 Definition of Accounting
In The Accounting Principles book, Weygandt, Kieso and Kimmel say that- ‘Accounting is an
information system that identifies, records, and communicates the economic events of an organization
to interested users.’
1. Identifying economic events involves selecting the economic activities relevant to a particular
organization.
2. Recording consists of keeping a systematic, chronological diary of events, measured in
money. In recording, economic events are also classified and summarized.
3. The identifying and recording activities are of little use unless the information is communicated
to interested users. Financial information is communicated through accounting reports, the
most common of which are called financial statements.
American Accounting Association [AAA] – ‘Accounting is defined as the process of identifying,
measuring, and communicating economic information to permit informed judgements, and decisions by
users of the information.’
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants [AICPA]- ‘Accounting is the art of recording,
classifying and summarizing in a significant manner and in terms of money, transactions and events,
which are in part at least, of a financial character and interpreting the results thereof.’
Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB)- ‘Accounting is the service activity of financial recording
and reporting.’

 Transaction & Event


Event: Event refers to a process or part of a process having a particular moment and a place of
occurrence.
1. Non Monetary Event: Which is not related to money or not measurable in monetary term. In other
word, the event that does not change the financial position of an enterprise, e.g., place an order,
win the match etc.
2. Monetary Event: Events that are related to money. In other word, events which change the
financial position of an enterprise, e.g., daily exp., salary paid, goods purchase etc.
Transaction: Transaction is recordable event that affects the assets, liabilities, owner’s equity,
revenues or expenses of an enterprise, e.g. salary paid, paid to creditors, drawings. Transactions are
events that (i) cause in an immediate change in the financial resources or obligations of the business
and (ii) can be measured objectively in money terms.

 Characteristics of transaction

 Transaction must be expressed in terms of money


 Every transaction must be independent
 Every transaction must has two parties
 Transactions change in the financial resources or obligations
 Transactions must have source documents
 Transactions may be invisible

 Purposes of Accounting
 Maintain the permanent record of business transactions.
 Ascertain the net profit or loss of the enterprise for the accounting period.
 Determine the value of business assets and liabilities of the enterprise.
 Disclose the financial position of the enterprise in the Balance Sheet date.
 Cost control
 Give necessary information to management for decision making.
 Delivery information to various users in useful format
 Help to make a future plan
 Determine income tax, sales tax, VAT etc.

 Accounting Cycle
The sequence of accounting procedures used to record, classify, and Summarize accounting
information is known as the Accounting Cycle. The term cycle indicates that these procedures must be
repeated continuously to prepare new up-to-date financial statements at reasonable intervals. The
following are the steps in accounting cycle:
1. Identification and Measurement of Transactions and Other Events
2. Recording the transactions in Journal
3. Classifying the transactions through Ledger
4. Summarizing the transactions using Trial Balance
5. Making Adjustment Entries
6. Preparation of Adjusted Trial Balance
 Preparation of worksheet (Optional step)
7. Preparation of Financial Statements
8. Making Closing Entries
9. Preparation of Post Closing Trial Balance
10. Reversing Entries (Optional)

 Qualitative Characteristics of Accounting Information
1. Relevance: Helping users to make predictions about the outcome to past, present and future
events or to confirm or correct prior expectations
2. Reliability: Information is reliable if it is free from error and bias, and faithfully represents and
users can depend upon the information to represent the economic conditions.
3. Timeliness: Having information available to decision maker before it loses its capacity to
influence decisions
4. Comparability: The quality of information that enables users to identify similarities in and
differences between two sets of economic phenomena.
5. Consistency: Conformity from period to period with unchanging policies and procedures.

 Double Entry System
The first systematic presentation of the double-entry system appears in a mathematics textbook,
Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportione et Proportionalite, written by Luca Pacioli
published in 1494. The double-entry system is an accounting system to record the business
transactions in the book of account in both side, debit and credit, in equal amount.
 Equal debits and credits made accounts for each transaction
 Total debits always equal the total credits
 Accounting equation always stays in balance, Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s Equity
 Debit and Credit
 Debit indicates left and Credit indicates right
 Recording amount on the left side of an account is debiting the account
 Recording amount on the right side is crediting the account
 If the total of debit amounts is bigger than credits, the account has a debit balance
 If the total of credit amounts is bigger than debits, the account has a credit balance

 Determination of Debit and Credit

Assets Liabilities Owner’s Equity


Debit for Credit for Debit for Credit for Debit for Credit for
Increase (+) Decrease (-) Decrease (-) Increase (+) Decrease (-) Increase (+)
Normal Normal Normal
Balance (Dr) Balance (Cr) Balance (Cr)
Revenue Expense Owner’s Drawings
Debit for Credit for Debit for Credit for Debit for Credit for
Decrease (-) Increase (+) Increase (+) Decrease (-) Increase (+) Decrease (-)
Normal Normal Normal
Balance (Cr) Balance (Dr) Balance (Dr)
 The Recording Process
o Analyze each transaction
o Enter transaction in a journal
o Transfer journal information to ledger (Posting)
Journal: Transactions are initially recorded in chronological order before they are transferred to the
ledger accounts. A general journal has Space for dates, Account title and
explanations, References and Two amount columns.
The Account: An account is an individual accounting record of changes in financial position. There
are separate accounts for the items we used in transactions such as cash, salaries
expense, accounts payable, etc.
The Ledger: A Group of accounts maintained by a company is called the ledger. A general ledger
contains all the assets, liabilities, owner’s equity, revenue and expense accounts.
The Trial Balance: The trial balance is a list of accounts and their balances at a given time. The
primary purpose of a trial balance is to prove the equality between debits and credits after
posting. If sum of debits and credits do not agree, the trial balance can be used to
discover errors in journalizing or in posting.

 Some Definitions
 Assets: An asset is a resource controlled by the enterprise and from which future economic
benefits are expected to inflow to the enterprise. Simply, assets are resources owned by the
enterprise.
i) Current Assets: Current assets are cash and other resources that are reasonably expected to
be realized in cash or sold or consumed in the business within one year of the balance sheet
date or the company’s operating cycle, whichever is longer. For example, accounts receivable,
inventory etc.
ii) Fixed Assets: Fixed assets are resources that are not expected to be realized in cash or sold
or consumed in the business within one year of the balance sheet date or the company’s
operating cycle. For example, land, building, machinery, furniture etc.
 Liabilities: A liability is a present obligation of the enterprise arising from past events, the
settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the enterprise. Simply, liabilities are
claims against assets i. e. liabilities are existing debts and obligations.
i) Current Liabilities: Obligations expected to be paid within one year or an operating cycle,
whichever is longer, are classified as current. For example, accounts payable, salaries payable,
interest payable etc.
ii) Long-term Liabilities: Obligations expected to be paid after one year or an operating cycle,
whichever is longer, are classified as long-term liabilities. For example, bonds payable,
Mortgages payable etc.
 Capital: That amount which is supplied by the owner(s) of the business is known as capital.
 Owner’s equity: The ownership claim on total assets is known as owner’s equity. Equity is the
residual interest in the assets of the enterprise after deducting all its liabilities. The ownership claim
on total assets is known as owner’s equity. The revenue and expenses change owner’s equity.
 Cost: Cost is related to assets. By incurring cost we can get any type of assets. It represents the
exchange price or monetary consideration given for acquiring goods or services. On the other
hand, expenses are the using or consuming of goods and services in the process or obtaining
revenues.
 Expense: Expenses are a decrease in the economic benefits during the accounting period in the
form of outflows or depletion of assets. Expenses are the cost of assets consumed or services used
in the process of earning revenue. The amount that is incurred to operate a business or for
generate revenue.
 Revenue: Revenue is an increase in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of
inflows or enhancements of assets. Revenues are the gross increase in owner’s equity resulting
from business activities.
 Net Income: The excess of revenues over expenses.
 Net Loss: The excess of expenses over revenues.

 Accounting Equation or Balance Sheet or Basic Equation (Larson,9th ed.p17, Kieso,6th ed, p12)
We know that the sum of the assets shown on the balance sheet must equal liabilities plus the equity of
the owner or owners of the business. This equality may be expressed in equation form as follows:
Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s equity or
A=L+C Where,
A = Assets
L = Liabilities
C = Owner’s equity
When balance sheet equality is expressed in equation form, the resulting equation is called the balance
sheet equation. It is also known as the accounting equation, since all double-entry accounting is
based on it. And like any mathematical equation, its elements may be transposed and the equation
expressed:
Assets – Liabilities = Owner’s equity
The equation in this form illustrates the residual nature of the owner’s equity. An owner’s claims are
secondary to the creditors’ claims. Now, we are in a position to say- when the equality between assets
and liabilities plus owner’s equity are expressed in the form of equation is called Basic Accounting
Equation.

 Expansion of Basic Accounting Equation


Already, we have known that the expression of equality between assets and liabilities plus owner’s
equity of a business in the form of equation is called basic accounting equation. The basic accounting
equation is expressed as;
Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s equity
There are some other accounts, which affect the owner’s equity, e.g., Revenues, Expenses and
Drawings. Revenues increase owner’s equity and Expenses & Drawings decrease owner’s equity. If we
show the effect of these additional accounts on the basic accounting equation, the new equation will be
treated as Expanded Basic Accounting Equation. The expanded basic accounting equation is
expressed as;
Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s equity + Revenue – Expenses – Drawing or
A=L+C+R-E-D
Where,
A = Assets R = Revenues
L = Liabilities E = Expenses
C = Owner’s equity D = Owner’s Drawing

 Introduction
Different types of organizations are operating their activities in Bangladesh. These
organizations are being regulated by several national and international regulatory authorities.
A single firm may be regulated, directed and supervised by different regulators and agencies.
Therefore, Bangladeshi companies are to follow several rules, regulations, standards and
directives issued by the external bodies along with their internal policies. The following parts
of this chapter depicts legal framework for the companies regarding their disclosure in
Bangladesh.

 International Regulatory Body


Different international bodies issue regulations and guidelines regarding corporate disclosure.
The IFRS Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit private sector organisation working in
the public interest. The principal objectives of the IFRS Foundation are to develop a single
set of high quality, understandable, enforceable and globally accepted International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRSs) through its standard-setting body, the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB); to promote the use and rigorous application of those standards; to
take account of the financial reporting needs of emerging economies and small and medium-
sized entities (SMEs); and to promote and facilitate adoption of IFRSs (www.ifrs.org). The
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) is the independent standard-setting body of
the IFRS Foundation. IASB, based in London, began operations in 2001. After 2001 the
Accounting Standards issued by IASB are known as International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs). Before establishment of IASB, standards were issued by International
Accounting Standard Committee (IASC) and those standards are known as International
Accounting Standards (IASs). Up to 2001, a total of 41 IASs have been issued by IASC
whereas a total of 15 IFRSs have been issued by IASB from 2001 to June 2014
(www.ifrs.org). Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF) is an independent, private sector
organization responsible for the oversight, administration, and finance of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB). FASB has been the designated organization in the
private sector since 1973 for establishing standards of financial accounting that govern the
preparation of financial reports by non-governmental organizations. These standards have
been officially recognized as authoritative ones by the U.S. Securities and Exchange

Page 2 of 24
Commission (SEC) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(www.fasb.org).

The Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) is an
Islamic international autonomous non-for-profit corporate body that prepares accounting,
auditing, governance, ethics and Shariah standards for Islamic financial institutions and the
industry. AAOIFI was registered on March 27, 1991 in the State of Bahrain. Accounting and
Auditing Standards Board (AASB) is the standards-setting body of AAOIFI. A total of 88
standards have been issued by AAOIFI - (a) 48 on Shariah standards, (b) 26 accounting
standards, (c) 5 auditing standards, (d) 7 governance, and (e) 2 codes of ethics
(www.aaoifi.com). Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited is a member of AAOIFI. The Islamic
Financial Services Board (IFSB), based in Kuala Lumpur, started operations on March 10,
2003. It serves as an international standards-setting body of regulatory and supervisory
agencies that have vested interest in ensuring the soundness and stability of the Islamic
financial services industry. Bangladesh Bank is a member of IFSB. Up to June 2014, IFSB
has published 16 standards, 5 guidance notes and 1 technical note (www.ifsb.org).

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is to serve central banks in their pursuit of
monetary and financial stability, to foster international cooperation in those areas and to act
as a bank for central banks. The BIS is the world's oldest international financial organization
established on May 17, 1930. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) is the
primary global standards-setter for the prudential regulations of banks and provides a forum
for cooperation on banking supervisory matters. The secretariat of BCBS is provided by the
BIS (www.bis.org). There are additional disclosure requirements in guidelines issued by
BCBS.

South Asian Federation of Accountants (SAFA) was formed in the year 1984 to promote and
accelerate development of the accountancy profession in the South Asian Region and uphold
its eminence in the world of accountancy (www.esafa.org). SAFA offers award for corporate
governance disclosures based on Best Presented Annual Report (BPA) of listed companies.
International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) is the global organization for the
accountancy profession dedicated to serving the public interest by strengthening the
profession and contributing to the development of strong international economies
(www.ifac.org). IFAC deals with international regulatory convergence, global adoption of
high quality international reporting and professional standards, standard-setting in the public
interest, sustainability and integrated reporting, public sector reporting and transparency, etc.
Its formal policy positions are issued as Policy Position Papers. IFAC submits comment
letters and recommendations to global and regional organizations including the IFRS
Foundation.

 International Regulation

Along with local regulations, listed companies of Bangladesh are to comply with a number of
international regulations. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) have been
issued by IASB whereas International Accounting Standards (IASs) had been issued by
IASC. IFRSs and IASs have been adopted in Bangladesh by ICAB as Bangladesh Financial
Reporting Standards (BFRSs) and Bangladesh Accounting Standards (BASs) respectively.
Status of IASs (BASs) and IFRSs (BFRSs) in Bangladesh as on January 1, 2013 is depicted
in Table 2.3. All of the listed companies are to maintain these standards for preparing their
general purpose financial statements. Bangladeshi companies are also following some US
GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) issued by FASB. More than 150
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) have been issued by FASB. In July
2009, FASB released Accounting Standards Codification codifying all authoritative US
GAAP in one spot with roughly 90 topics (FAF, 2014). There are some other non-
authoritative US GAAPs as well.

Page 5 of 24
Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) like bank, insurance, non-bank financial institutions have
to follow standards issued by AAOIFI. Among others, Financial Accounting Standard No. 1:
General Presentation and Disclosure in the FSs of Islamic Banks and Financial Institutions
is more relevant for the preparation of financial statements. As per BB guidelines, Islamic
banks are to comply with Shariah rules issued by AAOIFI. The IFSB, an international
standard-setting organization, issues standard, guidance note and technical note. IFSB-4:
Disclosures to Promote Transparency and Market Discipline for Institutions offering Islamic
Financial Services, is more relevant with preparation of financial statements of banks under
Islamic Shariah. Pillar-3, Market Discipline, of Basel-II issued by the Basel Committee on
Banking Supervision (BCBS) requires additional disclosure. In line with Basel II, BB has
issued a revised guideline for banks titled “Guidelines on Risk Based Capital Adequacy
(RBCA)” in December 2010. RBCA has come fully into force from January 01, 2010 with its
subsequent supplements/revisions (BB, 2010b).

 Recognition of the Elements of Financial Statements
An item that meets the definition of an element should be recognized if- (a) it is probable that
any future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to or from the entity; and (b)
the item has a cost or value that can be measured with reliability.
• Recognition of assets: An asset is recognized in the balance sheet when it is probable
that the future economic benefits will flow to the entity and the asset has a cost or
value that can be measured reliably.
• Recognition of liabilities: A liability is recognized in the balance sheet when it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will result from
the settlement of a present obligation and the amount at which the settlement will take
place can be measured reliably. In practice, obligations under contracts that are
equally proportionately unperformed (for example, liabilities for inventory ordered
but not yet received) are generally not recognized as liabilities in the financial
statements. However, such obligations may meet the definition of liabilities and,
provided the recognition criteria are met in the particular circumstances, may qualify
for recognition. In such circumstances, recognition of liabilities entails recognition of
related assets or expenses.
• Recognition of income: Income is recognized in the income statement when an
increase in future economic benefit related to an increase in an asset or a decrease of a
liability has arisen that can be measured reliably. This means, in effect, that
recognition of income occurs simultaneously with the recognition of increases in
assets or decreases in liabilities (for example, the net increase in assets arising on a
sale of goods or services or the decrease in liabilities arising from the waiver of a debt
payable).
• Expense Recognition: Expenses are recognized in the income statement when a
decrease in future economic benefit related to a decrease in an asset or an increase of
a liability has arisen that can be measured reliably. This means, in effect, that
recognition of expenses occurs simultaneously with the recognition of an increase in
liabilities or a decrease in assets (for example, the accrual of employee entitlements or
the depreciation of equipment). Expenses are recognized in the income statement on
the basis of a direct association between the costs incurred and the earning of specific
items of income.

 Measurement of the elements of financial statements


A number of different measurement bases are employed to different degrees and in varying
combinations in financial statements. However, the measurement basis most commonly
adopted by entities in preparing their financial statements is historical cost.
• Historical Cost: Assets are recorded at the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid
or the fair value of the consideration given to acquire them at the time of their
acquisition. Liabilities are recorded at the amount of proceeds received in exchange
for the obligation, or in some circumstances (for example, income taxes), at the
amounts of cash or cash equivalents expected to be paid to satisfy the liability in the
normal course of business.
• Current Cost: Assets are carried at the amount of cash or cash equivalents that would
have to be paid if the same or an equivalent asset was acquired currently. Liabilities
are carried at the undiscounted amount of cash or cash equivalents that would be
required to settle the obligation currently.

Page 8 of 24
• Realizable (Settlement) Value. Assets are carried at the amount of cash or cash
equivalents that could currently be obtained by selling the asset in an orderly disposal.
Liabilities are carried at their settlement values; that is, the undiscounted amounts of
cash or cash equivalents expected to be paid to satisfy the liabilities in the normal
course of business.
• Present Value: Assets are carried at the present discounted value of the future net
cash inflows that the item is expected to generate in the normal course of business.
Liabilities are carried at the present discounted value of the future net cash outflows
that are expected to be required to settle the liabilities in the normal course of
business.

 FASB (US GAAP)


Since 1973, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has been the designated
organization in the private sector for establishing standards of financial accounting that
govern the preparation of financial reports by nongovernmental entities. Those standards are
officially recognized as authoritative by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Such standards are
important to the efficient functioning of the economy because decisions about the allocation
of resources rely heavily on credible, concise, and understandable financial information. The
SEC has statutory authority to establish financial accounting and reporting standards for
publicly held companies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Throughout its history,
however, the Commission’s policy has been to rely on the private sector for this function to
the extent that the private sector demonstrates ability to fulfill the responsibility in the public
interest.

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, US GAAP or simply GAAP are terms for the
"generally accepted accounting principles". Although the SEC (Securities and Exchange
Commission) has a stated goal of moving from US GAAP to the International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS), the provisions of which differ considerably from GAAP -
progress has been slow and uncertain. Accounting standards have historically been set by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) subject to Securities and
Exchange Commission regulations. The AICPA first created the Committee on Accounting
Procedure in 1939, and replaced that with the Accounting Principles Board in 1959. In 1973,
the Accounting Principles Board was replaced by the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) under the supervision of the Financial Accounting Foundation with the Financial
Accounting Standards Advisory Council serving to advise and provide input on the
accounting standards. The FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which
reorganized the thousands of US GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics.
To achieve basic objectives and implement fundamental qualities GAAP has four basic
assumptions, four basic principles, and four basic constraints.

Assumptions
1. Accounting Entity: Accounting entity assumes that the business is separate from its
owners or other businesses. Revenue and expense should be kept separate from
personal expenses.
2. Going Concern: It is assumed that the business will be in operation indefinitely. This
validates the methods of asset capitalization, depreciation, and amortization. Only

Page 9 of 24
when liquidation is certain this assumption is not applicable. The business will
continue to exist in the unforeseeable future.
3. Monetary Unit principle: Monetary unit principle assumes a stable currency is going
to be the unit of record. The FASB accepts the nominal value of the US Dollar as the
monetary unit of record unadjusted for inflation.
4. Periodicity Concept: The Time-period principle implies that the economic activities
of an enterprise can be divided into artificial time periods.

Principles
1. Historical Cost Principle: Historical cost principle requires companies to account
and report based on acquisition costs rather than fair market value for most assets and
liabilities. This principle provides information that is reliable (removing opportunity
to provide subjective and potentially biased market values), but not very relevant.
Thus there is a trend to use fair values. Most debts and securities are now reported at
market values.
2. Revenue Recognition Principle: Revenue recognition principle holds that companies
may not record revenue until (1) it is realized or realizable and (2) when it is earned.
The flow of cash does not have any bearing on the recognition of revenue. This is the
essence of accrual basis accounting. Conversely, however, losses must be recognized
when their occurrence becomes probable, whether or not it has actually occurred. This
comports with the constraint of conservatism, yet brings it into conflict with the
constraint of consistency, in that reflecting revenues/gains is inconsistent with the way
in which losses are reflected.
3. Matching Principle: Expenses have to be matched with revenues as long as it is
reasonable to do so. Expenses are recognized not when the work is performed, or
when a product is produced, but when the work or the product actually makes its
contribution to revenue. Only if no connection with revenue can be established, cost
may be charged as expenses to the current period (e.g. office salaries and other
administrative expenses). This principle allows greater evaluation of actual
profitability and performance (shows how much was spent to earn revenue).
Depreciation and Cost of Goods Sold are good examples of application of this
principle.
4. Full Disclosure Principle: Amount and kinds of information disclosed should be
decided based on trade-off analysis as a larger amount of information costs more to
prepare and use. Information disclosed should be enough to make a judgment while
keeping costs reasonable. Information is presented in the main body of financial
statements, in the notes or as supplementary information

Constraints
1. Objectivity Principle: the company financial statements provided by the accountants
should be based on objective evidence.
2. Materiality Principle: The principle indicates that the significance of an item should
be considered when it is reported. An item is considered significant when it would
affect the decision of a reasonable individual.
3. Consistency principle: It means that the company uses the same accounting
principles and methods from period to period.

Page 10 of 24
4. Conservatism principle: When choosing between two solutions, the one which has
the less favorable outcome is the solution which should be. In other word, accountant
should be conservative in determining the amount of profit and asset value.

 AAOIFI Framework
The Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) is an
Islamic international autonomous non-for-profit corporate body that prepares accounting,
auditing, governance, ethics and Shari'a standards for Islamic financial institutions and the
industry. Accounting & Auditing Standards Board (AASB) of AAOIFI is responsible for
setting accounting and auditing standards. AAOIFI was established in accordance with the
Agreement of Association which was signed by Islamic financial institutions on 26 February,
1990 in Algiers. Then, it was registered on 27 March, 1991 in the State of Bahrain. As an
independent international organization, AAOIFI is supported by institutional members (200
members from 40 countries, so far) including central banks, Islamic financial institutions, and
other participants from the international Islamic banking and finance industry, worldwide.

AAOIFI carries out its objectives in accordance with the precepts of Islamic Shari’a which
represents a comprehensive system for all aspects of life, in conformity with the environment
in which Islamic financial institutions have developed. This activity is intended both to
enhance the confidence of users of the financial statements of Islamic financial institutions in
the information that is produced about these institutions, and to encourage these users to
invest or deposit their funds in Islamic financial institutions and to use their services. Total of
88 standards are issued by AAOIFI-(a) 48 on Shari’a, (b) 26 accounting, (c) 5 auditing
standards, (d) 7 governance, (e) 2 codes of ethics. In addition, new standards are being
developed and existing standards reviewed. AAOIFI standards are followed – as part of
regulatory requirement or IFIs’ internal guidelines – in jurisdictions that offer Islamic finance
across Middle East, Asia Pacific, South Asia, Central Asia, Africa, Europe, and North
America; and Islamic Development Bank Group. Consequently, AAOIFI standards have
introduced greater harmonization of Islamic finance practices across the world.

 IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements


 Objective of IAS 1: This Standard prescribes the basis for presentation of general
purpose financial statements to ensure comparability both with the entity’s financial
statements of previous periods and with the financial statements of other entities. It sets
out overall requirements for the presentation of financial statements, guidelines for their
structure and minimum requirements for their content.

 Scope of IAS 1
o An entity shall apply this Standard in preparing and presenting general
purpose financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs).
o Other IFRSs set out the recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements
for specific transactions and other events.
o This Standard does not apply to the structure and content of condensed interim
financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 34. This Standard applies
equally to all entities, including those that present consolidated financial statements
and those that present separate financial statements as defined in IAS 27.

Page 12 of 24
o This Standard uses terminology that is suitable for profit-oriented entities,
including public sector business entities. If entities with not-for-profit activities in the
private sector or the public sector apply this Standard, they may need to amend the
descriptions used for particular line items in the financial statements and for the
financial statements themselves.
o Similarly, entities that do not have equity as defined in IAS 32 Financial
Instruments: Presentation (e.g. some mutual funds) and entities whose share capital is
not equity (e.g. some co-operative entities) may need to adapt the financial statement
presentation of members’ or unit-holders’ interests.

 Definitions of Terms used in IAS 1


o General purpose financial statements (referred to as ‘financial statements’)
are those intended to meet the needs of users who are not in a position to require an
entity to prepare reports tailored to their particular information needs.
o Impracticable Applying a requirement is impracticable when the entity cannot
apply it after making every reasonable effort to do so.
o International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) are Standards and
Interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
They comprise:
• International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs);
• International Accounting Standards (IASs); and
• Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting
Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) or the former Standing Interpretations
Committee (SIC).
o Material Omissions or misstatements of items are material if they could,
individually or collectively, influence the economic decisions that users make on the
basis of the financial statements. Materiality depends on the size and nature of the
omission or misstatement judged in the surrounding circumstances. The size or nature
of the item, or a combination of both, could be the determining factor.
o Notes contain information in addition to that presented in the statement of
financial position, statement of comprehensive income, separate statement of
comprehensive income (if presented), statement of changes in equity and statement of
cash flows. Notes provide narrative descriptions or disaggregations of items presented
in those statements and information about items that do not qualify for recognition in
those statements.
o Other comprehensive income comprises items of income and expense
(including reclassification adjustments) that are not recognized in profit or loss as
required or permitted by other IFRSs. The components of other comprehensive
income include:
• changes in revaluation surplus (see IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and
IAS 38 Intangible Assets);

Page 13 of 24
• actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit plans recognized in accordance
with paragraph 93A of IAS 19 Employee Benefits;
• gains and losses arising from translating the financial statements of a foreign
operation (see IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates);
• gains and losses on remeasuring available-for-sale financial assets (see IAS 39
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement);
• the effective portion of gains and losses on hedging instruments in a cash flow
hedge (see IAS 39).
o Owners are holders of instruments classified as equity.
o Profit or loss is the total of income less expenses, excluding the components
of other comprehensive income.
o Reclassification adjustments are amounts reclassified to profit or loss in the
current period that were recognized in other comprehensive income in the current or
previous periods.
o Total comprehensive income is the change in equity during a period resulting
from transactions and other events, other than those changes resulting from
transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Total comprehensive income
comprises all components of ‘profit or loss’ and of ‘other comprehensive income’.
Although this Standard uses the terms ‘other comprehensive income’, ‘profit or loss’
and ‘total comprehensive income’, an entity may use other terms to describe the totals
as long as the meaning is clear. For example, an entity may use the term ‘net income’
to describe profit or loss.

 Financial Statements
Financial statements are a structured representation of the financial position and financial
performance of an entity. The objective of financial statements is to provide information
about the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity that is useful to
a wide range of users in making economic decisions. Financial statements also show the
results of the management’s stewardship of the resources entrusted to it. To meet this
objective, financial statements provide information about an entity’s:
(a) assets;
(b) liabilities;
(c) equity;
(d) income and expenses, including gains and losses;
(e) contributions by and distributions to owners in their capacity as owners; and
(f) cash flows.

Information to be presented either in the statement of financial position or in the notes. This
information, along with other information in the notes, assists users of financial statements in
predicting the entity’s future cash flows and, in particular, their timing and certainty.
 Components of a Complete Set of Financial Statements
(a) A statement of financial position as at the end of the period;
(b) A statement of comprehensive income for the period;
(c) A statement of changes in equity for the period;
(d) A statement of cash flows for the period;

Page 14 of 24
(e) Notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information; and
(f) A statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period
when an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively or makes a retrospective
restatement of items in its financial statements, or when it reclassifies items in its
financial statements.

An entity may use titles for the statements other than those used in this Standard. An entity
shall present with equal prominence all of the financial statements in a complete set of
financial statements.

 General Features of FS
• Fair presentation and compliance with IFRSs: Financial statements shall present
fairly the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity. Fair
presentation requires the faithful representation of the effects of transactions, other
events and conditions in accordance with the definitions and recognition criteria for
assets, liabilities, income and expenses set out in the Framework. The application of
IFRSs, with additional disclosure when necessary, is presumed to result in financial
statements that achieve a fair presentation.

• Explicit Compliance: An entity whose financial statements comply with IFRSs shall
make an explicit and unreserved statement of such compliance in the notes. An entity
shall not describe financial statements as complying with IFRSs unless they comply
with all the requirements of IFRSs. An entity cannot rectify inappropriate accounting
policies either by disclosure of the accounting policies used or by notes or explanatory
material. In the extremely rare circumstances in which management concludes that
compliance with a requirement in an IFRS would be so misleading that it would
conflict with the objective of financial statements set out in the Framework, the entity
shall depart from that requirement in the manner set out in this standard if the relevant
regulatory framework requires, or otherwise does not prohibit, such a departure.
When an entity departs from a requirement of an IFRS it shall disclose that
management has concluded that the financial statements present fairly the entity’s
financial position, financial performance and cash flows and it has complied with
applicable IFRSs, except that it has departed from a particular requirement to achieve
a fair presentation. The title of the IFRS from which the entity has departed, the
nature of the departure, including the treatment that the IFRS would require, the
reason why that treatment would be so misleading in the circumstances that it would
conflict with the objective of financial statements set out in the Framework, and the
treatment adopted.

• Going concern: When preparing financial statements, management shall make an


assessment of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. An entity shall
prepare financial statements on a going concern basis unless management either
intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading, or has no realistic alternative but to
do so. When management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern, the entity shall disclose those uncertainties. When an
entity does not prepare financial statements on a going concern basis, it shall disclose

Page 15 of 24
that fact, together with the basis on which it prepared the financial statements and the
reason why the entity is not regarded as a going concern.
• Accrual basis of accounting: An entity shall prepare its financial statements, except
for cash flow information, using the accrual basis of accounting.

• Materiality and aggregation: An entity shall present separately each material class
of similar items. An entity shall present separately items of a dissimilar nature or
function unless they are immaterial.
• Offsetting: An entity shall not offset assets and liabilities or income and expenses,
unless required or permitted by an IFRS.
• Frequency of reporting: An entity shall present a complete set of financial
statements (including comparative information) at least annually. When an entity
changes the end of its reporting period and presents financial statements for a period
longer or shorter than one year, an entity shall disclose, in addition to the period
covered by the financial statements:
I. the reason for using a longer or shorter period, and
II. the fact that amounts presented in the financial statements are not entirely
comparable.
• Comparative information: Except when IFRSs permit or require otherwise, an
entity shall disclose comparative information in respect of the previous period for all
amounts reported in the current period’s financial statements. An entity shall include
comparative information for narrative and descriptive information when it is relevant
to an understanding of the current period’s financial statements.
• Reclassification: When the entity changes the presentation or classification of items
in its financial statements, the entity shall reclassify comparative amounts unless
reclassification is impracticable. When the entity reclassifies comparative amounts,
the entity shall disclose:
I. the nature of the reclassification;
II. the amount of each item or class of items that is reclassified; and
III. the reason for the reclassification.
When it is impracticable to reclassify comparative amounts, an entity shall disclose
the reason for not reclassifying the amounts, and the nature of the adjustments that
would have been made if the amounts had been reclassified.
• Consistency of presentation: An entity shall retain the presentation and classification
of items in the financial statements from one period to the next unless:
I. it is apparent, following a significant change in the nature of the entity’s
operations or a review of its financial statements, that another presentation or
classification would be more appropriate having regard to the criteria for the
selection and application of accounting policies in IAS 8; or
II. an IFRS requires a change in presentation.
• Structure and Content: This Standard requires particular disclosures in the
statement of financial position or of comprehensive income, in the separate statement
of comprehensive income (if presented), or in the statement of changes in equity and
requires disclosure of other line items either in those statements or in the notes. IAS 7

Page 16 of 24
Statement of Cash Flows sets out requirements for the presentation of cash flow
information. This Standard sometimes uses the term ‘disclosure’ in a broad sense,
encompassing items presented in the financial statements. Disclosures are also
required by other IFRSs. Unless specified to the contrary elsewhere in this Standard
or in another IFRS, such disclosures may be made in the financial statements.
• Identification of the FSs: An entity shall clearly identify the financial statements and
distinguish them from other information in the same published document. An entity
shall clearly identify each financial statement and the notes. In addition, an entity
shall display the following information prominently, and repeat it when necessary for
the information presented to be understandable:
I. the name of the reporting entity or other means of identification, and any change in
that information from the end of the preceding reporting period;
II. whether the financial statements are of an individual entity or a group of entities;
III. the date of the end of the reporting period or the period covered by the set of
financial statements or notes;
IV. the presentation currency; and
V. the level of rounding used in presenting amounts in the financial statements.
• Statement of Financial Position: As a minimum, the statement of financial position
shall include line items that include property, plant and equipment; investment
property; intangible assets; financial assets; inventories; trade and other receivables;
cash and cash equivalents; trade and other payables; provisions; financial liabilities;
liabilities and assets for current tax; deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets;
non-controlling interest, presented within equity; and issued capital and reserves
attributable to owners of the parent. An entity shall present additional line items,
headings and subtotals in the statement of financial position when such presentation is
relevant to an understanding of the entity’s financial position. When an entity presents
current and non-current assets, and current and non-current liabilities, as separate
classifications in its statement of financial position, it shall not classify deferred tax
assets (liabilities) as current assets (liabilities).
• Information to be presented either in the statement of financial position or in the
notes: An entity shall disclose, either in the statement of financial position or in the
notes, further sub-classifications of the line items presented, classified in a manner
appropriate to the entity’s operations.
• Information regarding Share Capital: An entity shall disclose either in the
statement of financial position or the statement of changes in equity, or in the notes
for each class of share capital. A description of the nature and purpose of each reserve
within equity should be disclosed.
I. the number of shares authorized;
II. the number of shares issued and fully paid, and issued but not fully paid;
III. par value per share, or that the shares have no par value;
IV. a reconciliation of the number of shares outstanding at the beginning and at the
V. end of the period;
VI. the rights, preferences and restrictions attaching to that class including restrictions
on the distribution of dividends and the repayment of capital;
VII. shares in the entity held by the entity or by its subsidiaries or associates; and

Page 17 of 24
VIII. shares reserved for issue under options and contracts for the sale of shares,
including terms and amounts; and
An entity without share capital, such as a partnership or trust, shall disclose
information equivalent showing changes during the period in each category of equity
interest, and the rights, preferences and restrictions attaching to each category of
equity interest.
• Statement of Comprehensive Income: An entity shall present all items of income
and expense recognized in a period in a single statement of comprehensive income, or
in two statements: a statement displaying components of profit or loss (separate
statement of comprehensive income) and a second statement beginning with profit or
loss and displaying components of other comprehensive income (statement of
comprehensive income). Information to be presented in the statement of
comprehensive income or in the notes. When items of income or expense are material,
an entity shall disclose their nature and amount separately.
• Profit or loss for the period: An entity shall recognize all items of income and
expense in a period in profit or loss unless an IFRS requires or permits otherwise. An
entity shall present an analysis of expenses recognized in profit or loss using a
classification based on either their nature or their function within the entity,
whichever provides information that is reliable and more relevant. An entity
classifying expenses by function shall disclose additional information on the nature of
expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense and employee benefits
expense.
• Other comprehensive income for the period: An entity shall disclose the amount of
income tax relating to each component of other comprehensive income, including
reclassification adjustments, either in the statement of comprehensive income or in the
notes. An entity may present components of other comprehensive income either net of
related tax effects, or before related tax effects with one amount shown for the
aggregate amount of income tax relating to those components.
• Statement of Changes in Equity: An entity shall present a statement of changes in
equity. The statement of changes in equity includes the information:

retrospective restatement recognized in accordance with IAS 8; and
III. for each component of equity, a reconciliation between the carrying amount at
the beginning and the end of the period, separately disclosing changes
resulting from:
 profit or loss;
 other comprehensive income; and
 transactions with owners in their capacity as owners, showing
separately contributions by and distributions to owners and changes in
ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of
control.
IV. An entity shall present, either in the statement of changes in equity or in the
notes, the amounts of dividends recognized as distributions to owners during
the period, and the related amount of dividends per share.

Page 18 of 24
• Statement of Cash Flows: Cash flow information provides users of financial
statements with a basis to assess the ability of the entity to generate cash and cash
equivalents and the needs of the entity to utilize those cash flows. IAS 7 sets out
requirements for the presentation and disclosure of cash flow information.
• Notes to the FS: An entity shall, as far as practicable, present notes in a systematic
manner. An entity shall cross reference each item in the statements of financial
position and of comprehensive income, in the separate statement of comprehensive
income (if presented), and in the statements of changes in equity and of cash flows to
any related information in the notes.
I. information about the basis of preparation of the financial statements and the
specific accounting policies used;
II. information required by IFRSs that is not presented elsewhere in the financial
statements; and
III. information that is not presented elsewhere in the financial statements, but is
relevant to an understanding of any of them.

An entity normally presents notes to assist users to understand the financial statements
and to compare them with financial statements of other entities:
IV. statement of compliance with IFRSs;
V. summary of significant accounting policies applied;
VI. supporting information for items presented in the statements of financial
position and of comprehensive income, in the separate statement of
comprehensive income (if presented), and in the statements of changes in

VII. other disclosures, including contingent liabilities and unrecognized contractual
commitments, and non-financial disclosures, eg the entity’s financial risk
management objectives and policies.
• Sources of Estimation Uncertainty: An entity shall disclose information about the
assumptions it makes about the future, and other major sources of estimation
uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of resulting
in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next financial year. In respect of those assets and liabilities, the notes shall include
details of their nature, and their carrying amount as at the end of the reporting period.
• Other Disclosures: An entity shall disclose in the notes the amount of dividends
proposed or declared before the financial statements were authorized for issue but not
recognized as a distribution to owners during the period, and the related amount per
share; and the amount of any cumulative preference dividends not recognized. An
entity shall disclose the following, if not disclosed elsewhere in information published
with the financial statements
I. the domicile and legal form of the entity, its country of incorporation and the
address of its registered office (or principal place of business, if different from

 IFRS 1: First-time Adoption of IFRSs
The objective of this IFRS is to ensure that an entity’s first IFRS financial statements, and its
interim financial reports for part of the period covered by those financial statements, contain
high quality information that:
(a) is transparent for users and comparable over all periods presented;
(b) provides a suitable starting point for accounting in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs); and
(c) can be generated at a cost that does not exceed the benefits.

An entity shall prepare and present an opening IFRS statement of financial position at the
date of transition to IFRSs. This is the starting point for its accounting in accordance with
IFRSs. An entity shall use the same accounting policies in its opening IFRS statement of
financial position and throughout all periods presented in its first IFRS financial statements.
Those accounting policies shall comply with each IFRS effective at the end of its first IFRS
reporting period. In particular, the IFRS requires an entity to do the following in the opening
IFRS statement of financial position that it prepares as a starting point for its accounting
under IFRSs:

(a) recognize all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by IFRSs;
(b) not recognize items as assets or liabilities if IFRSs do not permit such recognition;
(c) reclassify items that it recognized in accordance with previous GAAP as one type of
asset, liability or component of equity, but are a different type of asset, liability or
component of equity in accordance with IFRSs; and
(d) apply IFRSs in measuring all recognized assets and liabilities.

The IFRS grants limited exemptions from these requirements in specified areas where the
cost of complying with them would be likely to exceed the benefits to users of financial
statements. The IFRS also prohibits retrospective application of IFRSs in some areas,
particularly where retrospective application would require judgments by management about
past conditions after the outcome of a particular transaction is already known. The IFRS
requires disclosures that explain how the transition from previous GAAP to IFRSs affected
the entity’s reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
• Comparative Information: An entity’s first IFRS financial statements shall include
at least three statements of financial position, two statements of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income, two separate statements of profit or loss (if presented),
two statements of cash flows and two statements of changes in equity and related
notes, including comparative information for all statements presented.
• Explanation of Transition to IFRSs: An entity shall explain how the transition from
previous GAAP to IFRSs affected its reported financial position, financial
performance and cash flows.
• Reconciliations: To comply with this IFRS, an entity’s first IFRS financial
statements shall include:
(a) reconciliations of its equity reported in accordance with previous GAAP to its
equity in accordance with IFRSs for both of the following dates:
o the date of transition to IFRSs; and

Page 21 of 24
o the end of the latest period presented in the entity’s most recent annual
financial statements in accordance with previous GAAP.
(b) a reconciliation to its total comprehensive income in accordance with IFRSs for
the latest period in the entity’s most recent annual financial statements. The
starting point for that reconciliation shall be total comprehensive income in
accordance with previous GAAP for the same period or, if an entity did not
report such a total, profit or loss under previous GAAP.
(c) if the entity recognized or reversed any impairment losses for the first-time in
preparing its opening IFRS statement of financial position, the disclosures that
IAS 36 Impairment of Assets would have required if the entity had recognized
those impairment losses or reversals in the period beginning with the date of
transition to IFRSs.
• Definition of Terms used in IFRS
Date of transition to IFRSs: The beginning of the earliest period for which an entity
presents full comparative information under IFRSs in its first IFRS financial
statements.
Deemed Cost: An amount used as a surrogate for cost or depreciated cost at a given date.
Subsequent depreciation or amortization assumes that the entity had initially
recognized the asset or liability at the given date and that its cost was equal to the
deemed cost.
Fair Value: Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. (See IFRS 13.)
First IFRS Financial Statements: The first annual financial statements in which an entity
adopts International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), by an explicit and
unreserved statement of compliance with IFRSs.
First IFRS Reporting Period: The latest reporting period covered by an entity’s first IFRS
financial statements.
First-time Adopter: An entity that presents its first IFRS financial statements.
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs): Standards and Interpretations
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). They comprise:
(a) International Financial Reporting Standards;
(b) International Accounting Standards;
(c) IFRIC Interpretations; and
(d) SIC Interpretations.
Opening IFRS Statement of Financial Position: An entity’s statement of financial position
at the date of transition to IFRSs.
Previous GAAP: The basis of accounting that a first-time adopter used immediately before
adopting IFRSs.

Page 22 of 24
 IAS 7: Statement of Cash Flows

The objective of this Standard is to require the provision of information about the historical
changes in cash and cash equivalents of an entity by means of a statement of cash flows
which classifies cash flows during the period from operating, investing and financing
activities. Cash flows are inflows and outflows of 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.

Information about the cash flows of an entity is useful in providing users of financial
statements with a basis to assess the ability of the entity to generate cash and cash equivalents
and the needs of the entity to utilize those cash flows. The economic decisions that are taken
by users require an evaluation of the ability of an entity to generate cash and cash equivalents
and the timing and certainty of their generation. The statement of cash flows shall report cash
flows during the period classified by operating, investing and financing activities.

A. Operating activities

Operating activities are the principal revenue-producing activities of the entity and other
activities that are not investing or financing activities. Cash flows from operating activities
are primarily derived from the principal revenue-producing activities of the entity. Therefore,
they generally result from the transactions and other events that enter into the determination
of profit or loss. The amount of cash flows arising from operating activities is a key indicator
of the extent to which the operations of the entity have generated sufficient cash flows to
repay loans, maintain the operating capability of the entity, pay dividends and make new
investments without recourse to external sources of financing.

An entity shall report cash flows from operating activities using either:
(a) the direct method, whereby major classes of gross cash receipts and gross cash
payments are disclosed; or
(b) the indirect method, whereby 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.

Examples of cash flows from operating activities are:


(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;
(e) cash receipts and cash payments of an insurance entity for premiums and claims,
annuities and other policy benefits;
(f) cash payments or refunds of income taxes unless they can be specifically identified
with financing and investing activities; and
(g) cash receipts and payments from contracts held for dealing or trading purposes.

Page 23 of 24
B. Investing activities
Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other investments
not included in cash equivalents. The separate disclosure of cash flows arising from investing
activities is important because the cash flows represent the extent to which expenditures have
been made for resources intended to generate future income and cash flows. The aggregate
cash flows arising from obtaining and losing control of subsidiaries or other businesses shall
be presented separately and classified as investing activities.

Examples of cash flows arising from investing activities are:


(a) cash payments to acquire property, plant and equipment, intangibles and other long-
term assets. These payments include 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 long-
term assets;
(c) cash payments to acquire equity or debt instruments of other entities and interests in
joint ventures (other than payments for those instruments considered to be cash
equivalents or those held for dealing or trading purposes);
(d) cash receipts from sales of equity or debt instruments of other entities and interests in
joint ventures (other than receipts for those instruments considered to be cash
equivalents and those held for dealing or trading purposes);
(e) cash advances and loans made to other parties (other than advances and loans made
by a financial institution);
(f) cash receipts from the repayment of advances and loans made to other parties (other
than advances and loans of a financial institution);
(g) cash payments for futures contracts, forward contracts, option contracts and swap
contracts except when the contracts are held for dealing or trading purposes, or the
payments are classified as financing activities; and
(h) cash receipts from futures contracts, forward contracts, option contracts and swap
contracts except when the contracts are held for dealing or trading purposes, or the
receipts are classified as financing activities.

A. Financing activities
Financing activities are activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the
contributed equity and borrowings of the entity. The separate disclosure of cash flows arising
from financing activities is important because it is useful in predicting claims on future cash
flows by providers of capital to the entity. An entity shall report separately major classes of
gross cash receipts and gross cash payments arising from investing and financing activities.

Examples of cash flows arising from financing activities are:


(a) cash proceeds from issuing shares or other equity instruments;
(b) cash payments to owners to acquire or redeem the entity’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; and
(e) cash payments by a lessee for the reduction of the outstanding liability relating to a
finance lease.

Page 24 of 24
Non-cash transactions

Investing and financing transactions that do not require the use of cash or cash equivalents
shall be excluded from a statement of cash flows. Such transactions shall be disclosed
elsewhere in the financial statements in a way that provides all the relevant information about
these investing and financing activities.

Foreign currency cash flows

Cash flows arising from transactions in a foreign currency shall be recorded in an entity’s
functional currency by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between
the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the cash flow. The cash flows
of a foreign subsidiary shall be translated at the exchange rates between the functional
currency and the foreign currency at the dates of the cash flows. Unrealized gains and losses
arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates are not cash flows. However, the
effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents held or due in a foreign
currency is reported in the statement of cash flows in order to reconcile cash and cash
equivalents at the beginning and the end of the period.

Cash and cash equivalents

An entity shall disclose the components of cash and cash equivalents and shall present a
reconciliation of the amounts in its statement of cash flows with the equivalent items reported
in the statement of financial position. An entity shall disclose, together with a commentary by
management, the amount of significant cash and cash equivalent balances held by the entity
that are not available for use by the group.

Interest and dividends

a) Cash flows from interest and dividends received and paid shall each be disclosed
separately. Each shall be classified in a consistent manner from period to period as
either operating, investing or financing activities.
b) The total amount of interest paid during a period is disclosed in the cash flows
statement whether it has been recognized as an expense in profit or loss or capitalized
as Borrowing Costs.
c) Interest paid and interest and dividends received are usually classified as operating
cash flows for a financial institution. However, there is no consensus on the
classification of these cash flows for other entities. Interest paid and interest and
dividends received may be classified as operating cash flows because they enter into
the determination of profit or loss. Alternatively, interest paid and interest and
dividends received may be classified as financing cash flows and investing cash flows
respectively, because they are costs of obtaining financial resources or returns on
investments.
d) Dividends paid may be classified as a financing cash flow because they are a cost of
obtaining financial resources. Alternatively, dividends paid may be classified as a
component of cash flows from operating activities in order to assist users to determine
the ability of an entity to pay dividends out of operating cash flows.

 Worksheet

A worksheet is a multiple column form that may be used in the adjustment process and in preparing 
financial statements. As its name suggests, the worksheet is a working tool. A work sheet is not a 
permanent accounting record; it is neither a journal nor a part of the general ledger. The worksheet is 
merely a device used to make it easier to prepare adjusting entries and the financial statements. The 
use of worksheet is optional.

 Steps in Preparing Worksheet 

1. Prepare a Trial Balance on the Work Sheet
2. Enter the adjustments in the Adjustments columns
3. Enter adjusted balances in the Adjusted Trial Balance columns
4. Extend adjusted trial balance amounts to appropriate Financial Statement columns
5. Total the statement columns, compute the Net Income or Net Loss

 Plant assets (Three Characteristics)

1. Have physical substance (a definite size and shape)
2. Used in the operations of a business 
3. Not intended for sale to customers  

 Plant assets are subdivided into four classes:  

1. Land
2. Land Improvements
3. Buildings
4. Equipment

 Cost of Plant Assets

 Plant assets are recorded at cost in accordance with the cost principle. 
 Cost consists of all expenditures necessary to acquire the asset and make it ready for its 
intended use
 Cost includes purchase price, freight costs, and installation costs.
 Expenditures that are not necessary recorded as expenses, losses, or other assets

 The cost of land includes:
 Cash purchase price
 Closing costs such as title and attorney’s fees
 Real estate brokers’ commissions
 Accrued property taxes and other liens on the land assumed by the purchaser. 
 All necessary costs incurred to make land ready for its intended use are debited to the Land 
account.

Page 1 of 6
Sometimes purchased land has a building on it that must be removed before construction of a new 
building.  In this case, all demolition and removal costs, less any proceeds from salvaged materials are 
debited to the Land account

Land
Cash price of property  100,000
Net removal cost of warehouse 6,000
Attorney’s fee 1,000
Real estate broker’s commission 8,000
Cost of land  115,000

Page 2 of 6
 Land Improvements
The cost of land improvements includes all expenditures needed to make the improvements ready 
for their intended use such as:

 Parking lots
 Fencing
 Lighting

 Cost of Buildings

 The cost includes all necessary expenditures relating to the purchase or construction of a 
building
 The costs include the purchase price, closing costs, and broker’s commission
 Costs to make the building ready for its intended use include
o expenditures for remodeling and replacing or
o repairing the roof, floors, wiring, and plumbing
 If a new building is constructed, costs include contract price plus payments for architects’ fees, 
building permits, interest payments during construction, and excavation costs

 Cost of Equipment

 Cost of equipment consists of the cash purchase price and certain related costs.
 Costs include sales taxes, freight charges, and insurance paid by the purchaser during transit.
 Cost includes all expenditures required in assembling, installing, and testing the unit.

Factory Machinery
Cash price  50,000
Sales taxes 3,000
Insurance during shipping 500
Installation and testing 1,000
Cost of factory machinery  54,500

Factory Machinery 54,500
      Cash 54,500

 Cost of Delivery Truck

Page 3 of 6

 Depreciation

 Depreciation is the allocation of the cost of a plant asset to expense over its useful (service) life 
in a rational and systematic manner.
 Cost allocation provides for the proper matching of expenses with revenues in accordance with 
the matching principle.
 Usefulness may decline because of wear and tear or obsolescence.
 Depreciation does not result in an accumulation of cash for the replacement of the asset.
 Land is the only plant asset that is not depreciated.

 Factors in Computing Depreciation
 Cost: All expenditures necessary to acquire the asset and make it ready for intended use 
 Useful life: Estimate of the expected life based on need for repair, service life, and vulnerability 
to obsolescence
 Salvage value: Estimate of the asset’s value at the end of its useful life

 Depreciation Methods

 Straight­line 
 Units of activity
 Declining­balance and
 Sum­of­the­Year­Digits Method

Each method is acceptable under GAAP.  Management selects the method that is appropriate in 
the  circumstances. Once a method is chosen, it should be applied consistently. Uses of different 
methods are 

o Straight­line = 82%
o Units of activity = 5%
o Declining­balance = 4%
o Other = 9%

 Straight­Line Method
 Depreciation is the same for each year of the asset’s useful life.
 It is measured solely by the passage of time.
 It is necessary to determine depreciable cost.
 Depreciable cost is the total amount subject to depreciation and is computed as follows:
Cost of asset ­ salvage value

Page 5 of 6
 Units­of­Activity

 Useful life = total units of production or total expected use expressed in hours, miles, units, etc.
 Depreciation Cost per Unit = Depreciable Cost ÷ Total Units of Activity. 
 Annual Depreciation Expense = Depreciation Cost per Unit x Units of Activity During the Year. 
 It is often difficult to make a reasonable estimate of total activity.
 When productivity varies from one period to another, this method results in the best matching 
of expenses with revenues.

Page 6 of 6
 Declining­Balance

 Decreasing annual depreciation expense over the asset’s useful life.
 Periodic depreciation is based on a declining book value (cost ­ accumulated depreciation)
 To compute annual depreciation expense multiply the book value at the beginning of the year 
by the declining­balance depreciation rate
 Depreciation rate remains constant from  year to year but book value declines each year.
 Book value for the first year is the cost of the asset. 
 Balance in accumulated depreciation at the beginning of the asset’s useful life is zero
 In subsequent years, book value is the difference between cost and accumulated depreciation 
at the beginning of the year. 
 Formula is
Book Value at Beginning of Year x Declining Balance Rate = Annual Depreciation Expense
 Method compatible with the matching principle because the higher depreciation in early years 
is matched with the higher benefits received in these years.
 Unlike the other depreciation methods, salvage value is  ignored in determining the amount to 
which the declining balance rate is applied.  
 A common application of the declining­balance method is the double­declining­balance 
method, in which the declining­ balance rate is double the straight­line rate. 

 Office Equipment Data

Compare the three depreciation methods, using the following data for office equipment purchased 
by Badal on January 1, 2005.

Cost Tk. 13,000
Expected salvage value Tk. 1,000
Estimated useful life in years 5
Estimated useful life in units 100,000

 Sum­of­the­Year­Digit

 The sum­of­the­year­digit method provides decreasing charges by applying a series of 
fractions, each of a smaller value, to depreciable assets.

n(n + 1)
Denominator for the fraction =   
2

Page 7 of 6
n = useful life of the assets
 Numerator for the fraction = Weight assigned to the specific year (remaining period the asset 
will be used) 

 Revising Periodic Depreciation

 Changes should be made if excessive wear and tear or obsolescence indicates that annual 
depreciation estimates are inadequate.
 When a change is made no correction of previously recorded depreciation expense. Only the 
depreciation expenses for current and future years are revised
 To determine the new annual depreciation expense the depreciable cost at the time of the 
revision is divided by the remaining useful life.

Page 8 of 6
Badal decides on January 1, 2008, to extend the useful life of the equipment one year because of 
its excellent condition.  The company has used the straight­line method to depreciate the asset to 
date, and book value is (Tk. 13,000 – Tk. 7,200 =  Tk. 5,800). The new annual depreciation will be;

Book Value (1/1/2008) Tk. 5,800
Less: Salvage Value Tk. 1,000
Depreciable Cost Tk. 4,800

Remaining useful life (2008­2010) 3 Years
Revised Annual Depreciation (Tk. 4,800/3) Tk. 1,600

 Example
At the beginning of 2003, Belal & Co. acquired equipment costing Tk. 60,000. It was estimated that 
this equipment would have a useful life of 6 years and a residual value of Tk. 6,000 at that time. 
During 2005, the company’s engineers reconsidered their expectations, and estimated that the 
equipment’s useful life would probably be 7 years instead of 6 years. The residual value was not 
changed at that time. However, during 2008 the estimated residual value was reduced to Tk. 3,000. 
How much depreciation expense should be recorded for this equipment each of the year under 
straight­line method?

 Expenditures During Useful Life

 Ordinary repairs:  
The expenditures to maintain the operating efficiency and productive life of the unit. Such 
repairs are debited to Repairs Expense as incurred and are often referred to as revenue 
expenditures.

 Capital expenditures:
Additions and improvements increase the operating efficiency, productive capacity, or useful 
life of a plant asset
o Usually material in amount and occur  infrequently.
o Increase the company’s investment in productive facilities.
 Capital expenditure is debited the plant asset affected.

INVENTORY BASICS

• Balance sheet of merchandising and


manufacturing companies
– inventory is significant current asset
• Income statement
– inventory is vital in determining results
• Gross profit
– (net sales - cost of goods sold)
• watched by management, owners, and others

February 26, 2012 2

Page 1
MERCHANDISE INVENTORY

Merchandise inventory
1. Owned by the company
2. In a form ready for sale

February 26, 2012 3

MANUFACTURING INVENTORY
• Manufacturing inventories
– may not yet be ready for sale

• Classified into three categories:


1. Finished goods
ready for sale
2. Work in process
various stages of production (not completed)
3. Raw materials
components on hand waiting to be used
February 26, 2012 4

Page 2
DETERMINING INVENTORY
QUANTITIES

To prepare financial statements determine


1. The number of units in inventory by taking a
physical inventory of goods on hand
2. The ownership of goods

February 26, 2012 5

DETERMINING COST OF
INVENTORY

1. Apply unit costs to the total units on


hand for each item
2. Total the cost of each item of inventory to
determine total cost of goods on hand

February 26, 2012 6

Page 3
OWNERSHIP OF GOODS IN
TRANSIT
• Goods in transit:
included in the inventory of the party that has legal
title to the goods
• FOB (Free on Board) shipping point:
ownership of the goods passes to the buyer when the
public carrier accepts the goods from the seller
• FOB destination point:
legal title to the goods remains with the seller until
the goods reach the buyer

February 26, 2012 7

TERMS OF SALE

February 26, 2012 8

Page 4
CONSIGNED GOODS
Consignment:
the holder of the goods (consignee) does not
own the goods
– ownership remains with the consignor of the
goods until the goods are sold
– consigned goods should be included in the
consignor’s inventory, not the consignee’s
inventory

Owned by a consignor; do not


count in consignee inventory
February 26, 2012 9
Consignee Company

INVENTORY ACCOUNTING
SYSTEMS

1. Perpetual
• detailed records
• cost of each item maintained
• cost of each item sold is determined when
sale occurs
2. Periodic
• cost of goods sold is determined at the end of
accounting period
February 26, 2012 10

INVENTORY VALUATION
METHODS

1. Specific Identification Method


2. Assumed Cost Flow Methods
1. First-in, First-out (FIFO)
2. Last-in, First-out (LIFO)
3. Average Cost

February 26, 2012 11

SPECIFIC IDENTIFICATION
METHOD

• If each unit is unique


• Best suited to Inventories of
• high-priced, low-volume items

February 26, 2012 12

Page 6
SPECIFIC IDENTIFICATION
METHOD

February 26, 2012 13

FIFO
• The FIFO method
– earliest goods purchased are the first to be sold.
– often parallels the actual physical flow of merchandise.
– the costs of the earliest goods purchased are the first to
be recognized as cost of goods sold.

February 26, 2012 14

Page 7
FIFO

February 26, 2012 15

LIFO
• The LIFO method assumes that the latest goods
purchased are the first to be sold.

• Under LIFO, the costs of the latest goods


purchased are the first goods to be sold.

February 26, 2012 16

Page 8
LIFO

February 26, 2012 17

AVERAGE COST

• The average cost method


– assumes goods available for sale are homogeneous.
– the cost of goods available for sale is allocated on the
basis of the weighted average unit cost incurred.
– weighted average unit cost is applied to the units on
hand to determine cost of the ending inventory.

February 26, 2012 18

February 26, 2012 19

USE OF COST FLOW METHODS IN


MAJOR U.S. COMPANIES

Companies adopt different inventory cost flow methods for various


reasons. Usually one of the following factors is involved:

1) income statement effects


2) balance sheet effects or
3) tax effects. 21%
Average
5% Other
Cost 44%
FIFO
30%
LIFO

February 26, 2012 20

Page 10
USING INVENTORY COST FLOW
METHODS CONSISTENTLY
• Consistency
– Companies needs to use its chosen cost
flow method from one period to another.
– Consistent application makes financial
statements comparable over successive
time periods.
– If a company adopts a different cost flow
method:
• The change and its effects on net income must
be disclosed in the financial statements
February 26, 2012 21

INVENTORY ERRORS - INCOME


STATEMENT EFFECTS
• both beginning and ending inventories appear
on the income statement
• ending inventory of one period automatically
becomes the beginning inventory of the next
period
• inventory errors
– affect the determination of cost of
goods sold and net income

February 26, 2012 22

EFFECTS OF INVENTORY ERRORS ON
CURRENT YEAR’S INCOME STATEMENT

Cost of

Understate ending inventory Overstated Understated
Overstate ending inventory Understated Overstated

An error in ending inventory of the current period will have a reverse


effect on net income of the next period.

February 26, 2012 23

ENDING INVENTORY ERROR -


BALANCE SHEET EFFECTS

Errors in the ending inventory have the


following effects on these components:

Ending Inventory
Error Assets Liabilities Owner’s Equity

Overstated Overstated None Overstated


Understated Understated None Understated

February 26, 2012 24

Page 12
INVENTORY DISCLOSURES
• Inventory
– classified as a current asset after receivables in
the balance sheet
• Cost of goods sold
– subtracted from sales in the income statement

• Disclosure either in the balance sheet or in


accompanying notes for:
1 major inventory classifications
2 basis of accounting (cost or lower of cost or market)
3 costing method (FIFO, LIFO, or average cost)

February 26, 2012 25

LCM – PERIODIC

• Value of inventory is lower than its cost


– The inventory is written down to its market value
• Known as the lower of cost or market (LCM)
method
• LCM basis
– Market is defined as current replacement cost, not
selling price

 Accounting 

Accounting is an information system that identifies, records, and communicates the economic events of an 
organization to interested users.

 Financial Statements

Financial Statements (FS) are the output of accounting system. Accounting communicates the financial 
information to the interested users through FS. “General purpose financial statements are those intended to 
meet the needs of users who are not in a position to demand reports tailored to meet their particular 
information needs” (IAS 1, 2006, p. 691). FSs are a structured representation of the financial position and 
financial performance of an entity. The objective of general purpose FSs is to provide information about the 
financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity that is useful to a wide range of users in 
making economic decisions. To meet this objective, FSs provide information about an entity’s:
(a) Assets, 
(b) Liabilities
(c) Equity
(d) Income and Expenses, including gains and losses
(e) Other changes in Equity
(f) Liquidity of assets and liabilities (for banks) and 
(g) Cash Flows

 Components of Financial Statements (FSs) 

After transactions are identified, recorded and summarized, a set of FSs are prepared from the summarized 
accounting data. A complete set of FSs comprises:

(a) A Balance Sheet

Page 1 of 13
(b) An Income Statement
(c) A Statement of Changes in Equity showing
(d) A Cash Flow Statement
(e) Liquidity Statements (for banks) and
(f) Notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Note: The Income Statement, Statement of Change in Equity, and Cash Flows Statement are all for a  
period of time, whereas the Balance Sheet is for a point in time.

 Cost­volume­profit (CVP) Analysis  (Managerial Accounting, Garrison, 10th edition, p. 234)

Cost­volume­profit (CVP) analysis is one of most powerful tool that helps management to make their 
decision.   It   helps   them   understand   the   interrelationship   between   cost,   volume   and   profit   in   an 
organization by focusing on interactions among the following five elements:

1. Prices of products
2. Volume or level of activity
3. Per unit variable cost
4. Total fixed costs
5. Mixed of product sold

As CVP analysis helps managers understand the interrelationships among cost, volume, and profit, it is 
a   vital   tool   in   many   business   decisions.   These   decisions   include,   for   example,   what   products   to 
manufacture or sell, what pricing policy to follow, what marketing strategy to employ, and what type of 
productive facilities to acquire.

 Contribution Margin

Contribution margin is the amount remaining from sales revenue after variable expenses have been 
deducted. It is used first to cover the fixed expenses and then whatever remains goes toward profits. If 
the contribution margin is not sufficient to cover the fixed expenses, then a loss occurs for the period. 

Activity Level  Activity Level  Activity Level 


500 Units 600 Units 700 Units
Sales @ Tk. 10 per unit Tk. 5000 Tk. 6000 Tk. 7000
Less, Variable Expenses @ Tk. 8 per unit Tk. 4000 Tk. 4800 Tk. 5600
Contribution Margin @ Tk. 2 per unit Tk. 1000 Tk. 1200 Tk. 1400
Less, Fixed Expenses Tk. 1200 Tk. 1200 Tk. 1200
Net Operating Income (Loss) Tk.  (200) Tk. 0 Tk. 200

Page 1 of 20
In the above example, at activity level 500 units, contribution margin is Tk. 1000, which is less than the 
fixed expenses Tk. 1200. So, operating loss at this level Tk. 200 ( Tk. 1200­ 1000). At activity level 600 
units, the contribution margin and fixed expenses are equal i. e., Tk. 1200 = Tk. 1200 and it is break­
even level of activity where there is no profit or loss. And at activity level 700 units, the contribution 
margin is more than the fixed expenses by Tk. 200, which indicate the operating income for the period. 

Page 2 of 20
 Contribution Margin Ratio

Contribution Margin 1200
CM ratio = = = 20 %
Total Sales 6000
or 
Unit Contribution Margin 2
CM ratio = = = 20 %
Unit Selling Price 10

Here, contribution margin is 20% of total sales. If sales increase then contribution margin will increase 
by 20% of the sales increased.

 Break­Even Point 

Break­even point is that level of activity where there is no profit or loss. At this level, total revenue 
equals to total expenses and company’s profit is zero, i.e., Total Sales Revenue = Total Variable Costs 
+ Total Fixed Costs. If the company exceed break­even level, then the company earns profit and if the 
activity   level   is   under   the   break­even   point,   company   suffers   a   loss.   There   are   two   methods   for 
calculating break­even point, which are as follows:

A. The Equation Method: 

Profit = (Sales – Variable Expenses) – Fixed Expenses

Sales = Variable Expenses + Fixed Expenses + Profits

Example 
Let, Selling price per unit = Tk. 10, Variable Expense per unit = Tk. 8, Total Fixed Expenses = 
Tk. 1200, Break­ even Quantity of sales (Q) =? What would be the break­even sales in amount 
(Taka)?

Sales = Variable Expenses + Fixed Expenses + Profits
Tk. 10Q = Tk. 8Q + Tk. 1200 + Tk. 0
Tk. 10Q – Tk. 8Q = Tk. 1200
Tk. 2Q = Tk. 1200
Q = 600 

Therefore, Break­even point in units   = 600 Units  or 


    Break­even point in amount  = Tk. 10 x 600 Units = Tk. 6000

B. The Contribution Margin Method: 

Page 3 of 20
Fixed Expenses 1200
Break­even point in units = = = 600 Units
Unit Contribution Margin 2
or
Fixed Expenses 1200
Break­even point in Taka = = = Tk. 6000
Contribution Margin Ratio 0.2

Page 4 of 20
 Break­Even Point as a Percentage of Capacity

Break­even point as % of capacity output shows at which % of the capacity level the firm reaches its 
break­even point.

BEP
BEP as % of Capacity = x 100
Total Capacity

Suppose, 
Total Capacity = 1000 Units or Tk. 10000
BEP = 600 or Tk. 6000
BEP as % of Capacity = ?

600 units
BEP as % of Capacity = x 100 = 60%
1000 units
or
Tk. 6000
BEP as % of Capacity = x 100 = 60%
Tk. 10000

 Target Profit Analysis 

Target profit is that amount of profit that the company wants to earn for this period. CVP formulas can 

be used to determine the sales volume needed to achieve a target profit. 

A. The Equation Method

Sales = Variable Expenses + Fixed Expenses + Profits

Example 

Let, Selling price per unit = Tk. 10, Variable Expense per unit = Tk. 8, Total Fixed Expenses = 

Tk. 1200, Expected Profit = Tk. 200. What will be the expected Quantity of sales (X) =? What 

will be the expected sales in amount (Taka)?

Sales = Variable Expenses + Fixed Expenses + Profits

Tk. 10X = Tk. 8X + Tk. 1200 + Tk. 200

Page 5 of 20
Tk. 10X – Tk. 8X = Tk. 1400

Tk. 2X = Tk. 1400

X = 700

Therefore, 

Expected sales in units to achieve the target profit = 700 Units   or     

Expected sales in amount to achieve the target profit  = Tk. 10 x 700 Units = Tk. 7000

B. The Contribution Margin Method

Fixed Expenses + Profit 1200+200
Expected sales in units = = = 700 Units
Unit Contribution Margin 2
or
Fixed Expenses + Profit 1200+200
Expected sales in Taka = = = Tk. 7000
Contribution Margin Ratio 0.2

 The Margin of Safety 

The margin of safety is the excess of budgeted (or actual) sales over the break­even volume of sales. 
The higher the margin of safety, the lower the risk of not breaking even. The formula is:

Margin of Safety = Total Budgeted (or actual) sales – Break­even Sales

Margin of Safety in amount
Margin of Safety Percentage =
Total Budgeted (or actual) Sales

Example (From previous example)

Sales 700 units @ Tk. 10 Tk. 7000
Break­even sales 600 units @ 10 Tk. 6000
Margin of Safety in Taka Tk. 1000
Margin of Safety as a percentage of sales 14.29%

This margin of safety means that at the current level of sales and with the company’s current prices and 
cost structure, a reduction in sales of Tk. 1000 or 14.29%, would result in just breaking even

 Operating Leverage

Page 6 of 20
Operating leverage is a measure of how sensitive net operating income is to percentage changes in 
sales. Operating leverage acts as a multiplier. If operating leverage is high, a small percentage increase 
in sales can produce a much larger percentage increase in net operating income. 

Contribution Margin
Degree of Operating Leverage =
Net Operating Income

The degree of operating leverage is a measure, at a given level of sales, of how a percentage change 
in sales volume will affect profits.

Example

Activity Level  Activity Level  Activity Level 


700 Units(100%) 770 Units(110%) 840 Units(120%)
Sales @ Tk. 10 per unit Tk. 7000 Tk. 7700 Tk. 8400
Less, Variable Expenses @ Tk. 8 per unit Tk. 5600 Tk. 6160 Tk. 6720
Contribution Margin @ Tk. 2 per unit Tk. 1400 Tk. 1540 Tk. 1680
Less, Fixed Expenses Tk. 1200 Tk. 1200 Tk. 1200
Net Operating Income (Loss)  Tk. 200   Tk. 340   Tk. 480

Contribution Margin 1400
Degree of Operating Leverage = = = 7
Net Operating Income 200

In the above example, degree of operating leverage at activity level 700 units is 7. If sales increase by 
10%, then we can expect the net operating income to increase by seven times i.e., 10% x 7 = 70% (Tk. 
200 x 170% = Tk. 340). If sales increase by 20%, then we can expect the net operating income to 
increase by seven times i.e., 20% x 7 = 140% (Tk. 200 x 240% = Tk. 480).

 Preparing the CVP Graph 

The relationship among revenue, cost, profit and volume can be expressed graphically by preparing a 
CVP graph. 

Suppose, Selling Price Per unit Tk. 10, Variable Cost Per unit Tk. 8, Total Fixed Cost Tk. 1200. 
Calculate the Break Even Point using CVP graph.

Page 7 of 20
We are given
Total Fixed Cost = Tk. 1200 (Draw a Fixed Cost Line)

VC (for 0 Unit)      = Tk. 0
Total Cost (for 0 Units, FC + VC) = Tk. 1200 (Put a Point (.) for Total Cost at O Unit)

VC (for 800Units)    = Tk. 6400
Total Cost (for 800 Units, FC + VC)    = Tk. 7600 (Put a Point (.) for Total Cost at 800 Unit and 
add with previous Point at 0 unit)

Total Revenue (for 0 Units) = Tk. 0 (Put a Point (.) for Total Revenue at O Unit)
Total Revenue (for 800 Units)            = Tk. 8000 (Put a Point (.) for Total Revenue at 800 Unit 
and add with previous Point at 0 unit)

 Importance of CVP Analysis

1. What minimum level of sales is needed to avoid losses?

2. What should be the sales level to earn a target profit?

3. What will be the effect of changes in prices, costs and volume of profits? What will be the new 
BEP then?

4. What will be the impact of plant expansion on cost­volume­profit relationship?

5. Which product is the most profitable and which one is the least profitable?

  Assumptions of CVP Analysis 

1. Selling price is constant. The price of a product or service will not change as volume 
changes.

2. Costs are linear and can be accurately divided into variable and fixed elements.

3. In multi­product companies, the sales mix is constant

4. In manufacturing companies, inventories do not change. The number of units produced 
equals the number of units sold. 

 Limitation of CVP Analysis

1. Selling price may not remain unchanged over a period of time

2. Difficult to segregate costs into fixed and variable component

3. It is not correct to assume that total fixed costs will remain unchanged over the entire range of 
activity

4. The assumption of constant unit variable costs in not valid (Discount)

Page 9 of 20
5. It is a short term concept and has a limited use of long­range planning

Page 10 of 20
 The Concept of Sales Mix

Sales mix is the relative proportion in which a company’s products are sold. Different products have 
different selling prices, cost structures, and contribution margins.

Let’s assume ABC Company sells ‘X’ and ‘Y’ and that the sales mix between the two products remains

Tk. 60Q = Tk. 45Q + Tk. 24000 + Tk. 0
Tk. 60Q – Tk. 45Q = Tk. 24000
Tk. 15Q = Tk. 24000
Q = 1600 

Therefore, Break­even point in units   = 1600 Units  or 


    Break­even point in amount  = Tk. 60 x 600 Units = Tk. 96000

Req. 4

i) Target Sales to earn profit Tk. 9000 (Equation Method)

Let, Target Sales = Q Units
Sales = Variable Expenses + Fixed Expenses + Profits
Tk. 60Q = Tk. 45Q + Tk. 24000 + Tk. 9000
Tk. 60Q – Tk. 45Q = Tk. 33000
Tk. 15Q = Tk. 33000
Q = 2200

Therefore,

 Relevant & Irrelevant Cost (Managerial Accounting, Garrison, 10th edition, p. 586)

Relevant costs are considered for making decision.  A relevant cost is a cost that differs between 
alternatives.  Only those costs that differ in total between alternatives are relevant in a decision. If a 
cost will be the same regardless to the alternative selected, then the decision has no effect on the cost 
it can be ignored. For example, if you are trying to decide whether to go to a movie or to rent a video 
CD for the evening, the rent on your apartment is irrelevant. On the other hand, the cost of the movie 
ticket and the cost of renting the video CD would be relevant in the decision. 

 Sunk Cost (Managerial Accounting, Garrison, 10th  edition, p. 57)

A sunk cost is a cost that has already been incurred and that cannot be changed by any decision made 
now or in the future. Since sunk costs cannot be changed by any decision, they are not differential 
costs. Therefore, they can and should be ignored when making a decision. For example, a company 
paid Tk. 50,000 before 5 years for purchase a machine.

 Opportunity Costs (Managerial Accounting, Garrison, 10th edition, p. 57)

Opportunity cost is the potential benefit that is given up when one alternative is selected over another. 
Opportunity cost is not usually entered in the accounting records of an organization, but it is a cost that 
must be considered in making decision by management. For example, Tk. 100,000 can be invested @ 
10% interest in bond or deposited into bank @ 7% interest, if the amount is invested in bond then the 
bank interest (100,000X 7%) Tk. 7000 will be the opportunity cost of bond interest.

 Non­routine Decision (Cost Accounting, Jawahar Lal, 2nd edition, p. 1000)

1. The make or buy decision (p.598)

No. of units produced 10,000 5,000 8,000
Total fixed costs the company  Tk. 122,000

Production arrangements are such that if one product is given up the production of the others can be 
raised by 50%. The directors propose that Product C should be given up because the contribution from 
that product is the lowest. Present suitable analysis of the data indicating whether the proposal should 
be accepted.

 Solution to Problem 1 (Cost Accounting, Jawahar Lal, 2nd edition, p. 1021)

1. Calculation of total profit of the company:
Product A Product B Product C Total
Units 10,000 5,000 8,000
Contribution Margin per unit Tk. 24 Tk. 20 Tk. 16

4. Calculation of total profit if Product C is given up:
Product
Tatal
A B C
Units 10,000 5,000
Add, increased units 5,000 2,500
Total units 15,000 7,500
Contribution (Taka) 360,000 150,000 510,000
Fixed Costs 122,000
Net Operating income 388,000

Comment
If Product B is given up, the net operating income is the maximum since the total contribution of B is 
lowest. And also increase the net operating income by Tk. 84,000 (430,000 ­ 346,000) if Product B is 
given up. The proposal to give up product C, therefore, is not advisable.

 Problem 2 (Introduce new product)

Millon Company produces Paint and Varnish. The costs and revenue data of these products in 200X 
are as follows:

Direct Material  10 14
Direct Labor 8 16
Manufacturing Overhead (50% Fixed) 8 16

Page 4 of 13
In 200X the company produced and sold Paint 4000 kg and Varnish 6000 kg. Manufacturing overhead 
is charged on the basis of normal production, Paint 5000 kg and Varnish 7500 kg. Administrative selling 
expenses are Tk. 36,000 and 22,000 respectively. 

Company decides to  expand  its product line  by introducing  new  product  Ink. Expected  costs  and 


revenue data of the new product are as follows:

Selling Price per kg Tk. 40
Direct Material  16
Direct Labor 12
Manufacturing Overhead (50% Fixed) 12
Total costs Tk. 40

If the Ink is produced, fixed manufacturing overhead will increase by Tk. 2000 and addition selling 
expenses Tk.  3000. The market demand of ink is 3000 kg. If the present situation remains unchanged, 
whether the production of ink is profitable? (Show computation).

If the new product, Ink, produce and sold then net operating income will increase by Tk. 13,000. That 
means, total net operating income will be Tk. (66,000 + 13,000) = Tk. 79,000. So, management is 
appreciated to introduce the new product.

 Problem 3 (Make or Buy Decision)

Shima Tools Manufacturers wants to purchase a part for the equipment that it produces. Because the 
market price of the part is lower then production by Tk. 8. The annual demand of this part is 5,000 units 
and production costs per unit are as follows:

Paint
Direct Materials Tk. 21
Direct Labor 12
Manufacturing Overhead (125% of Direct Labour) 15
Total costs Tk. 48

Company may collect this part from an outside supplier by Tk. 40 per unit. If the company produce this 
part,   fixed   manufacturing   overhead   Tk.   4000.   If   purchase   from   outside,   carriage   inward   Tk.   500, 
warehousing cost Tk. 1200, labor compensation Tk. 1000. 40% of manufacturing overhead is variable.

 Solution to Problem 3 (Management Accounting, Mondol, 4th edition, p. 171)

1. Determination of costs the two alternatives

Cost for Buy Taka Cost for Production Taka


Purchase Price (5000x40) 200,000 Direct Material (5000 x21) 105,000
Carriage inward 500 Direct Labor (5000 x12) 60,000
Warehouse Cost 1,200 Fixed Manufacturing Overhead 4,000
Labor Compensation 1,000 Variable Manufacturing Overhead* 30,000
Total Cost 202,700 Total Relevant Cost 199,000

Total Cost for purchase from outside Tk. 202,700
Total Cost for production 199,000
Loss on purchase from outside Tk. 3,700

* Variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit for production = Tk. 15 x 40% = Tk. 6.

Comment
The cost of purchase from outside customer is higher than that of cost of production and loss on 
purchase from outside by Tk. 3,700. So the company should produce the part rather than purchase 
from outside.

 Problem 4 (Sell or Process Further)

A manufacturing company produces three products. The related data are given below:
Product
A B C
Production (kg) 3,000 4,000 6,000
Selling Price per kg Tk. 40 Tk. 45 Tk. 30
Joint Cost 98,000 156,000 160,000
Administrative Expenses 5,000 6,000 7,000
Selling Expenses 2,000 4,000 4,000

If product B is future processed it can be sold @ Tk. 64 per kg. Due to future processing, weight will 
reduce by 10% and future processing cost Tk. 40,000. Selling expenses will increase by Tk. 1200. 
Administrative expenses will remain unchanged. Whether Product B should process further?

 Solution to Problem 4 (Management Accounting, Mondol, 4th edition, p. 176)

Before After

Irrelevant cost and revenue  176,000 185,200
Processing Income 9,200
185,200 185,200

* Sales Revenue after processing = 4000 units x 90%= 3,600 units x Tk. 64 = Tk. 230,400

Comment
Incremental net operating income of process further Product B is Tk. 9,200. So, Product B process 
further is advisable. 

 Problem 5 (Make or Buy a Component)

Climate Control, Inc., manufactures a variety of heating and air­conditioning units. The company is

 Financial Statements Analysis
Financial statement analysis means application of analytical tools and techniques to financial statements 
and   other   relevant   data   to   obtain   useful   information.   This   information   reveals   significant   relationships 
between data and trends in those data that assess the company’s past performance and current financial 
position. The information shows the results or consequences of prior management decisions. In addition, 
analysts use the information to make predictions that may have a direct effect on decisions made by users 
of financial statements.

Analyzing   financial   statements   involves   evaluation   three   characteristics   of   a   company:   its   liquidity,   its 
profitability, its solvency and cash flows. Liquidity indicates the ability to meet the short­term obligation from 
current assets of the firm. Through profitability we come to know the operating efficiency or operating 
success of the firm. Solvency measures the ability to pay external liability from total assets of the firms.

 Tools of Financial Statement Analysis

Various tools are used to evaluate the significance of financial statement data. The commonly used tools 
are follows;
1. Horizontal Analysis  
Horizontal analysis is called trend analysis. It is a technique for evaluating a series of financial 
statement data over a period of time. It is used primarily in intra­company comparisons. Its 
purpose is to determine the increase or decrease that has taken place, expressed as either an 
amount or a percentage.

Page 1 of 16
Current Year Amount – Base Year Amount
Formula to calculate change =
Base Year Amount
Two features in published financial statements facilitate this type of comparison: First, each of 
the basic financial statements is presented on a comparative basis for a minimum of two years. 
Second,  a summary of selected financial data is presented for a series of 5 to 10 years or 
more.

Page 2 of 16
2. Vertical Analysis
Vertical analysis is a technique for evaluating financial statement data that expresses each 
item in a financial statement in terms of a percent of a base amount. Sometimes it is referred to 
as common size analysis. The value of total assets is used as the base amount for balance 
sheet items and the value of sales for income statement items. Vertical analysis is used in both 
intra­company and inter­company comparison.

3. Ratio Analysis
Ratio analysis expresses the relationship among selected items of financial statement data. A 
ratio expresses the mathematical relationship between one quantity and another. By observing 
financials at a glance one cannot immediately understand the actual financial condition of a 
firm i.e. whether the financial condition of the firm is improving or not. Ratio analysis is used in 
all three types of comparison; intra­company, inter­company and industry average. Ratio can 
be expressed as a percentage, rate or simple proportion.

4. Cash Flow Statement

Though Cash Flow Statement (CFS) is a separate statement it can help to analyze the cash 
inflows and out flows. The statement of cash flows reports the cash receipts, cash payments, 
and net change in cash resulting from the operating, investing, and financing activities of an 
enterprise during a particular period.  The main aim to prepare the statement is to identify and 
analyze the causes of differences between cash amount in the beginning and ending balance 
sheet. It provides the answer of three questions, such as:
 Where did the cash come from during the period?
 What was the cash used for during the period?
 What was the change in the cash balance during the period?

 Basis for comparison

Every item reported in a financial statement has significance. It is necessary to compare each item of 

Page 3 of 16
financial statement with other financial statement data. Comparisons can be made on a number of different 
bases. Such as:
1) Intra­company basis:  This basis compares  an   items  or   financial  relationship   within   a 
company in the current year with the same item or relationship in one or more prior years.
2) Industry   averages:  It   compares   an   item   or   financial   relationship   of   a   company   with 
industry averages published by financial rating organizations.
3) Inter­company   basis:  This   basis   compares   an   item   or   financial   relationship   of   one 
company with the same item or relationship in one or more competing companies.
(4) Ideal  Ratio:  The calculated ratios may be compared with ideal ratios. Experts have laid 
down some standard ratios after making numerous experiments in various companies and 
at various places. 
 Some tips for FSS analysis

 Financial Spread Sheet (FSS) is a technique that helps to analyze financial statements.

 It is a customized excel program.

 There are two types of sheet; input sheet and output sheet.

 Two input sheet: one for balance sheet and other for income statement.

 Input sheet should be filled up from traditional financial statements.

 Recent year data should be presented in the most right­hand column.

 Four output sheets (B/S, I/S, Ratio and CFS) will be generated automatically. 

 Prepaid expense should be treated as non­current asset.

 Fixed assets should be presented at cost price.

 Accumulated depreciation should be deducted from cost price of fixed assets.

 The following assets (if any) should be excluded from assets and will be deducted the 
same amount from retained earnings:

 All intangible assets: Goodwill, patent, trademark, copyright, etc.

 Fictitious assets: P/L A/c debit balance or accumulated loss

 Deferred revenue expense: Preliminary expense, pre­operative cost, etc.

 The current maturity portion of long term debt (CMLTD) should be included in current 
liabilities.  

Page 4 of 16
 Subordinated loan for directors will be presented under equity.

 Total depreciation should be presented separately and should not be included in COGS, 
administrative or selling expenses.  

 To get a complete output we are to insert three years data. 

Page 5 of 16
 Fundamental classification of Ratio

According to Financial Spread Sheet (FSS) there are six types of ratios, which are as follows:

1. Growth Ratio: Growth ratios measure the company’s potentiality, performance. It also measures 

whether the company will survive. Example of growth ratios are sales growth, assets growth etc. 
2. Profitability Ratio: Profitability indicates the efficiency of the unit in generating surplus. In order to 

have a ratio, we can compare profit to the factors which regulate the quantum of profit directly, like 
sales and the total assets or equity. Profitability ratios measure the income or operating success of 
an enterprise for a given period of time e.g., gross profit margin, operating profit margin etc.
3. Coverage Ratio: These ratios measure the ability of a company to generate cash to pay interest 

and principal repayments e.g., interest coverage ratio.
4. Activity Ratio: It has been widely accepted that the profitability of an enterprise to a large extent 

depends on its efficient asset utilization or activity performed. Activity ratios measure how efficiently 
the   assets   are   employed   by   the   firm.   These   ratios   are   also   called   efficiency   ratios   or   asset 
management ratios. For examples, inventory turnover, total assets turnover etc.
5. Liquidity Ratio: The liquidity or short­term solvency of an organization can be measured with the 

help of current ratio and quick ratio. Liquidity implies to the ability of an organization to pay off its 
short­term obligations with the current assets.
6. Leverage Ratio: Ratios, which measures the extent to which a firm has been financed by debt. It is 

also known as debt management ratios. Examples of leverage ratios are debt ratio, etc.

Reconciling Bank Statement 

Because the bank and the depositor maintain independent records of the depositor’s checking account, 
we might assume that the respective balances will always agree. In fact, the two balances are seldom 
the same at any given time, and it is necessary to make the balance per books agree with the balance 
per bank. This process is known as reconciling the bank account and a bank reconciliation statement is 
prepared for this purpose. The lack of agreement between the two balances is due to:

1. Time lags that prevent one of the parties from recording the transaction in the same period.
2. Errors by either party in recording transactions.

Steps in the Reconciliation Procedure 

To   obtain   maximum  benefit   from  bank  reconciliation,  the   reconciliation   should   be   prepared   by an 
employee who has no other responsibilities pertaining to cash. In reconciling the bank account, it is 
customary to reconcile the balance per books and balance per bank to their adjusted cash balances. 
The following steps should reveal all the reconciling items that cause the difference between the two 
balances.

1. Determine deposits in transit and are added to the balance per bank.

2. Determine outstanding checks and are deducted from the balance per bank.

3. Trace bank debit memoranda and are deduct from the balance per book.

4. Trace bank credit memoranda and are added to the balance per book.

5. Any error identified should be adjusted with balance as per bank or book.  

Exercise 1  

The bank statement for the Laird Company shows a balance per bank of $ 15,907.45 on April 30, 2005. 
On this date the balance of cash per books is $ 11,589.45. From the forgoing steps, the following 
reconciling items are determined.
1. Deposit in transit: April 30 deposit (received by bank on May 1) $ 2,201.40

2. Outstanding checks: No. 453 $ 3,000; No. 457 $ 1,401.30; No. 460 $ 1502.70

Page 1 of 9
3. Errors: Check No. 443 was correctly written by Laird for $ 1,226.00 and 
was correctly paid by the bank. However, it was recorded for $ 1,262.00 by Laird Company.

4. Bank memoranda: 
Debit –NSF check from J. R. Baron $ 425.60

Debit –Printing company checks charge  $ 30.00

Credit –Collection of note receivable for $ 1,000.00 
plus interest earned $ 50,less bank collection fee  $ 1,035 

Instruction
(a) Prepare a Bank Reconciliation Statement
(b) Make the necessary journal entries

for recognition and measurement of items in their financial statements. Therefore, for better
understanding of the users of accounting information, banks should disclose the accounting
policies that are followed for preparing financial statements. Banks should disclose the policy
regarding the recognition of the principal types of income; policy regarding the valuation of
investment and dealing securities; the distinction between those transactions and other events
that result in the recognition of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and those
transactions and other events that only give rise to contingencies and commitments; the basis
for the determination of losses on loans and advances and for writing off uncollectable loans
and advances; the basis for the determination of charges for general banking risks and the
accounting treatment of such charges.

As per Paragraph 9, income and expenses should be presented in the income statement as
grouped by nature and principal types of income and expenses and should be disclosed
separately. It is no longer required to group the assets and liabilities as currents and non-
currents (Paragraph 20). According to Paragraph 23, bank should not offset any asset or
liability with other liability or asset unless a legal right of set-off exists and the offsetting
represents the expectation as to the realization or settlement of the asset or liability. It is
mentioned in the Paragraph 24 that a bank should disclose the fair values of each class of its
financial assets and liabilities. Financial assets should be presented by classification as loans
and receivables originated by the enterprise, held to maturity investments, held for trading,
and available-for-sale (Paragraph 25). According to Paragraph 26, Bank should disclose the
amount and nature of contingent liabilities and commitments. It is mentioned in the
Paragraph 30 that a bank shall disclose an analysis of assets and liabilities into relevant
groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity
date.
Paragraph 33 has provided the maturity grouping of assets and liabilities as: up to 1 month,
from 1 month to 3 months, from 3 months to 1 year, from 1 year to 5 years and from 5 years
and above. Paragraph 34 states that in the maturity grouping, maturity period of assets and
liabilities should be same. As mention in the Paragraph 35, maturity could be expressed in
terms of the remaining period to the repayment date, the original period to the repayment
date, or the remaining period to the next date at which interest rates may be changed. A bank
should disclose an analysis expressed in terms of contractual maturities (Paragraph 36) and if
there is no contractual maturity date, bank should assume the expected date on which the
assets will be realized (Paragraph 37). Paragraph 39 prescribes that management may
provide, in its commentary on the financial statements, information about the effective
periods and about the way in manages and controls the risks and exposures associated with
different maturity and interest rate profiles.

 Major Disclosure Provisions under IFRS 7 (BFES 7)

IASB issued IFRS 7 in August 2005 that supersedes IAS 30 (IFRS 7). In Bangladesh, ICAB
adopted it as BFRS 7 and made it effective from on or after January 1, 2010. Bangladesh
Bank did not issue any circular requiring compliance with BFRS 7. Therefore, it is
mandatory for listed banking companies to comply with BFRS 7 but not mandatory for all
schedule banks. Now banks are using different techniques for measuring and managing
exposure to risks arising from financial instruments. The users of financial statements need
information about an entity’s exposure to risks and how those risks are managed (IFRS 7).
For ensuring greater transparency regarding risks this standard was issued.
BFRS 7 requires disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to
risks arising from financial instruments, including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.
Management’s objectives, policies and processes for managing the risks should be disclosed
qualitatively. The quantitative disclosures include information about the extent to which the
entity is exposed to risks (IFRS 7).
