MATERIALS AND METHODS
IAS 41 deals with the management of biological assets transformation, considering
logging, orchard, plantations, horticulture and aquaculture. This standard will apply for the accounting of the following elements, as they refer only to agricultural activities:
a) Biological assets – plants or living animals. The transformation process creates the
processes of growing, anatomic degradation of living cells, production or breeding, which
cause quality or quantity alteration of the biological asset. A biological asset or an agricultural produce are accounted only if the economic entity controls the asset due to previous events, and the future economic benefits generated by the asset are obtained by the entity, where the fair value or cost can be realistically estimated. A biological asset is evaluated on the initial accounting and on the year-end accounts, at its fair value, minus sale costs
