Q

Cash basis vs ASPE (accrual)

A

Cash basis
- Timing of transactions - recorded when cash exchanged not when transaction occurs (Ex. Purchase of equipment recorded when invoice is paid)

- Preferred by Investors/Creditors - provides more reasonable view on entity’s financials including receivables/payables

- significant adverse in legal factors or business climate that could impact value
- accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for its acquisition
- reasonable expectation that asset will be sold/disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life
