"The AASB 101: Financial Statement Presentation approach of
separating other comprehensive income items into two (2) separate
categories of reclassification adjustments is necessary so relevant
information is presented in financial statements".
Required:
Explain to what extent you agree with this statement. As a supporting
example, include one (1) other comprehensive income item.
One suggested way of answering this question is:
State clearly how much you do or not agree with the
statement, "To a large extent.......To some extent........."
Outline the AASB 101 guidance for the two other
comprehensive income item reclassification adjustment
categories, namely "will be reclassified to profit or loss" and
"will not be classified to profit or loss."
Explain your position about the statement.
Develop a relevant supporting example and state how it
supports your position on the statement. For example,
revaluation gains and losses on debt instruments measured
at FV through OCI. AASB 9 requires these amounts to be
transferred to P&L when the debt instrument is
derecognised. Accordingly, throughout the period of
ownership, all revaluation increments and decrements are
included in the "will be reclassified to profit or loss"
reclassification adjustment category in other comprehensive
income. It is important to do this to avoid double counting
and highlight to financial statement users that these amounts
that will ultimately go into the measurement of profit or loss
in a later accounting period.
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION RELATES TO QUESTIONS 2 TO 3
Cameron is a professional accountant and financial controller for a
successful listed manufacturing company, Ball Ltd. As part of this role
Cameron is responsible for signing off Ball Ltd’s 30 June financial
statements each year. Recently Cameron was copied into an email
from Sam, the Finance Director to Alex, the chief production engineer,
which stated “due to a proposed industry change, Ball Ltd’s major
manufacturing plant will close down on 31 July 2020 and the plant’s
staff will be made redundant at that time”.
Later that day at a lunch time soccer match, Sam had the following
conversation with Cameron. “Hey Cameron, the shareholders are
currently in negotiations to sell their interest in Ball Ltd. It is probably
best to ignore any email about what is happening in industry and the
effect this could have on the financial statements. Just think if the
proposed company sale goes ahead, you’ll get that promotion and a
well-deserved bonus”.

Your Answer:
Unanswered
Required:
Identify and explain the ethical dilemma Cameron faces.
An ethical dilemma occurs when there is a conflict. A choice has
to be made between different alternatives.
In this situation, the conflict is whether Cameron should not
follow Sam’s request and recognise this event in the Ball Ltd’s
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 or
whether Cameron should follow Sam’s request to ignore the
event.
Not yet marked / 0 ptsQuestion 3
Your Answer:
Unanswered
Required:
Explain whether the confidentiality ethical principle under APES 110:
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants would be at risk if
Cameron follows the course of action suggested by Sam.
From the information in this scenario, the confidentiality ethical
principle would not be at risk. The confidentiality principle
focuses on maintaining business relationships and not
disclosing information to third parties without proper and specific
authority, unless there is a legal duty to disclose.
Although there is mention of a proposed shareholder sale of the
company’s shares, the key ethical issue is about how the
intended manufacturing plant closure should or should not affect
Ball Ltd’s financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.
Sam’s conversation at the lunchtime soccer match and the
reminder to Cameron about the promotion puts at risk
Cameron’s integrity and objectivity. When identifying ethical
principles at risk, they need to relate to the specific ethical
dilemma.
