GOING CONCERN
▪ Financial Statement Preparation: SRF Ltd. Would prepare their financial
statements, such as the balance sheet and income statement, assuming that the
company will continue its operations for the foreseeable future. This means that
assets and liabilities are recorded with the expectation that they will be realized
and settled in the normal course of business

commitments in light of the going concern assumption. For example, if they have
long-term loans or investments in subsidiaries, they would assess whether they
have the ability to meet these obligations as they come due
▪ Inventory Valuation: The valuation of inventory would be done considering
its expected sale or use in the ordinary course of business. Obsolete or
slow-moving inventory might be written down or adjusted accordingly

▪ Debt Covenants: If SRF Ltd. Has debt agreements with lenders, they would
assess their ability to meet debt covenants and interest payments in the
future. This is essential for ensuring compliance with loan agreements

to evaluate whether they have sufficient liquidity to meet their short-term
obligations and continue operations

accompanying the financial statements. These notes explain accounting policies,
significant accounting estimates, and additional information about specific items in

period but before the financial statements are issued are disclosed if they could
have a material impact on the company’s financial position or performance

individual business segments should be reported separately in financial

Ltd., such as the income statement and balance sheet, are presented on an accrual
basis to provide a more accurate picture of the company’s financial performance

lower of cost or market value. This ensures that the balance sheet accurately
reflects the value of the inventory on hand
▪ Depreciation: The company recognizes depreciation expenses over the useful life
of their assets, even though the cash outlay for the asset may have occurred in a
previous period. This reflects the allocation of the asset’s cost over time

▪ Accrued Liabilities: SRF Ltd. Accounts for accrued liabilities, such as unpaid
salaries or accrued interest on loans, to ensure that expenses are matched with the
periods in which they are incurred
CONSISTENCY
▪ Audit Process: During the audit process, auditors review the company’s adherence
to consistent accounting policies and may provide recommendations or identify
any departures from these policies

▪ Internal Controls: The company establishes internal controls to ensure that


accounting policies are consistently applied across various departments and
subsidiaries, reducing the risk of errors and discrepancies

▪ Consistency with Industry Standards: SRF Ltd. Aligns its accounting practices with
industry standards and regulatory requirements to ensure consistency not only
within the company but also within the industry
▪ Changes in Accounting Policies: If SRF Ltd. Decides to change an accounting
policy, they are required to disclose the change and provide a justification for it.
