IAS-8 Accounting policies, changes in estimates and errors

This IAS discusses three items:

(i) Accounting policies


(ii) Change in estimates
(iii) Errors

1. Accounting Policies

When an IFRS specifically applies to a transaction, other event or condition, the accounting policy or
policies applied to that item shall be determined by applying the IFRS.

In the absence of an IFRS that specifically applies to a transaction, other event or condition,
management shall use its judgement in developing and applying an accounting policy that results in
information that is:

(a) relevant to the economic decision-making needs of users; and


(b) reliable, in that the financial statements: (i) represent faithfully (ii) reflect the economic substance
(iii) are neutral, ie free from bias; (iv) are prudent; and (v) are complete in all material respects.

1.1 Consistency of accounting policies

An entity shall select and apply its accounting policies consistently for similar transactions,
other events and conditions, unless an IFRS specifically requires or permits categorisation of
items for which different policies may be appropriate. If an IFRS requires or permits such
categorisation, an appropriate accounting policy shall be selected and applied consistently to
each category.

1.2 Changes in accounting policies

An entity shall change an accounting policy only if the change:

(a) is required by an IFRS; or


(b) results in the financial statements providing reliable and more relevant information.

1.3 The following are not changes in accounting policies

(a) the application of an accounting policy for transactions, other events or conditions
that differ in substance from those previously occurring; and
(b) the application of a new accounting policy for transactions, other events or conditions
that did not occur previously or were immaterial.

The initial application of a policy to revalue assets in accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant
and Equipment or IAS 38 Intangible Assets is a change in an accounting policy to be dealt
with as a revaluation in accordance with IAS 16 or IAS 38, rather than in accordance with
this Standard. (i.e: prospective application)

1.4 Applying changes in accounting policies

CAF-7 Financial accounting and reporting II 176 Anjum Maqsood - ACA


Chapter - 9 IAS-8 Accounting policies, change in estimates and errors

(a) an entity shall account for a change in accounting policy resulting from the initial
application of an IFRS in accordance with the specific transitional provisions, if any, in that
IFRS; and
(b) when an entity changes an accounting policy upon initial application of an IFRS that does
not include specific transitional provisions applying to that change, or changes an accounting
policy voluntarily, it shall apply the change retrospectively.

1.5 What is retrospective application

Retrospective application is applying a new accounting policy to transactions, other events


and conditions as if that policy had always been applied.

The entity shall adjust the opening balance of each affected component of equity for the
earliest prior period presented and the other comparative amounts disclosed for each prior
period presented as if the new accounting policy had always been applied.

1.6 Limitations on retrospective application

When retrospective application is required, a change in accounting policy shall be applied


retrospectively except to the extent that it is impracticable to determine either the period-
specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change.

When an entity applies a new accounting policy retrospectively, it applies the new
accounting policy to comparative information for prior periods as far back as is practicable.

1.7 Disclosures

When a voluntary change in accounting policy has an effect on the current period or any
prior period, would have an effect on that period except that it is impracticable to determine
the amount of the adjustment, or might have an effect on future periods, an entity shall
disclose:

(a) the nature of the change in accounting policy;


(b) the reasons why applying the new accounting policy provides reliable and more relevant
information;
(c) for the current period and each prior period presented, to the extent practicable, the
amount of the adjustment:
(d) the amount of the adjustment relating to periods before those presented, to the extent
practicable; and
(e) Limitation on retrospective application, if any, and circumstance which led to limitation
and date from when change in accounting policy has been applied.

2. Changes in accounting estimates


As a result of the uncertainties inherent in business activities, many items in financial
statements cannot be measured with precision but can only be estimated. Estimation
involves judgements based on the latest available, reliable information. For example,
estimates may be required of:

(a) bad debts;


(b) inventory obsolescence;
(c) the fair value of financial assets or financial liabilities;
(d) the useful lives of, or expected pattern of consumption of the future economic
benefits embodied in, depreciable assets; and

CAF-7 Financial accounting and reporting II 177 Anjum Maqsood - ACA


Chapter - 9 IAS-8 Accounting policies, change in estimates and errors

(e) warranty obligations.

2.1 Effect of change in estimate

The effect of a change in an accounting estimate shall be recognised prospectively by


including it in profit or loss in:

(a) the period of the change, if the change affects that period only; or
(b) the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.

2.2 Disclosure

An entity shall disclose the nature and amount of a change in an accounting estimate that
has an effect in the current period or is expected to have an effect in future periods, except
for the disclosure of the effect on future periods when it is impracticable to estimate that
effect.

If the amount of the effect in future periods is not disclosed because estimating it is
impracticable, an entity shall disclose that fact.

3. Errors
An entity shall correct material prior period errors retrospectively in the first set of financial
statements authorized for issue after their discovery by:

(a) restating the comparative amounts for the prior period(s) presented in which the error
occurred; or

(b) if the error occurred before the earliest prior period presented, restating the opening
balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest prior period presented.

3.1 Limitations on retrospective restatement

A prior period error shall be corrected by retrospective restatement except to the extent that
it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of
the error.

When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an error on comparative


information for one or more prior periods presented, the entity shall restate the opening
balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest period for which retrospective
restatement is practicable (which may be the current period).

Corrections of errors are distinguished from changes in accounting estimates. Accounting


estimates by their nature are approximations that may need revision as additional
information becomes known. For example, the gain or loss recognised on the outcome of a
contingency is not the correction of an error.

3.2 Disclosure of prior period errors

An entity shall disclose the following:

(a) the nature of the prior period error;


(b) for each prior period presented, to the extent practicable, the amount of the
correction:

CAF-7 Financial accounting and reporting II 178 Anjum Maqsood - ACA


Chapter - 9 IAS-8 Accounting policies, change in estimates and errors

(c) the amount of the correction at the beginning of the earliest prior period presented;
and
(d) if retrospective restatement is impracticable for a particular prior period, the
circumstances that led to the existence of that condition and a description of how and
from when the error has been corrected.

Zahid has discovered that on July 1, 2011 DFL sold a machine to a bank for Rs. 20 million
and leased it back for its remaining life of 8 years. A gain on disposal of Rs. 4 million was
recognized immediately on disposal. Subsequently lease payments were accounted for as
operating lease. Relevant details are as follows:

- Rs. 3.749 million Payable annually in advance


- Rs. 2 million payable in respect of bargain purchase option at end of lease term
- Implicit rate on lease was 15%.

Kashif, senior manager accounts, who is also a chartered accountant, is asking Zahid to
ignore this matter. Although Kashif admits his mistake as he was not updated with
accounting standards, but he emphasizes to conceal this issue as it may affect his reputation
before top management. Furthermore Zahid’s job confirmation depends upon Kashif’s
recommendation.

Required:

(a) Prepare revised extracts of financial statements after correction of above error.
(b) Prepare a note on lease obligation for inclusion in financial statements (comparative
figures not required).
(c) Discuss the ethical issues involved in above situation and what actions are available
for Zahid.

Disclosures:

(a) Method of valuation of cost of inventories has been changed from LIFO to FIFO for
better presentation of inventories.
(b) As a result of change in policy, the closing stock recorded for the years 2004 and
2003 has resulted in understatement of Rs. 25,000 and Rs. 35,000 respectively.
Therefore by increasing the stocks, the cost of goods sold for the current year has
been increased by Rs. 10,000 and for the last year has been decreased by Rs.
35,000.
(c) Comparative information has been restated.

There were two errors in the schedule i.e. mark up paid on lease of vehicles were capitalized
and the method followed for charging depreciation in 2003 was straight line method instead
