Objective of financial reporting
Provide financial information about the reporting entity that is useful to existing and potential investors, lenders and other creditors in making decisions about providing resources to the entity. The information provided about financial performance helps existing and potential investors, lenders and other creditors to understand the return the entity has produced on its economic resources.
IFRS Foundation. 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Objective of financial reporting continued
Decisions by investors about buying, selling or holding equity and debt instruments depend on the returns that they expect from an investment in those instruments, eg dividends, principal and interest payments or market price increases.
Decisions by lenders about providing or settling loans and other forms of credit depend on the principal and interest payments or other returns that they expect. Information must reflect the effect on performance of changes in market prices and/or interest rates.
Objective of financial reporting continued
Information about an entitys financial performance in a period, reflected by changes in economic resources (other than by obtaining additional resources directly from investors or creditors) is useful in assessing the entitys past and future ability to generate net cash inflows (see CF.OB18)

IAS 1
Presentation of Financial Statements
Introduction
IAS 1 provides guidance on the presentation of financial statements. Financial performance is presented in the form of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income One statement or two statements
Income and expenses

Concepts for income and expenses
10
no concepts for other comprehensive income (OCI)
IAS 1 defines profit or loss as the total of income less expenses, excluding the components of OCI
OCI includes items of income or expense (including reclassification adjustments) that are not recognised in profit or loss as required or permitted by other IFRSs
Profit or loss
IAS1.82 prescribes line-items for profit or loss (eg revenue and finance costs)
11
In addition, items required by other IFRSs must also be presented Additional line items, headings and sub-totals should be used only when relevant to an understanding of financial performance no extraordinary items Expenses may be classified by nature or function (IAS 1.102105)
Other comprehensive income

Items to be classified by nature Grouped based on those that will:
12
not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and

be reclassified to profit or loss when specified conditions are met Income tax effects must be disclosed (net versus aggregate) Reclassification adjustments must be disclosed
Other comprehensive income continued

Items included in OCI include: gains on property revaluation
13
remeasurements of defined benefit pension plans

exchange differences on translating foreign operations cash flow hedges
IAS 18
Revenue
Conceptual context
Financial information must be relevant
15
Relevant financial information is capable of making a difference in decisions about providing resources to the entity, ie the information has predictive value confirmatory value both predictive and confirmatory value (these concepts are interrelated) For example, current year revenue information can be used as a basis for predicting future revenue and can be compared to revenue predictions made in previous years (CF.QC10)
Introduction
16
Revenue is income that arises in the course of ordinary activities of the entity IAS 18 prescribes accounting for revenue from sale of goods, from rendering of services, and from the use by others of entity assets yielding interest, royalties and dividends.
Revenue from construction contracts is accounted for in accordance with IAS 11 Construction Contracts
Scope exclusions
IAS 18 does not deal with revenue from: Lease agreements;
17
Dividends accounted for in accordance with the equity method;

Insurance contracts; Changes in the fair value of financial instruments and biological assets; Initial recognition of agricultural produce; and Extraction of mineral ores
Revenue recognition
18
In general, revenue is recognised when it is probable that economic benefits from the transaction will flow to the entity and those benefits can be measured reliably. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when: significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer; and the entity has neither continuing managerial involvement in, nor effective control over, the goods.
Revenue recognition continued
19
For the rendering of services, revenue is recognised as work is performed (percentage of completion method). However, when the outcome of a service contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of expenses recognised that are recoverable.
Revenue recognition continued

Interest is recognised over time, computed on the effective yield on the asset. Royalties are recognised in accordance with the substance of the agreement.
20
Dividends are recognised when the shareholder has the right to receive payment.
Measurement
21
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable by the entity on its own account. revenue does not include amounts collected on behalf of third parties. when receipt of cash is deferred, the nominal consideration is split between sales revenue and interest revenue.
Example:
cash discount
22
Goods sold for 500, due in 60 days. Customer can take 10% discount if paid in 30 days. If customer gets the discount, revenue is 450. Would be wrong to have revenue 500 and interest or some other expense of 50.
Example:
sale to agent
23
We sell goods for 100 through an intermediary (agent) who gets a commission of 10. We own goods until sold to end users. We are responsible for defects and returns from end users. We have revenue of 100 and commission expense of 10 only when agent sells goods to end user. Would be wrong to recognise revenue when goods are shipped to agent.
Example:
deferred payment
24
Example: We sell goods costing 1,500,000 for 2,000,000 due in 2 years interest free. Current cash price would have been 1,652,893. Financing transaction. Up front revenue is 1,652,893. Profit is 152,893.
PV = (FV) / ((1+int)^periods)
1,652,893 = (2,000,000) / ((1+int)^2) Int = .10 (10%) by solving the equation
Example
deferred payment
continued
25
Interest income year 1 = 1,652,893 x 10% = 165,289, unpaid, bringing receivable up to 1,818,182. Interest income year 2 = 1,818,182 x 10% = 181,818, bringing receivable up to 2,000,000, which is then repaid.

Measurement continued
27
An exchange for dissimilar items generates revenue measured at the fair value of the goods or services received. An exchange of goods or services for similar items does not generate revenue.
Comparison with the IFRS for SMEs

IAS 18 and Section 23 Revenue of the IFRS for SMEs share the same principles. However, the IFRS for SMEs is written in simplified language.
28
Judgements and estimates

The primary issue in accounting for revenue is determining when to recognise revenue.
29
whether the risks and rewards have been transferred to the buyer (sale of goods or financing arrangement?) measuring the fair value of consideration received or receivable. bifurcating multiple element sales (ie determining different elements). servicesestimating the stage of completion.
Judgements and estimates continued

Examples of circumstances in which the timing of recognition of revenue requires careful consideration include: sales with delayed delivery sales subject to conditions, eg installation, inspection and right of return sale and repurchase agreements consignment sales sales to others for resale multiple element contracts.

IAS 33
Earnings per Share
Introduction
IAS 33 deals with the calculation and presentation of earnings per share (EPS).
32
It applies to entities whose ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares (for example, convertibles, options and warrants) are publicly traded. An entity must present basic EPS and diluted EPS with equal prominence in the statement of comprehensive income.
Dilution
33
Dilution is a notional reduction in Earnings (losses) per share resulting from the assumption that convertible instruments are converted, options or warrants are exercised, or ordinary shares are issued upon the satisfaction of specified conditions.
Earnings
34
The earnings of two entities subject to identical transactions and events could differ because they have adopted different accounting policies. These differences are not adjusted for when calculating EPS. The numerators used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS must be reconciled to profit or loss attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the parent.
Shares
The denominators (weighted average number of ordinary shares WANOS) used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS might be affected by: share issues during the year shares to be issued upon conversion of a convertible instrument contingently issuable or returnable shares; bonus issues share splits and share consolidation the exercise of options and warrants contracts that may be settled in shares written put options
35
Example:
share split
36
An entity issued 100 ordinary shares at incorporation on 1 January 20X1. The only change to the issued share capital occurred on 1 January 20X2 when all ordinary shares were spliteach ordinary share became two ordinary shares The entity earned a profit of CU1,000 in each period, 20X1 and 20X2
Example
share split continued

38
In the 20X2 financial statements, what EPS figures will be disclosed for each 20X2 and 20X1? 20X2: CU5
20X1: CU5
IAS 33.26the WANOS must be adjusted for all periods presented that have resulted in a change in ordinary shares without an increase in resources, ie a share split
Example
share issue
39
An entity issued 100 ordinary shares at incorporation on 1 January 20X1. The only change to the issued share capital occurred on 1 January 20X2 when an additional 100 ordinary shares were issued for CU30 per share The entity earned a profit of CU1,000 in each period, 20X1 and 20X2
Example
share issue continued
What is the basic EPS for the entity in 20X1? Profit: WANOS : CU1,000 100

41
In the 20X2 financial statements, what EPS figures will be disclosed for each 20X2 and 20X1?
20X2: CU5
20X1: CU10 Shares were issued and the issue led to a corresponding change in the entitys resources.
Comparison to the IFRS for SMEs
42
The IFRS for SMEs does not specify requirements for Earnings per Share.
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
43
The calculation of EPS includes (as the numerator) a profit or loss figure. This amount is determined in accordance with IFRSs and, therefore, the judgements and estimates made in applying other IFRS will affect EPS.
Judgements must also be made relating to the extent of EPS-related explanations provided in management commentary.
IAS 20
Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance
Requirements
45
IAS 20 specifies the accounting for government grants and the disclosure of government assistance from which the entity has directly benefited. Government grants are transfers of resources to an entity in return for compliance with specified conditions. they include reductions in liabilities to the government and the benefit of a government loan at below market rate of interest. Government assistance is a benefit available to entities that satisfy qualifying criteria.
Recognition
Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with any specified conditions and that the grants will be received.
46
Non-monetary grants (eg taxi licence, fishing quota) are either recognised at fair value or both the asset and the grant are recognised at a nominal amount. Receipt of a grant is not always conclusive evidence that conditions will be fulfilled.
Recognition continued
47
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss in the same periods as the costs they are intended to compensate for, ie they are not recognised directly in equity. If there are no future related costs, a grant is recognised in profit or loss when receivable.
Recognition continued
Government grants that relate to assets are initially recognised in the statement of financial position as deferred income or as a deduction from the related assets.
48
The grant is then recognised in profit or loss over the life of the asset, by reducing deferred income over that period, or by way of reduced depreciation.
Comparison to the IFRS for SMEs
49
The main differences in the recognition and measurement requirements exist between IAS 20 and Section 24 Government Grants the IFRS for SMEs include:
IAS 20 contains numerous options for accounting for government grants. The IFRS for SMEs contains only one option IAS 20 requires that grants should not be recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions and the grants will be received. Under Section 24, a grant is not recognised until the conditions are actually satisfied.
Comparison to the IFRS for SMEs continued
50
IAS 20 requires government grants to be recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Section 24 does not allow an entity to match the grant with the expenses for which it is intended to compensate or the cost of the asset that it is used to finance. Section 24 does not prescribe any presentation requirements relating to government grants.
51
The main area of judgement is whether the entity will comply with conditions attached to a government grant.
Measuring the fair value of some non-monetary grants received (if accounting policy is to recognise at fair value not nominal amount).
Questions or comments?
Expressions of individual views by members of the IASB and its staff are encouraged. The views expressed in this presentation are those of the presenter. Official positions of the IASB on accounting matters are determined only after extensive due process and deliberation.

53
The requirements are set out in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), as issued by the IASB at 1 January 2012 with an effective date after 1 January 2012 but not the IFRSs they will replace. The IFRS Foundation, the authors, the presenters and the publishers do not accept responsibility for loss caused to any person who acts or refrains from acting in reliance on the material in this PowerPoint presentation, whether such loss is caused by negligence or otherwise.
