CHAPTER 10 (2020): Accounting Changes Change in accounting estimate Two categories of accounting changes: a. Change in accounting estimate b. Change in accounting policy Change in accounting estimate Adjustment of the CA of an asset or a liability, or the amount of the periodic consumption of an asset that results from the assessment of the present status and expected future benefit and obligation associated with the asset and liability (PAS 8, paragraph 5) - Normal, recurring correction or adjustment of an asset or liability Natural result of the use of an estimate Does not relate to prior periods Examples a. b. c. d. e. Doubtful accounts Inventory obsolescence Useful life, residual value, expected pattern of consumption of depreciable asset Warranty costs FV of financial assets/liabilities Reasonable estimates: essential in preparing FS, does not undermine their reliability - May need revision if changes occur - Circumstances on which the estimate was based - New information - More experience - Subsequent development Change in accounting estimate vs. policy ● Change in measurement basis ➔ policy ● If difficult to distinguish a change in accounting policy or estimate, ○ Then treat as change in accounting estimate ○ With proper disclosure Treatment ➔ currently and prospectively Effect is reflected in the income/loss of: ● Period the change was made - if it affects that period only ● Period the change was made + future periods - if it affects both ● Adjust CA of related asset/liability/equity in period of change CHAPTER 11 (2020): Accounting Changes Change in accounting policies, Prior period errors Accounting policies Specific principles, bases, conventions, rules and practices applied by an entity in preparing and presenting financial statements - Comparability: must elect and apply same accounting policies in each period Once selected, must be applied consistently for similar transactions and events Change in accounting policy Arises when an entity adopts a generally accepted accounting principle different from the one previously used Can be made only when: a. Required by accounting standard or interpretation of a standard b. The change results in more relevant and faithfully-represented information about the financial position, performance, and cash flows Examples of changes in accounting policies ● ● ● ● ● Method of inventory pricing (FIFO ➔ Weighted average) Method of accounting for long term construction contract (Cost recovery method to ➔ Percentage of completion) Initial adoption to carry assets at revalued amount (PAS 16) Measuring investment property (Cost model ➔ Fair value model) New policy resulting from requirement of a new PFRS Not changes in accounting policy ● ● Applying a policy for transactions that differ in substance from previously occurring transactions Applying new policy for transactions that did not occur previously or were immaterial How to report a change in policy Applied in accordance with the transitional provisions of the standard that required such change ➔ If: No transitional provisions / Change was made voluntarily ◆ Then: Apply retrospectively or retroactively Retrospective application Applying new policy as if that policy had always been applied PAS 8, paragraph 22 provides that the entity shall adjust: ● Opening balance of each affected component of equity for the earliest prior period presented, and ● Comparative amounts disclosed for each prior period presented As if the new policy had always been applied - Report as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings Adjustment amount is determined at the beginning of year of change However: adjustment can be made to component other than RE if another standard requires Limitation of retrospective application Not required if impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of the change Impracticable: entity cannot apply it after making every effort to do so ● Effects are not determinable ● Requires assumptions about what management’s intentions were at that time ● Requires significant estimate, impossible to distinguish objectively info that ○ Provides evidence of circumstances at that time ○ Would have been available at that time If impracticable, then: Entity applies new policy prospectively from the earliest period practicable Prospective application New policy is applied after the date at which the policy is changed - No adjustments relating to prior periods are made - Existing balances are not recalculated Change in reporting entity Entities change their nature and report their operations in such a way that the financial statements are in effect those of a different reporting entity E.g. Changing subsidiaries comprising group for which consolidated FS are presented Considered as a change in accounting policy ➔ retrospective application - Disclose what the FSs would’ve looked like if current entity had been in existence in prior year Absence of accounting standard ➔ use judgment PAS 8, paragraph 10: Use judgment in selecting and applying an accounting policy that results in information that is relevant and faithfully represented Hierarchy of guidance (par 11 and 12) a. Requirements of current standards dealing with similar matters b. Definition, recognition, measurement concepts for A/L/Income/Expenses in CFFR c. Most recent pronouncements of other standard-setting bodies i. (that use a similar CF, other accounting literature, accepted industry practices) Prior period errors ● Omissions and misstatements in the financial statements for one or more periods ● Arising from a failure to use, or a misuse of reliable information that ○ Was available when the FS of those periods of error were authorized for issue ○ Was reasonably expected to have been obtained/taken into account during the preparation and presentation of the FS of those periods of error CHAPTER 10 (2021): Operating Segment Reportable segments (meet any 1 of the following): 1. Segment revenue accounts for 10% or more of the combined revenue of all operating segments. 2. Absolute amount of P/L of the segment is 10% or more of the greater in absolute amount of: a. Combined profit of all operating segments that reported a profit b. Combined loss of all operating segments that reported a loss 3. Assets of the segment are 10% or more of the combined assets of all operating segments. *Segments that do not meet any of the 3 may still be reportable if the management believes that information would be useful to users. Computation to identify reportable segments a. Based on Revenue 1. Compute for total revenue 2. Compute 10% of total revenue 3. Any segment whose revenue is equal to or greater than the amount computed in #2 is reportable. Those less than the amount are not reportable. b. Based on Segment Assets 1. Compute for total segment assets 2. Compute 10% of total segment assets 3. Any segment whose assets is equal to or greater than the amount computed in #2 is reportable. Those less than the amount are not reportable. c. Based on P/L 1. Separately compute for total profit, and total losses 2. Whichever amount is higher will be the basis for the 10% reportable segment 3. Any segment whose P/Lis equal to or greater than the amount computed in #2 is reportable. Those less than the amount are not reportable. 75% Threshold Total external reportable revenue of reportable segments must reach at least 75%, otherwise additional operating segments shall be identified until it reaches the threshold. Aggregation of segments Two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if such segments have similar economic characteristics, sharing majority of the following criteria: 1. Nature of product or services 2. Nature of production process 3. Type or class of customers 4. Marketing method or method used to distribute the product 5. Nature of the regulatory environment, i.e. banking, insurance or public utility Limit to number of segments No precise limit has been determined, but as soon as the number of reported segments exceeds 10, the entity must consider whether a practical limit has been reached. Segment no longer reportable If management decides that the previously-identified reportable segment is of continuing significance, information about the segment shall continue to be reported even if it no longer meets the 10% threshold. Segment becoming reportable If a segment becomes reportable based on the 10% threshold, information about the segment shall be restated to reflect the newly reportable segment even if that segment did not meet the 10% threshold in the previous period. The exception to the restatement is if doing so would incur excessive costs and if data on prior period/s is not available. CHAPTER 11 (2021): Derivatives - Interest Rate Swap Derivative - A financial instrument that derives its value from movement in commodity price, foreign exchange rate, and interest rate of an underlying asset or financial instrument - An executory contract, or exchange of promises about future action Financial risks a. Price risk b. Credit risk c. Interest rate risk d. Foreign currency risk Measurement of derivatives - As asset or liability at fair value Change in fair value - Unrealized gain or loss is recognized Recognition of change in fair value (OCI or P/L) depends on: a. Derivative is not designated as a hedging instrument - P/L b. Derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge - Recognized in OCI - Ineffective portion is recognized in P/L c. Derivative is designated as a fair value hedge - P/L CHAPTER 14: Cash and Accrual Basis Cash Basis Accrual Basis Recognition: a. Income - when received, regardless of when earned b. Expense - when paid, regardless of when incurred Recognition: a. Income - when earned, regardless of when received b.

Classify items in FS: monetary or nonmonetary a. Monetary items are not restated b. Nonmonetary items are restated ➔ Apply GPI from acquisition to end of period ➔ Some are already carried at amounts current, i.e. NRV and FV 2. Some nonmonetary items are carried at amount current at a date other than acquisition date, i.e. revalued PPE ➔ Restate the carrying amounts from the date of revaluation 3. All income statement items are restated ➔ Apply change in GPI from when I/E were initially recorded ➔ Average index 4. Compute general PP gain or loss for monetary items, include in P/L Statement 5. Reduce restated PPE, goodwill, intangibles amounts if it exceeds recoverable amount 6. Eliminate revaluation surplus previously recognized 7. RE is balancing figure in restated SFP 8.
