Module 3
Cooperatives – Part 1 (Financial Reporting)
Learning Outcomes

At the end of this module, you should be able to:


1. Understand the financial reporting framework for cooperatives;
2. Differentiate the important provisions of the Philippine Financial Reporting Framework
(PFRF) for Cooperatives and the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards; and
3. Determine whether a financial statement of a cooperative is appropriately stated in
accordance with the PFRF for Cooperatives.

INTRODUCTION

By now, after having undergone all of your intermediate accounting courses, you are already
familiar with financial statement preparation in accordance with the provisions of the Philippine
Financial Reporting Standards. This time, however, we will discuss the financial reporting for
cooperatives. Financial reporting for cooperatives is slightly different than those for non-
cooperative entities. It does not entirely follow the requirements of neither the Philippine
Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS) nor the PFRS for SMEs. The financial reporting
requirements covering cooperatives in the Philippines is called the Philippine Financial Reporting
Framework (PFRF) for Cooperatives.

The PFRF for cooperatives applies to all cooperatives registered with the Cooperative
Development Authority, regardless of size, except:

1. Cooperative banks
 These are mandated to apply full PFRS by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, but
taking into consideration Cooperative laws, rules, regulations and principles.

2. Cooperatives engaged in insurance


 These are required to follow the framework prescribed by the Insurance
Commission.

3. Electric cooperatives
 These cooperatives use the financial reporting framework required by the
National Electrification Administration (NEA).

The PFRF for cooperatives is effective for 2016 audited financial statements as per CDA MC
2015-06. An amended PFRF for cooperatives was issued in 2022 per CDA MC 2022-25.

This module is divided into three parts:


1. Background on cooperatives
2. Financial statements for cooperatives
3. PFRF for Cooperatives provisions for specific accounts balances and transactions

 According to Section 3.3 of PFRF for Cooperatives, the following are examples
of cash flows arising from financing activities:
o Cash payment for interest on share capital and patronage refund

 You may have noted the conflicting provisions regarding treatment of payment for interest on
share capital and patronage refund in the above discussion. According to section 3.3 of the
PFRF for cooperatives, this is an example of cash flow from financing activities. However,
Section 7, by using the word “shall”, requires the cooperatives to present this under operating
activities. Since section 3.3 only cites examples while Section 7 provides a requirement, we will
follow the provisions under Section 7 and present cash payment for interest on share capital and
patronage refund under operating activities.

Accounting Policies, Errors and Estimates

 Change in accounting policy is accounted for currently.

 Accounting estimates are accounted for currently and prospectively.

 Accounting errors are accounted for in the current period.


o Correction of the error will affect the current year financial statements only.
The entity will use the Prior Period Adjustment account in the Statement of
Operations.)

Basic Financial Instruments

a. Cash
 Cash is stated at face value. Cash denominated in foreign currency should be
translated into Philippine Peso using the closing rate as of the reporting date.

b. Debt instruments (such as account, note or loan receivable or payable)

Basic financial instruments – initial recognition

A cooperative shall recognize a financial asset or a financial liability only when the cooperative
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments – initial measurement

When a financial asset or financial liability is recognized initially, a cooperative shall measure it at
the transaction price (including transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial
assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value through profit or loss) unless the arrangement
constitutes, in effect, a financing transaction.

If the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the cooperative shall measure the
financial asset or financial liability at the present value of the future payments discounted at a
market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Basic financial instruments – subsequent measurement

Audit 4 – Auditing & Assurance: Specialized Industries


/uepcba _1st semester 2023-2024

debt or equity securities that are held for trading – at fair value with changes in fair
value recognized in profit and loss

debt of equity securities not intended to be disposed within 12 months – at fair value
with changes in fair value recognized in equity

e. Investments in non-publicly-traded securities, mutual funds, as well as other externally


managed funds – at cost less impairment

Basic financial instruments – dividends

The cooperative shall recognize dividends and other distributions received from the equity
investment as income without regard to whether the distributions are from accumulated profits
of the investee arising before or after the date of acquisition.

Stock dividends, however, do not involve transfer of resources from the investee. Accordingly,
stock dividends received shall not be recognized as income.

Inventories

 Measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value (estimated selling price less costs to
complete and sell)

 Cost is determined using


o Specific identification – for items that are not ordinarily interchangeable
and goods/services produced and segregated for specific projects
o FIFO or weighted average for others

 Inventory cost includes costs to purchase, costs of conversion and costs to bring the
asset to present location and condition

Investment in Associates, Joint Ventures, Subsidiaries

 These shall be accounted for using the cost model (cost less any accumulated
impairment losses).
o Note: This requires auditors to test for impairment, as the model encourages cooperatives not to
take into consideration losses of their investee.

Investment Property

 These shall be accounted for initially at cost, and subsequently at cost less accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Audit 4 – Auditing & Assurance: Specialized Industries


/uepcba _1st semester 2023-2024

 Revaluation model – this is allowed for land only and subject to guidelines issued by the
Authority.
 Appraisal increase shall be classified as revaluation surplus under the equity section

Intangible Assets

 All costs incurred to internally develop intangible assets such as research and
development costs are charged to expense.

 Intangible assets must be measured using cost-amortization-impairment model.

 Revaluation of intangible asset is not permitted

 All intangible assets are considered to have a finite life. If unable to estimate the useful
life of an intangible asset, the life is presumed to be 10 years.

Leases

 Leases are either finance or operating leases.

 Finance leases result in substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership
being transferred to the lessee, while operating leases do not.

 Operating lease – expensed out

 Finance lease – capitalized

 Note that any change or development in PFRS or PFRS for SMEs regarding leases will
not affect cooperatives unless the CDA issues a memorandum circular adopting such
change.

Provisions and contingencies

Provisions are recognized only when


1. there is a present obligation as a result of a past event,
2. it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits, and
3. the amount can be estimated reliably.

Contingent liabilities are not recognized as liabilities. They are disclosed if reasonably possible or
probable but not estimable.

Contingent assets are not recognized as assets. These are disclosed if probable.
Audit 4 – Auditing & Assurance: Specialized Industries
/uepcba _1st semester 2023-2024

Revenue recognition

Sale of goods and services – accrual

Interest Income for Savings and Credit Cooperatives – interest is recognized when earned AND
received.

Donations and Grants

 This refers to an assistance by another entity in the form of a transfer of resources to a


cooperative in return for past or future compliance with specified conditions relating to
the operating activities of the cooperative.

 Recognized in equity when received and measured at fair value of asset received

 Even donations for working capital purposes shall remain as equity.

 When a donation/grant is in the form of a depreciable asset, any donation/grants initially


recognized in equity shall be recognized in profit or loss over the useful life of the
depreciable asset. The reporting entity will use the “Donation and Grants Subsidy”
account to offset depreciation expense.

 Reported as a separate line item in the Statement of Financial Condition

Borrowing Costs

 A cooperative shall recognize all borrowing costs as an expense in the period they are
incurred.

 Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or


production of a qualifying asset may be capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. The
amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization should be determined in accordance
with this framework.

 Such borrowing costs are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset when it is probable
that they will result in future economic benefits to the cooperative and the costs can be
measured reliably.

 Only those borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the entity may be capitalized.
When the carrying amount or the expected ultimate cost of the qualifying asset exceeds
its recoverable amount or the net realizable value, the carrying amount is written down or
written off in accordance with the requirements of other international and/or national
accounting standards. In certain circumstances, the amount of the write-down or write-
off is written back in accordance with those other standards.

 Capitalization of borrowing costs should be suspended during extended periods in which


active development is interrupted, and expensed. Borrowing costs may be incurred
Audit 4 – Auditing & Assurance: Specialized Industries
/uepcba _1st semester 2023-2024
12

during an extended period in which the activities necessary to prepare an asset for its
intended use or sale are interrupted. Such costs are costs of holding partially completed
assets and do not qualify for capitalization.

 Issue on borrowing costs: How to separate borrowing costs used in operations and used
for qualifying assets?

o Cooperatives must be able to segregate which part of the borrowings were used
for the qualifying asset and auditors must perform substantive tests to validate
such.

o Take note that if the interest incurred was for the purchase of an asset on which
income may be readily derived, the related interest should be expensed as
incurred (matching principle).

Impairment of Assets

Inventories
 Write down, in profit or loss, to lower of cost and selling price less costs to complete and sell.

All other assets


 Write down, in profit or loss, to recoverable amount, if recoverable amount is below carrying
amount.

When circumstances that led to the impairment no longer exist, the impairment is reversed
through profit or loss in the Statement of Operations.

Post-Employment Benefits: Defined Benefit Plans

 If able, without undue cost or effort, the cooperative shall use the projected unit credit
method to measure its defined benefit obligation and related expense
 Vested past service costs are recognized immediately in the Statement of Operations
 Unvested past service cost shall be amortized over the remaining vesting period
 Actuarial gains or losses are recognized immediately in the Statement of Operations

Foreign Currency Transaction

 Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in the Statement of
Operations

extraction of mineral resources (extractive activities) shall account for expenditure on the
acquisition or development of tangible or intangible assets for use in extractive activities.

When a cooperative has an obligation to dismantle or remove an item, or to restore the site, such
obligations and costs are accounted for in accordance with Section on Provisions and Contingences.

Statutory Funds

This consist of:


1. Reserve fund
