Question
22. A new drug named "EEE" was introduced by Genius Inc. in the market on December 1, 2005.
Genius Inc.'s financial year ends on December 31,2005. It was the only company that was permitted to
manufacture this patented drug. The drug is used by patients suffering from an irregular heartbeat. On
March 31, 2006, after the drug was introduced, more than 1,000 patients died. After a series of
investigations, authorities discovered that when this drug was simultaneously used with "BBB," a drug
used to regulate hypertension, the patient's blood would clot and the patient suffered a stroke. A lawsuit
for GHS100,000,000 has been filed against Genius Inc. The financial statements were authorized for
issuance on April 30, 2006. Which of the following options is the appropriate accounting treatment for
this post-statement of financial position event under IAS 10?
(a) The entity should provide GHS100,000,000 because this is an "adjusting event" and the financial
statements were authorized to be issued after the accident.
(b) The entity should disclose GHS100,000,000 as a contingent liability because it is an "adjusting
event."
5
(c) The entity should disclose GHS100,000,000 as a "contingent liability" because it is a present
obligation with an improbable outflow.
(d) Assuming the probability of the lawsuit being decided against Genius Inc. is remote, the entity
should disclose it in the footnotes, because it is a non-adjusting material event.
23. At the statement of financial position date, December 31, 2021, ABC Inc. carried a receivable from
XYZ, a major customer, at GHS10 million. The "authorization date" of the financial statements is on
February 16, 2022. XYZ declared bankruptcy on Valentine's Day (February 14, 2022). ABC Inc. will
(a) Disclose the fact that XYZ has declared bankruptcy in the footnotes.
(b) Make a provision for this post-statement of financial position event in its financial statements (as
opposed to disclosure in footnotes).
(c) Ignore the event and wait for the outcome of the bankruptcy because the event took place after the
year-end.
(d) Reverse the sale pertaining to this receivable in the comparatives for the prior period and treat this as
an "error" under IAS 8.
