Introduction
This chapter considers how to account for inventory in the financial
statements, before moving on to consider how it is valued in accordance
with IAS 2 Inventories.
Much of the content of this chapter is new. However, it is an important
foundation for your future ACCA studies, in particular for both Financial
Reporting and Strategic Business Reporting.

Inventory in the financial statements
Inventory is only recorded in the ledger accounts at the end of the accounting
period. During the year the relevant sales and purchases are recorded but the
increase and decrease in inventory assets is ignored. The movement in
inventory is only considered on an annual basis. In this way a business can
calculate exactly how much inventory it has used in the year to calculate cost of
sales.
