    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:

    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?

    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
