Introduction to Liabilities
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 3
Definition of a Liability
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 4
A liability is a present obligation that
results from past transactions or events and
usually involves giving up resources
embodying economic benefits
◦ An obligation is a duty or responsibility to act
or perform in a certain way
◦ The entity has little or no discretion to avoid
the obligation
◦ The transaction or event that obliges the entity
has already occurred
Proposed Definition (IFRS)
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 5
A liability is a present obligation of the
entity to transfer an economic resource
as a result of past events
◦ The obligation exists at the present time
◦ An obligation must be capable of generating
outflows of economic benefits (can be uncertain)
◦ The entity must be the party that is bound by
the obligation
Financial Liabilities
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 6
Financial Liabilities
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 7
A liability is recognized as a financial
liability if it involves a contractual
obligation to:
◦ Deliver cash or other financial assets to
another entity
◦ Exchange financial assets or financial
liabilities with another entity that are
potentially unfavourable
Financial Liabilities
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 8
Under IFRS, a liability is also considered to
be a financial liability for certain contracts
that will or may be settled using the entity’s
own equity instruments
Financial Liabilities
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 9
Financial liabilities are initially measured at
fair value
◦ However, when liabilities are relatively short-
term in nature, they are usually measured at
maturity value
Most financial liabilities are subsequently
measured at amortized cost
Short-Term Debt
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 10
Short-term debt includes:
◦ The maturing portion of long-term debt
◦ A liability that is due on demand or callable
◦ The total amount of long-term debt if the
agreement is violated as at the balance sheet
date
◦ Most debt that is in the process of being
refinanced at the balance sheet date
Short-Term Debt
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016
11
ASPE
◦ Allows violations of debt agreements to remain
as long-term as long as both of the following are
present:
The creditor waives the requirements or the violation
is cured within the grace period
It is likely that a violation will not happen again within a
year from the balance sheet date
◦ Allows debt that has been refinanced after the
balance sheet date to be shown as long-term
instead of current
Discussion Question

Question 1: E13-8
Non-Financial Liabilities
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 13
Non-Financial Liabilities
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 14
Any liability that does not meet the
definition of a financial liability
◦ Therefore, they are usually not payable in cash
ASPE
◦ Measured in a variety of ways
IFRS
◦ Initially and subsequently measured at the best
estimate of what the entity would pay to settle
the obligation
Product Guarantees
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 15
Expense Approach
◦ Measures the product guarantee at its cost
Recognized as an accrued liability
◦ IFRS uses the expected value versus the most likely
estimate that is used in ASPE
Revenue Approach
◦ Measures the product guarantee at its value
Recognized as a separate revenue stream (i.e. multiple
deliverables)
◦ IFRS defines an onerous contract to exist where the
costs exceed the unearned revenue
When an onerous contract exists, a loss and related liability are
recognized for any expected shortfall
Decommissioning & Restoration
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 16
Obligations that are associated with the
eventual retirement of long-lived assets in
certain industries
◦ Also referred to as an asset retirement
obligation (ARO) or site restoration requirement
◦ Does not include the costs related to
environmental clean-up costs due to current
events
Decommissioning & Restoration
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 17
IFRS
◦ Recognized when the obligation is incurred
◦ Considers legal and constructive obligations
◦ Capital asset cost only includes the costs related
to the acquisition of the asset
◦ The interest adjustment due to the passage of
time is recognized as a borrowing cost
Decommissioning & Restoration
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 18
ASPE
◦ Recognized when the obligation can be
reasonably estimated
◦ Considers only legal obligations
◦ Capital asset cost includes the costs related to
the acquisition of the asset and the subsequent
use of the asset
◦ The interest adjustment due to the passage of
time is recognized as an operating cost

Question 2: WA13-1 (Part 3 only)
Contingencies
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 20
Contingencies
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 21
ASPE
◦ A contingent liability is based on one or more
future events that will confirm the existence or
the amount payable
◦ Contingent gains and assets are not recognized
until received but can be disclosed
◦ Contingent losses are recognized only if:
It is likely that a future event will confirm the loss
The loss amount can be reasonably estimated
Contingencies
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 22
IFRS
◦ A contingent liability includes existing or possible
obligations that are not recognized in the
financial statements but are disclosed
◦ A contingent asset can only be recognized if the
realisation of income is virtually certain,
otherwise it is disclosed
Contingencies
RSM 221 Intermediate Financial Accounting II: Winter 2016 23
IFRS
◦ A provision is recognized when:
There is a present obligation as a result of a past
event
It is probable that the outflow of economic benefits
will be required
A reliable estimate can be made for the amount of
the obligation
