Solution to question 1  (a)  What are Accounting Standards and describe the objectives of these standards. 

 Accounting standards are a set of rules that describe how an item in financial accounting is treated and calculated and how accounts should be prepared and presented.  The objective of accounting standards is to regulate the accounting profession and to provide guidance to both  accounting  practitioners  and  users  of  financial  information  about  how  contentious and difficult areas should be treated.  Accounting  standards  are  issued  by  a  national  or  international  body  of  the  accounting profession and are intended to apply to all financial accounts which are intended to give a true  and  fair  view  of  the  financial  position  and  profit/loss  of  an  entity.    Standards  are detailed  working  regulations  within  the  framework  of  government  legislation  and  they cover areas in which the law is silent. 

  (b)          Standard setting process                  The standard setting process involves six steps and a consultation process which involves interested parties and organisations from around the world.  The six steps are discussed below:  

1. Setting the agenda  

This step in the process involves deciding on what area in financial accounting needs to be addressed through a standard.   When deciding  if an  item should be added to  the agenda the IASB considers the following factors:  i. the relevance of the information to users ii. the reliability of the information which would be provided iii. existing guidance in the area iv. whether  the  new  item  increases  the  possibility  of  convergence  and  resource constraints. 

 2. Planning the project 

 Once an  item has been added to  the agenda the next decision to be made  is whether  the IASB should undertake the project alone or in conjunction with another body such as the ASB in Ireland or the UK.  Once this has been determined a project team is assembled. 

 3. Developing and publishing the discussion paper 

 The purpose of a discussion paper is to solicit early comment from interested parties in an effort  to  ensure  all  issues  are  identified  and  discussed.    A  discussion  paper will  usually contain the following elements:  i. a detailed overview of the issue stating why a standard is required in this area ii. different potential approaches for dealing with the issue iii. preliminary views of the IASB on dealing with the issue, and iv. an invitation to comment on the issue.

Advanced Financial Accounting Sample Paper 2  Page 15 of 27 

4. Developing and publishing the exposure draft  

Once  the  IASB  has  received  and  discussed  all  comments  received  a  draft  standard  is prepared detailing a specific proposal for dealing with the issue.  The draft standard is then issued to interest parties for consideration and comment. 

 5. Developing and publishing the standard 

 Once  the exposure  draft  has  been  issued  comments will  be  received by  the  IASB on  the proposed  treatment.    The  IASB  may  then  decide  that  it  is  satisfied  with  the  proposed treatment and a draft IFRS is drawn up.  This draft IFRS is referred to as a pre‐ballot draft.  The pre‐ballot draft is normally subjected to external review which is usually undertaken by IFRIC.  IASB members are then balloted and if the ballot is in favour of the publication of the standard then the IFRS is issued.  Where the IASB is not satisfied that it is in a position to agree on the proposed treatment then a second exposure draft may be issued suggesting a revised treatment of the item in question.  

 6. After the standard is issued  

The process is not complete once the standard is issued.  At this stage the IASB hold further meetings with interested parties in order to understand any unanticipated issues relating to the practical application of the standard. 

 Transparency within the process  

 As can be seen from the above discussion throughout the process public consultation is either invited or considered.  It is not possible for an accounting standard to be issued without taking on board comments from interested parties.  This avoids the situation whereby the process becomes a pure academic exercise and ensures that the practical application is considered, understood and provided for.

Solution to question 4  To  :  The Directors From  :  A. Accountant Date  :  XX/MM/YY Subject  :  Accounting treatment of government grants   A. Accounting treatment  The  grants  which  have  been  approved  for  the  new  production  facility  fall  into  two  distinct categories:  1. Revenue based grant – the grant for training costs 2. Capital based grant – the grant for plant  The above two grants are treated differently for accounting purposes.  IAS 20 provides that:  (i) Revenue  based  grants  are  to  be  credited  to  revenue  in  the  period  in which  the 

related revenue expenditure has been incurred and, where actual amounts are not known for certain, appropriate estimates must be made; and 

(ii) Capital based grants on the other hand are to be credited to revenue over the life of the related non‐current asset by either: i. Reducing the cost of the asset by the full amount of the grants; or ii. Treating  the  amount  of  the  grant  as  deferred  credit,  a  portion  of  which  is 

transferred to revenue annually.  Where this method is used the amount of the deferred  credit,  if material,  should  be  shown  separately  in  the  statement  of financial position and separate from shareholders’ funds. 

 Where there is a contingent liability to repay any grants received this must be disclosed by way of note to the accounts.  B. Recommendations  As  far  as  the  company  is  concerned,  I  recommend  that  the  following  accounting  policies  be adopted:  Training grants – these grants be credited to revenue as they are due; and Grants  on  plant  –  these  grants  be  treated  as  deferred  credits  and  disclosed  separately  in  the statement  of  financial  position  under  the  heading  ‘Government  Grants’  and  allocated  to  the statement of comprehensive income over the life of the asset using the same rates of depreciation as applied to the relevant assets.  C. Accounting policies  The notes to the accounts of CARTER Limited should include the following:  (i)  Grants  receivable  on  additions  to  non‐current  assets  are  credited  to  the  Government 

Grants  Account  and  are  allocated  to  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income  over  the estimated useful lives of the assets concerned.  Revenue based grants are credited directly to the statement of comprehensive income in the year in which they become due.
