For each class of financial assets and liabilities, the entity shall disclose the fair value of that class of financial assets and liabilities in a manner that allows comparison with the corresponding carrying amount on the balance sheet. Why do you think that these disclosures contribute to improving the quality of information for users of financial statements? Comment critically
In accordance with AASB 9, the recognition of a financial asset or financial liability will be influenced by considerations as to whether there is a contractual right to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially favourable, or potentially unfavourable, to the entity. Explain what this requirement means.
The Conceptual Framework
The IASB's Framework for the preparation and presentation of financial statements, sets out
the concepts that underlie the preparation and presentation of financial statements that
external users are likely to rely on when making economic decisions about an entity. In
addition the Framework sets out the recognition criteria for assets and liabilities, which is of
particular importance.
Required:
a. Explain the purpose of the Framework
b. Define assets and liabilities and explain the important aspects of their definitions.
Explain why these definitions are of particular importance for the preparation of an
entity's statement of financial position and income statement.
