Step 1: Identify Accrual Items

Revenue accruals:

ItemDescriptionTypical Items

Other accruals:

ItemDescription
应交税费 (Taxes payable)Income tax, VAT, surcharges

Step 2: Build Accrual Schedule

Monthly/quarterly accrual tracking:

Accrual ItemJanFeb...Q1Q2Q3Q4Full Year
应收账款增加
预收账款增加
应付账款增加
应付职工薪酬
...
Net accruals

Step 3: Analyze Accrual Quality

Accrual ratios:

RatioFormulaInterpretation
总应计率(ΔCA - ΔCash - ΔCL) / Average Assets>0 = accrual-based earnings
应收账款/收入AR / RevenueRising = potential issues
应付账款/成本AP / COGSTrend analysis
预收账款/收入Deferred rev / RevenueCustomer prepayments
经营现金流/净利润OCF / Net Income<1 = accrual concern

Accrual quality flags:

FlagWarning
应收账款增速 >> 收入增速Potential revenue inflation
应付账款突然减少Potential window dressing
预收账款大幅波动Revenue recognition timing
其他应付款异常Related party tunneling

Step 4: CAS-Specific Accrual Items

China-specific accruals:

ItemCAS TreatmentNotes
增值税Pass-through, not revenue不含税收入
政府补助递延收益 or 其他收益Timing impact

固定资产减值When indicators existCAS 8
商誉减值Annual test (no reversal)CAS 8

Quality Checks

Before delivering:

  • All significant accruals identified
  • Schedule ties to financial statements
  • Trends analyzed
  • Quality flags addressed
  • CAS compliance verified
  • Audit implications noted

Data Source Mode Switch: Set env var IFIND_DATA_SOURCE_MODE to control data source preference.

  • ifind-only (strict): Use iFind only, error if unavailable
  • ifind-fallback (default): iFind preferred, fallback to AkShare
  • akshare-only: Skip iFind, use AkShare only
