MEASURING 
AND 
REPORTING 
FINANCIAL 
POSITION
INTRODUCTION
We 
saw 
in 
Chapter 1 
that 
accounting 
has 
two 
distinct 
strands: 
financial 
accounting 
and 
management 
accounting. 
This 
chapter, 
along 
with 
Chapters 3 
to 
6, 
examines 
the 
three 
major 
financial 
statements 
that 
form 
the 
core 
of 
financial 
accounting. 
We 
start 
by 
taking 
an 
overview 
of 
these 
statements 
to 
see 
how 
each 
contributes 
towards 
an 
assessment 
of 
the 
overall 
financial 
position 
and 
performance 
of 
a 
business.
Following 
this 
overview, 
we 
begin 
a 
more 
detailed 
examination 
by 
turning 
our 
attention 
towards 
one 
of 
these 
financial 
statements: 
the 
statement 
of 
financial 
position. 
We 
identify 
the 
key 
elements 
of 
this 
statement 
and 
consider 
the 
interrelationships 
between 
them. 
We 
also 
consider 
the 
main 
accounting 
conventions, 
or 
rules, 
to 
be 
followed 
when 
preparing 
the 
statement 
of 
financial 
position.
Learning 
outcomes

you 
have 
completed 
this 
chapter,

able

■ 
explain 
the 
nature 
and 
purpose 
of 
the 
three 
major 
financial 
statements;
■ 
prepare 
a 
simple 
statement 
of 
financial 
position 
and 
interpret 
the 
information 
that 
it 
contains;
■ 
discuss 
the 
accounting 
conventions 
underpinning 
the 
statement 
of 
financial 
position; 
and
■ 
discuss 
the 
uses 
and 
limitations 
of 
the 
statement 
of 
financial 
position 
for 
decision-making 
purposes.
