Section 3
Financial Statement Presentation

2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 3 scope

Section 3 explains
fair presentation of financial statements
what compliance with the IFRS for SMEs
requires
what is a complete set of financial
statements

2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 3 fair presentation

Fair presentation is 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
The application of the IFRS for SMEs
(with additional disclosure when
necessary) is presumed to result in a fair
presentation of the financial position,
financial performance & cash flows of an
entity that is not publicly accountable
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 3 compliance

10

An entity whose financial statements


comply with the IFRS for SMEs must
make an explicit and unreserved
statement of such compliance in the
notes
Financial statements shall not be
described as complying with the IFRS for
SMEs unless they comply with all the
requirements of the IFRS for SMEs
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 3 compliance statement

11

Ex 1*: An entity prepares its consolidated


financial statements for the year ended
31 December 20X2 in accordance with the
IFRS for SMEs.
Note 2 Basis of preparation and accounting
policies
These consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the
International Financial Reporting Standard
(IFRS) for Small and Medium-sized Entities
issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board.
* see example 1 in Module 3 of the IFRS Foundation training material
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 3 compliance statement?

12

Can either of the following entities assert


compliance with the IFRS for SMEs?
Ex 5*: A has public accountability. It uses
the IFRS for SMEs.
Ex 6*: B does not have public
accountability. It uses local GAAP.
The local GAAP is based mainly on the
IFRS for SMEs but has some material
differences.
* see example with the same number in Module 3 of the IFRS Foundation training material
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 3 going concern

13

An entity is a going concern unless


management either intends to liquidate
the entity or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so
When preparing financial statements, the
management of an entity must make an
assessment of the entitys ability to
continue as a going concern
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 3 going concern disclosures

14

Disclose material uncertainties related to


events or conditions that cast significant
doubt upon the entitys ability to
continue as a going concern
If financial statements are not prepared
on a going concern basis disclose:
that fact
the basis of preparation
the reason why the entity is not regarded
as a going concern
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 3 consistency of presentation 15


Same presentation and classification each
year unless:
significant change in the nature of the
entitys operations or review of
presentation and find another presentation
or classification more appropriate (ie
reliable and more relevant), or
the IFRS for SMEs requires a change in
presentation.
If change, restate comparatives and
disclose (nature, amount and reason)
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 3 comparative information

16

Disclose
1 years comparative amounts
comparative information for narrative and
descriptive information when relevant to
understanding current periods financial
statements

2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 3 materiality and aggregation 17


Material if could, individually or collectively,
influence economic decisions of users
depends on size and nature of the omission
or misstatement
judged in the surrounding circumstances
Present separately
each material class of similar items
items of a dissimilar nature or function
unless they are immaterial
Materiality threshold is lower for notes
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 3 materiality decisions


18
Is the error material?
Ex 13*: Before its 20X8 FS approved for
issue discovered depreciation expense
for 20X8 overstated by CU150. Ignored
the error (reported profit for 20X8 at
CU600,000, ie understated by CU150).
Ex 15*: Same as Ex 13, except had the
error been corrected the entity would
have breached a borrowing covenant on
a significant longterm liability.
* see example with the same number in Module 3 of the IFRS Foundation training material

of items presented in statements and
information about items that do not
qualify for recognition.
Section 8 sets out the principles for
presenting note disclosures
Other sections require note disclosures

2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 8 overview of notes

65

Notes are presented systematically and


cross-reference to FS
Notes present information about
basis of presentation
specific accounting policies used
information about judgements and key
sources of estimation uncertainty
Notes disclose
the information required by the IFRS for
SMEs that is not presented elsewhere
other information that is relevant to an
understanding of the FS
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 8 accounting policies

67

Disclose:
measurement bases used
other relevant accounting policies used
information about judgements made in
applying accounting policies that have the
most significant effect on the FS
information about key sources of
estimation uncertainty that have a
significant risk of causing a material
adjustment within 1 year (including their
nature and carrying amount)
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 8 examples of judgements in


applying accounting policies

68

Whether outflow is more likely than not re a


present obligation = recognise a liability?
Whether a lease transfers substantially all
risks and rewards of ownership = finance
or operating lease?
When risks and rewards transfer for goods
sold = when to recognise revenue?
Whether arrangement = sales of goods or
financing?
Whether controls exists = whether to
consolidate?
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 8 judgement in applying


AP

69

Ex 3* lease classification
In 20X3 A entered into an agreement (as lessee) for the use
of an executive jet. It is not clear whether the lease transfers
substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership. However, management judge the lease to be an
operating lease and therefore the lease is accounted for as
an executory contract. Had the lease been judged to be a
finance lease, the entity would have recognised the leased
asset and a corresponding lease liability and it would have
apportioned lease payments between finance costs and the
repayment of the liability. It would also have depreciated the
leased asset over its useful life. The entitys commitment to
make future noncancellable lease payments for the use of
the jet is set out in note 40.

Section 8 key measurement


70
assumptions
Ex 4* Fair value of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities that are not
basic financial instruments (see note 12) are carried
at their fair value, with changes in fair value
recorded in profit or loss. When no active market
exists, or when quoted prices are not otherwise
available, judgement is required in determining fair
value.
In these circumstances, fair value is determined
using a variety of valuation techniques including
present value methods, models based on
observable input parameters, and models where
some of the input parameters are unobservable.

* see example 4 in Module 8 of the IFRS Foundation training material


2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 8 key measurement


assumptions

71

Ex 4 continued:
Valuation models are used primarily to value
derivatives transacted in the overthecounter
market, including credit derivatives and unlisted
securities with embedded derivatives. All valuation
models are validated before they are used, and
periodically reviewed thereafter, by independent
qualified financial instrument valuation experts.
Wherever possible, valuations derived from models
are compared with quoted prices of similar financial
instruments, and with actual values when realised,
in order to further validate and calibrate our models.
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 8 key measurement


assumptions

72

Ex 4 continued:
Our models incorporate information about the actual
or estimated market prices and rates, time value,
volatility, market depth and liquidity among others.
When available, we use market observable prices and
rates derived from market verifiable data. When such
factors are not market observable, changes in
assumptions could affect the reported fair value of
financial instruments. The models are applied from
one period to the next. However, estimating fair value
inherently involves a significant degree of judgement.
Management therefore establishes valuation
adjustments to cover the risks associated with the
estimation of unobservable input parameters and the
assumptions within the models themselves.
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 8 key measurement


assumptions

73

Ex 4 continued:
Valuation adjustments are also made to reflect such
elements as aged positions, deteriorating creditworthiness
(including country-specific risks), concentrations in specific
types of instruments and market risk factors (interest rates,
currencies etc), and market depth and liquidity. Although a
significant degree of judgement is, in some cases, required
in establishing fair values, management believes the fair
values recorded in the statement of financial position and the
changes in fair values recorded in the statement of
comprehensive income are reflective of the underlying
economics, based on the controls and procedural
safeguards employed.
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 8 key measurement


assumptions

74

Ex 4 continued:
Nevertheless, management have estimated the
effect that a change in assumptions to reasonably
possible alternatives could have on fair values
where model inputs are not market observable. For
all financial instruments carried at fair value which
rely on assumptions for their valuation, we estimate
that fair value could lie in a range from CU500,000
lower to CU500,000 higher than the fair values of
CU2,000,000 (see note 12) recognised in the
financial statements.

Ex 5*: A received a grant of CU50,000
from a nongovernment development
agency to set up farming operations in a
specified rural area.
IFRS for SMEs does not specify how to account for
a grant from a nongovernment agency.
However, it specifies how to account for
government grants (Section 24 Government
Grants).

Section 30
Foreign Currency Translation

2011 IFRS Foundation

93
Section 30 background
An entity can have transactions in foreign
currencies and it can have foreign
operations.
It may also present its FS in a foreign
currency.
Accounting for financial instruments
denominated in a foreign currency and
hedge accounting of foreign currency items
are dealt with in Sections 11 and 12 (session
on PM day-2 of this workshop).

2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 30 scope

94

Section 30 prescribes how to:


determine an entitys functional currency
measure foreign currency transactions
include foreign operations in FS (see
session on PM day-3 of this workshop)
translate FS into a presentation currency
(see session on PM day-3 of this workshop).
It also specifies disclosures.
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 30 functional currency

95

Each entity identifies its functional


currencythe currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity
operates (ie normally the one in which it
primarily generates and expends cash)
A foreign currency transaction is a
transaction that is denominated or requires
settlement in a foreign currency (ie a
currency other than the entitys functional
currency)
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 30 determine functional currency96


Most important factors to consider when
determining an entitys functional currency:
the currency:
that mainly influences sales prices (often the
currency in which its sales are denominated
and settled), and
of the country whose competitive forces and
regulations mainly determine its sales prices.
the currency that mainly influences labour,
material & other costs of providing goods or
services (this will often be the currency in
which such costs are denominated and
settled).
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 30 disclose functional


97
currency
Disclose currency in which financial
statements are presented
If presentation currency is not functional
currency disclose:

When functional currency of entity or a
significant operation changes disclose:
that fact
reason for the change
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 30 change functional


98

Initial recognition
measure a foreign currency transaction in
the functional currency using the spot
exchange rate on the date when the
transaction first qualifies for recognition

2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 30 examples initial recognition 100


Ex 1: As functional currency is CU.
On 1/12/20X1 A buys goods on credit for
FCU100,000 (FCU denominated) when
spot currency exchange rate =
FCU1:CU2.
On 1/12/20X1 A recognises inventories and
trade payables of CU200,000.
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 30 examples initial recognition 101


Ex 2: As functional currency is CU.
On 1/12/20X1 A buys an investment
property for FCU100,000 when the spot
currency exchange rate = FCU1:CU2 (ie A
pays CU200,000).
A accounts for the investment property at
its fair value.
On 1/12/20X1 A recognises its investment
property at CU200,000.
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 30 subsequent measurement

102

At the end of each reporting period


translate foreign currency monetary items
using the closing rate;
translate non-monetary items that are
measured in terms of historical cost in a
foreign currency using the exchange rate
at the date of the transaction; and
translate non-monetary items that are
measured at fair value in a foreign
currency using the exchange rates at the
date when the fair value was determined.
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 30 translation gains and losses

103

Monetary items
recognise, in profit or loss when the
exchange differences arise (ie on settlement
or on retranslating (exception see paragraph
30.13).
Non-monetary items
recognise exchange differences (in profit or
loss or OCI) follows classification of the
underlying item.
Disclose

Ex 1 continued: On 31/12/20X1 (As year-end)


the spot currency exchange rate =
FCU1:CU2.1.
On 1/2/20X2 when the spot rate =
FCU1:CU2.05 A pays CU205,000 to settle
the FCU100,000 liability.
At 31/12/20X1 A reports the trade payable at
CU210,000 and recognises loss of CU10,000
in profit or loss.
On 1/2/20X2 A derecognises the FCU100,000
payable and recognises gain of CU5,000.
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 30 subsequent measurement

105

Ex 2 continued: On 31/12/20X1 (As financial


year-end) the fair value of the investment
property = FCU100,000 (ie coincidentally
no change) and the spot currency
exchange rate = FCU1:CU2.1.
At 31/12/20X1 A remeasures the investment
property at CU210,000 and records a gain of
CU10,000 as a change in fair value (rather
than exchange difference) in profit or loss.
2011 IFRS Foundation

Section 30 subsequent measurement 106


Ex 3: Same as Ex 2 except:
A accounts for its investment property
using the cost model (because its fair
value cannot be measured reliably on
an ongoing basis).
At 31/12/20X1 A records the investment
property at CU200,000 (ie no
remeasurement because it is a nonmonetary asset carried at historical cost).
