IAS 2 – Inventories
Inventories are valued at lower of cost and NRV (Net Realizable Value).
You are more likely to be tested on IAS 2 alongside other accounting standards. For example, how it
interacts with the Conceptual Framework, changes in accounting policies, prior period errors etc. You
may also see questions based on ethical scenarios.
Cost
Definition of Intangible Asset: An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical
substance.
Separable (Capable of being separated and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged,
either individually or as part of a package)
It arises from contractual or other legal rights, regardless of whether those rights are
transferable or separable from the entity or from other rights and obligations
Recognition Principle: An intangible asset can be recognized in Financial Statements if and only if:
Measurement Principle:
Initial Measurement: Where an intangible asset meets the recognition criteria, it should be measured
initially at cost plus directly attributable costs.
The revaluation model can only be adopted if FV can be determined by reference to an active market. An
active market is a market in which:
The nature of most intangible assets means that they are not homogenous. Markets of identical items
will only exist for assets such as some licences or quotas.
Financial Instruments

Wiggins raised finance by issuing $20,000 6% four-year loan notes on 1 January 20x4. The loan notes
were issued at a discount of 10% and will be redeemed after 4 years at a premium of $1015. The
effective rate of interest is 12%. The issue costs were $1000.
Adjusting events provide further evidence of conditions that existed at the reporting date, and result in
adjustment to the financial statements.
Non-adjusting events are indicative of a condition that arose after the end of the reporting period and do
not result in adjustment to the financial statements. They should be disclosed if of such importance that
non-disclosure would affect the ability of the users to make proper evaluations and decisions.
Where events after the reporting period indicate that the going concern assumption is not appropriate,
these are adjusting events.
