Understanding Financial Position Statements
Technical Knowledge
Financial statements are the means by which the information accumulated and processed in financial
accounting is periodically communicated to the users.
The financial statements are the end product or main output of the financial accounting process
General purpose financial statements or simply referred to as financial statements are those intended
to meet the needs of users who are not in a position to require and entity to prepare reports
tailored to their particular information needs.
In other words, general purpose financial statements are directed to all common users and not to
specific users.
The objective 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.
To meet this objective, financial statements provide information about the following:
d1. Assets
An asset is defined as resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events and from which
future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.
Assets are classified into two : current assets and noncurrent assets
dd1. Current assets
a. The asset is cash or cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged
or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
b. The entity holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading.
c. The entity expects to realized the asset within twelve months after the reporting period.
d. The entity expects to realized the asset or intends to sell or consume it within the entity's
normal operating cycle.
Example : a. Cash and cash equivalent
b. Financial assets at fair value such as trading securities and other
investments
c. Trade and other receivables
d. Inventories
e. Prepaid expenses
Property, plant and equipment are tangible assets which are held by an entity for use in
production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes
and are expected to be used during more than one period.
Examples: Land, building, machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures, patterns, mold,
dies, tools
Most plant, property and equipment, except land, are presented at cost less accumulated
depreciation.
Long-term investments are assets held by an entity for the accretion of wealth through
capital distribution, such as interest, royalties, dividends and rentals, for capital appreciation or
for other benefits to the investing entity such as those obtained through trading relationship.
Intangible assets is simply defined ad an identifiable nonmonetary asset without physical
substance.
Other noncurrent assets are those assets that do not fit into the definition of the previously
mentioned noncurrent assets.
d2. Liabilities
A liability is defined as present obligation of an entity arising from past events, the settlement of
which is expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic
benefit.
a. The entity expects to settle the liability within the entity's normal operating cycle.
b. The entity holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading.
c. The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period.
d. The entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least twelve months after the reporting period.
Noncurrent liabilities is the residual definition, meaning that all liabilities not classified as
current are classified as noncurrent.
The term equity is the residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Simply stated, equity means net asset or total asset minus total liabilities.
The terms used in reporting the equity of an entity depending on the form of business organization
are:
a. Owner's equity in a proprietorship.
b. Partners' equity in a partnership.
c. Shareholders' equity in a corporation.
Shareholders' equity is the residual interest of owners in the net asset of a corporation
measured by the excess of assets over liabilities.
Notes contain information in addition to that presented in the statement of financial position,
income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and
statement of cash flows.
In other words, notes to financial statement are used to report information that does not fit into
the body of financial statements in order to enhance the understandability of the financial
statements..
The purpose of the notes to financial statements is "to provide the necessary disclosures
required.
