Why are we crediting accruals for example 1. Shouldn’t it sent to any reserve?
October 23, 2020 at 1:06 pm #592936Dear Teacher,
I have a question regarding the initial measurement of right of use asset. If a question states that before the commencement of the lease agreement, a deposit was made that is not the same figure as the annual payments required or if a payment was made in advance before the commencement date that was the same as the annual payments required, do we need to add the deposit to the initial figure or do we ignore it? What will be the respective treatment?October 23, 2020 at 8:50 pm #592983zaynahmohammed24 wrote:Why are we crediting accruals for example 1. Shouldn’t it sent to any reserve?
Why would it go to a reserve? We’re recognising an expense that we’ve not paid for, hence an accrual.
Thanks
