Section A
Which TWO of the following are classified as adjusting events after the reporting period under IAS 10?
Answer options:
A.
The bankruptcy of a major customer shortly after the year-end, relating to a debt outstanding at the year-end
B.
A major fire destroying the company's main warehouse two weeks after the year-end
C.
The declaration of an ordinary dividend after the reporting period
D.
The discovery of a fraud that shows the financial statements are incorrect
How to approach this question
Identify events that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period (adjusting) versus events that arose after the reporting period (non-adjusting).
Full Answer
Adjusting events provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period. A customer going bankrupt confirms a year-end receivable was impaired. Discovering fraud confirms the year-end figures were wrong. Fires and dividend declarations after year-end are non-adjusting.
Common mistakes
Treating dividends declared after year-end as an adjusting event.
