constructive obligation arises from Georgina’s past actions.
Georgina has created an expectation in its customers that such refunds will be given.
 As at the year end, based on past experience, an outflow of economic benefits is probable.
 A reliable estimate can be made. This could be 1% × 400,000 but since the returns are now
all in the actual figure of Rs.3,500 can be used as 28 days have already passed.
Therefore a provision of Rs.3,500 should be made.
(4) Closure of division
Applying the above IAS37 conditions in (1) to the facts given:
 A present obligation exists because at the year-end there is a detailed plan in place and the
closure has been announced in the press.
 An outflow of economic benefits is probable.
 A reliable estimate of Rs.300,000 has been made.
However, IAS 37 specifically states in respect of restructuring that any provision should include only
direct expenses, not ongoing expenses such as staff relocation or retraining. Therefore, a provision of
Rs. 250,000 (300,000 – 50,000) should be made.
Example 6: Rowsley
Question: Rowsley is a diverse group with many subsidiaries. The group is proud of its reputation as a
‘caring’ organisation and has adopted various ethical policies towards its employees and the wider
community in which it operates. As part of its Annual Report, the group publishes details of its
environmental policies, which include setting performance targets for activities such as recycling,
controlling emissions of noxious substances and limiting use of non-renewable resources.
The finance director is reviewing the accounting treatment of various items prior to finalising the
accounts for the year ended 31 March 20X4. All items are material in the context of the accounts as a
whole. The accounts are due to be approved by the directors on 30 June 20X4.
Legal claim
During the year to 31 March 20X4, a customer started legal proceedings against the group, claiming that
one of the food products that it manufactures had caused several members of his family to become
seriously ill. The group’s lawyers have advised that this action will probably not succeed.
Environmental impact of overseas subsidiary
The group has an overseas subsidiary that is involved in mining precious metals. These activities cause
significant damage to the environment, including deforestation. The company expects to abandon the mine
in eight years’ time. The mine is situated in a country where there is no environmental legislation obliging
companies to rectify environmental damage and it is very unlikely that any such legislation will be
enacted within the next eight years. It has been estimated that thecost of cleaning the site and re-planting

514
the trees will be Rs. 25 million if the re-planting was successful at the first attempt, but it will probably
be necessary to make a further attempt, which will increase the cost by a further Rs. 5 million.
Required:
Explain how each of the items above should be treated in the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 20X4.
Answer:
Introduction
All scenarios relate to the rules of IAS 37 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets. In
each scenario, the key issue is whether or not a provision should be recognised.

Under IAS 37, a provision should only be recognised when three conditions are met:
 There is a present obligation as a result of a past event; and
 It is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and
 A reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Legal proceedings
It is unlikely that the group has a present obligation to compensate the customer; therefore, no provision
should be
recognised. However, there is a contingent liability. Unless the possibility of a transfer of economic
benefits is remote, the financial statements should disclose a brief description of the nature of the
contingent liability, an estimate of its financial effect and an indication of the uncertainties relating to the
amount or timing of any outflow.
Environmental damage
It is clear that there is no legal obligation to rectify the damage. However, through its published policies,
the group has created expectations on the part of those affected that it will take action to do so. There is,
therefore, a constructive obligation to rectify the damage and a transfer of economic benefits is probable.
The group must recognise a provision for the best estimate of the cost. As the most likely outcome is that
more than one attempt at re-planting will be needed, the full amount of Rs. 30 (25+5) million should be
provided. The expenditure will take place sometime in the future, and so the provision should be
discounted at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the liability.
The financial statements should disclose the carrying amount at the end of the reporting period, a
description of the nature of the obligation and the expected timing of the expenditure. The financial
statements should also give an indication of the uncertainties about the amount and timing of the
expenditure.

Further discussion of IAS 10 and 37:

Date of authorization [IAS 10: 4, 5 & 7 and Companies Act, 2017: Section 232]
In Pakistan, the financial statements must be approved by the board of directors of the company and signed
on behalf of the board of directors by the chief executive and at least one director of the company, and in case
of a listed company also by the chief financial officer. The date of approval by members in annual general
meeting is not the date of authorization.
Example:
The management of an entity completes draft financial statements for the year to 30 June 2012 on 31 August
2012. On 18 September 2012, the board of directors reviews the financial statements and authorises them
for issue. The entity announces its profit and selected ‘other financial information’ on 19 September 2012.
The financial statements are made available to shareholders and others on 1 October 2012. The shareholders
approve the financial statements at their annual meeting on 24 October 2012 and the approved financial
statements are then filed with SECP/registrar on 20 November 2012.
Required:

What is date of authorization for issue of financial statements?

ANSWER:

The financial statements are authorised for issue on 18 September 20X2 (date of board of directors
authorisation for issue).
Events after the reporting period include all events up to the date when the financial statements are
authorized for issue, even if those events occur after the public announcement of profit or of other selected
financial information

Example:

On 30 June 2011, G Limited is involved in a court case. It is being sued by a supplier. On 15 September
2011, the court decided that G Limited should pay the supplier Rs. 45,000 in settlement of the dispute. The
financial statements for G Limited for the year ended 30 June 2011 were authorised for issue on 04 October
2011.
The settlement of the court case is an adjusting event after the reporting period:

 It is an event that occurred between the end of the reporting period and the date the financial
statements were authorised for issue.

 It provided evidence of a condition that existed at the end of the reporting period. In this case,
the court decision provides evidence that the company had an obligation to the supplier as at
the end of the reporting period.
Since it is an adjusting event after the reporting period, the financial statements for the year ended
30 June 20X1 must be adjusted to include a provision for Rs. 45,000. The alteration to the financial
statements should be made before they are approved and authorised for issue.
Accounting treatment of non-adjusting events [IAS 10: 10, 11 & 21]

Non-adjusting events are indicative of conditions that arose after the year end. The accounting
treatment is not to adjust the amounts recognized in financial statements. However, the nature and
financial effect (if can be made) of material non-adjusting events shall be disclosed.

516
Example:

A decline in fair value of investments between the end of the reporting period and the date when the
financial statements are authorized for issue

ANSWER:

An entity does not adjust the amounts recognised in its financial statements for the investments. Similarly, the
entity does not update the amounts disclosed for the investments as at the end of the reporting period,
although it may need to give additional disclosure of nature of event and financial effect, if it is material

Dividends [IAS 10: 12 & 13 and Companies Act, 2017: Section 243]

In Pakistan, final dividend is proposed by the Board of Directors and is approved by members in Annual
General Meeting (AGM) i.e. date of recognising liability is the date of AGM. Interim dividend is declared
by directors i.e. date of declaration and recognizing liability is date of directors meeting.

Example:

ABC Limited is in the process of finalizing its financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2021. Assume
today is 31st August 2021 and the intended date of authorisation of financial statements is September 15,
2021.
a) On July 7, 2021, ABC Limited announced to discontinue producing its Product C due to heavy loss
which represented 22% of total revenue.
b) On July 27, 2021 the auditors have pointed out that certain sales invoices were omitted from recording
during March 2021.
c) The board of directors announced the dividend for its ordinary shareholders of Rs. 3 per share on July
09, 2021 from the profits for the year ended 30 June 2021.
d) On July 12, 2021 information was received that a foreign customer had gone into liquidation in May
2021. There are no chances of recovery of this debt now.
e) On August 20, 2021 it was discovered that another customer, who owed Rs.100,000 at year end was
declared insolvent on 15 August 2021 after its premises burnt down two weeks ago. The premises
were completely destroyed and were not insured.
f) On July 15, 2021 one of corporate customer declared bankruptcy. The liquidator announced that only
30% of the debt would be paid on liquidation.
g) On August 15, 2021 the company sold 1,000 units of Product B for only Rs. 120 per unit due to damage
caused by water spoilage on August 05, 2021. The cost per unit was Rs.200. However, this Product
had been valued at its NRV of Rs. 150 per unit on June 30, 2021.
h) On July 15, 2021 the company sold 1,000 units of Product C for only Rs. 120 per unit. The cost per
unit was Rs. 200.
Required: Identify the above events as either adjusting or non-adjusting and briefly suggest accounting
treatment.
Answer
a) Non-adjusting event – being material, only disclosure shall be made. (Discontinuance of
operations).
b) Adjusting event – The correction of error should be made in financial statements for the year
ended June 30, 20Y1 as it pertained to March 20Y1.
c) Non-adjusting event – No amount shall be recognised in the financial statements in respect of the
dividend announced after the year end. However, the same shall be disclosed in notes to the
financial statements.

517
d) Adjusting event – The foreign debt should be written off as an expense in financial statements
for the year ended June 30, 20Y1 since there are no chances of recovery.
e) Non-adjusting – Although the debt owing by the customer existed at reporting date, the inability
of the customer to pay did not exist at reporting date – this condition only arose in 15 August
20Y1 after the fire. Thus, reporting the debtor at its full carrying amount of Rs. 100,000 is correct
at 30 June 20Y1, according to circumstances in existence at this date.
f) Adjusting event – The debtor’s balance should be written down by 70% amount due to his
bankruptcy/ insolvency. (As Question is silent)
g) Non-adjusting event – The inventory shall continue to be valued at Rs. 150 per unit as the damage
caused after the year end.
h) Adjusting event – The inventory shall be valued at lower of cost (i-e. Rs.150 per unit) or net
realisable value (NRV) i-e. Rs. 120 per unit as the cost of an item would not be recoverable if
inventory will be sold. (As Question is silent)
Example: Fit Limited (FL) is in the course of finalizing its financial statements for the year ended June 30,
2020. Due to international recession the company has lost its major customers. The company now intends to
cease its business operations and liquidate the company.
Required:

What would be impact of above issue on the financial statements?

ANSWER:

FL should not prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. It must also disclose the
fact that the financial statements have not been prepared on going concern basis and give relevant
disclosures under IAS 1
Example: A company has given guarantee for loan taken by its associated company. The company
may or may not have to pay the guaranteed amount as associated company may or may not default.
It is a contingent liability
Example:

A company has not complied with a legal requirement. The law states that penalty can be up to Rs.
1m. However, the law is not enforced strictly, and it is not probable that the amount will have to be
paid. It isa contingent liability
Example:

In a litigation, the entity’s lawyers have advised that damages will have to be paid. However, no reliable
estimate of the amount could be made. It is a contingent liability.

Example:

An entity filed a litigation against one of its vendor claiming damages for Rs. 3 million for supplying the
faulty goods. The company may or may not win the case. This is a contingent asset

Example:

An entity has legal obligation to clean up the environmental damage caused by its operation. The entity is
obliged to rectify damage already caused. The provision shall be recognised.

Example:

518
Alpha Properties owns various office floors in shopping malls across the city of Multan. The government
introduces legislation that requires safety glass to be fitted in all windows on floors above the ground floor.
The legislation only applies initially to new buildings, but all buildings will have to comply within 3 years.
Discuss.

ANSWER

There is no obligating event. Even though Alpha Properties will have to comply within 3 years it can avoid
the future expenditure by its future actions, for example by selling the office floors. There is no present
obligation for that future expenditure and no provision is recognised

Example:

Alpha Chemicals operates in a country where there is no environmental legislation. Its operations cause
pollution in this country. Alpha Chemicals has a widely published policy in which it undertakes to clean up
all contamination that it causes, and it has honoured this published policy. Discuss

ANSWER

There is an obligating event. Alpha Chemicals has a constructive obligation which will lead to an outflow
of resources embodying economic benefits regardless of the future actions of the entity. A provision would
be recognised for the clean-up

The concept of obligation [IAS 37: 20 to 22]

An obligation always involves another party to whom the obligation is owed. It is not necessary, however,
to know the identity of the party to whom the obligation is owed, indeed the obligation may be to the public
at large.

Example:

Alpha Engineering provides 3-year warranty, to make any manufacturing defects good, at time of sale. It
maintains record of product serial number and date of sale but does not keep record relating to customer
identification. Discuss

ANSWER

There is an obligating event. It is not necessary to know the identity of customers to whom obligations
owed.
An obligation always involves a commitment to another party. It means that management decision alone
does not result in obligation. It becomes obligation when it is communicated to those affected by it.
Example:

A week before year end, Alpha Textiles decided to close a factory. The closure will lead to 500
redundancies at a significant cost to the entity. At year end, no news of this plan had been communicated to
the workforce. Discuss

Answer:

There is no obligating event. This will only come into existence when decision is communicated to the
workforce.

519
An event that does not give rise to an obligation immediately may do so at a later date, because of changes in
the law or because an act by the entity gives rise to a constructive obligation
Example:

An entity caused environmental damage and there was no obligation (neither legal nor constructive) to
remedy the consequences. The cause of this damage will become an obligating event when a new law will
require the existing damage to be rectified, or the entity will publicly accepts responsibility for rectificationin
a way that creates a constructive obligation.
Where details of a proposed new law have yet to be finalised, an obligation (legal) arises only when the
legislation is virtually certain to be enacted as drafted. Differences in circumstances surrounding enactment
make it impossible to specify a single event that would make the enactment of a law virtually certain. In
many cases it will be impossible to be virtually certain of the enactment of a law until it is enacted.
Example: Alpha Limited guaranteed ABC Bank that Beta Limited (an associate of Alpha Limited) shall
repayits loan. It is almost certain that Beta Limited will repay the loan and Alpha Limited shall not have to
pay the guaranteed amount. Discuss
Answer:

No provision is recognised. The outflow of economic benefits is not probable.

A summarized chart suggesting the accounting term and treatment based on chances of outflow may be
useful:

Example:
A manufacturer gives warranties at the time of sale to purchasers of its product. Under the terms of the
contract for sale the manufacturer undertakes to make good, by repair or replacement, manufacturing
defects that become apparent within three years from the date of sale. On past experience, it is probablethat
there will be some claims under the warranties and a reliable estimate is available.
Required: Discuss the accounting treatment
ANSWER:

Obligation: The obligating event is the sale of the product with a warranty, which gives rise to a present
legal obligation under the warranty contract.
Outflow: Probable for the warranties as a whole.

Reliable estimate: Available.

520
Conclusion: A provision is recognised for the best estimate of the costs of making good under the warranty
products sold before the end of reporting period.

Example:

An entity in the oil industry causes contamination and operates in a country where there is no environmental
legislation. However, the entity has a widely published environmental policy in which it undertakes to clean
up all contamination that it causes. The entity has a record of honoring this published policy. The entity has
reliably estimated the cost to be incurred on clean-ups.
Required: Discuss the accounting treatment
ANSWER:

Obligation: The obligating event is the contamination of the land, which gives rise to a present constructive
obligation because the conduct of the entity has created a valid expectation on the part of those affected by
it that the entity will clean up contamination.
Outflow: Probable.

Reliable estimate: Available.

Conclusion: A provision is recognised for the best estimate of the costs of clean-up.

Example:

An entity operates an offshore oilfield where its licensing agreement requires it to remove the oil rig at the
end of production and restore the seabed. 90% of the eventual costs relate to the removal of the oil rig and
restoration of damage caused by building it, and 10% arise through the extraction of oil. At the end of the
reporting period, the rig has been constructed but no oil has been extracted. The reliable estimate for
removal of oil rig is available.
Required: Discuss the accounting treatment
ANSWER:

Obligation: The construction of the oil rig creates a present legal obligation under the terms of the licence to
remove the rig and restore the seabed and is thus an obligating event. At the end of the reporting period,
however, there is no obligation to rectify the damage that will be caused by extraction of the oil.
Outflow: Probable.

Reliable estimate: Available.

Conclusion: A provision is recognised for the best estimate of 90% of the eventual costs that relate to the
removal of the oil rig and restoration of damage caused by building it. These costs are included as part of
the cost of the oil rig.
The 10% of costs that arise through the extraction of oil are recognised as a liability when the oil is extracted
and not before
Example:

Under new legislation, an entity is required to fit smoke filters to its factories by 30 June 2022. The entity
has not fitted the smoke filters. The cost of smoke filters is Rs. 15 million. In case of non-compliance a fine
of Rs. 3 million may be payable.

521
Required: What is impact of this at 31 December 2021, the end of the reporting period?
ANSWER

Obligation: There is no obligation because there is no obligating event either for the costs of fitting smoke
filters or for fines under the legislation.
Outflow: Not applicable

Reliable estimate: Available.

Conclusion: No provision is recognised for the cost of fitting the smoke filters.

Example:

Under new legislation, an entity is required to fit smoke filters to its factories by 30 June 2022. The entity
has not fitted the smoke filters. The cost of smoke filters is Rs. 15 million. In case of non-compliance, a
fine of Rs. 3 million may be payable.
Required: What is impact of this at 31 December 2022, the end of the reporting period?
ANSWER

Obligation: There is still no obligation for the costs of fitting smoke filters because no obligating event has
occurred (the fitting of the filters). However, an obligation might arise to pay fines or penalties under the
legislation because the obligating event has occurred (the non-compliant operation of the factory).
Outflow: Assessment of probability of incurring fines and penalties by non-compliant operation depends
on the details of the legislation and the stringency of the enforcement regime.
Reliable estimate: Available.

Conclusion: No provision is recognised for the costs of fitting smoke filters. However, a provision is
recognised for the best estimate of any fines and penalties if probable to be imposed

Example:

The government introduces a number of changes to the income tax system. As a result of these changes, an
entity in the financial services sector will need to retrain a large proportion of its administrative and sales
workforce in order to ensure continued compliance with financial services regulation. At the end of the
reporting period, no retraining of staff has taken place.
Required: Discuss the accounting treatment
Answer:

Obligation: There is no obligation because no obligating event (retraining) has taken place.

Outflow: Not applicable.


Reliable estimate: Irrelevant.
Conclusion: No provision is recognised Example:

After a wedding in 2020, ten people died, possibly as a result of food poisoning from products sold by the
entity. Legal proceedings are started seeking damages of Rs. 20 million from the entity but it disputes

liability. Up to the date of authorisation of the financial statements for the year to 31 December 2020 for
issue, the entity’s lawyers advise that it is probable that the entity will not be found liable.
Required: Discuss the accounting treatment for financial statements for year 2020.
Answer:

Obligation: On the basis of the evidence available when the financial statements were approved, there is no
obligation as a result of past events.
Outflow: Not applicable.

Reliable estimate: Available.

Conclusion: No provision is recognised. The matter is disclosed as a contingent liability unless the
probability of any outflow is regarded as remote.

Example:

After a wedding in 2020, ten people died, possibly as a result of food poisoning from products sold by the
entity. Legal proceedings are started seeking damages of Rs. 20 million from the entity but it disputes
liability. Up to the date of authorisation of the financial statements for the year to 31 December 2020 for
issue, the entity’s lawyers advise that it is probable that the entity will not be found liable.
However, when the entity prepares the financial statements for the year to 31 December 2021, its lawyers
advise that, owing to developments in the case, it is probable that the entity will be found liable for the
damages as claimed.
Required: Discuss the accounting treatment for financial statements for the year 2021.
Answer:

Obligation: On the basis of the evidence available, there is a present obligation.

Outflow: Probable

Reliable estimate: Available i.e. Rs. 20 million.

Conclusion: A provision is recognised for the best estimate of the amount to settle the obligation i.e. Rs.
20 million
Example:

A furnace has a lining that needs to be replaced every five years for technical reasons. At the end of the
reporting period, the lining has been in use for three years. The cost of replacement after two years is Rs. 10
million.
Required: Discuss the accounting treatment

ANSWER:

Obligation: There is no present obligation.


Outflow: Not applicable.

Reliable estimate: Irrelevant.

523
Conclusion: No provision is recognised. The cost of replacing the lining is not recognised because, at the
end of the reporting period, no obligation to replace the lining exists independently of the company’s future
actions—even the intention to incur the expenditure depends on the company deciding to continue operating
the furnace or to replace the lining.

Instead of a provision being recognised, the depreciation of the lining takes account of its consumption,
i.e. it is depreciated over five years. The re-lining costs then incurred are capitalised with the
consumption of each new lining shown by depreciation over the subsequent five years.
Example:

An airline is required by law to overhaul its aircraft once every three years. The next overhauling is
estimated to cost Rs. 45 million.
Required: Discuss the accounting treatment

ANSWER:

Obligation: There is no present obligation.

Outflow: Not applicable.

Reliable estimate: Irrelevant.

Conclusion: No provision is recognised. The costs of overhauling aircraft are not recognised as a provision
for the same reasons as the cost of replacing the lining is not recognised as a provision in previous scenario.
Even a legal requirement to overhaul does not make the costs of overhaul a liability, because no obligation
exists to overhaul the aircraft independently of the entity’s future actions—the entity could avoid the future
expenditure by its future actions, for example by selling the aircraft.
Instead of a provision being recognised, the depreciation of the aircraft takes account of the future incidence
of maintenance costs, i.e., an amount equivalent to the expected maintenance costs is depreciated over three
years
Uncertainties surrounding the amount to be recognised as a provision are dealt with by various means
according to the circumstances. The following guidance is relevant:

Circumstances Suggested best estimate


The provision being measured involves Use expected value i.e. the obligation is estimated by
a large population of items. weighting all possible outcomes by their associated

outcomes and each point in that range is
as likely as any other.
A single obligation is being measured. The individual most likely outcome may be the best estimate
of the liability. However, even in such a case, the entity
considers other possible outcomes.
Where other possible outcomes are either The best estimate will be the higher or lower amount.
mostly higher or mostly lower than the
most likely outcome.
Example:

An entity sells goods with a warranty under which customers are covered for the cost of repairs of any
manufacturing defects that become apparent within the first six months after purchase.

524
If minor defects were detected in all products sold, repair costs of Rs. 850,000 would result. If major defects
were detected in all products sold, repair costs of Rs. 4,500,000 would result.
The entity’s past experience and future expectations indicate that, for the coming year, 75% of the goods
sold will have no defects, 20% of the goods sold will have minor defects and 5% of the goods sold will have
major defects.

Required

Calculate the amount of provision to be recognised in respect of warranty

ANSWER:

The best estimate in this case is expected value of the warranty expenditure. The expected value of
the cost of repairs is
Outcome x Probability
Rs. Nil x 75% -
Rs. 850,000 x 20% 170,000
Rs. 4,500,000 x 5% 225,000
Total 395,000
Example: Many customers (i-e.30 out of 40) of Zeta Limited (ZL) filed claims for compensation due to
supply of faulty goods. ZL estimates that each claim will be settled in the range of Rs. 80,000 to Rs. 100,000
per claim, each amount in this range is as likely as any other. Calculate the amount of provision

ANSWER:

The mid-point should be used i.e. Rs. 90,000 per claim x 30 customers = Rs. 2,700,000 (Provision).

Example:

A suit for infringement of patents, seeking damages of Rs. 2 million, was filed by a third party. Entity’s
legal consultant is of the opinion that an unfavourable outcome is most likely.
On the basis of past experience, he has advised that there is 60% probability that the amount of damages
would be Rs. 1 million and 40% likelihood that the amount would be Rs. 1.5 million.
Required: Briefly advise on measurement of above provision
ANSWER:

The entity should make a provision of the amount of Rs. 1 million being most likely outcome. The expected
value is more suitable when there is large population of similar items

Example:

An entity has to rectify a serious fault in a major plant that it has constructed for a customer. The individual
most likely outcome for the repair to succeed at the first attempt at a cost of Rs. 200,000. However, there is
significant chance that second attempt would be necessary costing an additional Rs. 80,000.
Required: Briefly advise on measurement of provision

525
ANSWER:

A provision of Rs. 280,000 is best estimate as there is significant chance that second attempt would be
necessary.

Example:

An entity in the oil industry causes contamination but cleans up only when required to do so under the laws
of the particular country in which it operates. One country in which it operates has had no legislationrequiring
cleaning up, and the entity has been contaminating land in that country for several years. At 31 December
2020 it is virtually certain that a draft law requiring a clean-up of land already contaminated will be enacted
shortly after the year-end. The cleaning up will cost Rs. 4 million in present value terms.
Required: Discuss accounting treatment
ANSWER:

The obligating event is the contamination of the land because of the virtual certainty of legislation requiring
cleaning up and since outflow is probable and a reliable estimate of Rs. 4,000,000 is available, a provision
is recognised for the best estimate of the costs of the clean-up.

Example:

Z Limited installed a plant costing Rs. 25 million with a useful life of 10 years. There is legal requirement
to restore the site used by the plant at the end of its useful life which shall cost Rs. 1 million. The plant may
be sold for Rs. 3.5 million at the end of useful life. The assistant accountant is of the view that there is no
need to create the provision for restoration as this shall be adjusted against the expected gain on disposal of
the plant.

Required: Comment on the statement made by the assistant accountant


ANSWER:
Gains from the expected disposal of assets are not taken into account while measuring a provision.
Therefore, a provision at present value of Rs. 1 million shall be recognised

Example:

Daniyal Distribution (DD) are dealers of Product CC which are sold to customers with one-year warranty.
The product is manufactured by Maria Multinational (MM).
Under the warranty arrangement, DD just verifies customer data on warranty claims and repair and
replacement is made directly by MM. In case MM defaults, DD has no obligation. DD received 50 claims
and estimates that repair and replacement would cost Rs. 400,000 which shall be settled by MM.
Required: Discuss the accounting treatment for DD.
ANSWER:

DD has not obligation to settle the claim and therefore neither the provision nor the reimbursement asset is
recognised. There is no disclosure requirement.

Example:

Daniyal Distribution (DD) are dealers of Product CC which are sold to customers with one-year warranty.
The product is manufactured by Maria Multinational (MM).

526
Under the warranty arrangement, DD is responsible to repair and replace the items and submits the detail of
warranty claims to MM which pays 80% of the cost incurred to DD. In the past, MM has never denied any
claim of repairs and replacements made by DD.
DD received 50 claims and estimates that repair and replacement would cost Rs. 400,000

Required: Discuss the accounting treatment for DD.

ANSWER:

DD has present obligation to settle the claims and a provision of Rs. 400,000 shall be recognised. A separate
reimbursement asset of Rs. 320,000 (80%) is also to be recognised. In SPL the net expense of Rs. 80,000
may be presented. Disclosure of reimbursement shall also be made.

Example:

Daniyal Distribution (DD) are dealers of Product CC which are sold to customers with one-year warranty.
The product is manufactured by Maria Multinational (MM).
Under the warranty arrangement, DD is responsible to repair and replace the items and submits the detail of
warranty claims to MM which evaluates claims and may or may not pay the claims based on their evaluation
criteria.
DD received 50 claims and estimates that repair and replacement would cost Rs. 400,000. It is probable
that Rs. 100,000 would be received from MM.
Required: Discuss the accounting treatment for DD.
ANSWER:

DD has present obligation to settle the claims and a provision of Rs. 400,000 shall be recognised. No
separate asset shall be recognised but a contingent asset of Rs. 100,000 shall be disclosed.

Example:

A claim has been made against X Limited for damage suffered by adjacent property due to work being
undertaken on building of X Limited by a sub-contractor. The lawyers have confirmed that X Limited will
have to pay damages of Rs. 3 million but due to a clause in agreement with sub-contractor will also be able
to recover Rs. 2 million from the sub-contractor.
The recovery from sub-contractor is virtually certain.Required: Pass the journal entry for the above
Answer:

Debit Rs. Credit Rs.


Receivable from sub-Contractor 2000,000
Compensation expense (net) 1,000,000
Provision for damages 3,000,000

Review Provisions shall be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to
reflect the current best estimate.
Reversal If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision shall be reversed.
Change in present Where discounting is used, the carrying amount of a provision increases in each
value period to reflect the passage of time. This increase is recognised as borrowing cost.

527
Example:

In Year 1, a claim of Rs. 12 million was filed against the company. The lawyers were of the opinion that it
is probable to pay the damages of Rs. 12 million.
In Year 2, the case is still pending but lawyers now estimate that an amount of Rs. 15 million might be
payable.
In Year 3, the case is still pending and due to development in the case lawyers now estimate that only Rs. 9
million might be payable

Use of provision [IAS 37: 61 & 62]
A provision shall be used only for expenditures for which the provision was originally recognised. Only
expenditures that relate to the original provision are set against it. Setting expenditures against a provision
that was originally recognised for another purpose would conceal the impact of two different events.
Example:

528
A company has created a provision of Rs.300,000 for the cost of warranties and guarantees. The company
now finds that it will probably has to pay Rs.250,000 to settle a legal dispute.
It cannot use the warranties provision for the costs of the legal dispute. An extra Rs. 250,000 expense must
be recognised.
Example:
Last year an employee filed a claim of Rs. 4 million against the company. The lawyers were of the opinion
that it is probable to pay the damages of Rs. 4 million and therefore, the company recognised the provisionfor
this amount.
During the year, the case has now been decided in favour of the company. However, in another legal suit
for copyright infringement against the company (filed during the year) the company had to pay damages of
Rs. 4 million. The payment has not been recorded yet.

Example:
Quality Garments Limited (QGL) is a manufacturer of readymade garments. During May 2014, a fire broke
out in one of its units which resulted in deaths and severe injuries to a number of workers.
At the time of finalization of QGL's financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014, the following
issues pertaining to the fire are under consideration:
i. Families of certain deceased workers have filed compensation claims amounting to Rs. 60 million. A
government agency has imposed a penalty of Rs. 35 million for negligence on the part of the
company. QGL's lawyers anticipate that the company would have to pay Rs. 20 million and Rs. 10
million to settle the workers' claims and the penalty respectively.
ii. To maintain goodwill of the company, the Board of Directors is considering additional payments to
the families of the deceased workers amounting to Rs. 25 million.
iii. Loss to fixed assets and inventories is estimated at Rs. 60 million. In this respect, a fire insurance
claim has been lodged. Due to certain policy clauses, QGL’s consultant anticipates that the claim
for Rs. 15 million may not be accepted. The matter is under negotiation with the insurance company.
iv. Due to closure of the unit for repair, QGL would not be able to meet sales orders of Rs. 50 million.
This will reduce QGL's profitability for the half year ending 31 December 2014 by Rs. 10 million.
Required:

Discuss how the above issues should be dealt with in the financial statements of QGL for the year ended
30 June 2014. Support your answers in the context of relevant International Financial Reporting Standards.

529
Answer:

Part (i) Liability for workers’ compensation and penalty

Provisions are recognised when there is present obligation, probable outflow and reliable estimate. All the
conditions as mentioned for provisions are met to the extent of Rs. 20 million for the claims of families of
workers and Rs. 10 million for the penalty levied by a government agency. Therefore, a provision of Rs. 30
million (20+10) would be made.
For the remaining amount of Rs. 65 million (60+35-30), it is not probable that an outflow of economic
benefits will be required. Therefore, a contingent liability would be disclosed giving information about
nature, estimate of financial effect, indication of uncertainties and possibility of reimbursement.
Part (ii) Additional compensation for the families of the deceased workers

The obligation for additional compensation to the families of the deceased workers is neither legal nor
constructive obligation as the matter is still under consideration and no formal announcement was made that
may create a valid expectation.
There is neither present obligation (for provision) nor possible obligation (for disclosure as contingent
liability). Therefore, no provision or disclosure is required in this respect.
Part (iii) Insurance claim

This is reimbursement scenario. Reimbursement is recognised as asset when virtually certain and disclosed
as contingent asset when probable.
If the insurance claim to the extent of Rs. 45 million (60-15) is virtually certain to be received; an insurance
claim would be recognized for this amount.
If an inflow for the remaining amount of Rs. 15 million is probable, a contingent asset would be
disclosedgiving information about nature and financial effect. OR where an inflow for the remaining
amount of Rs. 15 million is not probable, no contingent asset should be disclosed.
Part (iv) Reduction in future profit by Rs. 10m for the half year ending 31 Dec 2014

There is no present obligation to incur future losses. No provision or disclosure is required for future
operating losses as they arise from future events not past events.
Example:
SK Limited is engaged in trading of chemical products and has entered into following contract on December
20, 2020 with XYZ Limited (a firm contract) to buy 500 units of Product X at Rs. 10 to be delivered on
January 20, 2021. On December 31, 2020 the purchase price of Product X has fallen to Rs. 7 per unit.
Required: Record journal entries due to change in purchase price at December 31, 2020, the year-end.
ANSWER:

Expected loss on firm purchase contract Rs. 10 – 7 = Rs. 3 x 500 units = Rs.

Implementation and announcement of restructuring [IAS 37: 73 & 74]

Evidence that an entity has started to implement a restructuring plan would be provided, for example, by
dismantling plant or selling assets or by the public announcement of the main features of the plan.
Only if public announcement is made in such a way and in sufficient detail that it gives rise to valid
expectations in other parties such as customers, suppliers and employees (or their representatives) that the
entity will carry out the restructuring.
If it is expected that there will be a long delay before the restructuring begins or that the restructuring will
take an unreasonably long time, it is unlikely that the plan will raise a valid expectation on the part of others
that the entity is at present committed to restructuring, because the timeframe allows opportunities for the
entity to change its plans.
Status of management decision [IAS 37: 75 to 77]

A constructive obligation is not created solely by a management decision. It must have been implemented or
announced before the end of reporting period as well. If an entity implements or announces, only after the
reporting period, disclosure is required under IAS 10. Although a constructive obligation is not createdsolely
by a management decision, an obligation may result from other earlier events together with such adecision.
For example, negotiations with employee representatives for termination payments, or with purchasers for
the sale of an operation, may have been concluded subject only to board approval. Once that approval has
been obtained and communicated to the other parties, the entity has a constructive obligation to restructure.
In some countries, notification to employees’ representatives may be necessary before the board decision is
taken. Because a decision by such a board involves communication to these representatives, it may result
in a constructive obligation to restructure.
Example:
On 12 December 2010 the board of an entity decided to close down a division. Before the end of the
reporting period (31 December 2010) the decision was not communicated to any of those affected and no
other steps were taken to implement the decision.
Required: Assuming that the reliable estimate is available, what will be accounting treatment for the
above?
Answer:

There has been no obligating event and so there is no obligation as the decision has not been communicated
and no constructive obligation has arisen. Therefore, no provision is recognized
Example:
On 12 December 2010, the board of an entity decided to close down a division making a particular product.
On 20 December 2010 a detailed plan for closing down the division was agreed by the board; letters were
sent to customers warning them to seek an alternative source of supply and redundancy notices were sent
to the staff of the division.
Required: Assuming that the reliable estimate is available, what will be accounting treatment for the
above?
Answer:

531
Obligation: The obligating event is the communication of the decision to the customers and employees,
which gives rise to a constructive obligation from that date, because it creates a valid expectation that the
division will be closed.
Outflow: Probable

Reliable estimate: Available.

Conclusion: A provision is recognised at 31 December 2010 for the best estimate of the costs of closing
the division.

Measurement [IAS 37: 80 to 83] (cost of restructuring)

A restructuring provision shall include only the direct expenditures arising from the restructuring, which
are those that are both:

 Necessary for restructuring.


 not associated with the ongoing activities of the entity. (Future operating costs are not part of
provision)
A restructuring provision does not include such costs as:

 retraining or relocating continuing staff;


 marketing; or
 investment in new systems and distribution networks.
Identifiable future operating losses up to the date of a restructuring are not included in a provision, unless
they relate to an onerous contract. Gains on the expected disposal of assets are not taken into account in
measuring a restructuring provision, even if the sale of assets is a result of the restructuring. These
expenditures relate to the future conduct of the business and are not liabilities for restructuring at the end
of the reporting period. Such expenditures are recognised on the same basis as if they arose independently
of a restructuring.
Example:
S & Co has year-end of 30 June. On June 25, 2021 S & Co has decided to change its management and
operational structure in order to work efficiently and competitively. The plan has been formally approved
and announced to all major stakeholders. The implementation shall start from August 31, 2021. The
following costs are expected to be incurred:
Answer:

Rs.
Shifting allowance to employees 500,000
Consultant fee 700,000
New computer and distribution network systems 1,500,000
Staff training 50,000
Advertisement of new and improved operations 120,000
Implementation expenses specifically incurred for restructuring 450,000
Required: Which of the above shall be included in measurement of provision for restructuring?

532
Answer: Only consultant fee of Rs. 700,000 and implementation expenses of Rs. 450,000 shall be included
in the measurement of the provision Loan guarantee / joint obligations [IAS 37: 27 to 29]

An entity may become surety (guarantor) for loan granted to some other entity. These are disclosed as
contingent liabilities being possible obligation. However, in case of default, possible obligation becomes
present obligation and a provision is to be recognised.
Where an entity is jointly and severally liable for an obligation, the part of the obligation that is expected to
be met by other parties is treated as a contingent liability. The entity recognizes a provision for the part of the
obligation for which an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is probable, except in the
extremely rare circumstances where no reliable estimate can be made.
Example:
Naba Power Limited (NPL) is preparing its financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2017. Following
issues are under consideration.
(a) NPL entered into a contract on 1 August 2016 to supply customised batteries to a new customer. As
per the terms of the agreement, NPL is required to deliver 50,000 batteries at the end of each month
from December 2016 to September 2017 at a consideration of Rs. 15 million per month. Penalty for
each late delivery or cancellation of the contract would be Rs. 5 million and Rs. 20 million
respectively.
On 1 August 2016 NPL had estimated that cost of production would be Rs. 10 million per month. However,
cost of production increased subsequently. Despite the increase in the cost of production, NPL made timely
deliveries till May 2017 at a total cost of Rs. 99 million. Supply for June 2017 was made on 15 July 20X7
at a total cost of Rs. 18 million of which Rs. 14 million had been incurred till 30 June 2017. It is estimated
that Rs. 55 million would need to be spent to make the last 3 deliveries within time.
(b) On 15 May 2017 an explosion occurred at one of NPL’s factories. Several claims were filed by
affected employees against NPL. The details are as under:
(i) Seven injured employees made claims before 30 June 2017 and further three injured employees
lodged claims in July 2017. According to NPL’s legal advisor, the probability that NPL would be
determined to be negligent is 80%. If NPL is found negligent, the estimated average cost of each
payout will be Rs. 1 million.
(ii) Additional four employees made claims before 30 June 2017, seeking compensation for the stress,
rather than any injury, caused to them. If these claims succeed, the legal advisor is of the view
that the estimated average cost of each payout will be Rs. 0.7 million. However, according to the
legal advisor, the chance that these employees will succeed is 30%.
(iii) 80% of all such payouts are recoverable according to the terms of the insurance policy.

(c) On 1 November 2016 a new law was introduced requiring all factories to install specialized safety
equipment within five months. The equipment costing Rs. 15 million was ordered in February 2017
to be installed by 30 April 2017. However the supplier delayed installation till 31 July 2017. On 5
August 2017 the company received a notice from the authorities levying a penalty of Rs. 1.6 million
i.e. Rs. 0.4 million for each month during which the violation continued. It is probable that this
penalty will be recovered from the supplier.
Required: Discuss how each of the above issues should be dealt with in NPL’s financial statements for the
year ended 30 June 2017. (Quantify effects where practicable).

533
Answer:

Part (a) Penalty, write-down and onerous contract

NPL should recognize following provision / expense as on 30 June 2017:

Rs. in million
Provision for penalty (Note 1) 5
Write down to NRV [14 minus 11 (15–4)] (Note 2) 3
Provision for onerous contract [45–55] (Note 3) 10
18
Note 1: Supply for June 2017 was made after delay of 15 days so as per terms of agreement provision for
penalty should be made for this adjusting event.
Note 2: Since cost incurred till 30 June 2017 (Rs. 14 million) is higher than the net realizable value of
inventory i.e., Rs.11 million (selling price of 15 million less 4 (18 – 4) million cost to be incurred) expense
of Rs. 3 million related to write-down of inventory to NRV should be recognized.
Note 3: Since estimated cost of Rs. 55 million which would need to be spent is more than the total revenue of
Rs. 45 million for last 3 deliveries, the contract is considered as onerous and the provision should be made
at Rs. 10 million that is lower of cost of fulfilling it (Rs. 10 million i.e., 55 – 45) or penalty arising fromfailure
to fulfil it (Rs 20 million).
Part (b) Claim regarding NPL’s negligence

As on 30 June 2017 NPL should recognize a provision for ten injured employees because at reporting date
there is present obligation in respect of past event (injuries suffered from explosion occurred before year
end). NPL’s lawyers estimate that probability of NPL being declared negligent is 80% which is considered
as probable. Therefore, provision should be made for total payout of Rs 10 million (1 million for each
employee).
According to the terms of insurance policy, 80% of the cost is recoverable from insurance company so it is
virtually certain that reimbursement will be made. According to IAS 37, NPL should recognize a separate
asset (receivable) of Rs. 8 million (10 million × 80%). In the statement of comprehensive income provision
may be presented net of reimbursement amount.
As per legal adviser, there is only 30% chance that the claims lodged against the company for undue stress
will succeed so payment of Rs 2.8 million (0.7 million × 4) is possible (not a present) obligation.
Consequently, provision is not required and NPL should disclose this amount as contingent liability giving
brief description of the event and estimate of financial effect.
Part (c) Penalty for non-compliance of new law

As on 30 June 2017, NPL should recognize expense of Rs. 1.2 million (0.4×3) in relation to penalty for non-
compliance of new law from 1 April to 30 June 2017 because at the reporting date there is a present
obligation (payment of penalty) in respect of a past event (non-compliance of statutory requirement). NPL
should disclose the penalty amount in its financial statement.
Since the reimbursement of penalty amount from the vendor is probable, the reimbursement of only two
months (May and June 2017) of Rs. 0.8 million (0.4×2) should be disclosed as a contingent asset giving
brief description of the event and estimate of financial effect.
Example:

534
In 2000, an entity involved in nuclear activities recognizes a provision for decommissioning costs of Rs.
300 million. The provision is estimated using the assumption that decommissioning will take place in 60–
70 years’ time. However, there is a possibility that it will not take place until 100–110 years’ time, in which
case the present value of the costs will be significantly reduced to Rs. 136 Million.
The narrative illustrative disclosures may be presented as follows:
Disclosure: A provision of Rs. 300 million has been recognised for decommissioning costs. These costs are
expected to be incurred between 2060 and 2070; however, there is a possibility that decommissioning will
not take place until 2100–2110. If the costs were measured based upon the expectation that they would not
be incurred until 2100–2110 the provision would be reduced to Rs. 136 million.

Aggregation [IAS 37: 87]


In determining which provisions or contingent liabilities may be aggregated to form a class, it is necessary
to consider whether the nature of the items is sufficiently similar for a single statement about them to fulfil
the disclosure requirements.
Example:
An entity manufactures two electronic products, Product A and Product B. Product A is sold under warranty
for 3 years while Product B is sold under warranty for 5 years. The provision of warranty on both products
may be aggregated.
Example: It is not appropriate to aggregate the provision of warranty and provision relating to legal
proceedings for copyright issue.
Where disclosure might affect entity’s position [IAS 37: 92]
In extremely rare cases, disclosure of some or all of the information required by IAS 37 disclosures can be
expected to prejudice seriously the position of the entity in a dispute with other parties on the subject matter
of the provision, contingent liability or contingent asset.
In such cases, an entity need not disclose the information, but shall disclose the general nature of the dispute,
together with the fact that, and reason why, the information has not been disclosed.

535
IFRIC – I
Changes in existing decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities
IFRIC 1 applies where an entity has previously included decommissioning or restoration costswithin the
cost of an item of property, plant or equipment, and created a corresponding provision. Such a provision
should be discounted to present values using a discount rate.
IFRIC 1 mainly addresses how an entity accounts for any subsequent changes to the amountof the liability
that may arise from;

 a revision in the timing or amount of the estimated costs or


 a change in the current market-based discount rate.

Background and issue


Many entities have obligations to dismantle, remove and restore items of property, plant and equipment’.
Under IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, the cost of an item of property, plantand equipment includes
the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is
located.

IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets contains requirements on howto measure
decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities. This Interpretation provides guidance on how to
account for the effect of subsequent changes in the measurement of existing decommissioning, restoration
and similar liabilities.
Scope

IFRIC 1 applies to changes in the measurement of any existing decommissioning, restorationor similar
liability that is both:

 Recognised as part of the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment inaccordance with
IAS 16
 Recognised as a liability in accordance with IAS 37.
For example, a decommissioning, restoration or similar liability may exist for decommissioning aplant or
rehabilitating environmental damage, in extractive industries, or the removal of equipment.

Point to remember:
Effect of reimbursement of all provision is to be taken to P&L except decommissioning liability.

Consensus:
Changes in measurement of an existing decommissioning, restoration and similar liability that result from:
i. Changes in cash flows or
ii. A change in the discount rate shall be accounted for in accordance with following paragraphs:

A. If the related asset measured using the cost model:


a) Changes in liability shall be:
 Added to, or
 Deducted from,
 The cost of the related asset in the current period.
For example:
Asset Xxx or Provision xxx

536
Provision xxx Asset xxx

Q1 and Q.2 from question bank


If the change in the liability had resulted from a change in the discount rate, instead of a change in the
estimated cash flows, the accounting for the change would have been the same but the next year’s finance
cost would have reflected the new discount rate. (e.g. suppose rate is changed to 6%)
a) The amount deducted from cost of the asset shall not exceed its carrying amount. If a decrease in
liability exceeds the carrying amount of an asset, the excess shall be recognized in profit or loss.
b) If the adjustment results in an addition to the cost of an asset, the entity shall consider whether this
is an indication that new carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable.If it is such an
indication, the entity shall test the asset for impairment by estimating its recoverable amount, and
shall account for any impairment loss (if any).

B. If the related asset is measured using the revaluation model:


a) Changes in liability alter the revaluation surplus or loss previously recognized on that asset, so that:
i. a decrease in liability shall be recognized in OCI and increase the revaluation surplus within
equity, except that
 it shall be recognized in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation loss on the
asset that was previously recognized in profit or loss.
For example:
Provision xxx
R. Surplus(OCI) xxx

or in case of previous deficit recognized in profit or loss:


Provision xxx
P/L (other income) xxx

ii)An increase in liability shall be recognized in profit or loss, except that it shall be recognized in
OCIand reduce the surplus within equity to the extent of any credit balance existing in the revaluation
surplus for the asset.
P.L (other expenses) Xxx
Provision xxx
or in case of previous surplus on revaluation:
Rev. Surplus(OCI) Xxx
Provision xxx

537
Q3 and Q.4 from question bank
b) A change in liability is an indication that asset may have to be revalued in order to ensure that
the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair
value at the end of the reporting period. If a revaluation is necessary, all assets of that class shall be
revalued.
c) The change in the revaluation surplus arising from a change in the liability is separately identified
and disclosed as such.
d) The periodic unwinding of discount shall be recognized in profit or loss as finance cost as it occurs.
Capitalization under IAS-23 is not permitted.

IFRIC-1- Q.B

Q.4 GLADIATOR LIMITED [IFRIC 1 with revaluation model]


Faraz is a chartered accountant and employed as Finance Manager of Gladiator Limited (GL). He has
recently returned after a long medical leave and has been provided with draft financial statements of GL for
the year ended 30 June 2017. Following figures are reflected in the draft financial statements:

------- Rs. in million -------


Profit before tax 125
Total assets 1,420
Total liabilities 925

While reviewing the financial statements, he noted the following issues:


As at 30 June 2017, dismantling cost relating to a plant has increased from initial estimate of Rs. 30 million
to Rs. 40 million. Further, fair value of the plant on that date was assessed at Rs. 112 million (net of present
value of dismantling cost). [Sometimes this sentence is written as: Fair value of plant is112 million net of
dismantling cost]. No accounting entries have been made in respect of increase in dismantling liability and
revaluation of the plant. Appropriate discount rate is 8%.
The plant had a useful life of 5 years when it was purchased on 1 July 2015. The carrying value of plant and
related revaluation surplus included in the financial statements are Rs. 135.4 million (after depreciation for
the year ended 30 June 2017) and Rs. 3.15 million (after transferring incremental depreciation (means
surplus to retained earnings) for the year ended 30 June 2017) respectively.
Required:
Determine the revised amounts of profit before tax, total assets and total liabilities for the year ended
30.06.2017 after incorporating the impact of above adjustments, if any.

make financial statements misleading.
(ii) Principle of professional behavior:
This principle imposes an obligation on all chartered accountants to comply with the relevant laws
and regulation and avoid any action that discredits the profession. Jamal has breached this principle
as his decision to defer incorporation of new decommissioning cost is not in accordance with IFRSs.

Example 1
On 1 January 2021, Adeel Limited (AL) installed a plant at a total cost of Rs. 100,000 with useful life of 5
years and nil residual value. There is legal requirement to dismantle the plant at the end of useful life. It was
estimated that dismantling would require cash outflows of Rs. 16,105 at the end of useful life. Relevant pre-
tax discount rate was estimated as 10%.
On 31 December 2021, the estimate of dismantling cash outflows and relevant pre-tax discount rate was
revised to Rs. 19,735 and 11%, respectively.
On 31 December 2022, the estimate of dismantling cash outflows and relevant pre-tax discount rate was

IFRS-8 [Operating Segments]:
This standard shall be applied after preparing the financial statements correctly under therequirements
of other IFRS.

[Para 1]
Core Principle: An entity shall disclose information to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the
nature and financial effects of business activities in which it engages and economic environments in which it
operates.

[Para 2]Scope:
This IFRS shall apply to:
a) The separate financial statements of an entity:
i) Whose debt or equity instruments (means shares or debentures) are traded in a publicmarket
(means e.g. stock exchange) ; or
ii) That files, or is in the process of filing its financial statements with a securities commission (e.g
SECP) for the purpose of issuing shares or debentures in a public market; and
b) The Consolidated financial statements of group with a parent:
 Whose debt or equity instruments (means shares or debentures) are traded in a publicmarket
(means e.g stock exchange) ; or
 That files, or is in the process of filing its financial statements with a securities commission (e.g
SECP) for the purpose of issuing shares or debentures in a public market;

[Para 4]
If a financial report contains both the consolidated financial statements of a parent as well as separate financial
statements’ segment information is required only in consolidated financial statements.

Definition of an Operating Segment [Para 5]


An operating segment is a component of an entity:
a) That engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (e.g. Paints,
Chemicals and Garments department) (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other
components of the same entity);
b) Whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision marker
(e.g: Chief executive officer or Chief Operating Officer) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the
segment and assess its performance; and
c) For which discrete financial information is available.

[Para 6]
Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment, For example, head office or research and
development department may not earn revenue and therefore would not be operating segments.
Para 13]
Reportable Segments : An entity shall report separately information about an operating segment that meets any
of the following quantitative thresholds (means all operating segments are not reportable segment):
a) Its reported revenue, including both sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfers,is
10% or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments.

554
b) The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10% or more of the Greater of:
(i) The combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss; and
(ii) The combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported a loss; or
[Means the above threshold shall be 10% of profit or loss whichever is higher]

Q. The following information relates to a quoted company with five divisions of operation:
Operating Profit Loss
Segments Rs. M Rs. m
Division 1 10
Division 2 25
Division 3 40
Division 4 35
Division 5 40
Total 110 40

Required: Which of the business divisions are reportable segments under IFRS 8 Operating segments?

A.
Profit Loss Reportable segment
Rs. M Rs. m
Division 1 10 No
Division 2 25 Yes
Division 3 40 Yes
Division 4 35 Yes
Division 5 40 Yes
Total 110 40
Greater of theabove 110
Materiality threshold(10%) 11

c) Its assets are 10% or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.
[Para 15] [75% RULE]
If the total external revenue reported by reportable segment constitutes less than 75% of the entity’s external
revenue, additional operating segments shall be identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the
above quantitative thresholds) until at least 75% of the entity’s external revenue is included in reportable
segments.
Example: Reportable Segments
A listed entity reports six different types of business to its chief executive. In the most recent financial year, the
revenue of these six operations (including those to internal customers), were as follows:
Rs in millions
Business type Internal revenue External revenue Total revenue
A 0 40 40
B 0 20 20
C 12 6 18
D 5 5 10
E 0 7 7
F 0 5 5
17 83 100

555
Required: Which of the above business types are reportable segments under IFRS 8 operating segments?

Ans.
Business Internal External Total Notes
Type revenue revenue revenue
A 0 40 40 Reportable segment because 40% of total > 10%
threshold test
B 0 20 20 Reportable segment because 20% of total > 10%
threshold test
C 12 6 18 Reportable segment because 18% of total > 10%
threshold test
D 5 5 10 Reportable segment because 10% of total = 10%
threshold test
E 0 7 7 Not reportable(7% of total < 10% threshold)
F 0 5 5 Not reportable (5% of total < 10% threshold)
17 83 100
Note that the external revenue of segments reportable under the 10% test represents 71M (40 + 20 + 6 + 5) out of
the 83 M. They therefore represent 85.5% (71M/83M x 100) of external revenue and no additional segments
needed to be reported under the “75% rule”.

Discretion of management:
Operating segments that do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds may be considered reportable, and
separately disclosed, if management believes that information about the segment would be useful to users of the
financial statements.

Reportable segment Basis (W 1)
A Revenue/profit/assets
B Revenue/profit/assets
C Profit
D Revenue/profit/assets
F Profit/assets

Segment E is not a reporting segment because it does not meet any of the criteria.

W-1 Identification of reportable segment 10% threshold


Segment Revenue Profit/ (loss) Assets
A (230/1,065)x100=22% (22/93) x 100=24% (1,500/7,205)x100=21%
B (195/1,065)x100=18% (15/93) x 100=(16%) (750/7,205)x100=10%
C (70/1,065)x100=7% (42/93) x 100=45% (425/7,205)x100=6%
D (430/1,065)x100=40% (16/93) x 100=17% (2,500/7,205)x100=35%
E (55/1,065)x100=5% (07/93) x 100=(8%) (630/7,205)x100=9%
F (85/1,065)x100=8% (13/93) x 100=14% (1,400/7,205)x100=19%

W-2 Identification of reportable segment 75% threshold


External revenue of reportable segment is (835 (120+130+70+430+85)/890) x 100 = 94% therefore no need to
identify additional reportable segment as the external revenue of reportable segments is greater than 75% of
entity’s external revenue.

558
As all the segment are reportable therefore 100% external revenue will be reported. There is no need ofchecking
75% rule.
Answer 3
Quantitative thresholds for reportable segments:
Total 10%
Revenue 317,500 31,750
Absolute loss * 37,000 3,700
Assets 88,400 8,840

*Higher of total profit i.e. 24,200 or total loss i.e. 37,000

Segment Reportable Explanation


A No Because it fails to meet any of the criteria specified in IFRS-8
B Yes Because it meets all of the criteria specified in IFRS-8
C Yes Because its profit of Rs. 19,000 is greater than Rs. 3,700
D Yes Because its loss of Rs. 23,200 is greater than Rs. 3,700
E No Because it fails to meet any of the criteria specified in IFRS-8
F Yes Because its assets of Rs. 18,000 are greater than Rs. 8,840

Check that 75% test is satisfied: (184,000+22,000+24,000+25000) ÷278,000=91%

Entity wide Disclosures:


The following applies to all listed entities or which are in the process of listing including those entities that have a
single reportable segment.

[Para 32]
1. Information of revenue from external customers for each Product and Service:
An entity shall report the revenues from external customers for each product and services unless the necessary
information is not available and the cost to develop it would be excessive, in which case that fact shall be
disclosed.
[Para 33]

2. Information about Geographical Areas:


An entity shall report the following geographical information unless the necessary information is notavailable
and the cost to develop it would be excessive:
a) Revenue from external customers:
(i) Attributed to the entity’s country of domicile; and
(ii) Attributed to all foreign countries in total from which the entity derives revenue.

If revenues from external customers attributed to an individual foreign country are material, those revenuesshall be
disclosed separately.

b) Non-Current Assets:
(i) Located in the entity’s country of domicile; and
(ii) Located in all foreign countries in total in which the entity holds assets.

If assets in an individual foreign country are material, those assets shall be disclose separately.
Example of (a) and (b) above Information about geographical areas
Country of domicile Foreign countries Total
Revenue – external customers X X X
Non – current assets X X X

[Para 34]
Information about Major Customer:
An entity shall provide information about the extent of its reliance on its major customers (IPPs and Wapda; PSO
and Railways). If revenues from transactions with a single external customer amount to 10% or moreof an entity’s
revenues, the entity shall
(i) Disclose that fact;
(ii) The total amount of revenues from each such customer; and
(iii) The identity of the segment or segments reporting those revenues.

The entity need not disclose the identity of a major customer


C) Four Reconciliation are required:
1. Reconciliation of totals of segment revenues to the corresponding combined entity’s revenue.
2. Reconciliation of the total of segment profit or loss to corresponding combined entity’s profit or loss

561
before tax.
3. Reconciliation of the total of segment assets to corresponding combined entity’s assets.
4. Reconciliation of the totals of segment liabilities to corresponding combined entity’s liabilities.

[Para 28]

[Para 16]
Information about other business activities and Operating segments that are not reportable shall becombined and
disclosed in an “all other segments” category.

Self-test question Gohar limited


[Para 5]
Start-up Operations: An operating segment may engage in business activities for which it has yet to earn
revenues. (It can even then be reportable segment based on Assets criteria or loss criteria). Therefore, startup
operations may be operating segments before earning revenues.

[Para 14] Aggregation of segments [Combining operating segments below the quantitativethreshold to
make a reportable segment]
An entity may combine information about operating segments that do not meet the quantitative threshold with
information about other operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds to produce a reportable
segment only if the operating segments have similar economic characteristics.

Similar characteristics means[Para 12]:


a) Nature of the products and services;
b) Nature of the production process;
c) Type or class of customers for their products and services,
d) The methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and
e) If applicable, the nature of the regulatory environment, for example, banking, insurance or public
utilities.

[Para 17]
If management judges that an operating segment identified as a reportable segment in the immediately
preceding period is of continued significance, information about the segment shall continue to be reported
separately in the current period even if it no longer meets the cretira of reportable segment (i.e Quantitative
thresholds).

[Para 18]
If an operating segment is identified as a reportable segment in the current period in accordance with the
quantitative thresholds, segment data for a prior period presented for comparative purposes shall be restated to
reflect the newly reportable segment as a separate segment, even if that segment did not satisfy the criteria in the
prior period unless the necessary information is not available and the cost todevelop it would be excessive.

[Para 19]
IFRS-8 does not set an upper limit as to the number of operating segments that should be separately reported.
However, the standard sets out that if the number of separately reported segments exceeds 10 then it is likely
that information may become too detailed and consequently lose its usefulness.

562
[Para 29]
If an entity changes the structure of its internal organization in a manner(e.g Internal decision making is
changed from products and services to geographical areas) that causes the composition of its reportable segments
to change, the corresponding information for earlier periods, shall be restated unless information is not available
and the cost to develop it is excessive.

Total assets % 32.6% 6.5% 8.7% 43.5% 8.7% 100%
Reportable Segment:
Division A and Division Dare reportable segments as they meet the requirements for an operatingsegment. B, C
and E do not meet any of the criteria.
None of them pass the 10% test for either revenue, profit or assets.
Additionally, IFRS 8 states that if total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than 75%
of the entity’s external revenue then additional operating segments must be identified as reporting segments, until
75% of revenue is included in reportable segments.
As these two segments cover 72.3% [(200+150)/484] external revenue so additional segments will need to be
identified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the criteria). For example, if we include Division B
then total reported revenue will be 81.61% [(200+150+45)/484 x 100].

Answer-2
(a) An operating segment is a component of an entity:
o That engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses (including
revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity):
o Whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to
make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess the performance; and
o For which discrete financial information is available.

As Jay limited has both profit and loss making segments, the result of those in profit and those in loss mustbe
totaled to see which is greater:
Combined Profit = 285 M
Combined loss = (85) M
So the 10% of profit or loss test must be applied by reference to 285 M.

Conclusion:
Segment
A Reportable Segment because all relevant criteria is met.
B Not a reportable segment because neither of the criteria is met.
C Reportable segment because all criteria is met.
D Reportable segment because it has more than 10% assets. All conditions need not bemet.
E Reportable segment because its losses are more than 10% of absolute profit. All condition need not be met.
75% Criteria is also met, i-e (705+300+90)/1,177 = 93%, therefore there is no need toidentify any other
operating segment as reportable.

IFRS 8 Q.B
Question 1
SHAZAD INDUSTRIES LIMITED
Shazad Industries Ltd has recently acquired four large subsidiaries. These subsidiaries manufacture products
which are of different lines from those of the parent company. The parent company manufactures plastics and
related products whereas the subsidiaries manufacture the following:
Product Location
Subsidiary 1 Textiles Karachi
Subsidiary 2 Car products Lahore
Subsidiary 3 Fashion garments Peshawar
Subsidiary 4 Furniture items Multan
The directors have purchased these subsidiaries in order to diversify their product base but do not have any
knowledge of the information required in the financial statements regarding these subsidiaries.
Required
(a) Explain to the directors the purpose of segmental reporting of financial information.
(b) Critically evaluate IFRS 8, Operating segments, setting out any problems with the standard.

Answer:
(a) The purposes of segmental information are:
 to provide users of financial statements with sufficient details for them to be able to appreciate the
different rates of profitability, different opportunities for growth and different degrees of risk that apply to an
entity’s classes of business and various geographical locations.
 to appreciate more thoroughly the results and financial position of the entity by permitting a better
understanding of the entity’s past performance and thus a better assessment of its futureprospects.
 to create awareness of the impact that changes in significant components of a business may have on the
business as a whole.
(b) IFRS 8 lays down some very broad and inclusive criteria for reporting segments. Unlike earlier attempts to
define segments in more quantitative terms, segments are defined largely in terms of the breakdown and analysis
used by management. This is, potentially, a very powerful method of ensuring that preparers provide useful
segmental information.
There will still be problems in deciding which segments to report, if only because management maystill
attempt to reduce the amount of commercially sensitive information that they produce.
The growing use of executive information systems and data management within businesses makes iteasier to
generate reports. It would be relatively easy to provide management with a very basic set of
internal reports and analyses and leave the individual managers to prepare their own more detailed information
using the interrogation software provided by the system.
If such analyses become routine then they would be reportable under IFRS 8, but that would be very difficult to
check and audit.
There are problems in the measurement of segmental performance if the segments trade with each other.
Disclosure of details of inter-segment pricing policy is often considered to be detrimental to the good of a
company. There is little guidance on the policy for transfer pricing.
Different internal reporting structures could lead to inconsistent and incompatible segmental reports, even from
companies in the same industry (some companies can disclose on the basis of products and others on the basis of
region).

Question 2
AZ
For enterprises that are engaged in different businesses with differing risks and opportunities, the usefulness of
financial information concerning these enterprises is greatly enhanced if it is supplemented by information on
individual business segments.
Required

569
(a) Explain why the information content of financial statements is improved by the inclusion of segmental
data on individual business segments.
(b) Discuss how IFRS 8 requires that segments be analysed.
Answer
(a) Usefulness of segmental data
Many entities carry out several classes of business and operate in a number of countries across the world. Each
of these businesses and geographical segments carries with it different opportunities for growth, different rates of
profit and varying degrees of risk. Some business segments may be strongly influenced by the health of the
economy whereas other segments may be unaffected by recession. One country may be experiencing growth;
another country may be less stable because of political events. Awareness of these cultural and environmental
differences is important to investors in order toallow them to fully understand the performance and position of the
entity over the past, its prospects for the future and the risks that it faces.
IFRS 8 requires that segmental information should be provided to enable investors to understand the impact that
the different segments of a business may have on the business as a whole. If the user of financial statements is
only provided with figures for the entity as a whole, this might hide the risks and problems or profits and
opportunities of the underlying business segments. The disaggregated financial information provided by segmental
reporting allows for analytical review on a segment by segment basis which will provide greater understanding
of the entity’s position and performance and allow a better assessment of its future.
(b) Analyzing segments
IFRS 8 defines an operating segment as a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it
may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating
decision maker in the entity and for which discrete financial information is available.
Not every part of a business is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment. Head office is an
example, since head office does not usually earn revenues. Generally an operating segment has a segment manager
who is directly accountable to and maintains regular contact with the chief operating decision-maker, to discuss the
performance of the segment.
IFRS 8 requires that entities should report information about each operating segment that is identified and that
exceeds certain quantitative thresholds for size of revenue, operating profit or loss or assets. Financial
information about operating segments with similar characteristics can be aggregated.
IFRS 8 sets out the information about each reportable operating segment that should be disclosed, including total
assets, profit or loss, revenue from external customers, revenue from sales to other segments, interest income and
expense, depreciation, material items of income or expense and tax. The amount reported for each item should be
the same measure that is reported for the segment to the chief operating decision maker of the entity.
IFRS8 applies to quoted companies only.

Question 3 (Autumn 2023)


Drigh Limited (DL), a listed company, has seven components. The following information is available about the
components:
Revenues
Components Profit/(loss) Total assets
External Inter-segment Total
--------------------------------- Rs. in million ---------------------------------
A 2,600 200 2,800 (300) 700
B - 600 600 (45) 135
C 1,600 - 1,600 (580) 150
D 1,550 113 1,663 475 613
E 575 - 575 58 162
F 500 75 575 60 300
G 125 - 125 13 150
6,950 988 7,938 (319) 2,210

570
Additional information:
(i) Operating results of all the above components are reviewed by DL’s CEO. He is of the view that all
components need to be presented separately in the DL’s financial statements as per IFRS 8.
(ii) Components A and G exhibit similar long-term financial performance because they have similar economic
characteristics while other components do not have similar economic characteristics.
(iii) Component F earns revenues that are only incidental to the activities of DL and supports components C and D.
Required:
Keeping in view the CEO’s point of view, discuss how the above components should bepresented in the note of
‘Operating Segments’ in accordance with IFRS 8.
(Preparation of note is not required) (08)
Answer
Quantitative thresholds for reportable segments:
Total 10%
----- Rs. in million -----
Revenue 7,938 793.8
Absolute profit *925 92.5
Assets 2,210 221
*Higher of total profit i.e. 606(475+58+60+13) or total loss i.e. 925(300+45+580)
Contrary to the CEO’s point of view, DL’s components should be presented in the note of ‘operating segments’
in the following manner:
 A & G may be presented as an aggregated segment because they have similar economic characteristics and,
when combined, meet all the quantitative thresholds.
 C will be presented as a separate segment because its loss of Rs. 580 million is greater than Rs. 92.5
million. Further, its revenue of Rs. 1,600 million is also greater than Rs. 793.8 million.
 D will be presented as a separate segment because it meets all the quantitative thresholds.
 Components B, E, and F will be presented as a combined category of ‘All other segments’ for the following
reasons:
– More than 75% i.e. 84.5% [(2600+1600+1550+125)/6950)] of the revenue is reported by operating
segments so additional reportable segments need not be identified.
– Segment B is an operating segment but fails to meet any quantitative threshold.
– Segment E is an operating segment but fails to meet any quantitative threshold.
– Segment F, despite having assets of Rs. 300 million which are greater thanRs. 221 million, fails to
meet the definition of operating segment. This is because its revenues are merely incidental to the
activities of the entity, and as a result, it does not meet the definition of an operating segment.

571
IFRS 8 OPERATING SEGMENTS
Existence of segment managers [para 8 to 10 & 12]
Generally, an operating segment has a segment manager who is directly accountable to and maintains regular contact with
the CODM to discuss operating activities, financial results, forecasts, or plans for the segment.
The term ‘segment manager’ identifies a function, not necessarily a manager with a specific title. The CODM also may be
the segment manager for some operating segments and a single manager may be the segment manager for more than one
operating segment.
If the characteristics (of definition of operating segment) apply to more than one set of components of an organisation but
there is only one set for which segment managers are held responsible, that set of components constitutes the operating
segments.

Matrix Structures
The characteristics (of definition of operating segment) may apply to two or more overlapping sets of components for which
managers are held responsible. That structure is sometimes referred to as a matrix form of organisation. For example, in
some entities, some managers are responsible for different product and service lines worldwide, whereas other managers are
responsible for specific geographical areas. It is likely that the CODM regularly reviews the operating results of both sets of
components, and financial information is available for both. In that situation, the entity shall determine which set of
components constitutes the operating segments by reference to the core principle i.e. to enable users of its financial
statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and the economic
environments in which it operates.

Comparative information [IFRS 8: 18]


Segment data for a prior period presented for comparative purposes shall be restated to reflect the newly reportable segment
as a separate segment, even if that segment did not satisfy the criteria for reportability in the prior period, unless the
necessary information is not available and the cost to develop it would be excessive.

All Other Segments [IFRS 8: 16]


Information about other business activities and operating segments that are not reportable shall be combined and disclosed
in an ‘all other segments’ category separately from other reconciling items in the reconciliations required by disclosure
under IFRS 8. The sources of the revenue included in the ‘all other segments’ category shall be described.

Answer 1
Therefore, all industry segments with profits or loss having an absolute amount equal to or greater than Rs. 206
(10% of Rs. 2,060) meet the profit or loss test. Accordingly, industry segment # 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 are reportable
segments.

Only pinning and Weaving Segments meet the reportable segment criteria. However total sale of the two
segments to external customers is:
Spinning external sales 1,969
Weaving external sales 208
Total spinning and weaving external sales 2,177
% of total external sale (2,177/2,964) 73.45% which means further segments need tobe
identified
e.g. Garment segment (highest among remaining External sale is 277
segments in terms of sales and assets)
Grand total(2,177+277/2,964 x100) 82.79%
So garments segment should also be included as reportable segments.
Point to remember:
Note that while applying 10% rule, both external and internal sales are combined but in applying 75% rule,only

IAS-41 [Agriculture]
Biological Asset: are living plant and animals.
Biological Asset Agricultural Produce Products that result from
processing after harvest
Sheep Wool Carpet
Dairy Cattle Milk Cheese
Cotton plant Harvested cotton Thread, Cloth
Tea bushes Picked leaves Tea
Fruit trees Picked fruit (Orange etc.) Processed fruit
Palm oil trees Picked fruit Palm Oil
Sugar cane Harvested cane Sugar
Point to member:
Sometimes trees are physically attached to particular piece of land, in that case only the tree is a biological
asset while land is not a biological asset. (land is to be measured under IAS 16)
Objective: The objective of this standard is to prescribe the accounting treatment and disclosures relatedto
agricultural activity.
[Para 5]
1. Agricultural Activity is the management of the biological transformation of a biological asset for
the purpose of sale of that asset; or
2. Agricultural activity is the management of biological transformation (reproduction) of a
biologicalasset for the purpose of creating additional biological asset; or
3. Agricultural activity is the management of biological transformation of a biological asset for the
purpose of harvesting agricultural produce from that asset.
Agricultural Produce:
It is the harvested produce from the biological assets, e.g milk, meat, eggs, fruits etc.
Harvest:
Harvest is the detachment of produce from a biological asset (milking a cow or picking the fruits from
trees)or the cessation of a biological assets useful life (meat of cows and sheep).
Biological Transformation: Results into the following types of outcomes:
a) Asset changes through
i) Growth (an increase in quantity or improvement in quality of an animal or plant e.g. lambs
growinto sheep);
ii) Degeneration (a decrease in the quantity or deterioration in quality of an animal or plant e.g.
death, cut down and old age); or
iii) Reproduction or procreation (creation of additional living animals or plants), or
b) Production of agricultural produce such as tea leaf, milk and wool etc.
Illustration: Definitions
A farmer has a herd of lambs (‘biological assets’).
As the lambs grow they go through biological transformation.
As sheep they are able to procreate or reproduce and lambs will be born (additional biological
assets) and the wool from the sheep provides a source of revenue for the farmer (‘agricultural
produce’).
Once the wool has been sheared from the sheep (‘harvested’).it is an agricultural produce (measure it
according to IAS 41 at the point of harvest and after that IAS 2 will be applied for any future
measurement)

578
Recognition and Measurement: [Para 10]
Recognition Criteria of biological asset or agricultural produce:
An entity shall recognize a biological asset or agricultural produce when, and only when:
a) The entity controls the asset as a result of past events; (e.g you have purchased cow and it is in your
control; suppose afterwards it has given birth to a baby calf and it is also in your control)
b) There is a probable future inflow of economic benefit (means you can either sell the cow or sell its
meat or sell its milk); and
c) The fair value or cost of asset can be measured reliably.
Measurement of biological Asset: [Para 12]
Biological asset is measured at fair value (means market price) less cost to sell initially and at the
end of each reporting date. Any gain or loss on initial recognition and from subsequent changes in
fair value less cost to sell to at the end of each reporting date are recorded in profit or loss for the period
in which it arises.
If an entity has thousands of cows /sheep or other biological assets, then in order to measure fair value
you do not need to check market price for individual biological asset rather entity can group
biological assets based on their significant attributable e.g age or quality and measure their fair value
in aggregate (group of biological assets is an aggregation of similar living animals or plant)
Sometimes cost of biological asset approximates fair value
(a) if little biological transformation has taken place since initial cost incurrence (e.g. for seedlings
planted immediately prior to the end of reporting period or new purchased livestock) [Para 24(a)].
(b) The impact of biological transformation on price is not expected to be material e.g. the initial
growthin 30year pine plantation life cycle.
Cost to sell: are incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of asset, excluding finance cost and
income taxes. Examples include commission to brokers, non-refundable transfer taxes and duties and
transportation costs.
Grouping of Assets
Some biological assets are physically attached to land, for example tree plantations, and it is necessary to
value the land and biological assets together as one asset, even though agricultural land is not within the
scope of IAS 41. To obtain the fair value of the biological assets, the fair value of the land element should be
deducted from the combined fair value.
Example
A farmer wishing to value an apple orchard, in circumstances where there is no separate valuation for the
orchard from that for the land on which it is grown, would value it at the combined fair value of the land
andorchard, less the estimated fair value of land.
If fair value is not initially reliably measureable then biological asset is measured at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment (cost model of IAS-16). However, depreciation can only be
started after the asset is matured.
Point to remember:
These above biological assets are not revalued under IAS-16. If fair value subsequently is reliably
measurable then entity must measure these biological assets from that point at fair value less cost to sell as
per IAS-41.
According to IAS-41, there is a presumption that fair value can be measured reliablly for a biological asset.
However, that presumption can be rebutted only on initial recognition for a biological asset for which
quotedmarket price are not available.
1. Example:
An entity purchased a cow for Rs. 120,000. In addition, there is a carriage cost of Rs. 2,000. The entity
estimates that if it sells the cow then the auctioneers charge a sale commission of 2% of market value and
there is a government levy based on market value of 3% on sales.

579
How the cow is measured initially?
Fair value less cost to sell = [120,000 –(120,000 x 2%) –(120,000 x 3%)] = 114,000
Accounting entry is:
Biological Asset(Cow) 114,000
Loss on initial recognition 6,000
Cash 120,000
Carriage expense 2,000
Cash 2,000
We have paid a cost of 120,000 against an asset having FV less CTS of 114,000 therefore there is a lossof
6,000 on initial recognition.
Rs. 2,000 carriage inwards is not capitalized it is recognized as an expense immediately (included within
loss).
2. Example:
The entity’s cow has given birth to a baby calf today.
Estimated fair value of the baby calf is 10,000. In order to sell the calf entity will have to pay 200 in
transfertax and sale commission of Rs. 1,500.
How the new born calf is initially measured?
Answer:
Fair value less cost to sell: [10,000 – 200 – 1,500] = 8,300
Accounting entry is:
Biological Asset 8,300
Gain on initial measurement 8,300
(As we have not paid anything)
Measurement of Agricultural Produce: [Para 13]
At the point of harvest (means detachment from biological asset) agricultural produce is measured at Fair
value less costs to sell.
In all cases, an entity measures agricultural produce at the point of harvest at its fair value less cost to sell.
The standard is of the view that fair value can always be measured. [Para 32]
Any gain or loss on initial recognition is presented in profit or loss for the period in which it arises. [Para 28]
After initial measurement, agricultural produce is transferred to inventory (and therefore IAS-2 is applied
from there on). It means FV less costs to sell will be deemed as cost when transferred to inventory. [Para
13]
At the end of reporting period, this agricultural produce should be measured by applying IAS-2 (i.e. lower
of cost and NRV) rather than IAS-41 (i.e at FV less cost to sell).
Example: Accounting treatment
Using the earlier example of a sheep farmer, lambs should initially be measured when they are born at
their fair value less costs to sell.
As they grow and their value changes, this gain or loss should be reflected in the biological asset value
and also in profit and loss.
The sheep may be used for obtaining wool. Once the wool has been sheared from the sheep, as an
agricultural produce the wool should be valued at fair value less costs to sell.
If the wool still in inventory at the end of the reporting period, then apply IAS 2 for measurement.
Bearer Plants: [para 5 to
5C]A living plant that:
i) Is used in production or supply of agricultural produce;
ii) Is expected to bear produce for more than one year; and
iii) is unlikely (means no intention) that entity will (e.g. cut down the plant and) sell it as agricultural
produce, except for scrap sale (at the end of its useful life when they are no longer used to bear
produce).

580
Some Plants such as tea bushes, grape yards, oil palms and rubber trees, usually meet the definition of a
bearer plant and are within the scope of IAS 16 Property, Plant and equipment. However, the produce
growing on bearer plants, for example, tea leaves, grapes, oil palm fruit and latex, is within the scope of
IAS 41.

“Produce growing on bearer plants is an Agricultural produce e.g Mangoes on a Mango tree. It means
mangoes (which is agricultural produce) must be measured separately from the mango tree (which is bearer
plant). [Para 5C]
Note that there is no “animal” equivalent of a bearer plant (means there is no concept of bearer
animal). Thus, cows kept for milk are within the scope of IAS 41.
The followings are not bearer plants: [Para 5A]
a) Plants cultivated to be harvested as agricultural produce (e.g trees grown for use as lumber (wood).
b) Plants cultivated for agricultural produce but there is a likelihood that the entity will also harvest
e.g cut and sell the plant as agricultural produce, other than scrap sale (at the end of useful life)
[e.g trees that are cultivated for both the fruit and their lumber(wood)].
c) Annual crops (e.g maize, wheat, rice, potatoes etc).
Measuring bearer plant:
Bearer plants are very similar to machinery in a manufacturing business and are therefore measured by
using requirements of IAS-16 just like properly, plant and equipment (PPE).
A bearer plant is initially measured at cost.
The cost based measurement is continued till plant grows to maturity. (Means it is considered to be matured
if it is capable of sustaining regular harvest means e.g tree is capable of producing fruit every season
onwards)
As per IAS-16 Para 22A, Bearer plants are accounted for in the same way as self-constructed items of
property, plant and equipment before they are in the location and condition necessary to be capable of
operating in a manner intended by management.
Consequently, references to “Construction” in this standard should be read as bearer plants before they are
in the location and condition necessary to be capable of operating in a manner intended by management
(therefore depreciation should start when they are available for use)
Subsequently it is measured by using:
a) Cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment; or
b) Revaluation model.
Government grants related to biological asset [IAS 41: 34 to 38]
Unconditional grant
It shall be recognised in profit or loss when, and only when, the government grant
becomes receivable.
Biological assetsConditional grant
measured at fair value
Such grant shall be recognised in profit or loss when, and only when, the conditions
less cost to sell
attaching to the government grant are met.
Partial recognition for conditional grants
(IAS 41 is applicable) Terms and conditions of government grants vary. For example, a grant may require an entity
to farm in a particular location for five years and require the entity to return all of the grant
if it farms for a period shorter than five years. In this case, the grant is not recognised in
profit or loss until the five years have passed. However, if the terms of the grant allow part
of it to be retained according to the time that has elapsed, the entity recognises that part in
profit or loss as time passes.
Biological assets
measured at cost or
bearer plants The grant shall be recognised in accordance with IAS 20.

581
► Example: Multan Limited (ML) operates a large cow and buffalo dairy farm. On 1 January 2022, ML
received a government grant of Rs. 15 million on the condition that ML adopts organic cattle feed system
and continues to do so for five years. If ML discontinues organic cattle feed system any time during five
years, it will have to repay the whole amount of grant.
ML has already implemented organic feed system and it is reasonably certain that ML will meet the
conditions of grant. ML year end is 31 December.
Required: Briefly discuss the recognition of government grant in the financial statements of ML.
Answer: ML shall recognise the grant of Rs. 15 million in profit or loss on 31st December 2026 only
when the conditions attaching to the government grant are met.
► Example: Peshawar Limited (PL) operates a large cow and buffalo dairy farm. On 1 Jan 2022, PL
received a government grant of Rs. 15 million on the condition that PL adopts organic cattle feed system
and continues to do so for next five years. If PL discontinues organic cattle feed system any time during
five years, it will have to repay the proportionate amount of grant.
PL has already implemented organic feed system and it is reasonably certain that PL will meet the
conditions of grant. PL year end is 31 December.
Required: Briefly discuss the recognition of government grant in the financial statements of PL.
Answer: PL shall recognise the grant of Rs. 3 million (i.e. Rs. 15 million / 5 years) in profit or loss each
year on 31st December from 2022 to 2027 as the time passes provided that PL is complying the conditions
of the government grant.

Scope Paragraph:
IAS 41 Agriculture covers the following agricultural activities: [Para 1]
Biological assets, except for bearer plants;
Agricultural produce at the point of harvest; and
Government grants for agriculture (in certain situations).
IAS 41 does not apply to: [Para 2]
The harvested agricultural product (IAS 2 Inventory applies);
Land relating to the agricultural activity (IAS 16 or IAS 40 applies);
Bearer plants related to agricultural activity (however, IAS 41 does apply to the produce on those bearer
plants) (IAS 16)
Intangible assets related to agricultural activity (IAS 38 Intangible assets applies).
Important disclosure:
Changes to fair value can arise due to both physical changes in asset and price changes in market. Entities
are encouraged to make separate disclosure of these two elements in order to facilitate performance
evaluation.
Question 1
Zahid started running a farm that is involved in Dairy farming whereby it buys dairy (milk) producing
cows. The objective is not to slaughter them and sell the meat rather production and sale of milk. At the
start of the financial year, Zahid purchased 1,000 dairy cows, with an average age of 2 years old, for
150,000,000which is equal to FV less cost to sell at that date.
Zahid has the following data of fair values.
FV less CTS
Start of the period End of the period
Two years old Cows 150,000,000 155,000,000
Three year old Cows 159,000,000 165,000,000
Required:
Explain the accounting treatment of the above in the financial statements.
Answer 1
At the beginning of the period:
We measure cows at 150,000,000 (At FV less CTS) which was equal to the purchase cost.

At the end of the period:


The cows are now not two years old instead three years old.
Therefore, fair value less CTS will be: 165,000,000

Double entry will be


Biological Assets 15,000,000
Gain on remeasurement(PL) 15,000,000
(165,000,000 – 150,000,000)

Gain due to physical change Gain due to price change


(165,000,000 – 155,000,000) (155,000,000 – 150,000,000)
10,000,000 5,000,000
Calculation of price change: requires comparison of same asset’s prices (without physical change) which
were at initial date and reporting date.
Calculation of physical change: requires comparison of prices of asset after physical change on reporting
date.
Question 2
The following example illustrates how to separate physical change and price change. Separating the

583
change in fair value less costs to sell between the portion attributable to physical changes and the portion
attributable to price change is encouraged by this Standard.
A herd of 10, 2-year-old animals was held at 1 January 2011. One animal aged 2.5 years was purchased
on 1 July 2011 for 108,000, and one animal was born on 1 July 2011. No animal was sold or disposed of
during the period
Per-unit fair values less costs to sell were as follows: Rs.000
2 year old animal at 1 January 2011 100
New born animal at 1 July 2011 70
2.5 year old animal at 1 July 2011 108
New born animal at 31 December 2011 72
0.5 year old animal at 31 December 2011 80
2 year old animal at 31 December 2011 105
2.5 year old animal at 31 December 2011 111
3 year old animal at 31 December 2011 120
Answer 2
Fair value less costs to sell of herd at 1 January2011 (10 x 100) 1,000
Fair value less costs to sell of herd at 31 December2011 1,200

584
IAS 41 other related issues:
Question #1: Is it agriculture?
The first and primary question when dealing with living plants and animals is – what is agricultural
activity?
It is the management of the biological transformation (e.g. growth) of biological assets for (IAS 41.5):
Sale, or
into agricultural produce, or
into additional biological assets.
You have to make your best effort to answer that question correctly, because the accounting and reporting
depends on it.
Why?
Imagine you have a dog.
Logically, it is a living animal, and therefore it is a biological asset. You might think: “well, biological
assetsare governed by IAS 41, so I need to measure the dog at fair value at the end of each year”.
Not so fast.
Why do you have that dog?
Is it a guard dog, protecting your property and barking at everyone passing by?
If yes, then you should NOT apply IAS 41, but IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment and measure the dog
at cost less accumulated depreciation.
The reason is that protecting the property is NOT an agricultural activity and IAS 41 does NOT apply.
Or, do you have that dog in order to produce and raise puppies and sell the puppies?
In this case, IAS 41 applies, because breeding and selling puppies is an agricultural activity.
So, if you think that OK, I’m not a farmer, so I don’t need to bother with IAS 41, you might be
surprisedwhere the agriculture can hide.
Just a few examples:
Pharmaceutical companies
Some pharma companies grow their own plants in order to produce drugs. Yes, this is an agricultural
activity and IAS 41 applies.
Dairy producers
If a company grows its own bacteria and cultures and then adds them to its yoghurts, well – this is an
agricultural activity and IAS 41 applies.
Jewelry producers
Some big jewelry producers produce their own pearls by planting foreign objects (such as pieces of
shells or parasites) into the soft bodies of living oysters. Then, the oyster produces a pearl by secreting
crystalline substance around the object to protect itself. Yes, this is an agricultural activity and IAS 41
applies.
On the other hand, not everything involving living plants or animals is agricultural activity.
Again, few examples:
ZOO
The main purpose of the ZOO (and safari, recreational park etc.) is to make money from showing the
animals off to the public – this is NOT an agricultural activity and IAS 41 does NOT apply (IAS 16
does). Yes, animals living in the ZOO sometimes pair and produce a baby – but if it’s a natural
process, not managed by the ZOO, it is NOT an agricultural activity.
The situation would be different when the ZOO would implement an active program of reproduction
and managed that program. In this case, breeding animals would NOT be an incident and ZOO would
haveto apply IAS 41.
Fishing
All fishermen catching fish in the ocean can breathe with relief. If you are NOT actively farming fish,
butyou’re merely harvesting the fish from the ocean, it’s NOT an agricultural activity.
The reason is that fish grew naturally in the ocean, which was NOT an agricultural activity.
“Working animals”
When you hold an animal primarily to do some work, such as cart-horses, guard dogs, elephant taxis,
etc., then you do NOT apply IAS 41, because all these activities do NOT represent biological
transformation.
Instead, IAS 16 is the right way to go.

585
Question #2: Is it a biological asset?
Very common misconception in the agriculture accounting is the belief that everything coming out
ofagriculture is a biological asset.
Not true.
Biological assets are only living plants and animals.
The harvested products of biological assets are agricultural produce.
Apples, palm oil, pearls, milk, coffee beans, tea leaves – all this is agricultural produce.
Why do we bother?
Well, once you detach the agricultural produce from a biological asset, in other words – once you harvest
the produce, it becomes your inventories and you apply IAS 2 Inventories.
At the moment of harvest, you should measure your new inventories at their fair value less costs to sell and
subsequently, you measure them under IAS 2 at lower of cost and net realizable value.
You do NOT remeasure agricultural produce to fair value less cost to sell.
Question #3: Are biological assets always measured at fair value less costs to sell?
No, they are not.

It is true that the general rule in IAS 41 Agriculture is to measure all biological assets at fair value less
costs to sell.

However, there are few exceptions:

1. The biological asset is NOT a part of agricultural activity.


I’ve explained it above – guard dogs, fish caught in the ocean, etc.

2. The biological asset is a bearer plant.


A bearer plant is a living plant used in production or supply of agricultural produce that is expected to
produce for more than 1 period.

The examples are fruit trees, tea bushes etc.


you can keep these assets at cost less accumulated depreciation under IAS 16.
Careful – this is only about plants, not animals. So, if you own cows and use them to breed new
cows, then sorry, it’s NOT a bearer plant and therefore IAS 41 will apply.

3. The fair value is not reliably measurable


When the fair value cannot be measurable, you can measure the asset at its cost less accumulated depreciation
and impairment. (IAS 16)

This exemption is available ONLY at initial recognition, never later.

Answers:
MISHALL LIMITED
Biological assets should be measured at each reporting date at fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs unless
fair value cannot be measured reliably. The Standard encourages companies to separate the change in fair value
less estimated point-of-sale costs between those changes due to physical reasons and those due to price.

AGRICULTURE
► Example:
Discuss whether IAS 41 shall be applied in each of the following circumstances:
(i) A zoo has bought two lions and one tiger for exhibition in zoo cages for earning ticket revenue.
(ii) Peacock kept by a restaurant in their open dining area to attract more customers.
(iii) Mules kept for transportation of luggage of tourists by a company which provides camping and
hiking services to foreign tourists.
(iv) A small business using horses in horse-wagons for tourists to travel around historical places.
(v) Parrots kept for breeding by a bird shop so that their offspring can be sold.
(vi) Horses kept in stable for breeding and to be trained and sold later.
► ANSWER:
Although all circumstances indicate the existence of biological assets i.e. living animals, the item
(i) to (iv) do not fall under the scope of IAS 41 as those biological assets are not for agricultural activity.
IAS 41 shall be applied on item (v) and (vi) since these biological assets relate to agricultural activity (i.e.
for sale or for having additional biological assets by breeding).
Agricultural activity covers a diverse range of activities; for example, raising livestock, forestry, annual or
perennial cropping, cultivating orchards and plantations, floriculture and aquaculture (including fish
farming).
Certain common features exist within this diversity
a) Capability to change. Living animals & plants are capable of biological transformation;
b) Management of change. Management facilitates biological transformation by enhancing, or at
least stabilizing, conditions necessary for the process to take place (for example, nutrient levels, moisture,
temperature, fertility, and light). Such management distinguishes agricultural activity from other
activities. For example, harvesting from unmanaged sources (such as ocean fishing and deforestation) is
not agricultural activity; and
c) Measurement of change. The change in quality (for example, genetic merit, density, ripeness, fat
cover, protein content, and fibre strength) or quantity (for example, progeny, weight, cubic metres, fibre
length or diameter, and number of buds) brought about by biological transformation or harvest is
measured and monitored as a routine management function.
Note that there is no animal-equivalent of bearer plant. Thus, cows kept for milk only are within the scopeof
IAS 41.

► Example:
XYZ Limited owns a large area of farmland nearby a wild forest. Employees of XYZ Limited have
noticed that a herd (or a parade) of wild elephants is living permanently on the farmland of XYZ Limited.
If sold in international market, the whole herd can fetch a fair value less costs to sell of Rs. 58 million.
Required: How should XYZ Limited recognise the herd of elephants in its financial statements?
► ANSWER:
It is unlikely that XYZ Limited controls these wild animals and/or able to sell them and obtain the future
economic benefits. Therefore, XYZ Limited should not recognise the herd of elephants in its financial
statements.

Measurement [IAS 41: 12 to 25]

Biological asset
A biological asset shall be measured on initial recognition and at the end of each reporting period at its
fair value less costs to sell, except where the fair value cannot be measured reliably.
► Example:
Adeel Limited (AL) operates a goat breeding farm. AL sells goats to local meat businesses and goats-milk
to cosmetics companies. They also use goat milk for making premium cheese for sale. On 1 March 2022,

589
AL bought 10 goats for Rs. 25,000 each (i.e. fair value) from a nearby market. The market broker charges
2% commission from buyer and 3% from seller on each transaction.
On 15 June 2022, two kids were born having fair value of Rs. 7,000 each.
On 30 June 2022, the year-end of AL, each goat has a fair value of Rs. 33,000 and each kid has a fair value
of Rs. 9,000.
Required: Calculate the cost of purchase and the amount at which the above biological assets should be
measured at initial recognition and on 30th June 20Y2.
► ANSWER:
The cost of 10 goats purchased:
[10 goat’s x Rs. 25,000 x 102%] = Rs. 255,000
Measurement at initial recognition (at fair value less costs to sell): [10 goats x Rs. 25,000 x 97%]= Rs. 242,500

[2 goats’ kids x Rs. 7,000 x 97%] = Rs. 13,580 Measurement at year-end (at fair value less costs to sell):

[10 goats x Rs. 33,000 x 97%] = Rs. 320,100


[2 goat kids x Rs. 9,000 x 97%] = Rs. 17,460

Agricultural produce
Agricultural produce harvested from an entity’s biological assets shall be measured at its fair value less
costs to sell at the point of harvest. Such measurement is the cost at that date when applying IAS 2
Inventories or another applicable Standard.
► Example:
Kashif Limited (KL) operates a goat breeding farm. KL sells goats to local meat businesses and goats-
milk to cosmetics companies. They also use goat milk for making premium cheese for sale.
During the year ended 30 June 20Y2, KL could get 980 litre of milk which had fair value less costs to sell
of Rs. 170 per litre on the day goats were milked.
The 900 litre of milk was sold to cosmetics companies for Rs. 160,000 and remaining 80 litre was converted
into making cheese which was later sold for Rs. 24,000. KL had to incur a cost of Rs. 5,000 to convert the
milk into cheese.
Required: Briefly discuss the accounting treatment of (milk) obtained from goats. IAS 41 →IAS 2
► ANSWER:
The harvested milk shall be recognised at Rs. 166,600 (980 litres x Rs. 170 per litre) at the point of harvest.
This amount will be deemed cost of inventory of milk subsequently. The excess of sale price over this cost
of inventory shall result in profit in the statement of comprehensive income of KL.

Biological assets attached to land


Biological assets are often physically attached to land (for example, trees in a plantation forest).
There may be no separate market for biological assets that are attached to the land, but an active market
may exist for the combined assets, that is, the biological assets, raw land, and land improvements, as a
package. An entity may use information regarding the combined assets to measure the fair value of the
biological assets. The fair value of raw land and land improvements may be deducted from the fair value
of the combined assets to arrive at the fair value of biological assets.
► Example:
ABC Limited has a fruit orchard over fifteen acres’ area of land. The separate value of orchard from the
land could not be determined, however, combined value of land and orchard has been determined to be Rs.
336 million. The similar agricultural land (but without any crop or orchard) in the area is valued at Rs. 10
million per acre.
Required: Advise ABC Limited as to how they may value their fruit orchard.
► ANSWER:
Use the combined fair value of the land and orchard, less the estimated fair value of land. So the orchard’s
fair value might be determined at Rs. 186 million (i.e. Rs. 336 million – Rs. 10 million x 15 acres).

590
Grouping of assets
The fair value measurement may be facilitated by grouping biological assets or agricultural produce
according to significant attributes; for example, by age or quality as used in the market as a basis for
pricing.
Future contract prices
Future contract prices are not necessarily relevant in measuring fair value because fair value reflects the
current market conditions in which market participant buyers and sellers would enter into a transaction.
The fair value is not adjusted because of existence of such contract. IAS 37 is applied if such contract is
onerous.
Gains and losses [IAS 41: 26 to 29]
Biological assets:
A gain or loss arising on initial recognition of a biological asset at fair value less costs to sell and from a change in
fair value less costs to sell of a biological asset shall be included in profit or loss for the period in which it arises.
A loss may arise on initial recognition of a biological asset, because costs to sell are deducted in
determining fair value less costs to sell of a biological asset. A gain may arise on initial recognition of a
biological asset, such as when a calf is born.
► Example:
Adeel Limited (AL) operates a goat breeding farm. AL sells goats to local meat businesses and goats-milk
to cosmetics companies. They also use goat milk for making premium cheese for sale. On 1 March 2022,
AL bought 10 goats for Rs. 25,000 each (i.e. fair value) from a nearby market. The market broker charges
2% commission from buyer and 3% from seller on each transaction.
On 15 June 2022, two goat kids were born having fair value of Rs. 7,000 each.
On 30 June 2022, the year-end of AL, each mature goat has now fair value of Rs. 33,000 and each goat kid
has fair value of Rs. 9,000.

DISCLOSURE
An entity discloses the basis for making any such distinctions.
Group Type Explanation
Consumable biological assets Consumable biological assets are those that are to be harvested as agricultural
produce or sold as biological assets. Examples include livestock intended for the
production of meat, livestock held for sale, fish in farms, crops such as maize
and wheat, produce on a bearer plant and trees beinggrown for lumber.
Bearer biological assets Bearer biological assets are those other than consumable biological assets; for
example, livestock from which milk is produced and fruit trees from which
fruit is harvested.
Mature biological assets Mature biological assets are those that have attained harvestable specifications
(for consumable biological assets) or are able to sustain regular harvests (for
bearer biological assets).
► Example: [on page 212]
Nawabpur Farming Limited (NFL) owned a dairy herd. On 1st January 2022, the herd had 100 animals that were two
years old and 50 newly born calves. On 31 December 2022 (year-end), a further 30 calves were born. None of the
herd died during the period. NFL incurred total farm maintenance cost of Rs. 1.2 million.

► Example: [on page 212]
The Dairy Company (TDC) owns three farms and has a stock of 3,200 cows. During the year ended 30 June 2015, 300
animals were born, all of which survived and were still owned by TDC at year-end.
Of those, 225 are infants whereas 75 are nine-month old having market values of Rs. 26,000 and Rs. 53,000 per animal
respectively. The incidental costs are 2% of the transaction price.
Required:
Discuss how the gain in respect of the new born cows should be recognized in TDC’s financial statements for the
year ended 30 June 2015. (Show all necessary computations)
Answer:
The new born cows are biological assets and should be measured at fair value less costs to sell both on initial
recognition and at each reporting date.
The gains on initial recognition and the gains from change in this value should be recognized in profit or loss for the
period in which it arises. The total gains in respect of new born cows to be recognized in the year ended 30 June
2015 is as follows:
New born [26,000 × 225 × 98 %] 5,733,000
9 month old [53,000 × 75 × 98 % ] 3,895,500

Lease Part 2
Exception to the Previous discussion of lease [Para 6]:
A lessee may elect (it is an option not a compulsion) not to apply the above requirements to a lease contract if:
(a) A lease is a short term lease*; or
*Short term lease; means a lease that at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less
(including extension period if any). A lease that contains a purchase option is not a short term lease. (even if
it is for 12 months or less).
(b) A lease of low value assets*.
Low value asset lease does not only means price is low but also includes that asset is not significant for
business operation (means main business activities are not dependent on it)
An asset can be of low value if:
(a) The lessee can obtain benefit from use of asset with own resources available to the lessee (means can
be purchased by lessee itself); and
(b) The underlying asset is not highly dependent on, or highly interrelated with, other asset.
Examples of low-value assets can include tablets, personal computers, small items of office furniture, and
telephones.
IFRS -16 however specifically prescribes that lease of vehicles is not a lease low value asset.
The lessee shall assess the value of the asset based on the value of the asset when it is new, regardless of the age of
asset being leased.
Accounting Treatment [Para 6]:
No recording of right of use asset and lease liability.
No segregation of rental into principal and interest by preparing the finance charge allocation table.
If there is a short term lease or lease for which the asset is of low value, the lessee shall recognise the lease
payments as an expense on a straight line basis in statement of profit or loss; unless there is any other method
available in question.
Example:
A lease is entered into on January 1, 2001 for a period of 12 months. There is no purchase option.Therefore, it
is a short term lease. Payments are structured as follows:
o The first 6 instalments will be Rs 2,000 per month and the next 6 instalments will be Rs 3,000 permonth.
o Fair value of asset is Rs 500,000.
o Lease payments are made at the end of each month.

Required:
a) Prepare journal entries in the books of lessee for the year ended 30-06-2001 and 30-06-2002
Solution
a) Journal entries: (In the books of Lessee)
30-06-2001 Rental Expense (2,500 x 6) 15,000

Entity A leases office equipment for 5 years. The total value of the equipment when new is Rs. 5,000 (determined
by Entity A to be low value). Entity A elects to apply the low-value asset exemption.
Lease payments are payable as follows:
Year 1 Rs. Nil (rent-free period)
Year 2 and 3 Rs. 1,750 per year at the end of year
Year 4 and 5 Rs. 1,500 per year at the end of year
Required:
1. Calculate rent expense per year
2. prepare the journal entries for first three years of lease

In the case of a short term lease, the choice of applying the simplified approach must be made by class of asset.
(means for all vehicles or machinery etc)
In the case of a low value asset lease, the choice of applying the simplified approach must be made on lease by lease
basis rather than by class of asset.
Disclosure:
(1) A lessee that accounts for short term leases or leases of low value assets applying the above accounting
treatment shall disclose this fact in notes to financial statements [Para 60].
(2) A lessee shall disclose the amount of its lease commitments for short term leases (and for lease of low value
asset). (A disclosure in notes related to maturity analysis of future lease payments)
(3) In statement of cash flow; short term lease payments and payment for leases of low-value assets should be
classified within operating activities.
Treatment of lease in the books of Lessor:
A lessor shall classify each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. [Para 61]
Finance Lease:

596
A lease that transfers substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset. [Para 62].
Operating Lease:
A lease that does not transfers substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset [Para 62].
[means a lease which is not a finance lease].
Examples of situations that individually or in combination lead to a lease being classified as a finance lease are
[Para 63]:
(a) The lease transfers ownership of the asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term.
(b) The lessee has an option to purchase the asset at a price that is expected to be sufficiently lower than the fair
value of the asset at the end of lease term and it is reasonably certain at the inception of lease that lessee will
exercise the option to purchase the asset.
(c) The lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the asset (major part means lease term covers at least
75% or more of economic life).
Economic Life; means total period over which asset is expected to be used (means total life of asset)
Useful life; Period over which asset is expected to be used by the entity to obtain benefits (means
lessee in case of lease)
The above lives can be same or different depending upon the circumstances. Assuming no other condition is met we
are only checking (c) condition.

Lease Lease Term Economic Life Classification


A 4 10 O
B 3 5 O
C 8 10 F
D 5 5 F
(d) At the inception of lease, present value of lease payments is substantially equal to fair value of asset
(substantially equal means at least PV of lease payments is 90% or more of fair value of asset).
(e) The asset is of such a specialized nature that only lessee can use it without major modification.
There are three more indicators of finance lease as given in para 64 of IFRS 16.[at the end ofChapter]
Residual Value:
The value of an asset at the end of the lease term.
There is a concept of residual value if ownership of asset is not expected to be transferred to lessee atthe
end of lease term.
Residual value can be of two types:
Guaranteed Residual Value (GRV): A residual value (may or may not be equal to full residual value) guaranteed
to a lessor by a party (may be lessee or an independent third party unrelated to lessor) that asset will be at least a
specific amount at the end of the lease term.
Unguaranteed Residual Value (URV): A portion of residual value of asset, the realization of which bylessor is not
assured (means not guaranteed) or guaranteed by a party related to lessor.
e.g
a) RV= Rs 10,000 (nothing is assured) it became URV
b) RV= Rs 10,000
Rs 8,000 is guaranteed by lessee

597
Remaining Rs 2,000 is URV
Finance Lease (in the books of lessor)
Calculation of lease payment:
(A) Calculation of lease payment to be received by lessor (if ownership is expected to betransferred to
lessee at the end of lease term)
a) Ownership will be transferred without any additional amount at the end of lease term. Lease payments (LP) =
Down payment + Rentals + zero.
b) Ownership will be transferred by paying an additional lump sum amount at the end of lease term: (means a
purchase option which is reasonable certain at the inception).
Lease payments (LP) = Down payment + Rentals + Amount to obtain ownership In these cases lessee will also
calculate its lease payments as mentioned above.
(B) Calculation of lease payments to be received by lessor: (if ownership is not expected to betransferred to
lessee at the end of lease term).
a) If lessee or a party related to lessee [Para 70 (c)] has provided a guarantee of residualvalue to lessor:
Lease payments (LP) = Down payment + Rentals + GRV
b) If an independent third party has provided a guarantee of residual value to lessor: Lease payments (LP) =
Down payment + Rentals + GRV
Point to remember: URV is not included in calculation of lease payments by lessor. It is included in
calculation of Gross Investment by lessor.
Terminologies Used by lessor:
Gross Investment = Lease payments + URV
Net Investment = PV of lease payments + PV of URV
Unearned Finance Income = Gross Investment – Net Investment

Simple Lessor Finance Lease
Initial direct Costs paid by the Lessor are included in the initial measurement of the finance lease
receivable and reduce the amount of income recognized over the lease term.
The result will be that net Investment In lease will Include amount of initial direct cost (Instead of having
recognized the expense in the current period, It will result in reduced Income over the lease term). [as in
the debt instruments of IFRS 9]
The above discussion can be understood by the following question.

Calculation of interest rate implicit in lease:


As per IFRS 16 calculation of rate is responsibility of Lessor. Rate is calculated by solving the following
equation.
FV+ Initial Direct Cost of Lessor = PV of LP + PV of URV

53,000 ≠ 50,244
It means rate is not 8%.

Increase in rate will result into decrease in PV and vice versa. Therefore we should not use rate above
8% because we need higher present value.
Let assume rate =7%

=10,000+41,626+1,778
53,000 ≠ 53,404

Let assume rate =4.5%


1 − (1.045)−3
= 10,000 + 15,000 [ ] + 2,000(1.045)−3

It is therefore approximately equal to 4.5%

Note: in case of simple lessor finance lease, IDC is already included in net investment therefore simply ignore in
workings. (unless any missing figure to be calculated from equation)

Dealer/Manufacturer lessor Finance Lease


IDC should be recognized as an expense when incurred in the period of delivery of asset. Therefore in case of
dealer/manufacturer lessor equation to calculate implicit rate of return is
FV = PV of LP + PV of URV
Point to remember: URV means an amount which is not assured or guaranteed by party related tolessor
Calculation of Lease Rental
Fair value = 1,200,000
Lease term = 5years
URV=100,000

Summary of rates:
• Calculation of the interest rate implicit in lease is the responsibility of the lessor. Lessor will
alwaysuse this rate in his calculations.
• If this rate is known to lessee then he will also use that rate.
• If implicit rate is not known to lessee then he can use its incremental borrowing rate (means assume
as if lessee has borrowed the funds instead of taken the asset on lease).
• Sometimes manufacturer or dealer lessor might quote artificially low rate of interest to attract the
customers. The use of such a rate would result into lessor recognizing excessive amount of total
income at the commencement of lease (which is against the prudence concept) [lower rate would
result into higher PV and vice versa]. In such cases, the selling profit is restricted to that which
would apply if a market rate of interest is charged (means if both the lower implicit rate and
market rate of interest are given then use market rate for the calculation of present value).[MCQ
Chapter 13 Q.17]
Defined periods
A lease may be split into a primary period followed by an option to extend the lease for a further
period(a secondary period).
In some cases, the lessee might be able to exercise such an option with a small rental or even for no
rental at all. If such an option exists and it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the option,
the second period is part of the lease term.

Question in practice questions.


Lease accounting (Lessee) [summary]
At the commencement date, a lessee should recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. It is the
date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by a lessee.
At the commencement date, a lessee should measure the right-of-use asset at cost. The cost of the
right-of-use asset should comprise:
(a) the present value of lease payments;
(b) less any lease incentives received;
(c) Add any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee;
(d) an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the asset,
restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required
by the terms and conditions of the lease.
The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be
readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee shall use the lessee’s
incremental borrowing rate.
Property companies: Many companies own properties which they lease out to others. These
companies will apply IAS 40 to their assets.

Classification of Lease
• No indication of transfer of ownership
• No indication of purchase option.
• Lease term does not cover major portion of useful.
• As LP is already 76% (W-1) of fair value of asset therefore if we calculate PV of LP it will
belower than LP. It means this criteria is also not met.
• As there is no indication of specialized asset therefore assume that asset is not a specialized
asset.
Conclusion: As all the conditions are not met therefore lease is an operating lease.

ANSWERS

1 SHER KHAN LIMITED


Scenario 1: Lease term = 5 years
Explanation: The optional extension period is included because Entity A (lessee) is reasonably
certain that it will exercise the option to extend the lease.
Scenario 2: Lease term = 3 years
Explanation: The optional extension period is excluded because Entity A (lessee) is not
reasonably certain that it will exercise the option to extend the lease.
Scenario 3: Lease term = 7 years
Explanation: The optional cancellable period is excluded since it is only included if there is
reasonable certainty that the option to cancel (terminate) the lease would not be exercised.
However, in this case, Entity A (lessee) is reasonably certain that it will exercise its option to
cancel.
Scenario 4: Lease term = 10 years
Explanation: The optional cancellable period is included because we include it if we are
reasonably certain that we would not exercise our option to cancel (terminate) the lease. In this
case, Entity A (lessee) is reasonably certain that it will not wish to cancel the lease.
Scenario 5: Lease term = 7 years
Explanation: The optional cancellable period is excluded. Although we normally include the
cancellable periods if we are reasonably certain that the option to cancel (terminate) will not be
exercised, and in this case, Entity A (lessee) is reasonably certain that it will not wish to cancel
the lease, the cancellable period is excluded because the lessor also has the option to cancel the
lease during this period.

Rate to be used
Ebid Company should use 10% as implicit rate. This rate is being charged by lessor and is known to the
lessee.
Incremental borrowing rate is used by lessee when implicit rate is not available.

A.4 Solution:
Munir Niazi
a) Computation of Annual Rental
According to IFRS 16, by using interest rate implicit in the lease
FV of Asset + IDC = PV of LP + PV of URV
1,200,000 + 0 = R + R[1-(1+i)-n] + URV
(1+n)-n
i
=R+ R [1-(1+0.08)-4] + 100,000 (1 + 0.08)-5
0.08
R = 262,502
b) Computation of Gross Investment
Gross investment = 262,502 x 5 + 100,000
= 1,412,510
Unearned Finance Income
UFI = GI – NI
= 1,412,510 – 1,200,000
= 212,510
Net Investment = 262,502 + 262,502 [1- (1+ 0.08)-4] + 100,000 (1+0.08)-5
0.08

DEFINITIONS AND CONCEPTS
Recognition requirement for lessee [IFRS 16: 22]
A lessee is required to recognise a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a
lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments.
Recognition Exemptions [IFRS 16: 5, 6 & 8]
A lessee may avail exemption from above recognition requirements in following cases:
a) Short term leases: A lease that, at commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less (including
extension option etc.). A lease that contains a purchase option is not a short-term lease. This exemption is
available to lessee by class of assets.
b) Leases of low value items (whether or not material to lessee): The leases for which the underlying asset is
of low value (e.g. telephones, laptop computers, and office furniture). If a lessee subleases an asset, or
expects to sublease an asset, the head lease does not qualify as a lease of a low-value asset. A lease of an
underlying asset does not qualify as a lease of a low-value asset if the nature of the asset is such that, when
new, the asset is typically not of low value. This exemption is available to lessee on lease by lease basis.
The lease payments associated with short term and low value item leases are charged as an expense on either a
straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis (only if more representative).
Inception date & commencement date [IFRS 16: Appendix A] Inception date of the lease
The earlier of the date of a lease agreement and the date of commitment by the parties to the principal terms and
conditions of the lease. The type of lease is identified on this date.
Commencement date of the lease
The date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by a lessee. The accounting treatment is
applied from this date.
Example:
J Limited enters into a contract for the lease of a car with K Leasing Limited on January 18th. K Leasing Limited
agrees to transfer the car in the name of J Limited on February 3rd. However, J Limited would have the right to use
the car as at February 22nd.
Required: Identify the inception date and commencement date of lease.
ANSWER:
Inception date: January 18th Commencement date of lease: February 22nd
Lease Term [IFRS 16: 18]
Lease term is the non-cancellable period for which a lessee has the right to use an underlying asset, together with
both:
• periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise
that option; and
• periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to
exercise that option.
Example:
S Limited acquired a plant on lease for a non-cancellable period of 6 years. S Limited has right to extend the period
of lease further 4 years at the end of first 6 years.
Required:
Determine the lease term assuming that:
(a) It is reasonably certain that S Limited will not exercise extension option.
(b) It is reasonably certain that S Limited will exercise extension option.
ANSWER:
(a) 6 years
(b) 10 years
Economic life and useful life [IFRS 16: Appendix A]

630
Economic life is either:
• The period over which an asset is expected to be economically usable by one or more users; or

• The number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by one or
more users.
Useful life is either:
• The period over which an asset is expected to be available for use by an entity; or

• The number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from an asset by an entity.
Notice that useful life is entity specific concept and economic life is not. Useful life is relevant to calculation of
depreciation while economic life is one of the factors considered while classifying the lease contract.
Example B Limited acquired a second hand plant. The total maximum use of such plant is expected to be
12 years by one or more users. The plant has already been used for 4 years by previous owners. B Limited
intends to use the plant for 5 years and then wants to sell it to someone else.
Required: Determine economic life and useful life.
ANSWER:
Total economic life is 12 years (remaining 8 years). Total useful life for B Limited is 5 years.
Lease payments (including residual value guarantee) [IFRS 16: Appendix A]
Lease payments are payments made by a lessee to a lessor relating to the right to use an underlying asset
during the lease term, comprising the following:
• Fixed payments less any lease incentives;

• Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate;[e.g. if certain profit level is achieved]
• The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

• Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising
an option to terminate the lease.
Lease payments also include:
• For the lessee, amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees.

• For the lessor, any residual value guarantees provided to the lessor by the lessee, a party related
to the lessee or a third party unrelated to the lessor that is financially capable of discharging the
obligations under the guarantee.
“Residual value guarantee” is a guarantee made to a lessor by a party unrelated to the lessor that the value
(or part of the value) of an underlying asset at the end of a lease will be at least a specified amount.
Example
Adeel Limited (AL) acquired a machine on lease from Kashif Limited (KL) on following terms:
Down Payment Rs. 5 million
Annual Payments (in arrears) Rs. 8
million Lease Term 5 years
In addition to above information consider the following three independent scenarios:
Scenario 1: AL has guaranteed residual value of Rs. 10 million, although it expects to pay Rs. Nil as machine has
expected residual value of Rs. 15 million.
Scenario 2: AL has guaranteed residual value of Rs. 10 million, although it expects to pay only Rs. 3 million as
machine has expected to have market value of Rs. 7 million at end of lease term.
Scenario 3: AL has not guaranteed any residual value, however, M Limited (manufacturer of machine) has
guaranteed KL to purchase the machine at the end of lease term at Rs. 13 million if KL so desire.

631
Required: Calculate total lease payments for AL and KL for each of the above scenarios.
ANSWER:
Scenario 1:
For AL (Lessee): [5m + (8m x 5 years) + Nil] = Rs. 45 m
For KL (Lessor): [5m + (8m x 5 years) + 10m] = Rs. 55m
Scenario 2:
For AL (Lessee): [5m + (8m x 5 years) + 3m] = Rs. 48
m For KL (Lessor): [5m + (8m x 5 years) + 10m] = Rs.
55m Scenario 3:
For AL (Lessee): [5m + (8m x 5 years) + Nil] = Rs. 45
m For KL (Lessor): [5m + (8m x 5 years) + 13m] = Rs.
58m
Definitions relating to finance lease calculation [IFRS 16: Appendix
A] Example:
M Leasing Limited (MLL) leased an asset (fair value Rs. 285,000) to XYZ Limited for use at annual
rental (in arrears) of Rs. 80,000 for five years. MLL incurred initial direct costs of Rs. 5,227 on inception
of lease. MLL estimated the residual value of Rs. 30,000 at the end of lease term, however, only Rs.
20,000 is guaranteed by XYZ Limited. Interest rate implicit in lease is 14%.
Required: Calculate amounts relevant to finance lease from the above information for MLL.
ANSWER:
Residual value guarantee = Rs. 20,000
Lease payments [(80,000 x 5) + 20,000] = Rs. 420,000
Unguaranteed residual value [30,000 – 20,000] = Rs. 10,000
Gross investment in lease [420,000 + 10,000] = Rs. 430,000

PV of rentals [80,000 x (1-1.14-5) / 0.14] = Rs. 274,646


PV of RV guarantee [20,000 x 1.14-5] = Rs. 10,387
PV of URV [10,000 x 1.14-5] = Rs. 5,194
Net investment in lease [274,646 + 10,387 + 5,194] = Rs. 290,227

Example [To calculate lease rental]


Sani Limited (SL) leased an asset having fair value of Rs. 3,500,000 from Khan Limited (KL) for a lease
term of 5 years. SL incurred initial direct costs of Rs. 60,000 and KL incurred initial direct costs of Rs.
40,000 separately.
KL estimates the residual value of the asset at the end of lease term to be Rs. 500,000 out of which 200,000 is
guaranteed by SL.
KL incorporates interest rate implicit in the lease of 15% while incremental borrowing rate of SL is 14%.
Required: Calculate annual rentals (equal) to be paid in arrears in the above lease arrangement.
Answer
Using the equations (from lessor’s perspective):
1–(1+0.015)—5
3500000 + 40000 = [𝑅 [ ] + 200,000(1.15)–5] + 300,000(1.15)–5
0.15
3,540,000= 3.35 R + 99,435 + 149,153
R = 3,540,000–9
3.35
,435–1 ,153
= 982511.

ACCOUNTING BY LESSEE
Example
On 1 January 2020, Multan Limited (ML) acquired a machine on lease from Vehari Leasing Limited
(VLL) for 3 years. The first annual instalment amounting to Rs. 35 million was paid on 1 January 2020
and two more subsequent annual instalments of Rs. 35 million are payable on 1 January each year.
ML incurred initial direct cost of Rs. 5 million. ML uses similar owned machines for 7 years and
depreciates them on straight line basis.
Interest rate implicit in the lease is not known to ML. However, ML’s incremental borrowing rate is 12%.
The machine shall be returned to VLL at the end of lease term. The estimated residual value of the
machine at the end of 3 years is estimated at Rs. 30 million, out of which ML has guaranteed Rs. 20
million.
ML is also obliged to incur decommissioning cost of Rs. 4 million at the end of the lease term. The pre‑
tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to such
obligation is 10%.
Required: Prepare the journal entry at commencement date of lease in the books of ML.

Accounting for short term and low value item leases [IFRS 16: 6]
The lease payments associated with short term and low value item leases are charged as an expense on
either a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis (only if more representative).
Example
An entity leased a car under a ten months lease at Rs. 40,000 per month for first five months and Rs.
30,000 for next five months. The asset had fair value of Rs. 3,000,000. The ownership will not transfer
to the lessee. Required: Briefly explain the accounting treatment assuming that the entity wants to
apply recognition exemption under IFRS 16.
ANSWER:
The above lease meets short term lease definition as lease term is less than 12 months and ownership
will not be transferred at the end of lease term. The monthly expense on straight line basis would be:
[(Rs. 40,000 x 5 months) + (Rs. 30,000 x 5 months )] / 10 months = Rs. 35,000 per month

Date Particulars Debit Rs. Credit Rs

Prepayment 5,000
Cash/Bank 40,000
For each of next five months Lease rental expense 35,00
Cash/Bank 30,000
Prepayments 5,000
Example
S Limited (SL) leased a laptop computer under a 24 months lease at Rs. 2,500 per month. A sum of Rs.
4,800 was also deposited as non-refundable down payment. The fair value of the laptop computer is Rs.
95,000. SL determines that it is low value asset.
Required: Briefly discuss the accounting treatment assuming that SL want to apply recognition
exemption under IFRS 16.
ANSWER:
When the lessee makes payments to lessor over 24 months, the lessee shall account for the payments in

635
equal instalments (straight line basis). The monthly expense on straight line basis would be:
[Rs. 4,800 + (Rs. 2,500 x 24 months )] / 24 months = Rs. 2,700 per month

the information specified in relevant disclosure of IAS 16 for those right of use assets.
Example:
On 1 April 2015 Acacia Ltd entered into the following lease agreement.
I. Plant with a fair value of Rs. 275,000 was leased under an agreement which requires Acacia Ltd to make
annual payments of Rs. 78,250 on 1 April each year, commencing on 1 April 2015, for four years. After
the four years Acacia Ltd has the option to continue to lease the plant at a nominal rent for a further three

636
years and is likely to do so as the asset has an estimated useful life of seven years. The present value of
the lease payments is Rs. 272,850. Acacia Ltd is responsible for insuring and maintaining the plant during
the period of the lease.
II. Office equipment with a fair value of Rs. 24,000 was leased under a non-cancellable agreement which
requires Acacia Ltd to make annual payments of Rs. 6,000 on 1 April each year, commencing on 1 April
2015, for three years. The lessor remains responsible for insuring and maintaining the equipment during
the period of the lease. The equipment has an estimated useful life of ten years. The present value of the
lease payments is Rs. 16,415. This lease is considered low value item lease by Acacia Ltd.
Acacia Ltd allocates finance charges on an actuarial basis. The interest rate implicit in the lease is 10%.

[include on page 285] Indicators of situations that individually or in combination could also lead to a
lease being classified as a finance lease (not always conclusive) are:
• Lessor’s losses associated with the cancellation of lease are borne by the lessee;

• Gain or losses from the fluctuation in fair value accrue to the lessee as discussed above that risks
and rewards are of lessee (as discussed above that risks and rewards are of lessee); and/or

• The lessee has the ability to continue the lease for secondary period at a rent that is
substantially lower than market rent.
Classification is not changed due to: [include at the end of Chapter]
• change in estimates (economic life, residual value etc.); and/or
• change in circumstances (e.g. default by lessee).
Example
Consider the following independent scenarios:
I. E Limited acquired a special customized engine on lease. The engine can only be used by E
Limited unless substantial modifications are made to the engine.

638
II. P Limited acquired an asset on lease with fair value of Rs. 10 million and present value of
lease payments is Rs. 9.7 million.
III. M Limited acquired an asset on lease economic life of 20 years while M Limited wants to use
the asset only for 17 years. The company has no intention to purchase the asset at the end of
its lease term.
IV. T Limited acquired an asset on lease with an option to buy the asset at the end of lease term for
Rs. 12 million. The fair value of the asset at the end of lease term is expected to be at least Rs. 55
million.
Required: Identify the above leases as either finance or operating leases from the perspective of lessor.
ANSWER:
All of the above leases are likely to be classified as finance lease because:
i. The underlying assets is of such specialised nature that only lessee can use it without
major modifications.
ii. The present value of lease payments amounts to substantially all of the fair value of underlying asset.
iii. The lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying asset.
iv. As purchase options is sufficiently lower than the fair value at the date of option, it is
reasonably certain that this option will be exercised by the lessee.
Example
Jhang Construction has leased a cement lorry. The cash price of the lorry would be Rs.3,000,000. The
lease is for 6 years at an annual rental (in arrears) of Rs.600,000. The asset is believed to have an
economic life of 7 years. The interest rate implicit in the lease is 7%.
Jhang Construction is responsible for maintaining and insuring the asset.
Required: Identify the type of lease Jhang Construction has entered into and state the reasons.
ANSWER:
The lease is a finance lease. The reasons are:
• The lease is for a major part of the life of the asset (6 out of 7 years).

• Jhang Construction must insure the asset. It is exposed to one of the major risks of ownership of
the asset (its loss).

• The present value of the lease payments is 95.3% [(600,000 x (1-1.07-6/0.07))/3,000,000] of the
fair value of the asset at the inception of the lease.
Accounting for finance lease (manufacturer or dealer lessor) [IFRS 16: 71 to 75]
A manufacturer or dealer lessor shall account for the finance lease as follows:

Initial recognition – at commencement date of lease. Dr. Net Investment in lease

Dr. Cost of Sales [Cost – PV of URV] (Note 1)

Cr. Sales [Lower of fair value & PV

of lease payments] (Note 2) Cr.

Inventory [at Cost]

639
Note 1: Selling profit or loss [Revenue – Cost of Sales] is recognised in PL regardless of whether the lessor transfers the
underlying asset as described in IFRS 15

Note 2: Manufacturer or dealer lessors sometimes quote artificially low rates of interest in order to attract customers. The
use of such a rate would result in a lessor recognising an excessive portion of the total income from the transaction at the
commencement date(which is against the prudence concept)(the use oflower rate results into higher present value and vice
versa) If artificially low rates of interest are quoted, a manufacturer or dealer lessor shall restrict selling profit to that which
would apply if a market rate of interest were charged.

Example:
Multan Motors (MM) is a car dealer. It sells cars on cash and also offers a certain model for sale by lease.

Disclosure – Additional Information


This additional information (qualitative & quantitative) includes, but is not limited to, information that
helps users of financial statements to assess:
• the nature of the lessor’s leasing activities; and

• how the lessor manages the risk associated with any rights it retains in underlying assets,
in particular, its risk management strategy for its rights in underlying assets.
The above additional disclosure are applicable to both, finance lease and operating lease.
Accounting for operating lease [IFRS 16: 81 to 86 & 88]
Lease Income Lease income from operating lease shall be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term
unless another systematic basis is more representative of benefit derived from the leased asset
Related costs A lessor shall recognise costs, including depreciation, incurred in earning the lease
income as an expense.
Depreciation The deprecation is to be charged as per normal depreciation policy as per IAS 16 or IAS
and impairment 38. Similarly, IAS 36 shall be applied for impairment.
Initial direct costs A lessor shall add initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease to the
carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognise those costs as an expense over
the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.
Presentation in SFP A lessor shall present underlying assets subject to operating leases in its statement of
financial position according to the nature of the underlying asset.
Manufacturer A manufacturer or dealer lessor does not recognise any selling profit on entering into an
or dealer lessor operating lease because it is not the equivalent of a sale.

for a period of five years. The initial draft contract fulfils all conditions to be classified as a lease contract. However, the following
additionalterms are under consideration between the parties for inclusion in the contract:
(i) Instead of fixed rentals, the lease rental would be based on the number of photocopiesproduced.
(ii) The machine will be placed in a common area where neighbouring office can also utilize it, by paying
charges to CL.
(iii) AL will have the right to terminate the contract after three years.
(iv) CL will have the right to replace the machine with another machine.
Required:
For each additional term under consideration, evaluate whether its inclusion would affect the classification of the
contract as a lease. (08)

Lease Part 3:
Lease Classification
Identifying whether entity has a lease
At inception of a contract, an entity shall assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
Definition of lease contract:
A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified
asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Is the asset identified
a. Identification can be explicit or implicit: the contract might name a specific asset (e.g specific serial
numbers of asset (explicit identification) or a specific asset could simply be implied through it being made
available to the entity (implicit identification) e.g supplier has only one asset i.e.factory or generator which
can be given away) that is capable of being used to meet the contract terms.
b. Portions of asset can be identified: An identified asset could be just a portion of an asset if the portionis
physically distinct (eg floor of a plaza). An identified asset cannot, however, simply be a portion of asset’s
capacity, unless the portion of asset’s capacity is physically distinct or if the portion of the capacity is
substantially all of the asset’s capacity (e.g capacity portion of a fiber optic cable is unlikely to be an
identified asset.)
c. Assets are not considered as ‘identified’ if supplier has substantive right of substitution:
A supplier’s right to substitute assets is considered substantive if the supplier has both :
 Practical ability to substitute (for example, asset with specialized nature cannot be substituted) ; and
 Would benefit economically if it substituted the asset (i.e. benefits of substitution exceeds cost of
substitution)

Example 1:
A plaza has 8 floors. First 2 floors are given on rent. However, owner (supplier) has right to substitute these
two floors if a new customer provides higher rent and then transfer first customer to other floors of the plaza
(or supplier has more than one vehicles and he can substitute them if he gets higher rent from another
customer)

Example 2:
If an asset is located at customer premises then it is very difficult and costly to substitute the asset by the
supplier (it could be an example that substitution rights are not substantive)

If the right of supplier is considered to be substantive based on above criteria, the asset is not identified
and thus there is no lease.

Important note: If it is difficult to determine whether a supplier’s right to substitute is substantive or not,
wemust assume that the “substitution right is not substantive”

Does the customer (lessee) has the right to “control the use’ of the asset?

The customer (lessee) shall be deemed to have the right to “control the use of asset” if:
i. He has a right to obtain substantially all the benefits from the use of the asset; and
ii. He has a right to direct the use of asset
i. The right to substantially all of the benefits
When assessing whether the customer (lessee) has the right to obtain substantially all the economic
benefits, it does not matter whether it can obtain these benefits directly or indirectly. This means that the
entity could obtain the benefits from using the leased asset (direct usage) or, for example, sub-leasing the
asset (indirect usage). The phrase ‘all of economic benefits’ refers to the benefits from both the primary
output and also any secondary output (i.e. it includes the inflows expected from, for example, the sale of
by-products).

645
e.g. If there is a factory of a supplier and customer has only contracted for a specific output and the
remaining output belongs to other customers then one specified customer do not have a right to
substantially all the benefits (which means asset is not in control of customer and therefore there is no
lease, it is simply a service contract)

Important Note:
The fact that the contract may require the customer (lessee) to pay the supplier (lessor) some of the benefits
earned from using the asset does not mean that the customer has not obtained substantially all the
economic benefits from using the asset. Instead, when assessing whether the customer has the “right to
receive substantially all the benefits’. the gross benefits received by the lessee (not the benefits net of any
portion thereof that must be paid over to the lessor or any third party) are considered. If any portion of the
benefits are to be paid to the supplier or some other third party, this portion is simply accounted for as part
of the consideration paid for the lease (means consider it as lease payments.)

ii. The right to direct the use: The customer (lessee) is deemed to have a right to direct the use of
an asset
a. if customer (lessee) has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used; or
b. if the ‘how and for what purpose’ is already pre-determined, then:
i. if the customer has the right to operate the asset (or direct others in this regard)
ii. if customer designed the asset and its design predetermines the ‘how and for what
purpose”

Example: Substantive substitution right


ABC Ltd enters into a 5 year contract with a freight carrier (XYZ Ltd.) to transport a specified quantity of
goods. XYZ Ltd. uses rail cars of a particular specification, and has a large pool of similar rail cars that can
be used to fulfil the requirements of the contract. The rail cars and engines are stored at XYZ Ltd. premises
when they are not being used to transport goods. Costs associated with substituting the rail cars are minimal
for XYZ Ltd.
Required: whether the contract contains a lease.
Answer:In this case, because the rail cars are stored at XYZ Ltd. premises, it has a large pool of similar rail
cars and substitution costs are minimal, the benefits to XYZ Ltd. of substituting the rail cars would exceed
the costs of substituting the cars.

Therefore, XYZ Ltd. substitution rights are substantive and the arrangement does not contain a lease.

Low Value asset:


The underlying asset is not highly dependent on, or highly interrelated with other assets.
(Means we cannot break the aero plane into seats , engines etc and say these are individually low value
assets.)

Example 1:
Lease commencement date 01-01-2018.
There are following lease payments in the contract:60,000 in first year in arrears.
72,000 in second year in arrears.84,000 in fourth year in arrears.
Rate = 10%
Lease is not for an asset considered as low value.

Q. (a) Customer enters into a 15-year contract with supplier for the right to use a specified amount of
capacity within a cable connecting Hong Kong to Tokyo. The specified amount is equivalent to customer
having the use of the full capacity of three fibre strands within the cable (the cable contains 15 fibres with
similar capacities). Supplier makes decisions about the transmission of data (i.e. supplier lights the fibres,
makes decisions about which fibres are used to transmit customers traffic and makes decisions about the
electronic equipment that supplier owns and connects to the fibres).
Required: Identify whether the contract is or contains a lease. (5)

(b) Customer enters into a contract with supplier for the use of a truck for one week to transport cargo
from Narowal to Sahiwal. Supplier does not have substitution rights. Only cargo specified in the contract
is permitted to be transported on this truck for the period of the contract. The contract specifies a
maximum distance that the truck can be driven. Customer is able to choose the details of the journey
(speed, route, rest, stops, etc.) within the parameters of the contract. Customer does not have the right to
continue using the truck after the specified trip is complete.
The cargo to be transported, and the timing and location of pick up in Narowal and delivery in Sahiwal are
specified in the contract.
Customer is responsible for driving the truck from Narowal to Sahiwal.
Required: Identify whether the contract is or contains a lease. (5)

649
A. (a) Supplier makes all decisions about the transmission of its customers’ data, which requires the use of
only a portion of the capacity of the cable for each customer. The capacity portion that will be provided to
customer is not physically distinct from the remaining capacity of the cable and does not represent
substantially all of the capacity of the cable. Consequently, customer does not have the right to use an
identified asset.

The contract does not contain a lease.

(b) Customer has the right to use the truck for the duration of the specified trip.

There is an identified asset. The truck is explicitly specified in the contract and supplier does not have
the right to substitute the truck.

Customer has the right to control the use of truck throughout the period of use because:

a) Customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the truck
over the period of use. Customer has exclusive use of the truck throughout the period of use.
b) Customer has the right to direct the use of the truck because the condition exists How and for
what purpose the truck will be used (i.e. the transportation of specified cargo from Narowal to
Sahiwal within a specified timeframe) is predetermined in the contract. Customer directs the use
of the truck because it has the right to operate the truck (for example speed, route, rest stops)
throughout the period of use. Customer makes all of the decisions about the use of the truck that
can be made during the period of use through its control of the operations of the truck.

The contract contains a lease of a truck.

Because the duration of the contract is one week, this lease meets the definition of a short term lease.(i.e.
It is lease but definitely short term lease )

REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (IFRS 15)
IFRS replaced IAS 18 and IAS 11.
Revenue: Income arising in the course of an entity’s ordinary activities.
Customer: is a party that has contracted with an entity to obtain the goods or services that are an output of the
entity’s ordinary activities.
Core Principle of IFRS 15: is that an entity recognizes revenue to reflect the transfer of goods or services to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for
those goods or services.
Transfer of goods or services occur when the customer obtains control of goods.
Control is obtained when the customers has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all remaining
benefits from the asset (asset in this IFRS 15 covers both goods and services). (Goods may be tangible or
intangible).
Performance obligation: is a promise in a contract with customer to transfer to customer either:
 A good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that are distinct; or
 A series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that has the same pattern of
transfer to customer (e.g electricity and internet services)
Five step model [Para 2 of IFRS Part A1]
Applying the above core principle involves following a five step model as follows:
Step 1: Identify the Contract with a Customer:
Step 2: Identify the separate performance Obligations in the
Contract:Step 3: Determine the Transaction Price:
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Example: On 1 Dec. 2001, Wasim receives an order from a customer for a computer as well as 12 months’
technical support. Wasim delivers the computer (and thus control) to the customer on same date. The computer
sells for 30,000 and technical support for 12,000 per annum. The customer paid 42,000 upfront. Discuss how
revenue should be recognized for this transaction during the year ended 31.12.2001.
Solution:
Below is how five steps to be applied in this transaction:
Step 1: Identify the Contract with a Customer: there is an agreement between Wasim and its customer for goods
and services.
Step 2: Identify the performance Obligations in the Contract: there are two performance obligations in the
contract;
 Computer; and
 Technical support
Step 3: Determine the Transaction Price: it is 42,000
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on standalone prices:
no need for any allocation as the transaction price and standalone price is same (will be discussed later).
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation: control over the
computer has passed to the customer on 1 December 2001, therefore revenue of 30,000 should be recognized on
that date. The technical support is provided over time so revenue should be recognized over time. During the year
ended 31 December 2001, revenue of 1,000 (12,000 x 1/12) should be recognized related to technical support.
Example:

651
On 01.01.2016 UFONE gives a bundle offer to a customer as follows:
 A free hand set on 01.01.2016; plus
 12 months’ network services for Rs. 100 per month (means total revenue is 100 x 12 = 1200) Let’s assume
standalone prices if goods and services are sold separately, are:
Handset = 300
Network services (80 x 12) = 960
Total =1,260
Transaction date is 1.01.2016
Required: Explain how to account for the revenue in the above scenario.
Solution:
There are two performance obligations; hand set and network services.
Transaction price is 1,200. This transaction price is to be allocated between both performances obligations
based on their respective standalone prices as follows:
Performance Standalone Allocated transaction revenue Billings
obligations price price
Hand set 300 285.7 (300/1,260 x 1,200) 285.7* -
Network services 960 (80 x 12) 914.3 76.2 / month** 100 / month
1,260 1,200
*recognize when handset is delivered.
**recognize as the services are delivered.

Further explanation of five step model


(1) Step 1: Identify the Contract with a Customer:
A contract is an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and
obligations. Contract may be written or oral (or as per business practices; e.g. an invoice).
(2) Step 2: Identify the performance Obligations in the Contract:
A contract includes promises to transfer goods or services to a customer. E.g. a promise to deliver a good
or service.
(3) Step 3: Determine the Transaction Price:
The transaction price is the amount of consideration in a contract to which an entity expects to be entitled
in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer.
Transaction price is also adjusted for the effects of time value of money if the contract includes a significant
financing component. In addition, transaction price is also adjusted for any consideration payable to the customer
(further discussion later on)
Time value of money:
Revenue is the market price less any trade discount allowed.
If a sale is a cash sale, the revenue is the immediate proceeds of the sale. If a sale is a normal credit sale, the
revenue is the expected future receipt.
However, in some cases when the payment is deferred, the cash sale price might be less than theamount of
cash that will eventually be received.
The difference between the total sale value and the cash price of the consideration is recognised as interest
income. However, this adjustment is only required if the period between transfer of goods and receipt of cash is
equal to or more than one year.

Example: Deferred consideration
An enterprise sells a machine on 1 January 2015. The terms of sale are that the enterprise will receive Rs. 5
million on 31 December 2016 (2 years later).

(4) Step 4: If there are more than one performance obligations in the contract; then allocate the
transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of relative stand-alone selling prices of each
distinct good or services, promised in the contract.
Stand Alone Price means a price at which an entity would sell a promised good or service separately to a
customer (means market price if a product is sold separately) (without bulkdiscount).
Transaction Price means amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for
transferring promised goods or services to a customer; excluding amount collected on behalf of third parties
e.g. amount collected for owner (with bulk discount if any) or sales tax collected on behalf of government.
Transaction price may be equal to stand-alone price or may be different (normally less if there are more than
one distinct goods or services in a contract).

Collection of Revenue by Agent


Estate Agent Limited provides a service to a client whereby it collects monthly rentals of 15,000 on thelast day
of each month. The agent is entitled to a commission calculated at 10% of the rental and the remainder is paid
over to the property owner on the first day of the next month.
Required:
Provide the journal entries to show the collection of the rental and the revenue earned in the accounting records of
Estate Agent Limited.
Solution:
Collection of Revenue by Agents

Debit Credit
Bank Given 15,000
Revenue 15,000 × 10% 1,500
Rental payable to property owners 15,000 – 1,500 13,500

655
(Recording the collection of rentals and the portion of revenue)
Rental payable to property owners 13,500
Bank 13,500
(Recording the payment of the amount due to the owners)
(5) Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
An entity recognises revenue when (or as) it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good
or service to a customer (which is when the customer obtains control of that good or service). The amount of
revenue recognised is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation; as a result of allocation of
transaction price in step 4.
 A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time (typically for transfer of goods) or
 A performance obligation may be satisfied over a period of time (typically for transfer of services).
Detailed discussion of IFRS 15:
(A) Identify the Contract [Para 9 of IFRS Part A1]
An entity shall account for a contract with customer only when all of the following criteria are met:
(a) The parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing or orally etc) and are committed to
perform their respective obligations under the contract.
(b) Entity can identify each party’s rights (e.g goods and cash)
(c) Entity can identify the payment terms (e.g payment is to be made in 15 days)
(d) Contract has commercial substance. [An exchange of goods lack commercial substance when non-
monetary exchange occurs between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers e.g.
a contract between two oil companies that agree to an exchange of oil to fulfil demand from their
customers in different specified locations on a timely basis][it means contract will have commercial
substance if risks, timing or amount of the entity’s future cash flows is expected to change as a result of
contract]; and
Example 1
Two shopkeepers are independently operating mobile shops in different cities of Pakistan i.e. Lahore and Karachi.
The mobile orders are placed by customers online and shopkeepers than deliver the mobile using courier service.
The shopkeeper in Lahore has received an online order from a customer in Karachi. The mobile ordered is not
there in stock at Lahore therefore he requested the shopkeeper in Karachi to deliver mobile to his customer in
Karachi and in exchange in future he will deliver same mobile for Karachi shopkeeper for his customer in Lahore.
The exchange transaction has no commercial substance because amount of entity's future cash flows is not
expected, to change as a result of the contract.
(e) It is probable that entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods
or services that will be transferred to the customer.

Question from above can be: criteria to be fulfilled before general IFRS 15 model is applied
Treatment of consideration received; if contract does not meet the criteria for the identification of the
contract:
When a contract does not meet the above criteria and entity receives a consideration from the customer, the entity
shall recognise the consideration received as revenue only when either of the following events has occurred:
(a) The entity has no remaining obligation to transfer goods or services and all or substantially all of
consideration has been received and is non-refundable; or
(b) The contract has been terminated and consideration is non-refundable.

Example 2
Mr. Anjum agreed on March 1, 2016 to sell 5 cutting machines to Dawlance. Due to some deficiency in drafting

656
the agreement each party's rights cannot be identified. On March 31, 2016 Mr. Anjum delivered the goods and
these were accepted Dawlance. After 10 days of delivery i.e. April 10, 2016 Dawlance made the full payment and
the payment is non-refundable.
When should Anjum record the revenue?
Answer:
As Mr. Anjum cannot identify each party's rights .so revenue recognition should be delayed until the entity's
(Anjum's) performance is complete and substantially all of the consideration (cash) in the arrangement has been
collected and is non-refundable.
Therefore Mr. Anjum should record the revenue on April 10, 2016, as it is the date on which performance is
complete and non-refundable payment is received.
Example 3:
A CA firm agreed to supply consultancy services to a leading school. A non-refundable advance of Rs. 50,000 is
received at the time of agreement on January 1, 2012. The final payment terms were not clear as per agreement.
On 15 January 201 2 the contract was terminated.
When should CA firm record the revenue?
Answer
If a contract does not meet these criteria, revenue is recorded when the contract has been terminated and the
consideration received is nonrefundable.
Therefore, revenue should be recorded on 15 January 2012.
An entity shall recognise the consideration received as a liability until one of the events above occurs.

Does the contract exist if either of the party can terminate it? [Para 12 of IFRS Part A1]
A contract does not exist if each party (either seller or buyer) has the unilateral enforceable right to terminate a
wholly unperformed contract without compensating the other party.
A Contract will be wholly unperformed if the following criteria is met:
(a) Entity has not yet transferred any good or services, and
(b) Entity has not yet received or entitle to receive any consideration.
Example 3A
A shopkeeper agreed to deliver 30 computers to Mr. Umer within 3 months’ time. As per the agreement
shopkeeper can cancel the contract any time before delivering the computers. In case of cancellation shopkeeper
is not required to pay any penalty to Umer. Does the contract exist?
Solution:
A contract does not exist if each party (either buyer or seller) has an enforceable right to terminate a wholly
unperformed contract without compensating the other party.
As shopkeeper can cancel contract without compensating Umer so contract does not exist.
Combination of contracts (what are the situations in which two or more contracts can be combined as a
single contract) [Para 17 of IFRS Part A1]
The entity must combine two or more contracts entered into at or near the same time with the same customer and
treat them as a single contract if one or more of the following conditions are present:
1. The contracts are negotiated as a package with a single commercial objective.
2. The amount of consideration to be paid in one contract depends on the price or performance of the other
contract; or
3. The goods or services promised in the contracts are a single performance obligation.
Example 4:

657
Builder Co. enters into 2 separate agreements with customer X.
 Agreement 1: Deliver bricks to Customer X for Rs. 100,000
 Agreement 2: Build a wall for customer X for Rs. 7,000Normal price of constructing wall is Rs. 30,000.
Analysis
The two agreements should be combined and considered as a one contract because contracts are negotiated with a
single commercial objective of building a wall. The price of two agreements is interdependent. Builder Co. is
probably charging high price for bricks to compensate for the discounted (lower) price for building the wall.
Example 5:
X Limited enters into two separate contracts to transfer Products A and B to Y Limited. However, payment for the
delivery of Product A is conditional on the delivery of Product B.
Analysis
As the consideration to be paid in one contract depends on the performance of the other contract so both contracts
will be combined.
Example 6:
Combination of contracts for related services
Software Company A enters into a contract to sell software to Customer B. Three days later, in a separatecontract,
Software Company A agrees to provide consulting services to significantly customize the software to function in
Customer B's IT environment. Customer B is unable to use the software until the customization services are
complete.
Analysis
Software Company A determines that the two contracts are combined because they were entered into at or nearly
the same time with the same customer, and the goods or services in the contracts are a "single performance
obligation". Software Company A is providing a significant service of integrating the software and consulting
services into the combined item for which the customer has contracted. In addition, the software will be
significantly customized by the consulting services.
Examples of contracts which can be combined are as follows:
 Supply and installation of a machine
 Design and building of a house
 Supply of a software and then update the same.
 Supply of goods and services
[Even if contracts are combined we may identify more than 1 performance obligations]
{The significance of combining the contracts is that all contracts will have a single combined transaction price}
(Which will then be allocated if required).
Contract Modification [Para 18 of IFRS Part A1]
A contract modification is a change in scope or price (or both) of a contract that is approved by parties to the
contract. E.g. changes in design, quantity, timing or method of performance.

Examples include:
 Adding a swimming pool to a building
 Increase in number of items to be supplied
 Extending an IT service contract (e.g providing software and afterwards its installation)
When a contract modification be considered as a separate contract: [Para 20 of IFRS Part A1]
An entity shall account for a contract modification as a separate contract if both the following conditions are
present:

658
(a) Scope of contract increases because of addition of goods or services; and
(b) The price of the contract increases by an amount of consideration that reflects the entities standalone
selling prices (market price) of additional goods or services.
Example:
ABC Ltd promises to sell 120 products to a customer for Rs.12, 000 (Rs.100 per product). The products are
transferred to the customer over a six-month period. The entity transfers control of each product at a point in time
(means at delivery). After the entity has transferred control of 60 products to the customer, the contract is
modified to require the delivery of an additional 30 products (a total of 150 identical products) to the customer.
The additional 30 products were not included in the initial contract. The price of the additional 30 products is 95
per product.
Required:
Compute the amount to be recognized as Revenue assuming as if the price of additional products reflects the
stand-alone selling?
Solution: Additional products for a price that reflects the stand-alone selling price
When the contract is modified, the price of the contract modification for the additional 30 products is an
additional Rs.2, 850 or Rs.95 per product. The pricing for the additional products reflects the stand-alone selling
price of the products at the time of the contract modification and the additional products are distinct from the
original products.
The contract modification for the additional 30 products is, in effect, a new and separate contract for future
products that does not affect the accounting for the existing contract. The entity recognizes revenue of
Rs.100 per product for the 120 products in the original contract and Rs.95 per product for the 30 products in the
new contract.
Example 7:
Data Co enters into a 2 year data processing service contract with a customer for Rs. 200,000 (Rs. 100,000 per
year)
 At end of Year 1, the parties agree to extend the contract for another year for Rs. 80,000 per yearwhich is
also the stand alone selling price.
Required:
How should Data Co account for the contract extension?
Answer:
 Are the additional goods /services provided? - YES
 Does the price reflect the stand-alone selling price? - YES
Conclusion: Account for the additional service as a new separate contract.
Following revenue should be recorded in the relevant years.
Year 1 Rs. 100,000
Year 2 Rs. 100,000
Year 3 Rs. 80,000
Total Rs. 230,000
Example 8:
 On 1 September 2017 Anjum tyres enters into contract with Honda to sell 1,200 tyres for R. 12,000 (Rs. 10
per tyre).
 The tyres are to be supplied evenly over a 12 month period (100 tyres per month) at each month end
 On 1 November 2017, after 200 tyres have been delivered, the contract is modified to require the delivery
of an additional 50 tyres per month for Rs. 8 per tyre
 The stand-alone selling price of one tyre has declined to Rs. 8 per tyre.
Assuming year end of organization is December 31, calculate the revenue for 2017 and 2018.

659
Answer:
Are the additional goods/services provided? YES
Does the price reflect the stand-alone selling price? – YES
Anjum tyres Co accounts for the additional tyres as being sold under a new and separate contract:

Revenue 2017 2018 Total


Original contract 4,000 8,000
(4 months × 100 units × Rs. 10) (8 months × 100 units × Rs. 10) Rs. 12,000
Additional tyres 800 3,200
(2 months × 50 units × Rs. 8) (8 months × 50 units × Rs. 8) Rs. 4,000
Total Rs. 4,800 Rs. 11,200 Rs. 16,000
If contract modification is not treated as a separate contract [Para 21 of IFRS Part A1]
If contract modification is not treated as a separate contract because both the above conditions are not met;
then;
(a) If remaining goods or services are distinct from previous goods or services transferred; then an entity
shall account for the contract modification as if it were a termination of existing contract and creation of a
new contract.
Example: [Additional products for a price that does not reflect the stand alone selling price]
ABC Ltd promises to sell 120 products to a customer for Rs.12, 000 (Rs.100 per product). The products are
transferred to the customer over a six-month period. The entity transfers control of each product at a point in time
(means at delivery). After the entity has transferred control of 60 products to the customer, the contract is
modified to require the delivery of an additional 30 products (a total of 150 identical products) to the customer.
The additional 30 products were not included in the initial contract
During the process of negotiating the purchase of an additional 30 products, the parties agree on a price of Rs.80
per product.
In accounting for the sale of the additional 30 products, the entity determines that the negotiated price of Rs.80
per product does not reflect the stand-alone selling price of the additional products.
Consequently, the contract modification is not accounted for as a separate contract. The entity accounts for the
modification as a termination of the original contract and the creation of a new contract.
Consequently, the amount recognized as revenue for each of the remaining products is a blended price of Rs.93.33
{[(Rs.100 × 60 products not yet transferred under the original contract) + (Rs.80 × 30 products to be transferred
under the contract modification)] ÷ 90 remaining products}.
(b) If remaining goods or services are not distinct; then an entity shall account for the contract
modification as if it were part of the existing contract.
Example: A contract to construct a house for a customer, considered to be a single performance
obligation. At the inception the entity expects the following:
Transaction price: 1,000,000
Expected costs: 800,000
Expected profit: 200,000
By the end of the first year, the entity has satisfied 50 percent of its performance obligation on the basis of cost
incurred i.e 400,000. Therefore, the amounts recognized for the first year would be:
Revenue: 500,000
Costs: 400,000
Profit: 100,000

660
At the end of the first year, parties agree to change the floor plan of the house. As a result, the contract revenue
and the expected costs increase by 100,000 and 75,000 respectively. This 100,000 does not reflect standalone
price.
The entity concludes that the remaining goods and services to be provided under the modified contract are not
distinct (because no new asset)
Consequently, the entity accounts for the contract modification as if it were part of the original contract. How to
account for the revenue for the first year?
Solution:
The entity will update its measure of progress.400,000 / 875,000 x 1,100,000 = 502,857
The entity would recognize additional revenue of 2,857 (502,857 - 500,000) at the end of first year.
[B] Identifying the Performance Obligations: [Para 22 of IFRS Part A1]
At the inception of contract, an entity shall assess the goods or services promised in a contract with customer and
shall identify as a performance obligation each promise to transfer to the customer either:
(a) a good or service that is distinct; or
(b) A series of goods or services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to
customers (described by reference to promises satisfied over time)
Definition of distinct good or service:
A good or service is distinct if both the following criteria are met:
(a) Customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resourcesthat are
readily available to customer; and
(b) Entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other
promises in the contract.
If a good or service is regularly sold separately; this would indicate that customers generally can benefit from the
good or service on its own or in combination with other available resources.
If promised good or service is not distinct, an entity must combine that good or service with other promised good
or service with other promised goods or services until it identifies a bundle of goods or services that is distinct. In
some cases this would result in entity accounting for all goods or services as a single performance obligation.
Example 10:
Retailer Co sells a washing machine for Rs, 1,000. Retailer Co also provides the following free 'gifts':
 Free service and maintenance for 3 years
 1kg of washing powder every month for the next 18 months
 A discount voucher for a 50% discount if next purchase is made in the next 6 months.

Required: How many performance obligations are in the contract?


Solution:
There are 4 performance obligations as all, of the goods or services are distinct because the customer can benefit
from the good or service on its own and the entity's promise to transfer the good or service is separately
identifiable from other promises in the contract:
Following are the performance obligations:
 Washing machine
 Service and maintenance over the next 3 years means 36 months
 18kg washing powder over the next 18 months
 Discount voucher

Example 11:
A software house has agreed with Dawlance appliances that it will deliver a software and will also providesupport

661
service and software updates.
Analysis
There are 3 performance obligations as customer can benefit from each service independently and promises of
entity are separately identifiable. (i.e. 1) software; 2) support service; and 3) softwareupdates)
Example 12:
Mr. Y subscribes to a 12 months magazine subscription and receives a free watch. How many performance
obligations are in the contract?
Solution
There are two performance obligations
 12 months magazine subscription, and
 A watch
Revenue will be allocated to each of performance obligation based on their standalone selling price.
Example 13:
A property consultant agreed with Mr. Asif that "he will deliver a house to Mr. Asif within 1 year". If we godeep
down the contract we see that consultant is promising to:
 Create map
 Prepare foundation
 Construct walls
 Construct roof
 Paint the house
Analysis
Though customer can take benefit from each good or service on its own but promises are not separately
identifiable in the contract, so all of the above services are not distinct and the delivery of house will be
considered as single performance" obligation, (various inputs produce a combined output.)

Revenue recognition from sales of goods with after sale service agreement:
When the selling price of a product includes an identifiable amount for subsequent servicing, that amount is
deferred and recognised as revenue over the period during which the service is performed. The amount deferred
should be sufficient to cover both the cost of servicing and a reasonable profit.

Example: Servicing in selling price


X Plc sells a new system to a client and invoices Rs.800, 000.

This price includes after-sales support for the next 2 years with an estimated cost Rs. 35,000 each year.The normal
gross profit margin for such support is 17.5%. How should the revenue be recognised?

Analysis:
The Rs. 800,000 must be split between the amount received for the system and the amount received for providing
the service.
The amount for the system would be recognised in the usual way (on delivery or acceptance by the client).
The revenue for providing the service is deferred and recognised over the period of service.
he revenue for providing the service is calculated to cover the costs and provide a margin of 17.5%.

Rs.
Revenue deferred (after sales support)
2 years xRs.35,000/0.825 84,848
Revenue for sale of system 715,152
Total revenue 800,000
Examples of promised Goods and Services Include: [Para 26 of IFRS Part A1]

662
(a) Sale of goods produced by an entity (e.g., inventory of a manufacturer);
(b) Resale of goods purchased by an entity (e.g. trading stock);
(c) Performing agreed – upon tasks for a customer (e.g. customization of software);
(d) Providing agency services to principal (agent providing services).
(e) Constructing, manufacturing or developing an asset on behalf of a customer (house or building);
(f) Granting licences (Franchises) etc.
(g) Granting options to purchase additional goods/services like giving discount vouchers (will be discussed in
examples)
Satisfaction of Performance Obligations [Para 31 of IFRS Part A1]
An entity shall recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a good
or service (i.e. an asset) to a customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of the
asset.
A customer obtains control of an asset when it can direct the use of and obtain substantially all the remaining
benefits from it. Control included the ability to prevent other entities from directing the use of and obtaining the
benefits from an asset.
Performance Obligation Satisfied at a Point in Time
It means entity is transferring control at the time of satisfying the performance obligation as the goods are
transferred.
Indicators of Transfer of Control Includes: [Para 38 of IFRS Part A1]
(1) The entity has right to payment for asset (means right to receive is established)
(2) The customer has the legal title. (If however, entity retains the legal title solely as a protection against
customers failure to pay; still it means control has been transferred by entity to customer at the time of
delivery of asset). [Example is sale on instalment basis].
(3) The entity has transferred physical possession of asset. However, physical transfer may not always
concide with control of an asset. For example; in some repurchase agreements and in some consignment
arrangements (sale or return basis), a customer or consignee may have physical asset that the entity
controls. Conversely, in some bill – and – hold arrangements, an entity may have physical possession of
an asset that a customer controls.
(4) The customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of an asset. However when evaluating
the risks and rewards of ownership of a promised asset; an entity shall exclude any risks that give rise to a
separate performance obligation in addition to the performance obligation to transfer the asset [means when
evaluating the transfer of significant risks and rewards of asset; do not consider any additional performance
obligation not yet satisfied e.g. related to any maintenance services (if any)].
(5) The customer has accepted the asset;
Sale on approval basis:
If entity delivers products to a customer for trial or evaluation purposes and the customer is not committed to pay
any consideration until the trial period lapses, control of the product is not transferred to a customer until
either the customer accepts the product or the trial period lapses (whichever is earlier).
Measuring progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation [this discussion is applicable
when performance obligation is satisfied over time]. [Para 41 of IFRS Part A1]
An entity shall recognise revenue over time by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that
performance obligation.
When goods or services are transferred continuously, a revenue recognition method that best depicts the entity’s
performance should be applied.
Methods for measuring progress

663
There are two types of Methods:
(a) Output Methods; and
(b) Input Methods
Output Methods: [Para B15 of IFRS Part A1]
These methods recognise revenue on the basis of direct measurement of the value to customer of goods or services
transferred to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract. e.g.:
(a) Surveys of Performance completed to date;
(b) Units produced as a percentage of total units to be produced; or
(c) Units delivered as a percentage of total units to be delivered
(d) Contract milestone reached.
Input Methods: [Para B18 of IFRS Part A1]
These methods recognise revenue on the basis of the entity’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance
obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation. e.g.
(a) Resources consumed as a percentage of total resources to be used;
(b) Labour hours used as a percentage of total labour hours to be used;
(c) Machine hours used as a percentage of total machine hours to be used;
(d) Cost incurred as a percentage of total cost to be incurred.
Example: Providing a service
X Plc is engaged on a contract to develop new computer software for a customer. The contract has not been
completed by the reporting date (31 December 2015). X Plc is reasonably certain of its progress towards complete
satisfaction of performance obligation.
The total revenue from the contract will be Rs. 700,000 and total costs are expected to be Rs. 400,000. Costs of
Rs. 150,000 have been incurred to date.
X plc measure percentage completion by comparing costs incurred to date against total expected costs. What
revenue should be recognised for the year ended 31 December 2015?
Analysis:

Revenue in the current period should be recognised at Rs. 262,500 (Rs.700, 000 x 150,000/400,000)
Costs of Rs. 150,000 should also be recognised as cost of sales.
Measurement:
When a performance obligation is satisfied (rather than right to receive is established); an entity shall recognise as
revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to that performance obligation.
Determining the Transaction Price: [Para 47 of IFRS Part A1]
Transaction price can be a fixed consideration, variable consideration or consideration other than cash (e.g. shares
or any other fixed asset)
The transaction price is not adjusted for the effects of customer’s credit risk, but is adjusted if the entity has
created a valid expectation that it will enforce its rights for only a portion of the contract price (means bad debts
are not adjusted; however, transaction price should be adjusted for the effect of any trade discount)
Factors to be considered while determining transaction price: [Para 48 of IFRS Part A1]
When determining the transaction price, an entity shall consider the effects of all of the followings:
(a) Variable consideration;
(b) Constraining estimates of Variable consideration;

664
(c) Existence of significant financing components;
(d) Non-Cash consideration; and
(e) Consideration payable to customers.
Variable Consideration:
Amount of consideration can vary because of discounts, refunds, incentives etc.
Methods of estimating the variable consideration: [Para 53 of IFRS Part A1]
An entity shall estimate an amount of variable consideration by using either of the following methods:
(a) Expected value method.
(b) Most likely method.

Example:
Tayyab Co. enters into a contract to build an oil rig for Rs. 100,000
If the oil rig is not completed on time there will be a Rs. 20,000 penalty
Tayyab Co. has built similar oil rigs before and there is 90% chance that the oil rig will be completed ontime
What is the transaction price?

Answer
Two possible outcomes:
Rs. 100,000 if completed on time Rs. 80,000 if not completed on time
The “most likely amount” method better predicts the amount of consideration
Therefore, transaction price is Rs. 100,000 as there is 90% chance that the oil rig will be completed on time.

Existence of Significant Financing Component:


In determining the transaction price, an entity shall adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of
time value of money if the timing of payments agreed to by the parties to the contract provides the customer or
entity with a significant benefit of financing.
Example:
An entity received an advance of 150,000 on 01.01.2015 against goods to be delivered on 31.12.2016. Interest
rate is 6% per annum.
Solution:
Recognize a contract liability for 150,000 payments at the contract inception.

Cash 150,000
Advance from customers 150,000
During two years from the contract inception until the transfer of product, recognise the interest expense on
150,000 at 6 percent for two years.
Interest expense 9,000
Advance from customers 9,000 (150,000 x 6% = 9,000)
Interest expense 9,540
Advance from customers 9,540(159,000 x 6% = 9,540
Recognize revenue on the transfer of goods
Advance from customers 168,540
Revenue 168,540

665
Non-Cash consideration: [Para 66 of IFRS Part A1]
To determine the transaction price for the contracts in which a customer promises consideration in a form other
than cash, an entity shall measure the non-cash consideration at fair value which is at the time of earning of
revenue.(Non-cash considerations includes shares, vehicles, machine etc).
Example 15:
An Entity A decides to take a contract to perform consulting service that would normally be valued at Rs. 50,000.
Entity A determines that the service is a single performance obligation. Entity A agrees to receive 1,000 shares of
customer (Company B). Both accept the contract on Jan. 1, 2014, when shares are valued at Rs. 50 a share. On
Feb. 1, 2014, Entity A completes the services, when shares are valued at Rs. 52 a share.
Answer
We-will record the revenue of Rs. 52,000 (52 x 1,000).
Consideration Payable to a Customer [Para 70-72 of IFRS Part A1]
Consideration payable to a customer includes cash amounts that an entity paid or expected to pay to a customer.
 An entity shall account for consideration payable to a customer as a reduction of the transaction price
(means deduct from revenue).
 If however, payment to a customer is in exchange for goods or services that are transferred by
customer to entity then simply record the purchase of those goods or services (separately)
Example 16:
JJ enters into a contract with Metro cash n carry.
Metro Commits to buy at least Rs, 20m of items over the next 12 months. The terms of the contract require JJ to
make a payment of Rs. 1 m to compensate the Metro for changes that it will need to make to its retail stores to
accommodate the products.
How much revenue should be recognised by JJ?
Answer:
The Rs. 1 m paid to the Metro is a reduction of the transaction price and a revenue of Rs. 19m will be recorded on
satisfaction of performance obligation. (Means over the 12 months)
Example: Golden gates entered into a contract with a chain of retail stores. The customer commits to buyproducts
of 20,000,000 over the next 12 months. The terms of the contract requires Golden gates to make a payment of
1,000,000 to compensate the customer for change that it will need to make to its retail stores to accommodate the
products.
By 31.12.2001, Golden gates has transferred products with a sale value of 4,000,000 to the customer. How much
revenue should be recorded by golden gates in the year ended 31.12.2001.
Solution: The payment made to the customer is not in exchange for a distinct good or service that is transferred to
the entity. Therefore 1,000,000 paid to the customer is a reduction of transaction price. The total transaction price
is reduced by 5% (1,000,000/20,000,000 x 100). Therefore, Golden gates reduces the transaction price of each
good by 5% as it is transferred.
By 31.12.2001, Golden gates should have recognized a revenue of 3,800,000 (4,000,000 x 95%) Or [20,000,000 –
1,000,000] = 19,000,000 x 4M/20M = 3,800,000

Allocating transaction Price to performance obligations [Para 73-75 of IFRS Part A1]
(This problem will arise if more than one performance obligation in a contract)
An entity shall allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract on a relative
standalone selling prices.
Stand-alone Price; means a price at which an entity would sell a promised good or service separately to a
customer.
Example 17:

666
Entity enters into a contract for sale of new car and a 3 year service contract for Rs. 26,000. The
standalone selling price of car is Rs. 24,000 and that of services is Rs. 3,000.
Performance
Standalone price Allocated transaction price Revenue
obligations
23,111
Car 24,000 23,111
(24,000/27,000 × 26,000)
2,889
Service Contract 3,000 963/ year
(3,000/27,000 × 26,000)
27,000 26,000
Example 18:
A retailer sells a customer a computer-and-printer package for Rs. 900. The retailer has determined that there are
two separate performance obligations and regularly sells the printer for Rs. 300 and the computer for Rs. 700.
Required:
Allocate the price to separate performance obligations.
Solution:
There are two performance obligations in the given transaction.
Performance obligations Standalone price Allocated transaction price
Printer 300 270 (300/1,000 × 900)
Computer 700 630 (700/1,000 × 900)
1,000 900
In this transaction, there is an inherent discount of Rs. 100 which does not relate to specific performance
obligation and is therefore reallocated to all performance obligations on a relative stand-alone selling price basis.
Methods of estimating the stand alone price if it is not available: [Para 79 of IFRS Part A1]
If stand-alone selling price is not available (may be because entity do not sell the goods or services separately)
then estimate it by using any of the following method:
(a) Adjusted Market Assessment Approach: means price at which same goods or services are sold
separately by other competitors (suppliers) in the market.
(b) Expected Cost plus Approach: Estimate the cost and then add appropriate profit.
(c) Residual Approach: An entity may estimate the stand-alone selling price by reference to the total
transaction price less the sum of the observable standalone selling prices of other goods or services
promised in the contract.
Example 19 (Marketing assessment approach)
A manufacturer produced and sold to customer a table and a computer for Rs. 13,000. The standalone price of
table is Rs. 5,000 and standalone price of .our computer is not available. In most recent customer surveys our
computer has been given a rating of 3 out of 5 points as against 4 out of 5 points to competitor’s computer. The
standalone selling price of competitor computer is Rs. 12,000.
Analysis
There are two performance obligations in the given transaction.
Performance obligations Standalone price Allocated transaction price
Table 5,000 4,643 (5,000/14,000 × 13,000)
Computer 9,000* 8,357 (9,000/14,000 × 13,000)
14,000 13,000

x × 4/5 = 12,000
or
12,000/4 × 5 = 15,000 (price of that computer which has a rating of 5 out of 5, so our computer
has aprice of 15,000 × 3/5 = 9,000)

667
Example (Expected Cost plus Approach): Sohail sells a machine and one year free technical support for
100,000. It usually sells the machine for 95,000 but does not sell technical support for this machine as a
standalone product. Other support services offered by the Sohail attract mark up of 50%. It is expected that the
technical support would cost 20,000.
How much of the transaction price should be allocated to the machine and to the technical support?
Solution:
The selling price of the machine is 95,000 based on observable prices. There is no observable selling price of the
technical support. Therefore, the stand alone selling price needs to be estimated. One approach of doing this is the
expected cost plus margin approach. Based on this, the selling price of the service would be 30,000 (20,000 x
150%).
The total standalone selling prices of the machine and support are 125,000 (95,000 + 30,000). However, total
consideration receivable is only 100,000. This means customer is receiving a discount of 25,000.
IFRS 15 says that the entity must consider that whether the discount relates to the whole bundle or to a particular
performance obligation. In the absence of the information, it is assumed that it relates to the whole bundle.
The transaction price will be allocated as follows:
Performance obligation Standalone price Allocation of transaction price
Machine 95,000 76,000 (95,000/125,000x100,000)
Services 30,000 24,000 (30,000/125,000x 100,000)
Total 125,000 100,000
The revenue will be recognized when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Example 20 (Residual approach)
A manufacturer produced and sold a customer a computer, printer and a scanner package for Rs. 1,250. He has
determined that these are three separate performance obligations and regularly sells the printer for Rs. 300; the
computer for Rs. 700. This is the first time: manufacturer is going to sell scanner, hence there is no sale price
identified for scanner as stand-alone price.
Required:
Allocate the price to separate performance obligations.
Solution:
There are three performance obligations in the given transaction.
Performance obligation Transaction Price
Printer 300
Computer 700
Scanner (Balancing) 250
1,250
OTHER ASPECTS OF IFRS 15
Contract costs
Costs might be incurred in obtaining a contract and in fulfilling that contract.
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract [Para 91-94 of IFRS Part A1]
The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that would not have been incurred if the contract
had not been obtained (or that are incurred as a direct consequence of obtaining the contract)
The incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer are recognised as an asset if the entity expects
to recover those costs.
Costs to obtain a contract that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained are
expensed as incurred (unless they can be recovered from the customer regardless of whether the contract is
obtained).

668
Example: Incremental costs of obtaining a contract
X Limited wins a competitive bid to provide consulting services to a customer.
new
X Limited incurred the following costs to obtain the contract:
Commissions to sales employees for winning the contract 10,000
External legal fees for due diligence 15,000
(consultancy services of bid preparation)
25,000
Travel costs to deliver proposal
Total costs incurred 50,000

Analysis
The commission to sales employees is incremental to obtaining the contract and should be capitalised as a
contract asset.
The external legal fees and the travelling cost are not incremental to obtaining the contract because they have been
incurred regardless of whether X Plc obtained the contract or not.
An entity may recognise the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the
amortisation period of the asset is one year or less.
Example 23: Incremental costs of obtaining a contract when contract life is up to 1 year
A salesperson earns a 5% commission on winning a contract that was signed during January 20X1. The products
will be delivered in the current year only. How should the entity account for the commission paid to its employee?
Analysis
The commission will be expensed as incurred since the commission relates to a contract that is upto 1 year.
Costs to fulfil a contract [Para 95 of IFRS Part A1]
Costs incurred in fulfilling a contract might be within the scope of another standard (for example, IAS 2:
Inventories, IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment or IAS 38: Intangible Assets). If this is not the case, the costs
are recognised as an asset only if they meet all of the following criteria:
1. The costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the entity can specificallyidentify;
2. The costs generate or enhance resources of the entity that will be used in satisfying performance
obligations in the future; and
3. The costs are expected to be recovered.

Costs that relate directly to contract might include: [Para 97 of IFRS Part A1]
 Direct labour and direct materials;
 Allocations of costs that relate directly to the contract or to contract activities (e.g accountant salary);
 Costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer under the contract (e.g. Designing cost of
architect); and
 Other costs that are incurred only because an entity entered into the contract (e.g. Payments to
subcontractors).
The following costs must be recognised as expenses when incurred: [Para 98 of IFRS Part A1]
 General and administrative costs (unless those costs are explicitly chargeable to the customer under the
contract);
 Costs of wasted materials, labour or other resources to fulfil the contract that were not reflected in theprice of
the contract;
 Costs that relate to satisfied performance obligations (or partially satisfied performance obligations) in the
contract (i.e. costs that relate to past performance).
Example 24:
Momin Limited, a construction company entered into a contract with Ahmed Limited to build a building for
Ahmed's new branch office.

669
Momin agrees to complete the project-in 8 months' period. Project Manager has provided following dataof cost:
 Material cost Rs. 400,000. (out of this Rs. 80,000 was destroyed in flood)
 Labour cost Rs. 640,000. (out of this Rs, 40,000 was paid when labour was on strike)
 other land preparation costs will cost Rs. 265,000
 Rs. 120,000 will be paid to govt. to get the building design approved
 Annual depreciation of machine is Rs. 120,000. It is used 2 months in project.
 General and admin costs amount to Rs. 10,000.
Required:
Calculate Momin's cost of fulfilling the contract.

Solution:
Cost of fulfilling the contract Rs.
Material (400,000 – 80,000) 320,000
Labour (640,000 – 40,000) 600,000
Land preparation 265,000
Govt. charges 120,000
Allocated depreciation (120,000/12 × 2) 20,000
Total 1,700,000
Amortisation: [Para 99 of IFRS Part A1]
An asset for contract costs must be amortised on a systematic basis consistent with the transfer to the customer
of the goods or services to which the asset relates.
The amortisation method must be updated to reflect a significant change in the entity’s expected timing of transfer
to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates.
Impairment loss (related to contract in progress): [Para 101 of IFRS Part A1]
An impairment loss must be recognised in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of an asset
recognised exceeds:
1. The remaining amount of consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services to
which the asset relates (means total remaining amount receivable under the contract); less
2. The costs that relate directly to providing those goods or services and that have not been recognised as
expenses (total remaining cost to be incurred under the contract).
Example 26:
Carrying value of a contract cost (which is yet not expensed out) as at December 31, 2015 is Rs. 10,000.
Future recovery expected from customer is Rs. 12,000 and remaining costs to fulfil contract are Rs.3,000.
Book value 10,000
Less: Recoverable amount (12,000 – 3,000) (9,000)
Impairment loss 1,000
Reversal of impairment loss: [Para 103 of IFRS Part A1]
When the impairment conditions no longer exist or have improved a reversal of the impairment loss is recognised.
This will reinstate the asset but the increased carrying amount of the asset must not exceed the amount that would
have been determined (net of Amortisation) if no impairment loss had been recognised previously.
Example: amortization of contract costs
X limited wins a 5-year contract to provide a service to a customer.
The contract contains a single performance obligation satisfied over time. X limited recognizes revenueon time
basis. Cost incurred by the end of year 1 and forecast future costs are as follows:
Costs to date 10,000
Estimate of future costs 18,000

670
Total expected costs 28,000
Analysis
Costs must be recognised in the P&L on the same basis as that used to recognise revenue.
X Limited recognizes revenue on a time basis, therefore 1/5 of the total expected cost should be
recognised = Rs. 5,600 per annum (remaining 4,400 [10,000 – 5,600]
Example: Amortisation of contract costs
X Limited wins a 5- y e a r contract to provide a service to a customer. The contract is renewable for
subsequent one-year periods.
The average customer term is seven years.
The contract contains a single performance obligation satisfied over time. X Limited recognizes revenue on a
time basis.
Costs incurred by the end of year 1 and forecast future costs are as follows:
Costs to date 10,000
Estimate of future costs 18,000
Total expected costs 28,000
Analysis
Costs must be recognised in the P&L on the same basis as that used to recognise revenue.
X Limited recognizes revenue on a time basis. The asset relates to the services transferred to the customer during
the contract term of five years and X Limited anticipates that the contract will be renewed for two subsequent one-
year periods (7 - 5).
Therefore 1/7 of the total expected cost should be recognised = Rs. 4,000 per annum.

Example: Amortisation of contract costs


X Limited wins a contract to build an asset for a customer. It is anticipated that the asset will take 2 years to
complete
The contract contains a single performance obligation. Progress to completion is measured on an outputbasis.
At the end of year 1 the assets is 60% complete (e.g. because of survey) Costs incurred by the end of year 1 and
forecast future costs are as follows:
Costs to date 18,000
Estimate of future costs 10,000
Total expected costs 28,000
Costs must be recognised in the P&L on the same basis as that used to recognise revenue.
Therefore 60% of the total expected cost should be recognised (28,000 x 60% = 16,800) at the end of year 1.
Presentation
This section explains how contracts are presented in the statement of financial position. In order to do
this, it explains the double entries that might result from the recognition of revenue. The double entries
dependon circumstances.
An unconditional right to consideration is presented as a receivable.
Example:
X Limited enters into a contract to transfer Products A and B to Y Limited in exchange for Rs. 1,000.
Product A is to be delivered on 28 February.
Product B is to be delivered on 31 March.
The promises to transfer Products A and B are identified as separate performance obligations. Rs.400 is
allocated to Product A and Rs.600 to Product B.
X Limited recognizes revenue and recognizes its unconditional right to the consideration when control of
each product transfers to Y Limited (control is normally transferred when the goods are delivered).

Contract assets
A supplier might transfer goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before
payment is due.
A contract asset is a supplier’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that it has transferred to a
customer [in other words, an amount for which an entity has recognized the revenue because performance
obligation is satisfied but for which right to receive is not yet unconditional]
A contract asset is reclassified as a receivable when the supplier’s right to consideration becomes
unconditional.
Example: Double entry – Recognition of a contract asset 1 January 20X8
X Limited enters into a contract to transfer Products A and B to Y Limited in exchange for Rs. 1,000. Product A is
to be delivered on 28 February.
Product B is to be delivered on 31 March.
The promises to transfer Products A and B are identified as separate performance obligations. Rs.400 isallocated
to Product A and Rs.600 to Product B (based on relative standalone prices)
Revenue is recognised when control of each product transfers to Y Plc.
Payment for the delivery of Product A is conditional on the delivery of Product B. (i.e. the consideration of Rs.
1,000 is due only after X Limited has transferred both Products A and B to Y Limited). This means that X
Limited does not have a right to consideration that is unconditional (a receivable) until both Products A and B are
transferred to Y Limited.
Solution:
Contract progress
The following accounting entries would be necessary:
28 February: X Limited transfers Product A to Y Limited
X Plc does not have an unconditional right to receive the Rs.400 so the amount is recognised as a contract asset.
At 28 February

Contract asset 400


Revenue 400
31 March: X Limited transfers Product B to Y Limited
X Limited now has an unconditional right to receive the full Rs. 1,000. The Rs.400 previously recognised as a
contract asset is reclassified as a receivable and the Rs.600 for the transfer of product B is also recognised as
receivable.
31 March Dr (Rs.) Cr (Rs.)
Receivable / Cash 1,000
Contract asset 400
Revenue 600

672
Contract liabilities (advance from customers)
A contract might require payment in advance or allow the supplier a right to an amount of consideration that is
unconditional (i.e. a receivable), before it transfers a good or service to the customer.
In these cases, the supplier presents the contract as a contract liability when the payment is made or the payment
is due (whichever is earlier).
The contract liability is a supplier’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which it has received
consideration from the customer.

Example:
1 January 20X8
X Limited enters into a contract to transfer Products A and B to Y Limited in exchange for Rs. 1,000. X Limited
can invoice this full amount on 31 January.

Product A is to be delivered on 28 February.Product B is to be delivered on 31 March.


The promises to transfer Products A and B are identified as separate performance obligations. Rs.400 isallocated
to Product A and Rs.600 to Product B.
Revenue is recognised when control of each product transfers to Y Limited. The following entries would be
required to reflect the progress of the contract
Solution:

Other Aspects of IFRS 15
Consignment Arrangements [sale or return basis] [Para B77 of IFRS Part A1]
When an entity delivers a product to another party (such as a dealer or a distributor) for sale to end customers, the
entity shall evaluate whether that other party has obtained control of the product at that point in time. In
consignment sales, an entity shall not recognise revenue upon delivery of a product because control is not
normally transferred at that date.
In such a situation, revenue is recognised by the entity when the goods are sold by dealer to customer, or time
period of return is expired (if any) whichever is earlier [Para B78 (a)]
Bill & Hold Arrangements: [Para 81 of IFRS Part A1]
It means a contract under which an entity bills a customer for a product but the entity retains the physical
possession of the product until it is transferred to a customer at a point in time in future.
For example; a customer may request an entity to enter into such a contract because of a customer’s lack of
available space for the product or because of delays in the customer’s production schedules.
In such cases, customer is considered to have obtained the control of a product, even though product remains in
the entity’s physical possession. Consequently, entity is only providing custodial services over the customer’s
asset. If entity is charging some fee for custodial services, then transaction price needs be allocated to two
performance obligations; i.e.

673
(a) Control of goods; and
(b) Custodial services.
Revenue from goods is recognised when control of goods is transferred. Revenue from custodial services is
recognised as the services are rendered.
Example:
Clearance entered into following sale transaction during the year:
On 31.12.2001, clearance sells the machine plus spare parts to Ehsan for 500,000. The value of the machine was
480,000, with the value of the spare parts being 20,000. Clarence delivered the machines on 31 December, but
was asked to hold the spare parts by Ehsan, due to Clarence‘s warehouse being in close proximity to Ehsan’s
factory. Clarence expects to hold spare parts for 2-4 years. The parts are kept separately in a warehouse, cannot be
used or sold by the Clarence, and are ready for immediate shipment at Ehsan’s request. Clarence agreed to the
transaction as holding costs would be insignificant.
Discuss how the above transactions should be accounted for.
Solution:
This is a bill and hold arrangement. Even though Clarence retains physical possession of goods, Ehsan retains
control. This can be seen in the fact that Clarence cannot use or sell the goods, and must ship them upon the
Ehsan’s request.
In the above arrangement, there are probably three performance obligations. These will be the promise to provide
the machine, the spare parts and the custodial services over holding the spare parts.
The performance obligation over promising to provide the machine and spare parts appear to be met on
31.12.2001, so the full 500,000 revenue should be recorded. If the custodial service of holding the spare parts is
deemed to be part of the transaction price, this would be split out and recognized over the expected period of
holding the spare parts.

Extra Practice Question
Question 1
On 1 October 2017, Galaxy Telecommunications (GT) entered into a contract with a bank for supplying 20
smart phones to the bank staff with unlimited use of mobile network for one year. The contract price per
smart phone is Rs. 34,650 and the price is payable in full within 10 days from the dateof contract. At the end
of the contract, the phones will not be returned to GT.
The entire amount received as per contract was credited by GT to advance from customers account. Thesmart
phones were delivered on 1 November 2017.
If sold separately, GT charges Rs. 18,000 for a smart phone and a monthly fee of Rs. 1,800 for unlimiteduse

Question 4
BRILLIANT LIMITED
Brilliant Limited (BL) manufactures and sells plastic card printing machines with laminators. A machine-
specific card printing software is provided as a must part of the printing machine. BL also sells plastic
cards imported from Thailand.

677
BL agreed to supply the following to, Proud Learners (PL), a country-wide school network:
 15 Card printing machines – Available in ready stock
 8 Laminators – Would require 30 days to deliver
 100,000 Plastic cards – Available in ready stock
A lump sum price of Rs.9.2 million for the total contract has been agreed between BL and school network.
Cost and list prices of the goods are:
Item List Price (Rs.) Cost (Rs.)
Card printing machines 800,000 400,000
Laminators (combined) 200,000
Plastic cards 12 5
BL does not sell printing machine without laminator. However, in order to get this order x`BL went
against its policy. There is another supplier of imported card printing machine of almost similar
specification. This supplier sells the machine at Rs. 750,000.
In most recent customers’ surveys printing machine of BL has been given 7 out of 10 points as against 9
outof 10 given to competitors’ imported machine. There is no supplier of laminator in the market.
Required
Identify performance obligations and allocate the transaction price to the identified performance obligations.
A. 4 BRILLIANT LIMITED
Identification of performance obligations there are three performance obligations:
1. Transfer of 15 Plastic card printing machines and its software
2. Transfer of 8 Laminators
3. Transfer of 100,000 plastic cards
Although the software is distinct from printing machine, but both are highly dependable to each other
and inter-related. In the context of this contract, these are providing a combined output to PL.
Therefore, software is not a separate performance obligation.
The total transaction price as per the contract is Rs.9.2 million.
On the basis of available information, the stand-alone prices of each item will be estimated using the
following approaches:
1) Plastic card printing machines and its software:
In the absence of observable stand-alone price, we may use ‘adjusted market assessment’ approach.
The competitor’s machine is sold at Rs. 750,000 which is similar (not identical) to BL’s machine. As
per given information, we may use customers’ rating for adjustment of competitors’ price that worked
out as follows:
Rupees
Competitors’ price 750,000
Adjusted price of BL machine (7/9*750,000) 583,333
(750,000/9 x 10 =8,33000 x 7/10)
Total price (15*583,000) 8,745,000
2) Laminators:
There is neither observable stand-alone price nor any comparable competitors’ product available in
the market in which BL operates. In this case, we may use ‘expected cost plus a margin approach’.
The estimated stand-alone priceis worked out as follows:
Rupees
Expected cost to BL 200,000
Margin estimated (800,000 - 600,000)/800,000 = 25% (400 + 200) 66,667 (200/75 x 25)
266,667
Total price (8 x 266,667) 2,133,336
3)Plastic cards:
Observable stand-alone price is available Total price(100,000*12)
1,200,000

678
Total of stand-alone prices is:
8,745,000
Plastic card printing machines and its software
Laminators 2,133,336
Plastic cards 1,200,000
Total 12,078,336
Allocation of Rs.9.2 million (transaction price) will be based on relative stand-alone prices, as the
difference of Rs.2.873 million between stand-alone price and transaction price is not specific to any
performance obligation, so no additional problem.
Std. Alone Price Transaction price
Plastic card printing machines and its software 8,745,000 6,661,017
Laminators 2,133,336 1,624,950
Plastic cards 1,200,000 914,033
Total 12,078,336 9,200,000

FURTHER PRACTICE QUESTIONS
Question 1PARVEZ UNITED
The following transactions took place at Parvez Limited (PL).
(1) On 5 March 2017 PL sold goods to a bank for Rs.18m cash and agreed to repurchase the goods for
Rs.19m cash on 5 July 2017. The goods will be shifted to a storage facility under bank's control and
security.
(2) On 31 March PL's car manufacturing division consigned several vehicles to independent dealers for sale
to third parties. The sales price to the dealer is PL's list price at the date of sale to third parties. If a vehicle
is unsold after six months, the dealer has a right to return the vehicle to PL within next fifteen days.
Required
Discuss how the above transactions should be accounted for in the books of accounts of Parvez Limited.

Question 2 SACHAL LIMITED


(a) Sells standard computer software package meant for small and medium sized restaurant management.
This software package is sold:
 at price of Rs.1. 5 million payables before delivery,
 with thirty days’ trial time, and
 without any maintenance support after trial time
As per practice, it takes around six months for the customers to use the package independent of any
support from SL. Practically, SL has to provide on-site support service for at least six months to almost all
customers free-of-cost. However, in case of customer's request for support beyond six months, SL provides
services under a formal paid service contract.
(b) Provides maintenance and support for the above standard software package at a price of Rs.0.3 million per
annum.
(c) Provides designing and development of customized software to customers. Payment is made monthly by
customers on the basis of chargeable hours of developers of SL. First year maintenance service is provided
free-of-cost. Subsequent maintenance service is provided at the rate of 10% of the total contract price.
Thereafter, for next three years’ maintenance service is provided at 5% of the contract price per annum.
Required Explain the considerations to be taken into account in determining accounting for revenue by
Sachal Limited.

Required: State how revenue should be recognised in the above cases.

682
“ALLAH makes the impossible, Possible”

ANSWERS
1 PARVEZ LIMTED
(1) Sale and repurchase agreement
The economic phenomenon of the transaction is that of a loan for which the goods have
been given assecurity. Therefore no contract of sale of goods or services is identified.
The difference between the sale price of Rs.18m and the repurchase price of Rs.19m
represents theinterest on the loan for a period of four months.
To account for the transaction in accordance with its substance:
 The goods should remain in inventories at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
 No sale should be recorded.
 The amount once received from bank should be treated as a current loan liability of
Rs.18m.
 Interest should be charged applying interest rate to income statement for each
reporting period.(means on time basis) [19 – 18]
(2) Consignment inventories
There is a contract for sale of cars between Pervez Limited (PL) and dealer containing
confirmation of respective rights and obligations, payment terms, commercial substance
and probability of collection of price.
There is only one performance obligation, namely, the transfer of cars to the dealer.
As per contract, the transaction price, would be list price on the date of sale during the
six month period. Thereafter, though not specifically mentioned, after the lapse of fifteen
days the list price applicable on sixteenth day would be the transaction price of the
unsold cars not returned.
Since there is only one performance obligation, the question of allocation of transaction
price does not arise.
PL will recognize revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligation. Performance
obligation would be satisfied once the dealer has sold any cars to third parties during the
six month period. Thereafter, if the dealer does not return the unsold cars within fifteen
days, the performance obligation would be considered as satisfied on sixteenth day.
On 31 March 2017 the vehicles should remain in inventories in PL books of accounts.
(until sold by dealer).
2.
General considerations, for revenue recognition
International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS 15) provides that the revenue is recognized:
(i) When the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good or service (i.e.
an asset) to thecustomer; and
(ii) The asset is transferred when the customer obtains the control of that asset.
Based on this principle, the following is the considerations to be taken into account in determining
accounting forrevenue.
(a) Restaurant management software:
Identification of contract:
There exists a contract for sale restaurant management software between SL and customers
containing confirmation of respective obligations and rights, payment terms, commercial
substance and price is collected inadvance.

683
Identify performance obligation
There are two performance obligations, namely:
 Explicit: delivery of software and
 Implicit: six month on-site support
Determine the transaction price
As per contract, the transaction price is Rs. 1.5 million for both performance obligations. Allocate
the transaction price
Transaction price is 1.5 million and standalone selling price of on-site support service is Rs.0.15
million (from
(b) part 0.3 x 6/12). Therefore based on residual approach the software will be priced at Rs. 1.35
(bal) million.Recognition of revenue on satisfaction of performance obligations
PL will recognize revenue from sale of software upon delivery if SL can conclude that the software
meets the requirements of the customer. The agreed 30 days trial time will be considered as a
formality of the contract. (as there is no information of any return)
PL will recognize revenue from on-site support service over six month’s period on straight-line
basis.
(b) Maintenance support/or the standard software package
Identification of contract
Such service is provided under a written contract that contains confirmation of respective
obligations and rights, payment terms, commercial substance. SL will assess the collectability of the
price if not received in advance.
Identify performance obligation
The performance obligation is to provide maintenance and support services.

Determine the transaction price


The price of the service is Rs. 0.3 million for one-year term
.Allocate the transaction price
Since there is only one performance obligation, the question of allocation of transaction price does
not arise.
Recognition of revenue on satisfaction of performance obligations
PL will recognize revenue over one year period on straight-line basis, as in this case input method
isappropriate. The pattern of resources consumed by SL is evenly spread over the period of
contract.
(c) Customized software
Identification of contract
Such service is provided under a 'written contract that contains confirmation of respective
obligations and rights, payment terms, commercial substance. SL will assess the collect ability of
the price.
Identify, performance obligation The performance obligations are:
 Designing and development of customized software, and
 Maintenance and support services of the said software

Determine the transaction price

684
The total price of the software and maintenance service will be determined on the basis of terms of
contract.
Allocate the transaction price
1st year
The price will be allocated between the two performance obligations. Price of maintenance services
for the first year is included in the total contract price (free of cost). The allocated price of the first
year would be 10% of the contract price, which is the stand-alone price of the said services for the
second year.
[We have not taken the stand alone price of service from (b) point because it was not for
standardize software].The price of design and development will be 90% of the contract price [100 -
10 (first year)].
2nd year
For second year maintenance service revenue would be recorded at 10% of the contract price.
3rd, 4th and 5th year
For 3rd, 4th and 5th year the maintenance and support services will be priced at 5% of the contract
price.Recognition of revenue on satisfaction of performance obligations
Revenue from design and development
Revenue from design and development should be recognized overtime. As the amount is charged
from the customers on hourly basis, therefore revenue should be recognized at the end of each
month on the basis of number of hours worked by developers of SL.
Revenue from Maintenance and support services – PL will recognize revenue over five year’s
period on straight-line basis, as in this case, input method is appropriate. The pattern of resources
consumed by SL is evenly spread over the period of contract.

4.
Part (i)
Revenue from lay away sales is recognised when the goods are delivered against full payment.
However, if the SE’s historical experience (i.e. one of its frequent customers) shows that most lay
away transactions are converted into sales, then it can recognise revenue when it receives a

685
significant deposit, provided that the goods are on hand, identified and ready for delivery. Since the
customer has paid significant part of instalments (3 out of 5 instalments), the five industrial machines
are on hand, identifiable and ready for delivery, the revenue is recognized in full.
Part (ii)
Even though non-refundable annual fee amounting to Rs.45, 000 in advance relates to the
maintenance service of machinery that the SE is required to undertake to fulfil the contract, the
advance payment does not result in the transfer of a promised maintenance service to the customer.
Instead, it is an administrative task. Therefore, the non- refundable annual fee is an advance payment
for performance obligations to be satisfied in the future and isrecognised as revenue when those future
maintenance services are provided.

5.
(i) The completion of the sale transaction is uncertain because it is contingent upon purchaser
(YE) securing the contract with another company (AMZ & Company). Therefore, KIL should
not recognize any revenue since YE has not obtained the control of machine.
(ii) Revenue should be recognized when the food factory is delivered to the customer. Until then
no revenue should be recognized and the 25% deposit should be treated as a contract
liability.
(iii) If the outcome of a service transaction cannot be estimated reliably, revenue should only
be recognized to the extent that expenses incurred are recoverable from the customer. Thus
revenue to the extent of Rs. 12 million may be recognized in the first year.

686
Example: PERFORMANCE OBLIGATION
Question:
(i) ECL has entered into a contract with Kashif Builders for construction of a residential project,
including supply of construction material, architectural services, engineering and site clearance.
ECL and its competitors provide such services separately also.
(ii) eSolutions Limited, a software developer, entered into a two-year contract with a customer to
provide software license including future software updates and post implementation support
services. The software license would remain functional even if the updates and post
implementation support services are discontinued.
Required:
(a) Define the term ‘performance obligation’ and state the criteria which should be met if goods
or services promised to a customer are to be considered as distinct.
(b) In view of the requirements of IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’, discuss
whether goods and
services provided in each of the above contracts represent a single performance obligation.

Answer:
Part (a)
Performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer to the customer either:
 a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or
 A series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same
pattern of transfer to the customer.
A good or service is distinct if both of the following criteria are met:
 the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other
resources that are readily available to the customer; and
 the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service is separately identifiable from other
promises in the contract Part (b)
(i) The different services being performed under the contract are separately identifiable
but the customer cannot benefit from services separately from the other. Based on this, ECL
should account for services in the contract as a single performance obligation.
(ii) Transfer of software license, software updates and support services are distinct. However, the
software license is delivered before the other services and remains functional without updates
and technical support. Further, the customer can benefit from each of the services either on
their own or together with other services that are readily available. Thus, the entity’s promise
to transfer the good or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
Based on the above, the contract should not be accounted for as a single performance
obligation.
Existence of a significant financing component in the contract
In determining the transaction price, an entity shall adjust the promised amount of consideration for
the effects of the time value of money if the timing of payments agreed to by the parties to the
contract (either explicitly or implicitly) provides the customer or the entity with a significant benefit
of financing the transfer of goods or services to the customer.
The objective when adjusting the promised amount of consideration for a significant financing
component is for an entity to recognise revenue at an amount that reflects the price that a customer
would have paid for the promised goods or services if the customer had paid cash for those goods or
services when (or as) they transfer to the customer (i.e. the cash selling price).

687
An entity shall consider all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether a contract contains a
financing component and whether that financing component is significant to the contract, including
both of the following:
(a) the difference between the amount of promised consideration and the cash selling price
of thepromised goods or services;
(b) the combined effect of both of the following:
(i) the expected length of time between when the entity transfers the promised goods or
servicesto the customer and when the customer pays for those goods or services; and
(ii) the prevailing interest rates in the relevant market.
An entity shall present the effects of financing (interest revenue or interest expense) separately from
revenue from contracts with customers in the statement of comprehensive income. Interest revenue or
interest expense is recognised only to the extent that a contract asset (or receivable) or a contract
liability is recognised in accounting for a contract with a customer.

For each performance obligation identified, an entity shall determine at contract inception whether
it:
 satisfies the performance obligation over time; or
 satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time.
An entity transfers control of a good or service over time and, therefore, satisfies a performance
obligation andrecognizes revenue over time, if one of the following criteria is met:
 the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity’s
performance as the entity performs;
 the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is
created or enhanced; or
 the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity
has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
When goods or services are transferred continuously, a revenue recognition method that best depicts
the entity’s performance should be applied (and updated as circumstances change).
Acceptable methods include:
 Output methods: units produced, units delivered, contract milestones or surveys of work
performed;
 Input methods: costs incurred, labour hours expended, machine hours used.
If a performance obligation is not satisfied over time, an entity satisfies the performance obligation at a
point in time. To determine the point in time at which a customer obtains control of a promised asset and
the entity satisfies a performance obligation, the entity shall consider the requirements for control as
discussed earlier. In addition, an entity shall consider indicators of the transfer of control, which include,
but are not limited to, the following:
 The entity has a present right to payment for the asset.
 The customer has legal title to the asset.
 The entity has transferred physical possession of the asset.
 The customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.
 The customer has accepted the asset.
Accounting for settlement discounts
Settlement discounts (also known as prompt payment discounts or cash discounts) are offered to credit
customers to encourage early payment of their account. It is not guaranteed that customers will take
advantage of settlement discounts at the point of sale as it is dependent upon whether or not credit customer

688
pays within the timeframe allowed for settlement discount.
While applying IFRS 15 five step approach, the third step requires an entity to 'Determine the transaction
price', which is the amount to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of goods and
services. An entity is required to consider the terms of the contract and its customary business practices to
determine the transaction price. IFRS 15 does not distinguish between trade discount and settlement discount.
When settlement discounts are offered, the expected consideration is variable as the amount the entity will
actuallyreceive is dependent upon the customer choice as to whether it will take advantage of the discount.
Where a contract contains elements of variable consideration, the entity should estimate the amount of
variableconsideration to which it will be entitled under the contract.
The variable consideration is only included in the transaction price if, and to the extent that, it is highly
probable that its inclusion will not result in a significant revenue reversal in the future when the uncertainty
has been subsequently resolved.
When a business makes a sale, it does not know whether the customer will take advantage of the settlement
discountor not, therefore, this is dealt in following ways:
(a) Record the revenue for the full amount if the customer is not expected to pay early:
(i) If customer does not pay early as expected, the full amount is due as recorded already.
(ii) If customer pays early and is entitled to discount, recognise the reduction in revenue by the
amount of discount. Reduction in revenue may be recorded by debiting the ‘revenue’ account
directly or by debiting ‘discount allowed’ account which is eventually deducted from sales
revenue (similar to sales returns).
(b) Record the revenue for reduced (net of discount) amount if the customer is expected to pay early:
(i) If customer pays early as expected, the net amount is due as recorded already.
(ii) If customer does not pay early as expected, treat the additional amount received as revenue from
original sales transaction.
Example: M Limited
Question: M Limited (ML) sold goods of Rs. 10,000 to Z Traders (ZT) on 8th August 2021 to be paid on
31st August 2021. However, if ZT pays within 10 days, it will be entitled to 4% cash discount and will
have to pay only Rs. 9,600.
Required:
How the above transactions along with following independent scenarios will be treated in the books
of ML on 8th August and on the date of payment:
(a) ML expected that ZT will not pay within 10 days and ZT actually paid on 31st August.
(b) ML expected that ZT will not pay within 10 days but ZT actually paid on 17th August.
(c) ML expected that ZT will pay within 10 days and ZT actually paid on 17th August.
(d) ML expected that ZT will pay within 10 days but ZT actually paid on 31st August.

As the above example highlights, applying IFRS 15 has a significant impact on the reported revenue.
Offering settlement discounts will result in lower revenue being recognised, when the discount is
accepted. This will result in lower gross profit margins and net profit margins. Before IFRS 15,
entities used to report discount allowed in operating expenses which did not affect gross profit
margins.
Buyers’ Perspective
IAS 2 Inventories requires that: ‘trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are deducted in
determining the cost of purchase’. Therefore, the treatment of trade discounts is clear and straight-
forward.
However, the treatment of settlement discounts is not specified by IAS 2. In November 2004 the IFRS
Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) considered this and issued an ‘agenda decision’ and tentatively
agreed that settlement discounts received should be deducted from the cost of the inventories.
In light of above and in order to achieve consistency of accounting treatment with IFRS 15, our
preferred view is to record the purchase and related liability (trade payables) at full cost of the goods.
This is in line with prudence concept, which requires that expenses and liabilities must not be
understated.
Then, the purchaser will decide whether or not to take advantage of settlement discount considering
his cash flow position. The subsequent treatment is as follows:
 If advantage of settlement discount is not taken, the gross amount is payable to supplier as already
recorded.
 If advantage of settlement discount is taken, the differential is recognised as reduction of cost of
purchases. Alternatively, ‘discount received’ may be credited. The ‘discount received’ is netted
off against the cost of purchase of inventory (in accordance with IAS 2).

Question: M Enterprises (ME) sold goods of Rs. 10,000 to Zahra Limited (ZL) on 8th August 2021
to be paid on 31st August 2021. However, if ZL pays within 10 days, it will be entitled to 4% cash
discount and will have to pay only Rs. 9,600.
Required:
How the above transactions along with following independent scenarios will be treated in the books
of ZL on 8th August and on the date of payment:
(a) ZL did not take advantage of settlement discount terms and paid on 31st August.
(b) ZL took advantage of settlement discount and paid on 17th August.

*Discount allowed account will be deducted from Revenue in statement of comprehensive income.
However, the above treatment of recording purchases or inventory at full cost of the goods shall not be
appropriate when an entity purchases inventories on deferred settlement terms. When the arrangement
effectively contains a financing element, that element, for example a difference between the purchase
price for normal credit terms and the amount paid, is recognised as interest expense over the period of the
financing.

Example: A Limited and S Limited


Question: A Limited (AL) bought and obtained control of goods from S Limited (SL) on 1 st July 2021.
The parties have agreed to fixed contract price of Rs. 880,000 to be paid on 30th June 2022. The normal
credit period is 15 to 30 days in the relevant industry. SL offers same goods for Rs. 800,000 if paid within
normal credit period. AL and SL have year-end of 30th June.
Required:
Pass journal entries to record the above transaction in the books of AL and SL.
Date Particulars Debit Rs. Credit Rs
01-Jul-2021 Purchases 800,000
SL: Trade payables 800,000

Interest expense 80,000
Cash / Bank 880,000

Date Particulars Debit Rs. Credit Rs

30-Jun-2022 Cash /Bank 880,000
Finance income 80,000
AL: Trade receivables 800,000
The same approaches (relating to prompt payment discount and deferred settlement terms) are
applicable when anentity acquires non-current assets.

Past Paper Questions
Question 1. (Spring 2020)
Financial statements of Trich Mir Limited (TML) for the year ended 31 December 2019 are under
preparation. While reviewing revenues from contract with customers, following matters have been
identified:
(i) On 1 October 2019, TML sold Machine C to Chan Limited for Rs. 25 million. As per the
contract, payment would be made after 2 years. The accountant recognised sales revenue of Rs.
25 million upon delivery on 1 October 2019. Further, commission paid to sales employees for
winning the contract of Rs. 1.6 million was capitalised and is being amortised over 2 years’
period. Applicable discount rate is 10% per annum.
(ii) TML entered into a contract to manufacture a specialised machine for Dhan Limited at a price of
Rs. 30 million. The contract meets the criteria of recognition of revenue over time. At the year
end, the machine was 60% complete and it was estimated that a further cost of Rs. 10 million
would be incurred. Cost of Rs. 15 million incurred till year end has been included in closing
inventory and receipts of Rs. 11 million have been credited to revenues.
(iii) TML entered into a contract to sell one unit of Machine A and Machine B for a total price of Rs.
16 million. Machine A was delivered in December 2019 to the customer while Machine B was
delivered in January 2020. The consideration of Rs. 16 million is due only after TML transfers
both the machines to the customer. TML sells machines A and B at standalone prices of Rs. 12
million and Rs. 8 million respectively. The accountant recognised receivable and revenue of Rs.
12 million upon delivery of Machine A.

commercial building for a customer for Rs. 50 million and a bonus of Rs. 10 million if the building is
completed on or before 31 December 2019.
Till 30 June 2019, KCL expected that the building will be completed within time at a total cost of Rs.
40 million. However, due to bad weather and time involved in regulatory approvals, the building was
completed on 28 February 2020 at a total cost of Rs. 42 million of which Rs. 26 million was incurred
till 30 June 2019.
Required:
Compute profit to be recognized for the years ended 30 June 2019 and 2020, if:
(i) Performance obligation under the contract is satisfied over time. (04)
(ii) Performance obligation under the contract is satisfied at a point in time. (01)
(c) The nature, timing and amount of consideration promised by a customer affect the estimate of
the transaction price.
Define the term ‘transaction price’ and list down the factors that may affect determination of the
transaction price.

Answer 2
a) (i) Allocation of transaction price
Standalone price First Allocation Final Allocated Transaction price
E-1 30,000 30,000 27,000
(30,000/100,000 x 90,000)
E-2 30,000 26,250 (w-1) 23,625

(43,750/100,000 x 90,000)
110,000 100,000 90,000
W-1) There is total discount of 20,000 [110,000 – 90,000] however as E-2 and E-3 are sold together for
70,000 and the sum of their standalone prices is 80,000 [30,000 + 50,000] therefore discount of
10,000 [80,000 -70,000] relates specifically o E-2 an E-3 only. Remaining discount will be allocated
toall products.

Question 3 (Spring 2021)


On 1 January 2021, Covaxin Telecom (CT) announced a new annual promotional package for its customers.
The package comprises of a mobile phone, full year unlimited on-net calls and 1,000 minutes per month on other
networks. Package price is Rs. 11,550 per quarter payable in advance on the first day of each quarter. At the
end of the contract, the phone would not be returned to CT.
On the first day of the promotional announcement, CT sold 1,000 packages. Based on the data available with
CT, it is expected that each customer would utilize 10,000 minutes of other networks with quarterly break-up
as under:
Quarter ending Minutes
31 March 2021 2,700
30 June 2021 2,000
30 September 2021 2,900
31 December 2021 2,400
The mobile phone has a retail value of Rs. 34,000, if sold separately. A monthly subscription for unlimited on-
net calls is Rs. 500 while every call on other networks is charged at Rs. 1.5 per minute, if billed separately.
Required:
Compute the quarterly revenue to be recognized for the quarters ending 31 March 2021 and 30 June 2021. (08)
Answer 3:
QUARTER WISE REVENUE:
Standalone prices Transaction price Allocation
Mobile phone 34,000 28,560 per package (34,000/55,000 x
46,200)
On-net calls 6,000 5,040 per package (6,000/55,000 x
(12 x 500) 46,200)
Other network calls 15,000 12,600 per package (15,000/55,000 x
(10,000 x 1.5) 46,200)
Total 55,000 46,200
(11,550 x 4)

694
First Quarter revenue:
a) Mobile Phone:
100% revenue related to mobile phones should be recognize upon delivery in first quarter,
so:
28,560 x 1,000 packages = 28,560,000
b) On-net calls:
5,040 x 1,000 packages x 3/12 = 1,260,000 [As information of actual network usage is not
available so assumed as equal usage in each quarter]
c) Other Mobile calls:
12,600/10,000 x 2,700(minutes in first quarter) x 1,000 packages = 3,402,000
Total Revenue = 33,222,000 (28,560,000 + 1,260,000 + 3,402,000)
Second Quarter Revenue:
a) Mobile phone = NIL
b) 5,040 x 1,000 packages x 3/12 = 1,260,000
c) 12,600/10,000 x 2,000 x 1,000 = 2,520,000
Total revenue = 3,780,000 (1,260,000 + 2,520,000)

Question 4 (Autumn 2021)


Financial statements of Parodia Motors Limited (PML) for the year ended 30 June 2021 are under
preparation. While reviewing revenues from contract with customers, following matters have been
identified:
(i) On 1 November 2020, PML sold Car-A to Alpha Limited (AL) for Rs. 5 million. As per the
contract, Rs. 1 million would be paid immediately and the balance would be paid after 2 years.
The accountant has recognized revenue to the extent of the cost of Car-A i.e. Rs. 3.5 million and
remaining revenue would be recognized upon receipt of balance from AL.
(ii) On 1 January 2021, PML entered into six months’ contract with Beta Limited (BL) to sell Car-B for
Rs. 3.5 million per unit. As per the contract, if BL purchases more than 10 units during the contract
period, the price will be retrospectively reduced to Rs. 3.4 million per unit. At the inception of the
contract, PML concluded that BL will meet the threshold for the discount. BL purchased 11th unit
of Car- B on 28 June 2021 for which no revenue has been recorded. BL has made payments of all
units except 11th unit which will be settled in July 2021.
(iii) On 1 February 2021, PML sold Car-C to Gamma Limited (GL) for Rs. 3 million and recognized the
entire amount as revenue. PML also provided GL a Rs. 0.2 million discount voucher for any future
purchases of spare parts within one year. There is 80% likelihood that GL will redeem the discount
voucher and will purchase spare parts within one year. By the end of the year, no spare parts were
purchased by GL. PML normally sells Car-C for Rs. 3 million with no discount voucher.
(iv) On 20 February 2021, PML sold Car-D to Delta Limited (DL) with one-year free maintenance
services at a lumpsum payment of Rs. 3.6 million. Payment was made on 1 March 2021 upon
delivery of Car-D to DL. The revenue of Rs. 1.2 million (i.e. 4/12 of Rs. 3.6 million) has been
recognized. PML normally sells Car-D and annual maintenance services separately for Rs. 3.5
million and Rs. 0.3 million respectively.
Discount rate of 12% per annum may be used wherever required.

Question 5 (Autumn 2022)


Rhombus Limited (RL), a supplier of high quality office equipment, has entered into following two contracts
during the year ended 31 August 2022:
(i) On 1 July 2022, RL entered into a contract with Trapezoid Limited (TL) to sell 50 laptops at a total
consideration of Rs. 10 million. 50% laptops would be delivered on 20 July 2022 and balance on 15
August 2022. RL was unconditionally entitled to receive full payment upon delivery of first lot of 25
laptops, however, TL paid full amount on 31 July 2022.
On 7 August 2022, the contract was modified as TL ordered additional 30 laptops of Rs. 190,000 each for
delivery on 25 August 2022. These 30 laptops are distinct but do not reflect the stand-alone selling price.
It was agreed that TL would pay for 29 laptops only instead of 30 laptops. This discount has been given
in compensation of minor defects identified in 25 laptops, delivered on 20 July 2022. TL settled the
balance in September 2022 as per the terms of the contract.
All laptops were delivered as agreed. (07)
(ii) On 1 January 2022, RL entered into a contract with Crescent Limited (CL) for sale of 10 units of its state
of the art 3D printers. The cost and stand-alone price of goods/services included in each unit of printer are
as follows:

696
Unit Cost Unit Price
--Rs. In Million---
Hardware 1,800
3,600
Printing Software 720
Software upgrade to next version 350 500
Maintenance support for 1 year 210 N/A
RL sells 3D printer hardware along with the software as hardware cannot be used without the printing
software. The 3D printer remains functional without the software upgrade and the maintenance support.
RL sells software upgrade upon release to all of its customers. However, RL does not provide
maintenance support but went against its policy to provide it to CL.
Each unit of printer was sold to CL at an overall discounted price of Rs. 4 million. As per payment terms,
CL paid 30% on 1 January 2022 while 50% was paid at the time of delivery of printers (hardware plus
printing software) on 1 March 2022 and remaining 20% will be paid in February 2023.
At year-end, 80% work has been completed on the new version of the printing software which is expected
to be released in October 2022. (09)

Question 6 (Spring 2023)


Fluorine Limited (FL), a manufacturer of ships, has entered into the following contracts during the year
ended 31 December 2022:
(i) On 1 January 2022, FL entered into a contract with Alpha Limited (AL) to construct a cruise ship for
Rs. 400 million to be delivered on 31 December 2023 i.e. the date on which control of the ship would
be transferred to AL. As per the contract, 90% of agreed amount was paid immediately by AL and the
balance will be paid on delivery.
Till 31 December 2022, only 40% of the construction of the ship was completed at a cost of Rs. 150
million.
(ii) On 1 April 2022, FL entered into a contract with Beta Limited (BL) to sell three fishing boats for Rs.
50 million per boat. The amount was received on 1 April 2022 but the boats were delivered on 1 May
2022. As per the contract, if BL purchases more than six boats before 31 December 2022, FL will
retrospectively reduce the price to Rs. 48 million per boat. At the inception of the contract, FL
expected that BL would meet the threshold for the discount.
On 1 November 2022, BL purchased two additional boats on the same price of Rs. 50 million per boat
for which the payment was made in January 2023. Despite FL’s expectation, no further order was
placed by BL till 31 December 2022.
(iii) On 1 November 2022, FL sold a luxury yacht to Gamma Limited (GL) for Rs. 100 million on cash. FL
also provided GL with a Rs. 5 million discount voucher for any interior design work on yacht within
six months. There is 80% likelihood that GL will award the work of interior design within six months
and will avail the discount. However, no interior design work was awarded till 31 December 2022. FL
normally sells such luxury yachts for Rs. 100 million without any discount voucher for interior design
work.
Discount rate of 15% per annum may be used wherever required.

Question 7 (Autumn 2023)


The following information pertains to three independent contracts:
(i) Alpha entered into a contract with Beta to provide administrative support services to Beta for a period of
one year. These services encompass data entry, scheduling departmental meetings and tasks, and so on,
to help Beta focus on its core operations. Alpha is not entitled to any amount if the one-year period is not
completed.
(ii) Gamma is developing a residential society comprising identical villas. Delta entered into contract with
Gamma to buy one of the villas. The control of the villa will be transferred to Delta once the entire
society is complete.
The contract specifically mentions that no customized modification will be made during the
construction by Gamma. Delta is required to make payments in proportion to the work done. In case of
termination by Delta, Gamma is liable to return the amount paid by Delta once the villa is sold to
another party.
(iii) Eta entered into a contract with Theta to develop a software for Theta. The software will be designed
specifically to meet Theta's operational needs and will not be usable for any other customer. The contract
states that Theta will pay 50% of the total contract price upfront and the remaining 50% upon completion of
work. Theta does not have the right to terminate the contract unless Eta fails to perform.
Required:
Analyze whether the revenue should be recognized over time in each of the above contracts in accordance with
IFRS 15. (08)
Answer 7
As per para 35 of IFRS 15, an entity transfers control of a good or service over time and, therefore, satisfies
a performance obligation and recognises revenue over time, if one of the following criteria is met:
a) The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity’s
performance as the entity performs.
b) The entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or
enhanced.
c) The entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an
enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
(i) Beta would be simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits of Alpha’s performance of
administrative support services so Alpha should recognize the revenue over time. The fact that another
entity would not need to re-perform the administrative support services already provided to date by
Alpha also demonstrates that Beta simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services
performed by Alpha. As criterion (a) is fulfilled, payment terms have no effect on revenue recognition.
(ii) As control of villa will be transferred to Delta upon completion of entire society, criteria (a) or (b) have not
met. The villas do seem to have an alternative use for Gamma as they can be sold to another customer

699
in case of termination of contract. Hence, the revenue shall not be recognized by Gamma over time as
criterion (c) above is also not met. Revenue would be recognized when control is transferred to Delta
(iii) Theta will be able to consume the benefits of the software upon completion, so criteria (a) or (b) have not
been met. As per criterion (c) above, the development of software does not create an asset with an
alternative use for Theta, as the software will be designed specifically for Theta’s needs and will not be
applicable for other customers. Eta also has a right to payment for performance completed to date, as
Theta cannot terminate the contract. Therefore, Eta should recognize revenue over time in accordance
with criterion (c).

Question 7 (Spring 2024)


Exquisite Limited (EL) entered into the following two contracts during the year ended31 December 2023
(i) On 1 October 2023, EL entered into a contract with Alpha Limited (AL) to provide monthly payroll
processing service for two months. EL concluded that the service is a single performance obligation performed
over time and is measured on time basis
EL initially proposed a fee of Rs. 620,000 for each month in cash. However, due to liquidity problem, AL
declined this offer. Instead, AL agreed to compensate EL with its 5,000 ordinary shares per month of service,
totalling 10,000 shares for the entire contract. According to the terms of the contract, the shares are to be
delivered uponthe successful completion of each month of service.
As a result, EL received 5,000 shares on 31 October 2023 and another 5,000 shares on 30 November 2023. The
fair value of each AL’s share was Rs. 125 on 1 October 2023, Rs. 120 on 31 October 2023, Rs. 110 on
30 November 2023, and Rs. 108 on 31 December 2023 respectively
EL holds all shares received from AL on 31 December 2023.
(ii) On 1 November 2023, EL also entered into a six months’ contract to sell goods to Beta Limited (BL), a large
global chain of retail stores. BL committed to make purchases of at least Rs. 20 million during the contract
period.
The contract also required EL to make a non-refundable payment of Rs. 2 million toBL at the inception of the
contract for the necessary changes to shelving to prominently display EL’s products.
On 15 December 2023, EL sold goods having invoice value of Rs. 6 million to BL,which BL paid on 30
December 2023.
Required:
Prepare necessary accounting entries in EL’s books for the year ended 31 December 2023 in accordance with
the IFRSs. (No marks will be awarded for entries without dates) (08)

Examples of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Example 1 Modification of a contract for goods [Example 5 of IFRS Part B]
An entity promises to sell 120 products to a customer for 12,000 (100 per product). The products are
transferred to the customer over a six-month period. The entity transfers control of each product at a point
in time. After the entity has transferred control of 60 products to the customer, the contract is modified to
require the delivery of an additional 30 products (a total of 150 identical products) to the customer. The
additional 30 products were not included in the initial contract.
Case A – Additional product for a price that reflects the stand-alone selling price
When the contract is modified, the price of the contract modification for the additional 30 products is an
additional 2,850 or 95 per product. The pricing for the additional products reflects the stand-alone selling
price of the products at the time of the contract modification and the additional products are distinct from
the original products.
In accordance with IFRS 15, the contract modification for the additional 30 products is in effect, a
new and separate contract for future products that does not affect the accounting for the existing contract.
The entity recognises revenue of 100 per product for the 120 products in the original contract and 95 per
product for the 30 products in the new contracts (as and when the control is transferred)
Case B – Additional products for a price that does not reflect the stand-alone selling price.
During the process of negotiating the purchase of an additional 30 products, the parties initially agree on
a price of 80 per product. However, the customer discovers that the initial 60 products transferred to the
customer contained minor defects that were unique to those delivered products. The entity promises a
partial credit of 15 per product to compensate the customer for the poor quality of those products. The
entity and the customer agree to incorporate the credit of 900 (15 credit × 60 products) into the price that
the entity charges for the additional 30 products. Consequently, the contract modification specifies that
the price of the additional 30 products is 1,500 or 50 per product. That price comprises the agreed-upon
price for the additional 30 products of 2,400, or 80 per product, less the credit of 900.
At the time of modification, the entity recognises the 900 as a reduction of the transaction price and,
therefore, as a reduction of revenue for the initial 60 products transferred. In accounting for the sale of the
additional 30 products, the entity determines that the negotiated price of 80 per product does not reflect
the stand-alone selling price of the additional products. Consequently, the contract modification does not
meet the conditions of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a separate contract. Because the remaining products
to be delivered are distinct from those already transferred, the entity accounts for the modification as a
termination of the original contract and the creation of a new contract.
Consequently, the amount recognised as revenue for each of the remaining products is a blended price of
93.33 ([(100 × 60 products not yet transferred under the original contract) + (80 × 30 products to be
transferred under the contract modification)] ÷ 90 remaining products}.
Example 2 Customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits [Example 13 of IFRS PartB]
An entity enters into a contract to provide monthly payroll processing services to a customer for one year.
The promised payroll processing services are accounted for as a single performance obligation. The
performance obligation is satisfied over time in accordance with IFRS 15 because the customer
simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the entity’s performance in processing each payroll
transaction as and when each transaction is processed. The entity recognises revenue over time by
measuring its progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation by using any of the
methods available in IFRS 15 (on monthly basis)
Example 3 – Assessing whether a performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time or overtime
[Example 17 of IFRS Part B]

701
An entity is developing a multi-unit residential complex. A customer enters into a binding sales contract
with the entity for a specified unit that is under construction. Each unit has similar floor plan and is of a
similar size, but other attributes of the units are different (for example, the location of the unit within the
complex).
Case A – Entity does not have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date
The customer pays a deposit upon entering into the contract and the deposit is refundable only if the
entity fails to complete construction of the unit in accordance with the contract. The remainder of the
contract price is payable on completion of the contract when the customer obtains physical possession of
the unit. If the customer defaults on the contract before completion of the unit, the entity only has the
rightto retain the deposit.
At contract inception, the entity determines whether its promise to construct and transfer the unit to the
customer is a performance obligation satisfied over time. The entity determines that it does not have an
enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date because, until construction of the unit is
complete, the entity only has a right to the deposit paid by the customer. Because the entity does nothave
a right to payment for work completed to date, the entity’s performance obligation is not a performance
obligation satisfied over time. Instead, the entity accounts for the sale of the unit as a performance
obligation satisfied at a point in time [means when performance obligation is satisfied and unit is
transferred]
Case B – Entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date
The customer pays a non-refundable deposit upon entering into the contract and will make progress
payments during construction of the unit. The contract has substantive terms that precludes (restricts) the
entity from being able to direct the unit to another customer. In addition, the customer does not have the
right to terminate the contract unless the entity fails to perform as promised. If the customer defaults on
its obligations by failing to make the promised progress payments as and when they are due, the
entity would have a right to all of the consideration promised in the contract if it completes the
construction of the unit. The courts have previously upheld similar rights that entitle developers to require
the customer toperform, subject to the entity meeting its obligations under the contract.
At contract inception, the entity determines whether its promise to construct and transfer the unit to the
customer is a performance obligation satisfied over time. The entity determines that the asset (unit)
created by the entity’s performance does not have an alternative use to the entity because the contract
precludes the entity from transferring the specified unit to another customer.
The entity also has a right to payment for performance completed to date. This is because if the customer
were to default on its obligations, the entity would have an enforceable right to all of the consideration
promised under the contract if it continues to perform as promised (as per previous court decisions).
Therefore the terms of the contract and the practices in the legal jurisdiction indicate that there is a right
to payment for performance completed to date. Consequently, the entity has a performance obligation
that it satisfies over time. To recognise revenue for that performance obligation satisfied over time, the
entity measures its progress towards complete satisfaction of its performance obligation by using any
relevant input/output method.
Case C – Entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date
The same facts as in Case B apply to Case C, except that in the event of a default by the customer, either
the entity can require the customer to perform as required under the contract or the entity can cancel the
contract in exchange for the asset under construction and an entitlement to a penalty of a proportion of
the contract price.
Notwithstanding that the entity could cancel the contract (in which case the customer’s obligation to the
entity would be limited to transferring control of the partially completed asset to the entity and paying the

702
penalty prescribed), the entity has a right to payment for performance completed to date because the
entity could also choose to enforce its rights to full payment under the contract. The fact that the entity
may choose to cancel the contract in the event the customer defaults on its obligations would not affect
that assessment, provided that the entity’s rights to require the customer to continue to perform as
required under the contract (ie pay the promised consideration) are enforceable.
Example 4 Measuring progress when making goods or services available [Example 18 of IFRS Part B]
An entity, an owner and manager of health clubs, enters into a contract with a customer for one year of
access to any of its health clubs. The customer has unlimited use of the health clubs and promises to pay
100 per month.
The entity determines that its promise to the customer is to provide a service of making the health clubs
available for the customer to use as and when the customer wishes. This is because the extent to which the
customer uses the health clubs does not affect the amount of the remaining goods and services to which
the customer is entitled. The entity concludes that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the
benefits of th4e entity’s performance as it performs by making the health clubs available. Consequently,
the entity’s performance obligation is satisfied over time.
The entity also determines that the customer benefits from the entity’s service of making the health clubs
available evenly throughout the year. (That is, the customer benefits from having the health clubs
available, regardless of whether the customer uses it or not.) Consequently, the entity concludes that the
best measure of progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation over time is a time-
based measure and it recognises revenue on a straight-line basis throughout the year at 100 per month.
Example 5 – Penalty gives rise to variable consideration [Example 20 of IFRS Part B]
An entity enters into a contract with a customer to build an asset for 1 million. In addition, the terms of
the contract include a penalty of 100,000 if the construction is not completed within three months of a
date specified in the contract.
The entity concludes that the consideration promised in the contract includes a fixed amount of 900,000
and a variable amount of 100,000 (which may or may be received because of charging penalty).
The entity estimates the variable consideration by using either of the following methods.
 Expected value method.
 Most likely method.
Example 6 – right of return [sale on approval basis] [Example 22 of IFRS Part B]
An entity enters into 100 contracts with customers. Each contract includes the sale of one product for 100
(100 total products × 100 = 10,000 total consideration). Cash is received when control of a product
transfers. The entity’s customary business practice is to allow a customer to return any unused product
within 30 days and receive a full refund. The entity’s cost of each product is 60.
Because the contract allows a customer to return the products, the consideration received from the
customer is variable. To estimate the variable consideration to which the entity will be entitled, the entity
decides to use the expected value method because it is the method that the entity expects to better
predict the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled. Using the expected value method,
theentity estimates that 97 products will not be returned.
The entity concludes that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative amount of
revenue recognised (ie 9,700) will not occur as the uncertainty is resolved (ie over the return period of 30
days).
The entity estimates that the costs of recovering the products will be immaterial and expects that the
returned products can be resold at a profit.

703
Upon transfer of control of the 100 products, the entity does not recognise revenue for the three products
that is expects to be returned. Consequently, the entity recognises the following:
(a) Revenue of 9,700 (100 × 97 products not expected to be returned);
(b) A refund liability of 300 (100 refund × 3 products expected to be returned); and
(c) An asset of 180 (60 × 3 products for its right to recover products from customers on settling the
refund liability).
Example 7 – Significant financing component and right of return [Example 26 of IFRS Part B]
An entity sells a product to a customer for 121 that is payable 2 years after right of return is expired. The
customer obtains control of the product at contract inception. The contract permits the customer to return
the product within 90 days. The product is new and the entity has no relevant historical evidence of
product returns or other available market evidence.
The cash selling price of the product is 100, which represents the amount that the customer would pay
upon delivery for the same product sold under otherwise identical terms and conditions as at contract
inception. The entity’s cost of the product is 80.
The entity does not recognise revenue when control of the product transfers to the customer. This is
because the existence of the right of return and the lack of relevant historical evidence means that the
entity cannot conclude that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative
revenue recognised will not occur. Consequently, revenue is recognised after three months when the
right of return lapses.
The contract includes a significant financing component. This is evident from the difference between the
amount of promised consideration of 121 and the cash selling price of 100 at the date that the goods are
transferred to the customer.
The contract includes an implicit interest rate of 10 per cent (ie the interest rate that over 2 years
discounts the promised consideration of 121 to the cash selling price of 100).
Accounting entries:
(a) When the product is transferred to the customer.
Stock with customer 80
Inventory 80
(b) When the right of return lapses (the product is not returned):
Receivable 100
Revenue 100
Cost of sales 80
Stock with customer 80
Until the entity receives the cash payment from the customer, interest revenue would be recognised on
time basis.
Example 8 – Advance payment and assessment of discount rate [Example 29 of IFRS Part B]
An entity enters into a contract with a customer to sell an asset. Control of the asset will transfer to the
customer in two years (ie the performance obligation will be satisfied at a point in time). The contract
includes two alternative payment options: payment of 5,000 in two years when the customer obtains
control of the asset or payment of 4,000 when the contract is signed. The customer elects to pay 4,000
when the contract is signed.
The entity concludes that the contract contains a significant financing component because of the length of

704
time between when the customer pays for the asset and when the entity transfers the asset to the customer,
as well as the prevailing interest rates in the market.
The interest rate implicit in the transaction is 11.8 per cent, which is the interest rate necessary to make
the two alternative payment options economically equivalent. However, the entity determines that the rate
that should be used in adjusting the promised consideration is six per cent, which is the entity’s
incremental borrowing rate.
The following journal entries illustrate how the entity would account for the significant financing
component:
(a) Recognise a contract liability for the 4,000 payment received at contract
inception:Cash 4,000
Contract liability 4,000
(b) During the two years from contract inception until the transfer of the asset, the entity adjusts the
promised amount of consideration and accretes (increase) the contract liability by recognising
interest on 4,000 at six per cent for two years:
At the end of first year:
Interest expense 240
Contract liability 240
4,000 contract liability × (6 per cent interest) = 240
At the end of second year:
Interest expense 254
Contract liability 254
[4,000 + 240 contract liability] × (6 per cent interest) = 254

(c) Recognise revenue for the transfer of the asset (at the end of two years):
Contract liability 4,494
Revenue 4,494
Example 9 – Entitlement to non-cash consideration [Example 31 of IFRS Part B]
An entity enters into a contract with a customer to provide a weekly service for one year. The contract
issigned on 1 January 20X1 and work begins immediately. The entity concludes that the service is a
single
performance obligation This is because the entity is providing a series of distinct services that are
substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer (the services transfer to the customer over
time and use the same method to measure progress – that is, a time-based measure of progress).
In exchange for the service, the customer promises 100 shares per week of service (a total of 5,200 shares
for the contract). The terms in the contract require that the shares must be paid upon the successful
completion of each week of service.
The entity measures its progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation as each
week of service is complete. To determine the transaction price (and the amount of revenue to be
recognised), the entity measures the fair value of 100 shares that are received upon completion of each
weekly service (means at the end of each week as 100 x Fair value per share).

705
Example 10 – Consideration payable to a customer [Example 32 of IFRS Part B]
An entity that manufactures consumer goods enters into a one-year contract to sell goods to a customer
that is a large global chain of retail stores. The customer commits to buy at least Rs. 15 million
of products during the year. The contract also requires the entity to make a non-refundable payment of
Rs.
1.5 million to the customer at the inception of the contract. The Rs.1.5 million payment will compensate
the customer for the changes it needs to make to its shelving to a accommodate the entity’s products.
The entity concludes that the payment to the customer is not in exchange for a distinct good or service
that transfers to the entity. This is because the entity does not obtain control of any rights to the
customer’s shelves. Consequently, the entity determines that the 1.5 million payment is a reduction of the
transaction price.
Suppose during the first month, the entity transferred goods amounting to sale value of 2 million
therefore, in the first month in which the entity transfers goods to the customer, the entity recognises
revenue of 1.8 million. (2 million ÷ 15 million x 13.5).
Example 11 – Allocation methodology [Example 33 of IFRS Part B]
An entity enters into a contract with a customer to sell Products A, B and C in exchange for 100. The
entity will satisfy the performance obligations for each of the products at different points in time. The
entity regularly sells product A separately and therefore the stand-alone selling price is directly
observable. The stand-alone selling prices of products B and C are not directly observable.
Because the stand-alone selling prices for Products B and C are not directly observable, the entity must
estimate them. To estimate the stand-alone selling prices, the entity uses the adjusted market assessment
approach for Product B and the expected cost plus margin approach for Product C. The entity estimates
the stand-alone selling prices as follows:
Product Stand-aloneselling price Method
Product A 50 Directly observable
Product B 25 Adjusted market assessment approach
Product C 75 Expected cost plus a margin approach
Total 150
The customer receives a discount for purchasing the bundle of goods because the sum of the stand- alone
selling prices (150) exceeds the promised consideration (100). The entity considers whether it has
observable evidence about the performance obligation to which the entire discount belongs and
concludes that it does not. Consequently, the discount is allocated proportionately across Products A, B
and C. The discount, and therefore the transaction price, is allocated as follows:
Product Allocated transaction price

Product A 33 (50 ÷ 150 × 100)


Product B 17 (25 ÷ 150 × 100)
Product C 50 (75 ÷ 150 × 100)
Total 100

Example 12 – Allocating a discount [Example 34 of IFRS Part B]


An entity regularly sells Products A, B and C individually, thereby establishing the following stand-alone
selling prices:
Product Stand-alone selling price

706
Product A 40
Product B 55
Product C 45
Total 140
In addition, the entity regularly sells Products B and C together for 60
Case A – Allocating a discount to one or more performance obligations
The entity enters into a contract with a customer to sell Products A, B and C in exchange for 100. The
entity will satisfy the performance obligations for each of the products at different points in time.
The contract includes a discount of 40 on the overall transaction, which would be allocated
proportionately to all three performance obligations when allocating the transaction price using the
relative stand-alone selling price method. However, because the entity regularly sells Products B and C
together for 60 and Product A for 40, it has evidence that the entire discount should be allocated to the
promises to transfer Products B and C.
If the entity transfers control of Products B and C at the same point in time, then the entity could, as a
practical matter, account for the transfer of those products as a single performance obligation. That is, the
entity could allocate 60 of the transaction price to the single performance obligation and recognise
revenue of 60 when Products B and C simultaneously transfer to the customer.
As the contract requires the entity to transfer control of Products B and C at different points in time, then
the allocated amount of 60 is individually allocated to the promises to transfer Product B (stand-alone
selling price of 55) and Product C (stand-alone selling price of 45) as follows:
Product Allocated transaction price

Product B 33 (55 / 100 total stand-alone selling price × 60)


Product C 27 (45 / 100 total stand-alone selling price × 60)
Total 60
Case B – Residual approach is appropriate
The entity enters into a contract with a customer to sell Products A, B and C as described in Case A. The
contract also includes a promise to transfer product D. Total consideration in the contract is 130. The
stand-alone selling price for Product D is highly variable because the entity sells Product D to different
customers for a broad range of amounts (from 15 to 45). Consequently, the entity decides to estimate the
stand-alone selling price of Product D using the residual approach.
Before estimating the stand-alone selling price of Product D using the residual approach, the entity
determines whether any discount should be allocated to the other performance obligations in the contract.
As in Case A, because the entity regularly sells Products B and C together for 60 and Product A for 40, it
has observable evidence that 100 should be allocated to those three products and a 40 discount should be
allocated to the promises to transfer Products B and C. Using the residual approach, the entity estimates
the stand-alone selling price of Product D to be 30 as follows:
Product Stand-alone selling price Method

Product A 40 Directly observable


Products B and C [100 - 40] 60 Directly observable
withdiscount
Product D (bal) 30 Residual approach

707
Total 130
The entity observes that the resulting 30 allocated to Product D is within the range of its observable
selling prices (15 – 45). Therefore, the resulting allocation (see above table) is consistent with the
allocation objective.

Case C – Residual approach is inappropriate


The same facts as in Case B apply to Case C except the transaction price is 105 instead of 130.
Consequently, the application of the residual approach would result in a stand-alone selling price of 5 for
Product D (105 transaction price less 100 allocated to Products A, B and C). The entity concludes that 5
would not faithfully depict the amount of consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in
exchange for satisfying its performance obligation to transfer Product D, because 5 does not approximate
the stand-alone selling price of Product D, which ranges from 15 – 45. In this case, entity should use any
other method to estimate standalone price of product D.

Example 13 – Incremental costs of obtaining a contract [Example 36 of IFRS Part B]


An entity, a provider of consulting services, wins a competitive bid to provide consulting services to a
newcustomer. The entity incurred the following costs to obtain the contract:
External legal fees for due diligence 15,000
Travel costs to deliver proposal 25,000
Commissions to sales employees as a result of obtaining the contract 10,000
Total costs incurred 50,000
The entity recognises an asset for the 10,000 incremental costs of obtaining the contract arising from the
commissions to sales employees because the entity expects to recover those costs through future fees
for the consulting services.
The entity observes that the external legal fees and travel costs would have been incurred regardless of
whether the contract was obtained. Therefore, those costs are recognised as expenses when incurred.
Example 14 – Contract liability and receivable [Example 38 of IFRS Part B]
Case A – Cancellable contract
On 1 January 20X9, an entity enters into a cancellable contract to transfer a product to a customer on 31
March 20X9. The contract requires the customer to pay consideration of 1,000 in advance on 31 January
20X9. The customer pays the consideration on 1 March 20X9. The entity transfers the product on 31
March 20X9. The following journal entries illustrate how the entity accounts for the contract:
(a) The entity receives cash of 1,000 on 1 March 20X9 (cash is received in advance of performance):
Cash 1,000
Contract liability 1,000
(b) The entity satisfies the performance obligation on 31 March
20X9:Contract liability 1,000
Revenue 1,000
Case B – Non-cancellable contract
The same facts as in Case A apply to Case B except that the contract is non-cancellable. The following
journal entries illustrate how the entity accounts for the contract:
(a) The amount of consideration is due on 31 January 20X9 (which is when the entity recognises a
receivable because it has an unconditional right to consideration):

Receivable 1,000

708
Contract liability 1,000
(b) The entity receives the cash on 1 March 20X9:
Cash 1,000
Receivable 1,000
(c) The entity satisfies the performance obligation on 31 March 20X9:
Contract liability 1,000
Revenue 1,000
Example 15 – Contract asset recognized for the entity’s performance [Example 39 of IFRS Part B]
On 1 January 20X8, and entity enters into a contract to transfer Products A and B to a customer in
exchange for 1,000. The contract requires Product A to be delivered first and states that payment for the
delivery of Product A is conditional on the delivery of Product B. In other words, the consideration of
1,000 is due only after the entity has transferred both Products A and B to the customer. Consequently,
the entity does not have a right to consideration that is unconditional (a receivable) until both Products A
and B are transferred to the customer.
The entity identifies the promises to transfer Products A and B as performance obligations and allocates
400 to the performance obligation to transfer product A and 600 to the performance obligation to transfer
Product B on the basis of their relative stand-alone selling prices. The entity recognises revenue for each
respective performance obligation when control of the product transfers to the customer.
The entity satisfies the performance obligation to transfer Product A:
Contract asset 400
Revenue 400
The entity satisfies the performance obligation to transfer product B and to recognise the unconditional
right to consideration:
Receivable 1,000
Contract asset 400
Revenue 600
Example 16 – Receivable recognised for the entity’s performance [Example 40 of IFRS Part B]
An entity enters into a contract with a customer on 1 January 20X9 to transfer products to the customer
for 150 per product. If the customer purchases more than 1 million products in a calendar year, the
contract indicates that the price per unit is retrospectively reduced to 125 per product.
Consideration is due when control of the products transfer to the customer. Therefore, the entity has an
unconditional right to consideration (ie a receivable) for 150 per product until the retrospective price
reduction applies (ie after 1 million products are shipped).
In determining the transaction price, the entity concludes at contract inception that the customer will meet
the 1 million products threshold and therefore estimates that the transaction price is 125 per product.
Consequently, upon the first shipment to the customer of 100 products the entity recognises the following:

Receivable (150 x 100) 15,000


Revenue (125 x 100) 12,500
Payable to customer (25 x 100) 2,500
(a) 150 per product × 100 products.

709
(b) 125 transaction price per product × 100 products.
The refund liability (means payable to customer) represents a refund of 25 per product, which is expected
to be provided to the customer for the volume-based rebate (ie the difference between the 150 price stated
in the contract that the entity has an unconditional right to receive and the 125 estimated transaction
price).
Example 17 – Option that provides the customer with a material right to future products (discount
voucher) [Example 49 of IFRS Part B]
An entity enters into a contract for the sale of Product A for 100. As part of the contract, the entity gives
the customer a 40 per cent discount voucher for any future purchases up to 100 in the next 30 days. The
entity intends to offer a 10 per cent discount on all sales during the next 30 days as part of a seasonal
promotion. The 10 per cent discount cannot be used in addition to the 40 per cent discount voucher. The
standalone price of product A is 100.
Because all customers will receive a 10 per cent discount on purchases during the next 30 days, the only
discount that provides the customer with a material right is the discount that is incremental to that 10 per
cent (i.e. the additional 30 per cent discount). The entity accounts for the promise to provide the
incremental discount as a performance obligation in the contract for the sale of product A [means there
are two performance obligations; i.e Product A and goods against discount voucher]
To estimate the stand-alone selling price of the discount voucher, the entity estimates an 80 per cent
likelihood that a customer will redeem the voucher and that a customer will, on average, purchase
Rs.50 of additional products. Consequently, the entity’s estimated stand-alone selling price of the
discount voucher is 12 (50 average purchase price of additional products × 30 per cent incremental
discount × 80 per cent likelihood of exercising the option). The stand-alone selling prices of product A
andthe discount voucher and the resulting allocation of the 100 transaction price are as follows:
Performance obligation Stand-alone
selling price

Product A 100
Discount voucher 12
Total 112

Product Allocated transaction price

Product A 89 (100 / 112 × 100)


Discount voucher 11 (12 / 112 × 100)
Total 100
The entity allocates 89 to Product A and recognises revenue for Product A when control transfers. The
entity allocates 11 to the discount voucher and recognises revenue for the voucher when the customer
redeems it for goods or services or when it expires [means suppose if customer does not take the goods
against the discount voucher within the agreed time period].
Example 18 – Customer loyalty programme [Example 52 of IFRS Part B]
An entity has a customer loyalty programme that rewards a customer with one customer loyalty point for
every Rs.10 of purchases. Each point is redeemable for a Rs.1 discount on any future purchases of the
entity’s products. During a reporting period, customers purchase products for 100,000 and earn 10,000
points that are redeemable for future purchases. The consideration is fixed and the stand-alone selling
price of the purchased products is 100,000. The entity expects 9,500 points to be redeemed. The entity

710
estimates a stand-alone selling price (totalling Rs.9,500) on the basis of the likelihood of redemption
The points provide a material right to customers that they would not receive without entering into a
contract. Consequently, the entity concludes that the promise to provide points to the customer is a
performance obligation. The entity allocates the transaction price (100,000) to the product and the points
on a relative stand-alone selling price basis as follows:

Product 100,000 91,324 [100,000 × (100,000 stand-alone selling price / 109,500)]


Points 9,500 8,676 [100,000 × (9,500 stand-alone selling price / 109,500)]
109,500 100,000
At the end of the first reporting period, suppose 4,500 points have been redeemed and the entity continues
to expect 9,500 points to be redeemed in total. The entity recognises revenue for the loyalty points of
4,110 [(4,500 points / 9,500 points) × 8,676] and recognises a contract liability of 4,566 (8,676 – 4,110)
for the unredeemed points at the end of the first reporting period.
At the end of the second reporting period, suppose 8,500 points have been redeemed cumulatively. The
entity updates its estimate of the points that will be redeemed and now expects that 9,700 points will be
redeemed. The entity recognizes revenue for the loyalty points of 3,493 [(8,500 total points redeemed /
9,700 total points expected to be redeemed) × 8,676 initial allocations] – 4,110 recognised in the first
reporting period). The contract liability balance is 1,073 (8,676 initial allocations – 7,603 of cumulative
revenue recognised).
Example 19 – Bill-and-hold arrangement [Example 63 of IFRS Part B]
An entity enters into a contract with a customer on 1 January 2018 for the sale of a machine and spare
parts. The manufacturing lead time for the machine and spare parts is two years.
Upon completion of manufacturing, the entity demonstrates that the machine and spare parts meet the
agreed-upon specifications in the contract. The promises to transfer the machine and spare parts are
distinct and result in two performance obligations that each will be satisfied at a point in time. On 31
December 2019, the customer pays for the machine and spare parts, but only takes physical possession of
the machine. Although the customer inspects and accepts the spare parts, the customer requests that the
spare parts be stored at the entity’s warehouse because of its close proximity to the customer’s factory.
The customer has legal title to the spare parts and the parts can be identified as belonging to the customer.
Furthermore, the entity stores the spare parts in a separate section of is warehouse and the parts are ready
for immediate shipment at the customer’s request. The entity expects to hold the spare parts for two to
four years and the entity does not have the ability to use the spare parts or direct them to another
customer.
The entity identifies the promise to provide custodial services as a performance obligation because it is a
service provided to the customer and it is distinct from the machine and spare parts. Consequently, the
entity accounts for three performance obligations in the contract (the promises to provide the machine,
the spare parts and the custodial services). The transaction price is allocated to the three performance
obligations and revenue is recognised when (or as) control transfers to the customer.
Control of the machine transfers to the customer on 31 December 2019 when the customer takes physical
possession. The entity assesses the indicators of transfer of control to determine the point in time at
which control of the spare parts transfers to the customer, noting that the entity has received payment, the
customer has legal title to the spare parts and the customer has inspected and accepted the spare parts. The
entity recognises revenue for the spare parts on 31.12.2019 when control transfers tothe customer.

Example 20—Volume discount incentive [Example 24 of IFRS Part B]


An entity enters into a contract with a customer on 1 January 2018 to sell Product A for 100 per unit. If

711
the customer purchases more than 1,000 units of Product A in a calendar year, the contract specifies that
the price per unit is retrospectively reduced to 90 per unit. Consequently, the consideration in the
contract is variable.
For the first quarter ended 31 March 2018, the entity sells 75 units of Product A to the customer. The
entity estimates that the customer’s purchases will not exceed the 1,000-unit threshold required for the
volume discount in the calendar year.

The entity determines that it has significant experience with this product and with the purchasing pattern
of the entity. Thus, the entity concludes that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the
cumulative amount of revenue recognised (i.e. 100 per unit) will not occur when the uncertainty is
resolved (ie when the total amount of purchases is known). Consequently, the entity recognises revenue
of 7,500 (75 units × 100 per unit) for the quarter ended 31 March 2018.
In May 2018, the entity’s customer acquires another company and in the second quarter ended 30 June
2018 the entity sells an additional 500 units of Product A to the customer. In the light of the new fact, the
entity estimates that the customer’s purchases will exceed the 1,000-unit threshold for the calendar year
and therefore it will be required to retrospectively reduce the price per unit to 90.
Consequently, the entity recognises revenue of 44,250 for the quarter ended 30 June 2018. That amount is
calculated from 45,000 for the sale of 500 units (500 units × 90 per unit) less the change in transaction
price of 750 (75 units × 10 price reduction) for the reduction of revenue relating to units sold for the
quarter ended 31 March 2018.

possible disclosures as required under the International Accounting Standards and the Companies Act,
2017.
(Comparative figures and the note on accounting policies are not required.)

Sales Tax
According to sales tax act, every supplier has an obligation to collect 17% sales tax at time of sales.

Suppose a company purchases a raw material to convert it into finished goods for sale. Detail of a purchase
invoice is as follows:
Purchase price 100,000
+ 17% sales tax 17,000_
117,000
Suppose it is a credit purchase.

If sales tax is not refundable; then entry is


Purchases 117,000
Creditor 117,000
If sale tax is refundable/adjustable; then entry is:
Purchases 100,000
Sales tax receivable 17,000
Creditor 117,000
Now suppose the company converted the raw material into finished goods and sold it to a customer.

733
Detail of a sale invoice is as follows:
Sale price 200,000
+ 17% Sales Tax 34,000
234,000
Suppose it is a credit sale.
Debtor 234,000
Sales 200,000
Sale tax payable 34,000
As per sales tax act, sales tax receivables and sales tax payable can be adjusted against each other.

Therefore in the above scenario net Rs 17,000 is payable to sales tax department.

Alternative Entry
i) Cash 234,000
Sales 234,000
ii) Sales tax 34,000
Sales tax payable 34,000

The amount of sales tax is deducted from sales just like sales return.
If head of sales tax is appearing on debit side of trail balance then it is to be deducted from sales in
income statement.

Presentation of expenses in income statement.


Expenses should be presented in income statement by either:
 according to the function of the expense method; or
 according to the nature of expenses method

IAS 1 states that entities should choose the method that provides the more relevant or reliable
information. However, Companies’ Act 2017 requires classification by function with additional
information on nature in notes to the financial statements.

IAS 1 encourages entities to show the analysis of expenses by nature on the face of the statement of
comprehensive income rather than in notes to the financial statements.

Analysis of expenses by their function


When expenses are analyzed according to their function, the functions are commonly ‘cost of sales’,
‘distribution expenses’, ‘administrative expenses’ and ‘other expenses’. This method of analysis is also
called the ‘cost of sales method’.

Illustration: Statement of comprehensive income - Expenses

Profit for the period 600

IAS 1 also requires that if the analysis by function method is used, additional information about nature of
expenses must be disclosed in notes.

Analysis of expenses by their nature


When expenses are analyzed according to their nature, the categories of expenses will vary according to
the nature of the business. In a manufacturing business, expenses would probably be classified as:
 raw materials and consumables used;
 staff costs (‘employee benefits costs’);
 Depreciation.

Items of expense that on their own are immaterial are presented as ‘other expenses’.
There will also be an adjustment for the increase or decrease in inventories of finished goods and work-in-
progress during the period.

This schedule lists the classification criteria of the companies on the basis of company size and whether it
is commercial or non-profit. It also specifies which companies are required to follow requirements of
fourth and fifth schedule of the Act.
The fourth schedule
This schedule sets out the disclosure requirements that must be complied with in respect of the financial
statements of a listed company.
The schedule specifies that listed companies must follow International Financial Reporting Standards as
notified for this purpose in the Official Gazette.
The fifth schedule
This schedule applies to the balance sheets and profit and loss accounts of non-listed companies (including
large, medium and small sized entities) and their subsidiaries. It also applies to private and non-listed public
companies that are a subsidiary of a listed company.
3. International Financial Reporting Standards

The International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) was established in 1973 to develop
international accounting standards with the aim of harmonising accounting procedures throughout the

750
world.
The first International Accounting Standards (IASs) were issued in 1975. The work of the IASC was
supported by another body called the Standing Interpretation Committee. This body issued
interpretations of rules in standards when there was divergence in practice. These interpretations were
called Standing Interpretation Committee Pronouncements or SICs.
In 2001 the constitution of the IASC was changed leading to the replacement of the IASC and the SIC by
new bodies called the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International
Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).
The IASB adopted all IASs and SICs that were extant at the time but said that standards written from that
time were to be called International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Interpretations are known as
IFRICs.
The term IFRS is also used to refer to the whole body of rules (i.e., IAS and IFRS in
total). Thus IFRS is made up as follows:

Published by IASC Published by the IASB


(Up to 2001) (from 2001)
Accounting standards IASs IFRSs

Interpretations SICs IFRICs

Note that many IASs and SICs have been replaced or amended by the IASB since 2001.
International accounting standards cannot be applied in any country without the approval of the national
regulators in that country (e.g. SECP in Pakistan). All jurisdictions have some kind of formal approval
process which is followed before IFRS can be applied in that jurisdiction.

Adoption process for IFRS in Pakistan


The previous sections refer to the approval of IFRS by the SECP and notification of that approval in the
Official Gazette

Adoption of an IFRS involves the following steps:


 As a first step the IFRS/IAS is considered by ICAP’s Accounting Standards Board, which identifies
any issues that may arise on adoption.
 The Board also determines how the adoption and implementation of the standard can be facilitated. It
considers issues like how long any transition period should be and whether adoption of the standard
would requires changes in regulations.
 If the Board also identifies the need for changes to regulations it refers the matter to the Securities
and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) (and/or the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) for
matters affecting banks and other financial institutions). This process is managed by the Coordination
Committees of ICAP and SECP (SBP).
 After the satisfactory resolution of issues the Board and the Council reconsider the matter of adoption.
 ICAP recommends the adoption to the SECP by decision of the Council. The decision to adopt the
standard rests with the SECP.

2. The classification of a company can be changed where it does not fall under the previous criteria for
two consecutive years.
3. The number of employees means the average number of persons employed by a company in that
financial year calculated on monthly basis.

Refinancing of financial liabilities


Refinancing a financial liability means postponing the due date for repayment.
When a liability that was once non-current (e.g. a 10-year bank loan) falls due for repayment within12 months
after reporting period, it should now be classified as current.
There are, however, only two instances where the possibility of refinancing may be used to avoidhaving to
classify a financial liability as a current liability, being when:
1. The existing loan agreement includes an option to refinance or roll-over the obligation (i.e.to delay
repayment of) where:

754
 the option enables a delay until at least 12 months after the reporting period, and
 the option is at the discretion of the entity (as opposed to the lender, for example),and
 that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exerciseits right to
defer settlement of a liability

2. An agreement is obtained before year-end that allows repayment of the loan to be delayedbeyond the
12-month period after the reporting period.

If an agreement allowing repayment to be delayed beyond 12 months from the reporting date is
obtained, but it is obtained after the reporting date but before approval of the financial statements,
this would be a non-adjusting post-reporting period and could not be used as a reason to continue
classifying the liability as non-current. Thus:
 details of agreement obtained after reporting date would be disclosed in the notes; but
 the liability would have to remain classified as current.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Introduction
Notes contain information in addition to that presented in the statement of financial position, statement of
comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows.
Notes provide narrative descriptions of items in those statements and information about items thatdo not
qualify for recognition in those statements. They also explain how totals in those statementsare formed.
Structure

The notes to the financial statements of an entity must:


 Present information about the basis of preparation of the financial statements and the specific
accounting policies selected and applied for significant transactions and other significant events;
 Disclose the information required by ifrss that is not presented elsewhere in the financial statements;
and
 Provide additional information that is not presented on the face of the financial statements but is
relevant to an understanding of them.
Notes to the financial statements must be presented in a systematic manner. Each item on the face of the
statement of financial position, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and
statement of cash flows must be cross-referenced to any related information in the notes.

Notes are normally presented in the following order:


1. a statement of compliance with IFRS;
2. a summary of significant accounting policies applied;
3. supporting information for items presented on the face of each financial statement in the order in which
each financial statement and each line item is presented; and
4. other disclosures, including:
 contingent liabilities;
 non-financial disclosures, e.g. number of employees, event occurring after thebalance sheet date

755
etc

Disclosure of accounting policies


An entity must disclose the following in the summary of significant accounting policies:
1. The measurement basis (or bases) used in preparing the financial statements; and
2. The other accounting policies used that are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements.
3. The judgements (apart from those involving estimations) made by management in applying the
accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts of items recognised in the
financial statements. For example:
 When substantially all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of financial assetsand lease
assets are transferred to other entities;
 Whether, in substance, particular sales of goods are financing arrangements and therefore do not
give rise to revenue; and
 Whether the contractual terms of a financial asset give rise on specified dates to cashflows that are
solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Which policies?
Management must disclose those policies that would assist users in understanding how transactions, other
events and conditions are reflected in the reported financial performance and financial position.
If an IFRS allows a choice of policy, disclosure of the policy selected is especially useful.
Some standards specifically require disclosure of particular accounting policies. For example, IAS 16
requires disclosure of the measurement bases used for classes of property, plant and equipment.
It is also appropriate to disclose an accounting policy not specifically required by IFRSs, but selected and
applied in accordance with IAS 8. (See chapter 7).
Key measurement assumptions
An entity must disclose information regarding key assumptions about the future, and other key sources of
measurement uncertainty, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustmentto the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
In respect of those assets and liabilities, the notes must include details of:
 Their nature; and
 Their carrying amount as at the reporting date.

Examples of key assumptions disclosed are:


 Future interest rates;
 Future changes in salaries;
 Future changes in prices affecting other costs; and,
 Useful lives.

Examples of the types of disclosures made are:


 The nature of the assumption or other measurement uncertainty;
 The sensitivity of carrying amounts to the methods, assumptions and estimates underlying their
calculation, including the reasons for the sensitivity;
 The expected resolution of an uncertainty and the range of reasonably possible outcomes within the
next financial year in respect of the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities affected; and
 An explanation of changes made to past assumptions concerning those assets andliabilities, if the
uncertainty remains unresolved.

756
Other disclosures
An entity must disclose in the notes:
 The amount of dividends proposed or declared before the financial statements were authorised for
issue but not recognised as a distribution to owners during the period, and therelated amount per share;
and
 The amount of any cumulative preference dividends not recognised.

An entity must disclose the following, if not disclosed elsewhere in information published with the
financial statements:
 The domicile and legal form of the entity;
 A description of the nature of the entity’s operations and its principal activities; and
 The name of the parent and the ultimate parent of the group.
IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements
General purpose financial statements
Definition
General purpose financial statements (referred to as ‘financial statements’) are those intended to meet
the needs of users who are not in a position to require an entity to prepare reports tailored to their particular
information needs.

The financial statements published by large companies as part of their annual reports are general purpose
financial statements.

Objective
The objective of general purpose financial statements is to provide information about the financial
position, financial performance and cash flows of a company that is useful to a wide range of users in
making economic decisions.
Financial statements also show the results of the management’s stewardship of the resources entrusted
to it.

To meet this objective, financial statements provide information about an entity’s:


 Assets;
 Liabilities;
 Equity;
 Income and expenses, including gains and losses;
 Contributions by and distributions to owners in their capacity as owners; and
 Cash flows.

This information, along with other information in the notes, assists users of financial statements in predicting
the entity’s future cash flows and, in particular, their timing and certainty.

Complete set of financial statements [para 10]


IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements specifies what published ‘general-purpose’ financial
statements should include, and provides a format for a statement of financial position, statement of
comprehensive income, and statement of changes in equity.

A complete set of financial statements consists of:


 A statement of financial position (balance sheet) as at the end of the period;
 A statement of comprehensive income for the period;
 A statement of changes in equity for the period;
 A statement of cash flows for the period (covered in earlier studies); and
 Notes to these statements, consisting of a summary of significant accounting policies used by the entity

757
and other explanatory information; and
 Comparative information.

A company can use other use titles for the above statements.
Identification of financial statements [para 51]
Listed companies usually publish financial statements as part of an annual report.
The financial statements must be clearly identified and distinguished from other information in the same
published document. This is very important as the financial statements are audited whereas other
information in the annual report is not. Users must be able to identify the information that has been audited.
Each component of the financial statements must be properly identified with the following information
displayed prominently:
 the name of the reporting entity;
 whether the financial statements cover an individual entity or a group (consolidated accounts for
groups are described in later chapters);
 the date of the end of the reporting period or the period covered by the statement, whichever is
appropriate;
 the currency in which the figures are reported;
 the level of rounding used in the figures (for example, whether the figures thousands of rupees or
millions of rupees).

Reporting period
Financial statements should be presented at least annually. If an entity changes the date of the end of its
reporting period, and a reporting period longer or shorter than one year is used, its financial statements
should disclose:
 the period covered by the financial statements
 the reason why the period is not one year, and
 the fact that the comparative figures for the previous year are not comparable.

Elements of financial statements


The objective of financial reporting is to provide useful information. In order to be useful information
must be understandable. A large company enters into thousands of transactions so in order for users to be
able to understand the impact of these they must be summarised in some way.
Financial statements group transactions into broad classes according to their economic characteristics.

These broad classes are called the elements of financial statements


 The elements directly related to the measurement of financial position in the statement of financial
position are assets, liabilities and equity.
 The elements directly related to the measurement of performance in the statement of comprehensive
income are income and expenses.
GENERAL FEATURES OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Introduction
IAS 1 describes and provides guidance on the following general features of financial statements:
 Fair presentation and compliance with IFRSs
 Going concern
 Accrual basis of accounting
 Materiality and aggregation
 Offsetting
 Frequency of reporting
 Comparative information
 Consistency of presentation

758
Fair presentation and compliance with IFRSs
Disclosure of compliance [para 16]
An entity whose financial statements comply with IFRSs must disclose that fact.
Financial statements shall not be described as complying with IFRS unless they comply with all the
requirements of each applicable Standard and Interpretation.

Fair presentation [para 15]


Financial statements must present fairly the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an
entity.
This means that they must be a faithful representation of the effects of transactions and other events in
accordance with the definitions and recognition criteria for assets, liabilities, income and expenses set out
in IFRS.
The application of IFRSs, with additional disclosure when necessary, is presumed to result in financial
statements that achieve a fair presentation.

Fair presentation requires:

 The selection and application of accounting policies in accordance with IAS 8, Accounting Policies,
Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors;
 The presentation of information, including accounting policies, in a manner that provides relevant,
reliable, comparable and understandable information; and,
 The provision of additional disclosures when the particular requirements in IFRSs are insufficient to
enable users to understand the impact of particular transactions or other events on the entity’s financial
position and financial performance.

True and fair override [para 20 and 23]


In extremely rare circumstances, management might conclude that compliance with a requirement in IFRS
would be so misleading that it would conflict with the objective of financial statements set out in IFRS.

In these cases the requirement should not be followed as longs as the relevant regulatory framework
requires or otherwise does not prohibit this.
When an entity departs from a requirement in IFRS it must disclose:
 that management has concluded that the financial statements present fairly the entity’s financial
position, financial performance and cash flows;
 that it has complied with applicable IFRS except that it has departed from a particular requirement
to achieve a fair presentation; and
 details of the departure:
 the Standard (or Interpretation) from which the entity has departed and:
 the nature of the departure (including the treatment that is required by IFRS);
 the reason why that treatment would be so misleading in the circumstances that it would conflict
with the objective of financial statements set out in the “Framework”;
 the treatment adopted; and,
 for each period presented, the financial impact of the departure on each item in the financial
statements that would have been reported in complying with the requirement.

If the relevant regulatory framework prohibits departure from a requirement the entity must make the

759
following disclosures to reduce the misleading aspects of compliance “to the maximum extent possible”:
 The Standard (or Interpretation) requiring the entity to report information concluded to be
misleading and:
 The nature of the requirement;
 The reason why management has concluded that complying with that requirement is so misleading
in the circumstances that it conflicts with the objective of financial statements; and,
 For each period presented, the adjustments to each item in the financial statements that
management has concluded would be necessary to achieve a fair presentation.

Going concern [para 25]


Financial statements must be prepared on a going concern basis unless management either;
 Intends to liquidate the entity; or,
 To cease trading; or
 Has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Management must assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern when preparing financial
statements.
In making this assessment management must take into account all available information about the future.
(This is for at least twelve months from the reporting date).

Disclosures
If management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties related to events or conditions
that may cast significant doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, those uncertainties
must be disclosed.

If the financial statements are not prepared on a going concern basis, that fact must be disclosed, together
with:
 The basis on which the financial statements are prepared; and,
 The reason why the entity is not regarded as a going concern.

Example:
Healthy Oil Limited (HOL) was experiencing cash flow problems and had accumulated losses. It was
ready to declare bankruptcy and close operations all over Pakistan. The Federal government stepped in and
gave HOL a bailout as well as a guarantee. In normal circumstances, HOL would not be considered a
going concern, but since the Federal government stepped in, there is no reason to believe that HOL will
cease to operate.

Answer:
Results of management’s assessment of whether the entity is a going concern (GC): (see IAS 1.25)
If the entity is a going concern: If the entity is not a GC: If the entity is a GC but there is
significant doubt that it will be
continue operating as a GC:
The financial statements: The financial statements: The financial statements:
 are prepared on the GC  are not prepared on the GC basis:  are prepared on the GC
basis.  must include disclosure of the: basis;
o the fact that it is not a GC;  must include disclosure of
o the reason why the entity is not the;

760
considered to be a GC; o the material uncertainties
o the basis used to prepare the causing this doubt.
financial statements (e.g. the use
of liquidation values).

Accrual basis of accounting [para 27]


Financial statements (except for cash flow information) must be prepared under the accrual basis of
accounting.
Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are reported in the profit or loss account when they are
earned and expenses are matched with the related revenues and/or are reported when the expense occurs, not
when the cash is paid.
Materiality and aggregation [para 29]
Each material class of similar items must be presented separately in the financial statements.
Items of a dissimilar nature or function must be presented separately unless they are immaterial.
An item that is not sufficiently material to warrant separate presentation on the face of the financial
statements may nevertheless be sufficiently material for it to be presented separately in the notes.
Information is material if its non-disclosure could influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of the financial statements.
Materiality depends on the size and nature of the item or aggregation of items judged in the particular
circumstances of its omission.
Example: Materiality - Due to size
Tez Ltd’s total sales for the financial year 2017 amounts to Rs.100 million and its total assets are Rs.50
million. The company’s external auditors have found out that Rs.5 million worth of sales should not be
recognized in financial year 2017 because the risks and rewards inherent in the sales have not been
transferred.
This amount of Rs.5 million is material in the context of total assets of Rs.50 million. The company should
adjust its financial statements.
Examples: Materiality - Nature of the event
Hasan Ltd. operates in a country which is about to enact a new legislation which would seriously impair
the company's operations in future. Although there are no figures involved, the disclosure of the
development is required in the financial statements for the period on account of materiality because the
new legislation can potentially end the revenues and profits earned from the country.
Examples: Materiality - Nature of the event (continued)
The remuneration paid to a company’s executives and directors is material due to qualitative reasons (even
it is not material quantitatively). It is because the investors would like to make sure that the management is
not overcompensating itself.
The accounting policies are material and cannot be omitted because they help the users understand how the
management arrived at the amounts presented in the financial statements.
Offsetting [para 32]
Assets and liabilities must not be offset except when offsetting is required by another Standard.
The reporting of assets net of valuation allowances—for example, obsolescence allowances on inventories

761
and doubtful debts allowances on receivables—is not offsetting.
Items of income and expense must be offset when, and only when IFRS requires or permits it.
For example:
 gains and losses on the disposal of non-current assets are reported by deducting from the proceeds
on disposal the carrying amount of the asset and related selling expenses; and,
 expenditure that is reimbursed under a contractual arrangement with a third party (for example, a
subletting agreement) is netted against the related reimbursement.

Also gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions are reported on a net basis (for example,
foreign exchange gains and losses or gains and losses arising on financial instruments held for trading
purposes).
Such gains and losses must be reported separately if their size, nature or incidence is such that separate
disclosure is necessary for an understanding of financial performance.
Offsetting:
Illustration:
Offsetting is only allowed if permitted or required by an IFRS and ultimately results in reflecting the
substance of the transaction or event.
Required: Give an example of:
A. Offsetting of income and expenses that is required;
B. Offsetting of income and expenses that is allowed;
C. Offsetting of income and expenses that is not allowed;
D. Offsetting of assets and liabilities that is allowed; and
E. Offsetting of assets and liabilities that is not allowed.Solution
A. Setting-off of income and expenses that is required
When earning income from a sale in the ordinary activities (in which case the income is called revenue),
we are required to measure the revenue at the amount of consideration that the entity expects to receive.
This means that if we offer a discount or rebate (expense), then the revenue from the sale (income) must
be reflected net of the discount or rebate (expense). This is a requirement of IAS 15 Revenue from contracts
with customers.
B. Setting-off of income and expenses that is allowed:
If you sell a non-current asset (i.e. a sale that is incidental to the entity’s ordinary activities (i.e. an activity
that is not ordinary) and thus where the income is not called revenue), the amount of consideration from the
sale (income) may be set-off against the carrying amount of the asset (now expensed) to reflect the profit or
loss on the sale. Since this reflects the Substance of the transaction.
C. Setting-off of income and expenses that is not allowed:
When earning revenue from the sale of inventory (income), the related cost of the sale (expense) may not
be offset since, in terms of the relevant standard (IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements), revenue must
be disclosed separately.
D. Setting-off of assets and liabilities that is allowed:
If a person buys from us on credit (i.e. a debtor) and also sells to us on credit (i.e. a creditor), we could
offset the receivables (asset) and the payable (liability) if by offsetting these balances, we were showing

762
the substance of the transactions.
Offsetting of these balances would reflect the substance if, for example, we had an agreement that gives
us the legal right of set-off (i.e. only the net balance need be paid to or received from this person).
E. Setting-off of assets and liabilities that is not allowed:
If we owe the tax authorities an amount of VAT (i.e. VAT payable a liability) but the tax authorities owe
us a refund of income tax (i.e. Income tax receivable, an asset), we are not allowed to offset these liability
and asset balances unless the tax legislation allows VAT and Income Tax to be paid on a net basis. Since
this is not allowed in Pakistan, the offsetting of these balances is not allowed in Pakistan since it would
not reflect the substance of the transactions.

Frequency of reporting [para 36]


Financial statements must be presented at least annually.
When an entity’s reporting date changes its financial statements are presented for a period longer or shorter
than one year. In such cases an entity must disclose, in addition to the period covered by the financial
statements:
 The reason for using a period other than one year; and,
 The fact that amounts presented in the financial statements are not comparable.

Comparative information
Comparative information comes in following forms:
 Minimum comparative information; and
 Additional comparative information
Minimum comparative information
A company must disclose comparative information in respect of the previous period for all amounts
reported in the current period’s financial statements. An entity shall include comparative information for
narrative and descriptive information if it is relevant to understanding the current period’s financial
statements.
A company must present (as a minimum) two statements of financial position, two statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income, two statement of cash flows and two statement of changes in equity
and related notes. The minimum two statements comprise one for the current reporting period and one for
the previous period.
Additional comparative information
An entity may present comparative information in addition to the minimum comparative financial
statements required by IFRSs, as long as that information is prepared in accordance with IFRSs.
This comparative information may consist of one or more financial statements, but need not comprise a
complete set of financial statements. When this is the case, the entity shall present related note information
for those additional statements.
For example, an entity may present a third statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
(thereby presenting the current period, the preceding period and one additional comparative period).
However, the entity is not required to present a third statement of financial position, a third statement of
cash flows or a third statement of changes in equity (i.e. an additional financial statement comparative).
The entity is required to present, in the notes to the financial statements, the comparative information
related to that additional statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

763
Consistency of presentation
The presentation and classification of items in the financial statements must be retained from one period to
the next unless:
 a significant change in the nature of the operations of the entity or a review of its financial statement
presentation demonstrates that a change in presentation results in a more appropriate presentation of
transactions or other events; or
 a change in presentation is required by an IFRS.

STRUCTURE AND CONTENT OF THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION


Introduction
IFRS uses terms which are incorporated into this study text. However, it does not forbid the use of other
terms and you might see other terms used in practice.
IAS 1 sets out the requirements for information that must be presented in the statement of financial position
or in notes to the financial statements, and it also provides implementation guidance. This guidance
includes an illustrative format for a statement of financial position. This format is not mandatory but you
should learn it and use it wherever possible.
Current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current and non-current items should normally be presented separately in the statement of financial
position, so that:

current and non-current assets are divided into separate classifications; and

current and non-current liabilities are also classified separately.
Deferred tax balances must not be classified as current assets or current liabilities.

Alternative
A company is allowed to use a presentation based on liquidity instead of current/non-current if this
provides information that is reliable and more relevant. Financial institutions often use this approach.

Whichever method of presentation is used, a company must disclose the amount expected to be recovered
or settled after more than twelve months for each asset and liability that combines amounts expected to be
recovered or settled:

No more than twelve months after the reporting period, and

More than twelve months after the reporting period.

Current assets
IAS 1 states that an asset should be classified as a current asset if it satisfies any of the following criteria:
 The entity expects to realise the asset, or sell or consume it, its normal operating cycle.
 The asset is held for trading purposes.
 The entity expects to realise the asset within 12 months after the reporting period.
 It is cash or a cash equivalent. (Note: An example of ‘cash’ is money in a current bank account. An
example of a ‘cash equivalent’ is money held in a term deposit account with a bank.)

Examples of current assets include accounts receivable, inventories, cash etc. All other assets should be
classified as non-current assets.

764
Operating cycle
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash
or cash equivalents. When the entity's normal operating cycle is not clearly identifiable, it is assumed to be
twelve months.

Current assets include assets (such as inventories and trade receivables) that are sold, consumed or
realised as part of the normal operating cycle even when they are not expected to be realised within twelve
months after the reporting period.

Illustration:
X Limited uses small amounts of platinum in its production process.
Platinum price has fallen recently so just before its year-end X Limited bought an amount of platinum
sufficient to cover its production needs for the next two years.
This would be a current asset. The amount expected to be used after more than 12 months should be
disclosed.
Current assets also include assets held primarily for the purpose of trading and the current portion of non-
current financial assets.

Non-current assets
These are tangible, intangible and financial assets of a long-term nature.
Examples of non-current assets include property, plant and equipment, intangibles etc.

Current liabilities
IAS 1 also states that a liability should be classified as a current liability if it satisfies any of the following
criteria:
 The entity expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle.
 The liability is held primarily for the purpose of trading. This means that all trade payables are
current liabilities, even if settlement is not due for over 12 months after the end of the reporting
period.
 It is due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
 The entity does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12
months after the end of the reporting period.

All other liabilities should be classified as non-current liabilities.


Examples of current liabilities include accounts payable, accruals etc.
Examples of non-current liabilities include deferred tax liability, employment benefits etc.

Changing from non-current liability to current liability


Liabilities that were originally non-current may become current in a subsequent year, when they become
repayable within 12 months.

Example:
A company has a financial year end of 31 December. On 31 October Year 1, it took out a bank loan of Rs.
50,000. The loan principal is repayable as follows:
 Rs. 20,000 on 31 October Year 3
 Rs. 30,000 on 31 October Year 4

765
As at 31 December Year 1
The full bank loan of Rs. 50,000 will be a non-current liability

As at 31 December Year 2
A current liability of Rs. 20,000 repayable on 31 October Year 3 and a non-current liability of
Rs. 30,000 repayable on 31 October Year 4.

As at 31 December Year 3
Current liability of Rs. 30,000
There is an exception to this rule. A liability can continue to be shown as a long-term liability, even if it is
repayable within 12 months, if the entity has the ‘discretion’ or right to refinance (or ‘roll over’) the loan
at maturity.

STRUCTURE AND CONTENT OF THE STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME


A single statement or two statements
Total comprehensive income during a period is the sum of:
 The profit or loss for the period; and
 Other comprehensive income.

IAS 1 requires an entity to present all items of income and expense during a period in a statement of
comprehensive income. (now known as a statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income).

This may be presented as a single statement with two parts:


 A statement of profit or loss which shows the components of profit or loss (beginning with Revenue and
ending with Profit (or Loss) for the year; and
 A statement of other comprehensive income.
Alternatively these two parts can be presented as two separate statements. Whichever
approach is used the following must be shown:
 Profit or loss;
 Total other comprehensive income;
 Comprehensive income for the period (the total of profit or loss and other comprehensive income).

766
Ethical Issues in Financial Reporting

Example:
Ibrahim is member of ICAP working as a unit accountant.
He is a member of a bonus scheme under which, staff receive a bonus of 10% of their annual salary
if profit for the year exceeds a trigger level.
Ibrahim has been reviewing working papers prepared to support this year’s financial statements. He
has found a logic error in a spreadsheet used as a measurement tool for provisions.
Correction of this error would lead to an increase in provisions. This would decrease profit below the
trigger level for the bonus.
Analysis:
Ibrahim faces a self-interest threat which might distort his objectivity.
Ibrahim has a professional responsibility to ensure that financial information is prepared and
presented fairly, honestly and in accordance with relevant professional standards. He has further
obligations to ensure that financial information is prepared in accordance with applicable accounting
standards and that records maintained represent the facts accurately and completely in all material
respects.
Ibrahim must make the necessary adjustment even though it would lead to a loss to himself.

ICAP CODE OF ETHICS


Introduction
Ethics can be difficult to define but it is principally concerned with moral principles, character and
conduct. Ethical behaviour is more than obeying laws, rules and regulations. It is about doing ‘the
right thing’. The accountancy profession is committed to acting ethically and in the public interest.
Professional accountants may find themselves in situations where values are in conflict with one
another due to responsibilities to employers, clients and the public.
ICAP has a code of conduct which members and student members must follow. The code provides
guidance in situations where ethical issues arise.
Comment
Most people are honest and have integrity and will always try to behave in the right way in a given set
of circumstances. However, accountants might face situations where it is not easy to see the most
ethical course of action. One of the main roles of the ICAP code is to provide guidance in these
situations.

Impact on members in practice


All members and student members of ICAP are required to comply with the code of ethics and it
applies to both accountants in practice and in business.
ICAP-Code of ethics has been bifurcated into following parts:
Part 1: Complying with the Code, Fundamental Principles and Conceptual Framework (All Chartered
Accountants)
Part 2: Chartered Accountants in Practice Part 3: Chartered Accountants in Business

Part 4A - Independence for Audit and Review Engagements


Part 4B - Independence for Assurance Engagements other than Audit and Review

This chapter explains ethical issues surrounding the preparation of financial statements and other
financial information.
The fundamental principles
ICAP’s Code of Ethics expresses its guidance in terms of five fundamental principles. . These are:
 integrity;
 objectivity;
 professional competence and due care;
 confidentiality; and

767
 professional behaviour
Integrity
Members should be straightforward and honest in all professional and business relationships. Integrity
implies not just honesty but also fair dealing and truthfulness.
A chartered accountant should not be associated with reports, returns, communications or other
information where they believe that the information:
Contains a materially false or misleading statement;
Contains statements or information furnished recklessly; or
Omits or obscures information required to be included where such omission or obscurity
would be misleading.
Objectivity
Members should not allow bias, conflicts of interest or undue influence of others to override their
professional or business judgements.
A chartered accountant may be exposed to situations that may impair objectivity. It is impracticable to
define and prescribe all such situations.
Relationships that bias or unduly influence the professional judgment of the chartered accountant
should be avoided.

Professional competence and due care


Practising as a chartered accountant involves a commitment to learning over one’s entire working
life. Members have a duty to maintain their professional knowledge and skill at such a level that a
client or employer receives a competent service, based on current developments in practice,
legislation and techniques. Members should act diligently and in accordance with applicable
technical and professional standards.
Continuing professional development develops and maintains the capabilities that enable a chartered
accountant to perform competently within the professional environments.

Confidentiality
Members must respect the confidentiality of information acquired as a result of professional and
business relationships and should not disclose such information to third parties without authority or
unless there is a legal or professional right or duty to disclose.

Confidential information acquired as a result of professional and business relationships should not be
used for the personal advantage of members or third parties.
Professional behaviour
Members must comply with relevant laws and regulations and should avoid any action which
discredits the profession. They should behave with courtesy and consideration towards all with whom
they come into contact in a professional capacity.

Threats to the fundamental principles


Compliance with the fundamental principles may potentially be threatened by a broad range of
circumstances. Many threats fall into the following categories:
Self-interest;
Self-review;
Advocacy;
Familiarity; and
Intimidation.
Members must identify, evaluate and respond to such threats. Unless any threat is clearly
insignificant, members must implement safeguards to eliminate the threats or reduce them to an
acceptable level so that compliance with the fundamental principles is not compromised.
Self- interest threats
Self-interest threats may occur as a result of the financial or other interests of members or their
immediate or close family members.
Such financial interests might cause members to be reluctant to take actions that would be against their
own interests.
Examples of circumstances that may create self-interest threats include, but are not limited to:
Incentive compensation arrangements.
Concern over employment security.
768
Commercial pressure from outside the employing organization.
Self-review threats
Self-review threats occur when a previous judgement needs to be re-evaluated by members
responsible for that judgement. For example, where a member has been involved in maintaining the
accounting records of a client he may be unwilling to find fault with the financial statements derived
from those records. Again, this would threaten the fundamental principle of objectivity.
Circumstances that may create self-review threats include, but are not limited to, business decisions or
data being subject to review and justification by the same chartered accountant in business responsible
for making those decisions or preparing that data.
Advocacy threats
A chartered accountant in business may often need to promote the organisations position by providing
financial information. As long as information provided is neither false nor misleading such actions
would not create an advocacy threat.
Familiarity threats
Familiarity threats occur when, because of a close relationship, members become too sympathetic to
the interests of others. Examples of circumstances that may create familiarity threats include:
A chartered accountant in business in a position to influence financial or non-financial
reporting or business decisions having an immediate or close family member who is in a
position to benefit from that influence.
Long association with business contacts influencing business decisions.
Acceptance of a gift or preferential treatment, unless the value is clearly insignificant.
Intimidation threats
Intimidation threats occur when a member’s conduct is influenced by fear or threats (for example,
when he encounters an aggressive and dominating individual at a client or at his employer).
Examples of circumstances that may create intimidation threats include:
Threat of dismissal or replacement over a disagreement about the application of an
accounting principle or the way in which financial information is to be reported.
A dominant personality attempting to influence decisions of the chartered
accountant.
PREPARATION AND REPORTING OF INFORMATION
Accountants in business
Accountants in business are often responsible for the preparation of accounting information.
Accountants in business need to ensure that they do not prepare financial information in a way that is
misleading or that does not show a true and fair view of the entity’s operations.
Accountants who are responsible for the preparation of financial information must ensure that the
information they prepare is technically correct, reports the substance of the transaction and is
adequately disclosed.
There is a danger of influence from senior managers to present figures that inflate profit or assets or
understate liabilities. This puts the accountant in a difficult position. On one hand, they wish to
prepare proper information and on the other hand, there is a possibility they might lose their job if
they do not comply with their managers wishes.
In this case, ethics starts with the individual preparing the information. They have a difficult
decision to make; whether to keep quiet or take the matter further. If they keep quiet, they will
certainly be aware that they are not complying with the ethics of the accounting body they belong to.
If they speak out, they may be bullied at work into changing the information or sacked.
Section 220 of the ICAP Code of Ethics
Users of information prepared and presented by a Chartered Accountant:
Chartered accountants in business at all levels are often involved in the preparation and presentation
of information that may either be made public or used by others inside or outside the employing
organisation including:
Management and those charged with governance(i.e board of directors including supervisory
board having non executive directors).

Investors and lenders or other creditors.

Regulatory bodies (SECP or SBP).


769
Types of information prepared and presented by a Chartered Accountant:
Such information may include financial or management information, for example:

Operating and performance reports.

Decision support analyses (like trend and ratio analysis in annual reports)
Forecasts and budgets;
Information provided to the internal and external auditors.
Risk analyses.
General and special purpose financial statements (e.g. forcasted financial statement to be
provided to financial institutions to obtain the financing).
Tax returns.

Reports filed with regulatory bodies for legal and compliance purposes.

Basic principals in preparing and presenting information:


When preparing or presenting information, a chartered accountant shall:
a. Prepare or present the information in accordance with a relevant reporting framework
(like IFRS and Companies Act 2017), where applicable (if budgets or ratio analysis is
prepared and presented then there is no such reporting frameworks);
b. Prepare or present the information in a manner that is intended neither to mislead nor to
influence contractual or regulatory outcomes inappropriately;
c. Exercise professional judgment to:
 Represent the facts accurately and completely in all material
respects;
 Describe clearly the true nature of business transactions or
activities;
 Classify and record information in a timely and proper manner; and
 Not omit anything with the intention of rendering the information
misleading or of influencing contractual or regulatory outcomes
inappropriately.
Use of Discretion in Preparing or Presenting Information
(Sometimes IFRS provide options e.g. FIFO or weighted average; cost model or revaluation
model etc.)
Preparing or presenting information might require the exercise of discretion in making professional
judgments. The chartered accountant shall not exercise such discretion with the intention of
misleading others or influencing contractual or regulatory outcomes inappropriately.
Examples of ways in which discretion might be misused to achieve inappropriate outcomes
include:
a. Determining estimates, for example, determining fair value estimates (different property
dealers are providing different fair values of property) in order to misrepresent profit or loss.
b. Selecting or changing an accounting policy or method among two or more alternatives
permitted under the applicable financial reporting framework, for example, selecting a policy
for accounting for inventories in order to misrepresent profit or loss.
c. Determining the timing of transactions, for example, timing the sale of an asset near the
end of the accounting year in order to mislead.(e.g. changing the revenue recognition policy
from delivery of goods to dispatch of goods)

770
d. Determining the structuring of transactions, for example, structuring financing
transactions in order to misrepresent assets and liabilities or classification of cash flows.(e.g
classifying the lease agreements as low value asset leases or vice versa or repurchase
agreements)
e. Selecting disclosures, for example, omitting or obscuring (conceal) information relating to
financial or operating risk in order to mislead.(e.g. non disclosure of possible contingencies and
commitments)
If in certain situations compliance with relevant reporting framework is not required then
chartered accountant should exercise his professional judgment:
When performing professional activities, especially those that do not require compliance with a
relevant reporting framework (e.g. when preparing budgets or forecasts), the chartered accountant
shall exercise professional judgment to identify and consider:
(a) The purpose for which the information is to be used (e.g. planning);
(b) The context within which it is given (e.g. organization as a whole or
departments); and
(c) The audience to whom it is addressed(e.g. departmental heads or BOD).
For example, when preparing or presenting budgets or forecasts, the inclusion of relevant estimates,
approximations and assumptions, where appropriate, would enable those who might rely on such
information to form their own judgments.
The chartered accountant might also consider clarifying the intended audience, context and purpose
of the information to be presented.

Relying on the Work of Others (revaluation report of valuers whether internal or external to
comply with IAS 16 or Actuaries in case of employee benefit plans like pension and
Gratuities or lawyers when applying IAS 37)
A chartered accountant who intends to rely on the work of others, either internal or external to the
employing organization, shall exercise professional judgment to determine what steps to take, if any,
in order to fulfill his responsibilities
Factors to consider in determining whether reliance on others is reasonable include:
The reputation and expertise of, and resources available to, the other individual or
organization.
Whether the other individual is subject to applicable professional and ethics standards.(means
whether his professional body has adopted any professional and ethical standards like ICAP)

From where a Chartered accountant can obtain above information [Actions to be taken in such
a situation]:
Such information might be gained from prior association with, or from consulting others about, the
other individual or organization.
Addressing Information that is or Might be Misleading
When the chartered accountant knows or has reason to believe that the information with which the
accountant is associated is misleading, the accountant shall take appropriate actions to seek to
resolve the matter including:
1. Discussing concerns that the information is misleading with the chartered accountant’s
superior and/or the appropriate level(s) of management within the accountant’s
employing organization or those charged with governance, and requesting such individuals
to take appropriate action to resolve the matter. Such action might include:
 Having the information corrected.
 If the information has already been disclosed to the intended users,
informing them of the correct information.
771
2. Consulting the policies and procedures of the employing organization (for example, an
ethics or whistle-blowing policy) regarding how to address such matters internally.
If employing organization has not taken appropriate action:
The chartered accountant might determine that the employing organization has not taken appropriate
action. If the accountant continues to have reason to believe that the information is misleading, the
following further actions might be appropriate provided that the accountant remains alert to the
principle of confidentiality:
Consulting with:
a. A relevant professional body (e.g. ICAP).
b. The internal or external auditor of the employing organization.
c. Legal counsel (legal Advisors).
d. Determining whether any requirements exist to communicate to:
 Third parties, including users of the information.
 Regulatory and oversight authorities (SECP and SBP to disclose
fraudulent practices).
After exhausting all options:
If after exhausting all feasible options, the chartered accountant determines that appropriate action
has not been taken and there is reason to believe that the information is still misleading then:
1. The accountant shall refuse to be or to remain associated with the information.
2. In such circumstances, it might be appropriate for a chartered accountant to resign from the
employing organization.

Documentation (Create an evidence)


The chartered accountant is encouraged to document:
a. The facts.
b. The accounting principles or other relevant professional standards involved.
c. The communications and parties with whom matters were discussed.
d. The courses of action considered.
e. How the accountant attempted to address the matter(s).

Q.5
773
Ali and Bashir are chartered accountants and have been working as Managing Director (MD) and
Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in a listed company. In a recent meeting of the Board, the directors
have decided to expand the business within six months by opening 20 retail outlets. This expansion
would require financing of Rs. 300 million which may be arranged through bank loan.
MD has advised the CFO to arrange the loan from MN Bank. He has also informed that the President of
the bank is his good friend and the loan can be arranged on a fast track basis at a mark-up of 15% per
annum, subject to the following conditions:
1. current ratio and quick ratio should be at least 2:1 and 1:1 respectively;
2. gearing ratio should not exceed 40%; and
3. interest cover should be at least 3.

CFO is not comfortable with this deal as the mark-up offered by the bank is much higher than the
rate on the existing loan and it is difficult for the company to meet the gearing requirements of the
bank. However, MD has asked him to make certain changes in the draft financial statements before
submission to the bank; which according to the CFO are not in accordance with the IFRSs.
Required: Briefly explain how the MD may be in breach of fundamental principles of ICAP’s code
of Ethics. Also state the potential threats that CFO may face along with available safeguards.
Q.6
On receiving the revised financial statements, the CEO called Faraz and briefed him in the following
manner:
“Since the position of the CFO is vacant, I intend to promote you as CFO. Company has been
through a rough year and has some disappointing results but a reasonable profit needs to be reported
for the mutual benefit of all stakeholders. Moreover, the financial statements would also be
scrutinized by the bank to ensure that the loan covenants are met which include maintaining total
assets at 1.5 times the total liabilities.
Therefore, I want you to confirm the draft financial statements without making any adjustment for
presentation before the Board and submission to the bank.”
Required: Identify the threats faced by Faraz along with available safeguards Q.7
Waheed is a chartered accountant, recently employed by AA Public limited Company as deputy to
the finance director, Arif (also a chartered accountant). AA Public limited Company is listed on the
Pakistan stock exchange.
On Waheed’s first day on the job he met with Arif who said ‘Look, keep it to yourself but I’m having
a second interview next week for a new job. The first thing that I need you to do is to review the
financial statements before the auditors arrive. I qualified a few years ago and am not up to date on all
of the little technicalities in IFRS. You should know these better than me and you’ll know more
about what the auditors might focus on. We must do our best to present the financial statements in the
most favourable light as the bonus paid to employees (including me) depends on profit being more
than 10% bigger than last year’s and remember that you qualify for this too. Keep this in mind when
you carry out the review as we do not really want to find anything. Do well at this and I might put in a
good word for you when I leave as I’m sure you’ll be a great replacement for me.”
Required:
Brief explain how Arif may be in breach of the fundamental principles of ICAP’s code of Ethics.
Also state the potential threats that Waheed may face in the above circumstances and how he should

Pakistan Stock Exchange.

774
Consequently, CFO wants to show higher profit and has asked Atif to identify areas where book
adjustments can be made. He has also informed that if MNZ is able to list the shares at a price of Rs.
35 or more, all managerial staff would be given an additional bonus this year.
Required:
Briefly explain how the CFO is in breach of the fundamental principles of ICAP’s code of ethics. Also
state the potential threats that Atif may face under the above circumstances and how he should
respond.

Ans.1 Chartered Accountants should be straight forward and honest in all professional and business
relationships. Since the CEO advised Usman to process the payment about which Usman believes
that the said payment is unreasonable and would be made to obtain a sales contract, therefore he is
in breach of principle of integrity and professional behavior.
In the given circumstances, the decision of CEO may also induce lack of objectivity due to the
expected bonuses to the management.
Self interest threat faced by Usman
Usman might get influenced by the CEO due to the expected bonus therefore he might process the
payment in his own self interest.
Intimidation threat faced by Usman
Usman may have to leave this job if the disagreement continues.
Available safeguards
Where it is not possible to reduce the threats to an acceptable level, Usman:
i. should refuse to sign the cheque / refuse to associate with the transaction.
ii. should consider informing appropriate authorities like Audit Committee.
iii. consult the policies and procedures of the company with respect to ethics or
whistle blowing policy to address the matter internally
iv. Consider consulting with the relevant professional body, internal or
external auditor, legal council or informing third parties or appropriate
authorities in line with the ICAP guidance on confidentiality.
v. should resign.

A.2 Mr. Zia breached the following fundamental principles of ICAP code of ethics:
(i) Confidentiality
Under the Code of Ethics, member must respect the confidentiality of information
acquired as a result of professional and business relationship. Confidential information
acquired should not be used for the personal advantage by a member.
In the above scenario, Mr Zia has breached the principle of confidentiality by using
the confidential information for the personal advantage since the information was not
publicly available.

(ii) Professional behaviour


Under the Code of Ethics, member must comply with relevant laws and regulations and
should avoid any action which discredits the profession.
Since it can be a non compliance of laws and regulation, he may be in breach of the
principle of professional behaviour.
Potential threats involved in the circumstances:
Self interest threat
Since Mr. Zia is part of a team which is negotiating the price of the shares and he has purchased
shares in the name of his wife and son, it creates self interest threat and he would be reluctant to take
any decision that would be against his own interest.(i.e. non-acquisiton of TSL).

Ans.3 In the given situation, CFO may be in breach of:


(i) Principle of Professional behavior:

775
This principle imposes an obligation on all chartered accountants to comply with
relevant laws and regulations and avoid any action that discredits the profession.
According to Zahoor, Shahid revealed inside information to him which is non-
compliance of regulations pertaining to inside information and his act may discredit
the profession as well. As a result Shahid has breached this principle.
(ii) Principle of confidentiality:
This principle imposes an obligation on all chartered accountants to refrain from using
confidential information acquired as a result of professional and business relationships
to their personal advantage or the advantage of third parties.

In given scenario, Shahid misused the confidential information for the advantage of his friend so
Shahid has breached this principle.

Threats faced by Baqir


i. Intimidation threat:
Baqir may face intimidation threat from his superior if he raises objection on non-
compliance of regulations by Shahid.
ii. Familiarity Threat:
Baqir may also face familiarity threat as his interest towards friendship with Zahoor
may be at stake if he refuses to disclose (confirm or deny) the confidential information
to him.
Available safeguards for Baqir:
a. He should refrain himself from disclosing any confidential information to his friend.

b. He should discuss the concerned issue with Shahid.

c. He should consider informing appropriate authorities like Audit Committee/CEO.

d. consult the policies and procedures of the company with respect to ethics or whistle blowing
policy to address the matter internally
e. Consider consulting with the relevant professional body, internal or external auditor, legal
council or informing third parties or appropriate authorities in line with the ICAP guidance
on confidentiality.
f. should resign.

Ans.4 In the given situation, CFO may be in breach of :


i. Principle of professional behavior:
This principle imposes an obligation on all chartered accountants to avoid any action
that the chartered accountant knows or should know may discredit the profession. CFO
should have avoided discussing his personal interest in official meeting.
ii. Principle of objectivity:
Chartered Accountant should not compromise their professional or business judgment
because of bias, conflict of interest or the undue influence of others. In this
circumstance, he has compromised his professional and business judgment due to his
personal interest as he requested the EVP to consider application of his son who has
applied for house financing in USB.
iii. Principle of integrity:
Chartered Accountant should be straight forward and honest in all professional and
business relationship. It seems that CFO may be inclined to accept higher mark-up rate
as compared to existing rate being paid by CL, resulting breach of integrity.
Intimidation threat faced by Mr. Umer
Umer may face intimidation threat from his superior if he would raise his objection on acceptance of
higher mark-up rate offered by the Bank specially where his superior i.e. Abid is a relative of
principal shareholder too.

776
In addition he may also face self interest threat regarding his job.
Available safeguards
If this threat is significant Umer should consult with superiors within the organization in order to
eliminate or reduce it to an acceptable level.
Where it is not possible to reduce the threats to an acceptable level, Umer should refuse to associate
with this financing arrangement and take the following appropriate steps:
i. should consider informing appropriate authorities like Audit Committee /
CEO;
ii. consult the policies and procedures of the company with respect to ethics or
whistle blowing policy to address the matter internally;
iii. consider consulting with the relevant professional body, internal or external
auditor, legal council or informing third parties or appropriate authorities in
line with the ICAP guidance on confidentiality;
iv. should resign.
Answer 5:
In this situation, the existence of threats to fundamental principles will depend on following
factors:
 Whether financing from other banks is available at lower mark up;
 Whether it is feasible to borrow @15% for the expansion.

If financing from other banks is available or it may not be feasible to finance the project at the rate of
15%, and still MD is pressurizing the CFO to obtain financing at higher rate of mark-up the MD
may be in breach of:
Principle of objectivity
It can be a bias decision on part of MD, as he may be favoring his friend who is the president of the
bank or may have any other interest in taking loan from that particular bank.
Principle of integrity
MD may be in breach of principle of integrity because he is asking CFO to manipulate the financial
information.
Potential threat to CFO:
Preparation of financial information as per the instructions of MD, will result in intimidation
threat to integrity and objectivity.
Available safeguards
Identified threat is significant as the CFO is being instructed from the highest level of management. In
order to reduce the threat to an acceptable level, the following safeguards should be applied:
 Consult with superiors such as audit committee or those charged with
governance.
 Consult the policies and procedures of the company with respect to ethics
or whistle blowing policy to address the matter internally.
 Consider consulting with the relevant professional body, internal or
external auditor, legal council or informing third parties or appropriate
authorities in line with the ICAP guidance on confidentiality.
 Where it is not possible to reduce the threat to an acceptable level, CFO
shall refuse to be remain associated with the financial information and
consider resigning from the post of CFO.

A.6

777
In the given situation, Faraz may face following threats:
i. Self-interest threat
Self-interest threat occurs as Faraz has been told by the CEO that he would be promoted to CFO.
ii. Intimidation threat
Faraz may have to quit this job if he would not confirm the draft financial statement as per CEO’s
instructions.

The range of comments made by Arif raises questions over his ethical behaviour and professional
standards.
A chartered accountant should be unbiased when involved in preparing and reviewing financial
information. A chartered accountant should prepare financial statements fairly, honestly, and in
accordance with relevant professional standards and must not be influenced by considerations of the
impact of reported results.
Arif’s breach of fundamental principles:
Principle of Integrity:
Arif appears to be influenced by the need to achieve a specified level of profit. This is not appropriate
and calls his integrity into question.
Principle of Professional competence
In addition, Arif’s professional competence seems to be suspect. His comment on not being up to
date on all of the little technicalities in IFRS s suggests that he has not maintained a level of
professional competence appropriate to his professional role.
ICAP members have a responsibility to engage in continuing professional development in order to
ensure that their technical knowledge and professional skills are kept up to date. Arif should seek
continuing professional development activities and improve his knowledge on ethical standards.
Furthermore, it might be expected that as Waheed’s superior he should set an example to Waheed
and guide him in his responsibilities. Clearly this is not happening.
Principle of Professional behavior:
As a member of ICAP Arif should be aware of the ICAP code of ethics. Arif should know of the
danger of self-interest threats and intimidation threats to himself and to others. His attempt to
influence the outcome of a fellow professional by applying such a threat to that individual is very
unprofessional.
Waheed’s Threats:
Self interest threat

778
Waheed faces a self-interest threat, in that there is the possibility of a bonus provided profit being
more than 10% bigger than last year’s. Arif has also suggested that he can influence the Board’s
decision over employing him as a replacement finance director – another self-interest threat to
Waheed. Both of these threats must be ignored.
Available safeguards
Arif’s comments imply that his application of professional responsibility is lacking. This may extend
into the way in which the current financial statements have been prepared. Waheed must be very
careful (as always) to carry out the review with all due care.
Waheed should first discuss his recommendations with Arif and remind him of his professional
responsibilities to ensure that the accounting standards are correctly followed. If the financial
statements are found to contain errors or incorrect accounting treatment, then they must be amended.
If Arif refuses to amend the draft financial statements, if necessary, Waheed should take appropriate
actions to resolve the matter including:
 should report the matter to the audit committee or the other directors;
 -consult the policies and procedures of the company with respect to ethics
or whistle blowing policy to address the matter internally;
 consider consulting with the relevant professional body, internal or external
auditor, legal council or informing third parties or appropriate authorities in
line with the ICAP guidance on confidentiality.
 Should resign.

In given situation, CFO is in breach of:
1. Principle of integrity:

Chartered Accountant should be straight forward and honest in all professional and business
relationship. Since he asked Accounts manager to identify the areas where through
adjustments, profit may be reported on higher side, he has breached the principle of integrity.
2. Principle of professional behaviour:
This principle imposes an obligation on all chartered accountants to avoid any action that the
chartered accountant knows or should know may discredit the profession. Since CFO asked
Accounts Manager for booking the adjustments to increase the current year profit, which
have a negative effect on the reputation of the profession.
3. Principle of objectivity:

Chartered Accountant should not compromise their professional or business judgment


because of bias, conflict of interest or the undue influence of others. In this circumstance, he
has compromised his professional and business judgment due to biasness.
Self-interest threat faced by Mr. Atif
Self-interest threat occurs as a result of financial or other interest of members or their immediate
family member. In this case, he has been told by the CFO that he would be given an additional bonus
this year so he faces self-interest threat.Available safeguards
If this threat is significant Atif should consult with superiors within the organisation in order to
eliminate or reduce it to an acceptable level.
Where it is not possible to reduce the threats to an acceptable level, Atif:
ii. should refuse to remain associated with information which is or may be
misleading;
iii. should consider informing directors;
iv.consult the policies and procedures of the company with respect to ethics or
whistle blowing policy to address the matter internally;
v. consider consulting with the relevant professional body, internal or external

ETHICAL ISSUES IN FINANCIAL REPORTING
Serving employers with professional competence requires the exercise of sound judgment in
applying professional knowledge and skill when undertaking professional activities. Maintaining
professional competence requires a continuing awareness and an understanding of relevant technical,
professional and business developments. Continuing professional development enables a chartered
accountant to develop and maintain the capabilities to perform competently within the professional
environment.
Diligence encompasses the responsibility to act in accordance with the requirements of an
assignment, carefully, thoroughly and on a timely basis. A chartered accountant shall take reasonable
steps to ensure that those working in a professional capacity under the accountant’s authority have
appropriate training and supervision.
Where appropriate, a chartered accountant shall make employers or other users of the accountant’s
professional services or activities, aware of the limitations inherent in the services or activities.
When a chartered accountant becomes aware of having been associated with misleading or false
information, the accountant shall take steps to be disassociated from that information.
Confidentiality
The principle of confidentiality requires an accountant to respect the confidentiality of information
acquired as a result of professional and business relationships. Confidentiality serves the public
interest because it facilitates the free flow of information from the chartered accountant’s client or
employing organization to the accountant in the knowledge that the information will not be
disclosed to a third party.
A chartered accountant shall continue to comply with the principle of confidentiality even after the
end of the relationship between the accountant and a client or employing organization. An
accountant might use his experience while respecting the confidentiality of information.
An accountant shall:
 Be alert to the possibility of inadvertent disclosure, including in a social environment, and
particularly to a close business associate or an immediate or a close family member;
 Maintain confidentiality of information within the firm or employing organization or disclosed
by a prospective employing organization;
 Not disclose confidential information acquired as a result of professional and business
relationships outside employing organization (even after the relationship has ended).
 Not use confidential information acquired as a result of professional and business relationships
for the personal advantage of the accountant or for the advantage of a third party (even after the
relationship has ended).
 Take reasonable steps to ensure that personnel under the accountant’s control, and individuals
from whom advice and assistance are obtained, respect the accountant’s duty of confidentiality.
The following are circumstances where chartered accountants are or might be required to disclose
confidential information or when such disclosure might be appropriate:
 Disclosure is required by law.

 Disclosure is permitted by law and authorized by the client or employing organisation.


 Disclosure is not prohibited by law and there is professional duty or right to disclose.
Professional behavior
The principle of professional behavior requires an accountant to comply with relevant laws and
regulations and avoid any conduct that the accountant knows or should know might discredit the
profession. A chartered accountant shall not knowingly engage in any business, occupation or
activity that impairs or might impair the integrity, objectivity or good reputation of the profession,
and as a result would be incompatible with the fundamental principles.
Conduct that might discredit the profession includes conduct that a reasonable and informed third
party would be likely to conclude adversely affects the good reputation of the profession.
► Example

781
Ali is a chartered accountant recruited on a short-term contract to assist the finance director, Bashir
(who is not a chartered accountant) in finalising the draft financial statements.
The decision on whether to employ Ali on a permanent basis rests with Bashir.
Ali has been instructed to prepare information on leases to be included in the financial statements. He
has identified a number of large leases which are being accounted for as rental arrangements even
though the terms of the contract contain clear indicators that the risks and benefits have passed to the
company and applying IFRS 16, right of use asset and lease liability should have been recorded.
Changing the accounting treatment for the leases would have a material impact on asset and liability
figures.
Ali has explained this to Bashir. Bashir responded that Ali should ignore this information as the
company need to maintain a certain ratio between the assets and liabilities in the statement of
financial position.
Required: Discuss the responsibility of Ali and suggest course of action.
Answer:
Ali faces a self-interest threat which might distort his objectivity. The current accounting treatment is
incorrect.
Ali has a professional responsibility to ensure that financial information is prepared and presented
fairly, honestly and in accordance with relevant professional standards. He has further obligations to
ensure that financial information is prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and
that records maintained represent the facts accurately and completely in all material respects.
Example
Etishad is a chartered accountant who works in a team that reports to Fahad, the finance director of
Kohat Holdings. Fahad Is also a chartered accountant. He has a domineering personality.
Kohat Holdings revalue commercial properties as allowed by IAS 16. Valuation information
received last year showed that the fair value of the property portfolio was 2% less than the carrying
amount of the properties (with no single property being more than 4% different). A downward
revaluation was not recognised on the grounds that the carrying amount was not materially different
from the fair value.
This year’s valuation shows a continued decline in the fair value of the property portfolio. It is now
5% less than the carrying amount of the properties with some properties now being 15% below the
carrying amount.
Etishad submitted workings to Fahad in which he had recognised the downward revaluations in
accordance with IAS 16. Fahad has sent him an email in response in which he wrote “Stop bothering
me with this rubbish. There is no need to write the properties down. The fair value of the portfolio is
only 5% different from its carrying amount. Restate the numbers immediately”.
Required: Discuss the issue, responsibility and course of action from the perspective of Etishad.
Answer
Etishad faces an intimidation threat which might distort his objectivity.
The current accounting treatment might be incorrect. The value of the properties as a group is
irrelevant in applying IAS 16’s revaluation model. IAS 16 allows the use of a revaluation model but
requires that the carrying amount of a property should not be materially different from its fair value.
This applies to individual properties not the whole class taken together.
(It could be that Fahad is correct because there is insufficient information to judge materiality in this
circumstance. However, a 15% discrepancy does sound significant).
Etishad has a professional responsibility to ensure that financial information is prepared and
presented fairly, honestly and in accordance with relevant professional standards. He has further
obligations to ensure that financial information is prepared in accordance with applicable accounting
standards and that records maintained represent the facts accurately and completely in all material
respects.

► Example
Fortune Limited (FL) is quoted on the stock exchange, with revenue of over Rs. 5 billion per annum.
During the year ended 30 June 2015, FL has incurred a loss of Rs. 26 million.
The Chief Executive is of the view that declaration of loss may result in the bankers’ refusal to
renew the credit facility. Therefore, he wants to incorporate certain adjustments in the books of
account that will result in a net profit of Rs. 100 million. However, the Chief Financial Officer
782
(CFO), who is a chartered accountant, is of the view that all possible adjustments allowable under
the applicable accounting regulations have already been considered and incorporated.
Required: Identify the categories of threats to the fundamental principles of objectivity or
professional competence and due care, that may be created in the above situation and discuss the
safeguards available to the CFO in this respect, under the ICAP’s Code of Ethics.
Answer:
Threats to fundamental principles
The situation may create following threats to the fundamental principles of objectivity or
professional competence and due care:
• Self-interest (employment)
• Intimidation (actual or perceived pressure from CEO) Safeguards available to the CFO:
In order to reduce the threat to an acceptable level, the following safeguards should be applied:
• Consult with superiors such as audit committee.
• Consult the policies and procedures of the company with respect to ethics or whistle blowing
policy to address the matter internally.
• Consider consulting with the relevant professional body, internal or external auditor, legal
counsel or informing third parties or appropriate authorities in line with the ICAP guidance on
confidentiality.
• Where it is not possible to reduce the threat to an acceptable level, CFO shall refuse to be
remain associated with the financial information and consider resigning from the post of CFO.
► Example
Amir Ali, ACA is CFO at Circle Limited (CL) and reports to Junaid, FCA who is the CEO.
The financial year of CL ends on 30 April and its profit for the nine months ended 31 January 2019
was below target. In a management meeting held in February 2019, Junaid has proposed the
following measures to improve the results.
(i) Annual maintenance of the manufacturing plant which is due in March 2019 should be
deferred to May 2019. Production manager has warned that the deferral may affect the safety of the
plant. However, Junaid is of the view that the maintenance was delayed two years ago as well and
nothing adverse happened at that time.
(ii) Incorporation of the new revaluation report of CL’s buildings should be deferred to the next
year as the resulting increase in valuation is substantial and would result in increase in the
deprecation for the year. Amir had initiated the revaluation during the year since the fair values of
the buildings had increased materially. Junaid is of the view that the buildings were revalued last year
and there is no need of such frequent revaluations.
Due to the dominant nature of Junaid, none of the participants opposed his views. The summary to
implement the above actions has been received by Amir.
Amir has recently applied for an interest free car loan from CL which is expected to be approved in
few days. Required: Briefly explain how Junaid may be in breach of the fundamental principles of
Code of Ethics for Chartered Accountants. Also state the potential threats that Amir may face in the
above circumstances and how he should respond.
Answer:
Breach by CEO Mr. Junaid
In the given situation, Junaid may be in breach of the following fundamental principles of Code of
Ethics for Chartered Accountants:
Professional behaviour: This principle imposes an obligation on all chartered accountants to
comply with relevant laws and regulations and avoid any action that discredits the profession. Junaid
has breached this principle as his proposed suggestion in respect of incorporation of the new
revaluation report is not in accordance with IAS 16. Under IAS 16, carrying amount of property
carried at revaluation model should not be materially different from its fair value so his proposal is
against the requirement of IAS 16.
Integrity: Chartered Accountant should be straight forward and honest in all professional and
business relationship. It seems that Junaid’s decision to defer the maintenance of plant despite
warning of production manager in terms of safety of plant and non-incorporation of new annual
report in financial statement would make them misleading.
Objectivity: Chartered Accountant should not compromise his professional or business judgment
because of bias, conflict of interest or the undue influence of others. In this circumstance, he has
783
compromised his professional and business judgment by proposing unethical/unlawful measures to
just improve the falling profit of the company.

Potential threats faced by Amir:


Amir may face following threats:
Self-interest threat: Amir may face self-interest threat as the disbursement of his car loan may be at
stake if he refuses to obey the instructions.
Intimidation threat: Amir may face intimidation threat from Junaid as refusal to obey instruction
may risk his job. Identified threats are significant as the CFO is being instructed from the highest
level of management.
Response / Actions:
In order to reduce the threat to an acceptable level, Amir should:
• Discuss the matter with CEO and persuade him to follow code of ethics.
• Refuse to implement the given proposals.
If Junaid does not follow code of ethics and forces him to implement the proposal, Amir should
refuse to associate with these proposals and take the following appropriate steps:
• should consider informing superiors like Audit Committee / directors;
• consult the policies and procedures of the company with respect to ethics or whistle blowing
policy to address the matter internally;
• consider consulting with the relevant professional body, internal or external auditor, legal
counsel or informing third parties or appropriate authorities in line with the ICAP guidance on
confidentiality;
• should resign.
