Objective of the workpaper

Record profit or loss, the other comprehensive income items split between items that will be reclassified and items that will not, the movements in equity, the accounting policies and the judgments and estimates of the entity. Compute total comprehensive income, reconcile the closing balance of equity, then prepare the plan of the notes. The amounts, the policies and the assumptions are case data; the materiality of the information remains a judgment.

Judgments: accounting policy information, judgments and estimates

Judgment

IAS 1 §117

  • Materiality of the accounting policy information

    JudgmentRequired

    Not applicable

    Material information to disclose / Immaterial information: omitted or shortened / Not applicable

    Professional judgment: information about a policy can be material by its nature even if the amounts are not; standardised information repeating the standard rarely is.

  • Rationale: influence on the decisions of the primary users, nature of the transaction, choice of the entity

    Text

  • Judgments and estimation uncertainty to disclose

    JudgmentRequired

    Not applicable

    Judgment to disclose: most significant effect on the amounts / Estimation uncertainty to disclose: risk of significant adjustment next year / No disclosure required / Not applicable

    Professional judgment: a judgment made in applying a policy is distinct from an estimation assumption; each has its own disclosure requirement.

  • Rationale: nature of the judgment or assumption, sensitivity, horizon of the next year
