Financial Reporting Challenges
Ethics in the Environment of Financial Accounting
Companies that concentrate on “maximizing the bottom
line,” “facing the challenges of competition,” and
“stressing short-term results” place accountants in an
environment of conflict and pressure.
IFRS does not always provide an answer.
Doing the right thing is not always easy or obvious.
Slide

LO 7 Describe the challenges facing financial reporting.
Financial Reporting Challenges
International Convergence
In 2002 the IASB and the FASB formalized their commitment
to the convergence of U.S. GAAP and international
standards. The Boards agreed to:
1. Make their existing financial reporting standards fully
converged as soon as practicable, and
2. Coordinate their future work programs to ensure that
once achieved, convergence is maintained.
Slide

LO 7 Describe the challenges facing financial reporting.
Financial Reporting Challenges
Review Question
The expectations gap is:
a. what financial information management provides and
what users want.
b. what the public thinks accountants should do and what
accountants think they can do.
c. what the governmental agencies want from standardsetting and what the standard-setters provide.
d. what the users of financial statements want from the
government and what is provided.
Slide
1-36
LO 7 Describe the challenges facing financial reporting.
Slide
1-37

The fact that there are differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP
should not be surprising because standard-setters have developed
standards in response to different user needs.

IFRS tends to be simpler and more flexible in its accounting and
disclosure requirements.

The U.S. SEC recently eliminated the need for foreign companies
that trade shares in U.S. markets to reconcile their accounting with
U.S. GAAP.

Measurement
Cost is generally thought to be a faithful representation of the
amount paid for a given item.
Fair value is “the amount for which an asset could be exchanged,
a liability settled, or an equity instrument granted could be
exchanged, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s
length transaction.”
IASB has taken the step of giving companies the option to use fair
value as the basis for measurement of financial assets and
financial liabilities.

Summary of
the Structure
Chapter
2-30

The existing conceptual frameworks underlying U.S. GAAP and IFRS
are very similar.

The converged framework should be a single document, unlike the two
conceptual frameworks that presently exist.

Both the IASB and FASB have similar measurement principles, based
on historical cost and fair value. However, U.S. GAAP has a concept
statement to guide estimation of fair values when market-related data is
not available (Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 7,
“Using Cash Flow Information and Present Value in Accounting”). The
IASB is considering a proposal to provide expanded guidance on
estimating fair values.

Internal controls are a system of checks and balances designed to
prevent and detect fraud and errors. Both of these actions are
required under SOX.

Companies find that internal control review is a costly process. One
study estimates the cost for U.S. companies at over $35 billion,
with audit fees doubling in the first year of compliance.

The enhanced internal control standards apply only to large public
companies listed on U.S. exchanges. There is continuing debate over
whether foreign issuers should have to comply.
Most companies use accrual-basis accounting
 recognize revenue when it is earned and
 expenses in the period incurred,
without regard to the time of receipt or payment of cash.
Under the strict cash basis, companies
 record revenue only when they receive cash, and
 record expenses only when they disperse cash.
Cash basis financial statements are not in conformity with IFRS.

Theoretical Weaknesses of the Cash Basis
Today’s economy is considerably more lubricated by credit than
by cash.
The accrual basis, not the cash basis, recognizes all aspects of
the credit phenomenon.
Investors, creditors, and other decision makers seek timely
information about an enterprise’s future cash flows.

Before issuing the report for the year ended December 31, 2012, you
discover a $50,000 error (net of tax) that caused 2011 inventory to be
overstated (overstated inventory caused COGS to be lower and thus net
income to be higher in 2011). Would this discovery have any impact on
the reporting of the Statement of Retained Earnings for 2012?

Presentation of the income statement under U.S. GAAP follows either a
single-step or multiple-step format. IFRS does not mention a single-step
or multiple-step approach. In addition, under U.S. GAAP, companies
must report an item as extraordinary if it is unusual in nature and
infrequent in occurrence. Extraordinary items are prohibited under
IFRS.

Under IFRS, companies must classify expenses by either nature or
function. U.S. GAAP does not have that requirement, but the U.S. SEC
requires a functional presentation.
