Events after the reporting period are defined as events which occur between the end of reporting date and the date when the financial statements are authorized for issue.These events are significant events both favourable and unfavourable which have occurred during the intervening period between the reporting date and authorization date.

IAS 10 prescribes:

Circumstances when an entity should adjust its financial statements for events after the reporting period and

Disclosures which an entity has to give about the date of authorization of the financial statements and events after the reporting period


CLASSIFICATION OF EVENTS

EVENTS OCCURING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

Adjusting Events

Non-Adjusting

Events

Events that provide evidence

of conditions existed at the reporting date

Events that arose subsequent to the

reporting date


ADJUSTING EVENT Adjusting event is an event

occurring after the reporting period that provides further evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period,

including an event that indicates that the going concern assumption in relation to the whole or part of the enterprise is not appropriate


ADJUSTING EVENT TYPES OF ADJUSTING EVENTSFixed Assets: The subsequent determination of

the purchase price or of the proceeds of sale of assets purchased or sold before the year-end.

Investments: The receipt of a copy of the financial statements or other information in respect of an unlisted company which provides evidence of a diminution other than temporary in the value of a long term investment.

liabilityBeginning of a litigation that arises out of events

happening after reporting date.

NON-ADJUSTING EVENT


GOING CONCERN ISSUES An entity shall not prepare its financial

statements on a going concern basis if the management determines after the reporting date

either that it intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading or that it has no realistic alternative but to do so

Deterioration in operating results and financial position after the reporting period may indicate a need to consider whether the going concern assumption is still appropriate


IAS 10 THROUGH A FEW EXAMPLES

EXAMPLES OF ADJUSTING EVENTSExample 1Facts :- Settlement of a court case after the

reporting date – A client sued the company for damage

against the company’s failure to fulfil warranty amounting to Rs. 2 Lacs. The company created a provision of Rs. 1 lac based on legal advice.

After the end of reporting period but before the date of authorization of financial statements the court decided against the company and a compensation of Rs. 1.5 lac was awarded.


Analysis of Example 1 :-

This issue is covered in IAS 10.9(a). The entity shall adjust the previously recognized provision under IAS 37 or create a new provision.

It has now to provide for addition of Rs. 0.5 lac. The entity does not merely disclose a contingent liability since the settlement provides an additional evidence.


Example 2Facts :- After approval of the accounts by the board

of directors, your client a construction company met a rocky surface on a project, against which it expects a non-reimbursable cost of Rs. 80 Lacs. The project is expected to be a loss project and the entire estimated loss other than Rs. 80 lacs has already been provided for. The audit report has not been issued. The amount is material. Advise on the accounting.



The condition of rocky surface existed on the balance sheet date, though it was identified after the balance sheet date. The Board of Directors should revise the financial statements, since the accounts are still not audited.

Had the accounts been audited and approved at the AGM, revision would have not been permissible.


Example 3Facts :- Whether a liability on wage revisions for

past periods on which agreement was reached or expected to reach after the balance sheet date to be recognized at the balance sheet date?



The company was aware on the balance sheet date, that the revision of past wages was probable as it had sent proposals in respect thereof although the final amount was subject to approval of the government and settlement with its workers.

Since the condition about the wage revision existed at the balance sheet date the liability arising from wage revision subsequent to the balance sheet date but in respect of past wages should be provided in the accounts based on a best estimate.


EXAMPLES OF NON-ADJUSTING EVENTSExample 1

Cheques received after the balance sheet date but bearing Balance Sheet or Pre Balance Sheet Date:-

In accordance with ICAI opinion, published in the ICAI journal of February 2005, cheques received after the balance sheet date, though containing the balance sheet date or pre balance sheet date should not be recognized in the financial statements. This is in accordance with the accounting framework for recognition of assets and liabilities.

IAS 10 THROUGH A FEW EXAMPLES


COMPARISON OF ADJUSTING & NON-ADJUSTING EVENT

Particulars

CASE I CASE II

Facts of the Example

Due to destruction of the factory by fire on 15th March, 1993, X, one of the Company’s debtors declared himself insolvent on 15th April, 1993. Advice your client on the treatment for the year ended 31st March, 1993

On 15th April, 1993 due to destruction of the factory by fire X, one of the company’s debtors, declared himself insolvent. Advice your client in the treatment for the year ended on 31st March, 1993


COMPARISON OF ADJUSTING & NON-ADJUSTING EVENT

Particulars

Adjusting Event (I) Non-Adjusting Event (II)

Analysis of the Example

Since the fire took place before the year end, the condition of insolvency was existing at the balance sheet date. Thus it is an adjusting event for which a provision of doubtful debt needs to be created at the balance sheet date.

Since the fire took place on 15th April, 1993 as a result of which the debtor became insolvent, it is not a condition at the balance sheet date. Thus, it is non-adjusting event and provision of debtors is not required to be made at the balance sheet date. However, appropriate disclosures are required to be made in the report of the board of directors.


DISCLOSURES UNDER IAS 10 Disclosure of Authorization:

An entity should disclose the date when the financial statements were authorized for issue and who gave that authorization.

If the owners of the entity or others have the power to amend the financial statements after issuance, the fact is disclosed


DISCLOSURES UNDER IAS 10 Updating Disclosures :

An entity shall update disclosure that relate to the conditions that existed at the reporting date in the light of any new information that it receives after the reporting about those conditions.


COMPARISON OF IAS 10 & AS-4

Item of Difference

IAS 10 AS 4

Adjusting & Non-adjusting event

Amounts recognized in the financial statements should be adjusted for events that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date and should not be adjusted for events that provide evidence of conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date.

Similar to IFRS, Under AS 4, non-adjusting events are required to be disclosed in the report of the approving authority, for example, the board report.

Authorization date for issue of Financial Statements

The date of authorization for issue of financial statements should be specifically mentioned in the financial statements itself as required by IAS 10

No such requirement


COMPARISON OF IAS 10 & AS-4

Item of Difference

IAS 10 AS 4

Proposed Dividend

If dividends to holders of equity instruments are proposed or declared after the balance sheet date, an entity should not recognize those dividends as a liability at the balance sheet date. Proposed Dividend is a non-adjusting event.

The companies are required to make provision for proposed dividend, even though the same are declared after the balance sheet date.


Comparison of AS 4( Revised 20XX), IAS 10 & IFRIC 17Requirements contained in the AS 4 (Revised 20XX) same

as those contained in IAS 10 No difference between the AS 4 (Revised 20XX), IAS 10

and, IFRIC 17


Conflicting issues with Schedule VI

Dividend declared entity after the reporting period, is not recognised as a liability at end of the reporting period under AS 4 (Revised 20XX). Such dividend required to be disclosed in notes to balance sheet, in accordance with AS 1 (Revised 20XX)

In contrast, dividend declared but not paid or proposed dividend both shown as liability in financial statements as per requirements of Schedule VI to the Companies Act, 1956


APPLICATION AT TIME OF IMPLEMENTING IFRS 1At date of transition to IFRS, an entity may need to

make estimates under IFRS that were not required at that date under Indian GAAP

To achieve consistency with IAS 10, those estimates under IFRS shall reflect conditions that existed at the date of transition to IFRS

Eg: a constructive obligation that was not recognised under Indian GAAP should be included in opening IFRS Balance Sheet using estimates for expected future cash outflows and discount rates that existed at that time
