8.1 Introduction
8.2 Accounting for inventory
8.3 Accounting for account receivables
8.4 Accounting for notes receivables
8.5 Bank reconciliation statement
3. Current Assets
• Current assets are the liquid assets and can be converted into cash
within short period of time.
• Current assets are assets that are: [IAS 1.66]
oexpected to be realized in the entity's normal operating cycle
oheld primarily for the purpose of trading
oexpected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period
ocash and cash equivalents (unless restricted).
Examples of current assets are:
Cash in hand, cash at bank, trade/accounts receivable, notes
receivable, short-term investment in share and bond, inventories (raw
materials, work-in-process, finished goods, supplies), prepayments.
4. Accounting for Inventories [IAS-2]
• Inventories include assets held for:
I. sale in the ordinary course of business (finished goods),
II. assets in the production process for sale in the ordinary course of business
(work in process), and
III. materials and supplies that are consumed in production (raw materials).
• Details of IAS 2 can be accessed at:
https://www.iasplus.com/en/standards/ias/ias2
5. Measurement of Inventories
• Inventories cost should include all:
I. costs of purchase (including taxes, transport, and handling) net of trade discounts
received
II. costs of conversion (including fixed and variable manufacturing overheads) and
III. other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and
condition
• Inventory cost should not include: [IAS 2.16 and 2.18]
o abnormal waste
o storage costs
o administrative overheads unrelated to production
o selling costs
o foreign exchange differences arising directly on the recent acquisition of inventories
invoiced in a foreign currency
o interest cost when inventories are purchased with deferred settlement terms.
6. Measurement of Inventories
• IAS 2 outlines acceptable methods of determining cost:
1. specific identification (inventory items that are not interchangeable),
2. first-in first-out (FIFO) [For items that are interchangeable] or
3. weighted average cost [For items that are interchangeable]
Note that the LIFO formula, which had been allowed prior to the 2003 revision of IAS 2, is no longer
allowed.
Also note that the same cost formula should be used for all inventories with similar characteristics as to
their nature and use to the entity. For groups of inventories that have different characteristics, different
cost formulas may be justified.
• IAS 2 requires inventories to be measured/reported at the lower of cost
and (market) net realizable value (NRV).
• NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
7. Inventory system
• Selection of an inventory recording system such as:
1. Periodic Inventory System
2. Perpetual Inventory System

Purchase of goods Purchase A/C Dr.
Trade or Accounts payable/cash Cr.
Inventories A/C Dr.

8. Note that IAS 2 suggests
• When inventories are sold and revenue is recognized, the carrying
amount of those inventories is recognized as an expense (often called
cost-of-goods-sold). Any write-down to NRV and any inventory losses
are also recognized as an expense when they occur.
• So, perpetual inventory system is preferable to periodic inventory
system.
9. Cost Flow Methods
Specific identification method:
• This method is applicable where the size of a single unit of inventory is huge
and highly valuable/costly. They can easily be counted and costs records for
each unit is available conveniently and economically.
• For example, suppose that an automobile dealer has three trucks in stock.
Every detail about the trucks is identical with the exception on the serial
numbers which are 1001,1002 and 1003 respectively. The dealer incurred
the following cost for each truck: 1001: $30,000; 1002: $32,000; 1003:
$35,000. A customer enters the dealership and offers $34,000 for one of
the trucks. Depending on which truck the dealer sells, the dealer could
recognize net income of $4,000, $2,000 or a loss of $1,000.
• The ability to manipulate net income is a theoretical fault of the specific
identification approach.
10. First in First out (FIFO) Costing Method
• To compute cost of goods sold: Multiply the quantity of goods sold by
the cost of inventory starting with the oldest cost.
• To compute ending inventory value: Multiply the quantity of ending
inventory by the cost of inventory starting with the most recent cost.
Weighted average cost method
Determine the average cost of each unit by dividing the total costs of
inventory by the total quantity of inventories hold during the period.
COGS: Unit sold multiplied by weighted average cost
Ending inventory: Units on hand multiplied by weighted average cost.

18. • Cost of goods sold under specific identification method:
• March 5: [(1100 × 0.60) + (1100× 0.65)]= $1375
• March 30: [ (450 × 0.60)+ (550 × 0.65)+ (2900 × 0.72)+ (1100 × 0.80)]= $ 3595.50
• Cost of goods sold under FIFO method = (2000 × 0.60) + (2500 × 0.65) +
(2700 × 0.72) =
Ending inventory = (1300 × 0.72) + (2,500 × 0.80) =

21. Accounts Receivable/Trade Receivables
Receivables are claims against customers and others for goods sold on
credit, or services rendered on credit, or money lent to customers and others.
Receivables may arise either from trade or non-trade transactions.
Trade receivables or accounts receivables arise/emerge from trade or sales
of goods on account/ on credit.
Non-trade receivables arise/emerge from transactions other than sales of
goods or services including advances to employees, travel advances etc.
22. Methods of recoding Receivable expense/ uncollectible/bad and
doubtful debt/irrecoverable debt [Expected credit loss]
Bad debts/ uncollectible/doubtful debt/ irrecoverable debts represent the portion of receivables that
cannot be collected within a stipulated long-term period usually 3 years. There are two methods of
recording uncollectible:
Methods of recording uncollectible
Direct write-off method Allowance method
Percentage on sales
A fixed-percentage
Percentage on Receivables
Aging schedule
23. Direct write-off vs. Allowance method
• In direct write-off method, bad debts are recorded as and when the name of a receivable is written
off from the books of accounts after waiting for a certain periods usually 3 years. This method is
recommended by tax authority. The journal entry to record such transaction would be:
Receivable expense/Bad debt expense Dr.
Trade/Accounts Receivable-Mr. X/Y/Z Cr.
However, this method violates the matching or expense recognition principle in the sense that
corresponding/related expenses are recognized in a period different from the revenue recognition
period.
• In contrast, Allowance/Provision method recognizes bad debt in the period in which the sales are
made by estimating a certain percentage of credit sales or outstanding receivables. An allowance or
provision is created for the doubtful portion of receivables or credit sales [now-a-days known as
expected credit loss-ECL]. When the receivables are truly become uncollectible, the accumulated
allowance is used to write-off such receivables. This method is recommended in the IAS/IFRS in the
presentation of financial statements.

30. Aging Schedule and allowance for doubtful debt
XZ Company operates in an industry that has a high rate of bad debts. Before any year-end
adjustments, the balance in XZ’S accounts receivable account was Tk 470,000 and the allowance
for doubtful accounts had a credit balance of Tk 40,000. The year-end balance reported in the
balance sheet for the allowance for doubtful accounts will be based on the aging schedule shown
below:

34. Notes receivables
• A promissory note which is usually accepted by the seller from the buyer in the
event of failure to make payment of dues within the stipulated time. It usually
bears interest on balance due for the period for which the note is issued.
• Example: On July 17, 2021, received a Tk 12,000, 90-day, 10% note on account
from Adams Co. Here, due date for the note should be October 15 (July 14 days
+ August 31 days + September 30 days + October 15 days). Interest earned
during the term of the note should be Tk300 (Tk 12,000 x .10 x 90 days/360
days). Maturity value of the note should be Tk 12,300 (principal + interest).
• Journal entries if the note is honored on the maturity date:
Debit Cash 12,300
Credit Notes receivable 12,000
Credit Interest receivable 300
• Journal entries if the note is dishonored on the maturity date:
Debit Account receivable 12,300
Credit Notes receivable 12,000
Credit Interest receivable 300
35. Bank Reconciliation Statement
• At the end of each month, the bank with which a company/business
maintains account usually sends a bank statement that shows the
beginning balance, transactions during the month, and month-end
balance. If the accountants of the business finds disagreement between
the month-end balance displayed in its cash book/account’s balance and
bank statement's balance, a bank reconciliation statement is prepared by
the business to find the reasons for such disagreement.
• Purposes of Bank Reconciliation Statement:
1. To judge the accuracy of the cash book/accounts balances
2. To judge the accuracy of bank statement
3. To find out transactions recorded by bank but not recorded by the business and
vice versa
36. Reasons for disagreement between cash book balance and bank
statement balance
• Outstanding check: Check written by the company (and therefore recorded
in the company’s book) but not presented to the bank for clearance
• Deposit-in-transit: Deposit recorded by the company but not presented to
the bank until the end of the month
• Bank charge: Various fees and charges deducted by the bank from the
depositor’s accounts
• Bank interest: Interest given by the bank on the balances of accounts
• Payments collected by the banks without the knowledge of the business
• Errors made by either parties
• NSF Check: Non-sufficient funds check received from customers/ A/R
