AbstrakLaporan keuangan merupakan hal sangat penting bagi sebuah perusahaan. Laporan keuangan haruslah relevan dan disajikan dengan akurat, karena informasi-informasi yang terdapat pada laporan keuangan akan digunakan oleh pihak-pihak yang berkepentingan untuk pengambilan keputusan yang berkaitan dengan perusahaan tersebut. Tulisan ini membahas tentang bagaiman perbedaan laporan keuangan yang disusun berdasarkan konsep akuntansi biaya historis (historical cost accounting) dan berdasarkan General Price Level Accounting (GPLA). Berdasarkan literature review, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa laporan keuangan yang menggunakan metode General Price Level Accounting lebih interpretatif dan relevan, meskipun masih ada masalah tentang cara dan alat untuk menerapkan metode General Price Level Accounting.

A financial accounting established by a company is the financial accounting that is going on the basis of previous events with the stable prices assumption. The truth of the excess of costs such as historical cost on the real transaction can be tested and proved by objective evidences, so that the financial accounting formed on the basis of historical cost is believable to be audited well. In fact, the change of price always happens and moreover it is inclined to rise. In other word, there will be inflation. Related with the fact, the historical cost concept applied in the financial accounting is judged to give less information to make a decision. The objectives of the study are to describe the inflation of accounting treatment by using General Price Level Accounting (GPLA) and Current Cost Accounting (CCA) methods as an additional report rather than the conventional financial accounting as the main report, and to know the additional financial accounting. The methods used are General Price Level Accounting (GPLA) and Current Cost Accounting (CCA) methods. In conclusion, the inflation accounting as an additional information is very useful for the financial accounting users to make economics decision. Furthermore, it also benefits in order to maintain the capital as the first period so that the continuity of company’s activity runs well

Historical Cost Accounting

ABSTRACT We identify a setting in which firms are required to disclose discounted cash flow (DCF) estimates relating to the value of their primary assets. ASC 932 (formerly SFAS No. 69) has mandated DCF disclosures for proved oil and gas reserves since 1982, and these reserves constitute the primary assets of oil and gas royalty trusts. For a hand-collected sample of oil and gas royalty trusts, we find that (1) the mandatory DCF disclosures are incrementally value-relevant over historical cost accounting variables, (2) investors misprice royalty trust units because they underweight the disclosed DCF estimates when forecasting future distributions, and (3) media articles bringing attention to discrepancies between price and the disclosed DCF estimates are significant stock price catalysts. While our evidence indicates that mandatory DCF disclosures can be incrementally useful for security valuation, it also indicates that investors may overlook such information, potentially due to lack of attention and accounting expertise.

ABSTRACT: We develop a model to show that transparent accounting can worsen the asset substitution effect of debt. This negative effect can outweigh the usual positive effect of transparency. We demonstrate this point by comparing pure historical cost accounting to the conservatively skewed accounting regime of lower-of-cost-or-market (LCM). In a market with asymmetric information, the two regimes lead to different degrees of transparency. The more transparent LCM regime produces more efficient results for firms with lower debt levels, while the opaque rule of pure historical cost accounting is preferable for higher debt levels. We explore the implications of this result for the firm's optimal capital structure.

Historical Cost Accounting

ABSTRACT This paper examines banks' choice between fair-value and historical-cost accounting when reported accounting information is used in capital requirement regulation. We center our analysis on a key difference between fair-value and historical-cost accounting: the frequency with which asset value changes are reported. We show that the elasticity of banks' loan returns to aggregate lending is a critical determinant of the interaction between capital adequacy requirements and accounting choices. If lending returns are inelastic, then higher capital requirements reduce fair-value usage. By contrast, higher capital requirements encourage fair value if capital requirements are low and lending returns are sufficiently elastic. In equilibrium, banks may elect different accounting choices, and we find that mandating uniform adoption of historical cost (fair value) is desirable when capital requirements are loose (tight). Our study offers many other implications about fundamental links between accounting and prudential choices.

Historical Cost Accounting

In response to the ‘2011 Agenda Consultation’, the IASB launched in July 2013 a call for a new Discussion Paper on the ‘Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting’. This article aims to offer a contribution to the debate on the effectiveness of the theme of ‘Measurement’, by investigating the use of the current evaluation models in the literature and practice of Financial Reporting. The article proposes at first a historical survey both of the international debate on Fair Value Accounting vs. Historical Cost Accounting and of the Italian theories on the valuation. Later the paper proposes some considerations about the key questions related to Measurement and the possible policy implications of the main research finding, by conceptualising a ‘mixed’ system combining fair value Accounting and historical cost Accounting to try giving a more rational base to the financial reports.
