transferred during the year and this amount should be allocated between pre and
post-acquisition based on time proportion. Therefore, the general reserve on the
date of acquisition will be ` 50,000 + 50% of ` 75,000 i.e. ` 37,500 = ` 87,500.
Here, it should be noted that the date of bonus issue is 28 th February, 2023 and
bonus amount is ` 50,000. Since the balance of post-acquisition general reserve
(50% of ` 75,000 i.e. ` 37,500) is insufficient, it is assumed that bonus shares are
issued from pre-acquisition general reserve i.e. balance on the date of acquisition
assuming that transfer to general reserve, in general, is an appropriation of profit
which is done at the end of the year. This implies that outstanding balance in
general reserve at the time of bonus issue is the opening balance.

However, one may assume otherwise like insufficient post-acquisition balance of
` 12,500 (50,000 – 37,500) has only been adjusted through pre-acquisition share
of ` 87,500 or first adjustment of bonus issue has been done and later bifurcation
of remaining balance has been done into pre and post-acquisition. In such a case
balance of consolidated general reserve (post-acquisition), net worth, bargain
purchase and NCI will undergo a change.

circulars and notifications related to 'Corporate Social Responsibility' (CSR), discuss the
following situations:
(i) A company is formed under section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013 to undertake
charitable activities. The management of the Company is of the opinion that since
all the activities of the Company are charitable in the normal course of business,
the CSR provisions are not applicable to it. You are required to advise whether the
CSR provisions are applicable to the Company. The Company fulfils all the criteria
listed in section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013.
(ii) C Limited is covered under the provisions of section 135 of the Companies Act,
2013. The Company fulfils all the criteria listed in section 135 of the Companies
Act, 2013. It has a holding company H Limited and a subsidiary company
S Limited. Neither H Limited nor S Limited fulfils the criteria listed in section 135
of the Companies Act, 2013. Advise whether H Limited and S Limited are required

(iii) For the financial year 2020-2021, CBC Ltd. was within the purview of CSR
provisions as per the Companies Act, 2013 as its net profit for the financial year

(b) XYZ Limited is a sales and marketing company in amusement and entertainment domain.
It negotiates and agrees in advance with four famous amusement parks to purchase their

10 FINAL EXAMINATION: NOVEMBER, 2023

Answer
(a) (i) Section 135 of the Companies Act applies to every company meeting the specified
criteria. As per section 2(20) of the Companies Act, ‘company’ means a company
incorporated under the Companies Act or under any other previous company law.
This implies that companies set up for the purposes of CSR / public welfare are
also required to comply with the provisions of CSR since they are incorporated
under the Companies Act.
Further, as per clause 2(d) of the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility
Policy) Rule, 2014, “Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)” means the activities
undertaken by a Company in pursuance of its statutory obligati on laid down in
section 135 of the Act in accordance with the provisions contained in these rules
but shall not include activities undertaken in pursuance of normal course of
business of the company except research work. Therefore, though all the activiti es
of the company are charitable in nature, they are activities in the normal course of
their business. Hence, those activities do not constitute activities of corporate
social responsibility.
Based on the above discussions, since the company formed under section 8 of the
Companies Act, 2013 is a company under the Companies Act, 2013 and fulfills the
criteria prescribed under section 135(1) of the Companies Act, 2013, CSR
provisions will be applicable to it.
(ii) Any company incorporated under the Act, which fulfills the criteria on a standalone
basis, irrespective of its status of holding or subsidiary, needs to comply with CSR
provisions. Since neither H Limited nor S Limited fulfils the criteria listed in section
135(1) of the Companies Act, 2013, H Limited and S Limited both are not required
to comply with the requirements of Section 135 relating to CSR.
(iii) Section 135(1) of the Companies Act requires that any company fulfilling the net
worth / turnover / net profit criterion in the immediately preceding financial year shall
constitute a Corporate Responsibility committee and sub-section (5) requires such
company to incur 2% of the average profit of the last three years. It is only a
computational requirement. Applicability of CSR provisions is based on meeting
any of the limits in the ‘immediately preceding year’. As the company does not meet
the limits in the financial year 2021-2022, the company is not required to fulfill the
CSR obligations in the financial year 2022-2023.

PAPER – 1 : FINANCIAL REPORTING 11

(iv) In cases where an expenditure of revenue nature is incurred on any of the activities
mentioned in Schedule VII to the Act by the company on its own, the same should be

m
c. o
charged as an expense to the statement of profit and loss. In case the expenditure

m
co m
incurred by the company is of such nature which may give rise to an ‘asset’, a question

m .
may arise as to whether such an ‘asset’ should be recognised by the company in its
s e
s e l a
ag
balance sheet. In this context, it would be relevant to note the definition of the term

l a
ag
‘asset’ as per the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting in accordance with
Ind AS issued by ICAI. As per the Conceptual Framework, an ‘asset’ is a “resource
controlled by an enterprise as a result of past events from which future economic
benefits are expected to flow to the enterprise”. Hence, in cases where the control of
the ‘asset’ is transferred by the company, it should not be recognised as ‘asset’ in its
books and such expenditure would need to be recognized as an expense in the
statement of profit and loss as and when incurred.
Rule (7) of the Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility) Rules, 2014 provides for

m
co
transfer of any capital asset created by the company to (i) a company established

.
under section 8 of the Act, or a Registered Public Trust or Registered Society, having

em
charitable objects and CSR Registration Number under sub-rule (2) of rule 4; or (ii)

l a s
beneficiaries of the said CSR project, in the form of self-help groups, collectives,

a g
entities; or (iii) a public authority. Proviso to rule (7) further provides that if the asset
has been created prior to amendment of the Companies (Corporate Social
Responsibility Policy) Amendment Rules, 2021, shall within a period of one hundred
and eighty days from such commencement shall transfer the same as stated above.
Since, the company has charged the expenses on construction of building to the
Statement of Profit and Loss as expenses, it is assumed that the control of the asset
has been transferred. Accordingly, the company has to disclose in its financial

m
statements as about it under CSR activities as per General Instructions for

contractual obligation, the movements in the provision during the year shall be
shown separately.
(b) To determine whether the entity’s performance obligation is to provide the specified
goods or services itself (i.e. the entity is a principal) or to arrange for another party to
provide those goods or services (i.e. the entity is an agent), the entity considers the
nature of its promise. The entity determines that its promise is to provide the customer
with a ticket, which provides the right to enter the particular amusement park on a
particular date. The entity considers the following indicators for assessment as principal
or agent under the contract with the customers:
(a) the entity is primarily responsible for fulfilling the contract, which is providing the
right to enter the amusement part. However, the entity is not responsible for
providing the services in amusement park, which will be provided by the amusement
park owner.
(b) the entity has inventory risk for the tickets because they are purchased before they
are sold to the entity’s customers and the entity is exposed to any loss as a result
of not being able to sell the tickets for more than the entity’s cost.
(c) the entity has discretion in setting the sales prices for tickets to its customers.
The entity i.e. XYZ Limited concludes that its promise is to provide a ticket (i.e. a right
to enter the amusement park on a particular date) for the customer. On the basis of the
indicators, the entity concludes that it controls the ticket before it is transferred to the
customer. Thus, the entity concludes that it is a principal in the transaction and
recognises revenue in the gross amount of consideration to which it is entitled in
exchange for the tickets transferred.

Question 3
(a) A consumer products entity, Entity A Limited (lessee) enters into a lease agreement with
Entity B Limited (lessor) for a dedicated production line to manufacture one of its store -
brand household products for a period of three years. Entity A Limited has agreed to
order a minimum 1,00,000 units per month and to make a payment to Entity B Limited
as per the following agreed rates:
(i) ` 240 per unit if the ordered quantity is between 1,00,000 to 1,20,000 units;
(ii) ` 246 per unit if the ordered quantity is between 1,20,001 to 1,50,000 units.
As per the terms of the agreement, Entity A Limited has the exclusive right to use the
production line. Entity B Limited cannot use the specified production line for any other
customer. The type of household product is specified in the contract. Entity A Limited
issues instructions to Entity B about the quantity and timing of products to be delivered.
If the production line is not producing the household product for Entity A, it remains idle.
Entity B Limited operates and maintains the production line on a daily basis. Entity
A Limited has estimated that for manufacturing each unit, Entity B Limited incurs an
average cost of ` 195. Further, the observable stand-alone price for the rent of the
production line is ` 60,00,000 per month. Entity A Limited's incremental borrowing rate
at the commencement date of the lease is 10% per annum.
Entity A Limited concludes that the arrangement contains a lease as per Ind AS 116. It
also elects not to apply the practical expedient in paragraph 15 of Ind AS 116 of not to
separate the non-lease component(s) from the lease component(s). Accordingly, it
separates non-lease components from lease components.
You are required to:
(i) Analyse the above and identify lease component(s) and non-lease
component(s);

N Ltd. sold pharmaceuticals bottles to H Ltd. for Euro 24 lakhs on 1 st February, 2023.
The cost of these bottles was ` 1660 lakhs in the books of N Ltd. at the time of sale. As
at 31 st March, 2023, all these bottles were lying as closing stock in the books of H Limited.
Also as at 31 st March, 2023, the entire amount against the supply of these bottles was
payable by H Ltd.
The functional currency of:
- H Limited is Euro; and
- N Limited is INR.
Following additional information is available:
Exchange rate on 1 st February, 2023 1 Euro = ` 83
Exchange rate on 31 st March, 2023 1 Euro = ` 85

Provide the journal entries in the books of N Ltd. and H Ltd. on the transaction date(s)
as well as 31 st March, 2023, if any. Assume net realizable value of stock was always
equal to its cost. (4 Marks)
Answer
(a) (i) and (ii) Identification of lease and non-lease components and allocation of
consideration into these components
In the given case, the agreement contains a lease component (production line) and
a non-lease component (job work). As Entity A has not elected to apply the practical
expedient as provided in paragraph 15 of Ind AS 116, it will separate the lease and
non-lease components and allocate the total consideration to the lease and non -
lease components in the ratio of their relative stand-alone selling prices.
As Entity A is required to purchase a minimum of 1,00,000 units per month at the
rate of ` 240 per unit, there is in substance fixed payment of ` 2,40,00,000 per
month – although the payments are structured as variable lease payments, there is
no genuine variability in those payments as Entity A is required to purchase a
minimum quantity 1,00,000 units per month, i.e., for ` 2,40,00,000 per month.
The observable stand-alone price for lease component (which is factory rent) is
` 60,00,000. The observable stand-alone price of non-lease component (which is
job work charges) is ` 1,95,00,000 (` 195 x 1,00,000 units).

Inventory 9,00,000 7,50,000

The entity should recognise the loss of ` 5,50,000 (` 80,00,000 - ` 74,50,000), in
accordance with applicable Ind AS, immediately before classifying it as held for sale.
Computation and allocation of impairment loss
The entity estimated that fair value less costs to sell of the disposal group amounts to
` 65,00,000.
Since the entity has classified a disposal group as held for sale it should measure it at
the lower of its carrying amount ` 74,50,000 and fair value less costs to sell ` 65,00,000
which comes to ` 65,00,000.
The entity should recognises an impairment loss of ` 9,50,000 (` 74,50,000 –
` 65,00,000) when the disposal group is initially classified as held for sale.
The Inventory and Investment are remeasured as per Ind AS 2 and Ind AS 109 at not
more than fair value at the date of remeasurement immediately classified as held for
sale.
Therefore, this impairment loss of ` 9,50,000 is allocated to remaining assets in the
proportion of their carrying value other than inventory and investment in equity
instrument. Firstly, the impairment loss reduces the amount of goodwill in the disposal
group. Then, the remaining impairment loss of ` 2,00,000 (` 9,50,000 – ` 7,50,000) is
used to other assets pro-rata based on the carrying amount of those assets as follows:

Cost is a pervasive constraint on the information that can be provided by financial
reporting. Reporting financial information imposes costs, and it is important that those
costs are justified by the benefits of reporting that information.
Both the providers and users of financial information incur costs in reporting and
analysing financial information. In applying the cost constraint, the ICAI assesses
whether the benefits of reporting particular information are likely to justify the costs
incurred to provide and use that information. When applying the cost constraint in
formulating a proposed Ind AS, the ICAI seeks information from providers of financial
information, users, auditors, academics and others about the expected nature and
quantity of the benefits and costs of that Ind AS. In most situations, assessments are
based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative information.
Because of the inherent subjectivity, different individual’s assessments of the costs and
benefits of reporting particular items of financial information will vary. Therefore, ICAI
seeks to consider costs and benefits in relation to financial reporting generally, and not
just in relation to individual reporting entities.
(b) OR
Characteristics of good financial information are:
1. Relevance
“Relevant financial information”
• Is financial information with (a) predictive value or (b) confirmatory value or
both
• Makes it capable of making a difference in decisions made by users
• Makes it relevant financial information
Financial information has predictive value if it can be used as an input to processes
employed by users to predict future outcomes. Financial information need not be a
prediction or forecast to have predictive value. Financial information with predictive
value is employed by users in making their own predictions.
Financial information has confirmatory value if it provides feedback about (confirms
or changes) previous evaluations.
The characteristic of ‘relevance’ also includes the concept of materiality.
Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be

2. Faithful Representation

m . s e
e a
To be useful, financial information must also faithfully represent the substance of

s l
a ag
the phenomena that it purports to represent. In many circumstances, the substance
l
ag
of an economic phenomenon and its legal form are the same. If they are not the
same, providing information only about the legal form would not faithfully represent
the economic phenomenon.
To be a perfectly faithful representation, a depiction would have following three
characteristics:
 Complete: A complete depiction includes all information necessary for a user
to understand the phenomenon being depicted, including all necessary
descriptions and explanations.

m
c. o
 Neutral: A neutral depiction is without bias in the selection or presentation of

emexercise of prudence. Prudence is the exercise
financial information.
Neutrality is supported by s
la judgements under conditions of uncertainty. The
the

g
a means that assets and income are not overstated and
of caution when making
exercise of prudence
liabilities and expenses are not understated.
 Free from error: Free from error means there are no errors or omissions in the
description of the phenomenon, and the process used to produce the reported
information has been selected and applied with no errors in the process. In
this context, free from error does not mean perfectly accurate in all respects.

followed accounting policies and presented for perusal of the Board of Directors showed
a surplus of ` 5 Crores. The Board in consultation with the Managing Director, decided
on the following:
(i) Value year-end Inventory at Works Cost ( ` 40 Crores) instead of hitherto method
of valuation of inventory at Prime Cost ( ` 20 Crores);
(ii) Not to provide for "After Sales Expenses" during the warranty period. Till the last
year, provision for 1% of Sales used to be made under the concept of "matching of
costs against revenue" and actual expenses used to be charged against provision.
The Board now decided to account for expenses as and when actually they are
incurred. Sales during the year was ` 800 Crores;
(iii) Provide depreciation for the year on Straight Line Method on account of substantial
additions in Gross Block during the year, instead of on Reducing Balance Method,
which was hitherto adopted. As a consequence, ` 21 Crores depreciation is now
less charged than it would have been provided under the old method. ( ` 67 Crores
on Reducing Balance method and ` 46 Crores in Straight Line Method).
(iv) Provide for other than temporary fall in the value of investments, which fall took
place in last 6 years, amounting to ` 12 Crores.
Discuss the above situations as per applicable Ind AS, particularly Ind AS 8. Whether
the above are changes in accounting policies or changes in estimates? (5 Marks)
Answer
(a) Ind AS 101 prescribes an optional exemption from retrospective restatement in relation
to past business combinations. Ind AS 101 prescribes that when the past business
combinations are not restated and a parent entity had not consolidated an entity as a
subsidiary in accordance with its previous GAAP (either because it was not regarded as
a subsidiary or no consolidated financial statements were required un der previous
GAAP), then the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities would be included in the parent’s
opening consolidated financial statements at such values as would appear in the
subsidiary’s separate financial statements if the subsidiary were to adopt th e Ind AS as
at the parent’s date of transition. For this purpose, the subsidiary’s separate financial
statements would be prepared as if it was a first-time adopter of Ind AS i.e. after applying
the relevant first-time adoption mandatory exceptions and voluntary exemptions. In
other words, the parent will adjust the carrying amount of the subsidiary’s assets and
liabilities to the amounts that Ind AS would require in the subsidiary’s balance sheet.
The deemed cost of goodwill equals the difference at the date of transition between:

(d) (i) Paragraph 36(a) of Ind AS 2, ‘Inventories’, specifically requires disclosure of ‘cost
formula used’ as a part of disclosure of accounting policies adopted in measurement
of inventories.
Accordingly, a change in cost formula is a change in accounting policy. The entity
should apply the change in the accounting policy retrospectively. For retrospective
application of a change in accounting policy, adjust the opening balance of each
affected component for the earliest prior period presented and the other
comparative amounts disclosed for each prior period presented as if the new
accounting policy had always been applied. Usually, the adjustment is made to
retained earnings.
Income tax effect due to change in accounting policy will be accounted for in
accordance with Ind AS 12.
(ii) Here, since the question talks about making of provision, it is assumed that
assurance warranty has been provided by the entity. Further, providing for 1%
against after sales expenses is an accounting policy decision. Now since, the
company has decided not to make provision for such expenses but to account for
the same as and when expenses are incurred, there is a change in accounting
policy decision.
The change in accounting policy is accounted for retrospectively. For retrospective
application of a change in accounting policy, adjust the opening balance of each
affected component for the earliest prior period presented and the other
comparative amounts disclosed for each prior period presented as if the new
accounting policy had always been applied. Usually, the adjustment is made to
retained earnings.
Income tax effect due to change in accounting policy will be accounted for in
accordance with Ind AS 12.
(iii) Determination of depreciation method involves an accounting estimate and thus
depreciation method is not a matter of an accounting policy. Accordingly, as per
Ind AS 16, a change in depreciation method should be accounted for as a change
in accounting estimate in accordance with Ind AS 8. Change in accounting estimate

is accounted for prospectively. However, the effect of the change is recognised as
income or expense of the year in which the change is made. The effect, if any, on

(iv) Accounting for investment made by the entity falls under the purview of Ind AS 109

m s e
a
‘Financial Instruments’. As per Ind AS 109, subsequent measurement of financial

s e g l
a
instruments is done on following basis:

l a
ag (b) Measured at Fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVTOCI)
(a) Measured at Amortised cost

(c) Measured at Fair value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)
In case the entity has subsequently measured its financial asset i.e. investment on
the basis of FVTOCI or FVTPL, then change in fair value would have been recorded
earlier in previous reporting period too. In such a case, there is no change in
accounting policy or accounting estimate. However, if the entity had not accounted

m
co
for previous changes in its books, then it is an error. If the material error occurred

.
before the earliest prior period presented, an entity shall, unless impracticable,

em
correct the same retrospectively in the first set of financial statements approved for

l a s
issue after their discovery by restating the opening balances of assets, liabilities

ag
and equity for the earliest prior period presented. Further, fair value change is to
be accounted for at every reporting date. Hence, restatement of the comparative
amounts for the prior period(s) presented in which the error occurred is also
required to be done.
Further, if an entity reclassifies any financial asset, it must do so prospectively from
reclassification date. The entity shall not restate any previously recognised gains,
losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest. Reclassification of
financial asset will be accounted for in accordance with the guidance given in
