➢ A complete set of financial statements (FSs) includes the following, the ones you would
see in an annual report:
➢ disclosure notes
So, why do we need to prepare these FSs? It is meant to help the stakeholders also known as
users with useful information about the financial position, financial performance and cash flows
of an entity, which helps them make economic decisions
Information about the financial position is derived from the statement of financial position and
financial performance as to whether the entity reported a profit or loss is gauged from the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Let’s take a look at the requirement of IAS 1. The following are the general features of financial
statements,
The financial statements must "present fairly" the financial position, financial performance and
cash flows of an entity. (faithful representation of the effects of transactions-in accordance with
the definitions and recognition criteria for assets, liabilities, income and expenses set out in
the Framework. Otherwise, you can’t claim compliance.
Going concern
IAS 1 states that entity should prepare the financial statements with the underlying
(basic) assumption that the entity is on a going concern and will continue in
operation for the foreseeable future. Meaning, no intention of liquidation. So, assets
are usually measured at cost unless entity is allowed to measure at fair value under the relevant
IFRS.
Towards the end of the reporting period of an entity, the accountant will have to assess whether
the continuity of the business is affected by events before, at or after reporting period, as to
whether going concern is still appropriate. Natural disaster and even the pandemic has
undeniably had an impact on the financial reporting
But how do we go about preparing the financial statements if the entity is no longer on a going
concern. It is not addressed in IAS 1 but left to the relevant accounting standards.
Sometime during the pandemic, ACCA SBR examining team has published an article which
suggests that “If going concern is at issue consider preparation of financial statement on net
realizable basis/net settlement value”
Alternatively, entity can resort to “break-up basis” of accounting for preparation of its financial
statements when it is not expected to continue as a going concern. Well, It is not defined in IFRS,
but it is allowed in some jurisdictions.
So when you are applying 'break-up' basis of accounting the objective of the financial
statement is no longer to show the financial performance as in the going concern basis.
➢ Whether the company has sufficient assets to cover its liabilities, and
➢ If after all liabilities are settled, there will be some surplus or something left to distribute to
shareholders.
Nevertheless, the financial statement in fact will be still look the same, except for the values of
assets and liabilities.

IAS 1 requires that an entity prepare its financial statements using the accrual basis of
accounting, except for cash flow information. Accrual accounting follows the matching
principal, when revenues are earned and expenses should be recorded in the in the period in
which they are incurred.
Depreciation is an example of this, where items of PPE (and Investment property under the
cost model) reduces each year, mainly due to wear and tear.
Consistency of presentation:
The consistency principle states that, once you adopt an accounting principle or
method, continue to follow it consistently in future accounting periods.
The presentation and classification of items in the financial statements shall be retained from one
period to the next unless a change is justified either by a change in circumstances in providing a
more relevant and reliable financial information or a requirement of a new/ revised IFRS..
Each material class of similar items must be presented separately in the financial statements.
Dissimilar items may be aggregated only if they are individually immaterial.
Offsetting: Assets and liabilities, and income and expenses, should not be offset unless required
or permitted by an IFRS.

Reporting period
There is a presumption that financial statements will be prepared at least annually. If the annual
reporting period changes and financial statements are prepared for a different period, the
entity must disclose the reason for the change and state that amounts are not entirely
comparable.

There is misconception that current assets are always realised within 12months. But that’s not
true, it depends on the nature of the business. For instance, an aviation company may take two
or more years in selling of its planes. So, do we classify the planes as part of non current asset?
Not at all. It is still part of current assets because it is part of the entity’s normal operating cycle.
➢ cash and cash equivalents (without restriction, otherwise it will not qualify as cash and
cash equivalent).
All other assets are considered as non-current, examples include property plant and equipment,
intangible assets, investment properties, etc.
Then again, some of these non-current assets could be reclassified as current assets. Hmmm,
when would that be possible? When entity decides to sell of an office building for instance and
for some reason the sale is delayed, then it would no longer be classified as part of non current
asset..

What if entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months
after the reporting period :
For example, long term loans covenants are generally linked to maintain a certain profit, gearing
or liquidity level. In that case, the bank would demand for immediate repayment if the loan
covenants have been breached.
IAS 1 adds on that when entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement beyond
12 months, then it is current liability (settlement by the issue of equity instruments does not
impact classification).
If entity does have the right to defer, then the liability is non-current.
If entity does not have an unconditional right to defer, then the liability is current.
Current liabilities
Loan
Non current: When a long-term debt is expected to be refinanced under an existing loan facility,
and the entity has the discretion to do so (even if the liability would otherwise be due within 12
months). Then it is classified as non-current liability.
Well, it can be quite confusing, but you must remember one thing, IAS 1 refers to
unconditional right and not conditional right, and that would help you with the correct
classification.
On the other hand, if a liability has become payable on demand because an entity has
breached a long-term loan agreement on or before the reporting date. Then it is classified as
current liability, even if lender has agreed, after the reporting date and before the financial
statement authorisation date, not to demand payment as a consequence of the breach. This is
because, it is treated as non-adjusting event as per IAS 10 Events after reporting date. So, all you
need to do is provide disclosure.
However, if the lender agreed by the reporting date to provide a period of grace ending at least
12 months after the end of the reporting period(no demand of immediate repayment by
lender. So, there is no need for a change in classification of the loan from non-current to current.
EXAM TIPS
Format: IAS 1 does not prescribe the format of the statement of financial position. Assets can be
presented current then non-current, or vice versa, and liabilities and equity can be presented
current then non-current then equity, or vice versa.
Do, take a look at the format as its relevant for your exam as you are expected to know how to
prepare one.

EXAMPLE 1 This example is based upon implementation guidance provided with IFRS5. Consider each of the following situations: (source:
International Financial Reporting, Alan Melville)
(a) Company A is committed to a plan to sell its headquarters building and has initiated a an active programme to find a buyer and complete the
plan. The building is being marketed at a reasonable price and a completed sale is expected within 12 months. It is unlikely that this plan will
change significantly. The company will not actually vacate the building until a buyer is found but then the time taken to vacate the building will
not exceed what is regarded as usual and customary for such buildings.
(b) Company B is also committed to a plan to sell its headquarters building and is in precisely the same situation as Company A except that it will
not vacate the building and transfer it to a buyer until a new headquarters building has been constructed.
(c) Company C is committed to a plan to sell a factory and has initiated actions to find a buyer. However, there is currently a backlog of
uncompleted orders and the company does not intend to transfer the factory to a buyer until it has dealt with this backlog.
(d) Company D is also committed to a plan to sell a factory and is in precisely the same situation as Company C except that the backlog of orders
will be transferred to the buyer of the building along with the building itself. Therefore the existence of this backlog will not delay the sale.
(e) Company E is committed to a plan to sell a disposal group. All of the criteria which must normally be met in order for a disposal group to be
classified as held for sale are satisfied except that the sale is not expected to take place within one year. It is highly probable that a buyer will be
found within that time but the sale will then require Government approval. The approval process is a lengthy one and cannot begin until a buyer
has been found. Therefore completion of the sale is unlikely to occur within 12 months. In each case, determine whether or not the asset or
disposal group in question should be classified as held for sale.

Multi-period excess earnings method is acknowledged by IFRS 13 as a method to measure the fair value of an intangible asset. It is because that valuation technique specifically takes into account
the contribution of any complementary assets and the associated liabilities in the group in which such an intangible asset would be used. Some indirect references to this method are also made in
basis for conclusions to IFRS 3, where it is described as a valuation technique where ‘a contributory asset charge is required to isolate the cash flows generated by the intangible asset being valued
from the contribution to those cash flows made by other assets.
The contributory asset charges are described as hypothetical ‘rental’ charges for the use of those other contributing assets’. Multi-period excess earnings method is usually used for measurement of
intangible assets that are not readily obtainable by other entities (e.g. customer base).
