Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting
Learning Objectives
• State the purpose, status, and scope of the Conceptual
Framework.
• State the objective of financial reporting.
• Identify the primary users of financial statements.
• Explain briefly the qualitative characteristics of useful
information and how they are applied in financial
reporting.
• Define the elements of financial statements and state their
recognition criteria and their derecognition.
• State the measurement bases used in financial reporting.
• Only the common needs of primary users are met by the financial
statements.
Reporting period
• Financial statements are prepared for a specific period of time (i.e., the
reporting period) and include comparative information for at least
one preceding reporting period.
Going concern
• Financial statements are normally prepared on the assumption that the
reporting entity is a going concern, meaning the entity has neither
the intention nor the need to end its operations in the foreseeable
future.
Reporting entity
• A reporting entity is one that is required, or chooses, to prepare
financial statements, and is not necessarily a legal entity. It can be a
single entity or a group or combination of two or more entities.
• Income
Income is “increases in assets, or decreases in liabilities, that result in
increases in equity, other than those relating to contributions from
holders of equity claims.” (Conceptual Framework 4.68)
• Expenses
Expenses are “decreases in assets, or increases in liabilities, that result
in decreases in equity, other than those relating to distributions to
holders of equity claims.” (Conceptual Framework 4.69)
Recognition criteria
• An item is recognized if:
a. it meets the definition of an asset, liability, equity, income or
expense; and
b. recognizing it would provide useful information, i.e., relevant and
faithfully represented information.
Relevance
• The recognition of an item may not provide relevant information if,
for example:
a. it is uncertain whether an asset or liability exists; or
b. an asset or liability exists, but the probability of an inflow or
outflow of economic benefits is low. (Conceptual Framework 5.12)
Faithful representation
• The level of measurement uncertainty and other factors can affect an
item’s faithful representation, but not necessarily its relevance.
Measurement uncertainty
• Measurement uncertainty exists if the asset or liability needs to be
estimated. A high level of measurement uncertainty does not
necessarily lead to the non-recognition of an asset or liability if the
estimate provides relevant information and is clearly and accurately
described and explained.
• However, measurement uncertainty can lead to the non-recognition of
an asset or a liability if making an estimate is exceptionally difficult
or exceptionally subjective.

Recognition & Derecognition
Derecognition
• Derecognition is the removal of a previously recognized asset or
liability from the entity’s statement of financial position.
• Derecognition occurs when the item ceases to meet the definition
of an asset or liability.
1. Historical cost
2. Current value
a. Fair value
b. Value in use and fulfilment value
c. Current cost
• Current cost and historical cost are entry values (i.e., they reflect
prices in acquiring an asset or incurring a liability), whereas fair
value, value in use and fulfilment value are exit values (i.e., they
reflect prices in selling or using an asset or transferring or fulfilling a
liability).
