Exam focus point. It is unlikely that there would be a 15 mark question solely on interpretation in the exam.
However, interpretation could easily form part of a 15 mark question and test the skills covered in this question.
Interpretation could also be tested in a multiple-choice question, such as those included in section 26 of this Kitfair.

(2) is the IASBs Conceptual framework description of the purpose of financial statements. (1) is false although the supplier needs to know the current situation, the supplier also needs to be able to assess
future prospects to ensure the entity has the ability to pay and to support an ongoing relationship.
(1) is incorrect, the presentation or classification can be changed if there is a significant change in the
nature of operations, if an IFRS requires it or if a review of the accounts indicates a more appropriate
presentation. (2) is incorrect, companies should not make provisions in order to smooth profits,
provisions should only be made in accordance with IAS 37.
The Statement of Financial Position contains a list of all the assets owned and all the liabilities owed by
a business.
The Statement of Profit or Loss contains a record of income generated and expenditure incurred over a
given period.
The IFRS Foundation does not focus primarily on the needs of global, multi-national organisations. One
of the objectives of the foundation is to take account of the financial reporting needs of emerging
economies and small and medium-sized entities (SMEs).
One of the ways IFRSs are used is as an international benchmark for those countries which develop
their own requirements.

Continuous inventory reduces the need for physical inventory counts, but in practice periodic counts are
needed to ensure that the recorded quantities of inventory match the physical quantities that are held
(and, for example, there have not been significant losses of inventory due to theft).

Jo is correct. A business that does not have cash available to fund operations is likely to fail
An investor must have significant influence over the investee in order for the investee to be classified as
an associate. If the investor holds 20% or more of the voting power of the entity, significant influence
can be assumed (unless it can clearly be shown that this is not the case). Therefore 1 is true. For an
investee to be classified as a subsidiary, the investor (the parent) must have control over the investee
(the subsidiary). Control can be demonstrated if the investor has the power to appoint the majority of
board members of the investee, so 2 is true. 3 is incorrect because the power to govern the financial
and operating policies of F make F a subsidiary of E. Likewise, 4 is incorrect as the power to govern the
financial and operating policies of H makes H a subsidiary of G.
There is an opportunity to reclassify some cash outflows that might have been reported in the operating
section as investing cash outflows. For example, questionable capitalisation of expenses.
