, Assets Defined:
According to the conceptual framework an asset is defined as:
Present Economic resource (and the right to it)
Controlled by the entity
As a result of past event
The recognition criteria for an asset are:
Relevance of the information regarding the asset
Faithful representation
The Difference Between Non-Current and Current Assets
Non-current assets refer to assets that are expected to be controlled by the entity for longer than next
12 months. In other words, these assets will not convert into cash within the next financial year.
Examples:
Land
Buildings
Vehicles
Furniture
Machinery
Equipment
Current assets refer to assets that are expected to be controlled by the entity for a period shorter than
next 12 months. This means that these types of assets will be converted into cash within the next
financial years. Examples:
Inventory
Cash and Cash equivalents
Debtors
Other income receivable
Prepaid expenses
Tangible vs. Intangible Non-current Assets
Tangible non-current assets are assets that one can experience with one’s natural sense and these
assets are expected to be controlled by the entity for longer than the next 12 months.
Section 17.2 of IFRS for SMEs defines “property, plant and equipment” as tangible assets that are
controlled by the entity for the purposes of production administrative purposes or to be rented out
(investment property). These assets are expected to be under the control of the entity for longer than
one reporting period (financial year). However, this definition excludes biological assets (agricultural
activities), mining rights and mineral reserves (oil and other reserves that cannot be replenished once
consumed).
Intangible non-current assets are assets that one cannot experience with one’s natural senses, but these
assets are expected to be controlled by the entity for longer than the next 12 months. Examples are
trademarks, patents copyrights and recipes.
