###$excel"skills$com
This template enables users to compile comprehensive financial statements based on International Financial Reporting
Standards for small & medium enterprises (IFRS for SME's) from an trial balance regardless of the structure of the
accounts that are included in the trial balance! The financial statements are compiled b lin"ing each account in the trial
balance to a pre#defined financial statement reporting class code and all the amounts that are included on the financial
statements are automaticall calculated based on the lin"ed class codes! The template can also easil be rolled for$ard or
bac" b simpl changing the ear value in a single input cell!
Disclaimer: The aim of this template is to assist users in compiling a standard set of financial statements and we can
therefore not guarantee that all the financial statement disclosures that are required for the particular business will be
accommodated in the template. The user therefore remains solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy and
completeness of financial statement disclosure.
Set"up # enter all the relevant business details on this sheet and specif the financial ear end month and the current
financial reporting period! The reporting period that is specified determines $hich annual periods $ill be included in the
current and comparative periods on the financial statements!
%lasses # this sheet contains all the pre#defined financial statement reporting classes that should be used to lin" the
accounts on the trial balance to the calculations on the financial statements! The classes are provided in order to simplif
the lin"ing of accounts and are not lin"ed to the financial statements! 6hanges that are made to the pre#defined classes
on this sheet $ill therefore have no effect on the financial statement calculations!
TB # a complete trial balance for each annual period should be included on this sheet and each account in the trial
balance should be lin"ed to the appropriate financial statement reporting class b entering or coping the appropriate
class code into column -! The amounts that are included on the financial statements are automaticall updated based on
the classes that are specified on this sheet!
Fin&nfo # this sheet contains financial statement information that is incorporated in the financial statements but not derived
from the trial balance! 7sers are therefore re&uired to enter the appropriate values for each annual period that is included
in the template! The values that are specified on this sheet are automaticall included on the financial statements based
on the pre#defined code that is included in column -!
AFS # this sheet includes a complete set of financial statements $hich is automaticall compiled based on the current
reporting period that is selected on the Set#up sheet' the account balances that are included on the T8 sheet and the
financial information that is included on the FinInfo sheet! 9o user input is re&uired on this sheet but users can customi:e
the standard financial statements based on their o$n re&uirements if necessar!
TB&mport # the calculations on this sheet enables users to revie$ the se&uence of trial balance accounts before coping
the account balances to the T8 sheet! The se&uence of accounts can be amended until no errors are reflected and the
calculations in column E round all trial balance amounts to the nearest integer value thereb ensuring that all the totals on
the financial statements are accurate!
The input cells that contain a ello$ cell bac"ground on the Set#up sheet need to be completed in order to include our
business details on the financial statements! The business name is included on all the financial statement page headings
and the business registration number is included on the inde( page (the first page of the financial statements)!
The business address and countr are included in the first note to the financial statements and the currenc smbol that is
specified in cell 8;< is included belo$ the ear on a number of pages of the financial statements! The ear end month in
cell 8;= is used to determine the appropriate ear end date and previous ear end date $hich are included in a number of
notes to the financial statements!
The current reporting ear needs to be entered in cell 8;1 and determines $hich annual period is used as the current
reporting period in the financial statements! The comparative ear is also determined based on the input in this cell and all
the values that are included on the T8 sheet and the FinInfo sheet are included in the automated financial statement
calculations based on the ear that is entered in this cell!
Note: You can therefore automatically roll the financial statements forward or back by simply changing the year that has
been entered in cell B1 on the !et"up sheet. #ll the calculations on the financial statements will be updated automatically
after editing the $alue in this cell.

The reporting date in cell 8;> is determined based on the ear end period that is specified in cell 8;< and the current
financial reporting ear that is specified in cell 8;=! This date is used in the headings of the financial statements and in
multiple notes!
The total number of pages that is entered in cell 8</ is onl used to determine the total number of pages that needs to be
included in the table of contents on the financial statements (on the first page in cell I;4)! The default value is ;< but ma
need to be changed after customi:ing the financial statements and determining the total number of pages that $ill be
printed!
- complete trial balance should be copied or entered on the T8 sheet for each annual reporting period that needs to be
included in the financial statements! -ll the account numbers and account descriptions that form part of the trial balance
need to be copied or entered into column 8 and 6 on the T8 sheet and the appropriate account balances need to be
entered into the columns from column ? on$ards!
Each account then needs to be lin"ed to one of the pre#defined financial statement reporting classes that are listed on the
6lasses sheet! The template $ill contain default data on the T8 sheet $hen ou use it for the first time but ou can replace
all the account numbers and descriptions $ith our o$n and clear all the class codes in column - before ou commence
$ith the e(ercise of lin"ing our accounts to the appropriate pre#defined financial statement reporting classes!
-fter clearing all the class codes from column -' ou need to refer to the 6lasses sheet in order to determine $hich
accounts need to be lin"ed to $hich financial statement reporting classes! 9ote that ou do not need to use all the default
classes if the are not re&uired but it is imperative that each account is lin"ed to a class! -fter completing the lin"ing
e(ercise' there should therefore be no blan" values in column -!
Note: 'e ha$e included conditional formatting in column # in order to highlight all the cells that ha$e not been linked to
one of the pre"defined reporting classes in red. If you therefore notice that a cell has been highlighted in red( it either
means that the account is not linked to a class at all or that the account is not linked to a $alid class. #fter correcting the
input in column #( the red highlighting will be remo$ed automatically.
Note: #ll the accounts that are included in your trial balance should be entered in a continuous cell range on the TB sheet
" there should not be any blank rows or columns in between account numbers or financial periods otherwise all the
accounts or periods may not be included in the financial statement calculations and your balance sheet may therefore not
balance)
*e have also included totals above the column headings $hich $ill indicate if the sum of the account balances for an
annual period does not e&ual nil! If the total of all the account balances in a trial balance does not e&ual nil' it means that
the financial statements $ill not be accurate and that the balance sheet $ill probabl not balance! )ou should therefore
al$as ensure that the trial balance for each annual period adds up to a nil value!
*hen compiling financial statements for a ne$ business' ou onl need to include the account balances of the current
financial reporting period on the T8 sheet! -ll the amounts for the comparative financial ear on the financial statements
$ill be nil!
The T8 sheet contains a number of default ears # ou can therefore change the column heading in column ? to the
appropriate current financial ear and change all the subse&uent columns to the appropriate subse&uent ears! -lso
remember to enter the correct current financial reporting period in cell 8;1 on the Set#up sheet!
*hen compiling financial statements for an e(isting business' ou need to include the trial balances of at least the last t$o
financial ears on the T8 sheet but ou $ill also need to include the balance sheet balances of a third ear so that the

Trial balance check * import
, Sort the data on the T8 sheet in an ascending order based on the account number in column 8!
, Sort the data on the trial balance e(port file in an ascending order based on the account number column!
*e therefore recommend that users include the complete trial balances of at least three financial ears on the T8 sheet
$hen using the template to compile financial statements for e(isting businesses! If ou onl include the balance sheet of
the third financial ear (the ear prior to the comparative financial period)' it is absolutel essential that the trial balance still
balances and that the retained earnings balance is calculated accuratel' other$ise our financial statements for the
comparative ear ma not be accurate!
The T8 sheet contains four financial periods b default and in most instances' these financial periods $ill represent the
financial periods that are re&uired for e(isting businesses! If ou are compiling financial statements for previous periods'
ou ma ho$ever need to change the column headings accordingl (start $ith the ear before the comparative period in
column ?)! -lso remember to enter the correct current financial reporting period in cell 8;1 on the Set#up sheet so that the
financial statements are compiled for the correct period@
-fter using the template to compile our first set of financial statements' ou can add subse&uent financial periods b
simpl coping the last column on the T8 sheet to the ne(t available column' changing the column heading to the ne(t
financial period and clearing all the account balances in the ne$ column ($e recommend replacing the e(isting values $ith
nil values before entering or coping the appropriate account balances into the ne$ column)!
Note: The same procedure can be followed to also add the new financial period to the +inInfo sheet but before you
replace all the $alues in the new column with nil $alues( note that some of these $alues will need to remain unchanged for
the ne&t financial period.
Note: #ll the trial balance data on the TB sheet should form part of a continuous cell range and you should therefore not
include any blank rows or columns between rows or columns that contain data otherwise the financial statement
calculations will not be accurate.
If ou use a trail balance e(port file in order to compile financial statements' the trial balance e(port $ill have to be
converted so that the account numbers are in the e(act same se&uence as the accounts on the T8 sheet before ou $ill
be able to cop the balances onto the T8 sheet! This is an absolute necessit in order to ensure that the correct account
balances are included ne(t to the correct account number!
9e$ accounts ma also have been added during the current financial period $hich ma not be included in the previous
trial balance on the T8 sheet! These accounts therefore need to be identified and inserted in the correct ro$ position
before the account balances can be copied! This could be &uite a time consuming e(ercise and $e have therefore created
the T8Import sheet to assist users in simplifing this e(ercise!
The follo$ing steps need to be completed in order to ensure that the trial balance for the ne$ financial period is correctl
included on the T8 sheet5
, 6op the account number' account description and account balance from the e(port file and paste the data into column
- to 6 on the T8Import sheet (replace the e(isting data on this sheet)!
, 6op cells ?2 and E2 and paste these cells into all the ro$s in column ? and E that contain account numbers! 9ote that
these t$o cells contain formulas and formatting that $ill assist ou in identifing ne$ accounts or changes that need to be
made to the se&uence of the accounts in the e(port file!
, Revie$ the contents in column ? # a ro$ that contains a green Ao"A cell is in the correct se&uence but if an AerrorA is
displaed in orange' it means that the se&uence of accounts on the T8Import sheet is not the same as the accounts on
the T8 sheet!
, 6ompare the contents of all the ro$s that contain errors b comparing the account se&uence on the T8Import sheet $ith
the account se&uence on the T8 sheet!
, *here an account is included on the T8Import sheet but not on the T8 sheet' insert a ne$ ro$ on the T8 sheet' cop
the account number and description into column 8 and 6 and enter a nil value into all the columns that relate to previous
financial periods! -fter completing these steps' the error in the particular ro$ $ill automaticall be removed from the
T8Import sheet!
, *here an account is included on the T8 sheet but not on the T8Import sheet' insert a ne$ ro$ on the T8Import sheet'

, Ensure that the total of the amounts in column E on the T8Import sheet is nil # the total calculation is included in the ro$
above the column headings! If the total is not nil' the difference $ill be reflected in red in the cell above the column
headings $ith an AerrorA message ne(t to it! 9ote that the difference ma be attributable to rounding $hich is covered in
the ne(t section of these instructions!
, If the column E total is not nil and the difference cannot be attributable to rounding' revie$ our trial balance e(port and
ma"e sure that the total of the e(port file is in fact nil! -lso revie$ the T8Import sheet and ensure that all the accounts on
the trial balance e(port have been added to this sheet!
, Rounding errors can be corrected b amending the trial balance amounts of selected accounts in column 6! *hen the
red cell bac"ground is removed from the total calculation and the AerrorA te(t is replaced b an Ao"A message' it means that
the trial balance has been corrected!
, The amounts in column E can no$ be copied and pasted as values in the appropriate column (for the ne$ period) on
the T8 sheet! -fter completing this step' the trial balance has successfull been imported into the template!
Rounding can have a significant impact on financial statements because the amounts that are displaed on the financial
statements ma not al$as add up to the totals that are displaed! Even the most insignificant of errors could result in
financial statements appearing to be inaccurate and as a conse&uence also result in the value of the financial information
that is included in the financial statements being &uestioned!
6hec"ing all the calculations in financial statements and ma"ing the appropriate adBustments could be &uite a time
consuming and cumbersome approach and $e therefore recommend ma"ing the re&uired adBustments on a trial balance
level instead! This approach $ill ensure that the calculations that are included in the financial statements are al$as
accurate and negate the need to go through the entire cumbersome (manual) calculation e(ercise!
The problem $ith rounding in financial statement terms is that a trial balance tpicall includes t$o decimal values $hile
financial statements are tpicall compiled to the nearest integer value! *hen t$o amounts that contain decimal values
are rounded and added' the result is not necessaril the same as the rounded value of the total but if the decimal values
are rounded to the nearest integer value and then added' the total that is calculated is guaranteed to be accurate!
This approach is follo$ed in the calculations in column E on the T8Import sheet in that the trial balance amounts in
column 6 are rounded to the nearest integer value in column E! If ou therefore use the T8Import sheet to round all the
amounts on the trial balance to the nearest integer values before correcting an rounding differences that ma e(ist and
coping & pasting the values onto the T8 sheet' our financial statements are guaranteed to be accurate! *e therefore
recommend al$as using the T8Import sheet before including the appropriate trial balance amounts for a ne$ financial
period on the T8 sheet!
The FinInfo sheet contains the financial information that needs to be included in our standard financial statements but can
tpicall not be derived from the amounts on a trail balance! These values therefore need to be entered for each financial
period that is included in the financial statements and for $hich a trial balance is therefore included on the T8 sheet!
In terms of ne$ and e(isting businesses and the addition of ne$ columns' the same procedure that needs to be follo$ed
in order to add ne$ columns to the T8 sheet needs to be completed for the FinInfo sheet! Refer to the Trial 8alance
section of the instructions for guidance on ho$ to amend the default columns and ho$ to add ne$ columns to this sheet!
Note: !ome of the financial information that is listed on the +inInfo sheet may not be applicable to all businesses but we
recommend that you retain all the data on this sheet and that you simply enter nil $alues for the items that are not
applicable. -o not therefore delete any of these items as you may need some of them in future.

Annual Financial Statements
.ustomi/ing the standard financial statements
The values on the FinInfo sheet $ill have no bearing on $hether the financial statements balance or not # this aspect of
the financial statements is entirel determined b the account balances that are included on the T8 sheet! The values on
the FinInfo sheet are mainl used to provide additional disclosures that ma be re&uired and in some instances to include
amounts that are re&uired to be disclosed but tpicall do not get allocated to separate accounts in a general ledger (and
therefore trial balance)!
-ll the values on the FinInfo sheet are included on the financial statements based on the code that is included in column -
(note that all the codes start $ith an AFA)! It is therefore imperative that ou do not delete an of the pre#defined codes on
this sheet!
Note: 'e are not going to co$er each indi$idual item on the +inInfo sheet in these instructions but you can trace the codes
in column # to column # on the #+! sheet in order to see where the information is included in the financial statements.
Note that all the codes for the financial information that originates from the +inInfo sheet are displayed in orange on the
#+! sheet.
The annual financial statements are included on the -FS sheet! -ll the amounts that are included in the financial
statements are calculated from the trial balance that is included on the T8 sheet and the additional financial information
that is included on the FinInfo sheet based on the reporting class codes that are included in column - on the -FS sheet! It
is therefore imperative that ou do not delete these codes (this column does not form part of the printed pages)!
The codes that are included in column - on the -FS sheet can be used to trace the appropriate amounts bac" to the
source sheet! 6odes that are displaed in orange te(t can be found on the FinInfo sheet (all these codes begin $ith a AFA)
and codes that are displaed in green te(t can be found on the T8 sheet (all these codes begin $ith either an AIA for
income statement or a A8A for balance sheet)!
Note: In some instances( multiple accounts on the Trial Balance may be linked to the same financial reporting class code.
'e recommend that you filter the TB sheet based on the appropriate code by using the filter feature in the column heading
row in column # on the TB sheet. The totals that are displayed abo$e the column headings are calculated by including
only filtered data and should therefore agree to the appropriate amount on the financial statements. 'here a reporting
class consist of sub"codes( you will need to select all the codes that form part of the main code when filtering data.
Note: #ll the financial statement reporting class codes are pre"defined " you should therefore not amend any of these
codes because this will result in an amendment in the appropriate calculation which may lead to inaccuracies in the
financial statement calculations.
The standard financial statements on the -FS sheet do not re&uire an user input but some amendments ma be re&uired
in order to customi:e the standard financial statements for our business! For e(ample' some of the notes to the financial
statements ma not be applicable to our business and the note numbers that are included in the ello$ input cells ne(t to
the heading of the retained notes therefore ma need to be amended!
Note: 'e don0t recommend deleting any of the contents on the #+! sheet because you will not be able to reco$er the data
and some of the data may also affect other calculations on this sheet. If you therefore don0t want to include any of the
notes in your $ersion of the financial statements( we recommend hiding the appropriate rows instead of deleting them.
This will ensure that none of the other calculations are affected.
-fter lin"ing our trial balance to the reporting class codes on the T8 sheet and entering all the re&uired values on the
FinInfo sheet' $e recommend that ou revie$ the standard financial statements on the -FS sheet! )ou can then hide all
the content that is not applicable to our business and change the note numbers ne(t to the note headings accordingl! -s
$e mentioned before' ou should not delete an of the data on the -FS sheet!

It is imperative that ou read through all the contents that are included on the -FS sheet in order to determine $hether all
the standard information is applicable to our business! This is especiall necessar for the notes on the accounting
policies that have been applied in compiling the financial statements because these policies ma ver $ell differ bet$een

It is practicall impossible to include financial statement information that $ill be suitable to all tpes of businesses in a

standard financial statementsC instead $e recommend that ou contact our accountant in order to assist ou in ensuring
that all the re&uired disclosures are added to the template!
If ou need to add a ne$ reporting class to the template that is based on information that is included in the trial balance'
ou can add the appropriate ro$(s) to the -FS sheet b inserting the re&uired number of ne$ ro$s' entering a ne$ class
code in column - and coping the T8 formulas $hich are included at the bottom of the -FS sheet into the current and
comparative financial period columns! The ne$ class code then also needs to be lin"ed to the appropriate accounts on the
T8 sheet in order to update the relevant calculation!
)ou can also include ne$ financial information items on the -FS sheet b follo$ing the same approach and simpl
coping the FI9I9F% formulas $hich are included at the bottom of the -FS sheet! The ne$ codes also then need to be
lin"ed to the appropriate ne$ items on the FinInfo sheet in order to update the relevant calculations!
Note: 'hen adding new codes to the TB or +inInfo sheets( it is imperati$e that the calculations be integrated into the
e&isting income statement or balance sheet and cash flow calculations in order to ensure that all the financial statement
calculations remain accurate. -ue care should therefore be taken when customi/ing the standard financial statements
because errors may result in inaccurate financial statement info.
In this section of the instructions' $e provide guidance on the information that is included in each section of the financial
statements on the -FS sheet! %ne of the most important points to note is that the current and comparative periods are

Note: #dditional e&pense groups can be created by inserting a new row( copying the formulas in column 2 and I and
entering a new reporting class code in column #. The new code should then be used to link indi$idual e&pense accounts

The retained earnings balances at the start of each financial ear are calculated from the trial balance based on the
account(s) that are lin"ed to the A8#RETA reporting code! If the retained earnings balance in the current reporting ear is
not e&ual to the closing balance of the comparative ear or the retained earnings balance in the comparative ear is not
e&ual to the balance in the ear before that ear' the difference $ill be highlighted in orange in column E or F and the user
$ill need to revie$ the trial balance in order to determine $h the imbalance occurred!
Most of the amounts that are included on the balance sheet are calculated in the notes to the financial statements! The
onl e(ceptions are the interest paable' dividends paable and the provision for ta(ation $hich are all calculated on the
balance sheet based on the reporting codes that are included in column -! The retained earnings amounts are calculated
on the income statement!
Note: The balance sheet includes three years but only the current and comparati$e years are included in the printed
pages. The third year is only included in order to facilitate accurate cash flow calculations for the comparati$e financial
year.
Note: If the balance sheet is not in balance( the appropriate total assets and total liabilities * equity totals will be
highlighted in orange. 'e suggest that users re$iew the guidance in the Troubleshooting section in order to resol$e any
imbalances that may ha$e occurred.
The retained earnings calculations are based on the amounts that are included on the income statement and the share
capital calculations are based on the amounts that are calculated in note ;2!
The profit G (loss) for the ear is calculated in the income statement $hile the income ta( and finance costs are also
calculated in the income statement and are added bac" because the amounts that have been paid are included separatel
on the cash flo$ statement (refer to ro$s ;=2 and ;=1)!
The dividends received amounts are calculated in note = and deducted in the operating cash flo$ calculation because the
amounts are included separatel under the cash flo$ from investing activities section of the cash flo$ statement!
?epreciation' amortisation and fair value adBustments G impairment losses are calculated in notes > and D! The movement

are therefore added bac" in the operating cash flo$ calculation!
Hains G (Fosses) on the sale of e&uipment are added bac" in the operating cash flo$ calculation because the proceeds
from the sale of e&uipment is included under the cash flo$ from investing activities section! Hains on the sale of
e&uipment are calculated in note = and losses are calculated in note 1!
*or"ing capital movements are calculated on the balance sheet # note that a balance sheet for . financial ears is
re&uired in order to calculate these amounts accuratel! If ou therefore onl include a trial balance for < financial ears in
the template' the entire closing balances of these $or"ing capital items $ill be included in the cash flo$ statement for the

The interest and income ta( paid amounts are calculated b deducting the opening balances and income statement
charges from the closing balances of the respective income ta( and interest paable amounts! The net result is that onl
the interest and income ta( amounts that have actuall been paid during the financial period are included in the cash flo$
statement!

The purchases of e&uipment amounts are calculated b deducting the ne$ finance leases amounts from the additions to
propert' plant & e&uipment that is calculated in note >! The ne$ finance leases amounts need to be specified as part of
the financial info on the FinInfo sheet!
The purchases of intangible assets and investments are calculated in note D and note ;/ respectivel! -s $e mentioned

The proceeds from the issuance of shares amounts are calculated in note ;2! The proceeds from ne$ loans need to be
specified on the FinInfo sheet and the repament of loan amounts are calculated based on the balance sheet movement
of long term and short term loans and the proceeds from ne$ loans!
The repament of finance leases amounts are calculated based on the balance sheet movement of the long term and
short term finance lease liabilities and the ne$ finance leases amounts that are specified on the FinInfo sheet! 9e$
finance lease amounts are therefore removed from the additions to propert' plant & e&uipment and also removed from
the finance lease liabilities in order to ensure that onl the actual cash repaments of finance leases are included in the
cash flo$ statement!
The dividends paid amounts are calculated b deducting the opening balance and income statement charges for dividends
from the closing balance of dividends paable! The net result is that onl dividends that have actuall been paid during the
financial period are included in the cash flo$ statement!
The cash e&uivalents at the beginning of the ear are calculated based on the balance sheet movements of the cash &
cash e&uivalents and ban" overdraft lines! This is also an important point to note in terms of the closing cash balance # the
closing balance should agree to the cash & cash e&uivalents note (note ;=) and includes the ban" overdraft balance@
Note: If the closing cash equi$alents balances on the cash flow statement do not agree to the balances that are calculated
in note 13( an error will be displayed in column 4. This error is probably a result of an error with the retained earnings
balances but could also be attributed to changes that the user has made to the cash flow statement. 'e recommend that
you check the accuracy of all the changes that ha$e been made to the template in order to resol$e the error.
Note: # retained earnings imbalance can also result in an error on the cash flow statement. This will only occur if the
retained earnings balance at the beginning of the period plus the net profit or loss for the period does not equal the
retained earnings balance at the end of the period. If this is the case( it probably means that an amount has been
allocated to the retained earnings account that should not ha$e been. The retained earnings account should therefore be
in$estigated and any incorrect allocations should be reallocated to the correct account.
This section deals $ith all the default notes that have been added to the financial statements! It is imperative that users
revie$ all the default notes in order to ensure that all the information that is included in the default notes are applicable to
their businesses! 7sers ma also need to add additional disclosure to this section of the financial statements and it is
imperative that an changes that are made are incorporated correctl $ithin the e(isting template structure' other$ise the

Note: If you delete some of the default notes that ha$e been included in the standard financial statements( you will need to

Note: 'hene$er you insert new rows in a note( you should always ensure that you also re$iew and ad7ust the formula in
the total row. If the formula does not include all the rele$ant items( your balance sheet will not balance.
The default note includes three other income items but ou can add additional items if re&uired b inserting the re&uired

The total of the finance costs note is calculated based on all the accounts that are lin"ed to the AI#FI9A reporting class! The
interest on finance leases should be entered on the FinInfo sheet and this amount is deducted from the total in order to
calculate the interest on loans and overdraft amounts! The reason for including the finance lease interest on the FinInfo
sheet is that man entities do not allocate lease interest to separate accounts!
-ll the e(pense items that re&uire separate disclosure should be included under this note! The cost of sales amount is
calculated in the income statement but the reporting codes for all other e(pense items should be included in column - and
the formulas should be copied from one of the e(isting ro$s!
Note: The reporting codes for any additional items that you may want to add should be consistent with the codes that are
used to include the e&pense categories on the income statement. !imply add additional letters to the default e&pense
category codes in order to facilitate including the indi$idual items under this note.
%&ample: In our standard financial statements( the account for foreign e&change losses is included under the 5ther
%&penses category on the income statement. This e&pense category has a default code of 8I"5T98 and we ha$e therefore
used the code 8I"5T99:8 as the reporting code for foreign e&change losses. This means that the e&pense will be included
in the income statement under 5ther %&penses but can also be included under the 6rofit before ta& note by using the full
reporting class code.

Income Ta& %&pense
6roperty( 6lant * %quipment
The total of the income ta( e(pense note is calculated based on all the accounts that are lin"ed to the AI#T-JA reporting
class! The default ta( charges for the ear are calculated in the ?eferred Ta( note and these amounts are deducted from
the total in order to calculate the current ta(ation amounts! The income ta( percentages that are included belo$ these
calculations need to be specified on the FinInfo sheet!
The propert' plant & e&uipment note includes three default categories of assets namel land & buildings' plant &
e&uipment and furniture & fittings! Each of these categories is included in a separate column and the amounts in the Total
column are the sum of these three columns! The cost and accumulated depreciation of these categories are also
displaed separatel!
The opening and closing costs of the three categories are calculated based on the accounts on the trial balance that have
been lin"ed to the A8#33E6A reporting code but a number $hich refers to the appropriate asset class also needs to be
included in the code! -ll accounts that are lin"ed to code A8#33E6;A are included in the first column' accounts lin"ed to
code A8#33E6<A are included in the second column and accounts that are lin"ed to A8#33E6.A are included in the third
column!
The cost of assets that have been disposed of during the period should be entered on the FinInfo sheet ne(t to the AF#
33E?6;A' AF#33E?6<A and AF#33E?6.A codes and the amounts are included in the note on the same basis as
described in the previous paragraph!
The opening and closing balances and the cost of disposals are therefore determined based on formulas and the
additions line in the note is therefore simpl the balancing figure! If ou therefore don't enter our disposals amounts
correctl' the additions for the particular asset class $ill also not be accurate!
Note: The descriptions of the three asset categories can be amended by changing the te&t in the note but the same
default reporting codes need to be used in order to link the appropriate accounts in the trial balance to the financial
statements.
Note: If you only require one asset category( you can simply use the last ;8B"66%.<8 and 8+"66%-.<8= reporting codes in
order to only use the calculations in the third column. The calculations in the other columns will include /ero amounts
because no accounts will ha$e been linked to these reporting codes but you can clear the contents of these columns if you
don0t want to include them in the financial statements.
The accumulated depreciation amounts are calculated in much the same $a! The opening and closing balances are
determined based on the accounts on the trial balance that are lin"ed to the A8#33E?;A' A8#33E?<A and A8#33E?.A
reporting codes! The accumulated depreciation relating to the disposal of assets needs to be entered on the FinInfo sheet
ne(t to the AF#33E??;A' AF#33E??<A and AF#33E??.A reporting codes!
The accumulated depreciation section of the note also includes an additional line for the impairment of assets! -n
impairment losses relating to the three asset categories should be entered on the FinInfo sheet ne(t to the AF#33EI;A' AF#
33EI<A and AF#33EI.A reporting codes!
The depreciation charge for the period relating to each asset categor is the balancing figure in the note and if ou
therefore do not enter the disposal and impairment amounts correctl' the depreciation amounts $ill also be inaccurate!
*e therefore recommend that ou compare the calculated depreciation amounts to the appropriate balances of the
depreciation e(pense accounts on the trial balance!
The carring amounts of the assets that are held under finance leases are included belo$ the depreciation section and
should be entered on the FinInfo sheet ne(t to the AF#33EF-A reporting code!

;8B>%!T18( 8B">%!T?8( etc.= and enter the new codes in column # ne&t to each of the lines that you want to include. The
appropriate accounts on the trial balance should then be linked to these codes and the formulas for the e&isting
in$estment should be copied to the new in$estment lines. You will also need to insert a Total calculation and link this
calculation to the In$estments totals on the balance sheet.
The opening and closing balances for deferred ta( in the Total column are calculated based on the accounts on the trial
balance that have been allocated to the A8#?T-JA reporting code! The movement for the ear in the same column is then
calculated b simpl deducting the opening balance from the closing balance!
The default deferred ta( note includes three deferred ta( categories in three separate columns! The opening and closing
balances in the first column are calculated based on the amounts that are entered ne(t to the AF#?T-J;A reporting code

statement does not agree to the cash & cash e&uivalents balance that is calculated in note ;=! This could be the result of
