By order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated May 16, 2016 N 64n, the Regulation was supplemented by clause 13.3

13.3. An organization that has the right to apply simplified accounting methods, including simplified accounting (financial) statements, may recognize expenses for the acquisition of inventories intended for management needs as expenses for ordinary activities in the full amount as they are acquired (implemented). ).

14. Inventories that do not belong to the organization, but are in its use or disposal in accordance with the terms of the contract, are accepted for accounting in the assessment provided for in the contract.

Inventories are assets used as raw materials, materials, etc. in the production of products intended for sale (performance of work, provision of services), purchased directly for resale, and also used for the management needs of the organization.

In connection with the publication by many companies of their financial statements under IFRS, the following definition is also common, given in the second standard (IAS 2): Inventories are assets:

1) intended for sale in the ordinary course of business;

2) used in the production process for the purpose of such sales;

3) in the form of materials and resources intended for consumption in the production process or in the course of providing services.

In the Russian balance sheet, inventories (line 210) include:

– raw materials, materials and other similar values;

– animals for growing and fattening;

- costs in work in progress;

– finished products and goods for resale;

- goods shipped;

- future spending;

- other inventories and expenses.

The economic essence of inventories The variety of forms of ownership in the period of a market economy, the expansion of the rights of enterprises in managing the economy, industry-specific features of production require alternative, and sometimes multivariate approaches in solving specific issues of methods and techniques for keeping records of industrial stocks.

Businesses now have a choice of different methods:

– organization of accounting for the procurement and acquisition of materials;

- reflection of the cost of materials remaining at the end of the month on the way or not taken out of the warehouses of suppliers;

- identifying deviations in the actual cost of material assets from accounting prices and their subsequent distribution between the materials used in production and their balances in warehouses.

Depending on the role played by various production stocks in the production process, they are divided into the following groups:

1) raw materials and basic materials;

2) auxiliary materials;

3) purchased semi-finished products;

4) waste (return), fuel;

5) containers and packaging materials, spare parts;

6) inventory and household supplies.

Raw materials and basic materials are the objects of labor from which the product is made and which form the material (material) basis of the product. Raw materials are the products of agriculture and the mining industry (grain, cotton, livestock, milk, etc.), and materials are products of the manufacturing industry (flour, fabric, sugar, etc.). Auxiliary materials are used to influence raw materials and basic materials, to give the product certain consumer properties, or to maintain and care for tools and facilitate the production process (spices in sausage production, lubricants, cleaning materials, etc.).


It should be borne in mind that the division of materials into basic and auxiliary is conditional and often depends only on the amount of material used for the production of various types of products. Purchased semi-finished products - raw materials and materials that have passed certain stages of processing, but are not yet finished products. In the manufacture of products, they play the same role as the main materials, i.e. constitute their material basis. Returnable production waste - the remains of raw materials and materials formed in the process of their processing into finished products, which have completely or partially lost the consumer properties of the original raw materials and materials (sawdust, shavings, etc.). From the group of auxiliary materials, fuel, containers and packaging materials, spare parts are separately distinguished due to the peculiarity of their use. Fuel is divided into technological (for technological purposes), motor (fuel) and household (for heating).

Containers and packaging materials - items used for packaging, transportation, storage of various materials and products (bags, boxes, boxes). Spare parts are used to repair and replace worn parts of machines and equipment. Inventory and household supplies are part of the organization's inventory, used as means of labor for no more than 12 months or the normal operating cycle, if it exceeds 12 months (inventory, tools, etc.). In addition, materials are classified according to their technical properties and are divided into groups: ferrous and non-ferrous metals, rolled products, pipes, etc.

These classifications of inventories are used to build synthetic and analytical accounting, as well as leaving a statistical report on the balances, receipts and consumption of raw materials and materials in production and operational activities.

To account for the inventory, the following synthetic accounts are used: 10 "Materials" with the corresponding sub-accounts; 11 "Animals for cultivation and fattening"; 15 "Procurement and acquisition of material assets"; 16 "Deviation in the value of material assets"; 41 "Goods"; 43 "Finished products". Off-balance accounts: 002 "Inventory accepted for safekeeping"; 003 "Materials accepted for processing"; 004 "Goods accepted for commission"; Off-balance account "Special equipment transferred to operation".

The following sub-accounts can be opened for the “Materials” account:

1. "Raw materials and materials";

2. "Purchased semi-finished products and components, structures and parts";

3. "Fuel";

4. "Containers and packaging materials";

5. "Spare parts";

6. "Other materials";

8. "Building materials";

9. "Inventory and household supplies", etc.;

10. "Special equipment and special clothing in stock";

11. "Special equipment and special clothing in operation."

In small enterprises, all inventories can be accounted for on one synthetic account 10 "Materials". Within each of the listed groups, material assets are divided into types, varieties, brands, sizes. Each name, variety, size is assigned a short numerical designation (nomenclature number) and recorded in a special register, which is called the nomenclature-price tag. The nomenclature-price tag also indicates a fixed accounting price and a unit of measure for materials.

Inventories (IPZ) make up a significant part of the assets of the balance sheet of organizations. From January 1, 2002, their accounting must be carried out in accordance with PBU 5/01 "Accounting for inventories" (approved by order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 09.06.01 N 44n). Inventories include: raw materials, materials, etc., used in the manufacture of products intended for sale, assets used for management needs, finished products intended for sale, as well as goods purchased or received from others legal or natural persons or intended for sale.

Low-value and wearing items, previously related to the MPZ, are not mentioned in PBU 5/01. Assets with a useful life of more than 12 months used in the production of products, in the performance of work (rendering services, for the management needs of the organization), are classified as fixed assets (clause 4 PBU 6/01 "Accounting for fixed assets", approved by order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 30.03.01 N 26n). And regardless of their initial cost.

The inventory accounting unit, in addition to the previously used item number, can be a batch, a homogeneous group, etc. In this case, the selected unit must ensure the formation of complete and reliable information about the reserves, as well as proper control over their presence and movement.

PBU 5/01 does not apply to:

- assets used in the production of products, performance of work or provision of services or for the management needs of the organization for a period exceeding 12 months or the normal operating cycle, if it exceeds 12 months;

- assets characterized as work in progress.

In order to improve the legal regulation in the field of accounting and financial reporting, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation approved the Accounting Regulation "" (PBU 5/2012), which comes into force with the financial statements of 2013. The article discusses the main changes contained in this document.

The new PBU, to a greater extent than the current PBU 5/01 "Accounting for inventories", is closer to the requirements of IFRS.
The main changes that come into force relate to the following points (Figure 1):

Overview of the main changes in inventory accounting that come into force with the adoption of the Accounting Regulation "Inventory Accounting" (PBU 5/2012)

In accordance with paragraph 1 of Sec. 1 PBU 5/2012 establishes the rule for the formation in accounting and financial statements of information on the reserves of organizations (with the exception of credit institutions and state (municipal) institutions) that are legal entities under the legislation of the Russian Federation.
In accordance with paragraph 2 of Sec. 1 PBU 5/2012 in accounting, the following objects are recognized as reserves (Figure 2):

Objects recognized as reserves in accordance with PBU 5/2012


Rice. 2

Thus, the scope of the document has been expanded. In addition to, as well as resources intended for sale in the course of the ordinary activities of the organization (goods and finished products), PBU 5/2012 includes assets that are in the process of production for subsequent sale (performance of work, provision of services) in the course of the ordinary activities of the organization , that is, work in progress (Figure 3).

Comparison of the scope of PBU 5/2012 and PBU 5/01


Rice. 3

In accordance with paragraph 3 of Sec. 1 PBU 5/2012 reserves are not recognized:

1) raw materials, materials, products intended for use in the creation of non-current assets of the organization;

2) financial investments of the organization, including those intended for resale;

3) material assets held by the organization in safekeeping, in the process of processing as raw materials to be supplied, on the basis of a commission agreement, in the process of transportation, etc.

If the designation of recognized inventories changes in such a way that they can no longer be recognized as inventories (for example, materials previously held for resale become held for the creation of non-current assets), the entity transfers such inventories to another appropriate class of asset.

The inventory accounting unit is established by the organization in such a way as to ensure the formation of complete and reliable information about these reserves in the accounting and financial statements of the organization, depending on the type of reserves, the procedure for their acquisition, creation and use. The inventory accounting unit can be an item number, a batch, a homogeneous group, an individual object or part of it.

Among the changes made to PBU 5/01 "Accounting for inventories", it is important to determine the moment of recognition of inventories in accounting.

In accordance with paragraph 6 of Sec. 1 PBU 5/2012 reserves will be taken into account at the time of transition to the organization of economic risks and benefits associated with the ownership of reserves. As a rule, such a moment coincides with the transfer of ownership or the transfer of assets. The transition to managing economic risks and rewards coincides with the transfer of assets in the event that inventories need to be shown on the balance sheet prior to the transfer of ownership. For example, in case of deferred payment, when, under the terms of the agreement between the parties, the ownership transfers to the buyer upon payment.

PBU 5/01, as well as the Methodological Guidelines for Accounting for Inventories, approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated December 28, 2001 N 119n (hereinafter referred to as the Guidelines), do not mention the moment of recognition of reserves and its dependence on the transfer of ownership. The Guidelines determine that if the organization does not have the right of ownership to the material assets received, the latter are accounted for on off-balance accounts.

Paragraph 36 of the Methodological Instructions refers to the need to capitalize uninvoiced deliveries, that is, incoming stocks for which there are no settlement documents. This refers to assets without a specific status, which the organization may not have the right to own. PBU 5/2012 does not set out the procedure for accounting for uninvoiced deliveries. If these reserves are recognized on the balance sheet of the organization, one must proceed from the general criterion for obtaining, together with the assets, the corresponding economic risks and benefits, as well as from one's own professional judgment.

In accordance with paragraph 1 of Sec. 2 PBU 5/2012, stocks are evaluated upon recognition in accounting at the amount of actual costs for their acquisition, procurement, processing, production, delivery to the place of their use or sale, bringing them into the condition necessary for their use or sale.

The exceptions are producers of agriculture, forestry and fisheries, as well as organizations engaged in brokerage activities on the commodity exchange. In accordance with paragraph 19 of Sec. 2 PBU 5/2012, such organizations have the right to evaluate reserves when they are recognized as an asset and on subsequent reporting dates at the current market value. An organization that has made a decision to estimate reserves in accordance with this paragraph is obliged to consistently adhere to this decision in the future.

The following amounts are included in the cost of inventories when they are acquired from other persons (Figure 4).

Amounts included in the cost of inventories when they are acquired from others


Rice. 4

The amounts paid and (or) payable to the supplier are included in the cost of inventory, taking into account all premiums, discounts and other incentives provided to the organization in connection with the purchase of inventory, regardless of the form of their provision. Consider an example of the formation of the cost of inventory in the case of a discount by the supplier.

Example 1 LLC "Romashka" purchases materials from LLC "Luchik" worth 4,720,000 rubles. (including VAT - 720,000 rubles), while Luchik LLC provides a 5% discount. The services of an intermediary firm amount to 177,000 rubles. (including VAT - 27,000 rubles).
1. We will recalculate the cost of materials, taking into account the discount.
1) determine the amount of the discount:
RUB 4,720,000 x 5% = 236,000 rubles;
2) calculate the cost of materials without discounts:
RUB 4,720,000 - 236,000 rubles. = 4,484,000 rubles;
3) determine the amount of "input" VAT:
RUB 4,484,000 x 18/118 = 684,000 rubles;
4) the amount included in the cost of inventory will be 3,800,000 rubles. (4,484,000 rubles - 684,000 rubles).
2. We will reflect the operations for the purchase of materials in accounting:
1) received materials are credited:
Debit account 10 "Materials"
Credit of account 60 "Settlements with suppliers and contractors" 3,800,000 rubles;
2) VAT on acquired valuables is taken into account:

Credit of account 60 "Settlements with suppliers and contractors" 684,000 rubles;
3) expenses for the services of an intermediary company are reflected:
Debit account 10 "Materials"
Credit of account 60 "Settlements with suppliers and contractors" 150,000 rubles;
4) VAT on the services of an intermediary company is taken into account:
Debit account 19 "Value added tax on acquired material assets"
Credit of account 60 "Settlements with suppliers and contractors" 27,000 rubles;
5) payment for materials to the supplier and services to the intermediary company is reflected:
Debit account 60 "Settlements with suppliers and contractors"
Credit of account 51 "Settlement accounts" 4,661,000 rubles;
6) accepted for deduction of VAT on the cost of purchasing materials:
Debit account 68 "Calculations on taxes and fees", subaccount "VAT",
Account credit 19 "Value added tax on acquired
material values" 711,000 rubles.
Thus, the initial cost of materials is 3,950,000 rubles. (3,800,000 rubles + 150,000).

RAS 5/2012 reflects the procedure for the formation of the cost of inventories when they are acquired on the terms of a deferral (installment plan) of payment. PBU 5/01 does not contain this provision. In this case, the cost of inventory includes the amount that would have been paid by the organization in the absence of a deferment (installment plan). The difference between the specified amount and the nominal amount of funds payable in the future is accounted for in the manner established for accounting for expenses related to the fulfillment of obligations on loans and credits received throughout the entire deferral (installment plan) period.

When an organization acquires inventories under contracts that provide for the fulfillment of obligations (payment) in full or in part by non-monetary means (including an exchange agreement), the cost of inventories (in terms of the fulfillment of obligations by non-monetary means) is the amount at which the organization could sell the transferred non-monetary property for cash, property rights, works, services. If it is impossible to determine the specified amount, the cost of inventories is considered to be the book value of the transferred non-monetary assets, the actual costs of performing work, rendering services.

When an organization receives inventories as a contribution to the authorized (share) capital, the cost of inventories is considered to be their monetary value, determined by agreement between the founders.

Example 2 When LLC "Luchik" was created, it was decided that one of the founders would contribute his inventory as a contribution to the authorized capital. The monetary value of the contribution in accordance with the constituent documents is 25,000 rubles. The inventory has been taken into account.
In the accounting of the organization, a posting should be made:
1) the debt of the founder on the contribution to the authorized capital is repaid by the transfer of the inventory belonging to him:
Debit account 10 "Materials"
Credit of account 75 "Settlements with the founders" 25,000 rubles.
The cost of inventory in accounting amounted to 25,000 rubles.

The cost of inventories remaining upon disposal or recovered in the process of current maintenance, repair, reconstruction, modernization of fixed assets and other assets is considered to be the smallest of the following two values ​​(Figure 5).

Rice. 5

Example 3 LLC "Luchik" writes off the machine due to its unsuitability. Initially, the cost of the fixed asset was 500,000 rubles. The amount of accrued depreciation is 450,000 rubles. The book value of the fixed asset is 50,000 rubles. When the fixed asset was disposed of, scrap metal remained suitable for further use.
The following entries will be made in the accounting records:
1) the initial cost of the fixed asset is written off:
Debit of account 01 "Fixed assets", subaccount "Disposal",
Credit of account 01 "Fixed assets" 500,000 rubles;
2) the amount of accrued depreciation is written off:
Debit account 02 "Depreciation of fixed assets"
Credit of account 01 "Fixed assets", sub-account "Disposal", 450,000 rubles;
3) written off the residual value of the machine:

Credit of account 01 "Fixed assets", sub-account "Disposal", 50,000 rubles;
4) wages were accrued to workers involved in the liquidation of the fixed asset:
Debit account 91 "Other income and expenses", sub-account "Other expenses",
Credit of account 70 "Settlement with personnel for wages" 10,000 rubles.
When accepting scrap metal for accounting, an independent expert determined its current market value, which amounted to 70,000 rubles.
The total value of the book value of assets being disposed of, the costs of their disposal and the costs of recovering reserves is 60,000 rubles. (10,000 rubles + 50,000 rubles) and is the smallest compared to the current market valuation;
5) materials suitable for further use are taken into account:
Debit account 10 "Materials"
Credit of account 91 "Other income and expenses", sub-account "Other
income", 60,000 rubles.

An important innovation is the inclusion of a capitalization requirement in the initial (actual) cost of stocks, the costs of fulfilling obligations for dismantling, removing stocks and restoring the environment in the area they occupy. This point is reflected in clause 14 of PBU 5/2012, according to which the cost of inventories includes:

  • the costs of bringing stocks to a state in which they are suitable for use for the planned purposes, including the costs of reworking, sorting, packaging and improving the technical characteristics of stocks;
  • costs for the procurement and delivery of stocks to the place of their use;
  • the amount of the estimated liability for dismantling, removal of stocks and restoration of the environment on the site occupied by them, which arose during the acquisition or creation of stocks.

Figure 6 shows a comparison of PBU 5/01 and PBU 5/2012 in terms of the composition of costs included in the cost of inventories, along with the amounts transferred in the event of their acquisition from other persons, on a deferred (installment plan) payment basis, under contracts providing for the fulfillment of obligations (payment) in full or in part by non-monetary funds, receipt by the organization of stocks as a contribution to the authorized (share) capital, upon disposal or extraction in the process of current maintenance, repair, reconstruction, modernization of fixed assets and other assets.

Rice. 6

Thus, PBU 5/2012 contains an additional cost item, which includes the amount of the estimated obligation to dismantle, remove reserves and restore the environment in the area they occupy, which arose during the acquisition or creation of reserves.

The cost of inventories during their creation, production and processing at different stages of the production process includes costs directly related to the implementation, management and maintenance of the production process (the cost of raw materials and materials, employee benefits, depreciation, maintenance and maintenance of fixed assets, depreciation of intangible assets) .

If the result of production is the release of more than one type of product (work, service), then those costs that cannot be attributed to the production of a particular type of product (work, service) are distributed among these types in proportion to the base established by the organization. As such a base, costs directly related to specific types of products, such as raw materials, materials, wages, etc., can be used. The organization establishes the basis for the distribution of these costs between the types of products (works, services) based on the principle of rationality and applies it consistently.

The cost of inventories does not include the following costs (Figure 7).

Amounts not included in the cost of inventories in accordance with clause 16 of PBU 5/2012


Rice. 7

In accordance with paragraph 6 of PBU 5/01, general business and other similar expenses are not included in the actual costs of acquiring inventories, except when they are directly related to the acquisition of inventories.

Questions arise regarding the inclusion in the cost of inventories of the costs of wages of employees of the procurement department, the costs of maintaining warehouses (bases), one part of these costs (sorting, packaging), according to the project, is included in the list in the cost of inventories, and the other does not apply to production and stock processing.

IAS 2 Inventories covers this point more clearly and in detail. Clause 10 of this Standard defines three groups of costs included in the cost of production, namely: production variable direct costs, production indirect variables costs, production permanent indirect costs, which are generally referred to as production overheads.

Examples of variable costs of the first group are raw materials and basic materials, the wages of production workers with accruals on it, etc. These are the costs that can be attributed directly to the cost of specific products based on primary accounting data.

Variable indirect production costs (the second group) include such costs that are directly dependent or almost directly dependent on changes in the volume of activities, but due to the technological features of production, they cannot or are not economically feasible to be directly attributed to manufactured products. Striking examples of such costs are the costs of raw materials in complex industries (during the processing of raw materials - coal - coke, gas, benzene, coal tar, ammonia are produced). When milk is separated, skimmed milk and cream are obtained. Divide the costs of raw materials by types of products in these examples can only indirectly.

The third group of costs, identified in paragraph 10 of IFRS - constant indirect overhead production costs - include those general production costs that do not change or hardly change as a result of changes in the volume of production (depreciation of industrial buildings, structures, equipment; expenses for their repair and maintenance; expenses for the maintenance of the shop management apparatus and other shop personnel).

The order of inclusion in the cost of each group of costs is clearly regulated and prescribed in IAS (IAS) 2 "Inventory".

Organizations with a complex production process or a large range of finished products have the right to determine the cost of inventory at planned (standard) costs. When using this method, the organization determines the cost of inventory as the planned cost of acquiring, producing and processing inventory. Standard costs are set by the organization based on the normal (usually required) volumes of raw materials and materials, labor, other resources and production capacity utilization and are subject to regular review in accordance with current production conditions.

Another important innovation concerns the approach to determining the actual cost of inventories in relation to trading organizations.

In accordance with clause 18, retailers with a large range of goods have the right to determine the cost of inventory based on their sale prices. When using this method, the organization determines the cost of goods at their selling prices, reduced by the amount of trade margins. In this case, the organization has the right to take into account the trade margin separately from the goods accounted for at their sale prices. In this case, the goods should be reflected in the balance sheet net of the trade margin. The value of trade margins is subject to regular review in accordance with the current conditions for the purchase and sale of goods.

At the moment, trade organizations have the right to attribute the costs of procurement and delivery of goods to central warehouses (bases) directly to costs (paragraph 13 of PBU 5/01). PBU 5/2012 does not contain this exception for trade organizations. A general procedure has been established for the formation of the actual cost of stocks: the costs of procurement and delivery of stocks to the place of their use are included in the cost of stocks. PBU 5/2012 left trade organizations only the right to use an alternative valuation method - at the sales price.

PBU 5/2012 identifies the following alternative, calculation methods for the initial assessment of reserves (Figure 8).

Alternative Methods for Initial Reserve Estimation PBU 5/2012


Rice. eight

Methods of valuation at planned (standard) costs or at the sale price are primarily related to the valuation of work in progress, finished products, and goods. PBU 5/2012 states that valuation by selling value is appropriate for trading companies, and by planned costs - for organizations with a large range of reserves. Producers of agriculture, forestry and fisheries have the right to evaluate reserves at current market value.

The procedure for the current assessment of reserves is reflected in Sec. 3 PBU 5/2012.

Inventories are valued at the balance sheet date at the lower of the following values:

1) cost, determined in accordance with the methods discussed above;

2) the estimated price at which the stocks can be sold, less the costs necessary to complete the production and processing of the stocks, prepare them for sale and carry out the sale (hereinafter referred to as the net selling price).

If the booked value of inventories exceeds net realizable value, inventories are written down to net realizable value.

Signs of a possible excess of the current value of stocks over the net realizable value are the obsolescence of stocks, the loss of their original qualities, the decrease in their current market value, the narrowing of the markets for stocks, etc.

If the net realizable value of previously discounted inventories increases, such inventories are remeasured to net realizable value, but within the previously recognized impairment of inventories.

The write-down of inventories to net realizable value, as well as the loss of inventories, is recognized as an expense in ordinary activities in the period when there was a decrease in their value or a loss occurred. The revaluation of inventories to net realizable value, within the limits of the previously recognized markdown, is credited to the reduction of ordinary operating expenses in the period in which the increase in the net realizable value of the inventories occurred.

Inventories that cannot replace each other in the production process and in sales (for example, custom-made products) are valued at the cost of each unit of such inventory.

If inventories are a set of interchangeable (homogeneous) units, then their assessment at the reporting date is carried out in one of the following ways:

1) by weighted average cost;

2) FIFO ("first in, first out").

Inventories that have similar characteristics and perform similar functions in an entity's business should be valued consistently using the same valuation method.

The weighted average cost approach calculates the cost of each item of inventory based on the weighted average cost of inventories of interchangeable items at the beginning of the period and the cost of interchangeable items purchased or produced during a particular period. The weighted average cost may be calculated periodically as each additional batch of inventory items is received.

The FIFO valuation method is based on the assumption that inventories are used in the sequence in which they were acquired (received). The valuation of stocks that are the first to enter production (sale) corresponds to the valuation of the first acquisitions. When applying this method, the valuation of inventories not written off at the reporting date is made in the valuation of the most recent acquisitions.

The procedure for recognizing expenses associated with the acquisition, creation and storage of inventories is reflected in sect. 4 PBU 5/2012.

The cost of inventories sold is written off to ordinary operating expenses at the same time as the proceeds from their sale are recognized.

Stocks are reflected in the financial statements in accordance with their classification (distribution into groups, types) based on their nature and functions in the economic activity of the organization.

In the financial statements, the following information is subject to disclosure, taking into account materiality:

  • prime cost and accumulated amount of write-down of inventories to net realizable value at the beginning and end of the reporting period by groups (types) of inventories;
  • the cost of inventories recognized as an asset for the reporting period by groups (types) of inventories;
  • the cost of inventories recognized as expenses for ordinary activities for the reporting period by groups (types) of inventories;
  • the amount of the write-down of inventories to net realizable value recognized as operating expenses for the reporting period;
  • the amount of the revaluation of previously discounted inventories to net realizable value, deducted from ordinary expenses for the reporting period, and disclosure of the reasons that led to the increase in the net realizable value of inventories;
  • internal turnover between groups (types) of reserves for the reporting period by groups (types) of reserves;
  • the cost of acquired inventories that remain unpaid at the reporting date, as well as the value of pledged inventories;
  • methods for evaluating homogeneous reserves by their groups (types);
  • the consequences of changes in the methods for estimating homogeneous reserves compared to the previous reporting period.

Thus, a number of innovations require additional explanations from the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation. With regard to the purchase of inventories on a deferral (installment plan) basis, it is not clear what the nominal amount of cash payable in the future is. Also, the moment remains unclear regarding the procedure for determining the amount of the estimated obligation to dismantle, remove stocks and restore the environment on the site they occupy, which arose during the acquisition or creation of stocks.
