FINANCIAL REPORTING

1.1 Presentation of Financial Statements Accounting Tools (2021) defined Financial statements are a collection of summary-level reports about an organization's financial results, financial position, and cash flows. They include the income statement, statement of financial position, and statement of cash flows.

Section 259 CA 2016 requires a company to lodge its financial statements and reports (collectively called ‘the accounts’) with the ROC. For a private company, it must be done within 30 days from the day the accounts are circulated to the members (s259(1)(a)). The accounts must be circulated to the members within six months from the end of its financial year (section 258). In the case of a public company, the accounts must be lodged with the ROC within 30 days from its annual general meeting (‘AGM’). However, s. 68 requires the company to lodge its annual return with the ROC every calendar year within 30 days from the anniversary of its incorporation date. Thus, whilst the submission of the accounts is referenced to the company’s financial year-end, the submission of its annual return is linked to the anniversary date of its incorporation MFRS 101 indicates the purpose of financial statements is to provide information about the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity that is useful to a wide range of users in making economic decisions and also show the results of the management’s stewardship of the resources entrusted to it.

In general, the Financial Statements are useful for the following reasons: a. To determine the ability of a business to generate cash, and the sources and uses of that cash. b. To determine whether a business has the capability to pay back its debts. c. To track financial performance. d. To derive financial ratios from the statements that can indicate the condition of the business. e. To investigate the details of certain business transactions, as outlined in the disclosures that accompany the statements. f. To use as the basis for an annual report, which is distributed to a company’s investors and the potential investors.

To meet this objective, financial statements provide information about an entity’s: a. Assets b. Liabilities c. Equity d. Income and expenses e. Contributions by and distributions to owners in their capacity as owners f. Cash flows.

A statement of financial position as at the end of the period A statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period A statement of changes in equity for the period A statement of cash flows for the period Notes, comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information

1.2 Share Capital With effect from 31 January 2017, all companies with share capital migrated to no par value regime. It is immaterial that the company was incorporated under the CA 1965 or any previous enactment. Section 74 CA 2016 reads, ‘All shares issued before or upon the commencement of this Act shall have no par or nominal value.’

1.3 The Statement of Financial Position The statement of financial position is another name for the balance sheet. It is one of the main financial statements.

Accounting Coach (2021) defined the statement of financial position reports an entity's assets, liabilities, and the difference in their totals as of the final moment of an accounting period. The structure of the statement of financial position is similar to the basic accounting equation. For a corporation the format will be: Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity. A nonprofit organization's format will be: Assets = Liabilities + Net Assets. The statement of financial position must reflect the basic accounting principles and guidelines such as the cost, matching, and full disclosure principle to name a few. Accordingly, the statement of financial position is more meaningful when it is prepared under the accrual method of accounting.

This topic is discussing cash inflow and outflow from 3 activities of company. This topic considers 2 methods in preparing the statement which are Direct method and Indirect Method. This topic gave sample of company cash flow statement.

Some examples how to prepare the cash flow statement from both methods is also given.

22

FINANCIAL REPORTING

2.1 The purpose of cash flow MFRS 107 Require companies to prepare and present a cash flow statement. The cash flows statement of an entity is useful in providing users of financial statements with a basis to assess the ability of the entity to generate cash and cash equivalents and the needs of the entity to utilize those cash flows. The economic decisions that are taken by users require an evaluation of the ability of an entity to generate cash and cash equivalents and the timing and certainty of their generation.

2.2 Benefit of Cash Flow A statement of cash flows, when used in conjunction with the rest of the financial statements, provides information that enables users to evaluate the changes in net assets of an entity, its financial structure (including its liquidity and solvency) and its ability to affect the amounts and timing of cash flows in order to adapt to changing circumstances and opportunities.

Cash flow information is useful in assessing the ability of the entity to generate cash and cash equivalents and enables users to develop models to assess and compare the present value of the future cash flows of different entities.

Historical cash flow information is often used as an indicator of the amount, timing and certainty of future cash flows. It is also useful in checking the accuracy of past assessments of future cash flows and in examining the relationship between profitability and net cash flow and the impact of changing prices.

2.3 Definition.

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits.

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Cash flows are inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents.

Operating activities are the principal revenue-producing activities of the entity and other activities that are not investing or financing activities.

Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash equivalents.

Financing activities are activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the contributed equity and borrowings of the entity.

23

FINANCIAL REPORTING

2.4 Operating Activities Cash flows from operating activities are primarily derived from the principal revenue-producing activities of the entity. Therefore, they generally result from the transactions and other events that enter into the determination of profit or loss.

Examples of cash flows from operating activities are: a. b. c. d. e.

cash receipts from the sale of goods and the rendering of services; cash receipts from royalties, fees, commissions and other revenue; cash payments to suppliers for goods and services; cash payments to and on behalf of employees; cash receipts and cash payments of an insurance entity for premiums and claims, annuities and other policy benefits; f. cash payments or refunds of income taxes unless they can be specifically identified with financing and investing activities; g. cash receipts and payments from contracts held for dealing or trading purposes.

2.5 Investing Activities The separate disclosure of cash flows arising from investing activities is important because the cash flows represent the extent to which expenditures have been made for resources intended to generate future income and cash flows. Only expenditures that result in a recognized asset in the statement of financial position are eligible for classification as investing activities.

Examples of cash flows arising from investing activities are: a. cash payments to acquire property, plant and equipment, intangibles and other long-term assets. These payments include those relating to capitalized development costs and self-constructed property, plant and equipment; b. cash receipts from sales of property, plant and equipment, intangibles and other long-term assets; c. cash payments to acquire equity or debt instruments of other entities and interests in joint ventures (other than payments for those instruments considered to be cash equivalents or those held for dealing or trading purposes); d. cash receipts from sales of equity or debt instruments of other entities and interests in joint ventures (other than receipts for those instruments considered to be cash equivalents and those held for dealing or trading purposes); e. cash advances and loans made to other parties (other than advances and loans made by a financial institution); f. cash receipts from the repayment of advances and loans made to other parties (other than advances and loans of a financial institution);

24

FINANCIAL REPORTING

g. cash payments for futures contracts, forward contracts, option contracts and swap contracts except when the contracts are held for dealing or trading purposes, or the payments are classified as financing activities; h. cash receipts from futures contracts, forward contracts, option contracts and swap contracts except when the contracts are held for dealing or trading purposes or the receipts are classified as financing activities.

2.6 Financing Activities The separate disclosure of cash flows arising from financing activities is important because it is useful in predicting claims on future cash flows by providers of capital to the entity.

Examples of cash flows arising from financing activities are: a. cash proceeds from issuing shares or other equity instruments; b. cash payments to owners to acquire or redeem the entity’s shares; c. cash proceeds from issuing debentures, loans, notes, bonds, mortgages and other short-term or long-term borrowings; d. cash repayments of amounts borrowed; e. cash payments by a lessee for the reduction of the outstanding liability relating to a lease.

2.7 Presentation of the Cash Flow Statement An entity shall report cash flows from operating activities using either: a) The direct method Whereby major classes of gross cash receipts and gross cash payments are disclosed; Under the direct method, information about major classes of gross cash receipts and gross cash payments may be obtained either: 1. from the accounting records of the entity; 2. by adjusting sales, cost of sales (interest and similar income and interest expense and similar charges for a financial institution) and other items in the statement of comprehensive income for:  changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables;  other non-cash items; and  other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.

25

FINANCIAL REPORTING

b) The indirect method Whereby profit or loss is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments, and items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash flows.

Under the indirect method, the net cash flow from operating activities is determined by adjusting profit or loss for the effects of: 1. changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables; 2. non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, deferred taxes, unrealized foreign currency gains and losses, and undistributed profits of associates; 3. All other items.

FINANCIAL REPORTING

3.1 The Purposes of Accounting Theory 







Helps to evaluate existing practice. E.g., are methods and techniques used by accountants valid or correct in terms of what it should be? This is to eliminate unnecessary diversities in accounting treatment for similar items.

From the evaluation of existing practices, reasons for diversity that cannot be eliminated may be discovered and explained. This will enhance our understanding of the current practice and facilitate in regulating the profession by policymakers.

The theory also assists in the development of future practice where it serves as the basis in the development of accounting standards. As business practices become more sophisticated, new accounting problems may arise that require the development of new techniques and procedures.

The goal of the theory is to provide a coherent set of logical principles that form the general frame of reference for evaluating and developing new accounting practices.

3.2 The Accounting Bodies that Regulate the Accounting Standards in Malaysia.

Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (MASB) was set up to issue new standards, review or adopts existing accounting standards, issue statements of principles and to develop a conceptual framework. MASB has also adopted some of the IASs as extant standards. As the relevant standards are issued and adopted, the extant IASs will be superseded by these standards.

3.3 The Use of Accounting Information 1. Determine how liquid your business is. By calculating a few ratios, you can determine if you have enough current assets to pay your current debts. This is particularly important if you have one or more customers who are slow to pay you and you are anxiously awaiting their payments.

2. Assess your long-term solvency. Solvency is the ability to pay your long-term debts. If you are short on cash, will you be able to pay your long-term obligations? Even if you have good cash flow today, is there any possibility this may change? We need to think long-term so that our business can continue to operate effectively.

3. Provide a snapshot of how well, i.e., efficiently, your business is running. The income statement is a good place to see how well, or poorly, operations are generating revenues and managing expenses.

4. Obtain outside financing. A banker or investor will want to review your financial statements and perform their analysis on the numbers. Your ability to obtain financing will be based on those results.

38

FINANCIAL REPORTING

5. Make purchasing decisions, such as a new truck or equipment, or other business decisions such as moving to a bigger (or smaller) location.

6. Accounting information helps users to make better financial decisions. Users of financial information may be both internal and external to the organization.

3.4 The Internal Users of the Financial statement.   

Management: for analyzing the organization's performance and position and taking appropriate measures to improve the company results.

Employees: for assessing a company's profitability and its consequence on their future remuneration and job security.

Owners: for analyzing the viability and profitability of their investment and determining any future course of action.

Accounting information is presented to internal users usually in the form of management accounts, budgets, forecasts and financial statements.

3.5 The External Users of the Financial Statement.

Creditors: for determining the creditworthiness of the organization. Terms of credit are set by creditors according to the assessment of their customers' financial health.

Creditors include suppliers as well as lenders of finance such as banks.

Tax Authorities: for determining the credibility of the tax returns filed on behalf of the company.

Investors: for analyzing the feasibility of investing in the company. Investors want to make sure they can earn a reasonable return on their investment before they commit any financial resources to the company.

Customers: for assessing the financial position of its suppliers which is necessary for them to maintain a stable source of supply in the long term.

Regulatory Authorities: for ensuring that the company's disclosure of accounting information is in accordance with the rules and regulations set to protect the interests of the stakeholders who rely on such information in forming their decisions.

External users have communicated accounting information usually in the form of financial statements. The purpose of financial statements is: a) to cater to the needs of such diverse users of accounting information to assist them in making sound financial decisions b) To provide information about the financial position, performance and changes in the financial position of an enterprise that is useful to a wide range of users in making economic decisions (IASB Framework).

3.6 The Nature and Purposes of the Conceptual Framework 





 

An accounting conceptual framework can be defined as: “a coherent system of inter-related objectives and fundamentals that should lead to consistent standards that prescribe the nature, function and limits of financial accounting and financial statements.” (AT Foulks Lynch, 1998) A conceptual framework guides the body responsible for establishing accounting standards and ensures that standards are based on fundamental principles; it provides a frame of reference for resolving accounting questions in the absence of a specific promulgated standard. It also determines bounds for judgment in preparing financial statements; it increases financial statement user’s understanding of, and confidence in, financial statements and enhances comparability (Elliott & Elliott,2009) MASB has issued a guideline called the framework for the Presentation of Financial Statements. The importance of the framework is that in the absence or lack of a reporting standard, the preparers of financial statements are to apply the requirements of the framework.

Some of the areas the framework covers are the qualitative characteristics of financial statements, and the recognition and measurement of the elements of financial statements.

The objectives of a conceptual framework are: to ensure statements are convergent leading to a single set of high-level global accounting standards, to identify the users and provide them with the information that is most useful to them, to solve accounting disputes, to define the objectives of financial statements and to define fundamental principles which they do not have to be repeated in accounting standards (Soumis par dauphalex, janvier 2011).

3.7 The Accounting Framework.

The accounting framework consists of 3 main components: 1. The objectives of financial reporting 2. Qualitative characteristics and constraints of financial reporting information.

3. Recognition and measurement of elements of a financial statement.

3.7.1 The Objectives of Financial Reporting Financial reporting should accomplish the following: a) Provide information useful for making rational investment and credit decisions. b) Provide information to help current and potential investors and creditors assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of future cash flows.

40

FINANCIAL REPORTING

c) Provide information about the economic resources of a firm and claims on those resources. d) Provide information about a firm’s operating performance during a period. e) Provide information about how an enterprise obtains and uses cash. f) Provide information about how management has discharged its stewardship responsibility to owners. g) Include explanation and interpretations to help understand the financial information provided.

FINANCIAL REPORTING

Principal qualitative characteristics of useful financial information. a) Understandability There are many different users and decisions makers. The level of accounting and business knowledge they possess, the methods of decision-making they already possess and their ability to obtain additional information differ among various decision-makers. It is assumed that users of financial information have a reasonable knowledge of business, accounting and economic activities and, with due diligence, will be able to analyses the information provided. b) Relevance Information can influence the economic decision of users. By evaluating past, present and future events, useful information can be derived. For information to be useful, it has to be relevant to the decisions that are being made. For information to be relevant, it must assist users in making and evaluating decisions. c) Reliability Financial information is reliable if it is free from error and bias, and represents faithfully the events and transactions that have occurred. Reliable information reflects the events or transactions that have taken place. If the financial statements are prepared under conditions of uncertainty, then caution is advised in exercising judgment and in making any estimates. In other words, prudence is to be applied. d) Comparability In order to make decisions, users need to compare information between entities and over some time. The information from different entities is comparable if there is consistency in the accounting treatment of the economic events and transactions over time and in the disclosure of accounting policies. e) Timeliness If there is a delay in supplying the information, the information may be relevant in a limited manner even though it may be reliable. Therefore, entities have to find a balance between providing timely information which is relevant and reliable. More of one may mean less of the other. f) Verifiability Information is reliable if it can be verified by various means. Transactions are always recorded by examining source documents that will form the evidence for the transactions. g) Faithful representation Information provided should represent the transactions and events that have taken place as to the recognition, measurement and presentation of these transactions and events. Absence of faithful representation will make information unreliable.

42

FINANCIAL REPORTING

However, sometimes there may be difficulty in identifying the transaction or event or even in measuring an item. For example, where a loan for three months in renewed constantly, it may not be a current liability but long-term liability. h) Completeness Information in the financial statements has to be complete; otherwise, it will not be reliable and relevant.

3.7.3 Recognition and Measurement of Elements of a Financial Statement.

The element of financial statement: a) b) c) d) e)

Assets Liability Equity Income Expenses

Recognition criteria a) Any future economic benefit associated with the item will probably flow to from the entity. b) The item has a cost or value that can be measured reliably.

Measurement If the time value of money is significant, the entity can disclose the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities discounted at present value.

3.8 Accounting Concept and Conventions. a) Historical cost Assets are recorded at the amount of cash or cash equivalent paid or the fair value of the consideration given to acquire them. b) Monetary measurement Accountants do not account for items unless they can be quantified in monetary terms. Items that are not accounted for (unless someone is prepared to pay something for them) include things like workforce skill, morale, market leadership, brand recognition, quality of management etc.

43

FINANCIAL REPORTING

c) Separate Entity This convention seeks to ensure that private transactions and matters relating to the owners of a business are segregated from transactions that relate to the business. d) Realization With this convention, accounts recognize transactions (and any profits arising from them) at the point of sale or transfer of legal ownership - rather than just when cash changes hands. For example, a company that makes a sale to a customer can recognize that sale when the transaction is legal - at the point of contract. The actual payment due from the customer may not arise until several weeks (or months) later - if the customer has been granted some credit terms. e) Materiality An important convention. As we can see from the application of accounting standards and accounting policies, the preparation of accounts involves a high degree of judgment. Where decisions are required about the appropriateness of a particular accounting judgment, the "materiality" convention suggests that this should only be an issue if the judgment is "significant" or "material" to a user of the accounts. The concept of "materiality" is an important issue for auditors of financial accounts. f) Going Concerned This concept simply implies that the business will continue to operate for the foreseeable future and that it isn't suddenly going to cease trading. The significance of this concept is that the assets of the business are not valued at their "break-up" value.

The concept assumes that the owners of a company intend to continue its trading over the long term (at least 12 more months). It that is not the case, they will need to disclose that fact and present slightly different financial statements.

44

FINANCIAL REPORTING

For example:

Suppose Melor Trading acquired a machine at RM100,000 and this machine has an estimated life of 5 years. Let us also assume that the machine has no other use outside Melor Trading’s business and could only be sold for scrap at RM15,000 after one year.

It is normal to write-off the cost of this asset to the profit and loss account, over this timeframe. That is, depreciation of RM20,000 per annum would be charged to the profit and loss account. So, at the end of the first year, the value of the machine in the books would be RM80,000, rather than the RM15,000 scrap value. g) Consistency Transactions and valuation methods are treated the same way from year to year, or period to period. Users of accounts can, therefore, make more meaningful comparisons of financial performance from year to year. Where accounting policies are changed, companies are required to disclose this fact and explain the impact of any change. h) Prudence A company should not recognize an asset at a value that is higher than the amount which is expected to be recovered from its sale or use. Conversely, liabilities of an entity should not be presented below the amount that is likely to be paid in its respect in the future.

I) Matching Income should be properly "matched" with the expenses of a given accounting period. j) Accrual Under the accrual basis, transactions and events are recognized when they occur and are recorded and reported in the financial statements in the period to which they relate irrespective of whether cash was received or paid. k) Periodicity This principle entails a business to complete the whole accounting process of a business over a specific operating period. It may be monthly, quarterly or annually.

For the annual accounting period, it may follow a Calendar or Fiscal Year.

Recently, the shares of Mybank have increased, and the value of the investment is RM450,000. Mars Sdn Bhd recorded RM150,000 as investment cost in Syarikat Mybank. ● Accept/Appropriate ● Prudence Concept ● The investment must be recorded at the amount whichever lower between the cost and the market value.

According to the Conservative concept/ prudent concept, the accountant should aware of recognizing the gain or losses from the transactions. If we expected losses, we should provide an estimation of losses in accounts, however, if we expected the gain from such transactions, we should not recognize it till we receive it. So the profit or loss of the company may not under-stated or over-stated due to the above matter.

Exercise 2 Mars Sdn. Bhd. has decided to promote product ‘X’ through mass-media and other printing- media.

Exercise 3 Mars Sdn Bhd bought 100 units of computer amounting of RM200,000 which have a useful life of 5 years. The Directors of the company had proposed RM200,000 to be charged as expenses for the current accounting period due to the rapid changes in Information Technology Systems and those computers may not be in use in the future.   

 

Not Accept/ Not Appropriate Matching Concept RM200,000 cannot be classified as revenue expenses. It should be classified as capital expenses. Thus, it cannot be eliminated against current profit, the assets should be depreciated annually and the annual depreciation should be charged to Profit and Loss Account.

Or Historical Cost Concept In addition, according to the Historical Concept, RM200,000 was selected due to the objectivity of the transactions and it should be shown in the balance sheet as Non-Current Assets.

Exercise 4 Twilight Sdn Bhd placed an order worth RM35,000 for product ‘Y’ on 1 October 2020 to Syarikat Gamma. Twilight has paid a deposit of RM 7,000 on the same date. Product ’Y’ is expected to be ready by 15 February 2021. However, Mars Sdn Bhd has recorded RM35,000 as revenue on 1 October 2020. (5 marks)  Not Accept/ Not Appropriate  Realization Concept  According to the Realization concept, Mars Sdn Bhd should recognize the sales on 15 February 2021 when the product is transferred to Syarikat Citrus.

The selling should be recognized at the selling date when the seller transfers the title to the buyer. According to this case, the selling date was 15 February 2021 when the product is ready and been transfer to the Syarikat Citrus.  The number of sales should be recorded is RM35,000 on 15 February 2021.

As a result, total expenses can be cut down by RM25,000 per annum.  Not Accept/ Not Appropriate  Consistency Concept  According to the Consistency Concept, the rate of depreciation cannot be changed. It must use the same rate annually so that the company can measure the performance and financial status yearly.  However, if the directors want to change the rate of depreciation, it must discuss in meeting and have to take all the effect of the changes to the account and the appropriate disclosure and presentation should be made in the notes to the accounts.

4.1 What is a Group Account?

A group account is derived from the business combination. While business combination arises when one entity acquires other company by acquiring its net assets or share capital.

For this topic, we only focus on the acquisition of purchasing the shares capital.

4.2 Business Combination Holding Company • • • •

A holding company is an acquirer company or parent company which owned more than 50% of the share capital of an investee company.

It also means that the holding company has control of the subsidiary company.

If the investor hold 100% share capital means that the investee company becomes the wholly-owned company to the investor.

The holding company will record this acquisition in its account as an asset – investment. From time to time, the holding company will receive a dividend from the subsidiary company which will be treated as investment income.

Subsidiary Company •

• •

Yearly, a subsidiary company has to pay dividends to a parent company.

In the case of a parent owned more than 50% but less than 100%, shares capital of a subsidiary company has to divide into holding company and non-controlling interest (minority interest).

Meanwhile, 100% owned means that all the shares belong to the parent company and NCI does not exist.

A financial statement of the subsidiary company will be combined with the parent company to present the whole performance of a group company.

Control Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity and benefit from its activities.

4.3 Prepare the Consolidated Financial Statement MFRS 10 requires an entity (the parent) that controls one or more other entities (subsidiaries) to present consolidated financial statements; An entity that is a parent shall present consolidated financial statements. This MFRS applies to all entities, except as follows: a parent need not present consolidated financial statements if it meets all the following conditions: 53

5.1.1 Intra Group Transaction for Owing Money and Balances Intra group transaction is also known as intercompany transaction.

Dictionary of accounting defines intra group transaction as transactions between the companies in a group. These may be in the form of charges or the transfer of goods or services.

In the preparation of consolidated financial statements that such transactions are eliminated or suitable adjustments must be made.

Loans to and from the holding Loans to the holding from the subsidiary or loans from the holding to the subsidiary are considered as intra group transaction.

A loan from the holding As an asset in the holding’s book (H) As a liability in the subsidiary’s book (S) Accounting Treatment for preparing the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (CSoFP): A loan from the holding to the subsidiary is an intra-group transaction and must be eliminated by credited the asset and debited the liability.

5.1.2 Current Account and Item in Transit In preparing the consolidated financial statement, all the intra-group balances such as an item in transit and current account between holding and subsidiary have to be eliminated. i) Current account There is another way to record intra company transactions by recording them in the current account.

Holding and the subsidiary company will open their own current accounts.

The balances as at the Statement of financial position date are classified as intra company transaction and must be cancelled off.

Thus, there is no current account in the consolidated statement of financial position.

However, in a certain situation, the balances are differing from each other. So, you are required to do some adjustment before cancelled of the current account in the CSoFP.

5.1.4 Bills Receivable/ Payables Bills receivables and payables are one of the financial instruments which can be transferred to another party. Bills receivables and payables could be issued when one member of the group borrow money from another member of the group.

For instance, holding may issue a bill once the subsidiary owes money from the holding. This bill can be transferred to the third party who is outside of the group such as bank and financial institutions. It can be factored or discounted. The amount which is factored or discounted is a liability and the remaining balances are considered as intra company transaction.

Factoring bills receivables at a discount In certain situation, it is needed for a holder of bills receivables to sell its bills to financial institutions and banks to get immediate money. This is known as factoring and normally a bill is factored at a discount such as a factoring company will purchase bills for up to 90% of the total amount.

The main reason to used Factoring instrument is to obtain cash when the available cash balance held by the firm is insufficient to meet current obligations.

Once the bill sold, a factoring company will take on the risk of collecting the payments. At times, subsidiary who owed money from holding must settle its debts to the factoring company, not to the holding.

5.15 The Intragroup Transactions for the Sale of Trading Inventories In some circumstances, there is a need to buy stocks from members of the group (such as parent to a subsidiary, subsidiary to parent or subsidiary to a subsidiary) due to the low price offered. The price may be at a cost, net book value or a price plus profit. There are two types of sales, which are: • •

Downstream sales – parent sold inventory to a subsidiary Upstream sales – subsidiary sold inventory to parent

Inventory sold at a cost price plus profit between members of the group is known as transferred profit.

In preparing the CSoFP, the transferred profit only becomes realized profits if the inventory is already sold to the customers which outside of the group (complying the principles of realization)

75

FINANCIAL REPORTING

Thus, the remaining inventory in the group is considered as unrealized profit.

Unrealized profit

Profit from selling goods/assets among holding and subsidiary Realized profit Figure 2: Types of profit in intra group

Calculation of Provision unrealized profit Provision Unrealized profit (PURP) = percentage of unsold inventories (ending inventories) x transferred profit (selling price – cost price) Figure 3: Calculation of provision unrealized profit.

The accounting treatment for the unrealized profit In preparing the consolidated balance sheet, the unrealized profits must be eliminated and the value of the inventories will be reduced.

Down Stream Sale An adjustment of transferred profits must be made in the parent’s book. The adjustment is to recognize only the realized profits from the actual sales is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, while the unrealized profits are eliminated.

Up-stream sale An up-stream sale occurs if the subsidiary sells inventories to parent. Initially, a subsidiary will record the profits which arise from selling inventories to parent in the subsidiary’s books. As at the balance sheet date, any unsold inventories in the 76

FINANCIAL REPORTING

parent will affect the realized profits in the subsidiary’s books. The realized profits must be adjusted to determine unrealized profits.

5.16 The Intragroup Transactions for Dividends Income Received by the Holding from The Subsidiary Once, the holding company invest equity in the subsidiary from time to time the holding company will receive dividends on the issued shares. The payment of dividends on preference shares and ordinary shares is an appropriation of profits after all expenses are deducted.

At the holding company view, dividend receivables are recognized as income.

However, in the subsidiary’s books, this provision of dividend is classified as a liability.

In preparing the consolidated statement of financial position, dividend receivables and dividend payables are intra group transactions must be cancelled off.

The intra-group transactions for dividends income received by the holding from the subsidiary There are three situations arise; 1) Both subsidiary and holding company have recorded the dividend.

2) Both subsidiary and holding company have not recorded the dividend.

3) The subsidiary has recorded the dividends payables but the holding company has not taken credit for its share of dividend receivables.

1) Both subsidiary and holding company have recorded the post dividend In this situation, both subsidiary and the holding company already recorded their dividend receivables or payables in their books.

How do you know?

Just refer to your statement of financial position.

If dividend receivables and dividend payables are stated in the SoFP, meaning that both companies have recorded the dividend.

Thus, this intra company transaction must be eliminated and adjustments are only made in the CSoFP. Adjustment: Journal entry Dt. Interest payable

5.1.7 The Intragroup Transactions for the Sale of Non-current Assets There are two types of non-current assets: 1. Non-depreciable assets – such as land 2. Depreciable assets- such as Property, Plant & Equipment.

78

FINANCIAL REPORTING

Non-Depreciable Asset The land is one of the non-depreciable assets. Transferred profit arises if the selling price of this asset exceeds than carrying value (cost or net book value).

The unrealized profit should be recognized in the seller’s books if inventories remain unsold at the balance sheet date in the buyer’s book. The provision of unrealized profits on the sale of land will be recorded at the debit side of P&L and the carrying value of this asset is shown in the consolidated balance sheet.

Sale of Depreciable Assets Most of the depreciable assets are in the group of property, plant and equipment.

Profits (transferred profits) arise if these assets sold above the carrying value and it can be realized in the seller’s books.

However, in preparing the consolidated statement of financial position, the transfer profit will be eliminated and the total of the assets will be reduced to reflect its book value. Also, an adjustment of depreciation is needed in the buyer’s books.

CAPITAL REDUCTION - No new company is form

A new company is formed

This topic discussing the statutory requirement and account treatment after capital reduction. A few examples are given how to make the adjustment record in preparing financial statement after capital reduction.

FINANCIAL REPORTING

6.1 The Purpose of Reconstruction The purpose of reconstruction is to improve the financial structure of the company.

They focus on rationalizing the amount of liabilities of the company as well as revisiting the valuation of its assets. If reconstruction is not undertaken in a timely manner for companies that are in severe financial trouble, they may end up becoming bankrupt under the burden of discharging high liabilities that they cannot afford.

There are two types of reconstruction: i. ii.

Internal reconstruction – capital reduction scheme External Reconstruction – selling the ailing company to another company

The purpose of both internal and external reconstruction is thus to protect the company from bankruptcy and rationalize its financial structure, giving it a better chance to perform better in the years to come.

The company has to fulfill the statutory requirements as set out in the companies Act 2016.

DIFFERENCES Internal reconstruction External reconstruction No new company is formed and the existing company continues as a going concern.

The ailing company will not give into liquidation under the capital reduction scheme, and

A new company is formed by the existing shareholder of the old company to take over assets and liabilities.

The ailing company goes to liquidation

Involves complying the requirements under the Companies Act

6.2 What is capital reconstruction?

Capital reduction or internal reconstruction happen when the company has surplus capital or whose capital was eroded by trading losses.

Can be defined as a drastic formal change in a company’s capital structure as a result of certain circumstances. Reconstruction will be undertaken only when the company has evidence that it can make profits in the near future and able to pay dividends to its shareholders.

FINANCIAL REPORTING

6.3 The statutory requirements as set out in the companies Act 2016.

Company Act 2016 A company can reduce its share capital in one of two ways: 1) By a special resolution and confirm by the court.

2) By a special resolution supported by a solvency statement.

Section 116 of the Companies Act 2016 The court allows a company to reduce its capital in any of the three situations: 1) To reduce or write off the uncalled on its shares 2) Cancel any paid-up capital which is lost and unrepresented by available assets.

3) To refund any surplus capital which is excess of the needs of the company.

The act protects the interest of creditors, they have right to object the proposed capital reduction scheme. The court will confirm the capital reduction only after the creditors are satisfied.

6.3.1 Reduce or write off the uncalled capital on company’s shares Uncalled capital is an amount of the money on the issued capital that has not been called up due to the sufficient capital. Under this situation, the uncalled capital can be reduced or write off.

Accounting treatment – no accounting transaction for uncalled capital but a memorandum entry is made to recognise the change in the paid-up value of the shares .

6.3.2 Refund of the surplus capital. company being in excess financial resources when in the Financial Position Statements shows high cash balances and low return capital (dividend).

Under the company reconstruction, any surplus must be refunded to the shareholders via reducing its paid-up value of the share.

93

FINANCIAL REPORTING

The accounting entries are: Debit Ordinary share capital Credit Bank

RMXX RMXX

6.3.3 Capital is not represented by available assets (lost capital) The situation where a company’s capital is eroded is when the company has incurred heavy losses and unable to pay dividends to its shareholders for a number of years. The company in this situation has 2 choices which are liquidated or reconstructed. Liquidation of the company involves the disposal of assets, settlement of the liabilities and distribution of the remaining assets to the shareholders.

The objective of the reconstruction is to save the company from liquidated but reconstruction will only can be done if the company can prove that it can make profits in the near future. The accumulated trading loses will be written off and the carrying amount of the assets will be adjusted based on reduction scheme.

Example 1 RT Sdn Bhd Statement of Financial Position as at 31.12.2020 Non-current assets Current assets Financed by: Ordinary shares @ RM1 Accumulated loss Net equity Current liabilities

150,000 40,000 190,000 300,000 (180,000) 120,000 70,000 190,000

In this situation, 1) The accumulated losses of RM180,000 have eroded the paid-up capital.

So, the value of capital becomes RM120,000 and it is not same as invested.

2) There is also a cash flow problem as there is negative working capital.

In such situation the company can; 1) Continue to be in business and face further erosion of capital.

2) Wind up its business 3) Reconstruction.

94

FINANCIAL REPORTING

In addition, loss of capital (paid up capital – net assets) is RM 180,000 [300,000(190,000-70,000)]. Meaning that the share capital is reduced by RM180,000 or RM0.60 per share. RM180,000 also known as the capital paid up which is not represented by available assets.

Devising a Scheme of Capital Reduction The capital reduction scheme will be devised to ensure that the capital that is LOST is written off.

1) RM180,000 must be cancelled via reducing its share price from RM1 to RM0.40 each.

2) The company will also advice to eliminate the accumulated losses and adjust the assets value to reflect current values, if needed.

3) Due to cash flow problem (negative working capital), it is suggested to raise any fund such as issue additional shares.

6.4 Accounting Entries The accounting entries is to record the assets at fair values, writing off the accumulated losses and reducing the share capital with the lost capital.

The capital reduction account is opened to record any decreasing or increasing of assets, any written off of accumulated losses, intangible assets, tangible assets, liabilities and reducing of share capital.

Normally, there is no remaining balance in capital reduction account.

However, if total amount in the credit side is more than total amount in the debit side, the difference will transfer to a capital reserve account. On the other hand, a debit balance will be considered as loss on reorganization and must be deducted from the income statement as reorganization expenses.

Topic Overview

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

Date When the Financial Statements Are Authorised for Issue

Adjusting Events

Non-Adjusting Events

This topic discussing events after the reporting date which is the events that occur between the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. A few examples are given to show the condition of the events occured.

102

FINANCIAL REPORTING

7.1 Events After the Reporting Period MFRS 110 defines events after the reporting date as those events, both favourable and unfavourable, that occur between the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

The standard has identified two types of events. They are: a. Those events that provide further evidence of conditions that at the end of the reporting period (adjusting events)- material event, and b. Those that are indicative of conditions that arose after the end of the reporting period (non-adjusting events) non-material but significant.

7.2 Date When the Financial Statements Are Authorised for Issue The date on which the financial statements are authorised for issue depends on the management structure, statutory requirements and procedures followed by each entity in preparing and finalizing the financial statements.

Example Company A’s draft financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 was completed on 28/2/2021. The board of directors reviewed the financial on 20/3/2021 and authorized them for issue. Company A released its profits and other selected financial information to the public on 21/3/2021.

However, the financial statements were only made available to the shareholders 30/3/2021. The shareholders approved the financial statements at the annual meeting on 10/5/2021. The post reporting period is between the year-end date, 31 December 2020 and 20/3/2021, the date the directors authorized the financial statements.

7.3 Adjusting Events Adjusting events affect the financial position and performance measurement of the entity even though they occurred between the reporting date and the date the financial statements were authorized for issue. Are the events that provide evidence of conditions which existed at the end of reporting period.

The accounting treatment is to adjust the elements of financial statements affected by these events.

Measurement of Bad and Doubtful Debts The entity normally provides for doubtful debts from the past experience. Events after the reporting period may indicate that the amount has to be adjusted. The bankruptcy of a customer after the reporting period gives further evidence of the loss already existing on the reporting period on a trade receivable. Therefore, the entity needs to adjust the carrying amount of the trade receivable.

Example 1 The entity makes a provision for doubtful debts of 10% on all its trade receivables. After the end of the financial year, a customer who owed the entity RM2million was declared a bankrupt.

Answer At the reporting period the customer may have been solvent but events after that date indicate that the estimated provision has to revised. The 10% provision on the debts has to revised. If the entity determines that the customer would not be able to pay any amount, then the full amount of the debt has to be written off. The additional loss of RM1.8 million has to recognised.

It is an adjusting event.

Determining the net realisable value of inventory At the end of the financial year, the carrying value of inventory is compared with its net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less costs necessary to make the sale. The measurement of net realisable value is estimate.

The sale of the inventory after the reporting period gives further evidence of the selling price of the inventory at the reporting period.

Example 2 At the reporting period, the carrying value of inventory of ROY was RM43,000 and the net realizable value was RM52,000. The inventory was sold after the year-end but before the financial statements were authorized for issue, at RM 42,000.

Answer The actual sale price gives evidence that the carrying value has to be adjusted to RM42,000. The loss of RM1,000 is recognised in the current year.

Court case There is a litigation, if the amount of payment cannot be determined the entity has to disclose the fact that there is a contingent liability. If the amount can be measured it has to be based on the best estimate.

Example 3 Client sue the entity for RM500,000 for pain and agony caused by consuming the product sold by the entity. The entity made a provision for liability of RM100,000. The court case pending at the end of the year. A month after the financial year- end but before the financial statement authorized for issue, the case came to court and the judgment was in favour of the client awarding RM400,000.

Answer This is an adjusting event after the financial reporting period. The additional loss and a corresponding liability of RM300,000 have to be recognized.

Impairment of assets Assets are reviewed for impairment at the reporting period. There could be indications of impairment or of no impairment. If the entity obtains information after the reporting period indicating that an asset is impaired at the reporting period, or that the amount of a previously recognised impairment loss for that asset needs to be adjusted, then the entity is required to make the appropriate adjustments.
