47 U. S. GAAP vs. IFRS The FASB and IASB are working together on the Financial Statement Presentation project to establish a common standard for presenting information in the financial statements. Each of the financial statements will include classifications by operating, investing, and financing activities, as well as income taxes, discontinued operations, and equity (if needed).

48 Statement of Cash Flows LO 4 Indicate the purpose of the statement of cash flows. One of the three basic objectives of financial reporting is “assessing the amounts, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows.”

49 To provide relevant information about the cash receipts and cash payments of an enterprise during a period.

55 Direct Method Under the direct method, the cash effect of each operating activity is reported directly in the statement.

56 Indirect Method By the indirect method, we arrive at net cash flow from operating activities indirectly by starting with reported net income and working backwards to convert that amount to a cash basis.

57 Information obtained from several sources: (1) comparative balance sheets, (2) the current income statement, and (3) selected transaction data. Sources of Information Preparation of the Statement of Cash Flows LO 6 Prepare a basic statement of cash flows.

Usefulness of the Statement of Cash Flows Without cash, a company will not survive. Cash flow from Operations: LO 7 Understand the usefulness of the statement of cash flows.

71 Usefulness of the Statement of Cash Flows Ratio indicates whether the company can pay off its current liabilities from its operations. A ratio near 1:1 is good.

75 Supplemental Disclosures Four types of information that are supplemental to account titles and amounts presented in the balance sheet: LO 8 Determine which balance sheet information requires supplemental disclosure.

76  Parenthetical Explanations  Notes  Cross-Reference and Contra Items  Supporting Schedules  Terminology Techniques of Disclosure LO 9 Describe the major disclosure techniques for the balance sheet.

77 RELEVANT FACTS  IFRS recommends but does not require the use of the title “statement of financial position” rather than balance sheet.  IFRS requires a classified statement of financial position except in very limited situations. IFRS follows the same guidelines as this textbook for distinguishing between current and noncurrent assets and liabilities. However under GAAP, public companies must follow SEC regulations, which require specific line items. In addition, specific GAAP standards mandate certain forms of reporting this information.  Under IFRS, current assets are usually listed in the reverse order of liquidity. For example, under GAAP cash is listed first, but under IFRS it is listed last.

78 RELEVANT FACTS  IFRS has many differences in terminology that you will notice in this textbook.  Both IFRS and GAAP require disclosures about (1) accounting policies followed, (2) judgments that management has made in the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies, and (3) the key assumptions and estimation uncertainty that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Comparative prior period information must be presented and financial statements must be prepared annually.  Use of the term “reserve” is discouraged in GAAP, but there is no such prohibition in IFRS.
