I am having trouble understanding backflush accounting is there a simple way to explain it to me?
Thanks.
Traditionally, (and in Paper F2), if production goes through several processes we do costings for each process and value the work-in-progress at each stage.
With backflush accounting, we assume they are keeping minimum inventories and do not account for each process separately (and value any work-in-progress simply at the cost of materials).
However, backflush is being taken out of the syllabus next year and it is therefore very unlikely indeed to be examined this time.
