Financial statements provide investors and analysts with information about a company’s ability to manage its financial transactions and build value in the organization. Accountants gather information to use when creating the financial statements. This information includes both actual dollar amounts and estimated amounts. Accounting estimates require the accountant to determine what financial value to record when the actual amount is unknown

 

Examples

Accounting estimates include depreciation calculations, warranty claims or bad debts. Depreciation calculations require the accountant to estimate the number of years the asset the company will use the asset and the value of the asset at the end of the asset's life. Warranty claim estimates require the accountant to estimate the number of customers who will file warranty claims and the cost of the repairs for each claim. Bad debt estimates require the accountant to estimate the number of customers who will default on their accounts and the dollar value of those accounts

An accounting estimate is an approximation of the amount of a business transaction for which there is no precise means of measurement. Estimates are used in accrual basis accounting to make the financial statements more complete, usually to anticipate events that have not yet occurred, but which are considered to be probable. These estimates may be subsequently revised as more information becomes available. Examples of accounting estimates are:

 

  • A loss provision for an environmental damage claim
  • A loss provision for a bad debt
  • A loss provision for warranty claims
