Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Comprehensive financial and accounting framework for asset retirement obligations

What is Asset Retirement Obligation ?

Accounting Framework Canadian Requirements ARO Components Financial Definition & Legal Framework

Accounting Framework

Asset Retirement Obligations (AROs) represent legally binding financial liabilities associated with the future retirement of tangible long-lived assets. Under ASC 410-20 (US GAAP) and LAS 37/IFRIC 1 (IFRS), companies must recognize ARO liabilities when they have a legal obligation to perform asset retirement activities.

ASC 410-20 (US GAAP)

>Initial measurement at fair value.
>Present value of future cash flows.
>Credit-adjusted risk-free rate.
>Asset retirement cost capitalization

IFRS (AS 37/IFRIC 1)

>Probable outflow of resources.
>Reliable estimate possible.
>Best estimate of expenditure.
>Time value of money consideration.

A Critical Recognition Criteria: ARO must be recognized when (1) legal obligation exists. (2) ebligation
results from past events and (3) retirement costs can be reasonably estimated.
