Recognition as an
Expense
34. When inventories
are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories shall
be recognised as an expense in the period in which the related
revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of
inventories to net realisable value and all
losses of inventories shall be recognised as an
expense in the period the write-down or loss occurs.
The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories,
arising from an increase in net realisable value, shall be
recognised as a reduction in the amount of inventories
recognised as an expense in the period in which
the reversal occurs.
35. Some inventories
may be allocated to other asset accounts, for example,
inventory used as a component of self-constructed property,
plant or equipment. Inventories allocated to another asset in
this way are recognised as an expense during the useful life
of that asset.
Disclosure
36. The financial
statements shall disclose:
(a) the accounting
policies adopted in measuring inventories, including
the cost formula used;
(b) the total
carrying amount of inventories and the carrying amount
in classifications appropriate to the entity;
(c) the carrying
amount of inventories carried at fair value less
costs
to sell;
(d) the amount of
inventories recognised as an expense during the
period;
(e) the amount of
any write-down of inventories recognised as an expense
in the period in accordance with paragraph 34;
(f) the amount of
any reversal of any write-down that is recognised
as a reduction in the amount of inventories recognised
as expense in the period in accordance with paragraph
34;
(g) the
circumstances or events that led to the reversal of a
write-down
of inventories in accordance with paragraph 34; and
(h) the carrying
amount of inventories pledged as security for liabilities.
37. Information
about the carrying amounts held in different classifications
of inventories and the extent of the changes in these assets
is useful to financial statement users. Common classifications
of inventories are merchandise, production supplies, materials,
work in progress and finished goods. The inventories of a
service provider may be described as work in progress.
38. The amount of
inventories recognised as an expense during the period, which
is often referred to as cost of sales, consists of those costs
previously included in the measurement of inventory that has
now been sold and unallocated production overheads and
abnormal amounts of production costs of inventories. The
circumstances of the entity may also warrant the inclusion of
other amounts, such as distribution costs.
39. Some entities
adopt a format for profit or loss that results in amounts
being disclosed other than the cost of inventories recognised
as an expense during the period. Under this format, an entity
presents an analysis of expenses using a classification based
on the nature of expenses. In this case, the entity discloses
the costs recognised as an expense for raw materials and
consumables, labour costs and other costs together with the
amount of the net change in inventories for the period.

fact.
