NOTES TO USERS ABOUT SAMPLE PAPERS
Sample papers are published by Accounting Technicians Ireland. They are intended to provide guidance
to students and their teachers regarding the style and type of question, and their suggested solutions, in
our examinations. They are not intended to provide an exhaustive list of all possible questions that may
be asked and both students and teachers alike are reminded to consult our published syllabus (see
www.AccountingTechniciansIreland.ie) for a comprehensive list of examinable topics.
There are often many possible approaches to the solution of questions in professional examinations. It
should not be assumed that the approach adopted in these solutions is the only correct approach,
particularly with discursive answers. Alternative answers will be marked on their own merits.

Advanced Financial Accounting
Sample Paper 2 – Suggested Solutions
NOTE: This sample paper and solution have been prepared to reflect the provisions of FRS 100‐
FRS102.

Solution to question 1
(a) What are Accounting Standards and describe the objectives of these standards.
Accounting standards are a set of rules that describe how an item in financial accounting is
treated and calculated and how accounts should be prepared and presented. The objective of
accounting standards is to regulate the accounting profession and to provide guidance to both
accounting practitioners and users of financial information about how contentious and
difficult areas should be treated.
Accounting standards are issued by a national or international body of the accounting

profession and are intended to apply to all financial accounts which are intended to give a true
and fair view of the financial position and profit/loss of an entity. Standards are detailed
working regulations within the framework of government legislation and they cover areas in
which the law is silent. A sub‐committee of the FRC‐ the Codes and Standards Committee are
responsible for Irish and UK GAAP.
(b) Standard setting process
The standard setting process involves eight steps and incorporates an extensive
consultation process from stakeholders. The eight steps are as follows;
1. Initial scoping of the issue being considered.

2. A discussion paper providing a detailed overview of the issue, why a standard is necessary,
different potential approaches to dealing with the issue, preliminary views of the FRC and
an invitation to comment on the issue.
3. Public consultation.
4. Outreach events to encourage input to the standard setting process including lab activities, case
studies and investigations.
5. Exposure Draft
6. The final code or standard
7. Post implementation review
8. Regular reviews.
Transparency within the process
As can be seen from the above discussion the process through which the standard is developed
involves a significant amount of public consultation. This improves transparency in the standard
setting process. It is not possible for an accounting standard to be issued without taking on
board comments from interested parties. This avoids the situation whereby the process becomes
a pure academic exercise and ensures that the practical application is considered, understood
and provided for.

20,200 + 19,500 + 5,600 = 45,300
(3) 50,500 x 60% = 30,300 + 28,000 + 8,400 = 66,700

To : The Directors
From : A. Accountant
Date : XX/MM/YY
Subject : Accounting treatment of government grants
A. Accounting treatment
The grants which have been approved for the new production facility fall into two distinct
categories:
1. Revenue based grant – the grant for training costs

2. Capital based grant – the grant for plant
The above two grants are treated differently for accounting purposes. FRS 102 provides that: Revenue
based grants are to be credited to revenue as “other income” in the period in which the
related revenue expenditure has been incurred.
Capital based grants should be credited to revenue over the life of the related non‐current asset. The
amount of the grant should be credited to a deferred grant account, a portion of which is transferred to
revenue annually on the same basis as the related asset is depreciated
B. Recommendations
I recommend that Carter Limited adopt the following accounting treatment; Training
grants – these grants be credited to revenue as “other income” .

Capital Grants – these grants should be credited to a deferred grant account and disclosed
separately in the Statement of Financial Position under the heading ‘Government Grants’. The
grants should be released to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the life of the related
assets using the same rates of depreciation as applied to those assets..
C. Accounting policies
The notes to the accounts of CARTER Limited should include the following:
(i)
Accounting Policy – Government Grants
Grants receivable on additions to non‐current assets are credited to the Deferred Government Grant
Account and are allocated to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the estimated useful lives of
the assets concerned. Revenue based grants are credited directly to the Statement of Comprehensive
Income in the year in which they become due.
