The following notes are relevant:
i) Halidu made credit sales for GH¢196 million on a sale or return basis and this is currently included in revenue in the trial balance. At 30 June 2024 customers who had not paid for the goods, had the right to return GH¢62.4 million of them. Halidu applied a mark-up on cost of 30% on all these sales. In the past Halidu’s customers have sometimes returned goods under this type of agreement.
ii) On 1 July 2023, Halidu revalued its property to GH¢1,440 million, of which GH¢360 million relates to the land. This property was acquired 10 years ago at a cost of GH¢1,200 million which included GH¢300 million for the land. The building had an estimated life of 40 years when it was acquired and this has not changed as a result of the revaluation. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis. The revaluation has not yet been recorded in the books. Halidu has a policy of transferring any excess depreciation to retained earnings.
iii) During the year, Halidu sold some plant that cost GH¢120 million on 1 December 2020. The proceeds of this sale were GH¢72 million and these have been credited to cost of sales. No other entries have been made relating to the disposal. Plant and equipment is to be depreciated on the reducing balance basis at a rate of 20% per annum. Halidu charges a full year’s depreciation in the year of acquisition and none in the year of disposal.
iv) The licence is being amortised on the straight line basis at a rate of 20% per annum. All depreciation and amortisation is to be charged to cost of sales.
v) The directors have estimated the provision for income tax for the year ended 30 June 2024 at GH¢76.2 million. The balance of taxation in the trial balance relates to over/under provision of tax in the previous year. The only deferred tax consequence relates to those mentioned in note (ii) above. The company pays tax on profit at the rate of 25%.
vi) Halidu intends to dispose of a major line of its business operations in the course of the year. At the date the held for sale criteria were met, the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities comprising the line of business were:
| GH¢’000 | |
|---|---|
| Plant and equipment | 138,000 |
| Trade receivables | 9,000 |
| Trade payables | 7,000 |

CR – May 2016 – L3 – Q5 – Integrated Reporting
Discuss the purpose of Management Commentary, why it is not mandatory, and the most relevant elements for Umu Amaeshi Plc to focus on in its management commentary.
Umu Amaeshi Plc is a conglomerate that has diverse businesses cutting across some social and environmental sensitive sectors listed on the Nigeria Stock Exchange. In compliance with financial reporting regulatory directives of Nigeria, it has adopted IFRS in preparing its financial statements. The board is aware that this step will enhance the transparency of its reporting and assist in attracting foreign institutional investors who may be desirous of investing in Nigeria. However, in one of the company’s board meetings, the CFO briefed members that given the social and environmental sensitive nature of its operation, the adoption of IFRS may not be good enough to bring that transparency relating to its policies and practices relating to social and environmental disclosures. He makes reference to Para 14 of IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements, which clearly stated that:
“Many entities also present, outside the financial statements, reports and statements such as environmental reports and value-added statements, particularly in industries in which environmental factors are significant and when employees are regarded as an important user group. Reports and statements presented outside financial statements are outside the scope of IFRS.”
The board does not want to engage in social and environmental reporting disclosures since many who do engage in what the business community see as marketing and reports filled with rhetoric. The CFO has therefore suggested the use of Management Commentary.
Required:
a) Briefly explain the purpose of Management Commentary and why it was not made a mandatory requirement for all companies by the IASB. (6 Marks)
b) Identify the three most relevant elements of Management Commentary that Umu Amaeshi Plc should focus on in its management commentary and explain how they will assist the company to achieve the above objectives, given that it does not want to engage in social and environmental disclosure.
