IAS-2: Inventories

IAS-2

IAS -2 serves to define the proper accounting procedures for managing inventories. It offers comprehensive guidance on evaluating inventory costs and recognizing associated expenses, including write-downs to reflect net realizable value.
Scope of Inventories

Inclusions: Inventories comprise finished goods for sale, work in process, and raw materials and supplies consumed in production.
Exclusions: Excludes inventories from construction contracts, financial instruments, and certain agricultural assets.

Inventory Valuation Principle

Core Principle: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV).

Measurement of Inventory Costs

Cost Components: Inventory cost encompasses purchase costs, conversion costs, and other expenses related to the present state and location of inventories.
Exceptions: Excludes abnormal waste, storage costs, unrelated overheads, selling costs, foreign exchange variations, and certain interest costs.

Methods for Inventory Measurement

Cost Formulas: The standard cost and retail methods are acceptable if they approximate the actual cost.
Non-Interchangeable Items: Precise costs attributed to individual items.
Interchangeable Items: FIFO or weighted average cost formulas allowed; LIFO not permitted after 2003.

Write-Downs to Net Realizable Value (NRV)

Definition: NRV is the expected selling price minus completion and sale-related costs.
Recognition: Write-downs to NRV recorded as expenses when they occur; reversals recognized in the income statement during the reversal period.

Expense Recognition

IAS 18: Revenue recognition for sold goods is governed by IAS 18 Revenue.
Expense Recognition: Carrying the amount of sold inventories is recognized as expenses (cost of goods sold); write-downs and inventory losses are also recognized as expenses.

Disclosure Requirements

Mandatory Disclosures: Include accounting policy, carrying amounts categorized by type, inventory write-downs and reversals, inventory pledged as security, and costs recognized as expenses.
Alternative Presentation: Entities can disclose operating costs by nature and net change in inventories, aligning with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements.

I have recently registered a Private Limited firm and was looking for a CA to take care of the filings, Startup India Certificate, and other formalities. I have received emails from legal Suvidha and a few others. I tried talking to them all. But, Mr. Mayank from Legal Suvidha was very impressive and was patient enough, prompt to answer all the queries. He has a very professional team and after the initial formalities, I started interacting with the team. It's not even 2 weeks but I really feel overwhelmed by their service and professionalism. I received my startup India certificate yesterday and my filings have been done promptly. The team at legal suvidha Ms. Nidhi, Ms. Priyanka, Ms. Koshika, and Ms. Saloni all show the same professionalism and are readily available to take care of the official filings and stuff. Overall a great experience till now and looking forward to a great journey!
