Wk 1: Week 1 Paper: US GAAP Versus IFRS
Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper that addresses the following scenario and questions:
Your aunt recently received the annual report for a company in which she has invested. The report notes that the statements have been prepared in accordance with “generally accepted accounting principles.” She has also heard that certain terms have special meanings in accounting relative to everyday use. She would like you to explain the meaning of terms she has come across related to accounting.
- Go to the FASB website and access the FASB Concepts Statements and use the IASB website to respond to the following items. (Provide paragraph citations.) When you have accessed the documents, you can use the search tool in your Internet browser.
- Explain how “materiality” is defined by both FASB and IASB.
- The concepts statements provide several examples in which specific quantitative materiality guidelines are provided to firms. Identity at least two of these examples. Do you think the materiality guidelines should be quantified? Why or why not?
- The concepts statements discuss the concept of “articulation” between financial statement elements. Briefly summarize the meaning of this term and how it relates to an entity’s financial statements.

FASB AND IASB DEFINITION OF ‘MATERIALITY’ Financial accounting involves the
reporting of financial performance of a business entity to outside users of the reported
financial information. This places huge significance on the information presented by these
financial statements. 2 FOR THIS REASON, ACCOUNTING IS A REGULATED
PRACTICE, WITH BOTH THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD
(FASB) AND THE INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (IASB)
IMPLEMENTING A SET OF PRINCIPLES, CONCEPTS, GUIDELINES AND
ASSUMPTIONS TO MAKE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AS UNIVERSAL AROUND

THE GLOBE AS IF POSSIBLY ATTAINABLE. 3 THE CONCEPT OF
INFORMATION MATERIALITY IS A KEY CONCEPT IN THE FINANCIAL
REPORTING FRAMEWORK SO ISSUED BY THE IASB AS PART OF THE
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS) TO BE USED
AROUND THE WORLD.
1 THE MATERIALITY CONCEPT DEMANDS THAT IN THE COURSE OF
PREPARING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR EXTERNAL REPORTING, THE
COMPANY MUST EMPHASIZE ON SUBSTANCE OVER FORM. THIS MEANS
THAT IN THE COURSE OF PREPARING FINANCIAL REPORTS, WHETHER OR
NOT THEY ARE AUDITED, THE COMPANY ACCOUNTANT MUST DISREGARD
ANY AND ALL TRIVIAL MATTERS AND PRESENT ONLY SUCH DETAILS THAT
WOULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON THE DECISION-MAKING ABILITY
OF THE EXTERNAL USERS FOR WHICH SUCH FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE
PREPARED. THE FASB DESCRIBES A MATERIAL ITEM AS ONE WHOSE
OMISSION OR RELATED ERROR WOULD NOT RESULT INTO A SIGNIFICANT
MISLEADING OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO COMPROMISE THE
DECISIONS MADE BY OUTSIDE USERS WHO RELY ON THE INFORMATION SO
PUBLISHED IN THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (MORIARITY & BARRON,
1979).
WHILE BOTH THE FASB AND THE IASB PLAY HUGELY IMPORTANT
OVERSIGHT ROLE IN BOTH FINANCIAL AND MANAGEMENT ACCOUNT, THEY
HAVE STOICALLY RESISTED ASSUMING THE ROLE OF A SUPERVISOR. TO
THIS END, THE LATEST UPDATE BY THE FASB TO ITS CONCEPT STATEMENT
DESISTED FROM DEFINING THE MATERIALITY PRINCIPLE, INSTEAD
OPTING FOR ISSUING GUIDELINES ON WHAT CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL
EFFECT ON THE COMPANY’S FINANCIAL RECORDS AND WHAT DOES NOT. IN
THE REFERENCED NEWS RELEASE, THE FASB (2015) SET OUT TO DECLARE
THAT IT WOULD NO LONGER IMPOSE UNTO ORGANIZATIONS A SET
DEFINITION OF THE MATERIALITY CONCEPT, AND THAT THE
AMENDMENTS SO INCLUDED IN THE MAJOR PRINCIPLE WOULD NOT
RESULT INTO ANY CHANGE TO THE ALREADY ESTABLISHED SPECIFIC
DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS HELD BY THE BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS.

In addition, the reputable organization would delete the present discussion on the issue and
replace it with the broad observation of materiality of accounting information as put forth by
the U.S. 1 SUPREME COURT’S DEFINITION (MARTIN & QUINN, 2002). THE
FASB INSTEAD PROMISED TO SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS BY ENSURING
MAXIMUM EXPOSURE TO ITS DRAFTS IS ATTAINED SO AS TO ALLOW
BUSINESS FIRMS THE SPACE TO EMPLOY INDIVIDUAL COMPANY
DISCRETIONARY MEASURES IN THE DETERMINATION OF WHAT TO REVEAL
IN THEIR DISCLOSURE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THIS WAS SO
AGREED TO ALLOW FOR A DIVERSE APPROACH WITHOUT COMPROMISING
THE QUALITY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN PUBLISHED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT THE END OF THE COMPANY’S FISCAL PERIOD.
HOW SPECIFIC QUANTITATIVE MATERIALITY GUIDELINES ARE PROVIDED
TO FIRMS.
With the FASB opting against the definition of materiality, it becomes a complicated
responsibility to seek to explain what constitutes a quantified application of the materiality
principle. 1 AS A RESULT, ANY EFFORTS TO DETERMINE THE
QUANTIFICATION OF MATERIALITY GUIDELINES MUST RELY HEAVILY ON
THE CONTINUOUS GUIDELINES ISSUED BY THE TWO MAJOR
INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING REGULATORY AUTHORITIES IN THE IASB
AND FASB, AS WELL AS OTHER EQUALLY REPUTABLE NATIONAL
AUTHORITIES RELATED TO THE ACCOUNTING PROFESSION.
TRADITIONALLY, ACCOUNTING INFORMATION COULD BE QUALITATIVE,
QUANTITATIVE AND PARTLY QUANTITATIVE. THE GUIDELINES FOR THE
QUANTITATIVE ELEMENTS OF MATERIALITY INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING;
THE MOST IMPORTANT GUIDELINE AS TO THE QUANTITATIVE NATURE OF
A COMPANY’S YEAR-END IS DETERMINED DURING THE ASSESSMENT OF
SAID FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AS THE STATEMENTS ARE PREPARED, THE
COMPANY ACCOUNTANT OR INDEPENDENT AUDITOR MUST BE KEEN TO
SPOT ANY SIGNIFICANT MISSTATEMENTS IN THE FIGURES AND OR
ASSUMPTIONS USED TO PREPARE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, OR IN THE
VERY LEAST, KEEP THE COMPANY ACCOUNTING RECORDS. THIS
SAFEGUARDS AGAINST SUCH ERRORS AS TRANSPOSITION AND OMISSION

AND COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VASTLY MISREPRESENTED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND AN OTHERWISE ERROR-FREE FINANCIAL
BOOKS (NELSON, SMITH, & PALMROSE, 2005). IT IS ALSO REQUIRED THAT
WHERE PROFESSIONAL INSIGHT HAS BEEN CALLED INTO USE FOR SUCH
ISSUES AS WHAT DOES OR DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A MATERIAL DEVIATION
FROM CUSTOM INDUSTRY APPLICATION OF ACCOUNTING RULES
REGARDING DISCLOSURES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. IN THIS CASE, THE
REASONING BEHIND SUCH AN ELECTION MUST ACCOMPANY THE RELATED
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
IN LINE WITH THE FASB DECLINING TO DEFINE THE MATERIALITY
CONCEPT AND HOW TO IMPLEMENT IT IN THE PREPARATION OF A
COMPANY’S YEAR-END FINANCIAL REPORTS, THE IASB REFRAIN FROM
PROVIDING TANGIBLE GUIDANCE ON HOW TO PERFORM MATHEMATICAL
CALCULATIONS OF QUANTIFIABLE MATERIALITY. GOING FURTHER BACK
HOWEVER, COMPANY ACCOUNTANTS MAY STILL APPLY THE GUIDELINES
SET FORTH BY THE PARAGRAPH A3 OF ISA 320, WHICH PROVIDES HIGHLY
SPECIFIC BENCHMARKS FOR USE IN THE CALCULATION OF THE
COMPANY’S QUANTIFIABLE MATERIALITY WITHIN ITS FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS. WHILE THIS OFFERS NO SET FORMULA, IT DOES MOVE THE
COMPANY CLOSER TO A PREDETERMINED WAY OF CALCULATING THE
MATERIALITY OF COMPANY FINANCIAL RECORDS THAN ANY OTHER
GUIDELINES PRESENTLY AVAILABLE TO COMPANIES (ABBASABADI &
SAADAT, 2014).
IN TRUTH, THE MATERIALITY STATUS OF ANY SET OF FINANCIAL RECORDS
IS A HUGELY ABSTRACT QUALITY. As a result, all the attempts at quantifying an
otherwise abstract quality are bound to be inconclusive at best. 1 THIS IS WHY THE
RECENT MOVES BY BOTH THE IASB AND THE FASB TO REFRAIN FROM
ISSUING A BOXED-IN DEFINITION AND CALCULATION METHOD FOR THE
MATERIALITY OF A GIVEN SET FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN BOTH
FUTURISTIC AS IT IS WHOLLY WARRANTED.

BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS PREPARE A NUMBER OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS, ALL OF WHICH ARE RELATED IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
SPECIFICALLY, THE PREPARATION OF ANY GIVEN FINANCIAL STATEMENT
REQUIRES THE USE OF DATA FROM ANOTHER, AND IN SOME CASES, EVEN
BORROW A FULL UNCHANGED ENTRY FROM ANOTHER STATEMENT. THIS
AMOUNTS TO THE ARTICULATION AMONG THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
IN ESSENCE, THE BALANCE SHEET ENJOYS A DIRECT RELATION TO THE
STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE CASH FLOWS, WHICH IS ALSO RELATED
TO THE INCOME STATEMENT. TOGETHER, THESE OFFER SUPPORT TO THE
ACCOUNTANT’S EFFORT AT PREPARING THE STATEMENT OF RETAINED
EARNINGS THAT WOULD BE USED TO DETERMINE JUST HOW MUCH
DIVIDENDS THE COMPANY IS TO DISTRIBUTE AMONG ITS SHAREHOLDERS
AT THE END OF THE FINANCIAL REPORTING PERIOD. All of these statements are
also related to the statement of changes to shareholders’ equity. 1 THIS
INTERRELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN AND AMONG THE SEPARATE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS OF THE COMPANY IS WHAT IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS
ARTICULATION BETWEEN THE VARIOUS ELEMENTS OF A COMPANY’S
PUBLISHED END OF YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
