(a)
Whether any adjustment in financial statement is required? – Yes
Explanations – No adjustments are required in the previous years 2014 and 2015, as the change in estimated useful life is a change in accounting estimates. This change is required as business is full of uncertainties and to account for these uncertainties certain estimates are made, these estimates are known as accounting estimates. But due to change in situations, these estimates also gets changed, hence the management is required to take the impact of these change in estimates in the books.
As per para 36 of AASB 108, any change in accounting estimate should be recognized prospectively in the profit and loss of current periods and future periods only. As the change in useful life of the equipment, is a change of accounting estimates, hence its impact should be considered prospectively only. Thus, the depreciation for FY 2015-16 and onwards, will be calculated on the revised useful life of the equipment.
Accounting treatment – The journal entry for the year 2016 as per revised estimate is as below:
Depreciation $ 66,667
To Accumulated depreciation $ 66,667

(b)
Whether any adjustment in financial statement is required? – Yes
Explanations – The adjustment relates to the prior period error of not recording the expense and its corresponding provision. As per para 42 of AASB 108 “Accounting Policies, Change in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, an entity shall correct material prior period errors retrospectively in the first set of financial statements authorized for issue after their discovery by: (a) restating the comparative amounts for the prior period(s) presented in which the error occurred; or (b) if the error occurred before the earliest prior period presented, restating the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest prior period presented (“Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, 2018).
Hence, as per the above treatment, the correction should be made in the comparative figures of 2015 shown in the 2016 financials, by revising the expense and payable amounts and the relative correction should also be made in the year 2016 to reflect the correct amounts.
Accounting treatment – The journal entry for the year 2016 is as below:
Retained earnings $ 25,000
To Cash $ 25,000
Income tax receivable $7,500
To Retained earnings $ 7,500
(c)
Whether any adjustment in financial statement is required? – No
Explanations – As per AASB 110, “Events after Reporting Date”, two types of events are there, one is adjusting event and another is non-adjusting events. Adjusting events are those whose evidences are available as on the reporting date. On the other hand, non-adjusting events are those whose indication of occurrence are not present on the reporting date and they have arisen subsequent to reporting date (“Events after the Reporting Period”, 2018).
Since, in the given case, there is no indication of fall in the fair value of investments as on the date of reporting and only comes in the picture subsequent to reporting date. Hence, it is a non-adjusting event. As per para 10 of AASB 110, an entity shall not adjust the amounts recognized in its financial statements to reflect non-adjusting events after the reporting period and hence no adjustment is required in the financial statements of 2016.
However, as per para 21 of AASB 110, the company is required to given some additional disclosures in its notes to accounts which relates to providing details of the nature of event and the estimate of its financial impact.
Accounting treatment – No accounting treatment, only disclosure is required in the notes to the financial statements stating
Nature of Event – Reduction in value of investment made by company in Bobsmith Ltd, due to sudden fall in stock market.
Estimated financial impact – $350,000
(d)
Whether any adjustment in financial statement is required? – Yes
Explanations – As per AASB 110, it is an adjusting event, since the fact that the amount is unrecoverable from debtor is present on the reporting date,( as the management has made a provision for doubtful debts of 50% as on the reporting date). Para 9 of AASB 110, states that an entity shall adjust the amounts recognized in its financial statements to reflect adjusting events after the reporting period.
Hence, the company needs to record the remaining provision in the financial statements.
Accounting Treatment – The accounting treatment of this is to make provision for the full amount of debts gone into bankruptcy, the allowance for doubtful debts to the extent of 50% is already made in the financials, so the journal entry for remaining 50% is also required to be made, which is as follows:
Doubtful debt expense $ 450,000
To Provision for doubtful debts $ 450,000
