 Understandability (information: not incomplete; not too much. User: reasonable knowledge of business; diligent)
 Reliability (free from error; true & fair view; substance over form; prudent; neutral; complete)
 Comparability (consistent basis)

Materiality: information is material if its omission or misstatement could influence the economic decision of users taken on
the basis of financial statements. Materiality depends on the size and nature of omission or misstatements.

True & fair view: means faithful representation of the effects of transactions.

Substance over form: transactions are recorded and presented in accordance with the substance & economic reality and not
merely their legal form. Example: Finance lease

Measurement means: the amount at which elements are recognized in balance sheet and income statement

Elements of financial statements are measured at 5 different ways:

 Historical cost: assets are recorded at the amount expected to be given at the time of acquisition and liabilities are
recorded at the amount expected to be paid on the date of liability occurred.
 Current cost: assets are recorded at the amount of the same asset if acquired currently and liabilities are recorded at
the amount if the liability settled currently.
 Realizable value/ settlement value: assets are recorded at the settlement value after disposal of existing asset and
liabilities are recorded at their settlement value i.e. amount to be paid in normal course of business.
 Present value: assets are recorded at discounted value of future cash inflows and liabilities are recorded at discounted
value of future cash outflow.
 Fair value: fair value is the amount for which assets could be exchanged or liabilities could be settled between
knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.

4. Business entity concept

Business entity concept means- a business is a separate legal entity from its owner. A company may, in its own name, acquire
asets, incur debts, and enter into contracts. If a company’s assets became insuffient to meet its liabilities, the company as a
separate entity becomes ‘insolvent’. However, the owners of the company are not usually required to pay the debts from their
own private resources.

Exception: the concept is not applicable for “Sole tradership” and “Partnership” business.

 ACCOUNTING CONCEPTS & CONVENTIONS

Sl. Topic list Reference

1. BAS Framework Main standard
2. BAS-1 Main standard
3. BAS-8 Main standard

1. ACCOUNTING ASSUMPTIONS

sl. BAS-Framework BAS-1

1. Accrual basis Accrual basis
2. Going concern Going concern
3. - Consistency
4. - Materiality & Aggregation
5. - Off-setting
6. - Comparative information
7. Prudence
8. Substance over form
9. Neutrality
10. Completeness

 Accrual basis:
Under this basis, the effects of transactions and other events are recognized when they occur and nor as cash or
its equivalent is received or paid and they are recorded in the accounting records and reported in the financial
statement of the periods to which they relate.
Example:

 Costs only recognized for that part which is sold (COGS concept comes from accrual basis accounting)
 Provisions maintained
 Accruals of various expenses
 Depreciation

Linked with matching concept:

According to the matching concept, when computing profit, income earned must be matched against the
expenditure incurred in earning it

Linked with going concern assumption:

While it is assumed that company will not run in future, financial statements will be prepared on break-up value
i.e. net realizable value (sales price less selling expenses) basis rather than accrual basis of accounting.

 Going concern:
Under this assumption it is assumed that an entity will continue its operation for the foreseeable future (12 months
from balance sheet date). It is also assumed that the enterprise has neither the intention nor the necessity of
liquidation or of curtailing materially the scale of its operations.

Accounting treatment, while going concern is not appropriate:

All items in the balance sheet and profit and loss accounts shall be recorded on break-up value basis i.e. net
realizable value (sales price less selling expenses).

Prepared by:
Mohammad Shahidul Islam MBA, ACA
13
Disclosure requirement in case of going concern problem:
a) Basis on which financial statements have been prepared
b) Reasons why the entity is not considered to be a going concern
c) Nature of the uncertainty

Example:
Indications of going concern assumption: (BSA-570: Going Concern)
Financial  Negative operating cash flows
 Adverse key financial ratios
 Substantial operating losses
 Arrears in discontinuance of operations
 Inability to pay creditors
 Change from credit to cash-on-delivery transaction with suppliers
 Withdrawal of financial support by debtor and creditor
 Negative current assets
Operating  Loss of key management without replacement
 Loss of major market
 Cancellation of license/franchise etc.
 Labor difficulties or shortage of important suppliers
Other  Non-compliance of capital or other statutory requirement
 Changes in legislation

 Consistency:
Items in the financial statements shall be presented and classified consistently year to year. However, in some
cases presentation/classification can be re-arranged.
a) Significant change in nature of operation
b) Change will result clear understanding to user
c) Change in presentation is required by any BAS

Disclosure requirement for inconsistency:

Reason for re-arrangement shall be disclosed by way of notes. Previous year’s figures shall also be re-arranged.

 Materiality & Aggregation:

Each material item should be presented separately in the financial statement. Immaterial amounts should be
aggregated with amount of similar nature or function.

Materiality depends on the size and nature of business. There is no specific rule for calculating materiality.
However, following rule for calculating materiality can be suggested:
Thumb rule 5% of profit before tax
Companies Act 1994 any amount exceeding 1% of total revenue or Tk. 5,000 whichever is higher, shall
be shown in distinct head in the financial statements

 Off-setting:

 Assets and liabilities should not be off-set except when off-setting is required by another BAS (Example:
BAS-12);
 Income and expenses should only be off-set if standard permits and if the figure is immaterial.
Prepared by:
Mohammad Shahidul Islam MBA, ACA
14
Following items are permitted by BAS-1 for off-setting:
a) Gain or losses on disposal of non-current assets
b) Foreign currency translation gain or losses
c) Extraordinary items

 Comparative information:

To ensure comparability, comparative information should be given in the financial statements. BAS requires
numerical information and narrative information as comparative figure. Comparative for the year ended 31
December 2009 shall be presented as below:

Particulars 2009 2008

(Taka) (Taka)

 Prudence
Degree of caution in exercise of the judgments needed in making the management estimates. Examples of
estimates are:
 Estimate of useful life of assets to calculate depreciation
 Provision for doubtful loss (example: Receivable may not be collected)
 Inventory allowance/ obsolescence allowance
 Deferred tax
 Provision for warranty claim
 Accrued revenue
 Provision for loss from a lawsuit

 Substance over form

 Neutrality
 Completeness

PRACTICAL PROBLEM
Provision on bad debt depends on accounting policy of a Company
Inventory (Accounting policy)
Inventories except inventories in transit are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of
inventories is based on the first-in first-out principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories,
production or conversion costs are other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of
completion and selling expenses.
