...“Valuing tangible non-current assets is subjective and complex and can therefore result in different companies valuing similar assets very differently” Financial reporting attempts to measure the worth of assets, a concept that is inherently subjective and arbitrary. We can never know the true value of an asset, and rather than being an objective truth, valuations are always biased. Financial reporting is used for different purposes by different users and so each different way might be appropriate in different circumstances and values are affected by the purpose of measurement. Property, plant and equipment are the main non-current assets that a company holds. Similar assets can be valued differently in different companies due to several different factors which I will discuss in this essay. Tangible non-current assets are usually valued by using the historical cost, which is the initial cost of acquiring the asset to the company. The IFRS states that the historical cost of an item not only includes the price paid for it, but also “any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.” This includes transportation and labour costs, and the cost of site preparation. Different companies may have different views on whether costs involved in bringing the asset into use should be counted as part of the asset or an expense, and often small costs that should be capitalised are...

DISCUSS THE STATEMENT IN RELATION TO JUSTIFICATION FOR INFLATION ACCOUNTING IN NIGERIA. NOVEMBER, 2011. INTRODUCTION Inflation account is a system of accounting which, unlike historical cost accounting takes into account changing prices. Inflation accounting is a term describing a range of accounting systems designed to correct problems arising from historical cost. Historical cost basis in financial statements Historical cost accounting became more widespread after values overstated during the 1920s were reversed during the great depression of 1930s. Most principles of historical cost accounting were developed after the Wall Street crash of 1929, including the presumption of a stable currency. Under a historical cost based system of accounting, inflation leads to two basic problems, first, many of the historical numbers appearing on financial are not economically relevant because prices have changed since they were incurred. Second, since the numbers on financial statements represent dollars expended at different points of time and, in turn, embody different amounts of purchasing power, they are simply not additive. In most countries, primary financial statements are...

...differences. They are both similar in terms of style and the form of the individual standards because they are based on similar conceptual frameworks. The main objective of both IFRS and pre-IFRS Canadian GAAP is for financial statements to give a fair presentation. When there is a choice of accounting policies, the one that can reflect the most accurate economic portrait should be selected. Since Extract Tar Sands it traded publicly, included in its stakeholders are international investors. It’s compliance with IFRS is necessary to be a global competitor. IFRS will allow easier financial performance benchmarking amongst competing companies. This in turn will provide better access to capital. With the adoption of IFRS it will also eliminate Extract’s need to reconcile information reported under different national standards while providing consistent information for decision making purposes. The two areas with IFRS that represent the greatest change for Extract tar sands are: 1. Impairment: With IFRS impairments are usually triggered more frequently and unlike pre-IFRS Canadian GAAP, impairments under IFRS can be reversed. 2. Revaluations: Some IFRS including Property, Plant and Equipment, Investment Property and Intangibles allow the revaluation of assets under certain circumstances. This is quite a change from pre-IFRS Canadian GAAP which has no such provision. We will discuss these two issues as we go through the chart of accounts of Extract Tar Sands and also comment...

...Comparing IFRS to GAAP Financial statements that are primary required by the International Financial Reporting standards and the GAAP are generally the same. Neither is specific in regards to the format of the financial statement; however they do contain some format differences. IFRS and GAAP are both developed by the International Financial Reporting Standards with expectations of transparent financial disclosures. FASB and IASB Steps Steps are taken by both the FASB and IASB to move to fair value measurement for financial instruments and are clearly defined for the GAAP or IFRS. The SEC and the FASB have both taken steps towards reporting in regards to financial accounting meaning the cooperative effort of both FASB and IASB is to create a combined measurement and reporting arrangement for fair value accounting. Also, in the works, is standardize financial statements for both FASB and IASB; proposed framework is for statements to be in the same format so that entities financial activities are separated by owners and creditors. The standardized financial statement will have three phases in attempt to modify, update, and complete a merged abstract framework (Kimmel, 2013).
