    SECTION A - CASE 2: AERODYNAMICS LOGISTICS

    AeroDynamics Logistics is a drone delivery startup. You are the audit senior for the year ended 30 September 20X6. During the audit, you note the following:

    1. The company has a significant cash burn rate and its main operating license expires in two months, with renewal pending a safety review.
    2. On 15 October 20X6, a major warehouse fire destroyed 40% of their drone fleet.
    3. A key customer, accounting for 25% of revenue, declared bankruptcy on 5 November 20X6.
      The financial statements are due to be signed on 30 November 20X6.

    Assuming the key customer owed AeroDynamics a material balance at 30 September 20X6, how should the customer's bankruptcy on 5 November 20X6 be treated?

    Answer options:

    A.

    As a non-adjusting event, requiring disclosure only.

    B.

    As an adjusting event, requiring the receivables balance at 30 September 20X6 to be written down or provided against.

    C.

    It should be ignored as the bankruptcy occurred after the year-end.

    D.

    As an adjusting event, requiring revenue for the entire year to be reversed.

    How to approach this question

    Apply IAS 10 rules for customer bankruptcy after year-end regarding year-end receivable balances.

    Full Answer

    B.As an adjusting event, requiring the receivables balance at 30 September 20X6 to be written down or provided against.✓ Correct
    Under IAS 10, the bankruptcy of a customer after the reporting period usually confirms that a loss existed at the end of the reporting period on a trade receivable. It is an adjusting event, and the receivable must be adjusted (written down).

    Common mistakes

    Classifying it as non-adjusting because the legal bankruptcy happened after year-end.
