Reporting warranties in financial statements
This memorandum is in response to your comment on my proposal for the
treatment of a contingency in our financial statements. You specifically
object to the proposed recognition of an expense and liability for
warranties. The purpose of this memorandum is to respond to your
objection.
Both the conservatism and matching principles apply to accounting for
warranties. Conservatism requires us to include an expense in this year’s
financial statements for costs that we may or may not pay in the future.
income measure would be incomplete if it did not match the cost of
fulfilling the warranty against revenues generated by offering the warranty.
This treatment would be in compliance with the matching principle.
Your comment also raised the objection that we don’t know what costs
reasonableness of repair costs. If the product is different from others, we
may have a basis for going with only a note disclosure. However, financial
statement recognition is a more effective way to get the information into
users’ hands. As a result, it is usually preferred, even if we are uncertain
about the amount.
