• The entity should recognise the expected cost of profit-sharing and bonus payments when, and only when,
– it has a legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past events and
–a reliable estimate of the expected cost can be made. [IAS 19.17]

Defined Contribution Plans
Example• All the employees of Toi-Toi Ltd belong to the XYZ provident fund (a
defined contribution plan). During the year current contributions amounting to $210 000 were paid over to the fund. Apart from that, the company also decided to pay over additional contributions of $500 000 during the current year, in order to improve the future benefits of current and retired employees. Forty percent of this additional contribution relates to retired employees. The remaining average working life of the current employees is ten years. What will the defined contribution plan expense for the year amount to?

Defined Contribution Plans
Example
• $710 000, According to IAS 19.44, the total contribution payable to a defined contribution plan in exchange for services, should be recognised as an expense. No distinction is made between current and additional contributions, or between current and retired employees.

Curtailment
• Plan curtailments or settlements: Gains or losses resulting from curtailments or settlements of a plan are recognised when the curtailment or settlement occurs.
• Curtailments are:
– reductions in scope of employees covered or
– in benefits.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Curtailment/Settlement
• Closure Ltd decides to close down a plant on 31 December 20.1 and that each employee will receive a lump-sum payment of R25,000, as a final settlement of all obligations to the employees. Using the current actuarial assumptions immediately before the settlement, the following was established:– Present value of the obligation immediately:
• Before closure of the plant 920,000• After closure of the plant 828,000
– Fair value of plan assets immediately before closure was 800,000 and decrease in assets due to settlement is 50,000

Asset Ceiling (IAS 19.64):
If the calculation of the balance sheet amount as set out above results in an asset, the amount recognised should be limited to lower of :
– the surplus in the defined benefit plan, and
– the asset ceiling determined using the discount rate specified in paragraph 83
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Deferred Tax Implications
• Sec 11(1) of the RSA Income tax Act allows the employer to deduct his contribution when it is actually paid to the fund.
• For a defined benefit plan the employee benefits expense is an accounting expense.
• Deferred tax arise as there is always a difference between the contribution and the employee benefit expense.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Other Long-term Benefits
Recognition and measurement in the SoFP:• The amount recognised as a liability for other long-term employee
benefits is thus the net total of the following amounts:• The PV of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date,• minus the FV at the reporting date of plan assets (if any) out of
which the obligations are to be settled directly.

Termination Benefits par 166 - 167
For termination benefits, IAS 19 specifies that amounts payable should be recognised when, and only when, the entity is demonstrably committed to either: – terminate the employment of an employee or group of employees before the normal retirement date;
or – provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made in order to encourage voluntary redundancy.
Recognise termination benefits when an entity can demonstrate commitment to a termination, e.g. :entity has a detailed formal plan for the termination;
– the location, function, and approximate number of employees who will be compensated for terminating their services;
– the termination benefits for each job classification or function;– when the plan will be implemented; and
• is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.• Where termination benefits fall due after more than 12 months after the balance sheet date,
they should be discounted. [IAS 19.139 & IAS 37.72- Restructuring Provision]

IFRS 16 – LEASES
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Lecture ObjectiveThe following key concepts are fundamental to this study unit:
1. Identify a lease arrangement
2. The classification of lease arrangements.
3. Separating Lease Components
4. Determine a Lease term
5. Lease recognition and measurement (Lessee and Lessor)
6. Lease Modifications
7. Instalment sale agreements
8. Manufacturer Dealer Leases
9. Sale Lease back agreements
10. Tax implications
11. Presentation and Disclosure
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Intention
Leases transfer the right of use of an asset
• Legally - has Ownership transferred
• Substance – has Control transferred.
IFRS prescribes “substance over form” principle
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Objective of IFRS 16
IFRS 16 establishes principles for the:
i. recognition,
ii. measurement,
iii. presentation and
iv. disclosure
of leases. [IFRS 16:1]
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
What changed
IAS 17
❖Finance Lease – Capitalised
❖Operating Lease – Expensed
IFRS 16 - effective date is 1 January 2019.
❖Lessee – Operating & Finance Lease – Capitalised
❖Lessor – No change from IAS 17
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
IAS 17
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
What is changing?
• IFRS 16 supersedes:
– IAS 17 Leases;
– IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease;
– SIC-15 Operating Leases—Incentives; and
– SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
So WHY IFRS 16 ?
To eliminate off-balance sheet financing• Under IAS 17, lessees needed to classify the lease as either finance
or operating.• If the lease was classified as operating, then the lessees did not
show neither asset nor liability in their balance sheets – just the lease payments as an expense in profit or loss.
• But, some operating leases were non-cancellable, and therefore, they represented a liability (and an asset) for the lessees.
• This liability was hidden from the readers of the financial statements, as it was not presented anywhere.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
What changes in the Lessee’s SFP?
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
IFRS 16
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Scope
IFRS 16 does not apply to [IFRS 16:3]
➢leases to explore for or use minerals, oil, natural gas and similar non-regenerative resources;
➢leases of biological assets held by a lessee (see IAS 41 Agriculture);
➢service concession arrangements (see IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements);
➢licences of intellectual property granted by a lessor (see IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers); and
➢rights held by a lessee under licensing agreements for items such as films, videos, plays, manuscripts, patents and copyrights within the scope of IAS 38 Intangible Assets
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Identifying a Lease Contract
Previously – IFRIC 4
Now – IFRS 16
Considerations from IFRS 16
1. right to control use
2. Identifiable asset
3. for a period of time in exchange for consideration. [IFRS 16:9]
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Identifiable Asset
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Control
Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to:
i. direct the identified asset’s use and,
ii. obtain substantially all of the economic benefits[IFRS 16:B9]
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Substantive Rights to substitution
Where a supplier has a substantive right of substitution throughout the period of use,a customer does not have a right to use an identified asset. [IFRS 16:B13-14]
A supplier’s right of substitution is only considered substantive if the supplier has boththe practical ability to substitute alternative assets throughout the period of use and
they would economically benefit from substitution.
NB**- Substitution of assets by the lease during time of maintenance or breakdowns
does not prevent a lessee from controlling right of use of asset. (par B30)

2. Lease Contract
3. Service Contract
4. Combined Contracts
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Combined Contracts
A contract may combine more than one obligation to the lessee. These may be a combination of lease and none lease components. In such a case, each separate component must be identified and accounted for separately either as a lease or non-lease contract.
A lessee may elect not to separate non-lease components from lease components and instead account for all components as a lease. [IFRS 16:13-15]
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Separating components of a Lease Contract (par 12)
A component is classified as a lease component if it satisfy the following:
i. The lessee can benefit from use of the underlying asset either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available for the lessee.
ii. The underlying asset is neither highly dependent on, nor highly interrelated with underlying assets in the contract.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Separating components of a Lease Contract (par 13-14)
• Separate the components using their stand alone prices.
• A stand alone price is that price that the supplier would charge another client if they were to offer the component separately.

Lease Term
The lease period is:
i. the non-cancellable period of the lease plus
ii. period covered by an option to extend or an option to terminate if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the extension option or not exercise the termination option.

Recognition
Initial recognition: Upon lease commencement a lessee recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. [IFRS 16:22]
Dr Right-of-use asset (SFP)
Cr Lease liability (SFP)
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
IFRS 16 - Exceptions
• Lease of assets for less than 12 months (short-term leases), and
• Lease of assets of a low value (such as computers, furniture etc.).
NB**- Operating lease accounting is applied to these.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Initial measurement: Right of use Asset
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at the amount of the lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.Adjustments may also be required for lease incentives, payments at or prior to commencement and restoration obligations or similar. [IFRS 16:24]
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Initial measurement: Lease Liability
Measured at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease if that can be readily determined.
If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee shall use their incremental borrowing rate. [IFRS 16:26]
Variable lease payments are included in the initial measurement of the lease liability using the index or rate as at the commencement date. Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees are also included. [IFRS 16:27(b),(c)] Apply IE 14

• the lease term (using a revised discount rate);
• the assessment of a purchase option (using a revised discount rate);
• the amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees (using an unchanged discount rate); or
• future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments (using an unchanged discount rate).

Classification
Lessors shall classify each lease as an operating lease or a finance lease
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Finance Lease
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset.
Otherwise a lease is classified as an operating lease.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Indicators of a Finance Lease [IFRS 16:63]• the lease transfers ownership of the asset to the lessee by the end of the
lease term;• the lessee has the option to purchase the asset at a price which is expected to
be sufficiently lower than fair value at the date the option becomesexercisable that, at the inception of the lease, it is reasonably certain that theoption will be exercised;• the lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the asset, even if
title is not transferred at the inception of the lease’• the present value of the minimum lease payments amounts to at least
substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset; and• the leased assets are of a specialised nature such that only the lessee can use
them without major modifications being made.

Sale and Leaseback Transactions (par 99)
An entity shall apply the requirements for determining when a performance obligation is satisfied in IFRS 15 [Refer: IFRS 15 paragraphs 31–34, 38 and B64–B76] to determine whether the transfer of an asset is accounted for as a sale of that asset.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
If transfer satisfies the requirements of IFRS 15
(a) the seller-lessee shall measure the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee. Accordingly, the seller-lessee shall recognise only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor.
(b) the buyer-lessor shall account for the purchase of the asset applying applicable Standards, and for the lease applying the lessor accounting requirements in IFRS 16.

Provisions
• When is a provision recognized?
IAS37.14: A provision shall be recognised when:
(a) an entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
(b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and
(c) (c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
NB: If these conditions are not met, no provision shall be recognised.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Definitions
• A legal obligation is an obligation that derives from: (a) a contract (through its explicit or implicit terms); (e.g. warranty cost
or breach of contract costs)(b) legislation; or (e.g. environmental law requirements)(c) other operation of law. (court or arbitration ruling)A constructive obligation is an obligation that derives from an entity’s actions
where: (a) by an established pattern of past practice, published policies or a sufficiently
specific current statement, the entity has indicated to other parties that it will accept certain responsibilities; and (13th cheque or bonus payment)
(b) as a result, the entity has created a valid expectation on the part of those other parties that it will discharge those responsibilities.

In the extremely rare case where no reliable estimate can be made, a liability exists that cannot be recognised. That liability is disclosed as a contingent liability
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Measurement
• Best estimate-
– The amount recognised as a provision shall be the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
• Best estimate is:
– Based on management’s judgement
– Supported by experience of similar transactions
– Take time value of money into account
– Takes uncertainty & expected value:
• for large population – weighted probability of all possible outcomes (see next slide)
• Single item- recognise in full

Measurement
Example: (refer to the TV Sales & Home example)

Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Goods sold Defects Expected cost of repairs
75% None Nil
20% Minor $1 million
5% Major $4 million

Answer:
Best estimate is equal to expected value
(75% x $nil) + (20% x 1 million) + (5% x 4 million)
$ 400,000
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Provisions
• Present Value:– Where time value of money is material, use present value at the best estimate.
– The discount rate (or rates) shall be a pre-tax rate (or rates) that reflect(s) current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
– The discount rate(s) shall not reflect risks for which future cash flow estimates have been adjusted.
• Future events
• 48 Future events that may affect the amount required to settle an obligation shall be reflected in the amount of a provision where there is sufficient objective evidence that they will occur.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Reimbursements (IAS 37.53-58)
• Where some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be reimbursed by another party, the reimbursement shall be recognised when,
– and only when, it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received if the entity settles the obligation.
• Recognition- treat as a separate asset.
• Measurement- reimbursement shall not exceed the amount of the provision.
• In the P/L, the expense relating to a provision may be presented net of the amount recognised for a reimbursement. (set-off reimbursement against the expense of the provision and show only net amount) – para 54
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Use of provisions (IAS 37.61-62)
• A provision should be used only for the purpose for which it was originally raised and any unused amount is therefore reversed to profit or loss. Settling expenditures against a provision that was originally raised for another purpose would conceal the impact of two different events.
• E.G. A provision raised for a court case at reporting date shall be reversed to P/L if the court case do not result in any obligation:
Dr Provision for court case (SoFP)Cr Reversal of provision of court case (P/L)
NB: This be regarded as a change in accounting estimate, hence, reverse to current year profits even if the provision was raised in prior period.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Application of the recognition & measurement rules:
1. Future operating losses (IAS 37.63-65)
2. Onerous Contracts (IAS 37.66-69)
3. Restructuring (IAS 37.70-83)
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Future operating losses
• 63 Provisions shall NOT be recognised for future operating losses.
– Does NOT meet definition of a provision
– Rather indicate impairment of assets – test for impairment under IAS 36.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Onerous contracts
• Definition: An onerous contract is a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.
• 66 If an entity has a contract that is onerous, the present obligation under the contract shall be recognised and measured as a provision.
• Measurement- at the least net cost of exiting from the contract, which is the lower of:– the cost of fulfilling it and
– any compensation or penalties arising from failure to fulfil it
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Restructurings
• Examples of events that may fall under the definition of restructuring:
• (a) sale or termination of a line of business;
• (b) the closure of business locations in a country or region or the relocation of business activities from one country or region to another;
• (c) changes in management structure, for example, eliminating a layer of management; and
• (d) fundamental reorganisations that have a material effect on the nature and focus of the entity’s operations.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Restructurings
Recognition Criteria for Restructuring provision
• Recognise a provision from a constructive obligation to restructure which arises only when an entity:
(a) has a detailed formal plan for the restructuring identifying at least:
(i) the business or part of a business concerned;
(ii) the principal locations affected;
(iii) the location, function, and approximate number of employees who will be compensated for terminating their services;
(iv) the expenditures that will be undertaken; and
(v) when the plan will be implemented; and
• has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement that plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Restructurings
Measurement of a Restructurings Provision:
• Measurement- Cost to be included:
• A restructuring provision shall include only the direct expenditures arising from the restructuring, which are those that are both:
(a) necessarily entailed by the restructuring; and
(b) not associated with the ongoing activities of the entity.
• A restructuring provision does not include such costs as:
(a) retraining or relocating continuing staff;
(b) marketing; or
(c) investment in new systems and distribution networks.

EX 1- Restructurings
No implementation before reporting date
• On 15 December 2011 the board of PARS Ltd decided to close down its restaurant division. Before reporting date (31 December 2011), the decision was not communicated to any of those affected and no other steps were taken to implement the decision.
Answer• Conclusion
• There has been no obligating event, no obligation has arisen and accordingly no provision is recognised. If the plan is implemented after year-end and is regarded as material, it should be disclosed as a non-adjusting event after the reporting period.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Ex 2- Restructurings
Communication or implementation before reporting date
• On 15 December 2011 the board of Yada Ltd decided to close down its bakery division. On 22 December 2011 a detailed plan for closing down the division was agreed upon by the board; letters were sent to customers warning them to seek an alternative source of supply, and redundancy notices were sent to the staff of the division.
Answer• Conclusion
• The obligating event is the communication of the decision to the customers and employees, which gives rise to a constructive obligation that the division will be closed. An outflow of resources embodying economic benefits in settlement is probable. Aprovision is recognised at 31 December 2011 for the best estimate of the costs of closing the division.

Provision for Dismantling costs
According to IAS16.16(c), the estimated cost (PV of future dismantling cost) of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site should be added to the cost of the asset at initial recognition (see IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets).
However, the entity must have a present legal obligation or constructive obligation to dismantle and remove the item in order to include such costs in the cost of PPE.
Apply the recognition creteria of a provision in IAS 37 – at initial recognition of dismantling costs on PPE.

Contingent liabilities
An entity shall not recognise a contingent liability.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Definitions
• A contingent liability is: (a) a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose
existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity; or
(b) a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because: (i) it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or(ii) the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Disclosure – Contingent Liability
• Unless the possibility of any outflow in settlement is remote, an entity shall disclose for each class of contingent liability at the end of the reporting period a brief description of the nature of the contingent liability and, where practicable:
(a) an estimate of its financial effect, measured under paragraphs 36–52;
(b) an indication of the uncertainties relating to the amount or timing of any outflow; and
(c) the possibility of any reimbursement.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Contingent Assets
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity.
31 An entity shall not recognise a contingent asset.

Tax Implications
• Three possible alternatives exist regarding the tax deductibility of expenses resulting from provisions:
– The expense may be deductible for tax purposes when the provision is raised.
– The expense may be deductible for tax purposes when the amount is settled in future.
– The expense may not be deductible for tax purposes at any stage.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Tax Implications
• This gives rise to the following three different scenarios when dealing with deferred tax:– If the expense is deductible for tax purposes when the provision is raised, then the tax base of
the provision will be the same as its carrying amount (tax base = carrying amount less zero, as zero will be deductible for tax purposes in the future), with the result that there is no temporary difference and also no deferred tax consequences. CA= TB
– If the expense is deductible for tax purposes in the future when the amount is settled, then the tax base of the provision will be zero (tax base = carrying amount less amount equal to carrying amount that will be deductible in future), with the result that a deductible temporary difference arises in respect of which a deferred tax asset is raised. CA=X TB=0
– If the expense is not deductible for tax purposes at any stage, then the tax base of the provision will be the same as its carrying amount (tax base = carrying amount less zero, as zero will be deductible for tax purposes in the future), with the result that there is no temporary difference and also no deferred tax consequences.

Types Of Get Grants
• Grants related to assets are government grants:
– whose primary condition is that an entity qualifying for them:
• should purchase, construct or
• otherwise acquire long-term assets.
– Subsidiary conditions may also be attached restricting the type or location of the assets or the periods during which they are to be acquired or held.

Non-monetary grants
• Non-monetary grants, such as free land or other freeresources, etc. provided by the government, are usually accounted for at fair value, although recording both the asset and the grant at a nominal amount is also permitted. [IAS 20.23]

Accounting for Grants
• A government grant is recognised only when there is reasonable assurance that:

What is an event after reporting period?
Definition of Events after reporting date: [IAS10.3]
Events after the reporting period are those events, favourable and unfavourable, that occur between the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Two types of events can be identified:
(a) those that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period (adjusting events after the reporting period); and
(b) those that are indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting period (non-adjusting events after the reporting period).

Dividends
12 If dividend declared after the reporting period:
– the entity shall NOT recognise those dividends as a liability at the end of the reporting period.
13 If dividends are declared after the reporting period but before the financial statements are authorised for issue:
– the dividends are NOT recognised as a liability at the end of the reporting period because no obligation exists at that time.
– Such dividends are disclosed in the notes in accordance with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements.
Webster Sigauke - Chartered Accountants Academy
Going concern
14 An entity shall not prepare its financial statements on a going concern basis if management determines after the reporting period either that it intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading, or that it has no realistic alternative but to do so.
15 Deterioration in operating results and financial position after the reporting period may indicate a need to consider whether the going concern assumption is still appropriate. If the going concern assumption is no longer appropriate, the effect is so pervasive that this Standard requires a fundamental change in the basis of accounting, rather than an adjustment to the amounts recognised within the original basis of accounting.
16 IAS 1 specifies required disclosures if: (a) the financial statements are not prepared on a going concern basis; or(b) management is aware of material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The events or conditions requiring disclosure may arise after the reporting period.
