Current liability
A debt that the company expects to pay within one
year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer.
Most companies pay current liabilities by using current

The Missing Control
Human Resource Controls. Thorough background checks should be
performed. No employees should begin work until they have been approved by
the Board of Education and entered into the payroll system. No employees
should be entered into the payroll system until they have been approved by a
supervisor. All paychecks should be distributed directly to employees at the
official school locations by designated employees.
Independent internal verification. Budgets should be reviewed monthly to
identify situations where actual costs significantly exceed budgeted amounts.
Total take: $150,000
ANATOMY OF A FRAUD
Art was a custodial supervisor for a large school district. The district was
supposed to employ between 35 and 40 regular custodians, as well as 3 or 4
substitute custodians to fill in when regular custodians were missing. Instead, in
addition to the regular custodians, Art “hired” 77 substitutes. In fact, almost
none of these people worked for the district. Instead, Art submitted time cards
for these people, collected their checks at the district office, and personally
distributed the checks to the “employees.” If a substitute’s check was for
$1,200, that person would cash the check, keep $200, and pay Art $1,000.

Determining the Market Value of Bonds
The features of a bond (callable, convertible, and so on) affect the
market rate of the bond.
Bond Basics
Market value is a function of the three factors that determine
present value:
1. amounts to be received,
2. length of time until the amounts are received, and
3. market rate of interest.
LO 4 Explain why bonds are issued, and identify the types of bonds.

issues (sells),
retires (buys back) bonds and

NOTE: If bondholders sell their bond investments to other investors,
the issuing firm receives no further money on the transaction, nor
does the issuing corporation journalize the transaction.

Issuing Bonds at a Discount
10-35
The issuance of bonds below face value—at a discount—causes the
total cost of borrowing to differ from the bond interest paid.
The reason: Borrower is required to pay the difference between the
issuance price and face value—the discount—at the maturity date.
Thus, the discount is considered to be an additional cost of
borrowing.

LO 5 Prepare the entries for the issuance of bonds and interest expense.
The sale of bonds above face value causes the total cost of borrowing
to be less than the bond interest paid.
The reason: The borrower is not required to pay the bond premium at
the maturity date of the bonds. Thus, the bond premium is considered
to be a reduction in the cost of borrowing.

When bonds are retired before maturity, it is necessary to:
1. eliminate carrying value of bonds at redemption date;
2. record cash paid; and
3. recognize gain or loss on redemption.
The carrying value of the bonds is the face value of the bonds
adjusted for the bond discount or bond premium amortized up to the
redemption date.

makes the following entry to record the redemption at the end
of the eighth interest period (January 1, 2018):

In addition to receiving the face value of a bond at maturity,
an investor also receives periodic interest payments
(annuities) over the life of the bonds.

2) number of interest periods, and
3) amount of the periodic receipts or payments.

Amortizing Bond Premium
10-76
Every employer incurs liabilities relating to employees’
salaries and wages.
Salaries and Wages Payable — amounts owed to
employees.
Withholding taxes (U.S. federal and state income
taxes, and Social Security taxes) — amounts owed to
the governmental taxing authorities.
Determining the payroll involves computing three amounts: (1)
gross earnings, (2) payroll deductions, and (3) net pay.
LO 12 Prepare entries for payroll and payroll taxes under U.S. law.

Key Points
The basic definition of a liability under GAAP and IFRS is very
similar. Liabilities may be legally enforceable via a contract or law
but need not be; that is, they can arise due to normal business
practice or customs.
Both GAAP and IFRS classify liabilities as current or non-current on
the face of the statement of financial position. IFRS specifically
states, however, that industries where a presentation based on
liquidity would be considered to provide more useful information
(such as financial institutions) can use that format instead.

Key Points
Under IFRS, companies sometimes show liabilities before assets.
Also, they will sometimes show non-current liabilities before current
liabilities. Neither of these presentations is used under GAAP.
Under IFRS, companies sometimes will net current liabilities against
current assets to show working capital on the face of the statement
of financial position. This practice is not used under GAAP.
The basic calculation for bond valuation is the same under GAAP
and IFRS. In addition, the accounting for bond liability transactions is
essentially the same between GAAP and IFRS.

Key Points
IFRS requires use of the effective-interest method for amortization of
bond discounts and premiums. GAAP allows use of the straight-line
method where the difference is not material.
GAAP often uses a separate discount or premium account to
account for bonds payable. IFRS records discounts or premiums as
direct increases or decreases to Bonds Payable.
The accounting for convertible bonds differs between IFRS and
GAAP. GAAP requires that the proceeds from the issuance of
convertible debt be shown solely as debt. Unlike GAAP, IFRS splits
the proceeds from the convertible bond between an equity
component and a debt component. The equity conversion rights are
reported in equity.

Key Points
IFRS reserves the use of the term contingent liability to refer only to
possible obligations that are not recognized in the financial
statements but may be disclosed if certain criteria are met. Under
GAAP, contingent liabilities are recorded in the financial statements
if they are both probable and can be reasonably estimated. If only
one of these criteria is met, then the item is disclosed in the notes.
IFRS uses the term provisions to refer to liabilities of uncertain
timing or amount. Examples of provisions would be provisions for
warranties, employee vacation pay, or anticipated losses. Under
GAAP, these are considered recordable contingent liabilities.

Looking to the Future
The FASB and IASB are currently involved in two projects, each of
which has implications for the accounting for liabilities. One project is
investigating approaches to differentiate between debt and equity
instruments. The other project, the elements phase of the conceptual
framework project, will evaluate the definitions of the fundamental
building blocks of accounting. The results of these projects could
change the classification of many debt and equity securities.
