F1 (IS+BS, IS discont op, Acct change+error correction, AJE) Flashcards
reporting in RE for changes in entity, estimate, and error (AP change)
Change in est = prospective
Change in entity = restate
Error = PPA (restate)
Notes to FS disclosures (relevant to decision makers and integral part of FS)
- change in SE
- contingency
- off BS contracted obligations
- pension plan
- post BS but before FS issued
- related party
- significant est/risk
- products, customers’ geography
What is included in total revenues and total expenses and losses?
Total revenue = R + G
Total expenses + losses =
expenses, losses, and ITE
HFS criteria:
- Mgt commits to a plan to sell component
- available for immediate sale in its present condition
- active program to locate buyer is initiated
- sale of component is probable and sale is expected to be completed in 1 year
- sale of component is actively marketed
When a component is classified as HFS:
- an impairment analysis of the component must be conducted
- is considered discont’d op’s, also discont’d if it has been disposed of
- once class’d as HFS, it is measured at LC-NRV
disposal of component/group is reported as discont’d op’s if:
represents strategic shift or will have major effect on entity’s operations and financial results
- strategic shift examples:
- disposal of a major geographic area
- disposal of major equity method investment
- disposal of major line of business
Comparative vs. Noncomparative FS for change in AP:
- Comparative: diff b/w BB RE and RE if retro’ly applied to all prior affected periods
- Noncomparative: diff b/w BB RE in first period presented and RE if retro’ly applied to all prior periods
change in AP (net tax) GR:
One acceptable method of acct (GAAP to GAAP or IFRS to IFRS)
Because new method presents the fin info more fairly than old method
Exception: change in dep to LIFO (inseparable from change in est)
- change in est = prospective
- change in entity = restate BB RE
- error correction = PPA and restate BB RE
Selling Expenses:
- freight out
- sales salaries and commissions
- advertising
G+A expenses:
- general OH
- officer’s salaries
- accounting and legal fees

- loss accruals
neither a change in AP or estimate: [prospective]
- change from FV method to equity method (due to increase in ownership)
- adopt new equity method as of date investment qualifies as equity method
- retro adj not req’d (cost of acq’ing add’l int in investee is added to CV of prev’ly held investment)
- if investment was prev’ly accounted for as AFS, recognize the “un” G/L from AOCI
- adopting pension plan for all employees

- never involves cash
* all AJE will hit 1 IS account and 1 BS account
