• Communication Case 1810 Should the present
  two-category distinction between liabilities and
  equity be retained? Group interaction. ? LO1
• The current conceptual distinction between
  liabilities and equity defines liabilities
  independently of assets and equity, with equity
  defined as a residual amount. The present
  proliferation of financial instruments that
  combine features of both debt and equity and the
  difficulty of drawing a distinction have led many
  to conclude that the present two-category
  distinction between liabilities and equity should
  be eliminated. Two opposing viewpoints are
• View 1 The distinction should be maintained.
• View 2 The distinction should be eliminated and
  financial instruments should instead be reported
  in accordance with the priority of their claims
  to enterprise assets.
