PHILIPPINE FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
1. IFRS=PFRS 2. IAS = PAS 3. IC = PI
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING CHAPTER 2
ACCOUNTING ASSUMPTIONS/ POSTULATES are the basic notions or fundamental premises on which the accounting process is based.
The conceptual framework for financial reporting only mentions one assumption, GOING CONCERN.
4 BASIC ASSUMPTIONS 1.GOING CONCERN
Means that in the absence of evidence in the contrary, the accounting entity is viewed as continuing in operation indefinitely.
2. ACCOUNTING ENTITY
The entity is separate from the owners, managers and employees who constitute the entity.
To have fair presentation of financial statements.
3. TIME PERIOD
Requires that the indefinite life of an entity is subdivided into time periods or accounting periods which are usually of equal length for the purpose of preparing financial reports on financial position, performance and cash flows.
Calendar year - 12 month period that ends on December 31
Natural business year – 12 month period that ends on any month when the business is at the lowest or experiencing slack season. 4. MONETARY UNIT
2 aspects – quantifiability and stability of peso.
QUANTIFIABILITY ASPECT – The assets, liabilities, equity, income, and expenses should
be stated in terms of a unit of measure which is the PESO IN THE PHILIPPINES.
STABILITY OF THE PESO ASSUMPTION – the purchasing power of the pesos stable or constant and that its instability is insignificant and therefore may be ignored.
STABLE PESO POSTULATE – an amplification of the going concern assumption so much so that adjustments are unnecessary to reflect any changes in purchasing power.
ACCOUNTING FUNCTION
To account for nominal pesos only and no for constant peso or changes in purchasing power.
PAS 16
an entity shall choose either the cost model or revaluation model as an accounting policy to an entire class of ppe.
Conceptual framework for financial reporting is promulgated by the IASB CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK – is the summary of the terms and concepts that underlie the preparation and presentations of financial statements for external users.
Purposes of conceptual framework
1. To assist the FRSC in developing accounting standards that will represent the Philippines GAAP
2. To assist preparers of financial statements in applying accounting standards and in dealing with issues not yet covered by GAAP
3. To assist the FRSC in review and adoption of IFRS
4. To assist auditors in forming an opinion as to whether financial statements conform with Philippine GAAP
5. To provide information to those interested in the work of the FRSC in the formulation of PFRS USERS OF FINANCIASL INFORMATION
1.
PRIMARY USERS
The parties to whom general purpose financial reports are primarily directed.
Include the existing and potential investors, lenders and other creditors.
INVESTORS – need information to help them determine whether they should buy, hold, or sell.
SHAREHOLDERS – need information to assess the ability of the entity to pay
dividends.
LENDERS and CREDITORS – need information to determine whether their loan, interest thereon and other amounts owing to them will be paid when due.
2. OTHER USERS
Are users of financial information other than the existing and potential investors, lenders and other creditors.
Include the employees, customers, government and their agencies, and the public.
EMPLOYEE – needs information about the stability and profitability of the entity to assess the ability of the entity to provide remuneration, retirement benefits and employment opportunities.
CUSTOMERS - need information about the continuance of an entity especially when they have a long term involvement with or are dependent on the entity.
GOVERNMENT AND THEIR AGENCIES – need information to regulate the activities of the entity, determine taxation policies and as a basis for national income and similar statistics.
PUBLIC – providing information about the trend and the range of its activities. FINANCIAL REPORTING
The provision of financial information about an entity to external users that is useful to them in making economic decisions and for assessing the effectiveness of the entity’s management.
Objective of financial reporting
To provide financial information about the reporting entity that is useful to existing and potential investors, lenders and other creditors in making decisions about providing resources to the entity.
Financial position – information about the entity’s economic resources and the claims against the reporting entity.
LIQUIDITY - the availability of cash in the near future to cover currently maturing obligations. SOLVENCY – the availability of cash over a long term to meet financial commitments when they fall due.

*income recognized when earned *expense recognized when incurred
Financial Accounting chapter 3
QUALITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS are the qualities or attributes that make financial accounting information useful to the users. Fundamental qualitative characteristics
1. Relevance
The capacity of the information to influence a decision.
Financial information has PREDICTIVE VALUE if it can be used as an input to
processes employed by users to predict future outcome.
Financial information has
CONFIRMATORY VALUE if it provides feedback about previous evaluations.
MATERIALITY or doctrine of
convenience is a practical Rule in accounting which dictates that strict Adherence to GAAP is not required when the items are not significant enough to affect evaluation, decision and fairness of the financial statements.
2. Faithful representation
Financial reports represent economic phenomena or transactions in words or numbers
INGREDIENTS OF FAITHFUL REPRESENTATION
A. COMPLETENESS
Requires that relevant information
should be presented in a way that facilitates understanding and avoids erroneous
implications.
STANDARD OF ADEQUATE DISCLOSURE
Disclosure of any financial facts significant enough to influence the judgment of informed users.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Provide narrative description or disaggregation of the items presented in the financial statements and information about items that do not qualify for recognition.
B.
NEUTRALITY or PRINCIPLE OF FAIRNESS
The information contained in the
financial statements must be free from bias. C.
FREE FROM ERROR
There are no errors or omissions in the description of the phenomenon or
transaction, and the process used to
produce the reported information has been selected and applied with no errors in the process.
SUBSTANCE OVER FORM
If information is to represent faithfully the transactions and other events it purports to represent, it is necessary that transactions and events are accounted in accordance with their
substance and reality and not merely their legal form.
CONSERVATISM
In case of doubt, record any loss and do not record any gain.
CONTINGENT LOSS – recognized as a provision if the loss is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
CONTINGENT GAIN – not recognized but disclosed only.
PRUDENCE
The desire to exercise care and caution with dealing with the uncertainties in the measurement process such that assets or income are not overstated and liabilities or expenses are not understated.
ENHANCING QUALITATIVE CHARACTERISTICS
Relate to the presentation and from of financial statements. Intended to increase the usefulness of the financial information that is relevant and faithfully represented.
a. COMPARABILITY
The ability to bring together for the purpose of noting points of likeness and difference.
COMPARABILITY WITHIN AN ENTITY or HORIZONTAL COMPARABILITY or
INTRACOMPARABILITY
The quality of information that allows
comparisons within a single entity through time or from one accounting period to the next.
COMPARABILITY BETWEEN AND ACROSS ENTITIES or DIMENSIONAL
COMPARABILITY or INTERCOMPARABILITY The quality of information that allows comparisons between two are more entities engaged in the same industry.
CONSISTENCY
The accounting methods and practices should be applied on a uniform basis from period to period.
b. UNDERSTANDABILITY
Financial information must be
comprehensible or intelligible if it is to be most useful.
c. VERIFIABILITY
Different knowledgeable and
independent observers could reach consensus, although not necessarily complete agreement, that a particular depiction is a faithful representation. DIRECT VERIFICATION – verifying an amount or other representation through direct observation.
INDIRECT VERIFICATION – checking the inputs to a model, formula or other technique and recalculating the inputs using the same methodology.
d. TIMELINESS
Financial information must be available or communicated early enough when a decision is to be made.
COST CONSTRAINT
Cost – a pervasive constraint on the information that can be provided by financial reporting.

EQUITY is the residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of the liabilities. RECOGNITION OF ELEMENTS
