(c) Main terms that might be included in a partnership agreement:

Capital – The amount each partner will contribute to the business and how long it will be kept in the business.
Profit sharing ratio – How profits and losses will be shared amongst the partners.
Interest on capital – Details of the rate of interest, if any, that partners will be paid on their capital.
Partners salaries – How much, if anything, will be appropriated to partners as salaries.
Withdrawals on account of profit – How much, if anything, partners will be allowed to withdraw from the business during the
year.
Guaranteed minimum profit share – How much of the profit a partner is guaranteed.
Interest on drawings – The notional rate that will be applied to any drawings made by a partner during the year.
Marking scheme: 1 mark for identifying and explaining a term up to a total of 4 marks.

3 (a) The purpose of a conceptual framework is to set out the concepts that underlie the preparation and presentation of financial
statements for external users. It assists with the development of future accounting standards and reduces the basis for
alternative accounting treatments by establishing the principles that should be followed in preparing financial information.
It can also assist preparers and auditors of financial information in dealing with topics that are not subject to an accounting
standard.
A conceptual framework should prevent the accountancy profession from establishing conflicting accounting rules and
practices as standards are developed following the principles set out within the framework.
Marking scheme: Up to 3 marks.

(b) (i) Relevance

Information is considered to be relevant if it has the ability to influence the economic decisions of users and is provided
in time to influence those decisions
(ii) Reliability
Information is reliable if:
(a) it can be depended upon by users to represent faithfully what it either purports to represent or is reasonably
expected to represent and therefore reflects the substance of the transactions and other events that have taken
place.
(b) it is free from deliberate or systematic bias and material error and is complete; and
(c) in its preparation under conditions of uncertainty, a degree of caution has been applied in exercising the necessary
judgements.
(iii) Comparability
Information is comparable if it enables users to determine and evaluate similarities in, and differences between, the
nature and effects of transactions and other events over time and across different businesses.
(iv) Understandability
Information is understandable if its significance can be appreciated by users that have a reasonable knowledge of
business and economic activities and accounting and a willingness to study with reasonable diligence the information
provided.
Marking scheme: ½ a mark for identifying and up to 1·5 marks for explaining the characteristic. Maximum of 8 marks.

(c) The arguments for having accounting standards

Standards oblige companies to disclose the accounting policies they have used in the preparation of accounts. This should
help the users of accounts better understand the information presented.

17
 Accounting standards require companies to disclose information in the financial statements which they might not want to
disclose if the standard did not exist.
Accounting standards reduce the number of choices in the method used to prepare financial statements and therefore they
should reduce the risk of creative accounting. This should help the users of financial statements to compare the financial
performance of different entities.
Accounting standards provide a focal point in the accounting profession for discussion about accounting practice.
Accounting standards should increase the credibility of financial statements with the users by improving the amount of
uniformity of accounting treatment between companies.
Marking scheme: 1 mark for each relevant point up to 5 marks.

(d) It might be acceptable to depart from accounting standards if the entity makes the following disclosures:
(i) The management have concluded that the financial statements present fairly the entity’s financial position, financial
performance and cash flows;
(ii) that it has complied with applicable standards, except that it has departed from a particular requirement to achieve a
fair presentation;
(iii) the title of the standards from which the entity has departed, the nature of the departure, including the treatment that
the standard would require, the reason why that treatment would be so misleading in the circumstances that it would
conflict with the objective of financial statements set out in the Framework, and the treatment adopted; and
(iv) for each period presented, the financial effect of the departure on each item in the financial statements that would have
been reported in complying with the requirement.
Marking scheme: 1 mark for identifying each relevant comment up to 4 marks.
