CHAPTER 4

 

REPORTING FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES

 

 

1.   Understand how firms create value and manage performance. A business is based on a basic model of obtaining financing, investing in assets, and using those assets to generate profits. Different industries have different business models. Even within an industry, different businesses may have different strategies for generating revenues. Some businesses and industries are riskier than others. Companies must decide how and whether to manage these risks. Managing risks costs money, which reduces profits. Capital markets demand greater returns for riskier businesses.

 

 

2.   Understand how users use information about performance to make decisions. Users use information about performance to evaluate past performance and profitability and to provide a basis for predicting future performance. They also use the information to help assess risk and uncertainty regarding future cash flows.

 

 

3.   Understand the concept of and be able to assess quality of earnings/information. The concept of quality of earnings is used by analysts and investors to assess how well the reported income reflects the underlying business and future potential. When assessing quality of earnings, users must consider all information about a company. High-quality earnings have various attributes, as noted in Illustration 4-4. Where the information is biased, this degrades the quality.

 

 

4.   Understand the differing perspectives on how to measure income. There are various ways to measure income, including operating income, net income, and comprehensive income. IFRS recognizes the concept of comprehensive income but this is not recognized under ASPE. Other comprehensive income consists of a set list of items identified under IFRS essentially dealing with certain unrealized gains/ losses. Under IFRS, some of these items are recycled (reclassified) to net income and some are not.

 

 

5.   Measure and report results of discontinued operations. The gain or loss on disposal of a business component involves the sum of: (1) the income or loss from operations to the financial statement date, and (2) the gain or loss on the disposal of the business component. These items are reported net of tax among the irregular items in the income statement. Related assets are identified on the balance sheet where material. Under IFRS, non-current assets are reclassified to current assets.

 

 

6.   Measure income and prepare the income statement and the statement of comprehensive income using various formats. There are many ways to present the income statement and the statement of comprehensive income. GAAP lays out certain minimum requirements but beyond that, a company has some leeway to present the information as it wishes. The goal is to ensure that the statements present information about performance in a transparent manner, including presenting items such that the users can see which are ordinary versus peripheral activities. IFRS allows the statement of comprehensive income to be presented in a combined statement or two separate statements.

By convention, companies use what is known as a single-step method or a multiple-step method (or a variation of the two).

IFRS requires entities to provide information about either the nature or function of expenses. When information is presented using function, additional disclosures should be made regarding the breakdown of the nature of expenses as the latter has good cash flow predictive value. The entity should choose the method that best reflects the nature of the business and industry.

 

 

7.   Prepare the statement of retained earnings and the statement of changes in equity. The retained earnings statement should disclose net income (loss), dividends, prior period adjustments, and transfers to and from retained earnings (appropriations). This statement is required under ASPE.

The statement of changes in equity is a required statement under IFRS and takes the place of the statement of changes in retained earnings. It shows all changes in all equity accounts including accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

 

8.   Understand how disclosures and analysis help users of financial statements assess performance. Disclosures include notes and supplementary information. They provide background and explanatory information necessary to understand the business. Investors and analysts use quality of earnings analysis to help determine a company’s value.

 

 

9.   Identify differences in accounting between IFRS and ASPE and potential changes. The chart in Illustration 4-22 outlines the major differences. The IASB was in the research project stages regarding financial performance reporting.

 

 

10.                Explain the differences between the cash basis of accounting and the accrual basis of accounting. Accrual basis accounting provides information about cash inflows and outflows associated with earnings activities as soon as these cash flows can be estimated with an acceptable degree of certainty. The cash basis focuses on when cash is received or disperses, and therefore it is not the best predictor of future cash flows if the company has irregular cash flow patterns.
