1. An item is recognized as property, plant and equipment (PPE) if it meets the following
recognition criteria (1) tangible items; (2) are held for use in the production or supply of goods
and services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes; (3) are expected to be used
during more than one reporting period; (4) it is probable that future economic benefits or service
potential associated with the item will flow to the entity; (5) the cost or fair value of the item
can be measured reliably; (6) the cost is at least P15,000.00.

2. An item recognized as PPE is initially measured at cost if it was acquired through exchange
transaction and at fair value (as of the date of acquisition) if it was acquired through non-
exchange transaction.

3. After recognition, all PPE are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses.

4. When a major repair/replacement is done, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the
PPE as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance
costs are recognized as expense in surplus or deficit as incurred.

5. For simplicity and to avoid proportionate computation, the depreciation is for one month if the
PPE is available for use on or before the 15th of the month. However, if the PPE is available for
use after the 15th of the month, depreciation is for the succeeding month.

6. The straight-line method of depreciation is adopted.

7. Residual value equivalent to 5 percent of the cost of PPE.

Audit Risk:

1. The risk of material misstatement because of weakness in internal control (e.g. Inadequate
involvement of management in overseeing employees with access to assets susceptible of
 misappropriation; Lack of complete and timely verification and reconciliation of assets;
Inadequate physical safeguards over PPE; Misuse of entity’s assets by employee; Assets is
intentionally sold below fair market value; Using entity’s assets for personal use (e.g. using
entity’s assets as collateral for a personal loan or a loan to related party).

2. The risk that the result of the actual of the actual physical count of PPE may not be reconciled
with the recorded balances per General Ledger and Subsidiary Ledger.

3. The risk that the asset is not properly valued as of the balance sheet date due non-assessment
or erroneous assessment for any impairment thereof (or reversal of impairment) and/or its
value not properly allocated over the years of its useful life because of erroneous computation
of depreciation.
