Nonmonetary Item

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Financial Statements and Reporting » Nonmonetary Item

A nonmonetary item refers to assets or liabilities that are not readily convertible to a fixed amount of cash, such as inventory, property, plant, and equipment. Unlike monetary items, nonmonetary items are subject to changes in value due to inflation or deflation. The nonmonetary definition is crucial for understanding balance sheet valuations and financial reporting. These items are typically recorded at historical cost or fair value, depending on accounting standards.
