Notes:
This paper uses an economic model to develop a conceptual basis for the gearing adjustment used in current cost financial statements. It is shown that it is necessary to adopt the entity view of the business enterprise and some very restrictive assumptions; in particular, it is assumed that the business maintains its current cost gearing ratio. Even with restrictive assumptions, however, the SSAP 16 gearing adjustment cannot be derived. Furthermore it is concluded that gearing adjustments could be completely avoided by reporting current cost operating profit together with total monetary holding gains.
