PFRS 9, PARAGRAPH
5.1.1
Provides that a financial asset shall be recognized initially at fair value plus transaction
costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition.
The fair value of a financial asset is usually the transaction price, meaning the fair value
of he consideration given.
For short-term receivables, the fair value is equal to face amount or original invoice
amount.
Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted because the effect of
discounting is usually immaterial.
Accordingly, accounts receivable shall be measured initialy at face amoung or original
invoice amount.

MEASUREMEN
T
PFRS 9, paragraph 5.5.1, after initial recognition, accounts receivable shall be
In accordance with
measured at amortized cost.
The amortized cost is actually the net realizable value of accounts receivable.
The term “amortized cost” has more relevance in long-term note receivable
Thus, the term “net realizable value” is preferably used in relation to accounts receivable.
The net realizable value of accounts receivable is the amount of cash expected to be collected or
the estimated recoverable amount.
NET Initial amount recognized for accounts receivable shall be initially
REALIZAB L E reduced by adjustments which in the ordinary course of business
will reduce the amount recoverable from the customer.
V A L U E This is based on the established basic principle that assets shall not be carried at above
their recoverable amount.
In estimating the net realizable value of trade accounts receivable, the following deductions are made:
To record collection
To record sale within discount period
