PART 1: SUMMARY LECTURE NOTES
NOTE TO REVIEWEES
These are guidelines and summarized financial accounting standards under Full PFRS which are generally the same under PFRS
for SMEs and PFRS for Small Entities. Comments in textboxes highlight provisions of PFRS SMEs and PFRS for Small Entities
which deviate from Full PFRS. Consider the following figure in determining which set of standards shall be applicable depending
on the size of an entity:
QUICK TEST: Determine the applicable financial reporting framework – (a) Full PFRS (b) PFRS for SMEs (c) PFRS for Small Entities
(d) PFRS for Small Entities or Income Tax Basis - for each of the following scenarios:
1. ABC Financing, a trust and banking company with total assets of 2.99M and total liabilities at 2.99M
2. ABC Co., a manufacturing company with total assets of 2.99M and total liabilities at 2.99M
3. XYZ Trading, a publicly traded company with total assets of 3M and total liabilities of 100M
4. XYZ Co., a merchandising company with total assts of 3M and total liabilities of 100M
5. DEF Co., a manufacturing company with total assets of 2.99M and total liabilities at 3M
6. GHI Co., a property leasing company with total assets of 100M and total liabilities at 251M
7. JKL Co., a pharmaceutical company with total assets of 350M and total liabilities at 250M

Note: if the problem indicates increase or decrease in the related balance sheet accounts, instead of the beginning and ending balances, simply
place in the beginning balance if it is net decrease (since this indicates that the beginning is higher than ending bal.) or place in the ending bal
if it is net increase (since this indicates that ending bal. is higher than the beginning bal.).
QUICK TEST: Determine the applicable financial reporting framework – (a) Full PFRS (b) PFRS for SMEs (c) PFRS for Small Entities
1. An entity whose complete set of financial statements included a Statement of Income and Retained Earnings (which included
gain on the remeasurement of PPE at the BS date under FMV Method reported in the profit/loss), a Statement of Financial
Position, a Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to Financial Statements.
2. An entity whose complete set of financial statements included a Statement of Comprehensive Income (which included an
unrealized holding gain on FA at FMV and Revaluation Surplus on PPE, both reported as components of Other Comprehensive
Income/Losses), Statement of Changes in Equity a Statement of Financial Position, a Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to
Financial Statements.
3. An entity whose complete set of financial statements included a Statement of Comprehensive Income (which included
Unrealized Holding Gain on all FA at FMV reported in the profit or loss as it is only allowed to report such in the profit or loss
and Revaluation Surplus reported as a component of Other Comprehensive Income/Losses), Statement of Changes in Equity a
Statement of Financial Position, a Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to Financial Statements.
2. CASH
FOR CASH COUNT PROBLEMS:
1. Identify the accountability:
a. If Petty Cash Fund, the accountability is the Imprest Balance per General Ledger
b. If Undeposited Collections, the accountability is total undeposited collections per books/records adjusted
further for any unrecorded collections (based on additional information of the problem)
If there is no direct information about collections per records, accountability is collections per Official
Receipts, Cash receipt vouchers or other documents evidencing collections.
3. RECEIVABLES
FOR AGING OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE PROBLEMS:
- The aging schedule should be based on and should agree with the subsidiary ledger
- The aging schedule should be adjusted first with all possible adjustments before a required allowance is
computed. Possible adjustments include:
a. Adjustment to both the GL and SL (thus to Aging)
- additional write-off of accounts
- unrecorded sale/over recorded sale; unrecorded collections
- credit balance in accounts receivable (adjusted to advances from customers)
b. Adjustment to SL only (no adjusting entry required, but Aging schedule may be adjusted)
- sales/collections already recorded in the GL but not yet in the SL
- posting errors
c. Adjustments to GL only - will not affect the aging schedule anymore (e.g. sales/collections not yet recorded by
the GL but already posted to the SL)
- The adjusted balance of the subsidiary ledger shall ultimately be the correct/adjusted balance of the accounts
receivable gross of the required allowance.
- If the general ledger ultimately does not coincide or equal to the subsidiary ledger, an additional adjustment should
be in place to correct the general ledger to equal the Adjusted Balance of the subsidiary ledger. The adjustment is
either debited or credited to SALES account
- To compute for the Bad Debt Expense for the period, the adjusted balance per computation is compared to the
unadjusted balance. (Do not forget to consider write-off of accounts receivable, recoveries of previously written-off
accounts and interim bad debt provisions, if there are any):
Allowance for Bad Debt Expense
Beginning Balance
Dr: Write-off of Receivables (including Cr: Recovery of Previous Write-off

as a result of impairment recovery, if any XX
Less: Amortized cost based on the remaining
future cash flows at original effective interest (XX)
Gain on recovery – IS* XX
Where maximum impairment recovery shall be to the extent of the Amortized cost of the
investment had there been no impairment.
BALANCE SHEET MEASUREMENT UNDER THE EXPECTED CREDIT LOSS (ECL MODEL)
Credit loss arises when a debtor fails to pay some or all of the contractual payments, including instances of late payment. IFRS 9 adopts an
expected loss model for the recognition of impairment losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and financial assets with
contractual cash flows measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The general approach, the entity recognizes the expected
loss for a financial asset in accordance with the requirements for:
STAGE 1: INITIAL RECOGNITION Entry: Subsequent interest income
As soon as a financial asset is originated, 12-month 12-Month ECL Loss/Expense XX shall remain to be based on:
credit loss is recognized in the P&L with an (PV of Estimated Credit Allowance XX Gross CV of
allowance being established. Loss*Probability of Default) Receivables*Eff. %
STAGE 2: SIGN. INC. IN CREDIT RISK AT Entry: Subsequent interest income
If the credit risk increases significantly but THE BS DATE Loss/Expense XX shall remain to be based on:

credit loss event and the resulting credit (PV of Estimated Credit (Increase from the previous Receivables*Eff. %

risk, life-time ECL is recognized.
4. INVENTORY
FOR CUT-OFF PROBLEMS:
1. Determine validity of the Sales or Purchase Transaction*
2. Determine whether Sales/AR or Purchases/AP has been recorded in the Sales or Purchases Journals.
(Based on the recording of the related sales/purchase invoice)
3. Determine whether inventories were Excluded or Included in the year-end physical count**
If it is a Valid Sale, the Receivable should be recorded, the Inventory should be excluded.
If it is not a Valid Sale, the Receivable should not be recorded, the Inventory should be included.
If it is a Valid Purchase, the Payable should be recorded, the Inventory should be included.
If it is not a Valid Purchase, the Payable should not be recorded, the Inventory should be excluded.
SALES CUT-OFF
Deliveries on/before the count date: EXCLUDED
Deliveries after the count date: INCLUDED
COUNT DATE
Receipts on/before the count date: INCLUDED Receipts after the count date: EXCLUDED
PURCHASES CUT-OFF
1. All deliveries (on sale) made on or before the count date are excluded from the count, all deliveries made after the
count date are included in the count, unless otherwise stated by the problem.
2. All receipt (on purchases) of goods on or before the count date shall be included in the count, all receipts after the
count date are excluded from the count, unless otherwise stated by the problem.

* For FIFO Average, simply disregard in the computation the cost % the beginning inventories:
Cost% = COGAS @ Cost – Beg inventory at Cost or Net Purchases @ Cost
COGAS @ Retail – Beg inventory at Retail Net Purchases @ Retail
FOR INVENTORY VALUATION PROBLEMS:
Inventories shall be valued at lower of COST or NRV:
a. COST shall be measured through
1. SPECIFIC IDENTIFICATION/Perpetual
2. FIFO/Periodic - the cost shall be computed as: (# Inventory on hand * Cost of latest purchases)
3. FIFO/Perpetual – the computation of cost shall be the same as FIFO/Periodic
4. AVE/Periodic (aka WEIGHTED AVERAGE): (# of Inventory on hand * WA unit Cost)
WA unit Cost = COGAS / # of GAS
5. AVE/Perpetual (aka MOVING AVERAGE): (# of Inventory on hand * MA unit Cost)
The average cost is recomputed after every purchase transaction. The last Moving average unit cost shall
be used for the computation of the inventory cost at year end.
b. Net realizable value shall be:
1. Finished goods/Merchandise Inventory = Est. Selling Price – Est. cost to sell
2. Work-in-process inventory = Est. Selling Price – Est. cost to complete – Est. cost to sell
3. Raw materials and Supplies – The NRV is the Current Replacement Cost (Current Purchase Price).
Written down only if the finished goods to which they are related to are also written down.
Notes:
1. The DIRECT WRITE-OFF METHOD is used in instances where the company holds inventories that are not relatively the same
from year-end to year-end. Thus, there shall be no chances to recover any loss on write-down from one year over the next.
If NRV is lower than the cost, the difference is automatically the loss on write-down for the year. (which is either added to
cost of sale or recognized as a separate loss in the statement of comprehensive income)
2. The ALLOWANCE METHOD is used in instances where the company holds inventories that are relatively the same from one
year-end to another. Thus, there shall be a possibility of recovery from inventory write-down from one year, unto the next
year. The difference between cost and NRV, where NRV is lower becomes the required allow. for inventory write-down
(similar to allow for bad debts), to determine how much is the loss during the period, the increment from the unadjusted
balance of the account shall be determined. Thus, if cost is lower the NRV, required balance is zero/nil, any
unadjusted credit balance of the account shall be recognized as gain from recovery in the income statement (or
deducted from cost of sale)

FOR MEDIUM ENTITIES (PFRS for SMEs):
Generally the same as full PFRS.
FOR SMALL ENTITIES (PFRS for Small Entities, Section 21 Impairment of Assets):
Generally the same as full PFRS with the following exceptions:
- BS Meas.: Lower of Cost or Market Value, where the difference if market value is lower recognized in the profit or loss.

FOR MEDIUM ENTITIES (PFRS for SMEs, Sec. 14: Investment in Associate)
SMEs have an option in accounting for investment in Associate between and among the following methods:
a. Equity method (almost similar to full PFRS with specific distinctions:
- Goodwill identified under equity method is treated se0parately and is amortized (if indefinite, use 10 years)
- Under equity method, accounting policies of the associate are adjusted to that of the investor (thus there will be no
recognition of the share from unrealized holding gains/losses from financial assets to other comprehensive income/loss)
b. At cost less impairment, provided there is no published price quotations for the investment.
c. At fair value with changes in fair value being recognized in the profit or loss, provided that the determination of the
investment’s fair value will not cause undue cost or effort.
FOR SMALL ENTITIES (PFRS for Small Entities, Sec. 9: Investment in Associate)
A small entity shall account for all its investment in associate using one of the following:
a. At cost less impairment. Where the asset is impaired once its recoverable amount (higher between fair value less cost to sell
and value in use) becomes lower than cost.
b. Equity method (similar to equity method applied under PFRS for SMEs)

FOR MEDUIM ENTITIES (PFRS for SMEs, Sec. 11: Financial Instruments)
Financial instruments in bonds shall be categorized as:

(b) Debt instrument classified as current, measured at undiscounted value (Cost) (unless from a financing transaction)
(c) If financing transaction, current debt instrument shall be measured at the present value of future cash flows at market rate
of interest for similar debt instrument (at Fair Value)
Financial instrument in shares shall be measured at:
(a) Fair value (if publicly traded or if FMV can otherwise be measured reliably with changes in FMV recogn. in the P/L.
(b) All other investment shall be measured at cost less impairment.
FOR SMALL ENTITIES (PFRS for Small Entites, Sec. 6: Basic Financial Instruments)
Initial Measurement:
Financial instrument in bonds and in shares shall be initial recognized at transaction price (including transaction cost), unless
arrangement constitute financing in which case the debt security shall be initially measured at present value of future cash
flows at market rate.
Balance Sheet Measurement:
Financial Instruments in bonds – at amortized cost
Financial Instrument in shares – at cost less impairment, unless shares are traded in an active market, which shall be measured
a lower of cost or fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the profit or loss.
IMPAIRMENT LOSS
An asset is impaired if only if the Carrying value is > that the Net recoverable value
* Net recoverable value is the higher between the Fair Value less Cost to Sell or the Value in use
Where: Fair Value less Cost to Sell = Estimated Selling Price – Estimated Cost to Sell
Value in use = PV of the future net cash flows from the continued use of the asset
and from its ultimate disposal using a pre-tax discount rate.
REVALUATION/APPRAISAL
A. If asset have an active market, thus FMV is readily determinable:
Fair value of Asset – Carrying Value = Revaluation Surplus (OCI)
B. If asset have no active market, thus appraisal is determined through the current replacement cost:
Replacement Cost XX - XX Original Cost
Replacement AD (XX) - (XX) Accum. Depr. on Cost
Fair Value/Sound Value XX - XX Carrying Value
Fair Value/Sound Value = Replacement cost*Condition Percent
Condition Percent = (remaining life/total life, original estimate) or
(carrying value/depreciable cost, original estimate)
FOR SMALL ENTITES (PFRS for Small Entities, Sec. 12: PPE)
Generally the same provisions with that of full PFRS except for the following:
- Balance sheet measurement - a small entity is allowed to choose between:
Cost Model – Cost less Accumulated Depreciation and Impairment (same as full PFRS)
Fair Market Value Mode – an entity shall measure the PPE at fair value at each reporting date with change in fair value
recognized in the profit or loss.
- under Sec. 19: Borrowing Cost, all borrowing cost are to be expensed as incurred
SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT
COST METHOD
- For Intangibles without definite useful life (including Goodwill): Cost net of Impairment Loss
- For Intangibles with definite useful life: Cost net of Amortization and Impairment Loss
REVALUATION METHOD (similar to PPE, except that intangibles shall only be revalued if it has an active market)

Refinancing: Generally, a currently maturing obligation must be presented as current liability. A currently maturing
obligation may be presented as a long term liability under refinancing agreement, only if:
1. The company (as of the BS date) has the option/right to refinance the liability on a long-term basis OR
2. If there is no right but the long-term refinancing agreement was completed before or at the BS date.
Note: Long-term refinancing may be thru: a) extension of maturity date for another 12 months,
b) issuance of bonds the proceeds of which is used to settle the currently maturing obligation.
Breach of Contract: Generally, if the company breaches a covenant the long-term obligation becomes
due and demandable, thus is presented as short term liability.
The obligation may still be presented as long-term only under the following conditions:
1. If the creditor agreed to give the debtor a grace period for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date AND
2. The said grace period should have been provided on or before the balance sheet date.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
1. Possible obligation whose existence is to be determined in the future contingent upon the happening of a future
event; or
2. Present obligation, but is not accrued because it is either remotely possible that economic benefits will be required
to settle the obligation and/or the amount of the obligation is not capable of being reliably measured.
Bonds issued at a Premium (Proceeds > Face Value; Effective Interest < Nominal Interest)
- premium is a transaction gain (amount received/proceed is higher than the amount to be paid/face value) to be
amortized over the remaining term of the bonds using the EFFECTIVE INTEREST METHOD.
- the amortization is deducted from the related expense – INTEREST EXPENSE
Bond Issue Costs – are deducted from net cash proceeds, thus in the process are deducted from premium or added to
discount on bonds payable (after which a new effective interest rate shall be computed)
Retirement of Bonds – if bonds are retired prior to their maturity dates, gain or loss shall be recognized in the profit or
loss (difference between the retirement price and updated amortized cost of the bonds plus accrued interest, where
applicable)
Accrued Interest – in accounting for bond issuance and retirement, consider inclusion of accrued interest specifically if
bonds were issued or retired in between interest payment dates.
CONVERTIBLE BONDS
1. ISSUANCE – Proceeds from the issuance of Convertible Bonds should be allocated between the debt component (bonds
payable) and the equity component (Share Premium form Bond Conversion Privilege) using the RESIDUAL APPROACH.
To wit, the pro-forma entry to record issuance is:
Dr: Cash XX
Dr: Discount on Bonds Payable XX (or)
Cr: Premium on Bonds Payable XX
Cr: Bonds Payable XX
Cr: Share Premium from Bonds Conv. Priv. XX
2. CONVERSION – If Convertible bonds are converted into ordinary shares, the carrying value of the bonds (updated
amortized bonds payable) shall be cancelled out. The difference between the carrying value of the bonds and the
aggregate par value of the converted shares shall be credited to share premium account. An allowed alternative is the
cancel out the equity component originally credited to share premium account upon issuance of the bonds. The same
shall be added to the amount credited to the share premium account upon conversion. To wit, the pro-forma entry to
record the conversion is:
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Dr: Bonds Payable XX Dr: Bonds Payable XX
Dr: Premium on Bonds Payable XX (or) Dr: Sh Prem from Bond Conv. Priv. XX
Cr: Discount on Bonds Payable XX Dr: Premium on Bonds Payable XX (or)
Cr: Ordinary Shares XX Cr: Discount on Bonds Payable XX
Cr: Share Premium XX Cr: Ordinary Shares XX
Cr: Share Premium XX
3. EARLY RETIREMENT – If Convertible bonds are retired prior to maturity date, the retirement price shall
be allocated between the Bonds and the equity component, consistent with how the original issue price was
allocated (Residual Approach). The difference between the retirement price of the allocated to the debt component
and the carrying value of the bonds payable shall be recognized in the income statement, while the difference
between the retirement price allocated to the equity component and the original share premium from bond
conversion privilege shall be credited to share premium account.
LEASE
LEASE – a contract of part of a contract that conveys the RIGHT TO USE an underlying asset for period of time in exchange
for a consideration.
RIGHT TO USE – right to control the use of an IDENTIFIED ASSET
IDENTIFIED ASSET – by being explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified when made available to the
customer
1. right to direct the use of an asset (how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use)
2. right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset
*LEASES ARE FINANCE LEASE ON THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE LESSEE. PFRS 16 HOWEVER PERMITS THE LESSEE TO MAKE
AN ACCOUNTING POLICY ELECTION TO APPLY OPERATING LEASE UNDER THE FOLLOWING OPTIONAL EXCEPTIONS:
1. SHORT TERM LEASE – lease term is for a period of 12 months or less. Election to be made on a per class of
underlying asset basis (similar asset of nature and use)
2. LOW VALUE LEASE – low value asset based on professional judgment and based on the value of the asset when
it was brand new regardless of its age on the lease date. Typically low value underlying assets include
computers, office furniture and equipment. Election for low value lease is made on a lease by lease basis.
OPERATING LEASE
1. Periodic Payments – recognized as rent expense over the lease term on a straight-line uniform basis unless a more
systematic method is warranted.
2. Lease Inducements – effect of lease inducement is a reduction from the periodic rent expense on a straight-line
uniform basis, unless a more systematic method is warranted
3. Lease Bonus – recognized as additional rent expense over the lease term on a uniform or straight-line basis, unless a
more systematic method is warranted
4. Contingent Rentals – recognized as additional rent expense when incurred, that is when the condition or the
contingent event occurs.
FINANCE LEASE
1. INITIAL RECOGNITION/ACQUISITION OF RIGHT OF USE ASSET ON INSTALLMENT BASIS
ENTRY: Right of Use Asset (at COST) XX
Lease Liability (1) XX
Cash (2 and 3) XX
Asset Retirement Obligation (4) XX
Where the COST of the asset shall include:
1. Present value of the Minimum Lease Payments (MLP) – Credited to LEASE LIABILITY
1.1. Periodic Payments (Fixed and Variable)
1.2. Certain Purchase Option or Guaranteed Residual Value
1.3. Additional periodic payments upon extension (if with certain extension option)
1.4. Termination penalties (if with certain termination option)
*The PV of MLP shall be based on the IMPLICIT LEASE RATE if known to both parties, otherwise, the
INCREMENTAL BORROWING RATE
LEASE – LESSOR
Leases are generally OPERATING, unless FINANCE under specific criteria/requirements under PAS 17: (1) Transfer of
ownership to lessee; (2) Bargain Purchase Option; (3) Term at least 75% of life of asset; (4) PV of minimum lease
payments (MLP) is at least 90% of the FMV of the leased asset; (5) The asset is specialized in nature that only lessee can
use with very minimal alterations.
If the lessor is the manufacturer/dealer of the asset, the lessor shall be recognizing gross profit from the lease which shall be
accounted for as SALES TYPE LEASE.
Upon sale:
DR: FINANCE LEASE RECEIVABLE XX
CR: SALES XX
Or, if payments are made in advance (at the beginning of each lease period)
DR: CASH XX
DR: FINANCE LEASE RECEIVABLE (balance) XX
CR: SALES XX
To recognize the related cost of sales:
DR: COST OF SALES XX
CR: INVENTORY/ASSET XX
a. The amount of sale shall be the fair market value of the asset sold or the present value of the minimum lease payments
(MLP), whichever is lower.
b. The minimum lease payments (MLP) shall include a) Periodic Payments and b) Bargain Purchase Option or Guaranteed
Residual Value.
c. If the residual value is not guaranteed, the same shall still be added in the determination of the Finance lease
receivable, but instead of it being added to sale, it will now be deducted from the cost of sales. The rationale is that if
the residual value is not guaranteed, that portion of the asset is not deemed sold, while it will still accrue to the benefit
of the lessor at the expiration of the lease (no transfer of ownership).
d. As a result, the gross profit to be recognized shall be the same whether the residual value is guaranteed or
unguaranteed.
If the lessor is a mere financing company (as in the case of a bank) instead of a manufacturer/dealer, the lease is under
DIRECT FINANCE LEASE. There will be no manufacturer’s profit to be recognized, instead income shall be derived merely
through interest. Upon sale:
DR: FINANCE LEASE RECEIVABLE XX
CR: ASSET XX
Or, if payments are made in advance (at the beginning of each lease period)
DR: CASH XX
DR: FINANCE LEASE RECEIVABLE (balance) XX
CR: ASSET XX
Regardless whether the lease is under sales-type or direct financing, upon periodic collection:
DR: CASH XX
CR: FINANCE LEASE REC. (Balancing fig.) XX
CR: INTEREST INCOME (CV of REC.*eff %) XX
a. The interest is computed based on the finance lease receivable balance.
b. The credit to the finance lease receivable is the balancing figure, that is the periodic collection less interest income
computed in a.
Direct lease costs incurred by the lessor shall be recognized as outright operating expense (alternatively added to cost of sales),
under Sales-type lease or are recognized as an addition to the initial investment on the lease by the lessor, under Direct finance lease
(added to the amount receivable by the lessor).
PERMANENT DIFFERENCES
a. Non-deductible expenses
o Fines, penalties, surcharges and compromise penalties for non-payment or late payment of taxes
o life insurance expense
o a portion of interest expense (20% of interest income under the CREATE LAW)
o a portion of charitable contributions expense (excess of 5% of taxable income)
o a portion of entertainment, amusement and representation expense (excess of 0.5% of net sales for
merchandising and manufacturing entities or excess of 1% of net revenue for service entities
o goodwill impairment
b. Non-taxable income
o dividend income by a domestic or resident foreign corporation from another domestic corporation
o life insurance policy settlement
o interest income subject to final tax
o royalty income subject to final tax
o gifts, bequests and devises
o gains from sale, exchange, or retirement of bonds (Long-term – 5 yrs.)
TEMPORARY DIFFERENCES
FUTURE DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNTS (FDAAB)
- Amounts that are deductible for tax purposes in the future. These items are not yet deductible from current income,
thus are being added back to financial income to determine taxable income.
- Future deductible amounts create deferred tax asset (in the balance sheet) and deferred tax benefit (deducted from
current tax expense in determining the total tax expense in the income statement)
- Generally includes the following:
o Accrued expenses – deducted only upon payment in the future.
o Unearned income – taxed upon collection, thus are taxable in the current period but are not yet recognized
as income for financial accounting purposes. (no longer taxable in the future, thus are deductible in the
future)
o Excess financial depreciation over tax depreciation.
o Excess taxable income over financial income
o Bad debts (under allowance method) – deductible upon write-off in the future.
o Impairment losses (other than on goodwill)
FUTURE TAXABLE AMOUNTS (FTALE)
- Amounts that are taxable for tax purposes in the future. These items are not yet taxable in the current period, thus
are being deducted from financial income to determine taxable income.
- Future taxable amounts create deferred tax liabilities (in the balance sheet) and deferred tax expense (added to the
current tax expense in determining the total tax expense in the income statement)
- Generally includes the following:
o Accrued income – taxed only upon collection in the future.
o Prepaid expenses – deductible upon payment, thus are already deductible in the current period for tax
purposes. (no longer deductible in the future, thus are taxable in the future)
o Excess tax depreciation over financial depreciation
o Excess financial income over taxable income
B. DEFINED BENEFIT – under a defined benefit plan, what is defined, that is what has been agreed upon with the
employees, shall be the final amount the employee will be able to receive in the future upon their retirement. The
amount is usually based on a certain percentage of the final salary of the employee on their retirement date multiplied
by the number of years the employee has been in service. (%*Final Salary*#of years in service). The future amount
to be settled upon retirement, where funded, shall be paid through the employees retirement fund (plan asset) which
the company funds through the periodic contribution.
In a defined benefit plan, contribution to the employees retirement fund is separately accounted for in a separate
memorandum account, PLAN ASSET (PA), to account for any income that it may earn (reduction from pension expense,
since it will accrue to the benefit of the company). The accumulated benefit obligation is also maintained in a separate
memorandum account, ACCUMULATED BENEFIT OBLIGATION (ABO), to monitor the balance of the benefits earned by
the employees (incurred by the company). The difference between these two memorandum accounts will actually be
the year-end Accrued Pension Expense (ABO>PA) or Prepaid Pension (PA>ABO).

agreement with employees.
Where **Required Expense shall be computed as
follows:
Service Cost XX
Net Interest Expense/(Income) X(X)
Net Remeasurement Loss(Gain) X(X)
Total XX
SERVICE COST
Service cost shall comprise the (1) current service cost, (2) past service cost, (3) settlement gain or loss. Service cost is a
component of pension expense recognized in the profit or loss.
CURRENT SERVICE COST - This is the increase in accumulated benefits obligation (ABO) for the current period due to
the services of employees for the current year.
PAST SERVICE COST - This is the increase in the accumulated benefits obligation (ABO) in the current period due to
the services of employees in the past years. This results from introduction of significant changes in the defined contribution
plan during the year. As for instance the, increase in the agreed percentage of final salary (e.g. from 10% to 20%) as a basis
for the computation of the defined benefit will result to substantial increase in the obligation for the current period, not only
due to services of the current year but also for the services in the previous years. Whether vested immediately or not vested
immediately, past service cost is immediately recognized as a component of service cost and pension expense for the current
year.
SETTLEMENT GAIN OR LOSS - This result from the difference between an obligation’s settlement price (retirement
benefits actually paid to retiring employees) against the carrying value of the accumulated benefit obligation being settled.
One possible reason for such difference would be when the company offers early retirement plans to employees. To
encourage employees to take advantage of early retirement offers, the company usually offers to settle retirement plans at
amounts which are significantly higher that that earned by the employee (thus leading to a possible loss on the said
settlement).
Like any liabilities, the accumulated benefit obligation increases periodically due to interest incurred. Interest incurred on the
ABO shall be recognized as a component of pension expense in the profit or loss.
The expected return on the plan asset on the other hand, shall be the interest income on the plan asset. The interest income
rate shall be assumed to be equal to the settlement or discount rate used to determine the interest expense on the ABO. The
interest income on the plan asset shall be recognized as a reduction from pension expense in the profit or loss.
The net interest expense (income) is also effectively, the interest expense (income) on the beginning balance of the accrued
pension expense (ABO>PA) or the prepaid pension expense (PA>ABO).
REMEASUREMENT LOSS (GAIN) ON PLAN ASSET - At year end, the employees retirement fund (plan asset) shall be
remeasured at fair market value. As a result any difference between the plan asset’s current fair market value and carrying
value shall be recognized as actuarial loss (gain).
PLAN ASSET
Beginning Balance XX
Contribution to the plan XX XX Settlement price to retirees
Interest income on the plan asset XX
Actuarial gain (squeeze) or XX XX Actuarial loss (squeeze)
Ending Balance (at Fair Value) XX
The actuarial gain/loss is actually the difference between the actual return on the plan asset and the
expected return on the plan asset (interest income on the plan asset).
REMEASUREMENT LOSS (GAIN) ON ACCUMULATED BENEFIT OBLIGATION - At year end, the accumulated benefit
obligation is determined by computing the present value of the projected benefits earned by employees using an appropriate
assumed settlement rate. The difference between the computed present vale of projected benefits and the accumulated
benefit obligations’ carrying value shall be the actuarial loss (gain).
EFFECT OF THE ASSET CEILING - If the fair market value of the plan asset at year-end is higher than the present
value of the projected benefits (PA>ABO), the prepaid pension expense is tested for asset ceiling (tested for possible
impairment), before the same is set-up as prepayment at year end. The ASSET CEILING shall be the sum of the present value
of any expected future benefits from over-funding the benefit obligation (usually in the form of reduction in future
contribution or future refunds). If the asset ceiling is higher than the prepaid pension (PA – ABO) there is no loss. If the
asset ceiling however is lower that the prepaid pension (PA – ABO) the prepaid pension is written-down to the ceiling and
additional loss shall be recognized as a component of pension expense as other comprehensive income/loss.
FOR MEDIUM ENTITIES (PFRS for SMESs, Sec. 28, Employee Benefits)
Generally the same provisions with that full PFRS except:
- A medium entity may elect to report the remeasurement/actuarial gain or loss from plan asset and accumulated benefit
obligation either in the profit or loss or in other comprehensive income or losses.
FOR SMALL ENTITIES (PFRS for Small Entities, Sec. 22, Employee Benefits)
- An entity should account for the post-employment benefit plan using the accrual approach by calculating the expected liability
as of reporting date using the current salary rate of the employees and the employee’s years of service, without consideration
of future changes in salary rates and service periods. The entity shall recognize the liability for such post-employment benefit
plan at the net total of (1) the accrued amount of the retirement benefits at the reporting date; less (2) the fair value of plan
asset (if any) at the reporting date out of which the obligations are to be settled directly.
QUICK TEST:
A reporting entity has 5 employees all employed 5 years ago as at the beginning of the current reporting period. Each employee has an
average current salary rate at P20,000 per month as of the current reporting period. The agreement with the labor union (under a defined
benefit obligation plan) included an agreement to pay each employee 50% of their final monthly salary for each year of service upon
retirement. The company estimates a 20% annual increase in salaries. The employees are expected to retire in 4 years as at the end of the
current reporting period. The settlement rate is assumed at 10%. The fair market value of the Plan Asset as at the end of the year is
P250,000.
1. Assuming the entity uses the Full PFRS, what is the accrued pension as to be reported in the SFP as at the end of the reporting
period?
a) P372,080 b) P217,378 c) P174,889 d) P50,000
2. Assuming the entity uses PFRS for SMEs, being a medium entity, what is the accrued pension to be reported in the SFP as at the
end of the reporting period?
a) P372,080 b) P217,378 c) P174,889 d) P50,000
3. Assuming the entity uses PFRS for Small Entities, what is the accrued pension to be reported in the SFP as at the end of the
reporting period?
a) P372,080 b) P217,378 c) P174,889 d) P50,000

9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
SHARE ISSUE
1. Issuance of Share Capital for Cash – Preference or ordinary shares are credited equal to par and the excess to additional
paid in capital.
Share Issuance Costs – include registration fees, underwriter commissions, legal fees, accounting fees, share
certificate cost, promotional costs and postage.
Generally, For subsequent issuances – charged to APIC relative to that particular issue.
For initial issuance – charged to Organization Expense
Issuance of Preference and Ordinary Shares for a Lump-sum Price – This is accounted as follows:
a. If preference are effectively equity securities, use pro-rata approach in reference to the aggregate market value
of preference and ordinary shares.
b. If preference are effective debt securities (e.g. redeemable), use residual approach assigning the fair value of
the preference shares first with the residual value assigned to the ordinary shares.
2. Issuance of Share Capital on a Subscription Basis – The agreed purchase price is debited to Subscriptions Receivable,
Share Capital Subscribed is credited at par and the difference is credited to APIC. Upon full payment, the Share
Capital Subscribed is closed to Issued Share Capital.
3. Issuance of Share Capital for Non-cash Consideration (PFRS 2)
Noncash consideration (Asset or Services) received shall be valued at their fair value, unless the
fair value of shares are more clearly determinable (as when the shares are traded in the market).
If the non-cash consideration received are in the form of employee services (e.g. Options), the fair value of services
received shall be based on the fair value of the equity security issued.
4. Issuance of Share Capital in settlement of a liability:
a. Under normal credit terms – accounted for as equity conversion and shall not result to gain or loss reported
in the profit or loss (e.g. conversion of a convertible bonds)
b. Under debt restructuring agreement (Equity Swap) – as if the shares are issued at prevailing fair market
value, and as if the assumed issue price (fair market value of shares) becomes the retirement price of the
liability. As a result: FMV of Shares – CV of Liability = Gain/Loss on debt restructuring (profit or loss)
TREASURY SHARES
- Acquisition of Treasury Shares, use cost model
Treasury Stock at cost XX
Cash XX
- Sale of Treasury Shares – When treasury shares are reissued, the journal entry is:
a. Sold at a price higher than the cost, resulting in a “capital gain”
Cash XX
Treasury shares (at cost) XX
APIC from TS Transactions XX
If Original Issue Price (carrying value) < Cost of TS: “capital loss”
Ordinary shares (at par) XX
Paid in Capital in Excess of Par (from orig. issue/pro-rata) XX
(1) Paid in Capital from Treasury Shares Transactions XX
(2) Retained Earnings XX
Treasury Shares (at Cost) XX
- Restrictions of Retained Earnings for Treasury Shares – has to appropriate Retained Earnings equal to the
balance of its treasury shares. (Appropriation = cost of TS)
Cash Dividend
Number of shares outstanding and subscribed * (% of cash dividend*PAR per share)
Property Dividend (IFRIC 17)
• An entity should measure the dividend payable at Fair value of the assets to be distributed.
• At the end of each reporting period and at the date of settlement, the entity shall review and adjust the carrying
amount of the dividend payable (restate at fair value), with any changes in the amount of the dividend payable
recognized in equity (retained earnings) as adjustments to the amount of the distribution.
• Upon distribution, an entity should recognize the difference between the dividend payable and the carrying amount of
the asset distributed in the profit or loss.
Stock Dividends or Capitalization or Bonus Issue
An ordinary stock dividend is a stock dividend of the same class; i.e., ordinary shares to ordinary shareholders. A special
stock dividend is a stock dividend of a different class; i.e., preference shares to ordinary shareholders.
a) less than 20% of the shares previously outstanding and subscribed, the stock dividend is termed small, in which case
the amount to be charged to retained earnings is equal to its current market value.
b) at least 20% of the shares previously outstanding and subscribed, the stock dividend is termed large in which case the
amount charged against Retained Earnings is equal to par value.
Scrip Dividends
A corporation may declare a scrip dividend by issuing promissory notes called scrip. This arises when the corporation may
have adequate retained earnings to meet the legal dividend requirements but has insufficient funds to disburse. If the
promissory note bears interest, this is charged to Interest Expense.
