F7-Conceptual framework Flashcards
Purpose of conceptual framework (3)
-Assist IASB to develop IFRS that are base on cosistent concepts
-Assist to prepare of accounts to develop accounting policies in cases there is no IFRS
-Assist all parties to understand and interpret IFRSs
Advantage and disadvantage of conceptual framework.
1.Advantage (4):
-Accounting standards developed on the same theoretical principles -> avoid a haphazard (lung tung) approach to setting standard and should lead to standardised acc practices.
-Development acc standard is less subject to political pressure
-Acc standard use a consistent approach (without conceptual framwork, may can concentrated on P/L while other focus on valuation of net assets)
-A principle-based apprach avoids the need for large volumes of “rules” to address every scenario.Instead, same underlying principles can be applied to any scenario
2.DISADVANTAGES (3):
-Not certain that a single conceptual framwork can be suit all users.
-Diversity of user requirement may need variety of acc standards.
-Not clear that conceptual framwork makes task of preparing and then implementing standards any easier than without a framwork
