company is operating in the international market are following international financial
reporting framework. As this International rules and regulation has very complex structure
which require from company or entity to establish a separate compliance function like
internal audit department or audit committee and foam a policy to define role and
responsibility of such function or department. This report focuses on the analysing the cash
flow statement and recording of accounts as per the accounting rules and taxation rules. It is a
listed company operating in the international field which make it obligated to compliance
with domestic as well as international financial reporting framework.
Answer to question-1
Analysis of the Cash flow statement
Cash flow statement show the flow of the cash whether it is inflow or outflow , It include
the cash flow of current year as well as cash flow of the year as well as cash flow of the year
which is not related to relevant previous year. Cash flow statement classifies its activity in
three phases:-
Operating Activity which includes the flows of the cash which generate from operational
activity.
Investment activity includes the flow of cash from sale or purchases of any Immovable
property.
Financial activity includes the cash flow from financial activity like loan taken or repayment,
issue of security or redemption of debenture etc.

Corporate Accounting
The non- cash items if company is AUD $ 34 million which have increased by 22% since
last one year.
The company has also acquired the new machinery and assets of AUD $886 million which
has been shown in investment activity.
The cash outflow from the financial activities have reflected the cash outflow of AUD $ 396
in 2017 that is 12% higher as compared to last year data.
The company has also declared the dividend on its share capital which is AUD$119
million .It is 10% higher than the previous year.
After assessing the cash flow of JB HI-FI Company it is concluded that company has
increased its free cash flow to AUD$ 21 million. Since last years.
Answer to question-2

Net cash provided by (used for) financing
activities 716 -131 -130 -28 -91
Free cash flow 142 133 137 5 121
As company is operating on a large scale so it is reasonable to have higher amount of
operating activity therefore all of its free cash flow is accompanied with the increasing and
decreasing of cash. Company is having positive cash flow in the business as reflect from free
cash flow amounting AUD $ 142 million. If company want to sustain its capital for long run
than it needs to focus on increasing the value of its business then they needs to increase the
overall output and efficiency of the business.

The provision for depreciation ,doubtful debts warranty or third party claim or provision for
tax etc. are the non-cash items which cannot be shown in cash flow statement . These non-
cash item are only requiring adjusting in income statement to calculate net profit of the year
(Brigham, and Ehrhardt, 2013).
Answer to question no-4
As from my analysis I have understood that the cash flow statement cover only those item
which are related to cash flow irrespective of the fact that they belong to current year or not .
But when it comes to income statement it considers only those items which belong to current
year and adjustment to calculate net profit (Brigham, and Ehrhardt, 2013).
It is observed that the income statement of the JB Hi-Fi Company covers only those items
which have direct and indirect impact on the present year profit. It includes all the provisions

Corporate Accounting
and taxes which will be required to pay or provisions for the income tax made. The cash flwo
statement covers all the tax payment of company in the present year.
Answer to question no-5
Income statement is prepared to calculate net profit available for shareholder after
considering revenue item relented to relevant previous year. Advance made to sappier or
advance received from customer will not be shown to income statement as it does not belong
to relevant previous year. This is done to show the true and fair view of income statement so
that the economic decision of user of such statement does not affect. The true and fair view
of the income statement is based on the recording framework and accounting rules for
identifying the profit and loss of Company.
Answer to question no-6
Tax payment is required to be paid as tax obligation by Company. This amount of tax
calculate as per the rules and regulation related to income tax act applicable to the company
in the country in which it is operating. AUD $ 65.65 has been paid by the company in
current year as compared to last year data which shows the payment of tax AUD $ 86.8
(Brigham, and Ehrhardt, 2013).
Particular(AUD $ in million) 2016 2017
Income tax expenses 86.8 65.6
However, company is having high financial leverage due to which it reduces the amount of
tax. The higher interest expenses payment in the books of account will be used by JB Hi-Fi

Corporate Accounting
Company to reduce the tax payment on long term basis. It is ideally used as tax planning of
the organization.
Answer to question no-7
It is analyzed that the tax amount paid by company is done by following the taxation rules
and standards. The income tax rate computed based on the accounting income differ from the
tax paid by company in its books of accounts.
Explain, why there is difference between both and
reasons
The income tax payment made by company is AUD $ 65.6 million in 2017 .The tax rate
applicable to the company is 30 %.
It would be around 259*30%.
The amount of tax should be 77.7 million.
 The accounting profit is calculated on the basis of financial reporting framework but
the profit for taxation matter is calculated on the basis of income tax rule after
considering the relevant provision and deferred tax arise due to timing difference
between accounting profit or income tax profit .
 Two reason for the changes in this tax payment
1. Some expenditure is not allowed as per income tax rule but this expenditure is
deductible as per accounting standard so that it will lead to temporary difference.
2. Rate applicable to fixed assets for the purpose of calculation of depreciation are
applied as per company act rather than the rate as per income tax rule.

Corporate Accounting
Answer to question no-8
The deferred tax liabilities recorded is amounting to $ 8.2 million. It is evaluated that JB Hi-
Fi Company could recognize and carried forward its deferred tax libiliteis to the extent to
which it could set off with its tax payment. It has deferred tax liabilities in its books of
account t (Brigham, and Ehrhardt, 2013).
It is evaluated that the recording of the tax payment in the books of account is different as per
the accounting rules and regulation and taxation rules and regulation given under AASB 112.
Recording of the deferred tax assets is done when the tax payment is higher as compared too
accounting taxation rules (Robinson, Stomberg, & Towery, 2015).
On the other hand, tax payment is lower as per the computation made under the income tax
rules and regulation as compared to the tax computed as per the accounting rules then the
higher tax will be considered as deferred tax assets (JB HI-FI, 2017).
The deferred tax liabilities in the books of accounts shown are given below given table
(Towery, 2017).
Particular (AUD $ million) 2017 2016
Deferred tax liabilities 8.2 0

Corporate Accounting
Answer to question no-9
Income tax payable and current tax assets as recorded by the company disclose as follows:-
JB HI Fi Company Had paid AUD $ 4.9 million in the year 2016 which have gone up to
AUD $ 9 million in 2017 (JB HI-FI, 2017).
Income tax paid by the company has been calculated as per accounting profit but this amount
should be calculated on the basis of income tax provision and rule.
AUD $ 8.5 million has been shown as deferred tax payment by JB Hi-Fi Company
(Mullinova, &Simonyants, 2016).
Particular(AUD $ in million) 2016 2017
Income tax payable 4.9 9
Why the income tax payment is not same with the income
tax payable
It is evaluated that the income tax payment shown in the books of account is the amount of
tax charged on the profit earned by the company. It is considered that thee the income tax
payable is the total amount of tax including outstanding of the previous years (Watson, 2018).
The recording of the income tax payment is done in the profit and loss accounts and the
recording of the income tax payment is done in the liabilities side of the balance sheet
(Reinstein, & Ahlers, 2018).

Corporate Accounting
Answer to question no-10
It is evaluated that the cash flow statement is accompanied with the inflow and outflow of the
cash in the business (Farrell, Greig, and Hamoudi2018).
The cash flow statement shows the amount of tax payment which company made in the
present year i.e. $98.5 million. It covers all the tax payment.
The income tax recorded in the profit and loss account is not equal to the amount of the tax
payment shown in the cash flow statement of company (Ayers,., Call, & Schwab, 2018).
Reason
The cash flow statement covers all the tax payment in the present year whether it relates to
present year or not. The tax payment is charged on the current year profit and recorded as tax
amount charged as well.
On the other hand, tax charged on the profit is shown in the profit and loss account as per the
AASB 112 (Phillips, et al. , 2014).
Answer to question no-11
Treatment of the Tax
Interesting thing
The tax payment as per the AASB 112 is not certain so it blocks high amount of cash or
capital in business.
Surprising thing

Corporate Accounting
Company can never has deferred tax assets and deferred tax libiliteis in the books of accounts
at the same time (Akomeah, Kong., & Antwi, 2018).
Difficulty in recorded the entire tax amount
The main difficulty in the recording of the tax amount arise due to the change in the taxation
rules and difference between the accounting rules and taxation rules and regulations (Brabete,
Drăgan., & Dindiri, 2018).
Conclusion
After analysing all the details and taxation rules, it could be inferred that the deferred
tax asset and deferred tax liabilities is recorded in the balance sheet which reflects the excess
tax payment and short amount of tax payment made by the company. After analysing all the
facts, it could be inferred that the computation of the tax amount is done by following proper
taxation rules and regulations. if in case the tax payment is higher as compared to accounting
rules and regulation then the same will be recorded as deferred tax assets in the books of
account of company.
