FAQs

Common Questions

How is manufacturing inventory valued under IFRS?

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value under IAS 2, with cost including production overheads allocated on a systematic basis — a common area of technical judgment for manufacturers with complex production processes.

Do manufacturing warranty provisions require actuarial input?

Not always — many warranty provisions can be estimated from historical claims data under IAS 37, though complex or long-dated warranty programmes may benefit from more formal estimation techniques.
