The material says that the financila statement footnotes should include the following when measuring a firm's assets and liabilities:

"Inventories recognized as an expense"

Can anyone explain this?

Hi, this is from Scheweser book Accounting 2009 page 80.

The financial statement footnotes should include the following when measuring a firm's assets and liabilities:

- Basis for measurement
- Carrying value of inventory by category
- Amount of inventory at fair value less costs to sell
- Write-downs and reversals
- Inventories pledged as collateral
- Inventories recognized as an expense

I am curious about the last point.

inventories as expense = what is the COGS part of your income statement.

beginning inventory + purchases - COGS = Ending Inventory

thus helping tie out the Balance sheet and the Income statement.

given the various means of measuring inventory - LIFO, FIFO, etc. COGS gets affected - and thus affects the Balance Sheet for Inventory.

at least this is what I think it means.
