Valuation of tangible fixed assets pursuant to the Czech accounting law and international accounting standards

Abstract

The valuation of assets is a relatively challenging activity as well as a scientific discipline having an impact on the amount of the reported assets and economic result process. The report deals with the issue of valuation of the tangible fixed assets in the accounting entities compiling the financial statements pursuant to the Czech national legislation and in conformity with the requirements of the International Accounting Standards IAS/IFRS and US GAAP. The substantial differences in the definitions and valuation of the tangible fixed assets in these systems have been determined, indicating the impact on the economy of the accounting entity, both at the primary acquisition and as at the day of the closing of books. Attention has also been paid to the possibilities of recording the value decreases and to subsequent expenses. The analysis of legal regulations was completed with the analysis of the financial statements from selected economic entities. As per the international standards, the main difference consists in the possibility of component depreciation of tangible assets or, on the other hand, the possibility of group depreciation, in the differences in valuation in the event of acquisition paid for and of acquisition by one’s own production and in the possibility to consider the costs of disposal of assets. The subsequent expenses are also construed in a different manner: as per the Czech regulation, they are construed as repairs and maintenance. The substantial difference in comparison with the Czech regulation consists in the possibility of re-valuation of assets upwards as well as the method of actual value determination.

Models of the realistic reporting of subsidies in the farm accounting

“…The analysis of the yield model of the operating subsidy accounting shows that the way of reporting a subsidy as a yield does not provide a true view of the reality, so it is not in compliance with the basic principle of accounting (Epstein and Mirza 2004;Svoboda 2007). Subsidies granted from external sources are not yields from the company's economic activities and they misrepresent the real production force of the company from revenues measured by the profit before interests and taxes.…”

Specifics of IFRS Adoption by Central and Eastern European Countries: Evidence from Research

“…Three articles have a Romanian origin (N. Albu and Albu, 2012;Istrate et al, 2015).

Ilgalaikio Materialiojo Turto Apskaitos Politika Ir Jos Įtaka Žemės Ūkio Verslo Subjektų Finansiniams Rodikliams

“…Minimalios vertės kriterijaus išskyrimas siejamas su apskaitos optimalumo principu, siekiant, kad ilgą laiką naudojami mažaverčiai daiktai nepagrįstai nepadidintų apskaitos tvarkymo sąnaudų. Svoboda (2007) daro išvadą, kad IMT panašiai suvokiamas tiek tarptautiniuose, tiek ir šalių nacionaliniuose apskaitos reglamentuose bei pažymi, kad kiekvienas ūkio subjektas šį turtą identifikuoja pagal reikšmingumo ir tikro bei teisingo vaizdo pateikimo finansinėse ataskaitose principus.…”
