Question 2c

Delta is an entity which prepares financial statements to 31 March each year. Each year, the financial statements are authorised for issue on 25 May. The following events have occurred which are relevant to the year ended 31 March 2017:

Event (c)
On 31 March 2017, Delta was owed $10m by entity Z. The amount was due for payment by 30 April 2017. Entity Z has been a customer for many years and has an excellent payment record. At 31 March 2017, there was no reason to suppose that entity Z would fail to pay the $10m owed to Delta by 30 April 2017. By 20 April 2017, entity Z’s going concern status was in considerable doubt. (5 marks)
