Hello, I was doing a multitask question on ACCA StudyHub. Inclusion of "Bank overdraft that is held all year" in cash and cash equivalent was stated incorrect, as per IAS 7, in the answer.
I have watched the lectures, plus read the notes from StudyHub but I still don't understand why that's not included.

Question regarding exclusion of Overdraft from cash and cash equivalent calculat
2y ago#1It is because if the bank overdraft stays the same all year then it is effectively the same as a long-term loan and so is treated as such.
So you mean if we apply the same analogy to a positive bank balance which stays the same all year, we no longer have to classify it under cash and cash equivalents?
2y ago#3No - it is not analogous. A positive bank balance will always be included under cash and cash equivalents.
thank you
2y ago#5You are welcome :-)
