A company is in the business of manufacturing fertilizers and chemicals. The company needs power and steam as raw materials. To reduce cost the company has proposed a plan to install Gas Turbine Generators. During the trial run of the generators, some units of power and steam have been generated which has been captively consumed. As per management, the cost of commissioning shall be after the deduction of proceeds from the sale of power and steam generated during the trial to be accounted for as CWIP i.e. a part of it has been charged to P&L and other is capitalised as CWIP. The company wants to affirm its accounting and thus approached the EAC of ICAI for their input on the same.
The Expert Advisory Committee has noted that para 16 of Ind AS 16 states that the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. And directly attributable cost includes ‘costs of testing whether the asset is functioning properly’. Further, crediting the CWIP with the derived value of sale proceeds when there is no sale, but only an internal consumption will lead to the booking of internally generated income by the entity, which is prohibited under the Indian Accounting Standards framework.
On the basis of the above, the Expert Advisory Committee (EAC) is of the opinion that company is not correct in crediting CWIP with the value of utilities generated and consumed during the trial run phase and charging off the said amount to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
