under IFRS and U.S GAAP As in IFRS, the statement of financial position and the statement of cash flows are required statements for U.S GAAP In addition, the content and presentation of a U.S GAAP statement of financial position and cash flow statement are similar to those used for IFRS 5-86 LO GLOBAL ACCOUNTING INSIGHTS Relevant Facts Following are the key similarities and differences between U.S GAAP and IFRS related to the statement of financial position Similarities • Both U.S GAAP and IFRS allow the use of the title “balance sheet” or “statement of financial position.” IFRS recommends but does not require the use of the title “statement of financial position” rather than balance sheet • Both U.S GAAP and IFRS require disclosures about (1) accounting policies followed, (2) judgments that management has made in the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies, and (3) the key assumptions and estimation uncertainty that could result in a material adjustment Comparative prior period information must be presented and financial statements must be prepared annually 5-87 LO GLOBAL ACCOUNTING INSIGHTS Relevant Facts Similarities • U.S GAAP and IFRS require presentation of non-controlling interests in the equity section of the statement of financial position Differences • U.S GAAP follows the same guidelines as presented in the chapter for distinguishing between current and noncurrent assets and liabilities However, under U.S GAAP, public companies must follow U.S SEC regulations, which require specific line items In addition, specific U.S GAAP mandates certain forms of reporting for this information IFRS requires a classified statement of financial position except in very limited situations 5-88 LO GLOBAL ACCOUNTING INSIGHTS Relevant Facts Differences • Under U.S GAAP cash is listed first, but under IFRS it is many times listed last That is, under IFRS, current assets are usually listed in the reverse order of liquidity than under U.S GAAP • U.S GAAP has many differences in terminology that you will notice in this textbook One example is the use of common stock under U.S GAAP, which is referred to as share capital—ordinary under IFRS • 5-89 Use of the term “reserve” is discouraged in U.S GAAP, but there is no such prohibition in IFRS LO GLOBAL ACCOUNTING INSIGHTS About The Numbers The order of presentation in the statement of financial position differs between U.S GAAP and IFRS As indicated in the following table, U.S companies generally present current assets, non-current assets, current and non-current liabilities, and shareholders’ equity In addition, within the current asset and liability classifications, items are presented in order of liquidity 5-90 LO GLOBAL ACCOUNTING INSIGHTS On the Horizon The IASB and the FASB are working on a project to converge their standards related to financial statement presentation A key feature of the proposed framework is that each of the statements will be organized, in the same format, to separate an entity’s financing activities from its operating and investing activities and, further, to separate financing activities into transactions with owners and creditors Thus, the same classifications used in the statement of financial position would also be used in the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows 5-91 LO COPYRIGHT Copyright © 2018 John Wiley &
