Considerations:
XYZ Corporation, a publicly traded company, operates in the
technology sector. The fiscal year-end is December 31. The financial
statements are typically issued in March following the year-end.
As of December 31, Year 1, XYZ Corporation is finalizing its financial
statements. However, subsequent events occur after the year-end that
may impact the financial statements. The key events are as follows:
In January Year 2, XYZ Corporation experiences a significant decline in
the market value of its inventory due to unforeseen technological
changes. The decline affects the carrying amount of the inventory as
of December 31, Year 1.
In February Year 2, XYZ Corporation's major supplier declares
bankruptcy. This bankruptcy jeopardizes the continuity of the supply
chain and may result in the impairment of certain assets recorded on
the balance sheet as of December 31, Year 1.
In March Year 2, the government announces a new tax regulation
impacting XYZ Corporation's future tax liabilities. The regulation is
enacted after December 31, Year 1, but its effects must be considered
in the financial statements.
The accounting team must evaluate how to incorporate these
subsequent events into the financial statements for the year ended
December 31, Year 1. They need to determine the appropriate
recognition, measurement, and disclosure for each event.
