Income statement (IS)
Format of Income Statement
An income statement summarizes the income
and expenditure of the company over a period
of time. If income exceeds expenditure, the
business gets a profit, if vice versa, a loss occurs
Income: Increases in economic benefits during
the accounting period In the form of
- inflows or enhancements of assets; or
- decreases of liabilities
that result in increase in equity, other than
those relating to contributions to equity
participants
Expenses: Decrease in economic benefits
during the accounting period in the form of
- outflows or depletions of assets;
- incurrences of liabilities
that result in decreases in equity, other than
those relating to distributions to equity
participants
Format of Statement of Financial Position
The Statement of Financial
Position is a statement of assets
owned, liabilities owed and equity
of a business at a particular date.
An asset is a resource controlled by
an entity as a result of past events
and from which future economic
benefits are expected to flow to the
entity.
A liability is a present obligation of
the entity arising from past events,
the settlement of which is
expected to result in an outflow
from the entity of resources
embodying economic benefits

Format for the Statement of Cash Flow
A cash flow statement summarizes the cash inflows
(receipts) and cash outflows (payments) for a given period.
The cash flow statement provides historical information
about cash and cash Equivalents.

Books of prime entry
Sales day book
 The sales day book is the book of prime entry for
credit sales. The sales day book is used to keep a list
of all invoices sent out to customers each day.
Purchase day book
 A business also keeps a record in the purchase day
book of all the invoices it receives. The purchase day
book is the book of prime entry for credit purchases.
Sales returns day book
 When customers return goods for some reason, a
credit note is raised. All credit notes are recorded in
the sales returns day book.
 The sales returns day book is the book of prime
entry for credit notes raised.
 Where a business has very few sales returns, it may
record a credit note as a negative entry in the sales
day book.
Purchase returns day book
 The purchase returns day book records credit notes
received in respect of goods which the business sends
back to its suppliers.
 The purchase returns day book is the book of prime
entry for credit notes received from suppliers.
 A business with very few purchase returns may record
a credit note received as a negative entry in the
purchase day book
Books of prime entry
Cash book
 The cash book may be a manual record or a
computer file. It records all transactions that go
through the bank account.
 The cash book deals with money paid into and out of
the business bank account.
 The cash book is the book of prime entry for cash
receipts and payments.
Bank statements
 Weekly or monthly, a business will receive a bank
statement. Bank statements should be used to check
that the amount shown as a balance in the cash book
agrees with the amount on the bank statement, and
that no cash has 'gone missing'.
Petty cash book
 Most businesses keep petty cash on the premises,
which is topped up from the main bank account. Under
the imprest system, the petty cash is kept at an
agreed sum, so that each topping up is equal to the
amount paid out in the period.
 A small amount of cash on the premises to make
occasional small payments in cash, eg staff
refreshments, postage stamps, to pay the office
cleaner, taxi fares, etc. This is often called the cash
float or petty cash account.
 A petty cash book is a cash book for small payments.

Chapter 6 &
14-16
The Trial Balance (TB)
At suitable intervals, the entries in each ledger account are totaled and a balance is struck. Balances are usually collected
in a trial balance which is then used as a basis for preparing a statement of profit or loss and a statement of financial
position.
A trial balance is a list of ledger balances shown in debit and credit columns.
Steps to prepare the Trial Balance (TB):
► Step 1: Collect of ledger accounts
► Step 2: Balance ledger accounts
► Step 3: Collect the balances
► Step 4: Check and reconcile
Financial Statements
A profit or loss ledger account is opened up to gather all items relating to income and expenses. When rearranged,
these items make up the statement of profit or loss.
STATEMENT OF PROFIT AND LOSS
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
The balances on all remaining ledger accounts (including the profit or loss account) can be listed and rearranged to
form the statement of financial position.
These remaining accounts must also be balanced and ruled off, but since they represent assets and liabilities of the
business (not income and expenses) their balances are not transferred to the P/L account. Instead they are carried
down in the books of the business. This means that they become opening balances for the next accounting period
and indicate the value of the assets and liabilities at the end of one period and the beginning of the next.
Balancing off/Closing off ledger accounts
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
Total both sides
of the T-account
and find the
larger total
Put the larger
total in the total
box on the debit
and credit side.
Insert a balancing
figure to the side
which does not
currently add up to
the amount in the
total box. Call this
balancing figure
‘balance c/f’ (carried
forward) or ‘balance
c/d’ (carried down).
Step 4
Carry the
balance down
diagonally and
call it ‘balance
b/f’ (brought
forward) or
‘balance b/d’
(brought down).
BALANCING OFF A LEDGER ACCOUNT
Balancing off/Closing off ledger accounts
BALANCING OFF A LEDGER ACCOUNT

Assets/liabilities at the end of a period = Assets/liabilities

Balancing the account will result in:
► A balance c/f (being the asset/liability at the end of
the accounting period)
► A balance b/f (being the asset/liability at the start of
the next accounting period).
Profit or Loss ledger accounts
► At the end of a period any amounts that relate to that
period are transferred out of the income and
expenditure accounts into another ledger account
called profit or loss.
► Do not show a balance c/f or balance b/f but instead
put the balancing figure on the smallest side and label
it ‘profit or loss'.

ERRORS
ERRORS OF TRANSPOSITION
An error of transposition is when two digits in a figure are accidentally recorded the wrong way round.
For example, suppose that a sale is recorded in the sales account as $6,843, but it has been incorrectly
recorded in the total receivables account as $6,483. The error is the transposition of the 4 and the 8. The
consequence is that total debits will not be equal to total credits. You can often detect a transposition error by
checking whether the difference between debits and credits can be divided exactly by 9. For example, $6,843 –
$6,483 = $360; $360/9 = 40.
ERRORS OF OMISSIONS
An error of omission means failing to record a transaction at all, or making a debit or credit entry, but not the
corresponding double entry.
(a) If a business receives an invoice from a supplier for $250, the transaction might be omitted from the books
entirely. As a result, both the total debits and the total credits of the business will be incorrect by $250.
(b) If a business receives an invoice from a supplier for $300, the payables control account might be credited, but
the debit entry in the purchases account might be omitted. In this case, the total credits would not equal total
debits (because total debits are $300 less than they ought to be).
ERRORS OF PRINCIPLE
An error of principle involves making a double entry in the belief that the transaction is being entered in the
correct accounts, but subsequently finding out that the accounting entry breaks the 'rules' of an accounting
principle or concept.
(a) For example, repairs to a machine costing $150 should be treated as revenue expenditure, and debited to a
repairs account. If, instead, the repair costs are added to the cost of the non-current asset (capital
expenditure) an error of principle would have occurred. As a result, although total debits still equal total
credits, the repairs account is $150 less than it should be and the cost of the non-current asset is $150
greater than it should be.
(b) Similarly, suppose that the proprietor of the business sometimes takes cash out of the till for their personal
use and during a certain year these withdrawals on account of profit amount to $280. The bookkeeper states that
they have reduced cash sales by $280 so that the cash book could be made to balance. This would be an error
of principle, and the result of it would be that the withdrawal account is understated by $280, and so is the total
value of sales in the sales account.
ERRORS OF COMMISSION
Errors of commission are where the bookkeeper makes a mistake in carrying out their task of recording
transactions in the accounts.
(a) Putting a debit entry or a credit entry in the wrong account. For example, if telephone expenses of $540
are debited to the electricity expenses account, an error of commission would have occurred. The result is
that although total debits and total credits balance, telephone expenses are understated by $540 and
electricity expenses are overstated by the same amount.
(b) Errors of casting (adding up). The total daily credit sales in the sales day book should be $28,425, but are
incorrectly added up as $28,825. The total sales in the sales day book are then used to credit total sales and
debit total receivables in the ledger accounts. Although total debits and total credits are still equal, they are
incorrect by $400.
COMPENSATING ERRORS
Compensating errors are errors which are, coincidentally, equal and opposite to one another.
For example, although unlikely, in theory two transposition errors of $540 might occur in extracting ledger
balances, one on each side of the double entry. In the administration expenses account, $2,282 might be written
instead of $2,822 while, in the sundry income account, $8,391 might be written instead of $8,931. Both the debits
and the credits would be $540 too low, and the mistake would not be apparent when the trial balance is cast.
Consequently, compensating errors hide the fact that there are errors in the trial balance.
SUSPENSE ACCOUNT
A suspense account is a temporary account which can be opened for a number of reasons. The most common
reasons are as follows.
(a) A trial balance is drawn up which does not balance (ie total debits do not equal total credits).
(b) The bookkeeper of a business knows where to post the credit side of a transaction, but does not know where
to post the debit (or vice versa). For example, a cash payment might be made and must obviously be credited to
cash. But the bookkeeper may not know what the payment is for, and so will not know which account to debit.
SALES TAX
Definition
Sales tax is an indirect tax levied on the sale of goods and services. It is usually administered by the local tax
authorities.
Some sales tax is irrecoverable. Where sales tax is irrecoverable it must be regarded as part of the cost of the
items purchased and included in the statement of profit or loss charge or in the statement of financial position
as appropriate.

The value of closing inventories is accounted for in the nominal ledger by debiting an inventory account and
crediting the profit or loss account at the end of an accounting period. Inventory will therefore have a debit
balance at the end of a period, and this balance will be shown in the statement of financial position as a current
asset.

The standard lists types of cost which would not be included in cost of inventories. Instead, they should be
recognised as an expense in the period they are incurred.
► Abnormal amounts of wasted materials, labour or other production costs
► Storage costs (except costs which are necessary in the production process before a further production stage)
► Administrative overheads not incurred to bring inventories to their present location and conditions
► Selling costs

Unit cost This is the actual cost of purchasing
identifiable units of inventory.
Only used when items of inventory are
individually distinguishable and of high value

For costing purposes, the first items of
inventory received are assumed to be the
first ones sold.
The cost of closing inventory is the cost of the

Depreciation Accounting
The cost of a non-current asset, less its estimated residual value, is allocated fairly between accounting periods
by means of depreciation. Depreciation is both of the following:
► Charged against profit (PL);
► Deducted from the value of the non-current asset in the statement of financial position.
Two methods of depreciation are specified in your syllabus.
► The straight line method
► The reducing balance method
Depreciation charge = (Cost – Residual value)/Useful life
Straight-line method
Reducing balance

Depreciation charge = X % × carrying amount
Dr Depreciation expense
Cr Accumulated depreciation
Double entry
Depreciation Accounting
The period over which a depreciable asset is expected to be used by the enterprise; or the number of production
or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by the enterprise.
The following factors should be considered when estimating the useful life of a depreciable asset.
► Expected physical wear and tear
► Obsolescence
► Legal or other limits on the use of the assets
USEFUL LIFE
The net amount which the entity expects to obtain for an asset at the end of its useful life after deducting the
expected costs of disposal
RESIDUAL VALUE
► Expected useful life
► method of depreciation
► residual value
CHANGE PROSPECTIVELY
Revaluation of Non-current Assets
When a non-current asset is revalued, depreciation is charged on the revalued amount.
The gain on revaluation is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, as
other comprehensive income. From here, the 'gain' is transferred to a revaluation surplus (sometimes called a
revaluation reserve), part of capital in the statement of financial position.
If Non-current assets were to be subsequently sold for the revalued amount, the profit would be realized and
could be taken to the statement of profit or loss.
The accounting entries to record the depreciation charge each year would therefore be as follows:
► To record the new annual depreciation charge
DEBIT Depreciation expense (statement of profit or loss)
CREDIT Accumulated depreciation account (statement of financial position)
► To record the transfer of the excess depreciation
DEBIT Revaluation surplus (statement of financial position)
CREDIT Retained earnings (statement of financial position)
► To record revaluation downwards
DEBIT Revaluation surplus
DEBIT NCA - Accumulated depreciation account
CREDIT NCA - Cost
Non-current assets disposal
When a non-current asset is sold, there is likely to be a profit or loss on disposal. This is the difference
between the net sale price of the asset and its carrying amount at the time of disposal.
Profit/loss on disposal is charged directly to PL in that period.
The ledger accounting entries are as follows:
► with the cost of the asset disposed of.
DEBIT Disposal of non-current asset account
CREDIT Non-current asset account
► with the accumulated depreciation on the asset as at the date of sale.
DEBIT Accumulated depreciation account
CREDIT Disposal of non-current asset account
► with the income from disposal
DEBIT Receivable account or cash book
CREDIT Disposal of non-current asset account
Non-current assets disposal
A business purchased a non-current asset on 1 January 20X1 for $25,000. It had an estimated life of 6 years and an
estimated residual value of $7,000. The asset was eventually sold after 3 years on 1 January 20X4 to another trader

LEARNING OUTCOMES OVERVIEW
Definition
Tangible Non-current Assets
► Normally have physical substance, e.g land and
buildings
► Normally involve expenditure being incurred
► Cost of the tangible non-current asset is
capitalized
► Depreciation is a reflection of the wearing out of
the asset
Intangible Non-current Assets
► Do not normally have physical substance, e.g
copyright
► Can be purchased or may be created within a
business without any expenditure being incurred,
i.e internally generated, e.g brands.
► Purchased intangible non-current assets are
capitalized. Generally, internally generated assets
may not be capitalized.
► Amortization is a reflection of a wearing out of the
(capitalized) assets
Intangible assets are non-current assets with no physical substance.
Research and Development costs
original and planned investigation undertaken with the
prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge
and understanding
Research Development
the application of research findings or other knowledge to
a plan or design for the production of new or substantially
improved materials, devices, products, processes,
systems or services prior to the commencement of
commercial production or use
R&D Costs
All costs that are directly attributable to R&D activities, or that
can be allocated on a reasonable basis ( Salaries, wages,
costs of materials and services, depreciation, overhead costs

PIRATE ► Once capitalised as an asset, development costs must be
amortised and recognised as an expense to match the costs
with the related revenue or cost savings. The amortisation
will begin when the asset is available for use.
► Amortisation must be done on a systematic basis to reflect
the pattern in which the related economic benefits are
recognised.
► Impairment (fall in value of an asset) is a possibility, but is
perhaps more likely with development costs, when the asset
is linked with success of the development. The development
costs should be written down.
► If the useful life of an intangible asset is finite, the
capitalized development costs must be amortised once
commercial exploitation begins.
► An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life should not be
amortised. Instead, it should be subject to an annual
impairment review.
Disclosure in financial statements
► IAS 38 requires both numerical and narrative disclosures for
intangible assets.
► The financial statements should show a reconciliation of the
carrying amount of intangible assets at the beginning and at
the end of the period. The reconciliation should show the
movement on intangible assets, including: Additions,
disposal, reductions in carrying amount, amortization, any
other movements).

Irrecoverable debts
► Irrecoverable debts are specific debts owed to a business which it decides are never going to be paid. They
are written off as an expense in the statement of profit or loss.
► An irrecoverable (or 'bad') debt is a debt which is definitely not expected to be paid. An irrecoverable debt
could occur when, for example, a customer has gone bankrupt.
► According to the Conceptual Framework an asset is a resource controlled by an entity from which future
economic benefits are expected to flow. If the customer can't pay, then no economic benefits are expected to
flow from the trade receivable. So the trade receivable no longer meets the definition of an asset and it must
be removed from the statement of financial position and is charged as an expense in the statement of profit or
loss.

Doubtful debts
► A doubtful debt is a debt which is possibly
irrecoverable.
► Doubtful debts may occur, for example, when an
invoice is in dispute, or when a customer is in
financial difficulty.
► There is doubt over whether the debt will be paid, an allowance for receivables is made against the doubtful debt. Allowance
for receivables. An impairment amount in relation to receivables that reduces the receivables asset to its recoverable
amount in the statement of financial position. It is offset against trade receivables, which are shown at the net amount.
► The allowance against the trade receivables balance is made after writing off any irrecoverable debts.

Control Accounts
A control account keeps a total record of a number of individual items. It is an impersonal account which is part of the double
entry system.
A control account is an account in the nominal ledger in which a record is kept of the total value of a number of similar but
individual items. Control accounts are used chiefly for trade receivables and payables.
► (a) A receivables control account is an account in which records are kept of transactions involving all receivables in total.
The balance on the receivables control account at any time will be the total amount due to the business at that time from
its receivables.
► (b) A payables control account is an account in which records are kept of transactions involving all payables in total. The
balance on this account at any time will be the total amount owed by the business at that time to its payables.
A control account is an (impersonal) ledger account which will appear in the nominal ledger

Total cash received from
debtors and discounts
Receivables control

Payables control accounts
Control Accounts & Personal Accounts
The personal accounts of individual customers of the business are kept in the receivables ledger, and the amount owed by
each receivable will be a balance on the receivable's personal account. The amount owed by all the receivables together (ie all
the trade receivables) will be a balance on the receivables control account.
At any time the balance on the receivables control account should be equal to the sum of the individual balances on the
personal accounts in the receivables ledger.
DISCOUNTS
Trade discount
is a reduction in the list price of an
article, given by a wholesaler or
manufacturer to a retailer. It is often
given in return for bulk purchase
orders.
Cash (Settlement) discount
is a reduction in the amount payable
in return for payment in cash, or
within an agreed period.
Trade discount
1. A customer is quoted a price of $1 per unit for a particular item, but a lower
price of 95 cents per unit if the item is bought in quantities of 100 units or
more at a time.
2. An important customer or a regular customer is offered a discount on all
the goods the customer buys, regardless of the size of each individual order,
because the total volume of the customer's purchases over time is so large.
Cash (Settlement) discount
A supplier charges $1,000 for goods, but offers a discount of 5% if the goods
are paid for immediately in cash. Alternatively, a supplier charges $2,000 to a
credit customer for goods purchased, but offers a discount of 10% for
payment within so many days of the invoice date

Reconciliation
Definition and Process
In theory, the entries appearing on a
business's bank statement should be
exactly the same as those in the
business cash book. The balance
shown by the bank statement should
be the same as the cash book balance
on the same date.
A bank reconciliation is a
comparison of a bank statement (sent
monthly, weekly or even daily by the
bank) with the cash book. Differences
between the balance on the bank
statement and the balance in the cash
book will be errors or timing
differences, and they should be
identified and satisfactorily explained.

BANK RECONCILIATION
Corrections and adjustments to the cash book:
(i) Payments made into the bank account or from the bank account by way of standing order or
direct debit, which have not yet been entered in the cash book
(ii) Dividends received (on investments held by the business), paid direct into the bank account
but not yet entered in the cash book
(iii) Bank interest and bank charges, not yet entered in the cash book
(iv) Errors in the cash book that need to be corrected
The corrected cash book balance is the balance that is shown in the statement of financial
position.
BANK RECONCILIATION
Items reconciling the corrected cash book balance to the bank statement
(i) Cheques drawn (ie paid) by the business and credited in the cash book, which have not yet
been presented to the bank, or 'cleared', and so do not yet appear on the bank statement. These
are commonly known as unpresented cheques or outstanding cheques.
(ii) Cheques received by the business, paid into the bank and debited in the cash book, but which
have not yet been cleared and entered in the account by the bank, and so do not yet appear on
the bank statement. These are commonly known as outstanding lodgements or deposits
credited after date.
(iii) Electronic payments that have not yet been cleared.
At 30 September 20X6, the balance in the cash book of Wordsworth Co was $805.15 debit. A
bank statement on 30 September 20X6 showed Wordsworth Co to be in credit by $1,112.30.
On investigation of the difference between the two sums, it was established that:
(a) The cash book had been undercast by $90.00 on the debit side*
(b) Cheques paid in not yet credited by the bank amounted to $208.20, called outstanding
lodgements
(c) Cheques drawn not yet presented to the bank amounted to $425.35 called unpresented
cheques
* Note. 'Casting' is an accountant's term for adding up.
Required
(a) Show the correction to the cash book.
(b) Prepare a statement reconciling the balance per bank statement to the balance per cash
book.
On 31 January 20X8 a company's cash book showed a credit balance of $150 on its current account which did
not agree with the bank statement balance. In performing the reconciliation the following points came to light.
$
Not recorded in the cash book:
Bank charges 36
Transfer from deposit account to current account 500
Not recorded on the bank statement:
Unpresented cheques 116
Outstanding lodgements 630
It was also discovered that the bank had debited the company's account with a cheque for $400 in error.
What was the original balance on the bank statement?
INCOMPLETE RECORDS
Incomplete records questions may test your ability to prepare accounts in the following situations.
• A trader does not maintain a ledger and therefore has no continuous double entry record of
transactions.
• Accounting records are destroyed by accident, such as fire.
• Some essential figure is unknown and must be calculated as a balancing figure. This may occur as a
result of inventory being damaged or destroyed, or because of misappropriation of assets.
The task of preparing the final accounts involves the following.
(a) Establishing the cost of purchases and other expenses
(b) Establishing the total amount of sales
(c) Establishing the amount of accounts payable, accruals, accounts receivable and
prepayments at the end of the year

Orlean Flames is a shop which sells fashion clothes. On 1 January 20X5, it had trade inventory which
cost $7,345. During the nine months to 30 September 20X5, the business purchased goods from
suppliers costing $106,420. Sales during the same period were $154,000. The shop makes a gross
profit of 40% on cost for everything it sells. On 30 September 20X5, there was a fire in the shop which
destroyed most of the inventory in it. Only a small amount of inventory, known to have cost $350, was
undamaged and still fit for sale.
How much of the inventory was lost in the fire?

IFRS 15- Revenue from contracts with customer
IFRS 15 governs the recognition of revenue arising from contracts with customers.
Revenue is income arising in the ordinary course of an entity's activities, such as sales and fees.
(1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer
(2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract
(3) Determine the transaction price
(4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
(5) Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Revenue is income arising in the course of an entity’s ordinary activities.
Income is increases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of inflows or
enhancements of assets or decreases of liabilities that result in an increase in equity, other than
those relating to contributions from equity participants.
A contract is an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and
obligations.
A customer is a party that has contracted with an entity to obtain goods or services that are an
output of the entity’s ordinary activities in exchange for consideration.
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer to the
customer either: a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or a series
of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of
transfer to the customer.
Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in
exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts
collected on behalf of third parties.
Cash/settlement discounts allowed
If a customer is expected to take up a cash/settlement discount allowed, the discount is deducted
from the invoiced amount when recording the revenue. If the customer subsequently does not take
up the discount, the discount is then recorded as revenue.
If the customer is not expected to take up the discount, the full invoiced amount is recognised as
revenue when recording the sale. If the customer subsequently does take up the discount, revenue
is then reduced by the discount.
TDF is a company that manufactures office furniture. A customer placed an order on 22 December
20X4 for an office desk at a price of $300 plus sales tax at 20% of $60. The desk was delivered to the
customer on 25 January 20X5, who accepted the goods as satisfactory by signing a delivery note. TDF
then invoiced the customer for the goods on 1 February 20X5. The customer paid $360 to TDF on 1
March 20X5.
Required
How should TDF account for revenue?
Applying the five step model:
(1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer:
A customer placed an order for a desk. This represents a contract to supply the desk.
(2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract:
There is one performance obligation, the delivery of a satisfactory desk.
(3) Determine the transaction price:
This is the price agreed as per the order, ie $300. Note that sales tax is not included since transaction price as
defined by IFRS 15 does not include amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
(4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract:
There is one performance obligation, therefore the full transaction price is allocated to the performance of the
obligation of the delivery of the desk.
(5) Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation:
Since the customer has signed a delivery note to confirm acceptance of the goods as satisfactory, this is
evidence that TDF has fulfilled its performance obligation and can therefore recognise $300 in January 20X5.

Preference shares
Preference shares carry the right to a final dividend which is expressed as a percentage of their par value.
Eg: 6% $1 preference share carries a right to an annual dividend of 6c. Preference dividends have priority over ordinary
dividend
Rights of Preference shares:
1. Preference shareholders have a priority right to a return of their capital over ordinary shareholders if the company goes
into liquidation.
2. Preference shares do not carry a right to vote.
3. If the preference shares are cumulative, it means that before a company can pay an ordinary dividend it must not only pay
the current year's preference dividend but must also make good any arrears of preference dividends unpaid in previous
years

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are shares which are not preferred with regard to dividend payments. Thus a holder only receives a
dividend after fixed dividends have been paid to preference shareholders.
Example:
Garden Gloves Co has issued 50,000 ordinary shares of 50 cents each and 20,000 7% preference shares of $1 each. Its
profits after taxation for the year to 30 September 20X5 were $8,400. The management board has decided to pay an
ordinary dividend (ie a dividend on ordinary shares) which is 50% of profits after tax and preference dividend.
Required
Show the amount in total of dividends and of retained profits, and calculate the dividend per share on ordinary

Loan stock or bonds
• Limited liability companies may issue loan stock or bonds.
• These are long-term liabilities. In some countries they are described as loan capital because they are a means of raising
finance, in the same way as issuing share capital raises finance

Shareholders are members of a company Providers of loan capital are creditor
Shareholders receive dividends (appropriations of profit)
Holders of loan capital are entitled to a fixed rate of

Definition
► Events after the reporting period which provide additional evidence of conditions existing at the reporting date will
cause adjustments to be made to the assets and liabilities in the financial statements.
► IAS 10 Events after the reporting period requires the provision of additional information in order to facilitate such an
understanding. IAS 10 deals with events after the reporting date which may affect the position at the reporting date.
► Events after the reporting period: An event which could be favourable or unfavourable, that occurs between the
reporting period and the date that the financial statements are authorised for issue. (IAS 10)
► Adjusting event: An event after the reporting period that provides further evidence of conditions that existed at the
reporting period.
Adjusting events
Events that provide further evidence
of conditions that existed at the
reporting date should be adjusted for
in the financial statements.
Non-adjusting events
Events which do not affect the situation
at the reporting date should not be
adjusted for, but should be disclosed in
the financial statements.
Adjusting Events and Non Adjusting Events

historical information about cash and cash
equivalents, classifying cash flows between
operating, investing and financing activities.
A statement of cash flows should be presented as an
integral part of an entity's financial statements. All
types of entity can provide useful information about
cash flows, as the need for cash is universal,
whatever the nature of their revenue-producing
activities. Therefore all entities are required by the
standard to produce a statement of cash flows.
Classification of activities in cash flows
The standard gives the following definitions, the most important of which
are cash and cash equivalents.
► Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits.
► Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject
to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
► Cash flows are inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents.
► Operating activities are the principal revenue-producing activities of
the enterprise and other activities that are not investing or financing
activities.
► Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of non-current
assets and other investments not included in cash equivalents.
► Financing activities are activities that result in changes in the size
and composition of the equity capital and borrowings of the entity.

Operating activities
Most of the components of cash flows from operating activities will be those items which determine the net profit or loss of
the enterprise, ie they relate to the main revenue-producing activities of the enterprise.
The standard gives the following as examples of cash flows from operating activities:
(a) Cash receipts from the sale of goods and the rendering of services
(b) Cash receipts from royalties, fees, commissions and other revenue
(c) Cash payments to suppliers for goods and services
(d) Cash payments to and on behalf of employees
Certain items may be included in the net profit or loss for the period which do not relate to operational cash flows; for
example, the profit or loss on the sale of a piece of plant will be included in net profit or loss, but the cash flows will be
classed as investing.
Investing activities
The cash flows classified under this heading show the extent of new investment in assets which will generate future profit
and cash flows. The standard gives the following examples of cash flows arising from investing activities.
(a) Cash payments to acquire property, plant and equipment, intangibles and other non-current assets, including those
relating to capitalised development costs and self-constructed property, plant and equipment
(b) Cash receipts from sales of property, plant and equipment, intangibles and other non-current assets
(c) Cash payments to acquire shares or debentures of other enterprises
(d) Cash receipts from sales of shares or debentures of other enterprises
(e) Cash advances and loans made to other parties
(f) Cash receipts from the repayment of advances and loans made to other parties
Financing activities
The standard gives the following examples of cash flows which might arise under these headings.
(a) Cash proceeds from issuing shares
(b) Cash payments to owners to acquire or redeem the enterprise's shares
(c) Cash proceeds from issuing debentures, loans, notes, bonds, mortgages and other short- or long term borrowings
(d) Cash repayments of amounts borrowed
Methods
2 ways of
creating a cash
flow statement
Direct method Indirect method
disclose major classes of gross cash
receipts and gross cash payments
net profit or loss is adjusted for the
effects of transactions of a non-
cash nature, any deferrals or
accruals of past or future operating
cash receipts or payments, and
items of income or expense
associated with investing or
financing cash flows
Direct method example
Boggis Co had the following transactions during the year.
(a) Purchases from suppliers were $19,500, of which $2,550 was unpaid at the year end. Brought forward payables were $1,000.
(b) Wages and salaries amounted to $10,500, of which $750 was unpaid at the year end. The accounts for the previous year showed an accrual for
wages and salaries of $1,500.
(c) Interest of $2,100 on a long-term loan was paid in the year.
(d) Sales revenue was $33,400, including $900 receivables at the year end. Brought forward receivables were $400.
(e) Interest on cash deposits at the bank amounted to $75.
Indirect method
The net profit or loss for the period is adjusted for the following:
(a) Changes during the period in inventories, operating receivables and payables
(b) Non-cash items, eg depreciation, provisions, profits/losses on the sales of assets
(c) Other items, the cash flows from which should be classified under investing or financing activities
Indirect method
(a) Depreciation is not a cash expense, but is deducted in arriving at the profit figure in the statement of profit or
loss. It makes sense, therefore, to eliminate it by adding it back.
(b) By the same logic, a loss on a disposal of a non-current asset (arising through underprovision of depreciation)
needs to be added back and a profit deducted.
(c) An increase in inventories means less cash – you have spent cash on buying inventory.
(d) An increase in receivables means the company's receivables have not paid as much, and therefore there is less
cash.
(e) If we pay off payables, causing the figure to decrease, again we have less cash
Interest & Dividends
Cash flows from interest and dividends received and paid should each be disclosed separately. Each should be classified in a
consistent manner from period to period.
(a) Interest paid should be classified as an operating cash flow or a financing cash flow.
(b) Interest received and dividends received should be classified as operating cash flows or, more usually, as investing cash
flows.
(c) Dividends paid by the enterprise should be classified as an operating cash flow, so that users can assess the enterprise's
ability to pay dividends out of operating cash flows or, more usually, as a financing cash flow, showing the cost of obtaining
financial resources.
Indirect method
Principles
The treatment is logical if you think in terms of cash:
(a) Increase in inventory is treated as negative (in brackets). This is because it represents a cash
outflow; cash is being spent on inventory.
(b) An increase in receivables would be treated as negative for the same reasons; more receivables
means less cash.
(c) By contrast, an increase in payables is positive because cash is being retained and not used to settle
accounts payable. There is therefore more of it.
Step 1
Set out the
proforma

cash flows
Step 2
Begin with the
reconciliation of
profit before tax
to net cash from
operating
activities as far
as possible
Step 3
Calculate the
cash flow figures
for dividends

or sale of NCA,
issue of shares
and repayment
of loans if these
are not already
Step 4
Open up a

Step 5
Be able to
complete the
statement by
slotting in the
figures given or

1 Control An investor controls an investee when the investor is exposed, or has rights, to
variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to
affect those returns through power over the investee
2 Power Existing rights that give the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the
investee
3 Subsidiary An entity that is controlled by another entity
4 Parent An entity that controls one or more subsidiaries
5 Group A parent and all its subsidiaries
6 Associate An entity over which an investor has significant influence and which is neither a
subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture
7 Significant
influence
The power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of an
investee but it is not control or joint control over those policies
Basic Principles of Consolidation
► Consolidation means adding together (uncancelled items).
► Consolidation means cancellation of like items internal to the group.
► Consolidate as if you owned everything then show the extent to which you do not.
Keep these basic principles in mind as you work through the detailed techniques of consolidated financial statements.
Basic Principles of Consolidation
Control
owns more than half (ie over 50%) of the voting power of an
entity unless it can be clearly shown that such ownership does
not constitute control (these situations will be very rare)
over more than 50% of the voting rights by virtue of agreement
with other investors
govern the financial and operating policies of the entity by
statute or under an agreement.

ANALYSIS

turnover
PBIT/ SALES SALES / CAPITAL EMPLOYED
A warning about comments on profit margin and asset turnover
(a) A high profit margin means a high profit per $1 of sales but, if this also means that sales prices are
high, there is a strong possibility that sales turnover will be depressed, and so asset turnover lower.
(b) A high asset turnover means that the company is generating a lot of sales, but to do this it might
have to keep its prices down and so accept a low profit margin per $1 of sales.
Debt ratio
(a) Assets consist of non-current assets at their statement of financial position value, plus current assets.
(b) Debts consist of all payables, whether they are due within one year or after more than one year.
There is no absolute guide to the maximum safe debt ratio but, as a very general guide, you might regard 50% as
a safe limit to debt. In practice, many companies operate successfully with a higher debt ratio than this, but 50% is
nonetheless a helpful benchmark
Gearing/leverage
Gearing or leverage is concerned with a company's long-term capital structure. We can think of a
company as consisting of non-current assets and net current assets (ie working capital, which is current
assets minus current liabilities). These assets must be financed by long-term capital of the company, which is
either:
(a) Shareholders' equity
(b) Long-term debt
There is no absolute limit to what a gearing ratio
ought to be. A company with a gearing ratio of
more than 50% is said to be highly geared,
whereas low gearing means a gearing ratio of less
than 50%
Leverage is the term used to describe the converse of gearing, ie the proportion of total assets financed by
equity, and which may be called the equity to assets ratio. It is calculated as follows
Interest cover
The interest cover ratio shows whether a company is earning enough PBIT to pay its interest costs comfortably,
or whether its interest costs are high in relation to the size of its profits, so that a fall in PBIT would then have a
significant effect on profits available for ordinary shareholders
Short-term solvency and liquidity
Liquidity is the amount of cash a company can put its hands on quickly to settle its debts (and possibly to
meet other unforeseen demands for cash payments too).
Liquid funds consist of:
(a) Cash
(b) Short-term investments for which there is a ready market
(c) Fixed-term deposits with a bank or other financial institution, for example, a six month high-interest deposit with
a bank
(d) Trade receivables (because they will pay what they owe within a reasonably short period of time)
The Cash Cycle
Cash goes out to pay for supplies, wages and salaries and other expenses, although payments can be
delayed by taking some credit. A business might hold inventory for a while and then sell it. Cash will come
back into the business from the sales, although customers might delay payment by themselves taking some
credit.
The main points about the cash cycle are as follows:
► Cash flows out can be postponed by taking credit. Cash flows in can be delayed by having receivables
► The time between making a purchase and making a sale also affects cash flows
► Holding inventories and having payables can therefore be seen as two reasons why cash receipts are
delayed.
► Similarly, taking credit from creditors can be seen as a reason why cash payments are delayed.
The liquidity ratios and working capital turnover ratios are used to test a company's liquidity, length of
cash cycle and investment in working capital.
Liquidity ratios: current ratio and quick ratio
A current ratio in excess of 1 should be expected.
The quick ratio should ideally be at least 1 for companies with a slow inventory
turnover. For companies with a fast inventory turnover, a quick ratio can be
comfortably less than 1 without suggesting that the company should be in cash
flow trouble
Efficiency ratios: control of receivables and inventories and payables

  • 38. The Trial Balance (TB) At suitable intervals, the entries in each ledger account are totaled and a balance is struck. Balances are usually collected in a trial balance which is then used as a basis for preparing a statement of profit or loss and a statement of financial position. A trial balance is a list of ledger balances shown in debit and credit columns. Steps to prepare the Trial Balance (TB): ► Step 1: Collect of ledger accounts ► Step 2: Balance ledger accounts ► Step 3: Collect the balances ► Step 4: Check and reconcile
  • 39. Financial Statements A profit or loss ledger account is opened up to gather all items relating to income and expenses. When rearranged, these items make up the statement of profit or loss. STATEMENT OF PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION The balances on all remaining ledger accounts (including the profit or loss account) can be listed and rearranged to form the statement of financial position. These remaining accounts must also be balanced and ruled off, but since they represent assets and liabilities of the business (not income and expenses) their balances are not transferred to the P/L account. Instead they are carried down in the books of the business. This means that they become opening balances for the next accounting period and indicate the value of the assets and liabilities at the end of one period and the beginning of the next.
  • 40. Balancing off/Closing off ledger accounts Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Total both sides of the T-account and find the larger total Put the larger total in the total box on the debit and credit side. Insert a balancing figure to the side which does not currently add up to the amount in the total box. Call this balancing figure ‘balance c/f’ (carried forward) or ‘balance c/d’ (carried down). Step 4 Carry the balance down diagonally and call it ‘balance b/f’ (brought forward) or ‘balance b/d’ (brought down). BALANCING OFF A LEDGER ACCOUNT
  • 41. Balancing off/Closing off ledger accounts BALANCING OFF A LEDGER ACCOUNT Balance sheet ledger accounts Assets/liabilities at the end of a period = Assets/liabilities at start of the next period. Balancing the account will result in: ► A balance c/f (being the asset/liability at the end of the accounting period) ► A balance b/f (being the asset/liability at the start of the next accounting period). Profit or Loss ledger accounts ► At the end of a period any amounts that relate to that period are transferred out of the income and expenditure accounts into another ledger account called profit or loss. ► Do not show a balance c/f or balance b/f but instead put the balancing figure on the smallest side and label it ‘profit or loss'.

  • 47. CORRECTION OF ERRORS ERRORS OF TRANPOSITION ERRORS OF OMISSIONS ERRORS OF PRINCIPLE ERRORS OF COMMISSION COMPENSATING ERRORS
  • 48. ERRORS OF TRANSPOSITION An error of transposition is when two digits in a figure are accidentally recorded the wrong way round. For example, suppose that a sale is recorded in the sales account as $6,843, but it has been incorrectly recorded in the total receivables account as $6,483. The error is the transposition of the 4 and the 8. The consequence is that total debits will not be equal to total credits. You can often detect a transposition error by checking whether the difference between debits and credits can be divided exactly by 9. For example, $6,843 – $6,483 = $360; $360/9 = 40.
  • 49. ERRORS OF OMISSIONS An error of omission means failing to record a transaction at all, or making a debit or credit entry, but not the corresponding double entry. (a) If a business receives an invoice from a supplier for $250, the transaction might be omitted from the books entirely. As a result, both the total debits and the total credits of the business will be incorrect by $250. (b) If a business receives an invoice from a supplier for $300, the payables control account might be credited, but the debit entry in the purchases account might be omitted. In this case, the total credits would not equal total debits (because total debits are $300 less than they ought to be).
  • 50. ERRORS OF PRINCIPLE An error of principle involves making a double entry in the belief that the transaction is being entered in the correct accounts, but subsequently finding out that the accounting entry breaks the 'rules' of an accounting principle or concept. (a) For example, repairs to a machine costing $150 should be treated as revenue expenditure, and debited to a repairs account. If, instead, the repair costs are added to the cost of the non-current asset (capital expenditure) an error of principle would have occurred. As a result, although total debits still equal total credits, the repairs account is $150 less than it should be and the cost of the non-current asset is $150 greater than it should be. (b) Similarly, suppose that the proprietor of the business sometimes takes cash out of the till for their personal use and during a certain year these withdrawals on account of profit amount to $280. The bookkeeper states that they have reduced cash sales by $280 so that the cash book could be made to balance. This would be an error of principle, and the result of it would be that the withdrawal account is understated by $280, and so is the total value of sales in the sales account.
  • 51. ERRORS OF COMMISSION Errors of commission are where the bookkeeper makes a mistake in carrying out their task of recording transactions in the accounts. (a) Putting a debit entry or a credit entry in the wrong account. For example, if telephone expenses of $540 are debited to the electricity expenses account, an error of commission would have occurred. The result is that although total debits and total credits balance, telephone expenses are understated by $540 and electricity expenses are overstated by the same amount. (b) Errors of casting (adding up). The total daily credit sales in the sales day book should be $28,425, but are incorrectly added up as $28,825. The total sales in the sales day book are then used to credit total sales and debit total receivables in the ledger accounts. Although total debits and total credits are still equal, they are incorrect by $400.
  • 52. COMPENSATING ERRORS Compensating errors are errors which are, coincidentally, equal and opposite to one another. For example, although unlikely, in theory two transposition errors of $540 might occur in extracting ledger balances, one on each side of the double entry. In the administration expenses account, $2,282 might be written instead of $2,822 while, in the sundry income account, $8,391 might be written instead of $8,931. Both the debits and the credits would be $540 too low, and the mistake would not be apparent when the trial balance is cast. Consequently, compensating errors hide the fact that there are errors in the trial balance.
  • 53. SUSPENSE ACCOUNT A suspense account is a temporary account which can be opened for a number of reasons. The most common reasons are as follows. (a) A trial balance is drawn up which does not balance (ie total debits do not equal total credits). (b) The bookkeeper of a business knows where to post the credit side of a transaction, but does not know where to post the debit (or vice versa). For example, a cash payment might be made and must obviously be credited to cash. But the bookkeeper may not know what the payment is for, and so will not know which account to debit.
  • 55. Definition Sales tax is an indirect tax levied on the sale of goods and services. It is usually administered by the local tax authorities. Some sales tax is irrecoverable. Where sales tax is irrecoverable it must be regarded as part of the cost of the items purchased and included in the statement of profit or loss charge or in the statement of financial position as appropriate. Sales tax paid on purchases (input tax) Dr Purchases – (net cost) Dr Sales tax (sales tax) Cr Payables/cash – (gross cost) Sales tax charged on sales (output tax) Dr Receivables/cash (gross selling price) Cr Sales – (net selling price) Cr Sales tax (sales tax)
  • 57. Learning outcomes 1. Definition of Inventory, cost of sales 2. Methods of valuing inventory 3. IAS 02 – INVENTORY LEARNING OUTCOMES Inventory Valuation Adjustment Cost NRV Opening Closing
  • 58.
  • 59. Cost of goods sold Cost of good sold (COGS) = Opening inventory + purchases – closing inventory Format: Opening inventory value X + Add cost of purchases (or, in the case of a manufacturing company, the cost of production) X X - Less closing inventory value (X) Cost of goods sold X The value of closing inventories is accounted for in the nominal ledger by debiting an inventory account and crediting the profit or loss account at the end of an accounting period. Inventory will therefore have a debit balance at the end of a period, and this balance will be shown in the statement of financial position as a current asset.

Instead, they should be recognised as an expense in the period they are incurred. ► Abnormal amounts of wasted materials, labour or other production costs ► Storage costs (except costs which are necessary in the production process before a further production stage) ► Administrative overheads not incurred to bring inventories to their present location and conditions ► Selling costs Method Key points Conditions Unit cost This is the actual cost of purchasing identifiable units of inventory. Only used when items of inventory are individually distinguishable and of high value FIFO – first in first out For costing purposes, the first items of inventory received are assumed to be the first ones sold. The cost of closing inventory is the cost of the most recent purchases of inventory. AVCO – Average cost The cost of an item of inventory is calculated by taking the average of all inventory held. The average cost can be calculated periodically or continuously. CALCULATION COST OF INVENTORY

  • 69. Depreciation Accounting The cost of a non-current asset, less its estimated residual value, is allocated fairly between accounting periods by means of depreciation. Depreciation is both of the following: ► Charged against profit (PL); ► Deducted from the value of the non-current asset in the statement of financial position. Two methods of depreciation are specified in your syllabus. ► The straight line method ► The reducing balance method Depreciation charge = (Cost – Residual value)/Useful life Straight-line method Reducing balance method Depreciation charge = X % × carrying amount Dr Depreciation expense Cr Accumulated depreciation Double entry
  • 70. Depreciation Accounting The period over which a depreciable asset is expected to be used by the enterprise; or the number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by the enterprise. The following factors should be considered when estimating the useful life of a depreciable asset. ► Expected physical wear and tear ► Obsolescence ► Legal or other limits on the use of the assets USEFUL LIFE The net amount which the entity expects to obtain for an asset at the end of its useful life after deducting the expected costs of disposal RESIDUAL VALUE ► Expected useful life ► method of depreciation ► residual value CHANGE PROSPECTIVELY
  • 71. Revaluation of Non-current Assets When a non-current asset is revalued, depreciation is charged on the revalued amount. The gain on revaluation is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, as other comprehensive income. From here, the 'gain' is transferred to a revaluation surplus (sometimes called a revaluation reserve), part of capital in the statement of financial position. If Non-current assets were to be subsequently sold for the revalued amount, the profit would be realized and could be taken to the statement of profit or loss. The accounting entries to record the depreciation charge each year would therefore be as follows: ► To record the new annual depreciation charge DEBIT Depreciation expense (statement of profit or loss) CREDIT Accumulated depreciation account (statement of financial position) ► To record the transfer of the excess depreciation DEBIT Revaluation surplus (statement of financial position) CREDIT Retained earnings (statement of financial position) ► To record revaluation downwards DEBIT Revaluation surplus DEBIT NCA - Accumulated depreciation account CREDIT NCA - Cost
  • 72. Non-current assets disposal When a non-current asset is sold, there is likely to be a profit or loss on disposal. This is the difference between the net sale price of the asset and its carrying amount at the time of disposal. Profit/loss on disposal is charged directly to PL in that period. The ledger accounting entries are as follows: ► with the cost of the asset disposed of. DEBIT Disposal of non-current asset account CREDIT Non-current asset account ► with the accumulated depreciation on the asset as at the date of sale. DEBIT Accumulated depreciation account CREDIT Disposal of non-current asset account ► with the income from disposal DEBIT Receivable account or cash book CREDIT Disposal of non-current asset account
  • 73. Non-current assets disposal A business purchased a non-current asset on 1 January 20X1 for $25,000. It had an estimated life of 6 years and an estimated residual value of $7,000. The asset was eventually sold after 3 years on 1 January 20X4 to another trader who paid $17,500 for it. What was the profit or loss on disposal, assuming that the business uses the straight line method for depreciation?

The amortisation will begin when the asset is available for use. ► Amortisation must be done on a systematic basis to reflect the pattern in which the related economic benefits are recognised. ► Impairment (fall in value of an asset) is a possibility, but is perhaps more likely with development costs, when the asset is linked with success of the development. The development costs should be written down. ► If the useful life of an intangible asset is finite, the capitalized development costs must be amortised once commercial exploitation begins. ► An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life should not be amortised. Instead, it should be subject to an annual impairment review. Disclosure in financial statements ► IAS 38 requires both numerical and narrative disclosures for intangible assets. ► The financial statements should show a reconciliation of the carrying amount of intangible assets at the beginning and at the end of the period. The reconciliation should show the movement on intangible assets, including: Additions, disposal, reductions in carrying amount, amortization, any other movements).

They are written off as an expense in the statement of profit or loss. ► An irrecoverable (or 'bad') debt is a debt which is definitely not expected to be paid. An irrecoverable debt could occur when, for example, a customer has gone bankrupt. ► According to the Conceptual Framework an asset is a resource controlled by an entity from which future economic benefits are expected to flow. If the customer can't pay, then no economic benefits are expected to flow from the trade receivable. So the trade receivable no longer meets the definition of an asset and it must be removed from the statement of financial position and is charged as an expense in the statement of profit or loss.

A control account is an account in the nominal ledger in which a record is kept of the total value of a number of similar but individual items. Control accounts are used chiefly for trade receivables and payables. ► (a) A receivables control account is an account in which records are kept of transactions involving all receivables in total. The balance on the receivables control account at any time will be the total amount due to the business at that time from its receivables. ► (b) A payables control account is an account in which records are kept of transactions involving all payables in total.

A customer is quoted a price of $1 per unit for a particular item, but a lower price of 95 cents per unit if the item is bought in quantities of 100 units or more at a time. 2. An important customer or a regular customer is offered a discount on all the goods the customer buys, regardless of the size of each individual order, because the total volume of the customer's purchases over time is so large. Cash (Settlement) discount A supplier charges $1,000 for goods, but offers a discount of 5% if the goods are paid for immediately in cash. Alternatively, a supplier charges $2,000 to a credit customer for goods purchased, but offers a discount of 10% for payment within so many days of the invoice date

  • 124. Revenue is income arising in the course of an entity’s ordinary activities. Income is increases in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of inflows or enhancements of assets or decreases of liabilities that result in an increase in equity, other than those relating to contributions from equity participants. A contract is an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations. A customer is a party that has contracted with an entity to obtain goods or services that are an output of the entity’s ordinary activities in exchange for consideration. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer to the customer either: a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
  • 125. Cash/settlement discounts allowed If a customer is expected to take up a cash/settlement discount allowed, the discount is deducted from the invoiced amount when recording the revenue. If the customer subsequently does not take up the discount, the discount is then recorded as revenue. If the customer is not expected to take up the discount, the full invoiced amount is recognised as revenue when recording the sale. If the customer subsequently does take up the discount, revenue is then reduced by the discount.
  • 126. TDF is a company that manufactures office furniture. A customer placed an order on 22 December 20X4 for an office desk at a price of $300 plus sales tax at 20% of $60. The desk was delivered to the customer on 25 January 20X5, who accepted the goods as satisfactory by signing a delivery note. TDF then invoiced the customer for the goods on 1 February 20X5. The customer paid $360 to TDF on 1 March 20X5. Required How should TDF account for revenue?
  • 127. Applying the five step model: (1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer: A customer placed an order for a desk. This represents a contract to supply the desk. (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract: There is one performance obligation, the delivery of a satisfactory desk. (3) Determine the transaction price: This is the price agreed as per the order, ie $300. Note that sales tax is not included since transaction price as defined by IFRS 15 does not include amounts collected on behalf of third parties. (4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: There is one performance obligation, therefore the full transaction price is allocated to the performance of the obligation of the delivery of the desk. (5) Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation: Since the customer has signed a delivery note to confirm acceptance of the goods as satisfactory, this is evidence that TDF has fulfilled its performance obligation and can therefore recognise $300 in January 20X5.
  • 130. Preference shares Preference shares carry the right to a final dividend which is expressed as a percentage of their par value. Eg: 6% $1 preference share carries a right to an annual dividend of 6c. Preference dividends have priority over ordinary dividend Rights of Preference shares: 1. Preference shareholders have a priority right to a return of their capital over ordinary shareholders if the company goes into liquidation. 2. Preference shares do not carry a right to vote. 3. If the preference shares are cumulative, it means that before a company can pay an ordinary dividend it must not only pay the current year's preference dividend but must also make good any arrears of preference dividends unpaid in previous years
  • 131. Preference shares Classification Definition Examples Treatment Redeemable preference shares the company will redeem (repay) the nominal value of those shares at a later date. Redeemable 5% $1 preference shares 20X9' means that the company will pay these shareholders $1 for every share they hold on a certain date in 20X9. The shares will then be cancelled and no further dividends paid. • Treated like loans and are included as non-current liabilities in the statement of financial position; • Reclassify them as current liabilities if the redemption is due within 12 months; • Dividends paid on redeemable preference shares are treated like interest paid on loans and are included in financial costs in the statement of profit or loss. Irredeemable preference shares treated just like other shares. They form part of equity and their dividends are treated as appropriations of profit.
  • 132. Ordinary shares Ordinary shares are shares which are not preferred with regard to dividend payments. Thus a holder only receives a dividend after fixed dividends have been paid to preference shareholders.

Cash flows accounting LEARNING OUTCOMES OVERVIEW The need for a cash flow statement Format of a cash flow statement Preparation of cash flow statement Interpretation using a cash flow statement
  • 147. Preparing Statement of Cash flows Statements of cash flows are a useful addition to the financial statements of a company because accounting profit is not the only indicator of performance. They concentrate on the sources and uses of cash and are a useful indicator of a company's liquidity and solvency. IAS 7 Objectives Scope Provide information for users of financial statements about an entity's ability to generate cash and cash equivalents, as well as indicating the cash needs of the entity. The statement of cash flows provides historical information about cash and cash equivalents, classifying cash flows between operating, investing and financing activities. A statement of cash flows should be presented as an integral part of an entity's financial statements. All types of entity can provide useful information about cash flows, as the need for cash is universal, whatever the nature of their revenue-producing activities. Therefore all entities are required by the standard to produce a statement of cash flows.
  • 148. Classification of activities in cash flows The standard gives the following definitions, the most important of which are cash and cash equivalents. ► Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. ► Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. ► Cash flows are inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents. ► Operating activities are the principal revenue-producing activities of the enterprise and other activities that are not investing or financing activities. ► Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of non-current assets and other investments not included in cash equivalents. ► Financing activities are activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the equity capital and borrowings of the entity. Operating activities Investing activities Financing activities
  • 149. Operating activities Most of the components of cash flows from operating activities will be those items which determine the net profit or loss of the enterprise, ie they relate to the main revenue-producing activities of the enterprise. The standard gives the following as examples of cash flows from operating activities: (a) Cash receipts from the sale of goods and the rendering of services (b) Cash receipts from royalties, fees, commissions and other revenue (c) Cash payments to suppliers for goods and services (d) Cash payments to and on behalf of employees Certain items may be included in the net profit or loss for the period which do not relate to operational cash flows; for example, the profit or loss on the sale of a piece of plant will be included in net profit or loss, but the cash flows will be classed as investing.
  • 150. Investing activities The cash flows classified under this heading show the extent of new investment in assets which will generate future profit and cash flows. The standard gives the following examples of cash flows arising from investing activities. (a) Cash payments to acquire property, plant and equipment, intangibles and other non-current assets, including those relating to capitalised development costs and self-constructed property, plant and equipment (b) Cash receipts from sales of property, plant and equipment, intangibles and other non-current assets (c) Cash payments to acquire shares or debentures of other enterprises (d) Cash receipts from sales of shares or debentures of other enterprises (e) Cash advances and loans made to other parties (f) Cash receipts from the repayment of advances and loans made to other parties
  • 151. Financing activities The standard gives the following examples of cash flows which might arise under these headings. (a) Cash proceeds from issuing shares (b) Cash payments to owners to acquire or redeem the enterprise's shares (c) Cash proceeds from issuing debentures, loans, notes, bonds, mortgages and other short- or long term borrowings (d) Cash repayments of amounts borrowed
  • 152. Methods 2 ways of creating a cash flow statement Direct method Indirect method disclose major classes of gross cash receipts and gross cash payments net profit or loss is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non- cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments, and items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash flows
  • 153. Direct method example Boggis Co had the following transactions during the year. (a) Purchases from suppliers were $19,500, of which $2,550 was unpaid at the year end. Brought forward payables were $1,000. (b) Wages and salaries amounted to $10,500, of which $750 was unpaid at the year end. The accounts for the previous year showed an accrual for wages and salaries of $1,500. (c) Interest of $2,100 on a long-term loan was paid in the year. (d) Sales revenue was $33,400, including $900 receivables at the year end. Brought forward receivables were $400. (e) Interest on cash deposits at the bank amounted to $75.
  • 154. Indirect method The net profit or loss for the period is adjusted for the following: (a) Changes during the period in inventories, operating receivables and payables (b) Non-cash items, eg depreciation, provisions, profits/losses on the sales of assets (c) Other items, the cash flows from which should be classified under investing or financing activities
  • 155. Indirect method (a) Depreciation is not a cash expense, but is deducted in arriving at the profit figure in the statement of profit or loss. It makes sense, therefore, to eliminate it by adding it back. (b) By the same logic, a loss on a disposal of a non-current asset (arising through underprovision of depreciation) needs to be added back and a profit deducted. (c) An increase in inventories means less cash – you have spent cash on buying inventory. (d) An increase in receivables means the company's receivables have not paid as much, and therefore there is less cash. (e) If we pay off payables, causing the figure to decrease, again we have less cash
  • 156. Interest & Dividends Cash flows from interest and dividends received and paid should each be disclosed separately. Each should be classified in a consistent manner from period to period. (a) Interest paid should be classified as an operating cash flow or a financing cash flow. (b) Interest received and dividends received should be classified as operating cash flows or, more usually, as investing cash flows. (c) Dividends paid by the enterprise should be classified as an operating cash flow, so that users can assess the enterprise's ability to pay dividends out of operating cash flows or, more usually, as a financing cash flow, showing the cost of obtaining financial resources.
  • 157.
  • 158. Indirect method Principles The treatment is logical if you think in terms of cash: (a) Increase in inventory is treated as negative (in brackets). This is because it represents a cash outflow; cash is being spent on inventory. (b) An increase in receivables would be treated as negative for the same reasons; more receivables means less cash. (c) By contrast, an increase in payables is positive because cash is being retained and not used to settle accounts payable. There is therefore more of it. Step 1 Set out the proforma statement of cash flows Step 2 Begin with the reconciliation of profit before tax to net cash from operating activities as far as possible Step 3 Calculate the cash flow figures for dividends paid, purchase or sale of NCA, issue of shares and repayment of loans if these are not already Step 4 Open up a working for the trading, income and expense account Step 5 Be able to complete the statement by slotting in the figures given or calculated

  • 164. Basic Principles of Consolidation ► Consolidation means adding together (uncancelled items). ► Consolidation means cancellation of like items internal to the group. ► Consolidate as if you owned everything then show the extent to which you do not. Keep these basic principles in mind as you work through the detailed techniques of consolidated financial statements.

  • 193. ROCE Profit margin Asset turnover PBIT/ SALES SALES / CAPITAL EMPLOYED A warning about comments on profit margin and asset turnover (a) A high profit margin means a high profit per $1 of sales but, if this also means that sales prices are high, there is a strong possibility that sales turnover will be depressed, and so asset turnover lower. (b) A high asset turnover means that the company is generating a lot of sales, but to do this it might have to keep its prices down and so accept a low profit margin per $1 of sales.
  • 194. Debt ratio (a) Assets consist of non-current assets at their statement of financial position value, plus current assets. (b) Debts consist of all payables, whether they are due within one year or after more than one year. There is no absolute guide to the maximum safe debt ratio but, as a very general guide, you might regard 50% as a safe limit to debt. In practice, many companies operate successfully with a higher debt ratio than this, but 50% is nonetheless a helpful benchmark
  • 195. Gearing/leverage Gearing or leverage is concerned with a company's long-term capital structure. We can think of a company as consisting of non-current assets and net current assets (ie working capital, which is current assets minus current liabilities). These assets must be financed by long-term capital of the company, which is either: (a) Shareholders' equity (b) Long-term debt There is no absolute limit to what a gearing ratio ought to be. A company with a gearing ratio of more than 50% is said to be highly geared, whereas low gearing means a gearing ratio of less than 50%
  • 196. Leverage is the term used to describe the converse of gearing, ie the proportion of total assets financed by equity, and which may be called the equity to assets ratio. It is calculated as follows
  • 197. Interest cover The interest cover ratio shows whether a company is earning enough PBIT to pay its interest costs comfortably, or whether its interest costs are high in relation to the size of its profits, so that a fall in PBIT would then have a significant effect on profits available for ordinary shareholders
  • 198. Short-term solvency and liquidity Liquidity is the amount of cash a company can put its hands on quickly to settle its debts (and possibly to meet other unforeseen demands for cash payments too). Liquid funds consist of: (a) Cash (b) Short-term investments for which there is a ready market (c) Fixed-term deposits with a bank or other financial institution, for example, a six month high-interest deposit with a bank (d) Trade receivables (because they will pay what they owe within a reasonably short period of time)
  • 199. The Cash Cycle Cash goes out to pay for supplies, wages and salaries and other expenses, although payments can be delayed by taking some credit. A business might hold inventory for a while and then sell it. Cash will come back into the business from the sales, although customers might delay payment by themselves taking some credit. The main points about the cash cycle are as follows: ► Cash flows out can be postponed by taking credit. Cash flows in can be delayed by having receivables ► The time between making a purchase and making a sale also affects cash flows ► Holding inventories and having payables can therefore be seen as two reasons why cash receipts are delayed. ► Similarly, taking credit from creditors can be seen as a reason why cash payments are delayed. The liquidity ratios and working capital turnover ratios are used to test a company's liquidity, length of cash cycle and investment in working capital.
  • 200. Liquidity ratios: current ratio and quick ratio A current ratio in excess of 1 should be expected. The quick ratio should ideally be at least 1 for companies with a slow inventory turnover. For companies with a fast inventory turnover, a quick ratio can be comfortably less than 1 without suggesting that the company should be in cash flow trouble
  • 201. Efficiency ratios: control of receivables and inventories and payables
