Context
Tavelle SA (fictitious entity), a logistics company, closes its accounts on 31 December 20X6; the financial statements are authorised for issue on 12 March 20X7. It has three bank borrowings, two of which carry covenants. You prepare the classification of each borrowing, the reclassification entry, the total of current liabilities and the disclosure. This standard applies until IFRS 18 applies (annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027); the IFRS 18 course presents what changes.
Assignment
Classification of borrowings A, B and C and total of current liabilities
Purpose of the workpaper
Record the amount of the borrowing, the 12-month repayment schedule, the covenants (test date, required level, position at the closing date) and the waiver agreements with their date. The classification depends on the rights that exist at the closing date and not on the intentions of management: compute the non-current portion, judge the right to defer, prepare the reclassification entry and the total of current liabilities. The amounts, the due dates and the covenant thresholds are case data.
