Understanding Understanding U.S. U.S. GAAP GAAP Key Differences
The Recording Process
Rules for ing for specific events sometimes differ across countries. For example, IFRS companies rely less on historical cost and more on fair value than U.S. companies. Despite the differences, the double-entry ing system is the basis of ing systems worldwide. Both the IASB and FASB go beyond the basic definitions provided in this textbook for the key elements of financial statements, that is, assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and expenses. The more substantive definitions, using the FASB definitional structure, are provided in the Chapter 1 “Understanding U.S. GAAP” section. Slide 2-43
Understanding Understanding U.S. U.S. GAAP GAAP Key Differences
The Recording Process
A trial balance under GAAP follows the same format as shown in the textbook. In the United States, equity is often referred to as either shareholders’ equity or stockholders’ equity, and Share Capital —Ordinary is referred to as Common Stock. The statement of financial position is often called the balance sheet in the United States.
Slide 2-44
Understanding Understanding U.S. U.S. GAAP GAAP Looking to the Future
The Recording Process
The basic recording process shown in this textbook is followed by companies across the globe. It is unlikely to change in the future. The definitional structure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and expenses may change over time as the IASB and FASB evaluate their overall conceptual framework for establishing ing standards.
