Cal. Code Regs. tit. 2 § 1051.8

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 41, October 11, 2024
Section 1051.8 - Current and Long-Term Assets and Liabilities

Assets and liabilities are segregated in the account chart as current and long-term. Current assets are those which are normally convertible to cash within a twelve-month period. Prepaid expenses have a cash-equivalent value and are included as current. Other assets are long-term.

Similarly, liabilities which will become payable within twelve months are classed as current.

The distinction between long and short-term need not be currently maintained in the accounts. It is sufficient to recognize the transition from long-term to current status on financial statement working papers, without actually making the entries in the books.
