A note on the importance of
measurement
Accounting = a set of rules determining recognition, measurement and display that defines mapping
a company’s financial position into its financial statements.

 Recognition: when do we recognize something?
 Measurement= how do we measure something to put it in the balance sheet?
 Display: how should the financial statements look like? (loose form)

INCOME-BASED APPROACH
 Make the balance sheet based on the income statement
 Starts from transactions that took place
 Relies on historical costs, accrual accounting and matching
 Advantages:
o Intuitively meaningful
o Element of reliability because of the observable transactions
 Disadvantage:
o Values of assets and equity are valued at historical cost (may be outdated)


BALANCE SHEET-BASED APPROACH
 Make the income statement based on the balance sheet
 Relies on current values of assets and liabilities
o What will the assets and liabilities will cost/generate in the future?
o Value of A & L = discounted value of expected future cash flows
 Determine current values through either market prices or estimates
o Clean surplus income = ALL value changes in A & L are included in the income state
calculation
 Income = ∆value assets - ∆value liabilities
 Disadvantage: huge impact on the calculation of ratios
 Increases volatility  decreases share price
o >< Dirty surplus accounting = value changes are directly booked in A & L, not via
income statement
 Advantage: less volatility, better for the companies (lobby)

 Important to take into account that money that you put in equity of a company, can not be

, Chapter 1: the IASB and its
conceptual framework
IFRS are set by the IASB (International Accounting Standard Board)

 Funded by contributions from major accounting firms, private financial institutions and
industrial companies, central and development banks, etc.
 They began to realize the importance of having common standards in all areas of the
financial reporting chain

ADVANTAGES OF IFRS
 Easier comparison
 Worldwide the same standard in case of subsidiaries
 Easier to raise capital abroad
 Higher quality of accounting but audit is still necessary

IFRS IN EUROPE: ALL LISTED COMPANIES HAVE TO
APPLY IFRS
 European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG)
o Ensures that European views are taken into account when developing new standards
o Provides advice to the European Commission about the standards
 Endorsement process
o IASB adopts new standard, an amendment or a new interpretation
o EFRAG provides advice to the European Commission
o European Commission decides weather or not to endorse, drafts a regulation and
submits this to the ARC (Accounting Regulatory Committee)
o If ARC agrees, draft is sent to European Parliament and Council for 3 months scrutiny
period
o If everything is ok, the commission adopts the endorsing regulation


IFRS IN THE US
 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
 Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
 Convergence plan between IASB and FASB

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN IFRS AND US GAAP
 IFRS does not permit LIFO
 US GAAP requires development cost to be expensed when the incur (no capitalization)
 US GAAP does not allow for revaluations of tangible and intangible assets

THE PURPOSE OF THE CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
 To assist in developing a consistent set of standards & dealing with topics not covered by a
standard
o To assist preparers of financial statements
o To assist auditors in forming an opinion
o To assist users in the interpretation of information

,  When a user is in doubt, go back to the framework to find guidance
