This essay examines the application of Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) standards in the financial reporting of Wesfarmers, a major Australian supermarket chain. The essay focuses on how AASB standards, particularly AASB 101 (Presentation of Financial Statements), AASB 102 (Inventories), AASB 116 (Property, Plant and Equipment), and AASB 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers), are utilized to provide relevant and decision-useful information to various stakeholders including investors, creditors, and management. The analysis includes discussions on the presentation of financial statements, inventory valuation, the accounting treatment of property, plant, and equipment, and revenue recognition. The essay highlights how Wesfarmers adheres to these standards, providing insights into the company's financial position, performance, and cash flows, which in turn aids stakeholders in making informed economic decisions. References to Wesfarmers' annual reports support the discussion, demonstrating the practical application of these standards and their impact on the reliability and transparency of financial information.
