Current Value Accounting

The Current Value Accounting

a. The term current values accounting or sometimes called the replacement

cost accounting refer to the replacing cost of the current capacity of

production as well as the existing inventory. This means that the managers

need the replacement for the capacity of the replacement equipment to what

are available in the market. This also suggest for the process of evaluation

that are necessary for the determination of the purposes. On the other hand,

it also ignores the historical prices and only focuses on the present values of

the assets (Stretton, H 1999, p. p. 383).

The current cost accounting had introduced UK in the year 1980 which

notified that it had failed and cease it to only be mandatory. The country's

standard setters were burnt badly by the totally failed of current cost ratio.

This incident due to firm's lack theoretical base lacks of conviction by the

users and preparers of financial statement, and the validity and adjustment

of the political nature and debate (Ramazanoglu and Holland, 2002, p. 33).

The reversion on the current cost accounting made adjustments when the

nationalized industries in UK adopted it which requires being non-mandatory

and the British Telecom had privatized. This implies that the investors

received the less information regarding the BT's maintaining capital. The

objections also rose in CCA that concerns the impracticability of the

embedded value which is the basis for the fixed asset. There are also

tremendous doubts that rose for the value of CCA in the small companies.

There are also dangerous effects on he planned disappearance and to the

profit figures for the familiar figure of historical cost accounting (Nobes,

1992, p. 157).

b. There are certain issues that focused by the IASB in the measurement of

the assets and liabilities. The organization is currently using the fair but the

other accounting standards prefer to use the current value, deprival or the

value of the business. Although the IASB used the fair value and it is easy to

understand as well as it is less complicated. There are certain problems that

the IASB is experiencing as the active market for some of the kinds of

business asset. In this manner, if there are no active markets, the estimation

need to be use which can be unreliable. This only anticipates the sales and

the profits that can never happen. This can also distort the trends for the

financial statements in market values in making difficult users in assessing

the performance of entity (lfp, 2007, p.42-43).

c. Since it had identified by the IASB and the FASB that the function of

company is the safety and custody of reporting for the resources of the

company as well as the efficient and profitable reports, it had been formed

their joint forces for the improvement of the financial reporting for the better

performance of the functions and the conventional system use of fair value

in accounting. Despite of the fact that the fair value disclosure can be

recognized, the requirements in the changes of the fair value must be

reported for the "gains" or the "losses" that appears that can rely in the

concept of Hicks in the theoretical ideal income. The concept of Hicks also

are discarded in giving way for the Fishers' theory for income which are the

two incomparable functions of financial reporting needs to be carried out

independently as well as without compromise. The traditional way of the

"hybrid" system with regards to the accrual accounting wherein the forward-

looking and backward-looking measures of the volume are mixed together

can be replaced into the system of segregation where they must be strictly

apart. This only signifies that the logical extension of the theory of Fisher

only suggests that the disclosure of the managers or the agents of the

return of investment needs to plan the delivery in their owners and principal.

This kind of information on decision-useful is ample for the efficient and

effective operation of the capital market as well as the removal of the

accounting incentives in short-termism (Rayman, 2007, pp. 211-225).
