Additional information for 2014: Depreciation expense was comprised of $6,000 for building and $3,000 for equipment The company sold equipment with a book value of $7,000 (cost $8,000, less accumulated depreciation $1,000) for $4,000 cash Issued $110,000 of long-term bonds in direct exchange for land A building costing $120,000 was purchased for cash Equipment costing $25,000 was also purchased for cash Issued common stock for $20,000 cash The company declared and paid a $29,000 cash dividend 17-71 LO APPENDIX 17B Worksheet—Indirect Method Preparing a Worksheet Enter in the balance sheet accounts section the balance sheet accounts and their beginning and ending balances Enter in the reconciling columns of the worksheet the data that explain the changes in the balance sheet accounts other than cash and their effects on the statement of cash flows Enter on the cash line and at the bottom of the worksheet the increase or decrease in cash This entry should enable the totals of the reconciling columns to be in agreement 17-72 LO Explain how to use a worksheet to prepare the statement of cash flows using the indirect method APPENDIX 17B Illustration 17B-3 Completed worksheet— indirect method 17-73 LO Worksheet—Indirect Method APPENDIX 17C T-Account Approach T-Account Approach What this means is that the change in cash is equal to the change in all of the other balance sheet accounts Another way to think about this is that if we analyze the changes in all of the noncash balance sheet accounts, we will explain the change in the cash account 17-74 LO Use the T-account approach to prepare a statement of cash flows APPEND I X 17C 17-75 LO Illustration 17C-1 Illustration 12B-1 A Look at IFRS Key Points 17-76 Companies preparing financial statements under IFRS must prepare a statement of cash flows as an integral part of the financial statements Both IFRS and GAAP require that the statement of cash flows should have three major sections—operating, investing, and financing—along with changes in cash and cash equivalents Similar to GAAP, the cash flow statement can be prepared using either the indirect or direct method under IFRS In both U.S and international settings, companies choose for the most part to use the indirect method for reporting net cash flows from operating activities LO Discuss the accounting procedures for the statement of cash flows under GAAP and IFRS A Look at IFRS Key Points 17-77 The definition of cash equivalents used in IFRS is similar to that used in GAAP A major difference is that in certain situations, bank overdrafts are considered part of cash and cash equivalents under IFRS (which is not the case in GAAP) Under GAAP, bank overdrafts are classified as financing activities in the statement of cash flows and are reported as liabilities on the balance sheet LO Discuss the accounting procedures for the statement of cash flows under GAAP and IFRS A Look at IFRS Key Points 17-78 IFRS requires that noncash investing and financing activities be excluded from the statement of cash flows Instead, these noncash activities should be reported elsewhere This requirement is interpreted to mean that noncash investing and financing activities should be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements instead of in the financial statements Under GAAP, companies may present this information on the face of the statement of cash flows LO Discuss the accounting procedures for the statement of cash flows under GAAP and IFRS A Look at IFRS Key Points 17-79 One area where there can be substantial differences between IFRS and GAAP relates to the classification of interest, dividends, and taxes The following table indicates the differences between the two approaches LO Discuss the accounting procedures for the statement of cash flows under GAAP and IFRS A Look at IFRS Key Points 17-80 Under IFRS, some companies present the operating section in a single line item, with a full reconciliation provided in the notes to the financial statements This presentation is not seen under GAAP Similar to GAAP, under IFRS companies must disclose the amount of taxes and interest paid Under GAAP, companies disclose this in the notes to the financial statements Under IFRS, some companies disclose this information in the notes, but others provide individual line items on the face of the statement LO Discuss the accounting procedures for the statement of cash flows under GAAP and IFRS A Look at IFRS Looking to the Future Presently, the FASB and the IASB are involved in a joint project on the presentation and organization of information in the financial statements One interesting approach, revealed in a published proposal from that project, is that in the future the income statement and balance sheet would adopt headings similar to those of the statement of cash flows That is, the income statement and balance sheet would be broken into operating, investing, and financing sections With respect to the statement of cash flows specifically, the notion of cash equivalents will probably not be retained In addition, the FASB favors presentation of operating cash flows using the direct method only However, the majority of IASB members express a preference for not requiring use of the direct method of reporting operating cash flows The two Boards will have to resolve their differences in this area in order to issue a converged standard for the statement of cash flows 17-81 LO Discuss the accounting procedures for the statement of cash flows under GAAP and IFRS A Look at IFRS IFRS Self-Test Questions Under IFRS, interest paid can be reported as: a) only a financing element b) a financing element or an investing element c) a financing element or an operating element d) only an operating element 17-82 LO Discuss the accounting procedures for the statement of cash flows under GAAP and IFRS A Look at IFRS IFRS Self-Test Questions IFRS requires that noncash items: a) be reported in the section to which they relate, that is, a noncash investing activity would be reported in the investing section b) be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements c) not need to be reported d) be treated in a fashion similar to cash equivalents 17-83 LO Discuss the accounting procedures for the statement of cash flows under GAAP and IFRS A Look at IFRS IFRS Self-Test Questions In the future, it appears likely that: a) the income statement and balance sheet will have headings of operating, investing, and financing, much like the statement of cash flows b) cash and cash equivalents will be combined in a single line item c) the IASB will not allow companies to use the direct approach to the statement of cash flows d) None of the above 17-84 LO Discuss the accounting procedures for the
