Objective 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.

    ChecklistRequired

    • Assets and liabilities presented as current and non-current, unless a liquidity presentation is more relevant
    • Criteria of a current asset examined: normal cycle, trading, 12 months, cash
    • Criteria of a current liability examined, including the right to defer settlement for at least 12 months

Judgment: right to defer settlement

Judgment

IAS 1 §72AIAS 1 §72B

  • Right to defer settlement at the closing date

    JudgmentRequired

    Right existing at the closing date: portion beyond 12 months classified as non-current

    Right existing at the closing date: portion beyond 12 months classified as non-current / Right not existing at the closing date: borrowing classified as current / Not applicable

    Professional judgment: the right is assessed at the closing date; a waiver obtained after that date does not create a right existing at the closing date.

  • Rationale: covenants to be complied with at the closing date or before, position at the closing date, date of the waiver
