Regulatory framework

AAamir9y ago
Hi Mike, As per lec note, pg 3: A conceptual framework • framework has been developed defined as “a constitution, a coherent system of interrelated objectives and fundamentals which can lead to consistent standards and which prescribe the nature, function and limits of financial accounting and financial statements” • generally accepted accounting practice ( gaap ) • a combination of: • each country’s own law • international financial reporting standards • stock exchange requirements Does this mean GAAP is an example of a regulatory framework?

No, it means that GAAP is developed and developing using the Framework as a structure within which to work There's a good article that explains the role of the Framework here: https://www.accaglobal.com/content/dam/acca/global/pdf/sa_mar11_f7p2.pdf

Thanks Mike. I will appreciate if you help me with small query on valuation of inventory: Inventory is valued at lower of Cost & NRV. Cost includes purchase cost, conversion and others. Purchase cost includes purchase price but excludes trade discount. Does it exclude cash discount as well?

sorry I just read the point on discount in the notes. Thanks :)

OK, but when you start a new topic, please start a new thread! Someone not interested in regulatory framework may be interested in inventory values but will miss it because of the misleading title
