Review the Presentation of the Elements“Statement of
Financial Position”
“Assets” is correctly listed on the Statement of Financial Position
“Cash and due from Banks” and “Interest Bearing Deposits in
Banks” are correctly listed as Assets on the
Statement of Financial Position
Review the Calculation of the Elements – Remember, Totals are on top!
Numerous types of line items for “Available for Sale Securities” total to the line item “Available
for Sale Securities”
All line items for “Marketable Securities” (e.g. Trading, AFS and
HTM) total to the line item “Assets”
“Assets” are included on the Statement of
Financial Position
