which can be recovered from the asset. The former is known as the carrying value of the asset and the
later is known as the recoverable amount (Para 6, AASB 136).
If the company does not conduct the impairment test on regular basis then there are the high chances
of having the inflated value of the asset which otherwise shall be equal to the recoverable amount. At
the end of each reporting period, the company shall test in case of each assets whether there are any
indication for the impairment (Para 9, AASB 136). Indication includes significant decline in the market
value of assets or changes in the legal environment in which the company is currently operating and etc.
RECORDING OF IMPAIRMENT OF DRILLING EQUIPMENT
In the given case, an independent valuation has been done within which following values has been
identified:
- Net Selling Price = $60000
- Value in Use = $30000
Recoverable amount is higher of above = $ 60000
Carrying amount = $85800
Impairment Loss = $85800 - $60000 = $25800

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable is the current asset for the company and is amounting to $171000 as on 30th of June

REASON FOR UNDERSTATEMENT OF PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL DEBTS
The provision for doubtful debts has been understated by the company from $81000 to $ 19000. It is
because of the change in accounting estimates that the company has adopted due to non consideration
of the report of the credit expert by the management of the company (Para 32 - 35 , AASB 108). The
information of the credit expert has not been considered as reliable by the company. Secondly, in order

recoverable amount so as to make the carrying amount equal to the recoverable amount (Para 59,
AASB136).
In the given case, Recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less selling costs and value in use.
- Fair Value Less Selling Costs = $300000 - $10000 = $290000
- Value in Use = $250000
Recoverable amount is higher of above = $ 290000
Carrying amount = $252026

BUILDING REVALUATION
Revaluation of building requires the correct valuation considering the changes that have occurred in the
past and some contingencies for future.
CONECPT OF VERIFIABLE MEASUREMENT
Verifiability is regarded as one of the qualifying characteristic feature of the financial statements of the
company. It provides the assurance to the users of the financial statements of the company that the
amount presented in the financial statements is faithfully presented and represents the amount that it
purports to represent (Para 2.29, AASB CF). There are two types of verification – one is direct and the
other one is indirect. In the given case it is neither the direct verification nor the indirect verification.
Also the verification can neither be said as observable nor unobservable. The value has been given by
the friend of the directors of the company for the building for $12, 00,000 which cannot be verified
without employing the registered valuer. Therefore, without verifying the value, no question arises of
having the value of the building recorded in the books of accounts only as per the value given by their
friend.
CONCLUSION
In the report, it is clearly exhibited that the accounting standards plays an important role in the
functioning of the company. Whether it is related to the acquisition of assets or related to the sale of the
assets or the recording of the transactions on the basis of the changes in market conditions and the
social and legal environment in which the company operates. The accounting of the transactions that
have been entered into by the company – Adams Australia Pty Ltd have been discussed in detail along
with the calculations with reference to the relevant accounting standards. The report has laid down the
main focus on the inventory recording and its valuation, impairment and asset valuation. Whole of the
report has flowed around the accounting policies and norms and detailing how the company shall record
the particular transaction in the books of accounts.
In order to conclude the report, the accounting function of every organization shall be given equal and
utmost importance as it forms the base for every function.
