Abstract

The purpose of the article is to disclose the types of long-term debt liabilities, which need to be evaluated at the balance sheet date at their present value, to substantiate the procedure for calculating the present value and reflecting of accounting differences in accounting system. The requirements of national accounting standards regarding the display of long-term receivables and liabilities in accounting and reporting are discussed in the article. The methods of selecting the interest rates and the procedure of calculating their present value are described. It is proved that considering the national accounting standards there is uncertainty and multivariation concerning discount rates and the procedure of calculating the present value of long-term liabilities and distribution of discount variances. Due to this fact, the decision on the application of discount rates and the procedure of calculating the present value are made by accounting entities on their own based on the professional judgment of an accountant. It is proved that it is advisable to calculate the present value of long-term liabilities on the first balance sheet date after their occurrence using a quarterly period. It is argued that during the transferring long-term liabilities to current ones, discount variances should be written off at the same time. It is concluded that the discount variances should be accounted with applying the accounts of other income and expenses. An example of calculating the present value of long-term liabilities and accounting entries to it are also given. It is determined that the reflection of the present value of long-term liabilities in the accounting and reporting, that arose in connection with the acquisition of assets, does not affect their initial and further assessment. It is proposed to form and approve at the state level the Guidelines for determining the present value of long-term liabilities, that are to be discounted, and the distribution of discount variances between reporting periods.
