Group Five GAAP VS. IFRS
US GAAP Codification Determination of Inventory Costs 330-10-30-9: Cost for inventory purposes may be determined under any one of several assumptions as to the flow of cost factors, such as first-in first-out (FIFO), average, and last-in first-out (LIFO). The major objective in selecting a method should be to choose the one which, under the circumstances, most clearly reflects periodic income.

May an entity elect LIFO method for inventory cost?
IAS 2 Inventories Cost formula 25 The cost of inventories, other than those dealt with in paragraph 23, shall be assigned by using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or weighted average cost formula. An entity shall use the same cost formula for all inventories having a similar nature and use to the entity. For inventories with a different nature or use, different cost formulas may be justified. Prohibition of LIFO as a cost formula IN13 The Standard does not permit the use of the lastin, first-out (LIFO) formula to measure the cost of inventories.

    Accountants use GAAP as a guide in the process of recording and reporting any professional financial data. It is a set of accounting standards that were developed by cooperation between the accounting profession and the Securities and Exchange Commission. There are various assumptions that guide the application of these principles with regard to presentation of financial statements. Firstly, the economic entity assumption asserts that financial records must be maintained separately. Such economic entities include but not limited to governments, religious institutions and social organizations (IASCF, 2007). Even in cases where different entities are combined in the process of reporting, each and every economic transaction must be recorded as a separate entity. The economic entities must also not include personal assets or liabilities. The monetary unit assumption is a discovery that some accounting records are not quantifiable. For instance, the introduction of a new product cannot be recorded on the basis of monetary units. It is therefore important that such events in a company do not appear in accounting records. There are various events in a company that may…
