The value of the appraisal
as part of the method of accounting
To measure each object and summarize the information
about heterogeneous objects, with the aim of comparability applies to this
element of the method of accounting as the score. Evaluation is always present
in the accounting system, since the inception of the economic entity and
throughout its business activities.
Specific ways of assessing individual sites are
regulated in the Russian Federation various accounting Regulations, and General
rules of evaluation are reflected in the Federal law "On accounting".
The basis for these rules is the principle of valuation in monetary terms of
the amount of actual costs incurred.
Qualitative characteristics of accounting information
are subject to such properties as the assessment of usefulness, reliability and
comparability. The combination of these properties allows the estimation to
approximate the calculated value to the actual value of the object. The absence
of any properties or the predominance of one of them will lead to the
distortion of accounting information.
The relevance of studying the influence assessment of
the assets and liabilities on the reliability of the accounting (financial)
statements are related because the estimation process strongly depends on the
subjective opinion of the appraiser, the choice of one or another assessment
tool. Therefore internal and external users of accounting information, having
no access to data on the assessment mechanisms, nor the special knowledge
necessary for forming judgments about the fairness of this method, the need for
qualified opinion as to the impact of the valuation of assets and liabilities
on the accuracy of the statements as a whole.
Evaluation as one of the elements of the accounting
method must meet two basic requirements: assessment of all accounting objects
must be real and single.
Under the reality of objective assessment refers to
compliance monetary value of objects of the account – a necessary condition for
the creation of all system of accounting. The reality of evaluation requires
precise calculation (calculation) of the actual cost of all accounting objects.
Under the unity of the rating refers to its uniformity
and permanence. The same accounting objects are weighted equally in the
organizations during the entire period of their stay on one stage of the
circuit. Such uniformity of assessment is achieved by establishing mandatory
regulations, instructions, accounting rules and calculation.
Different ways of measuring and, therefore, different
schemes of accounting that can be applied under certain conditions or
circumstances, and to have an impact on the financial position of the economic
entity, the structure of its balance sheet, financial results of activity. The
possibility of applying different methods of estimation of objects of accounting
monitoring allows the selection of an optimal variant, aimed at achieving
specific goals. The chosen method of assessment will be fixed in the accounting
policy of the organization.
The laws of market economy as the basic goal of modern
accounting system put the identification of the final financial result (profit
or loss) of the activities of a specific organization.
An assessment of the financial result can be produced
only through the evaluation of accounting objects of his formative. Under
current law, the financial result is determined as the difference between
revenues and expenses of the organization, therefore, the most important moment
in the organization of accounting of financial results is the rule for
determining the value of income and expenses.
Their assessment is the most significant aspect in the
assessment of the financial result is the main performance indicator economic
activity of the organization.
Inaccurate determination of the income and expenses of
the organization leads to distortion of indicators of their value and the
incorrect calculation of financial results of operations as a whole. Thus, the
rule for determining the value of income and expenses is essentially a rule of
the final financial result.
Revenues are recorded documents and receipt of assets,
while the amount of expenses determined by the administration of the economic
entity on the basis of the adopted accounting policy, choosing the rules of
inventory valuation and writing off their costs of production using different
variants of depreciation and creation of provisions. Thus, profits are the
objective, and the costs to some extent subjective.
Expenditures are recognized in their actual amount. It
is important to determine the amount of the costs that the organization has
carried out with the purpose of deriving income on ordinary activities.
In the Russian accounting practice, the estimation of
the costs of ordinary activities of the organization, depending on the adopted
accounting policy can produce at full or reduced cost of sales.
Total cost of sales includes resources spent in
production and bringing it to the consumer – the sum of direct costs to a cost
accounting object and a proportionate share of overhead and General expenses,
attributable to the same object.
The essence of the formation of the reduced cost of
sales lies in the fact that General expenses are not allocated between
production accounting, and immediately written off to financial results of the
organization.
In the process of improving the economic mechanism of
formation and rules of assessment of financial results are subjected to
significant changes. The approach of the basic principles of the Russian
accounting to international standards has caused in our country, the need to
build new for us accounting concept financial results. This contributes to the
globalization of the world economy and the increasing role of international
financial reporting standards. The correct solution of these questions depend
on the financial support of activities of economic entities, overcoming a
crisis condition and future prospects of their activities.
However, operating in Russia accounting regulations
have yet to reflect the recent changes to IFRS in the field of estimating
separate objects of accounting. So, in the national accounting system no use of
many types of value and methods of valuation of assets and liabilities used in
the international practice, in particular, such as fair and present value. The
situation, in our view, reduces consumer awareness of the value of assets,
capital and liabilities of the organization, and, consequently, the level of
handling the results of operations and adapting national accounting system with
international accounting systems.
