IFRS Taxonomy 2020 – Illustrative examples

IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts
Illustrative examples - example 17a

These examples accompany, but are not part of, the Standard.

Regulatory deferral account balances


Example 1—Illustrative presentation of financial statements

Paragraphs 20–25 of this Standard require an entity to present regulatory deferral account debit balances and credit balances and any related deferred tax asset (liability) and the net movement in those balances as separate line items in the statement of financial position and the statement(s) of profit or loss and other comprehensive income respectively. Sub-totals are drawn before the regulatory line items are presented. In addition, paragraph 26 requires an entity to present additional basic and diluted earnings per share, which are calculated by excluding the net movement in regulatory deferral account balances, when the entity presents earnings per share in accordance with IAS 33 Earnings per Share. Example 1 illustrates how these requirements might be met, but is not intended to illustrate all aspects of this Standard or IFRS more generally.

This aggregated presentation is permitted by paragraphs 24 and B11 of this Standard. An alternative disaggregated presentation is illustrated in Example 2.

Note: regulatory deferral account balances are not described as assets or liabilities for the purposes of this Standard. The sub-totals described as “Total assets” and “Total liabilities” are comparable to those that would be presented if the regulatory deferral account balances were not recognised. The difference between these two sub-totals represents the net balance of all regulatory deferral account balances recognised and any related deferred tax asset (liability) that arises as a result of recognising regulatory deferral account balances, which would otherwise be recognised within retained earnings or other components of equity.

Notes:

(1)

To simplify the example, it is assumed that all regulatory deferral account balances relate to activities that are carried out in wholly-owned subsidiaries and thus no amounts are attributable to non-controlling interests.

(2) The aggregated total that is presented for the net movement in regulatory deferral account balances related to profit or loss and the related deferred tax movement includes the net movement in regulatory deferral account balances of CU30,720 (20X6 – CU9,127) and the movement in the related deferred tax asset that is related to the recognition of regulatory deferral account balances, which is CU3,170 (20X6 – CU12,320). This aggregated presentation is permitted by paragraphs 24 and B12 of this Standard. An alternative disaggregated presentation is illustrated in Example 2.

For each type of rate-regulated activity, paragraph 33 requires an entity to present, for each class of regulatory deferral account balance, a reconciliation of the carrying amount at the beginning and the end of the period. This example illustrates how that requirement may be met for an entity with two types of rate-regulated activity (electricity distribution and gas distribution), but is not intended to illustrate all aspects of this Standard or IFRS more generally.

Notes:
(1) Construction costs consist of costs that are not permitted to be included in the cost of property, plant and equipment in accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment.
(2) Other regulatory accounts include regulatory deferral account debit balances that are individually immaterial.
(3) The net movement in the pension costs regulatory deferral account balance of CU7,140 (CU12,270 – CU5,130) relates to the remeasurement of the defined benefit pension plan, which is presented in other comprehensive income in accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits. In accordance with paragraph 22 of this Standard, the related movement in the regulatory deferral account balance is also presented in other comprehensive income.
(4) The recovery from, or refund to, customers of future income taxes through future rates is recognised as a regulatory deferral account balance. The company has recognised a deferred tax asset of CU12,710 (20X6 – CU9,540) arising from the recognition of regulatory deferral account balances and a corresponding regulatory deferral account credit balance of CU12,710 (20X6 – CU9,540). The deferred tax asset balance is presented within the total regulatory deferral account debit balances presented in the statement of financial position.
(5) The net movement of CU30,720 in the remaining regulatory deferral account balances is presented in the profit or loss section of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, net of the movement in the deferred tax asset related to the regulatory deferral account balances of CU3,170 [CU (8,474 – 6,360) + CU (4,236 – 3,180)]. The remaining net movement of CU30,720 consists of:
Decrease in regulatory deferral account debit balances(CU100,240 – CU102,330) (2,090)
Less: increase in pension cost regulatory deferral account debit balance presented in other comprehensive income(CU12,270 – CU5,130) (7,140)
(9,230)
Increase in regulatory deferral account credit balances(CU97,960 – CU76,470) (21,490)
Net movement in regulatory deferral account balances presented in profit or loss 30,720
