flow of the business. They also reflect the efficiently of the management of the company in
handling the resources entrusted by the owners.
1. External users
Individuals or parties that are not directly involved in the operation of the
business.
Government agencies --- Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bangko
Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), and Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR); creditors;
suppliers; customers; and prospective investors.
2. Internal users
Individuals who have direct and active participation in various quantifiable
transactions of the business and in the preparation of the financial
statements. The employees and the management are considered internal
users.
The users of the financial statements need different and distinct information for various
reasons, as presented in Table below
3. Suppliers and Suppliers of raw materials and goods and other creditors need
other trade information that allows them to determine whether amounts owed
creditors to them can be paid when due. Trade creditors are interested in
a business over a shorter period than lenders, unless they are
dependent on the continuation of the business as a major
customer.
4. Lenders, Lenders, banks and other lending institution look for information
banks, and that enables them to determine whether their loans and interest
other financial earned can be paid when due. The information presented in the
institutions financial statements them increasing or decreasing the amount of
loans.
5. Management The management is interested in the information contained in the
financial statements to carry out its planning, decision – making,
and control responsibilities. The information provides basis in
evaluating management performance relative to resource
utilization.
6. Employees The employees and their representative groups like labor unions
and associations are interested information about the stability and
profitability of their employers. They also look information that helps
them assess the ability of the business to provide remuneration,

7. Customers The customers are interested in information about the continuance
of an entity, especially when they have a long – term involvement
with, or are dependent on it.
8. Public The business affects members of the public in a variety of ways.
For example, businesses may contribute substantially to the
different aspects of the local economy including the number of
people they employ and their patronage of local suppliers. Financial
statements assist the public by providing information about the
trends and recent developments of the business entity and the
range of its activities.
1. Fair Presentation
Salient features of fair presentation requirements
The faithful representation of the effects of transactions, other events,
and conditions in accordance with the definition and recognition
criteria for assets, liabilities, income, and expenses.
An application of the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards
(PFRSs), with additional disclosure when necessary, is presumed to
result in financial statements that achieve a fair presentation.
A business whose financial statements comply with PFRSs must take
an explicit and unreserved statement of such compliance in the notes.
Financial statements must not be described as complying with PFRSs
unless they comply with all the requirements of PFRSs.
4. Consistency of Presentation
Consistency requires that the presentation and classification of items in the
financial statements are retained from one period to the next. Thus,
presentation of items in the financial statements is consistently applied in all
reporting periods.
A business, however, is not precluded from changing the presentation and
classification of information of the financial statement applied subject to the
following conditions:
Another present or classification of the item is more appropriate since
it provides more relevant information to the users.
The Standard allows change in the presentation.
Comparability is not impaired.
6. Offsetting Principle
It requires that assets and liabilities, and income and expenses, are reported
separately. They shall not be offset unless required or permitted by a
Standard.
Offsetting does not refer to measuring bassets net of valuation allowances, as
in the process of deducting obsolescence allowance on inventories or
doubtful account on receivables.
For example, overpayment of a debtor should not be offset against the
receivable. The overpayment shall be presented as a liability while the
receivable shall be presented as an asset.
7. Comparability of Information
The basic objective of comparability is to assist users financial statements in
making an economic decision based on the assessment of trends of financial
information for predictive purposes.
Requirements in applying the concept of comparability of information
A comparison shall be included for narrative and descriptive
information when it is relevant to an understanding of the current
period’[s financial statements.
Comparative information shall be disclosed in relation to the previous
period for all amounts reported in the financial statements except
when a Standard permits or requires otherwise.
When the presentation or classification of items in the financial
statements is amended, comparative amounts shall be reclassified
unless the reclassification is impracticable.
When comparative amounts are reclassified, an entity shall disclose
the following:
a. The nature of the reclassification
b. The amount of each item or class of item is reclassified
c. The reason for reclassification
When it is impracticable to reclassify comparative amounts, an entity
shall disclose the following:
a. The reason for not reclassifying the amounts
b. The nature of the adjustments that would have been made if the
c. amounts had been reclassified
The statement of financial position (new title for balance sheet) is a structured
financial statement that shows the assets, liabilities, and equity of a business entity
as of a given date.
The term “as of a given date “ indicates that the statement of financial position can be
prepared anytime of the year and the information is considered true and correct as of
the date indicated in the statement.
Three accounting elements found in the statement of financial position which directly
related to the measurement of financial position.
1. Assets are resources controlled by the entity as a result of past event and from
which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.
2. Liabilities are present obligations of the entity arising from past events, the
settlement of which is expected to results in an outflow from the entity of resources
embodying economic benefits.
3. Equity is the residual interest in the asset of the entity after deducting all its liabilities.
The financial position of a business entity is usually expressed in the terms of its
liquidity, solvency, financial structure, and capacity for adaption.

from shareholders.
Reserves are a line – item in the equity section that includes the following:
1. Appropriate reserve
2. Share premium
3. Revaluation adjustment
4. Foreign currency translation reserve
Foreign currency translation reserve this arises from the translation of financial
elements or transactions in foreign currency into the functional of an entity. The
translation may give rise to translation gain or translation loss.
Cash equivalents are short – term, highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible into known amounts of cash near their maturity that they present
insignificant risk of changes in value or interest rates.
Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of long – term assets
and other investments not included in cash equivalents.
Financing activities are activities that result in changes in the size and
composition of the contributed equity and liabilities of the entity.
Information about the cash flows of an entity is useful in providing users of financial
statements with a basis to assess the ability of the entity to generate cash and cash
equivalents and the needs of the entity to utilize those cash flows.
