The reasons that lead a company to appoint at baseline an asset as available for sale are truly novel. Thus, the concepts of “asymmetry” and “relevant information” are not very familiar in our environment and, therefore, we must go by the time the International Accounting Standard 39 for realizing the same:
* First, define the ‘accounting mismatch’ as’ that would otherwise occur when using different criteria for valuing assets and liabilities, or recognizing gains and losses on different bases thereof. “Serve as examples that may result from fair value hedge of an equity instrument of an associate. In this case the asymmetry would arise following changes in the value of the derivative are reflected in losses and gains, while the share is valued at cost. Therefore, we only account for variations of the game coverage, not the cover. This does not reflect the financial realities of coverage that is being performed. And this asymmetry could be solved by incorporating the cover participation in this portfolio.
Another example would be temporary repurchase assets not optional. The accounting mismatch may also occur in the case of assets classified as available for sale that were linked to persons whose variations do not lead to equity. However, the PGC 07 includes a series of specific rules (such as accounting hedges) to undo all these asymmetries. Therefore, the most obvious cases of accounting mismatch will be those where there is a relationship between an asset and a liability to compensate in terms of risk, but due to disparate accounting qualification, this compensation does not materialize in accounting.
In everyday situations there may be other companies that are not specifically provided for in the ninth standard and for which, using definitions as the above can be useful. In addition, there may be financial hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting to be treated and therefore apply the rule ninth in this regard. But the existence of this portfolio can be useful to overcome this problem.
* The goal of providing relevant information would fall within the company’s accounting policy and should therefore be formally defined.
The basic financial statements include: Statement or Profit and Loss Statement are cumulative monthly until the end of the year, Statement of Changes in Heritage; Cash Flow Statement, and Notes to the Financial Statements, which relate to year-end.
Whatever the elements and divisions of the first two states is important to note the presentation rules and valuation to be considered when developing, which are covered in the series C of accounting principles, which include a newsletter for each field.
Some rules are:
1. – When the balance of the creditor is another bank account upon submission of the reclassified balance that must balance against the person who originated it.
2 .- If you have a receivable and a payable in the name of one person must be subtracted from the balance and showing only the amount corresponding to the account balance has increased, obviously due to the difference.
3. – The share of social capital which has not yet been shown is represented by a balance in the account, shareholders, which should not appear as an asset account, but must appear in stockholders’ equity minus the balance of social capital.
4. – The balance of inventories should be reflected in the assets after the accounts receivable.
5 .- In the case of a person who has a long maturity, but which has set up a monthly payment plan to liquidate that portion of the debt that will be awarded for a term not exceeding one year should be considered within the current liabilities.
The structure of the Trial Balance contains assets (holding company), liabilities (obligations to third parties), and capital (participation of the owners or shareholders). You can determine the state of liquidity (cash available in the near future after deducting financial commitments for the period), solvency (availability of long-term cash to meet obligations when due), and profitability of assets and capital.
The financial statements provide information on the financial position, changes and the operation of the company. On the other hand, the income statement presents information on the development of the company, and measure the operation of the same through the generation of profits or income. The main elements for such measurement is revenue and costs or expenses, through which it determines the company’s ability to generate cash flows and measure the effectiveness with which you can use. Similarly we can evaluate the administration, their responsibility and have evidence for making decisions, whether to keep or sell their investment and confirm or replace management.
The Statement of Changes in Equity, for its part, shows the movements that have occurred during a period, in the balance sheet as capital or contributions from the owners or shareholders, and also shows recorded in retained earnings outstanding capital stock or distribute and reflects the distribution of dividends available to shareholders is no profit sharing in order to strengthen their business. In Cash Flow provides information on the ability to generate cash flow from operations, investing activities and financing, and through these we can analyze a company’s ability to pay its commitments. salaries, supplier’s creditors and dividends to its owners. It also is a tool for determining funding needs.
Notes to Financial Statements on the other hand, are further information on general information about the company, the accounting policies adopted, clarification of the risks, uncertainties and changes in prices affecting the company and other resources and obligations not recognized in the Balance Sheet, also contains references to financial data of the country.
An organization with a product or business model that lets you get recurring revenue inertial runs the risk of the tyranny of cash flow. This tyranny prevents the organization see the strategic need to make changes, difficult decisions or to develop innovative process timing.
Live so many organizations from different sectors, some rooted in strategies based on the protection of cannibalization, historically the record industry, newspapers and publishers now. And other protected on the walls of their business model (model repeatability inert managers). Both, one day, the cannibals are knocking on your door.
It happens that these companies have a dairy cow, which is a name which the boys in the BCG (Boston Consulting Group) used in their strategic matrix to identify products with high profitability and low growth rate, consolidated as a source of recurring revenue (strategic orientation cash flows).
To balance the strategy, the liquidity provided by the “cash cow” should be used to finance innovative processes (more depth to put a bell on the cow), but actually serves to build a wall and lock the cow inside (what Jeff Jarvis in his book “And as you would Google?” lock called the dairy cow at the mine).
Gold jail is a former friend for companies in leadership positions, is the wall that prevents them from having a strategic vision beyond the mere fulfillment of targets (remember the old tell me how you measure me and tell you how I behave), which subjugates managers to the power of the bonus (bonus for achieving results, of course, more short-term vision).
What happened? Those changes had to occur much earlier, but its own executives were blinded by the influx of money that prevented them from seeing a model unsustainable. It is the dairy cow in the coal mine or the tyranny of cash flow.
