It has demonstrated the ability to refinance.and© 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.The ability to refinance is an unconditional right at the financial year-end granted by the lender to defer settlement for at least twelve months. And it can be demonstrated by an: existing refinancing agreement, or actual refinancing at the financial year-endShort-Term Obligations Expectedto be RefinancedForm of RefinancingThe specific form of the long-term refinancing is irrelevant when determining the appropriate classification – however the arrangement must be with the lenderEvents after Year EndUnder IFRS, events (i.e. refinancing) occurring after the financial year end, but before the financial statements are issued, can be used to clarify the nature of financial statement elements at the reporting dateThere are discussions between IASB and FASB to change the definition of “short term” to mean “within one year”, regardless of the length of the reporting period.© 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.Contingent LiabilitiesA contingent liability is recorded for (1) a possible obligation; or (2) a present obligation with future outflows that are not probable or cannot be reliably measured.The uncertainties relate to:The existence of the obligation or The probability/amount of outflow© 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.ContingenciesA contingent liability is never accrued, but is only disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements: The reporting entity must: Describe the nature of the contingent liability, and Provide an estimate of the financial effect, And if practicable Indicate the uncertainties relating to the amount and timing of the outflows, and State the possibility of any reimbursement. Note that the cause of the uncertainty must occur before the financial statement date.© 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.ProvisionsA provision is a liability as it has all the three characteristics of a one.(1) past obligating event has occurred(2) present obligation that leads to a (3) future outflow of benefits.The only uncertainties are:Timing, andAmount of the future outflow of benefitsDifferent from a contingent liabilityNo uncertainty in the existence of the obligationThere is a probable outflow© 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.ProvisionsProvisions are not “off balance sheet”They are recognized if the three conditions below are metAn entity has present obligation that arises as a result of a past eventIt is probable that an outflow of resources will be required the settle the obligationA reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligationPresent ObligationCan be either legal or contractualLegal obligations arise from contracts or lawsConstructive obligations arise from “valid expectations” that arise from an entity’s actions and representationsFor a contractual or legal obligation to exist, an obligating event must have occurred© 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.ProvisionsProbable outflowProbable” in IAS 37 means “more likely than not”“More likely than not” is not explicitly defined, but..May assume a lower probability threshold than what is implied by the term “probable”.Reliable estimate“Best estimate of the expenditure to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.”Which is the also the “amount that an entity would rationally pay to settle or transfer”An exception to this test is deemed to be extremely rareDiscounting required if the time value is materialAn Expected Value Approach may be used when there is (1) a large population of items or, (2) a large number of possible outcomes.© 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.Onerous ContractsAn onerous contract is one in which:“the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.“Unavoidable cost = The lower of the cost fulfilling of fulfill a contract, and any compensation or penalties arising from failure to fulfill it.”When a contract becomes onerous: An impairment loss on assets dedicated to that contract should be recognized under IAS No. 36The “Unavoidable cost” is the least net cost of exiting from the contractThen, the present obligations under the contract should be recognized and measured as a provisionNOTE:Executory ContractsNormally “off balance sheet”Recognize a liability under IAS No. 37 when onerous© 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.Product WarrantiesProduct warranties inevitably entail costs.Like other provisions, the amount of those costs can be reasonably estimated using commonly available estimation techniques.The estimate requires the following entry:© 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.Extended WarrantiesExtended warranties are sold separately from the product.The related revenue is not earned until:Claims are made against the extended warranty, orThe extended warranty period expires (normally recognized on a straight-line basis over the period).© 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.Litigation ClaimsThe majority of medium and large-size corporations annually report contingent liabilities due to litigation.The most common disclosure is a note to the financial statements.© 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.Subsequent EventsWhen the cause of a loss contingency occurs before the year-end, an adjusting event before financial statements are issued can be used to determine how the contingency is reported.Adjusting EventsOccur in the period between the end of a company’s financial year and the financial statements authorization dateProvide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting periodIf an event giving rise to a loss contingency occurs after the year-end, a liability should not be accrued. Instead, a disclosure note should be made© 2013 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.Unasserted Claims and AssessmentsQ1. Is a claimor assessmentprobable?NoYesNodisclosureneededUnassertedclaimQ2. Evaluate (a) the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and(b) whether the dollar amount can be estimated.If the answer to question 1 and 2 are ___ and ___ respectively..No, [n.a.]Yes, YesYes, NoMake a subjective evaluation whether the likelihood of loss is remote or possible.
