IAS 10 THROUGH A FEW EXAMPLES
EXAMPLES OF ADJUSTING EVENTS
Example 1
Facts : Settlement of a court case after the reporting
date –
A client sued the company for damage against the
company’s failure to fulfil warranty amounting to Rs.
2 Lacs. The company created a provision of Rs. 1 lac
based on legal advice.
After the end of reporting period but before the date
of authorization of financial statements the court
decided against the company and a compensation of
Rs. 1.5 lac was awarded.
CA Rajiv Kohli
CA Deepti Kheror
Analysis of Example 1 : This issue is covered in IAS 10.9(a). The entity shall
adjust the previously recognized provision under IAS
37 or create a new provision.
 It has now to provide for addition of Rs. 0.5 lac. The
entity does not merely disclose a contingent liability
since the settlement provides an additional evidence.
CA Rajiv Kohli
CA Deepti Kheror
Example 2
Facts : After approval of the accounts by the board of
directors, your client a construction company met a
rocky surface on a project, against which it expects a
non-reimbursable cost of Rs. 80 Lacs. The project is
expected to be a loss project and the entire estimated
loss other than Rs. 80 lacs has already been provided
for. The audit report has not been issued. The
amount is material. Advise on the accounting.
CA Rajiv Kohli
CA Deepti Kheror
Analysis of Example 2 : The condition of rocky surface existed on the balance
sheet date, though it was identified after the balance
sheet date. The Board of Directors should revise the
financial statements, since the accounts are still not
audited.
 Had the accounts been audited and approved at the
AGM, revision would have not been permissible.
CA Rajiv Kohli
CA Deepti Kheror
Example 3
Facts : Whether a liability on wage revisions for past periods
on which agreement was reached or expected to
reach after the balance sheet date to be recognized at
the balance sheet date?
CA Rajiv Kohli
CA Deepti Kheror
Analysis of Example 3 : The company was aware on the balance sheet date, that the
revision of past wages was probable as it had sent proposals
in respect thereof although the final amount was subject to
approval of the government and settlement with its
workers.
 Since the condition about the wage revision existed at the
balance sheet date the liability arising from wage revision
subsequent to the balance sheet date but in respect of past
wages should be provided in the accounts based on a
best estimate.

IAS 10 THROUGH A FEW EXAMPLES
EXAMPLES OF NON-ADJUSTING EVENTS
Example 1

Cheques received after the balance sheet date
but bearing Balance Sheet or Pre Balance Sheet
Date:In accordance with ICAI opinion, published in the
ICAI journal of February 2005, cheques received after
the balance sheet date, though containing the
balance sheet date or pre balance sheet date should
not be recognized in the financial statements. This is
in accordance with the accounting framework for
recognition of assets and liabilities.

COMPARISON OF ADJUSTING & NONADJUSTING EVENT
Particulars Adjusting Event (I)
Non-Adjusting Event (II)
Analysis of
the Example
Since the fire took place on 15th
April, 1993 as a result of which the
debtor became insolvent, it is not
a condition at the balance sheet
date. Thus, it is non-adjusting
event and provision of debtors is
not required to be made at the
balance sheet date. However,
appropriate
disclosures
are
required to be made in the report
of the board of directors.
Since the fire took place before
the year end, the condition of
insolvency was existing at the
balance sheet date. Thus it is an
adjusting event for which a
provision of doubtful debt needs
to be created at the balance sheet
date.

AS 4
Proposed
Dividend
If dividends to holders of equity
instruments are proposed or
declared after the balance sheet
date, an entity should not recognize
those dividends as a liability at the
balance sheet date. Proposed
Dividend is a non-adjusting event.
The companies are
required
to
make
provision for proposed
dividend, even though
the same are declared
after the balance sheet
date.

Comparison of AS 4( Revised
20XX), IAS 10 & IFRIC 17
 Requirements contained in the AS 4 (Revised 20XX) same as those
contained in IAS 10
 No difference between the AS 4 (Revised 20XX), IAS 10 and, IFRIC 17
CA Rajiv Kohli
CA Deepti Kheror
Conflicting issues with Schedule VI
 Dividend declared entity after the reporting period, is not recognised
as a liability at end of the reporting period under AS 4 (Revised 20XX).
Such dividend required to be disclosed in notes to balance sheet, in
accordance with AS 1 (Revised 20XX)
 In contrast, dividend declared but not paid or proposed dividend both
shown as liability in financial statements as per requirements of
Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956

APPLICATION AT TIME OF
IMPLEMENTING IFRS 1
 At date of transition to IFRS, an entity may need to make
estimates under IFRS that were not required at that date under
Indian GAAP
 To achieve consistency with IAS 10, those estimates under IFRS
shall reflect conditions that existed at the date of transition to
IFRS
 Eg: a constructive obligation that was not recognised under
Indian GAAP should be included in opening IFRS Balance Sheet
using estimates for expected future cash outflows and discount
rates that existed at that time
