Conceptual Framework of Financial Reporting n n What does the current accounting standard setting authority rely on to prescribe the accounting standards? Conceptual Framework of Financial Reporting: A system of interactive objectives and fundamentals which can lead to a set of consistent standards in preparing financial reports.

The Move Toward Fair Value § § SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair values. SFAS No. 159 gives companies the option to report some or all of their financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Environment and Theoretical Structure of Financial Accounting 13
Fair Value Hierarchy (SFAS 157) § Level 1 (most reliable) measures are based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. § Level 2 measures are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets. § Level 3 (least reliable) measures are based on unobservable inputs such as company’s data or assumptions.

Revenue Recognition Principle (SFAS No. 5) (-An Accrual Basis) n n n Revenue is recognized when it is earned and realized or realizable (SFAC 5, par. 83). Earned : the entity has substantially accomplished what it must do to be entitled to compensation. Realized: goods are exchanged for cash or claims. Realizable: assets received as compensation are readily convertible into cash or claims to cash (i. e. , measurable). In general, these conditions are met at time of sale (delivery) or when services are rendered (SFAC 5, par. 84). Income Measurement And Profit Analysis 16
Revenue Recognition Principle Other conditions for revenue recognition (Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101(1999)): n Persuasive evidence of a sale. n Price is fixed or determinable. n Collectibility is reasonably assured. n Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. n Income Measurement And Profit Analysis 17
Expense Recognition (Matching) Principle – An Accrual Basis n n n If revenues are recognized in a period, all related expenses should be recognized in the same period. The related expenses include: Traceable costs: The contribution of these costs (i. e. , product cots) can be traced to specific revenues, and therefore, are expensed when revenues (i. e. , sales revenue) are recognized. 18
Expense Recognition (Matching) Principle – An Accrual Basis n n Period costs: The contribution of these costs cannot be traced easily to specific revenues , and therefore, are expensed when they are consumed or occurred. (e. g. advertising exp. , interest and rent exp. ) Allocated (or estimated) costs: Expenses such as depreciation expense, bad debt expense, etc. which contributions to revenues cannot be traced. These expenses are estimated and recognized at the end of a period. 19
Matching (Expenses with Revenues) Principle • Traceable costs (i. e. , product costs) vs. nontraceable costs (i. e. , period costs): Environment and Theoretical Structure of Financial Accounting 20
