1Under the IASB Conceptual Framework, which two qualitative characteristics are described as the fundamental qualitative characteristics of useful financial information?
A.Relevance and faithful representation
B.Comparability and verifiability
C.Timeliness and understandability
D.Prudence and going concern
Explanation: The IASB Conceptual Framework identifies relevance and faithful representation as the two fundamental qualitative characteristics; without them, information is not decision-useful. Comparability, verifiability, timeliness and understandability are the four enhancing qualitative characteristics.
2According to the IASB Conceptual Framework, how is an asset defined?
A.A future inflow of cash the entity expects to receive
B.A present economic resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events
C.Any item of property legally owned by the entity
D.A resource the entity intends to use to generate revenue next year
Explanation: The 2018 Conceptual Framework defines an asset as a present economic resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events, where an economic resource is a right with the potential to produce economic benefits. Control and a past event are essential; legal ownership and future intentions are not.
3Under IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, which of the following is a complete set of financial statements?
A.Statement of financial position, income statement, and a directors' report
B.Trial balance, profit and loss account, and balance sheet
C.Statement of financial position, statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows, and notes
D.Statement of cash flows, notes, and an auditor's report
Explanation: IAS 1 requires a complete set comprising a statement of financial position, a statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, a statement of changes in equity, a statement of cash flows, and notes (including accounting policies). The directors' report and auditor's report are not part of the IAS 1 financial statements.
4Which body issues International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS Accounting Standards) used as the framework for AAT DAIF financial statements?
A.The Financial Reporting Council (FRC)
B.The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
C.Companies House
D.The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
Explanation: The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), overseen by the IFRS Foundation, develops and issues IFRS Accounting Standards. The FRC sets UK GAAP, the FCA regulates financial services, and Companies House maintains the company register.
5Under IAS 2 Inventories, at what amount should inventory normally be measured?
A.The lower of cost and net realisable value
B.Cost less accumulated depreciation
C.Selling price less a standard profit margin
D.Replacement cost at the reporting date
Explanation: IAS 2 requires inventories to be measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV). NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the costs necessary to make the sale.
6A company recognises revenue under IFRS 15. What is the first step of the five-step revenue recognition model?
A.Determine the transaction price
B.Identify the contract with the customer
C.Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations
D.Recognise revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied
Explanation: IFRS 15's five-step model begins by identifying the contract with the customer. The remaining steps are: identify the performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the price to the obligations, and recognise revenue as each obligation is satisfied.
7Under IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, which cost should be capitalised as part of the cost of a new machine?
A.Staff training costs to use the new machine
B.General administrative overheads of the purchasing department
C.Costs of installation and testing to bring the asset to working condition
D.Costs of relocating the machine after it has been operating for two years
Explanation: IAS 16 requires capitalisation of directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to operate as intended, including installation and testing. Training, general overheads, and later relocation costs are expensed.
8Under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, when should a provision be recognised?
A.Whenever the directors expect a future cost to arise
B.Only when the obligation is certain and legally enforceable
C.When an outflow is merely possible but not probable
D.When there is a present obligation from a past event, an outflow is probable, and the amount can be reliably estimated
Explanation: IAS 37 requires recognition of a provision only when all three criteria are met: a present obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, a probable outflow of economic benefits, and a reliable estimate of the amount. If the outflow is only possible, it is a contingent liability and is disclosed, not recognised.
9Under IAS 10 Events after the Reporting Period, the declaration of a dividend after the reporting date but before the financial statements are authorised for issue is:
A.A non-adjusting event, disclosed in the notes but not recognised as a liability
B.An adjusting event, recognised as a liability at the reporting date
C.Ignored entirely as it relates to the next period
D.Recognised as a reduction of revenue
Explanation: Under IAS 10, dividends declared after the reporting period do not create a present obligation at the reporting date, so they are non-adjusting events. They are disclosed in the notes but not recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position.
10Under IAS 8, a change in an accounting estimate (for example, revising the useful life of a non-current asset) is accounted for:
A.Retrospectively, by restating all prior periods
B.Prospectively, in the current and future periods
C.By a prior-period adjustment to opening retained earnings only
D.As a correction of a material error
Explanation: IAS 8 requires changes in accounting estimates to be recognised prospectively, affecting the current period and, if relevant, future periods. Retrospective restatement is reserved for changes in accounting policy and for the correction of prior-period errors.
