Importance The research examines the economic substance of corporate assets so to recognize them as an item for accounting observation, and present in financial statements.
Objectives In forming statistical and dynamic balance sheet, I analyze historical experience and views on corporate assets, relying upon legal and economic concepts.
Methods The methodological framework includes proceedings of renowned Russian scholars of the early 20th century. The results are verified with such methods as analysis and synthesis, observation, comparison and logic generalization.
Results The Russian entities are proved to form their balance sheets on the basis of the economic concept of statistical balance sheet. In the mean time, financial reporting under IFRS is usually based on the dynamic balance sheet.
Conclusions and Relevance To recognize assets and form statistical and dynamic balance sheets, it is necessary to rely upon on legal and economic concepts. When assets are recognized in the balance sheet, it would be reasonable to adhere to the economic concept of dynamic balance sheet. The carrying value of assets should be assessed in line with future income, which those assets will generate.
