Similar to GAAP, IFRS requires errors to be corrected __A___.
A. retrospectively
E.g. If an error occurred in Year 1, but the entity starts reporting in Year 2, the statement of financial position for Year 1 would be corrected for the amount of the loss accrued but recorded in Year 1 ONLY
Fill in the Blank.
Disclosures should…….
(1) NOT duplicate details disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements
(2) be an integral part of the financial statements
WHAT happens when you fail to accrue sales commissions earned in an operating year?
INCOME would be overstated and current liabilities would be understated
THIS would cause working capital to be overstated
NOTE: If the expense is paid in the following year this would correct Retained Earnings (HOW?), because the accrued expense would be overstated and net income understated by the same amount from the previous year
WHAT happens if a company enters into a multi-year, non-cancelable contract and decides to cancel sales of the product in the midst of the contract?
THEY would be on the hook for the “minimal annual guarantee” amount from the contract for the contract period
(e.g. Three-years)
WHEN calculating the date of transition to IFRS…….
You would use the date of the earliest statement of financial position presented in the entity’s first set of IFRS financial statements
E.g. company will present one year of comparative information…..and the company adopts IFRS in the middle of the second year…the earliest period will be as of 1/1/1 to prepare Balance Sheet (B/S)
