IFRS 8 International Financial Reporting Standard 8Operating SegmentsIAS 14 Segment Reporting was issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee in August 1997. It replaced IAS 14 Reporting Financial Information by S egment (issued in August 1981 and reformatted in 1994).In April 2001 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) resolved that all Standards and Interpretations issued under previous Constitutions continued to be applicable unless and until they were amended or withdrawn.IAS 14 was subsequently amended by the following pronouncements:•IAS2Inventories (issued December 2003)•IAS8Accounting Policies, Changes in Estimates and Errors (issued December 2003)•IAS16Property, Plant and Equipment (issued December 2003)•IFRS3Business Combinations (issued March 2004)•IFRS5Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (issued March 2004)•IFRS7Financial Instruments: Disclosures (issued August 2005).In November 2006 the IASB issued IFRS 8 Operating Segments, which replaced IAS 14.© IASCF713IFRS 8714© IASCF C ONTENTSparagraphs INTRODUCTIONIN1–IN18INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARD 8OPERATING SEGMENTSCORE PRINCIPLE1SCOPE2–4OPERATING SEGMENTS5–10REPORTABLE SEGMENTS11–19Aggregation criteria12Quantitative thresholds13–19DISCLOSURE20–24General information22Information about profit or loss, assets and liabilities23–24MEASUREMENT25–30Reconciliations28Restatement of previously reported information29–30ENTITY-WIDE DISCLOSURES31–34Information about products and services32Information about geographical areas33Information about major customers34TRANSITION AND EFFECTIVE DATE35–36WITHDRAWAL OF IAS 1437APPENDICESA Defined termB Amendments to other IFRSsAPPROVAL OF IFRS 8 BY THE BOARDBASIS FOR CONCLUSIONSIMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCEIFRS 8 International Financial Reporting Standard 8 Operating S egments (IFRS 8) is set out in paragraphs 1–37 and Appendices A and B.

In pursuit of that objective, the Board and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the United States have undertaken a joint short-term project with the objective of reducing differences between International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) that are capable of resolution in a relatively short time and can be addressed outside major projects.One aspect of that project involves the two boards considering each other’s recent standards with a view to adopting high quality financial reporting solutions.The IFRS arises from the IASB’s consideration of FASB Statement No.131 Disclosures about S egments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131) issued in 1997, compared with IAS 14 S egment Reporting, which was issued in substantially its present form by the IASB’s predecessor body, the International Accounting Standards Committee, in 1997.IN3The IFRS achieves convergence with the requirements of SFAS 131, except for minor differences listed in paragraph BC60 of the Basis for Conclusions.The wording of the IFRS is the same as that of SFAS 131 except for changes necessary to make the terminology consistent with that in other IFRSs.Main features of the IFRSIN4The IFRS specifies how an entity should report information about its operating segments in annual financial statements and, as a consequential amendment to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, requires an entity to report selected information about its operating segments in interim financial reports. It also sets out requirements for related disclosures about products and services, geographical areas and major customers.IN5The IFRS requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments. Reportable segments are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the same basis as is used internally for evaluating operating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to operating segments.716© IASCFIFRS 8 IN6The IFRS requires an entity to report a measure of operating segment profit or loss and of segment assets. It also requires an entity to report a measure of segment liabilities and particular income and expense items if such measures are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. It requires reconciliations of total reportable segment revenues, total profit or loss, total assets, liabilities and other amounts disclosed for reportable segments to corresponding amounts in the entity’s financial statements.IN7The IFRS requires an entity to report information about the revenues derived from its products or services (or groups of similar products and services), about the countries in which it earns revenues and holds assets, and about major customers, regardless of whether that information is used by management in making operating decisions. However, the IFRS does not require an entity to report information that is not prepared for internal use if the necessary information is not available and the cost to develop it would be excessive.IN8The IFRS also requires an entity to give descriptive information about the way the operating segments were determined, the products and services provided by the segments, differences between the measurements used in reporting segment information and those used in the entity’s financial statements, and changes in the measurement of segment amounts from period to period.IN9An entity shall apply this IFRS for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. Earlier application is permitted. If an entity applies this IFRS for an earlier period, it shall disclose that fact.Changes from previous requirementsIN10The IFRS replaces IAS 14 S egment Reporting. The main changes from IAS 14 are described below.Identification of segmentsIN11The requirements of the IFRS are based on the information about the components of the entity that management uses to make decisions about operating matters.The IFRS requires identification of operating segments on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and assess its performance. IAS 14 required identification of two sets of segments—one based on related products and services, and the other on geographical areas. IAS 14 regarded one set as primary segments and the other as secondary segments.IN12 A component of an entity that sells primarily or exclusively to other operating segments of the entity is included in the IFRS’s definition of an operating segment if the entity is managed that way. IAS 14 limited reportable segments to those that earn a majority of their revenue from sales to external customers and therefore did not require the different stages of vertically integrated operations to be identified as separate segments.© IASCF717IFRS 8Measurement of segment informationIN13The IFRS requires the amount reported for each operating segment item to be the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance. IAS 14 required segment information to be prepared in conformity with the accounting policies adopted for preparing and presenting the financial statements of the consolidated group or entity.IN14IAS 14 defined segment revenue, segment expense, segment result, segment assets and segment liabilities. The IFRS does not define these terms, but requires an explanation of how segment profit or loss, segment assets and segment liabilities are measured for each reportable segment.DisclosureIN15The IFRS requires an entity to disclose the following information:(a)factors used to identify the entity’s operating segments, including the basisof organisation (for example, whether management organises the entityaround differences in products and services, geographical areas, regulatoryenvironments, or a combination of factors and whether segments havebeen aggregated), and(b)types of products and services from which each reportable segment derivesits revenues.IN16IAS 14 required the entity to disclose specified items of information about its primary segments. The IFRS requires an entity to disclose specified amounts about each reportable segment, if the specified amounts are included in the measure of segment profit or loss and are reviewed by or otherwise regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker.IN17The IFRS requires an entity to report interest revenue separately from interest expense for each reportable segment unless a majority of the segment’s revenues are from interest and the chief operating decision maker relies primarily on net interest revenue to assess the performance of the segment and to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment. IAS 14 did not require disclosure of interest income and expense.IN18The IFRS requires an entity, including an entity with a single reportable segment, to disclose information for the entity as a whole about its products and services, geographical areas, and major customers. This requirement applies, regardless of the entity’s organisation, if the information is not included as part of the disclosures about segments. IAS 14 required the disclosure of secondary segment information for either industry or geographical segments, to supplement the information given for the primary segments.718© IASCFIFRS 8 International Financial Reporting Standard 8Operating SegmentsCore principle1An entity shall disclose information to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and the economic environments in which it operates.Scope2This IFRS shall apply to:(a)the separate or individual financial statements of an entity:(i)whose debt or equity instruments are traded in a public market(a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over-the-counter market,including local and regional markets), or(ii)that files, or is in the process of filing, its financial statements with a securities commission or other regulatory organisation for thepurpose of issuing any class of instruments in a public market; and(b)the consolidated financial statements of a group with a parent:(i)whose debt or equity instruments are traded in a public market(a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over-the-counter market,including local and regional markets), or(ii)that files, or is in the process of filing, the consolidated financial statements with a securities commission or other regulatoryorganisation for the purpose of issuing any class of instruments in apublic market.3If an entity that is not required to apply this IFRS chooses to disclose information about segments that does not comply with this IFRS, it shall not describe the information as segment information.4If a financial report contains both the consolidated financial statements of a parent that is within the scope of this IFRS as well as the parent’s separate financial statements, segment information is required only in the consolidated financial statements.Operating segments5An operating segment is a component of an entity:(a)that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues andincur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactionswith other components of the same entity),© IASCF719IFRS 8(b)whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chiefoperating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocatedto the segment and assess its performance, and(c)for which discrete financial information is available.An operating segment may engage in business activities for which it has yet to earn revenues, for example, start-up operations may be operating segments before earning revenues.6Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment. For example, a corporate headquarters or some functional departments may not earn revenues or may earn revenues that are only incidental to the activities of the entity and would not be operating segments.For the purposes of this IFRS, an entity’s post-employment benefit plans are not operating segments.7The term ‘chief operating decision maker’ identifies a function, not necessarily a manager with a specific title. That function is to allocate resources to and assess the performance of the operating segments of an entity. Often the chief operating decision maker of an entity is its chief executive officer or chief operating officer but, for example, it may be a group of executive directors or others.8For many entities, the three characteristics of operating segments described in paragraph 5 clearly identify its operating segments. However, an entity may produce reports in which its business activities are presented in a variety of ways.If the chief operating decision maker uses more than one set of segment information, other factors may identify a single set of components as constituting an entity’s operating segments, including the nature of the business activities of each component, the existence of managers responsible for them, and information presented to the board of directors.9Generally, an operating segment has a segment manager who is directly accountable to and maintains regular contact with the chief operating decision maker to discuss operating activities, financial results, forecasts, or plans for the segment. The term ‘segment manager’ identifies a function, not necessarily a manager with a specific title. The chief operating decision maker also may be the segment manager for some operating segments. A single manager may be the segment manager for more than one operating segment. If the characteristics in paragraph 5 apply to more than one set of components of an organisation but there is only one set for which segment managers are held responsible, that set of components constitutes the operating segments.10The characteristics in paragraph 5 may apply to two or more overlapping sets of components for which managers are held responsible. That structure is sometimes referred to as a matrix form of organisation. For example, in some entities, some managers are responsible for different product and service lines worldwide, whereas other managers are responsible for specific geographical areas. The chief operating decision maker regularly reviews the operating results of both sets of components, and financial information is available for both.In that situation, the entity shall determine which set of components constitutes the operating segments by reference to the core principle.720© IASCFIFRS 8 Reportable segments11An entity shall report separately information about each operating segment that:(a)has been identified in accordance with paragraphs 5–10 or results fromaggregating two or more of those segments in accordance withparagraph12, and(b)exceeds the quantitative thresholds in paragraph 13.Paragraphs 14–19 specify other situations in which separate information about an operating segment shall be reported.Aggregation criteria12Operating segments often exhibit similar long-term financial performance if they have similar economic characteristics. For example, similar long-term average gross margins for two operating segments would be expected if their economic characteristics were similar. Two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if aggregation is consistent with the core principle of this IFRS, the segments have similar economic characteristics, and the segments are similar in each of the following respects:(a)the nature of the products and services;(b)the nature of the production processes;(c)the type or class of customer for their products and services;(d)the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and(e)if applicable, the nature of the regulatory environment, for example,banking, insurance or public utilities.Quantitative thresholds13An entity shall report separately information about an operating segment that meets any of the following quantitative thresholds:(a)Its reported revenue, including both sales to external customers andintersegment sales or transfers, is 10 per cent or more of the combinedrevenue, internal and external, of all operating segments.(b)The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10 per cent or more ofthe greater, in absolute amount, of (i) the combined reported profit of alloperating segments that did not report a loss and (ii) the combinedreported loss of all operating segments that reported a loss.(c)Its assets are 10 per cent or more of the combined assets of all operatingsegments.Operating segments that do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds may be considered reportable, and separately disclosed, if management believes that information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements.© IASCF721IFRS 814An entity may combine information about operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds with information about other operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds to produce a reportable segment only if the operating segments have similar economic characteristics and share a majority of the aggregation criteria listed in paragraph 12.15If the total external revenue reported by operating segments constitutes less than75 per cent of the entity’s revenue, additional operating segments shall beidentified as reportable segments (even if they do not meet the criteria in paragraph 13) until at least 75 per cent of the entity’s revenue is included in reportable segments.16Information about other business activities and operating segments that are not reportable shall be combined and disclosed in an ‘all other segments’ category separately from other reconciling items in the reconciliations required by paragraph 28. The sources of the revenue included in the ‘all other segments’category shall be described.17If management judges that an operating segment identified as a reportable segment in the immediately preceding period is of continuing significance, information about that segment shall continue to be reported separately in the current period even if it no longer meets the criteria for reportability in paragraph 13.18If an operating segment is identified as a reportable segment in the current period in accordance with the quantitative thresholds, segment data for a prior period presented for comparative purposes shall be restated to reflect the newly reportable segment as a separate segment, even if that segment did not satisfy the criteria for reportability in paragraph 13 in the prior period, unless the necessary information is not available and the cost to develop it would be excessive.19There may be a practical limit to the number of reportable segments that an entity separately discloses beyond which segment information may become too detailed. Although no precise limit has been determined, as the number of segments that are reportable in accordance with paragraphs 13–18 increases above ten, the entity should consider whether a practical limit has been reached. Disclosure20An entity shall disclose information to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and the economic environments in which it operates.21To give effect to the principle in paragraph 20, an entity shall disclose the following for each period for which an income statement is presented:(a)general information as described in paragraph 22;(b)information about reported segment profit or loss, including specifiedrevenues and expenses included in reported segment profit or loss,segment assets, segment liabilities and the basis of measurement, asdescribed in paragraphs 23–27; and722© IASCFIFRS 8(c)reconciliations of the totals of segment revenues, reported segment profitor loss, segment assets, segment liabilities and other material segmentitems to corresponding entity amounts as described in paragraph 28.Reconciliations of balance sheet amounts for reportable segments to the entity’s balance sheet amounts are required for each date at which a balance sheet is presented. Information for prior periods shall be restated as described in paragraphs 29 and 30.General information22An entity shall disclose the following general information:(a)factors used to identify the entity’s reportable segments, including thebasis of organisation (for example, whether management has chosen toorganise the entity around differences in products and services,geographical areas, regulatory environments, or a combination of factorsand whether operating segments have been aggregated), and(b)types of products and services from which each reportable segment derivesits revenues.Information about profit or loss, assets and liabilities23An entity shall report a measure of profit or loss and total assets for each reportable segment. An entity shall report a measure of liabilities for each reportable segment if such an amount is regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. An entity shall also disclose the following about each reportable segment if the specified amounts are included in the measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, or are otherwise regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, even if not included in that measure of segment profit or loss:(a)revenues from external customers;(b)revenues from transactions with other operating segments of the sameentity;(c)interest revenue;(d)interest expense;(e)depreciation and amortisation;(f)material items of income and expense disclosed in accordance withparagraph 86 of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements;(g)the entity’s interest in the profit or loss of associates and joint venturesaccounted for by the equity method;(h)income tax expense or income; and(i)material non-cash items other than depreciation and amortisation.© IASCF723IFRS 8An entity shall report interest revenue separately from interest expense for each reportable segment unless a majority of the segment’s revenues are from interest and the chief operating decision maker relies primarily on net interest revenue to assess the performance of the segment and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment. In that situation, an entity may report that segment’s interest revenue net of its interest expense and disclose that it has done so.24An entity shall disclose the following about each reportable segment if the specified amounts are included in the measure of segment assets reviewed by the chief operating decision maker or are otherwise regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, even if not included in the measure of segment assets:(a)the amount of investment in associates and joint ventures accounted for bythe equity method, and(b)the amounts of additions to non-current assets* other than financialinstruments, deferred tax assets, post-employment benefit assets (see IAS 19Employee Benefits paragraphs 54–58) and rights arising under insurancecontracts.Measurement25The amount of each segment item reported shall be the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance. Adjustments and eliminations made in preparing an entity’s financial statements and allocations of revenues, expenses, and gains or losses shall be included in determining reported segment profit or loss only if they are included in the measure of the segment’s profit or loss that is used by the chief operating decision maker. Similarly, only those assets and liabilities that are included in the measures of the segment’s assets and segment’s liabilities that are used by the chief operating decision maker shall be reported for that segment. If amounts are allocated to reported segment profit or loss, assets or liabilities, those amounts shall be allocated on a reasonable basis.26If the chief operating decision maker uses only one measure of an operating segment’s profit or loss, the segment’s assets or the segment’s liabilities in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, segment profit or loss, assets and liabilities shall be reported at those measures. If the chief operating decision maker uses more than one measure of an operating segment’s profit or loss, the segment’s assets or the segment’s liabilities, the reported measures shall be those that management believes are determined in accordance with the measurement principles most consistent with those used in measuring the corresponding amounts in the entity’s financial statements.27An entity shall provide an explanation of the measurements of segment profit or loss, segment assets and segment liabilities for each reportable segment. At a minimum, an entity shall disclose the following:*For assets classified according to a liquidity presentation, non-current assets are assets that include amounts expected to be recovered more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. 724© IASCFIFRS 8(a)the basis of accounting for any transactions between reportable segments.(b)the nature of any differences between the measurements of the reportablesegments’ profits or losses and the entity’s profit or loss before income taxexpense or income and discontinued operations (if not apparent from thereconciliations described in paragraph 28). Those differences could includeaccounting policies and policies for allocation of centrally incurred coststhat are necessary for an understanding of the reported segmentinformation.(c)the nature of any differences between the measurements of the reportablesegments’ assets and the entity’s assets (if not apparent from thereconciliations described in paragraph 28). Those differences could includeaccounting policies and policies for allocation of jointly used assets that arenecessary for an understanding of the reported segment information.(d)the nature of any differences between the measurements of the reportablesegments’ liabilities and the entity’s liabilities (if not apparent from thereconciliations described in paragraph 28). Those differences could includeaccounting policies and policies for allocation of jointly utilised liabilitiesthat are necessary for an understanding of the reported segmentinformation.(e)the nature of any changes from prior periods in the measurement methodsused to determine reported segment profit or loss and the effect, if any, ofthose changes on the measure of segment profit or loss.(f)the nature and effect of any asymmetrical allocations to reportablesegments. For example, an entity might allocate depreciation expense to asegment without allocating the related depreciable assets to that segment.Reconciliations28An entity shall provide reconciliations of all of the following:(a)the total of the reportable segments’ revenues to the entity’s revenue.(b)the total of the reportable segments’ measures of profit or loss to theentity’s profit or loss before tax expense (tax income) and discontinuedoperations. However, if an entity allocates to reportable segments itemssuch as tax expense (tax income), the entity may reconcile the total of thesegments’ measures of profit or loss to the entity’s profit or loss after thoseitems.(c)the total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets.(d)the total of the reportable segments’ liabilities to the entity’s liabilities ifsegment liabilities are reported in accordance with paragraph 23.(e)the total of the reportable segments’ amounts for every other material itemof information disclosed to the corresponding amount for the entity.© IASCF725。

IAS 10 International Accounting Standard 10Events after the Reporting PeriodThis version includes amendments resulting from IFRSs issued up to 17 January 2008.IAS 10 Events After the Ba la nce Sheet Da te was issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee in May 1999. It replaced those parts of IAS 10 Contingencies and Events Occurring After the Balance Sheet Date (originally issued June 1978, reformatted 1994) that were not replaced by IAS 37 (issued September 1998).In April 2001 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) resolved that all Standards and Interpretations issued under previous Constitutions continued to be applicable unless and until they were amended or withdrawn.In December 2003 the IASB issued a revised IAS 10 with a modified title—Events after the Balance Sheet Date.IAS 10 was amended by the following IFRSs:•IFRS5Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (issued March 2004).•IAS1Presentation of Financial Statements (revised September 2007)As a result of the changes in terminology made by IAS 1 in 2007, the title of IAS 10 was changed to Events after the Reporting Period.The following Interpretation refers to IAS 10:•SIC-7 Introduction of the Euro (issued May 1998 and subsequently amended).© IASCF1035IAS 101036© IASCF C ONTENTSparagraphs INTRODUCTIONIN1–IN4INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD 10EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIODOBJECTIVE1SCOPE2DEFINITIONS3–7RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT8–13Adjusting events after the reporting period8–9Non-adjusting events after the reporting period10–11Dividends12–13GOING CONCERN14–16DISCLOSURE17–22Date of authorisation for issue17–18Updating disclosure about conditions at the end of the reporting period19–20Non-adjusting events after the reporting period21–22EFFECTIVE DATE23WITHDRAWAL OF IAS 10 (REVISED 1999)24APPENDIXAmendments to other pronouncementsAPPROVAL OF IAS 10 BY THE BOARDBASIS FOR CONCLUSIONSIAS 10 International Accounting Standard 10 Events after the Reporting Period (IAS 10) is set out in paragraphs 1–24 and the Appendix. All the paragraphs have equal authority but retain the IASC format of the Standard when it was adopted by the IASB. IAS 10 should be read in the context of its objective and the Basis for Conclusions, the Prefa ce to Interna tiona l Fina ncia l Reporting Sta nda rds and the Fra mework for the Prepa ra tion a nd Presentation of Financial Statements. IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors provides a basis for selecting and applying accounting policies in the absence of explicit guidance.© IASCF1037IAS 10IntroductionIN1International Accounting Standard 10 Events a fter the Reporting Period (IAS 10)* replaces IAS 10 Events After the Balance Sheet Date (revised in 1999) and should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005. Earlier application is encouraged.Reasons for revising IAS 10IN2The International Accounting Standards Board developed this revised IAS 10 as part of its project on Improvements to International Accounting Standards.The project was undertaken in the light of queries and criticisms raised in relation to the Standards by securities regulators, professional accountants and other interested parties. The objectives of the project were to reduce or eliminate alternatives, redundancies and conflicts within the Standards, to deal with some convergence issues and to make other improvements.IN3For IAS 10 the Board’s main objective was a limited clarification of the accounting for dividends declared after the reporting period. The Board did not reconsider the fundamental approach to the accounting for events after the reporting period contained in IAS 10.The main changesIN4The main change from the previous version of IAS 10 was a limited clarification of paragraphs 12 and 13 (paragraphs 11 and 12 of the previous version of IAS 10).As revised, those paragraphs state that if an entity declares dividends after the reporting period, the entity shall not recognise those dividends as a liability at the end of the reporting period.*In September 2007 the IASB amended the title of IAS 10 from Events after the Balance Sheet Date to Events a fter the Reporting Period as a consequence of the revision of IAS 1 Presenta tion of Fina ncia l Statements in 2007.1038© IASCFIAS 10 International Accounting Standard 10Events after the Reporting PeriodObjective1The objective of this Standard is to prescribe:(a)when an entity should adjust its financial statements for events after thereporting period; and(b)the disclosures that an entity should give about the date when thefinancial statements were authorised for issue and about events after thereporting period.The Standard also requires that an entity should not prepare its financial statements on a going concern basis if events after the reporting period indicate that the going concern assumption is not appropriate.Scope2This Standard shall be applied in the accounting for, and disclosure of, events after the reporting period.Definitions3The following terms are used in this Standard with the meanings specified:Events after the reporting period are those events, favourable and unfavourable, that occur between the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Two types of events can be identified:(a)those that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of thereporting period (adjusting events after the reporting period); and(b)those that are indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting period(non-adjusting events after the reporting period).4The process involved in authorising the financial statements for issue will vary depending upon the management structure, statutory requirements and procedures followed in preparing and finalising the financial statements.© IASCF1039IAS 105In some cases, an entity is required to submit its financial statements to its shareholders for approval after the financial statements have been issued. In such cases, the financial statements are authorised for issue on the date of issue, not the date when shareholders approve the financial statements.ExampleThe management of an entity completes draft financial statements for the yearto 31 December 20X1 on 28 February 20X2. On 18 March 20X2, the board ofdirectors reviews the financial statements and authorises them for issue.The entity announces its profit and selected other financial information on19March 20X2. The financial statements are made available to shareholdersand others on 1 April 20X2. The shareholders approve the financial statementsat their annual meeting on 15 May 20X2 and the approved financial statementsare then filed with a regulatory body on 17 May 20X2.The financial statements are authorised for issue on 18 March 20X2 (date of boardauthorisation for issue).6In some cases, the management of an entity is required to issue its financial statements to a supervisory board (made up solely of non-executives) for approval.In such cases, the financial statements are authorised for issue when the management authorises them for issue to the supervisory board.ExampleOn 18 March 20X2, the management of an entity authorises financialstatements for issue to its supervisory board. The supervisory board is made upsolely of non-executives and may include representatives of employees andother outside interests. The supervisory board approves the financialstatements on 26 March 20X2. The financial statements are made available toshareholders and others on 1 April 20X2. The shareholders approve thefinancial statements at their annual meeting on 15 May 20X2 and the financialstatements are then filed with a regulatory body on 17 May 20X2.The financial statements are authorised for issue on 18 March 20X2 (date of managementauthorisation for issue to the supervisory board).7Events after the reporting period include all events up to the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue, even if those events occur after the public announcement of profit or of other selected financial information.Recognition and measurementAdjusting events after the reporting period8An entity shall adjust the amounts recognised in its financial statements to reflect adjusting events after the reporting period.1040© IASCFIAS 10 9The following are examples of adjusting events after the reporting period that require an entity to adjust the amounts recognised in its financial statements, or to recognise items that were not previously recognised:(a)the settlement after the reporting period of a court case that confirms thatthe entity had a present obligation at the end of the reporting period.The entity adjusts any previously recognised provision related to this courtcase in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and ContingentAssets or recognises a new provision. The entity does not merely disclose acontingent liability because the settlement provides additional evidencethat would be considered in accordance with paragraph 16 of IAS 37.(b)the receipt of information after the reporting period indicating that anasset was impaired at the end of the reporting period, or that the amountof a previously recognised impairment loss for that asset needs to beadjusted. For example:(i)the bankruptcy of a customer that occurs after the reporting periodusually confirms that a loss existed at the end of the reporting periodon a trade receivable and that the entity needs to adjust the carryingamount of the trade receivable; and(ii)the sale of inventories after the reporting period may give evidence about their net realisable value at the end of the reporting period.(c)the determination after the reporting period of the cost of assetspurchased, or the proceeds from assets sold, before the end of the reportingperiod.(d)the determination after the reporting period of the amount ofprofit-sharing or bonus payments, if the entity had a present legal orconstructive obligation at the end of the reporting period to make suchpayments as a result of events before that date (see IAS 19 Employee Benefits).(e)the discovery of fraud or errors that show that the financial statements areincorrect.Non-adjusting events after the reporting period10An entity shall not adjust the amounts recognised in its financial statements to reflect non-adjusting events after the reporting period.11An example of a non-adjusting event after the reporting period is a decline in market value of investments between the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. The decline in market value does not normally relate to the condition of the investments at the end of the reporting period, but reflects circumstances that have arisen subsequently.Therefore, an entity does not adjust the amounts recognised in its financial statements for the investments. Similarly, the entity does not update the amounts disclosed for the investments as at the end of the reporting period, although it may need to give additional disclosure under paragraph 21.© IASCF1041IAS 10Dividends12If an entity declares dividends to holders of equity instruments (as defined in IAS32 Financial Instruments: Presentation) after the reporting period, the entity shall not recognise those dividends as a liability at the end of the reporting period.13If dividends are declared (ie the dividends are appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity) after the reporting period but before the financial statements are authorised for issue, the dividends are not recognised asa liability at the end of the reporting period because they do not meet the criteriaof a present obligation in IAS 37. Such dividends are disclosed in the notes in accordance with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements.Going concern14An entity shall not prepare its financial statements on a going concern basis if management determines after the reporting period either that it intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading, or that it has no realistic alternative but to do so.15Deterioration in operating results and financial position after the reporting period may indicate a need to consider whether the going concern assumption is still appropriate. If the going concern assumption is no longer appropriate, the effect is so pervasive that this Standard requires a fundamental change in the basis of accounting, rather than an adjustment to the amounts recognised within the original basis of accounting.16IAS 1 specifies required disclosures if:(a)the financial statements are not prepared on a going concern basis; or(b)management is aware of material uncertainties related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entity’s ability tocontinue as a going concern. The events or conditions requiring disclosuremay arise after the reporting period.DisclosureDate of authorisation for issue17An entity shall disclose the date when the financial statements were authorised for issue and who gave that authorisation. If the entity’s owners or others have the power to amend the financial statements after issue, the entity shall disclose that fact.18It is important for users to know when the financial statements were authorised for issue, because the financial statements do not reflect events after this date. 1042© IASCFIAS 10 Updating disclosure about conditions at the end of thereporting period19If an entity receives information after the reporting period about conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, it shall update disclosures that relate to those conditions, in the light of the new information.20In some cases, an entity needs to update the disclosures in its financial statements to reflect information received after the reporting period, even when the information does not affect the amounts that it recognises in its financial statements. One example of the need to update disclosures is when evidence becomes available after the reporting period about a contingent liability that existed at the end of the reporting period. In addition to considering whether it should recognise or change a provision under IAS 37, an entity updates its disclosures about the contingent liability in the light of that evidence.Non-adjusting events after the reporting period21If non-adjusting events after the reporting period are material, non-disclosure could influence the economic decisions that users mak e on the basis of the financial statements. Accordingly, an entity shall disclose the following for each material category of non-adjusting event after the reporting period:(a)the nature of the event; and(b)an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimatecannot be made.22The following are examples of non-adjusting events after the reporting period that would generally result in disclosure:(a) a major business combination after the reporting period (IFRS 3 BusinessCombinations requires specific disclosures in such cases) or disposing of amajor subsidiary;(b)announcing a plan to discontinue an operation;(c)major purchases of assets, classification of assets as held for sale inaccordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sa le a nd DiscontinuedOperations, other disposals of assets, or expropriation of major assets bygovernment;(d)the destruction of a major production plant by a fire after the reportingperiod;(e)announcing, or commencing the implementation of, a major restructuring(see IAS 37);(f)major ordinary share transactions and potential ordinary sharetransactions after the reporting period (IAS 33 Earnings per Share requires anentity to disclose a description of such transactions, other than when suchtransactions involve capitalisation or bonus issues, share splits or reverseshare splits all of which are required to be adjusted under IAS 33);© IASCF1043IAS 10(g)abnormally large changes after the reporting period in asset prices orforeign exchange rates;(h)changes in tax rates or tax laws enacted or announced after the reportingperiod that have a significant effect on current and deferred tax assets andliabilities (see IAS 12 Income Taxes);(i)entering into significant commitments or contingent liabilities, forexample, by issuing significant guarantees; and(j)commencing major litigation arising solely out of events that occurred after the reporting period.Effective date23An entity shall apply this Standard for annual periods beginning on or after 1January 2005. Earlier application is encouraged. If an entity applies this Standard for a period beginning before 1 January 2005, it shall disclose that fact.Withdrawal of IAS 10 (revised 1999)24This Standard supersedes IAS 10 Events After the Balance Sheet Date (revised in 1999). 1044© IASCFIAS 10 AppendixAmendments to other pronouncementsThe a mendments in this a ppendix sha ll be a pplied for a nnua l periods beginning on or a fter 1Janua ry2005.

Individual Board members gave greater weight to some factors than to others.BC2In July 2001 the Board announced that, as part of its initial agenda of technical projects, it would undertake a project to improve a number of Standards, including IAS 10. The project was undertaken in the light of queries and criticisms raised in relation to the Standards by securities regulators, professional accountants and other interested parties. The objectives of the Improvements project were to reduce or eliminate alternatives, redundancies and conflicts within Standards, to deal with some convergence issues and to make other improvements. In May 2002 the Board published its proposals in an Exposure Draft of Improvements to International Accounting Standards, with a comment deadline of 16 September 2002. The Board received over 160 comment letters on the Exposure Draft.BC3Because the Board’s intention was not to reconsider the fundamental approach to the accounting for events after the balance sheet date established by IAS 10, this Basis for Conclusions does not discuss requirements in IAS 10 that the Board has not reconsidered.Limited clarificationBC4For this limited clarification of IAS 10 the main change made is in paragraphs 12 and 13 (paragraphs 11 and 12 of the previous version of IAS 10). As revised, those paragraphs state that if dividends are declared after the balance sheet date,† an entity shall not recognise those dividends as a liability at the balance sheet date.This is because undeclared dividends do not meet the criteria of a present obligation in IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The Board discussed whether or not an entity’s past practice of paying dividends could be considered a constructive obligation. The Board concluded that such practices do not give rise to a liability to pay dividends.*In September 2007 the IASB amended the title of IAS 10 from Events after the Balance Sheet Date to Events after the Reporting Period as a consequence of the amendments in IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (as revised in 2007).†IAS1Presentation of Financial Statements (as revised in 2007) replaced the term ‘balance sheet date’with ‘end of the reporting period’.© IASCF1047。

IAS 2 International Accounting Standard 2InventoriesThis version includes amendments resulting from IFRSs issued up to 31 December 2008.IAS 2 Inventories was issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee in December 1993. It replaced IAS 2 Valuation and Presentation of Inventories in the Context of the Historical Cost System (originally issued in October 1975).The Standing Interpretations Committee developed SIC-1 Consistency—Different Cost Formulas for Inventories, which was issued in December 1997.Limited amendments to IAS 2 were made in 1999 and 2000.In April 2001 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) resolved that all Standards and Interpretations issued under previous Constitutions continued to be applicable unless and until they were amended or withdrawn.In December 2003 the IASB issued a revised IAS 2, which also replaced SIC-1.Since then IAS 2 has been amended by the following IFRSs:•IFRS8Operating Segments (issued November 2006)*•Improvements to IFRSs (issued May 2008).*The following Interpretation refers to IAS 2:•SIC-32 Intangible Assets—Web Site Costs (issued March 2002 and subsequently amended).*Effective date 1 January 2009© IASCF979IAS 2980© IASCF C ONTENTSparagraphs INTRODUCTIONIN1–IN17INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD 2INVENTORIESOBJECTIVE1SCOPE2–5DEFINITIONS6–8MEASUREMENT OF INVENTORIES9–33Cost of inventories10–22Costs of purchase11Costs of conversion12–14Other costs15–18Cost of inventories of a service provider19Cost of agricultural produce harvested from biological assets20Techniques for the measurement of cost21–22Cost formulas23–27Net realisable value28–33RECOGNITION AS AN EXPENSE34–35DISCLOSURE36–39EFFECTIVE DATE40WITHDRAWAL OF OTHER PRONOUNCEMENTS41–42APPENDIXAmendments to other pronouncementsAPPROVAL BY THE BOARD OF IAS 2 ISSUED IN DECEMBER 2003BASIS FOR CONCLUSIONSIAS 2 International Accounting Standard 2 Inventories (IAS 2) is set out in paragraphs 1–42 and the Appendix. All the paragraphs have equal authority but retain the IASC format of the Standard when it was adopted by the IASB. IAS 2 should be read in the context of its objective and the Basis for Conclusions, the Pref ace to International Financial Reporting Standards and the Framework f or the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements. IAS8Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors provides a basis for selecting and applying accounting policies in the absence of explicit guidance.© IASCF981IAS 2IntroductionIN1International Accounting Standard 2 Inventories (IAS 2) replaces IAS 2 Inventories (revised in 1993) and should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1January 2005. Earlier application is encouraged. The Standard also supersedes SIC-1 Consistency—Different Cost Formulas for Inventories.Reasons for revising IAS 2IN2The International Accounting Standards Board developed this revised IAS 2 as part of its project on Improvements to International Accounting Standards.The project was undertaken in the light of queries and criticisms raised in relation to the Standards by securities regulators, professional accountants and other interested parties. The objectives of the project were to reduce or eliminate alternatives, redundancies and conflicts within the Standards, to deal with some convergence issues and to make other improvements.IN3For IAS 2 the Board’s main objective was a limited revision to reduce alternatives for the measurement of inventories. The Board did not reconsider the fundamental approach to accounting for inventories contained in IAS2.The main changesIN4The main changes from the previous version of IAS 2 are described below.Objective and scopeIN5The objective and scope paragraphs of IAS 2 were amended by removing the words ‘held under the historical cost system’, to clarify that the Standard applies to all inventories that are not specifically excluded from its scope.Scope clarificationIN6The Standard clarifies that some types of inventories are outside its scope while certain other types of inventories are exempted only from the measurement requirements in the Standard.IN7Paragraph 3 establishes a clear distinction between those inventories that are entirely outside the scope of the Standard (described in paragraph 2) and those inventories that are outside the scope of the measurement requirements but within the scope of the other requirements in the Standard.982© IASCFIAS 2Scope exemptionsProducers of agricultural and forest products, agricultural produceafter harvest and minerals and mineral productsIN8The Standard does not apply to the measurement of inventories of producers of agricultural and forest products, agricultural produce after harvest, and minerals and mineral products, to the extent that they are measured at net realisable value in accordance with well-established industry practices. The previous version of IAS 2 was amended to replace the words ‘mineral ores’ with ‘minerals and mineral products’ to clarify that the scope exemption is not limited to the early stage of extraction of mineral ores.Inventories of commodity broker-tradersIN9The Standard does not apply to the measurement of inventories of commodity broker-traders to the extent that they are measured at fair value less costs to sell.Cost of inventoriesCosts of purchaseIN10IAS 2 does not permit exchange differences arising directly on the recent acquisition of inventories invoiced in a foreign currency to be included in the costs of purchase of inventories. This change from the previous version of IAS 2 resulted from the elimination of the allowed alternative treatment of capitalising certain exchange differences in IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.That alternative had already been largely restricted in its application by SIC-11 Foreign Exchange—Capitalisation of Losses from Severe Currency Devaluations. SIC-11 has been superseded as a result of the revision of IAS21 in 2003.Other costsIN11Paragraph 18 was inserted to clarify that when inventories are purchased with deferred settlement terms, the difference between the purchase price for normal credit terms and the amount paid is recognised as interest expense over the period of financing.Cost formulasConsistencyIN12The Standard incorporates the requirements of SIC-1 Consistency—Dif erent Cost Formulas for Inventories that an entity use the same cost formula for all inventories having a similar nature and use to the entity. SIC-1 is superseded.Prohibition of LIFO as a cost formulaIN13The Standard does not permit the use of the last-in, first-out (LIFO) formula to measure the cost of inventories.© IASCF983IAS 2Recognition as an expenseIN14The Standard eliminates the reference to the matching principle.IN15The Standard describes the circumstances that would trigger a reversal of a write-down of inventories recognised in a prior period.DisclosureInventories carried at fair value less costs to sellIN16The Standard requires disclosure of the carrying amount of inventories carried at fair value less costs to sell.Write-down of inventoriesIN17The Standard requires disclosure of the amount of any write-down of inventories recognised as an expense in the period and eliminates the requirement to disclose the amount of inventories carried at net realisable value.984© IASCFIAS 2 International Accounting Standard 2InventoriesObjective1The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting treatment for inventories. A primary issue in accounting for inventories is the amount of cost to be recognised as an asset and carried forward until the related revenues are recognised. This Standard provides guidance on the determination of cost and its subsequent recognition as an expense, including any write-down to net realisable value. It also provides guidance on the cost formulas that are used to assign costs to inventories.Scope2This Standard applies to all inventories, except:(a)work in progress arising under construction contracts, including directlyrelated service contracts (see IAS 11 Construction Contracts);(b)financial instruments (see IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation andIAS39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement); and(c)biological assets related to agricultural activity and agricultural produce atthe point of harvest (see IAS 41 Agriculture).3This Standard does not apply to the measurement of inventories held by:(a)producers of agricultural and forest products, agricultural produce afterh arvest, and minerals and mineral products, to th e extent th at th ey aremeasured at net realisable value in accordance with well-establish edpractices in those industries. When such inventories are measured at netrealisable value, changes in that value are recognised in profit or loss in theperiod of the change.(b)commodity broker-traders who measure their inventories at fair value lesscosts to sell. When such inventories are measured at fair value less costs tosell, changes in fair value less costs to sell are recognised in profit or loss inthe period of the change.4The inventories referred to in paragraph 3(a) are measured at net realisable value at certain stages of production. This occurs, for example, when agricultural crops have been harvested or minerals have been extracted and sale is assured under a forward contract or a government guarantee, or when an active market exists and there is a negligible risk of failure to sell. These inventories are excluded from only the measurement requirements of this Standard.5Broker-traders are those who buy or sell commodities for others or on their own account. The inventories referred to in paragraph 3(b) are principally acquired with the purpose of selling in the near future and generating a profit from© IASCF985IAS 2fluctuations in price or broker-traders’ margin. When these inventories are measured at fair value less costs to sell, they are excluded from only the measurement requirements of this Standard.Definitions6The following terms are used in this Standard with the meanings specified: Inventories are assets:(a)held for sale in the ordinary course of business;(b)in the process of production for such sale; or(c)in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the productionprocess or in the rendering of services.Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.Fair value is th e amount for wh ich an asset could be exch anged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.7Net realisable value refers to the net amount that an entity expects to realise from the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business. Fair value reflects the amount for which the same inventory could be exchanged between knowledgeable and willing buyers and sellers in the marketplace. The former is an entity-specific value; the latter is not. Net realisable value for inventories may not equal fair value less costs to sell.8Inventories encompass goods purchased and held for resale including, for example, merchandise purchased by a retailer and held for resale, or land and other property held for resale. Inventories also encompass finished goods produced, or work in progress being produced, by the entity and include materials and supplies awaiting use in the production process. In the case of a service provider, inventories include the costs of the service, as described in paragraph 19, for which the entity has not yet recognised the related revenue (see IAS18 Revenue).Measurement of inventories9Inventories shall be measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.Cost of inventories10The cost of inventories shall comprise all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.986© IASCFIAS 2Costs of purchase11The costs of purchase of inventories comprise the purchase price, import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable by the entity from the taxing authorities), and transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of finished goods, materials and services. Trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are deducted in determining the costs of purchase.Costs of conversion12The costs of conversion of inventories include costs directly related to the units of production, such as direct labour. They also include a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads that are incurred in converting materials into finished goods. Fixed production overheads are those indirect costs of production that remain relatively constant regardless of the volume of production, such as depreciation and maintenance of factory buildings and equipment, and the cost of factory management and administration. Variable production overheads are those indirect costs of production that vary directly, or nearly directly, with the volume of production, such as indirect materials and indirect labour.13The allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion is based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Normal capacity is the production expected to be achieved on average over a number of periods or seasons under normal circumstances, taking into account the loss of capacity resulting from planned maintenance. The actual level of production may be used if it approximates normal capacity. The amount of fixed overhead allocated to each unit of production is not increased as a consequence of low production or idle plant. Unallocated overheads are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. In periods of abnormally high production, the amount of fixed overhead allocated to each unit of production is decreased so that inventories are not measured above cost. Variable production overheads are allocated to each unit of production on the basis of the actual use of the production facilities.14 A production process may result in more than one product being producedsimultaneously. This is the case, for example, when joint products are produced or when there is a main product and a by-product. When the costs of conversion of each product are not separately identifiable, they are allocated between the products on a rational and consistent basis. The allocation may be based, for example, on the relative sales value of each product either at the stage in the production process when the products become separately identifiable, or at the completion of production. Most by-products, by their nature, are immaterial.When this is the case, they are often measured at net realisable value and this value is deducted from the cost of the main product. As a result, the carrying amount of the main product is not materially different from its cost.© IASCF987IAS 2Other costs15Other costs are included in the cost of inventories only to the extent that they are incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.For example, it may be appropriate to include non-production overheads or the costs of designing products for specific customers in the cost of inventories.16Examples of costs excluded from the cost of inventories and recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred are:(a)abnormal amounts of wasted materials, labour or other production costs;(b)storage costs, unless those costs are necessary in the production processbefore a further production stage;(c)administrative overheads that do not contribute to bringing inventories totheir present location and condition; and(d)selling costs.17IAS23 Borrowing Costs identifies limited circumstances where borrowing costs are included in the cost of inventories.18An entity may purchase inventories on deferred settlement terms. When the arrangement effectively contains a financing element, that element, for examplea difference between the purchase price for normal credit terms and the amountpaid, is recognised as interest expense over the period of the financing.Cost of inventories of a service provider19To the extent that service providers have inventories, they measure them at the costs of their production. These costs consist primarily of the labour and other costs of personnel directly engaged in providing the service, including supervisory personnel, and attributable overheads. Labour and other costs relating to sales and general administrative personnel are not included but are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. The cost of inventories of a service provider does not include profit margins or non-attributable overheads that are often factored into prices charged by service providers.Cost of agricultural produce harvested from biological assets20In accordance with IAS 41 Agriculture inventories comprising agricultural produce that an entity has harvested from its biological assets are measured on initial recognition at their fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvest. This is the cost of the inventories at that date for application of this Standard.Techniques for the measurement of cost21Techniques for the measurement of the cost of inventories, such as the standard cost method or the retail method, may be used for convenience if the results approximate cost. Standard costs take into account normal levels of materials and supplies, labour, efficiency and capacity utilisation. They are regularly reviewed and, if necessary, revised in the light of current conditions.988© IASCFIAS 2 22The retail method is often used in the retail industry for measuring inventories of large numbers of rapidly changing items with similar margins for which it is impracticable to use other costing methods. The cost of the inventory is determined by reducing the sales value of the inventory by the appropriate percentage gross margin. The percentage used takes into consideration inventory that has been marked down to below its original selling price. An average percentage for each retail department is often used.Cost formulas23The cost of inventories of items that are not ordinarily interchangeable and goods or services produced and segregated for specific projects sh all be assigned by using specific identification of their individual costs.24Specific identification of cost means that specific costs are attributed to identified items of inventory. This is the appropriate treatment for items that are segregated for a specific project, regardless of whether they have been bought or produced. However, specific identification of costs is inappropriate when there are large numbers of items of inventory that are ordinarily interchangeable.In such circumstances, the method of selecting those items that remain in inventories could be used to obtain predetermined effects on profit or loss.25Th e cost of inventories, oth er th an th ose dealt with in paragraph 23, sh all be assigned by using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or weighted average cost formula.An entity sh all use th e same cost formula for all inventories h aving a similar nature and use to th e entity. For inventories with a different nature or use, different cost formulas may be justified.26For example, inventories used in one operating segment may have a use to the entity different from the same type of inventories used in another operating segment. However, a difference in geographical location of inventories (or in the respective tax rules), by itself, is not sufficient to justify the use of different cost formulas.27The FIFO formula assumes that the items of inventory that were purchased or produced first are sold first, and consequently the items remaining in inventory at the end of the period are those most recently purchased or produced. Under the weighted average cost formula, the cost of each item is determined from the weighted average of the cost of similar items at the beginning of a period and the cost of similar items purchased or produced during the period. The average may be calculated on a periodic basis, or as each additional shipment is received, depending upon the circumstances of the entity.Net realisable value28The cost of inventories may not be recoverable if those inventories are damaged, if they have become wholly or partially obsolete, or if their selling prices have declined. The cost of inventories may also not be recoverable if the estimated costs of completion or the estimated costs to be incurred to make the sale have increased. The practice of writing inventories down below cost to net realisable value is consistent with the view that assets should not be carried in excess of amounts expected to be realised from their sale or use.© IASCF989IAS 229Inventories are usually written down to net realisable value item by item. In some circumstances, however, it may be appropriate to group similar or related items.This may be the case with items of inventory relating to the same product line that have similar purposes or end uses, are produced and marketed in the same geographical area, and cannot be practicably evaluated separately from other items in that product line. It is not appropriate to write inventories down on the basis of a classification of inventory, for example, finished goods, or all the inventories in a particular operating segment. Service providers generally accumulate costs in respect of each service for which a separate selling price is charged. Therefore, each such service is treated as a separate item.30Estimates of net realisable value are based on the most reliable evidence available at the time the estimates are made, of the amount the inventories are expected to realise. These estimates take into consideration fluctuations of price or cost directly relating to events occurring after the end of the period to the extent that such events confirm conditions existing at the end of the period.31Estimates of net realisable value also take into consideration the purpose for which the inventory is held. For example, the net realisable value of the quantity of inventory held to satisfy firm sales or service contracts is based on the contract price. If the sales contracts are for less than the inventory quantities held, the net realisable value of the excess is based on general selling prices. Provisions may arise from firm sales contracts in excess of inventory quantities held or from firm purchase contracts. Such provisions are dealt with under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.32Materials and other supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. However, when a decline in the price of materials indicates that the cost of the finished products exceeds net realisable value, the materials are written down to net realisable value. In such circumstances, the replacement cost of the materials may be the best available measure of their net realisable value.33 A new assessment is made of net realisable value in each subsequent period.When the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realisable value because of changed economic circumstances, the amount of the write-down is reversed (ie the reversal is limited to the amount of the original write-down) so that the new carrying amount is the lower of the cost and the revised net realisable value. This occurs, for example, when an item of inventory that is carried at net realisable value, because its selling price has declined, is still on hand in a subsequent period and its selling price has increased. Recognition as an expense34Wh en inventories are sold, th e carrying amount of th ose inventories sh all be recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.The amount of any write-down of inventories to net realisable value and all losses of inventories shall be recognised as an expense in the period the write-down or990© IASCFIAS 2loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realisable value, shall be recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised as an expense in th e period in wh ich th e reversal occurs.35Some inventories may be allocated to other asset accounts, for example, inventory used as a component of self-constructed property, plant or equipment.Inventories allocated to another asset in this way are recognised as an expense during the useful life of that asset.Disclosure36The financial statements shall disclose:(a)th e accounting policies adopted in measuring inventories, including th ecost formula used;(b)th e total carrying amount of inventories and th e carrying amount inclassifications appropriate to the entity;(c)the carrying amount of inventories carried at fair value less costs to sell;(d)the amount of inventories recognised as an expense during the period;(e)the amount of any write-down of inventories recognised as an expense inthe period in accordance with paragraph 34;(f)th e amount of any reversal of any write-down th at is recognised as areduction in the amount of inventories recognised as expense in the periodin accordance with paragraph 34;(g)th e circumstances or events th at led to th e reversal of a write-down ofinventories in accordance with paragraph 34; and(h)the carrying amount of inventories pledged as security for liabilities.37Information about the carrying amounts held in different classifications of inventories and the extent of the changes in these assets is useful to financial statement users. Common classifications of inventories are merchandise, production supplies, materials, work in progress and finished goods.The inventories of a service provider may be described as work in progress.38The amount of inventories recognised as an expense during the period, which is often referred to as cost of sales, consists of those costs previously included in the measurement of inventory that has now been sold and unallocated production overheads and abnormal amounts of production costs of inventories.The circumstances of the entity may also warrant the inclusion of other amounts, such as distribution costs.© IASCF991IAS 239Some entities adopt a format for profit or loss that results in amounts being disclosed other than the cost of inventories recognised as an expense during the period. Under this format, an entity presents an analysis of expenses using a classification based on the nature of expenses. In this case, the entity discloses the costs recognised as an expense for raw materials and consumables, labour costs and other costs together with the amount of the net change in inventories for the period.Effective date40An entity shall apply this Standard for annual periods beginning on or after 1January 2005. Earlier application is encouraged. If an entity applies this Standard for a period beginning before 1 January 2005, it shall disclose that fact.

与本准则的要求一致且针对银行和类似金融机构的附加披露要求，在《国际会计准则第30号-银行和类似金融机构财务报表中的披露》中规定。

4．本准则使用适合以盈利为目的的企业的术语，因而公共部门经营企业可运用本准则的要求。

打算运用本准则的非盈利、政府和其他公共部门企业，可能需要补充对财务报表中某些特定项目以及对财务报表本准则的说明。

这类企业也可能需要提供一些财务报表的额外信息。

四、财务报表的目的5．财务报表是企业财务状况和经济业务的结构性财务描述。

通用财务报表的目的是提供有助于广大使用者进行经济决策的有关企业财务状况、经营成果和现金流量的信息。

前言世界上许多企业都编制并且向外部使用者呈报财务报表。

虽然这些财务报表在国与国之间看上去可能相同，但实际上却存在着差别。

这种差别可能是由于各种社会、经济和法律环境的不同所引起的，同时也可能是由于不同的国家在制定国家级标准时考虑到财务报表不同使用者的需要所引起的。

这些不同的环境，导致了财务报表要素亦即资产、负债、权益、收益和费用等不同定义的使用，同时还导致了使用不同的标准确认财务报表中的项目以及对不同计量基础的取舍。

财务报表的范围和财务报表中的揭示内容，亦受到影响。

国际会计准则委员会受命通过寻求协调与编制和呈报财务报表有关的规定、会计准则和程序，来缩小这些差别。

它认为，寻求进一步协调的最好办法，是将注意力集中在为了提供对经济决策有用的信息而编制的财务报表之上。

国际会计准则委员会理事会认为，为了这种目的而编制的财务报表，可以满足大多数使用者的共同需要。

这是因为几乎所有的使用者都要作经济决策，例如：（l）决定何时购入、持有或出售一项权益性投资；（2）评价管理当局的保管或受托责任；（3）评价企业向其职工支付工资和提供其他利益的能力；（4）评价对企业贷款的保险程度；（5）决定税务政策；（6）决定可分配利润和股利；（7）编制和使用国民收入统计指标；（8）管理企业的活动。

然而，理事会认为，各国政府特别有可能为了自己的目的而规定不同的或额外的要求。

但是这些要求不应当影响为其他使用者的利益而公布的财务报表，除非这些要求也能满足那些其他使用者的需要。

财务报表最通常是根据以可收回的历史成本为基础的会计模式和名义财务资本保全的概念加以编制的。

虽然目前尚无要求变动的一致意见，为了达到提供对经济决策有用的信息的目的，其他的模式和概念可能更为适合。

本结构则是为了适用于一系列的会计模式以及资本和资本保全的概念加以设计的。

引言目的和地位1．本结构确立了为外部使用者编制和呈报财务报表所依据的概念。

本结构的目的是：（l）帮助国际会计准则委员会理事会制定将来的国际会计准则，并对现有的国际会计准则加以复审；（2）为减少国际会计准则所允许的备选会计处理方法的数目提供基础，藉以协助国际会计准则委员会理事会促进协调与编报财务报表有关的规定、会计准则和程序；（3）帮助国家级准则制定团体发展国家级准则；（4）帮助财务报表编制者应用国际会计准则和处理尚待列作国际会计准则题目的问题；（5）帮助审计师形成关于财务报表是否符合国际会计准则的意见；（6）帮助使用者理解按国际会计准则编制的财务报表中所包含的信息；（7）向关心国际会计准则委员会工作的人们提供关于制定国际会计准则的方法的资料。

呵呵，牵涉到法律基础，即大陆法系和英美法系(海洋法系)。

由于人文法律传统等一息列因素造成严重的差异。

著名案例就是1993年戴姆勒奔驰在纽约上市，按德国会计审核盈利6亿多马克的账本到美国变成了18亿负债，造成欧洲大陆很多公司不愿意到美国上市，影响很坏，美国国会震动。

究其原因就是会计规则的不同。

需要系统的学习才能了解大概。

我有以前学习的存文附上，请参阅。

前言随着资本市场的全球化，建立世界性统一的财会制度已迫在眉睫。

例如，一家外国公司若想在美国上市，必须按照美国一般公认会计原则GAAP(GenerallyAcceptedAccountingStandard,以下简称GAPP)编制年度财务报表，美国证券交易委员会SEC(SecuritiesandExchangeCommission,以下简称SEC)拒绝接受按照别国会计准则编制的财务报表。

除GAAP外，国际会计准则IAS(InternationalAccountingStandard,以下简称IAS),现被称为国际财务报告准则IFRS(InternationalFinancialReportingStandard,以下简称IFRS)也享有越来越重要的国际地位。

2000年7月，德国财务监督执行组织DRSC(DeutscheRechnungslegungStandardCommittee明文规定，上市集团公司可以按照国际上通用的会计准则GAAP或IFRS合并编制财务报表，但必须将其翻译为德语，并选用本位币———欧元作为计价单位。

It was approved in 1989. The IASB Framework assists the IASB:● in the development of future International Accounting Standards and in its review of existingInternational Accounting Standards; and● in promoting the harmonisation of regulations, accounting standards and procedures relating to thepresentation of financial statements by providing a basis for reducing the number of alternative In addition,the Framework may assist:● preparers of financial statements in applying International Accounting Standards and in dealing withtopics that have yet to form the subject of an International Accounting Standard;● auditors in forming an opinion as to whether financial statements conform with InternationalAccounting Standards;● users of financial statements in interpreting the information contained in financial statements preparedin conformity with International Accounting Standards; and● those who are interested in the work of IASB, providing them with information about its approach to theformulation of accounting standards.The Framework is not an International Accounting Standard and does not define standards for any particular measurement or disclosure issue.In a limited number of cases there may be a conflict between the Framework and a requirement within anInternational Accounting Standard. In those cases where there is a conflict, the requirements of the InternationalAccounting Standard prevail over those of the Framework.世界上许多企业都编制并且向外部使用者呈报财务报表。

国际会计准则25-33第25号--金融工具：揭示和呈报目的风云变幻的国际金融市场，导致了各种金融工具的广泛使用，从诸如债券之类的传统初级工具，到诸如利率掉期之类的各种形式的衍生工具，不一而足。

资产负债表表内和表外金融工具对企业财务状况、经营业绩和现金流量具有相当的重要性，本号准则的目的，是为了增进财务报表使用者对这一重要性的了解。

本号准则对表内金融工具的呈报规定了某些要求，并指出了应予以揭示的关于表内（已经确认）和表外（未经确认）金融工具的信息。

呈报准则涉及到金融工具在负债和权益之间的分类，有关利息、股利、损失和利得之间的分类，以及金融资产与金融负债应予以相互抵销的情况等。

揭示准则涉及到关于影响与金融工具有关的企业未来现金流量的金额、时间和确定性的因素，以及适用于这些工具的会计政策等方面的信息。

此外，本号准则还要求揭示这样一些信息，包括企业使用金融工具的性质和范围、它们所服务的业务目的、与它们有关的风险，以及管理当局控制这些风险所使用的政策等。

范围1．本号准则应在呈报和揭示关于各种已经确认和未经确认的金融工具方面的信息时加以应用。

但下列项目除外：（1）对附属公司的权益，其定义见国际会计准则第27号“合并财务报表和对附属公司投资的会计”；（2）对联营企业的权益，其定义见国际会计准则第28号“对联营企业投资的会计”；（3）合营中权益，其定义见国际会计准则第31号“对合营中权益的财务报告”；（4）雇主和计划中对雇员就业后各种福利包括退休金所承担的义务，见国际会计准则第19号“退休金费用”以及国际会计准则第26号“退休金计划的会计和报告”；（5）在雇员股票认购权和股票购买计划下雇主应承担的义务；（6）由保险合同所产生的义务。

2．虽然本号准则不适用于企业对附属公司的权益，但却适用于母公司的合并财务报表中所包括的所有金融工具，不管这些金融工具是由母公司还是由其附属公司持有或发行的。

类似地，本号准则还适用于在合营中持有或发行，并且直接包括在合营者财务报表或通过比例合并包括在合营者财务报表中的金融工具。
