One of the underlying assumptions of the Historical Cost Principle is that a stable unit of measure (currency) should be used for Financial Reporting. Is this always the case? The Historical Cost Principle is not very useful when inflation rates are high. As a result of the eroding purchase power associated with periods of high inflation, many countries have had to experiment with price-level adjustments. These adjustments often include asset revaluations to reflect their current values.

Topic: 01-01 The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting Topic: 01-02 Professional Judgment 15. X Inc. and Y Inc. are virtually identical companies with identical cost structures and very similar business practices operating in the same lines of business. X Inc. is a public company based in Canada and follows IFRS while Y Inc. is a private enterprise based in Canada and follows ASPE. The following were the condensed income statements for both companies for the last year before both adopted IFRS. Sales: Less: Cost of Goods Sold Gross Margin Administrative Expenses Net Income: X Inc. $1,000,000 $500,000 $500,000 $200,000 $300,000 Y Inc. $2,000,000 $1,600,000 $400,000 $300,000 $100,000 1-6 Chapter 01 - Conceptual and Case Analysis Frameworks for Financial Reporting Required: Given the information provided, what are some possible causes for the differing results of these companies? There could be many possible explanations for these differing results. Y Inc.'s net income is $100,000, compared to X Inc.'s $300,000. Conversely, Y Inc.'s sales are twice those of X Inc. What is particularly noteworthy is Y Inc.'s 20% gross margin compared to X Inc.'s 50% gross margin. This could be due to the accelerated depreciation on Y Inc.'s property, plant and equipment or provisions made for future maintenance costs. Smoothing practices may have been applied to reduce Y Inc.'s income, and of course, its tax liability. Y Inc.'s income may have been further reduced by higher estimates (for example: bad debt expense, warranty costs and so forth) which are not necessarily be indicative of economic conditions. Note: Once again, the above analysis is not necessarily exhaustive. Students may be able to identify other valid differences.

Briefly discuss the external users need for high quality financial information. External users require high quality financial information to enable them to assess the likelihood of making a reasonable return with an acceptable level of risk. It is important that the quality of the financial statements provide useful and reliable information to assess the prospects of future cash flows or future earnings. The users want the information to faithfully represent what has happened during the past period. Distorting the real situation by using accounting methods that do not match the actual situation or managing earnings to recognize revenue earlier or delay reporting expenses to a later period are not a faithful representation of the actual situation. The result is the external users are not able to make appropriate decisions as to whether to increase, decrease, or maintain their level of participation with the reporting entity in their capacity as investor, creditor, supplier, and/or customer.
