
FASB Conceptual Framework - defines the objectives and concepts that underlie
financial reporting and makes them USEFUL to the end user:
o 2 Primary Qualitative Characteristics (Roger tries to be PC even though he’s
MATERIAListic. He is never on the FENCe):
 In order for info to have Relevance, it must possess:
 Predictive value
 Confirmatory value (feedback, confirmation, needs changes)
 Or both
 Material - entity-specific aspect of relevance that applies at
individual entity level
 In order for info to have Faithful Representation, it must be:
 Free from Error
 Neutral (no bias)
 Complete
o Enhancing Qualitative Characteristics (Roger is CUT like a V):
 Comparability (consistency)
 Understandability
 Timeliness
 Verifiability

Fair Value Option - allows an entity to report trading/AFS securities, equity securities,
impairment losses, and derivatives at fair value with unrealized gains and losses
reported in the income statement (MIC):
o Market Approach - similar items in the market
o Income Approach - income that would be generated
o Cost Approach - cost that would be incurred to replace

3 Levels of Inputs to Determine FV:
o Level I - most reliable, observable data from actual market transactions
o Level II - transactions did not occur in active market, transactions occurred
relating to similar but not identical items
o Level III - unobservable data, management judgement

Bank Reconciliation (from bank balance):
= Balance on bank statement
+ Deposits in transit
- Outstanding checks
+/- Errors made by bank
= Corrected balance

Bank Reconciliation (from checkbook balance):
= Checkbook balance
+ Amounts collected by bank
- Unrecorded bank charges
+/- Errors made in recording transactions
= Corrected balance

Overdraft protection - if one account overdrafts and the other account is positive, you
can either (1) net them if accounts are at same bank or (2) record a current liability
if they are at different banks

GAAP Income Statement (ON-TIDe-N-OC):
Operating Income


5 Step Revenue Recognition Process:
o Identify contracts with customers
o Identify all separate performance obligations within each contract
o Determine total consideration for contract
o Allocate total consideration among separate performance obligations
o Recognize revenue (1) when entity has satisfied its performance obligations
or (2) while the entity is satisfying its performance obligations

Determining Total Consideration for Multiple Element Arrangements (Bundles):
o Step Method:
 Discount that applies to smaller bundle will be allocated among the items
in that bundle
 Remaining discount allocated among all items using the standalone sales
price for those items that were not included in the small bundle and using
the standalone sales prices minus the discount already allocated to the
items in the small bundle
o Example (appliances):
 Refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and washer/dryer combination is sold as
bundle for $4,200. Refrigerator normally sold for $2,700, stove for $600,
dishwasher for $700, and washer/dryer for $1,000.
 Sum of standalone sales prices = $2,700 + $600 + $700 + $1,000 =
$5,000. Bundle sale then = $5,000 - $4,200 = $800 which is a discount of
$800/$5,000 = 16%.
 Adjusted sales price and revenue allocation for each item can then be
summarized as: $2,268 for refrigerator, $504 for stove, $588 for
dishwasher, and $840 for washer/dryer (all net of 16% discount).
o Example (recreational vehicles):
 Store offers smaller bundles which include water package and off-road
package. Water package = jet ski ($2,900) and raft ($3,600) which is
bundled at $5,525. Off-road package = motorcycle ($2,800) and
snowmobile ($3,000) which is bundled at $5,220. All four items are
included in a larger bundle for $10,100.
 Water package standalone sales prices = $2,900 + $3,600 = $6,500.
Bundle sale = $6,500 - $5,525 = $975 which is a discount of $975/$6,500
= 15%; Off-road package standalone sales prices = $2,800 + $3,000 =

Debt Securities:
o Held for Trading
 Recorded at cost (FMV) when acquired
 Unrealized and realized gains and losses recorded on income statement
 Unrealized gains and losses adjust carrying value each period,
including interim periods
 Cash flows from operating activities
o Available for Sale
 Recorded at cost (FMV) when acquired
 Unrealized gains and losses recorded in OCI
 Unrealized gains and losses adjust carrying value each period,
including interim periods
 Realized gains and losses recorded on income statement
 Could have impairment losses for other than temporary decline in value
(the FV < acquisition cost):


$5,800. Bundle sale = $5,800 - $5,220 = $580 which is a discount of
$580/$5,800 = 10%.
The first adjusted sales price for each are summarized as: $2,465 (jet
ski), $3,060 (raft), $2,520 (motorcycle), and $2,700 (snowmobile).
Adding the standalone sales prices of the larger bundle gives you a total
of $10,745. Since the larger bundle is sold at $10,100, this is an
additional discount of $10,745 - $10,100 = $645 which is an additional
discount of $645/$10,745 = 6%.
The final adjusted sales price and revenue allocation for each are
summarized as: $2,317 (jet ski), $2,876 (raft), $2,369 (motorcycle), and
$2,538 (snowmobile) which totals $10,100.


IFRS Debt Securities:
o FVTPL - similar to electing the FV option, securities are adjusted to FMV at each
reporting date and gains/losses are reported in statement of profit or loss
o Impairment losses can be recovered but gains reported on the income
statement cannot exceed original cost

Equity Method (20-50% ownership):
o Investor exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policies
of the investee
o Must determine how much of investment is allocated to goodwill, PP&E, and the
book value


Adjusted Cost Method (0-20%):
o Investment recorded at cost and adjusted to FMV at each B/S date with
unrealized and realized gains/losses reported on income statement
o No journal entry when investee earns income or for amortization/depreciation
o Only record journal entry when receive dividend income
o Practical expedient - used to determine FMV of investment when market value
isn’t readily determinable, uses published FMV of net assets per share * number
of shares or units held by investor
o Adjusted cost method - if doesn’t quality for practical expedient, measures FMV
by cost minus any impairment losses

Financial Instruments (COD):
o Cash
o Ownership interests in an entity (stock)
o
Derivative contracts that create a right and obligation to transfer other financial
instruments (stock options)

3 Reasons for Investing in Derivatives:
o Investments - stock options
o Arbitrage - taking advantage of price differentials in separate markets to gain
profit without significant risk of loss (futures)
o Hedge - reduce or eliminate risk (forward exchange contracts)

4 Characteristics of Derivatives (NUNS):
o No net investment - no initial investment or very small initial investment such as
fees paid to obtain the contract
o Underlying and Notional - the underlying is factor that affects the derivative’s
value (specified price or exchange rate) and the notional is the number of units
o Net Settlement - can be settled in a net amount which is the sum of the positive
and negative underlying amounts (currency valued at old exchange rate vs
currency valued at new exchange rate)

Derivative Examples:
o Option contracts - the right but not the obligation to buy/sell something in the
future; call = right to buy; put = right to sell
o Futures contract - the right and obligation to buy/sell foreign currency or goods
in the future at a price set today
o Forward contract - right and obligation to buy or sell a commodity at a future
date for an agreed-upon price
o Interest rate/foreign currency swap - forward-based contract or agreement
between two counterparties to exchange streams of CF over a specified period in
the future

Fair Value Hedge - hedging against a recognized asset or liability or a firm purchase
commitment; changes in value of the derivative are reported in income
o E.g. An oil company purchases 100 gallons (notional) of gas (recognized asset)
at today’s price of $2/gallon (underlying) to protect against future declines in its
gasoline inventory. If the price instead increases to $3/gallon:
DR Inventory
100
CR Gain on Market Increase in Inv (I/S)
100
DR Loss on FV Hedge (I/S)
100
CR Payable on Derivative
100
If the price were to decrease to $1/gallon:
DR Loss on Market Decline in Inv (I/S)
100
CR Inventory
100
DR Receivable on Derivative
100
CR Gain on FV Hedge (I/S)
100

Cash Flow Hedge - the derivative is hedging against a forecasted transaction that is
expected to take place in the future but is not yet a legal commitment; changes in value
are recorded in OCI (DENT)
o E.g. An airline enters into a futures contract to purchase 100 gallons of gasoline
from the Fair Value Hedge example. The airline has a maximum budget of $200
to spend on gasoline, so it contracts to purchase the gasoline at today’s price of
$2/gallon 1 year from now. It expects that the price of gasoline will increase 1
year from now so it is protecting itself from that increase.
If the price of gasoline actually decreases to $1/gallon:
DR Loss on CF Hedge (OCI)
100
CR Payable on Derivative
100
If the price instead increases to $3/gallon:
DR Receivable on Derivative
CR Gain on CF Hedge (OCI)


IFRS Derivatives - includes an additional type of derivative that is Hedges of Net
Investments in Foreign Operations which are accounted for as CF hedges

Foreign Currency Transactions:
o Transactional Currency - the local currency that the local books and records
are kept
⇅ Remeasurement (I/S)
o Functional Currency - the currency in which entity generates and expends
cash
⇅ Translation Adjustments (OCI - DENT)
o Reporting Currency - the currency in which the entity prepares its financial
statements

Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts (CF Hedge) - one currency is
exchanged for another at a specified exchange rate at a specific future date in time
o E.g. A Company budgets $325,000 to purchase a printing press from a German
company. Therefore, the purchase order will be received in Euros. They receive
the purchase order for 250,000 Euros at today’s exchange rate of $1.30 per
Euro. The PO specifies that payment is due in 6 months. The Company enters
into a forward exchange contract to purchase $325,000 of Euros at today’s
exchange rate 6 months from now. At each B/S date, a gain or loss will be
recognized in OCI depending on how the FX rate fluctuates and there will be
either a debit or credit to the Forward Exchange Contract B/S account.

Translation of Financial Statements (functional currency to reporting currency):
o Translate all I/S items using the weighted average FX rate to arrive at the
translated net income
o Translate all B/S items:
 Assets and liabilities at B/S dates
 Contributed capital at historical rates
 Retained earnings is not translated and is only rolled forward
o The difference is recognized as a gain or loss from Foreign Currency
Translation Adjustments in OCI (accumulated in AOCI until investment in
foreign investee is disposed of)

Remeasurement of Financial Statements (transactional currency to functional
currency) - present the financial information as if all transactions had originally been
recorded in the functional currency
o
o
o
o
Non-monetary assets and liabilities (prepaids, marketable securities, PP&E,
intangibles, deferred income/expenses) remeasured at historical rates
Monetary assets and liabilities remeasured at B/S dates
Revenues, expenses, gains, and losses remeasured at weighted average FX
rates at transaction date
Gains or losses recognized in I/S
At each B/S date (if FX rate increases unfavorably):
DR Foreign Currency Exchange Loss (I/S)


Inventory Costs to Capitalize:
o Warehousing
o Insurance, repackaging, modifications
o Inbound freight
o Transportation costs paid by seller (consignor) on consignment arrangements
because the consignor retains legal ownership of the inventory



FIFO (LISH):
o The last item added to inventory is still here in ending inventory, meaning that
ending inventory is likely valued higher than it would be under FIFO because
costs generally increase over time
o Similarly, COGS is less than it would be under LIFO because older, lessexpensive inventory is sold; consequently, net income is higher than LIFO and is
considered to be overstated
o
o
LCNRV is used to value ending inventory

inventory representing current prices is sold; net income is lower than FIFO and
is considered to be properly stated


Lower of Cost or Market - Applicable to LIFO or Retail Inventory costing only,
inventory should be valued at the LOWER of its cost or market value (subject to ceiling
and floor limitations).
o The market value that should be compared to cost is the MIDDLE of:
 Ceiling = NRV (Sales Price - Disposal Costs)
 Replacement Cost = cost to purchase or reproduce
 Floor = NRV - Normal Profit Margin

Lower of Cost or NRV - Applicable to all others besides LIFO and Retail Inventory
(used by IFRS), inventory should be valued at the LOWER of its cost or NRV
Gross Profit Margin Method - Used to estimate ending inventory if it has been
destroyed or is missing.
o E.g. If GP for the period is 40%, then COGS can be calculated by multiplying
Sales * 60%

Revaluation method allows for recovery of impairment losses:
 Assets are recorded at cost but are adjusted to FMV at each B/S date
with gains and losses recognized in OCI; If an asset falls below its original
cost, losses are recognized in the I/S, and if the asset regains its value
gains are recognized in the I/S only to the extent that the asset recovers
its original value

Research and Development Costs - Under GAAP, all research and development costs
are expensed as incurred. This is because the feasibility of the potential new product
has not yet been determined. Conservatism requires us to hold off on any capitalization
until the product has been determined to be feasible to produce and sell.
o Includes:
 Planning

Zero Interest Bearing Notes:
Example: If the I/R is not stated, use FMV of goods or FMV of note to determine
the amount to record as N/R. I am selling equipment with a BV of $6,000 and a
FV of $9,000 and will receive $10,000 due in 2 years. Therefore, the gain should
be $3,000 and the CV of the note should be $9,000.

*The goal with any type of amortization is to get the carrying value to eventually
equal the face value. So if there is a discount, then we want to add an amount to
the carrying value each period. If there is a premium, then we want to subtract an
amount from the carrying value.

Finance Lease (Lessee) (Special PO-T can be purchased in a Major Part (75%) of
the country if you spend Substantially All (90%) of your money):
o To be considered a finance lease, a lease must meet ONE of these 5 criteria:
 Specialized nature of leased property has no alternative use to lessor at
end of lease term
 The lease has a Purchase Option which is reasonably certain to be
exercised
 The lease Transfers title of the property to lessee by end of lease term
 The lease term is for the Major Part (75%) of the remaining economic life
of the property
 The PV of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the
lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments is equal to
Substantially All (90%) of the FMV of the property at inception

Sales-Type Leases (Lessor) - If the lease meets one of the 5 criteria to be considered
a finance lease, then the lease is accounted for as a sales-type lease (with or without
profit) on the lessor’s books.
o With Profit - Seller is usually a manufacturer or dealer of the asset, and uses
the lease as a way of selling the asset on an installment basis.

Sale-Leaseback Transactions - Property owner sells property and then immediately
leases all or part of it back from the new owner.
o Sale (w/ gain or loss) + Operating Lease:
 Normal revenue recognition conditions are met and the lease portion
meets none of the Special-PO-T-75-90 conditions
o No sale, just loan:
 Lease portion meets at least one of the Special-PO-T-75-90 conditions
meaning the transaction is essentially a loan (note payable)

IFRS Leases:
o All leases are considered finance leases
o All leases under $5,000 are considered short-term leases
o Requires remeasurement of lease liability or receivable if index or rate tied to
variable lease payments changes resulting in change in cash flows

Accounts Payable (Current Liabilities)
o Net Method – Include the potential discount in the original A/P entry which
reduces COGS and the value of inventory.

Coupons/Premium Liabilities – An estimated liability must be calculated at each B/S
date for any unredeemed coupons. The steps to calculate the liability are:
o Determine face value of coupons issued
o Add handling fee % promised to merchants
o Multiply by the % of coupons expected to be redeemed
o Subtract payments already made to merchants for redeemed coupons

Compensated Absences – Employers must recognize a liability for employee vacation
and sick pay if ALL 4 criteria are met:
o Obligation for compensation for future absences results from services already
provided by employee
o Right to compensation for future absences vests or accumulates
o Payment is probable
o
Amount of payment is reasonably estimable

Interest on Note Payables – Notes should be recorded at face value if they arise in the
ordinary course of business and mature in less than one year (short-term note
payables). Notes that mature longer than one year must be recorded at their PV with a
discount or premium.

Troubled Debt Restructuring – Credits must conclude that 2 conditions have been
met: (1) Restructuring constitutes a concession and (2) the debtor is facing financial
difficulties. There are 3 ways that debt can be restructured:
o Transfer of Property:
 Gain/loss on restructuring of payables (creditor) = CV of liability – FV of
asset transferred
 Gain/loss on transfer of asset (debtor) = CV of asset – FV of asset
o Equity Interest in Debtor:
 Debtor records equity as if it was issued at fair value with increases to
common stock and APIC
 Gain/loss on restructuring of payables (creditor) = CV of liability – FV of
equity
o Modification of Terms:
 Loss on restructuring of payables (creditor) = Future Payments < CV of
liability
 There is no gain from the side of the creditor, only considered an
adjustment to the interest rate
 Gain on restructuring of payables (debtor) = Future Obligation < CV of
Present Obligation

IFRS Liabilities:
o Short term obligations expected to be refinanced are only reported as noncurrent
if the entity expects, and has discretion, to refinance or roll over the obligation for
at least 12 months after the reporting period
o Distinguishes between contingencies and provisions where provisions are
probable and estimate and accrued while contingencies are just disclosed

Types of Pension Obligations:
o Vested Benefit Obligation (VBO) – The actuarial PV of vested benefits
(employee is owed today if terminated)
o Accumulated Benefit Obligation (ABO) – What is owed to the employee at
retirement under current wage rates (salaries received to date)
o
Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) – What is owed to the employee at
retirement with an adjustment to pay and inflation considerations (benefits years
of service method)


Calculating Pension Expense (A-SPIDER):
o Amortization of Existing Net Obligation or Net Asset at Implementation (+/-)
 Net assets (-) occur when FV > PBO and net obligations (+) occur when
FV < PBO
o Service Cost (+)
 Results from employee service in current period and represents the
amount that would need to be set aside by the company each year over
the service life of the employee in order to fund promised benefits after
retirement
o Prior Service Cost Amortization (+/-)
 (+) if employers determine that they are retroactively giving employees
pension benefits; (-) if they are retroactively taking away pension benefits
 The differences are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average
remaining service life
o Interest Cost (+)
 Beginning PBO * Discount Rate
o Deferred Gain (+/-)
 Gains (+) or losses (-) that are believed to result from short-term
variations from expected returns on investments are deferred and are not
recognized in income
 For example, if the plan’s expected return is $15,000 and it actually
returns $24,000, then $9,000 is added to the pension expense
o Excess Amortization of Deferred Gain/Loss (+/-)
 Uses the corridor approach to determine if the deferred gain or loss is
too large (10% larger of the beginning PBO or the beginning FV of plan
assets)
 If the deferred gain or loss is greater than the corridor, the excess amount
should be amortized; (-) if the excess is from a gain or (+) if the excess is
from a loss
o Actual Return on Plant Assets (-)
 Can be calculated by either (1) Beginning FV of Plan Assets * Actual Rate
of Return or (2)

Beg Plan Assets

Accounting for Changes in PBO:

+/- PSC or credit
+/- Actuarial gain or loss
- Benefits Paid
= Ending PBO
Calculating Target Pension Liability - Compare the ending PBO with the
ending FV of Plan Assets, and the difference is the target pension liability. If the
pension is overfunded then there is a noncurrent asset, if it is underfunded then
there is either a current liability, noncurrent liability, or both
 Example: The ending PBO is $800, the FV of Plan Assets is $600,
Accrued Pension Cost (liability) is $150, and Taxes are 30%
Target liability = 800 - 600 = 200

Accounting for Income Taxes:
o Liability Method - Calculate current and deferred income tax asset/liability and
the plug is income tax expense.
Example: Income before taxes is $200, tax rate is 20% this year and 30% in
future years, bond interest income is $60 (permanent difference), and MACRS
deductions exceeded depreciation by $40 (temporary difference). We also paid
$15 for estimates payments towards this year’s taxes.

Permanent Differences - Are not taxable/deductible under current tax law and
therefore do not create a current or deferred tax asset/liability.
Temporary Differences - Result from items being taxable or deductible in a
different period than the item is reported in the income statement
Deferred Tax Liabilities - These liabilities arise because of temporary differences
between book income and taxable income. If these differences yield book income
which is higher than tax income then we are paying less taxes this year. However,
that will reverse out in future years, which is why this is referred to as a liability.
o Book Expense < Tax Expense
o Book Income > Tax Income
Example: ABC Co. expenses $250 this year for a $1,000 invoice that it records
as a prepaid expense. For tax purposes, the entire $1,000 is deducted from
income (cash basis). Therefore, there is a $750 temporary difference between
book income and tax income. If the future tax rate is estimated to be 30%, then a
DTL of $225 will be recorded.

Deferred Tax Assets - These assets arise because of temporary differences between
book income and taxable income. If these differences yield book income which is
lower than tax income then we are paying more taxes this year. However, that will
reverse out in future years, which is why this is referred to as an asset.
o Book Expense > Tax Expense
o Book Income < Tax Income
Example: ABC Co. receives a $500 check from its tenant for a future month’s
rent payment that they are paying in advance. ABC records the transaction as a
DR to Cash and a CR to Unearned Revenue. For tax purposes, the $500 is
taxable income. Therefore, there is a $500 temporary differences between book
income and tax income. If the future tax rate is estimated to be 30%, then a DTA
of $150 will be recorded.
o
Valuation Allowance - If it is more likely than not (50% or more likelihood) that
some or all of the DTA will not be realized, then a DTA allowance will be CR for
the amount estimated to not be realized with an offsetting DR to income tax
expense.

IFRS Accounting for Income Taxes:
o Deferred tax assets are recognized only when reasonably assured of realization
and only to the extent that it is probable that they will be realized
o Measure DTA and DTL using either the future enacted or substantially enacted
tax rate

IFRS Stockholders’ Equity:
o Constructive Retirement Method (Treasury Stock) - This is similar to the par
value method, when shares are repurchased the DR should be to C/S instead of
T/S since the company generally doesn’t intend to reissue the shares.
o Requires bifurcation of component instruments into liability and equity
components

Basic EPS - Theoretically, EPS is how much each shareholder would receive if the
company paid out all of its income as a dividend.
Net Income
- Preferred Dividends (all cumulative for this year only and non-cumulative only if
declared)
= Income Available to Common Shareholders
÷ Wtd Avg # of Common Shares Outstanding
= Basic EPS

Diluted EPS:
o If Converted Method (Convertible Bonds & Preferred Stock):
Net Income Available to Common Shareholders
+ Preferred Dividends (not net of tax)
+ Bond Interest (net of tax)
÷ (Wtd Avg # of Common Shares Outstanding
+ # of Shares Convertible Securities Converted Into)
= Diluted EPS
o Treasury Stock Method:
Net Income Available to Common Shareholders
+ $0………………………...
÷ (Wtd Avg # of Common Shares Outstanding
+ Incremental # of Common Shares Outstanding at Avg Market Price)

Discontinued Operations:
o Considered if there is a strategic shift that will have a significant effect on the
entity’s operations and financial results. Includes:
 Discontinued operations in a major geographical region
 Discontinuing a major product line
 Disposal of a significant investment accounted for under the equity
method
 Other major “parts” of an entity are disposed
o A gain or loss on disposal is reported net of tax effect
o The gain or loss is reported if the operation is actually sold or if it is held for
sale:
 Plan to sell is committed
 Component is in sellable condition
 Actions to complete sale initiated and a buyer is being sought
 It is probable and estimable that completion of the sale will occur within 1
year
 The asking price is reasonable
 The sale is unlikely to be withdrawn

3 Types of Accounting Changes and Error Corrections:
o Accounting Principle (retrospective)
o Accounting Estimate (prospective)
o Reporting Entity (retrospective)
o Correction of an Error (retroactive)

Changes in Accounting Principles - Can be either a change from one principle to
another, a change to a generally accepted principle when the previous principle is no
longer acceptable, and a change in the method of applying the principle.
Example: ABC Co. switched from Weighted Average to FIFO for valuing their
inventory. Ending inventory at 12/31/X1 was $700 under W/A but would have
been $900 had FIFO been used. The change is being made for tax purposes,
and the tax rate is 40%.

Changes in Accounting Estimate - Adjusting the carrying value of an existing asset or
liability or affecting the subsequent accounting for existing or future assets/liabilities.
Adjustments are recorded prospectively meaning that the current period and
subsequent periods are adjusted.
Example: As of 1/1/X1, ABC Co. was depreciating a $100 asset over 5 years
using straight-line depreciation. On 1/1/X3, they changed the salvage value to 4
years.


Change in Reporting Entity - When changes are made to the reporting entity, the
financial statements will have to be adjusted retrospectively so that we can still compare
prior year to current year.

Error Corrections (Prior Period Adjustments):
o Treated retroactively which means that we are going back and adjusting prior
periods, restricted for prior period error adjustments

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
o The first footnote to the financial statements
o Describes the client’s reasonings for choosing specific GAAP policies
o E.g. revenue recognition policies, inventory costing, depreciation methods, longterm construction accounting, and investment classification

Long-Term Obligations (Disclosures):
o Legal commitments to future cash payments (fixed and determinable) are
disclosed
o E.g. notes and bonds payable, leases, and unconditional purchase obligations
due within 1 year
o All payments due after 5 years are aggregated into a single amount

IFRS Accounting Changes:
o There is no provision for changes in reporting entity
o Instead of principles, they are changes in accounting policies
o Corrections of errors are made retrospectively and not retroactively

Interim Financial Reporting:
Item
Treatment
Property taxes, bonus, depreciation,
revenues/expenses
Allocate to all quarters
Inventory losses
Allocate to single quarter unless expected to be
recovered by year-end, then do not allocate
Major expenses
Allocate to single quarter unless it benefits future
quarters
Discontinued operations
Allocate to single quarter
Income tax expense
Estimate each quarter using the effective annual rate

IFRS Interim Financial Reporting:
o Does not mandate interim reporting
o If an entity does elect to interim reporting, must include statement of:





Financial position (B/S)
Profit and loss and other comprehensive income
Changes in equity


Segment Reporting - Using the management approach, segments are identified as
representing a group of activities with revenues and expenses that is regularly evaluated
by management as a single unit.
o FASB ASC 280 - 3 Characteristics of a Segment:
 Involved in business activities that may result in earning revenues and
incurring expenses
 Performance is evaluated by management
 Financial information that is identifiable to the component is available
o Reportable Segments - Contribute at least 10% of the total revenue, assets, or
profits for all segments

Revenue Test (>= 10%) - Revenue is based on combined revenues of all segments
including those resulting from intersegment sales.

Profit/Loss Test (>= 10%) – Profit is calculated from operating income only, and
expenses that are incurred at the overall corporate level are excluded.
Example: ABC Co. has total sales of $1,000. $300 are attributed to segment C
which also had operating expenses of $90. ABC had total operating expenses of
$200.

The operating profit/loss is added for all segments; the threshold is the larger of
10% of the total profit and total loss (e.g. if combined profits are $1MM, then 0.10
* 1,000,000 or 100,00 is the threshold and any segment with profit >= 100,000
should be included)

75% Test – There must be enough segments that are separately reported so that at
least 75% of unaffiliated revenues are shown by reportable segments; if this test is not
satisfied, additional segments must be designated as reportable even if they do not meet
1 of the 3 tests

Types of Segments and their Treatments:
o
o
o
Operations in Different Industries – All 3 tests must be performed; segments
that satisfy any of the 3 tests must be disclosed
Foreign Operations – Test #1 and test #3 must be performed; segments that
satisfy either test #1 or test #3 must be disclosed
Major Customer or Export Sales – Test #1 must be performed; segments that
satisfy test #1 must be disclosed

Cash Equivalents – Financial instruments that have an original maturity of 3 months or
less from the date of purchase (e.g. Treasury bills, commercial paper, money market
funds).

3 Categories of Cash Flow Activities:
o Operating – Inflows and outflows of cash related to the production of income
from continuing operations (or any transactions that aren’t investing or financing)
 Collections from sales or accounts receivable
 Cash payments for COGS or SGA
 Interest received or paid (IFRS allows interest paid to be a financing
activity)
 Accreted interest related to debt discounts
 Dividends received
 Acquisition and disposal of trading securities
 Payments for income taxes
 “All others”
o Investing (LIP) – Investing in yourself or others
 Loans or principal collections made by the entity (not interest or dividends
which are operating activities)
 Investments such as AFS or HTM (not trading which is operating)
 Property, plant, and equipment acquisitions
 Intangibles
 Cash received from payments on receivables transferred in exchange for
a beneficial interest in a securitized transaction
o Financing – Issuing debt or equity in order to generate cash
 Proceeds from issuing or payments for retiring bonds
 Issuance or reacquisition of stock or treasury stock
 Borrowing or repaying a loan
 Debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs
 The portion of a settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments attributable to
principal
 Dividends paid to shareholders

Direct Method of Preparing Cash Flow from Operating Activities - Cash sources and
uses related to each account in income from continuing operations are listed individually
and converted from accrual to cash to arrive at the cash balance:
o Sales are adjusted for changes in accounts receivable
o COGS are adjusted for changes in inventory and accounts payable
o Selling expenses are adjusted for changes in allowance for credit loss and
accumulated depreciation
o Interest expense is adjusted for amortization of bond discounts/premiums
o Income tax expense is adjusted for changes in current and deferred taxes

Indirect Method of Preparing Cash Flows from Operating Activities - Begins with
net income and adjusts (1) non cash items (depreciation and amortization are added,
equity in earnings is deducted), (2) non-operating items (gains from AFS are deducted),
and (3) changes in the balances of accrual-related accounts (accounts receivable,
inventory, accounts payable, allowance for credit loss, discount/premium amortization,
taxes).

 Schedule to reconcile net income to CF from operating activities (identical
to indirect method)
 Schedule of noncash investing and financing activities (e.g. purchasing
land with a N/P)
o Indirect Method:
 Cash payments for interest and income taxes
 Schedule of noncash investing and financing activities
o Restricted cash must also be disclosed in the footnotes or the face of the
statement of CFs


Interest and dividends received may be reported as an inflow from investing
activities (operating activities under GAAP)
Partnerships-Admission of a New Partner (I met a GAL at the BAR):
o Bonus Method (Bonus Adjust the Right):
Example: C is admitted to A and B’s partnership at ⅙ interest and pays $50. The
bonus method stipulates that C will have to pay A and B a bonus of $20 so that
C’s capital balance reflects their ⅙ interest.

Example: The conditions above are the same. If C is paying A and B $50 for a ⅙
interest in the partnership, that implies a valuation of $300. Therefore, the total
capital balance for all 3 partners is $180 and goodwill is $120 ($300-$180).


Exact Method - No bonus or goodwill is recorded. A potential partner that wants
an interest of ⅙ must provide the exact amount of capital required to earn a ⅙
interest.
Liquidations and Retirement:
o Retirement - When a partner retires, they may be paid a bonus. This bonus
payment reduces their current capital balance. If the bonus payment reduces the
retiring partner’s capital balance below $0, the remaining partners must reduce
their capital balances proportionally to their investment stakes in the partnership
to adjust the retiring partner’s capital balance to $0.

o Determine the Acquisition Date:

o
o

Date on which the acquirer obtains a controlling financial interest over the
acquiree

acquiree’s equity
 For VIE, date on which lease, sale, or purchase contract is entered into
Recognize and Measure Assets, Liabilities, and Non-Controlling Interest:
 Do not recognize goodwill on the financial statement of the acquiree,
prepaid or accrued rent resulting from operating lease accounting, or
DTA/DTL
 Do recognize identifiable intangibles such as marketing, customer,
artistic, contracts, and technology
 Non-Controlling Interests:
 Recognized at fair value which is the market price of a single
share * number of shares held by NCI on acquisition date
Recognize and Measure Goodwill or Gain:
 Acquirer recognizes consideration given (cash, assets, stock) at fair value
 Costs related to the transaction will be recognized as an expense when
incurred:
 Attorney/appraiser fees
 Indirect costs (e.g. new stationary, new training manuals)
 Cost of issuing equity securities reduces APIC
 Cost of issuing debt securities are capitalized and amortized as debt
issue costs
 Goodwill represents the incremental amount of consideration given over
the fair value of underlying net assets
 Gain on Bargain Purchase represents the incremental amount of fair
value of underlying net assets over consideration given
Combining Equity:
o Debit all equity amounts of acquiree to remove 100% of those balances
o Credit investment in acquiree
o Credit non-controlling interest (active stock price * number of shares held by noncontrolling interest)
o Debit goodwill or credit gain on bargain purchase
o Adjust identifiable assets to FMV

Intercompany Transactions:
o Dividends Paid from Acquiree to Acquirer:
 No B/S effect since equity amounts of acquiree and investments of
acquirer are eliminated
o Intercompany Sales of Inventory:

3 financial statement effects need to be eliminated:
 Sales vs purchase
 Receivable vs payable
 Profit in ending inventory
Example: P Co. has inventory that was purchased from an outside supplier for
$4, and it is later sold to S Co. for $5. IT remains in ending inventory at Y/E and
the invoice to the parent hasn’t been paid.

Sales of PP&E:
 Must eliminate the gain on sale and eliminate additional depreciation or
amortization resulting from markup of the asset
Example: P Co. has equipment with a $50 cost and $20 accumulated
depreciation. On 1/1/X1, P sells the equipment to S for $45. On the date of sale,
the asset has an estimated life of 3 years.

Bonds Issued:
 3 eliminations may be needed:
 Investment in bonds vs bonds payable
 Interest revenue vs interest expense
 Accrued interest receivable vs accrued interest payable
Example: Acquiree issued an 8% bond at its $1,000 FV several years ago.
Acquirer purchased bond on open market for $900 plus accrued interest on
12/31/X1. Bond pays interest annually on 1/1.


Variable Interest Entities - An entity can have a controlling financial interest in another
entity without owning any equity in the other entity; a VIE can form for several reasons:
o Entity forms separate entity for the purpose of holding assets or incurring
liabilities
o Entity enters into relationship with another entity and occupies so many of other
entity’s resources that it becomes the focus of its operations

IFRS Consolidations:
o Non-controlling interests may be valued at acquisition date fair values or in an
amount equal to the proportionate share of the recognized net asset of the
acquiree when:
 They represent present ownership interests
 Holders entitled to proportionate share of the recognized net assets of
acquiree if liquidated
o Amount of goodwill or gain on bargain purchase may differ
o Parent must prepare consolidated financial statements for all entities that it has
control over
o Subsidiaries can be excluded from consolidation under certain circumstances
