Unauthorized copying, distribution, or transmission of this pageis prohibitedCHAPTER 13NON-FINANCIAL AND CURRENT LIABILITIESCHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES1.Understand the importance of non-financial and current liabilities from a businessperspective.Cash flow management is a key control factor for most businesses. Takingadvantage of supplier discounts for prompt payment is one step companies can take. Control ofexpenses and related accounts payable can improve the efficiency of a business, and can beparticularly important during economic downturns.2.Define liabilities, distinguish financial liabilities from other liabilities, and identify howthey are measured.Liabilities are defined as present obligations of an entity arising from pasttransactions or events that are settled through a transfer of economic resources in the future.They must be enforceable on the entity. Financial liabilities are a subset of liabilities. They arecontractual obligations to deliver cash or other financial assets to another party, or to exchangefinancial instrumentswith another party under conditions that are potentially unfavourable.Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently either at amortizedcost or fair value. ASPE does not specify how non-financial liabilities are measured.However,unearned revenues are generally measured at the fair value of the goods or services to bedelivered in the future, while others are measured at the best estimate of the resources neededto settle the obligation. Under IFRS, non-financial liabilities other than unearned revenues aremeasured at the best estimate of the amount the entity would rationally pay at the date of thestatement of financial position to settle the present obligation.3.Define current liabilities and identify and account for common types of currentliabilities.Current liabilities are obligations that are payable within one year from the date of thestatement of financial position or within the operating cycle if the cycle is longer than a year.IFRS also includes liabilities held for trading and any obligation where the entity does not havean unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months after the date of the statement offinancial position. There are several types of current liabilities. The most common are accountsand notes payable, and payroll-related obligations.4.Identify and account for the major types of employee-related liabilities.Employee-related liabilities include (1) payroll deductions, (2) compensated absences, and (3) profit-sharing and bonus agreements. Payroll deductions are amounts that are withheld fromemployees and result in an obligation to the government or other party. The employer’smatching contributions are also included in this obligation. Compensated absences earned byemployees are company obligations that are recognized as employees earn an entitlement tothem, as long as they can be reasonably measured. Bonuses based on income are accrued asan expense and liability as the income is earned.

Unauthorized copying, distribution, or transmission of this page isprohibited13-25.Explain the recognition, measurement, and disclosure requirements fordecommissioning and restoration obligations.A decommissioning, restoration, or assetretirement obligation (ARO) is an estimate of the costs a company is obliged to incur when itretires certain assets. It is recorded as a liability and is usually long-term in nature. Under ASPE,only legal obligations are recognized. They are measured at thebest estimate of the cost tosettle them at the date of the statement of financial position,and the associated cost is includedas part of the cost of property, plant, and equipment. Under IFRS, both legal and constructiveobligations are recognized. They are measured at the amount the entity would rationally pay tobe relieved of the obligation,and are capitalized as part of PP&E or to inventory, if due toproduction activities. Over time, the liability is increased for the time value of money and theasset costs are amortized to expense. Entities disclose information about the nature of theobligation and how it is measured, with more disclosures required under IFRS than ASPE.6.Explain the issues and account for unearned revenues.When an entity receivesproceeds in advance or for multiple deliverables, unearned revenue is recognized to the extentthe entity has not yet performed. This is measured at the fair value of the remaining goods orservices that will be delivered. When costs remain to be incurred in revenue transactions wherethe revenue is considered earned and has been recognized, estimated liabilities and expensesare recognized at the best estimate of the application of the matching concept.7.Explain the issues and account for product guarantees and other customer programobligations.Historically, an expense approach has been used to account for the outstandingliability, but some recent standards have movedtoward the revenue approach. Under theexpense approach, the outstanding liability is measured at the cost of the economic resourcesneeded to meet the obligation. The assumption is that along with the liability that is required tobe recognized at the reporting date, the associated expense needs to be measured andmatched with the revenues of the period. Under the revenue approach, the outstanding liabilityis measured at the value of the obligation. The proceeds received for any goods or services yetto be delivered or performed are considered to be unearned at the point of sale. Until therevenue is earned, the obligation—the liability—is reported at its sales or fair value. The liabilityis then reduced as the revenue is earned.8.Explain and account for contingencies and uncertain commitments, and identify theaccounting and reporting requirements for guarantees and commitments.Under existingstandards, a loss is accrued and a liability recognized if (1) information that is available beforethe issuance of the financial statements shows that it is likely (or more likely than not underIFRS) that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements, and (2) the lossamount can be reasonably estimated (under IFRS,it would be a rare situation where this couldnot be done). An alternative approach likely to be required in new standards being developed bythe IASB is described in the Looking Ahead section of the chapter.Guarantees in general are accounted for similarly to contingencies. Commitments, orcontractual obligations, do not usually result in a liability at the date of the statement of financialposition. Information about specific types of outstanding commitments is reported at the date ofthe statement of financial position.

Non-Financial and Current LiabilitiesCopyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons Canada, Ltd. Unauthorized copying, distribution, or transmission of this page is prohibited13-39.Indicate how non-financial and current liabilities are presented and analyzed.Currentliability accounts are commonly presented as the first classification in the liability section of thestatement of financial position, although under IFRS, a common presentation is to presentcurrent assets and liabilities at the bottom of the statement. Within the current liability section,the accounts may be listed in order of their maturity or in order of their liquidation preference.IFRS requires information about and reconciliations of any provisions. Additional information isprovided so that there is enough to meet the requirement of full disclosure. Information aboutunrecognized loss contingencies is reported in notes to the financial statements, including theirnature and estimates of possible losses. Commitments at year end that are significant in size,risk, or time are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, with significantly moreinformation required under IFRS. Three common ratios used to analyze liquidity are the current,acid-test, and days payables outstanding ratios.10. Identify differences in accounting between IFRS and ASPE and what changes areexpected in the near future.Private enterprise and international standards are substantiallythe same. However, there are some classification differences. ASPE does not address“provisions,” and there are differences related to which decommissioning and restorationliabilities are recognized and how the costs are capitalized, and how the probability andmeasurement criteria are applied to contingencies. In addition, requiresconsiderably moredisclosure. Looking ahead, revisions to the existing standards are being proposed by the IASBand FASB that will likely be applied, at least in part, underCICA Handbook, Part II in the future.The major changes relate to the recognition and measurement standards for non-financialliabilities.
