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.
Another point in favor of reporting the expense and liability now is that we
offered the warranty in order to achieve the reported sales. Therefore, our
income measure would be incomplete if it did not match the cost of
