Objective
1 IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures specifies the disclosure requirements an entity is permitted to apply instead of the disclosure requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards.
Meeting the objective
2 An entity electing to apply this Standard applies the requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards, except for the disclosure requirements. Instead, the entity applies the requirements in this Standard.
3 Therefore, unless specified otherwise (see paragraph 4), an entity applying this Standard need not apply the disclosure requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards nor apply any statements about, or references to, those disclosure requirements. For example, paragraph 35 of IAS 12 Income Taxes contains requirements about the criteria for recognising a deferred tax asset arising from the carryforward of unused tax losses and tax credits. The paragraph ends with ‘in such circumstances, paragraph 82 requires disclosure of the amount of the deferred tax asset and the nature of the evidence supporting its recognition’. An entity that applies this Standard would not apply paragraph 82 of IAS 12. Such an entity need not apply the statement at the end of paragraph 35 of IAS 12 about paragraph 82.
4 Notwithstanding paragraphs 2–3:
- disclosure requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards that remain applicable to an entity applying this Standard are specified in this Standard.
- if an entity applying this Standard applies IFRS 8 Operating Segments, IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts or IAS 33 Earnings per Share, it shall apply all the disclosure requirements in those Standards.
- a new or amended IFRS Accounting Standard may include disclosure requirements about an entity’s transition to that Standard. Any relief available to an entity applying this Standard from disclosure requirements about the entity’s transition to that new or amended Standard will be set out in the new or amended IFRS Accounting Standard.
5 In accordance with paragraph 19 of IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, an entity applying this Standard need not provide a specific disclosure required by this Standard if the information resulting from that disclosure would not be material.
6 An entity shall consider whether to provide additional disclosures when compliance with the specific requirements in this Standard is insufficient to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of transactions and other events and conditions on the entity’s financial position and financial performance.
Scope
7 An entity may elect to apply this Standard in its consolidated, separate or individual financial statements if, and only if, at the end of the reporting period:
- it is a subsidiary;
- it does not have public accountability (see paragraphs 11–12); and
- it has an ultimate or intermediate parent that produces consolidated financial statements available for public use that comply with IFRS Accounting Standards.
8 A ‘subsidiary’ and a ‘group’ are defined in Appendix A of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements.
9 An intermediate parent assesses its eligibility to apply this Standard in its separate financial statements, regardless of whether other group entities, or the group as a whole, have public accountability.
10 An intermediate parent that does not have public accountability and meets the other eligibility conditions in paragraph 7 may apply this Standard in its separate financial statements even if it does not apply this Standard in its consolidated financial statements.
11 An entity has public accountability if:
- its debt or equity instruments are traded in a public market or it is in the process of issuing such instruments for trading in a public market (a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over-the-counter market, including local and regional markets); or
- it holds assets in a fiduciary capacity for a broad group of outsiders as one of its primary businesses (for example, banks, credit unions, insurance companies, securities brokers/dealers, mutual funds and investment banks often meet this second criterion).
12 Some entities may hold assets in a fiduciary capacity for a broad group of outsiders because they hold and manage financial resources entrusted to them by clients, customers or members not involved in the management of the entity. However, if they do so for reasons incidental to a primary business (as, for example, may be the case for travel or real estate agents, schools, charitable organisations, co-operative enterprises requiring a nominal membership deposit, and sellers that receive payment in advance of delivery of goods or services such as utility companies), that does not make them publicly accountable.
Electing or revoking an election to apply this Standard
13 An entity that elects to apply this Standard in one reporting period may later revoke that election. An entity may elect to apply this Standard more than once—for example, an entity that applied this Standard in a prior period but not in the immediately preceding period may elect to apply this Standard in the current period.
14 An entity that applies this Standard in the current reporting period but not in the immediately preceding period shall provide comparative information (that is, information for the preceding period) for all amounts reported in the current period’s financial statements, unless this Standard or another IFRS Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise. The entity shall include comparative information for narrative and descriptive information if it is necessary for an understanding of the current period’s financial statements.
15 An entity that applied this Standard in the preceding reporting period—but elects not to (or is no longer eligible to) apply it in the current period and continues applying IFRS Accounting Standards—shall provide comparative information with respect to the preceding period for all amounts reported in the current period’s financial statements, unless another IFRS Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise. The entity shall include comparative information for narrative and descriptive information if it is necessary for an understanding of the current period’s financial statements. The fact that this Standard did not require the disclosure of amounts in the preceding period for some items that are disclosed in the current period is not a reason to omit comparative information for these items.
16 The requirements for changes in accounting policies in IAS 8 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements do not apply to electing or revoking an election to apply this Standard.
Interaction with IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards
17 An entity applies IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards when it prepares its first IFRS financial statements, or when it is permitted to do so applying paragraph 4A of IFRS 1. An entity that applies this Standard when it prepares its first IFRS financial statements shall apply the disclosure requirements in paragraphs 21–30 of this Standard instead of the disclosure requirements in paragraphs 23–33 of IFRS 1.
18 Electing or revoking an election to apply this Standard does not, on its own, result in an entity meeting the definition of a first-time adopter of IFRS Accounting Standards in IFRS 1. For example, an entity that applied IFRS Accounting Standards, but not this Standard, in the immediately preceding reporting period and that applies this Standard in the current period is not a first-time adopter of IFRS Accounting Standards and shall not apply IFRS 1 in the current period.
19 Similarly, an entity revoking the election to apply this Standard in the current reporting period does not apply IFRS 1 in the current period if, in the immediately preceding period, it provided an explicit and unreserved statement of compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards as required by paragraph 20.
Disclosure requirements
Compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards
20 An entity whose financial statements comply with IFRS Accounting Standards and the requirements in this Standard shall make an explicit and unreserved statement of such compliance in the notes. An entity that applies this Standard shall, as part of that unreserved statement, state that it has applied this Standard. An entity applying this Standard shall not describe financial statements as complying with IFRS Accounting Standards unless the entity complies with the requirements in this Standard and all applicable requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards.
IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards
Explanation of transition to IFRS Accounting Standards
21 An entity shall explain how the transition from previous GAAP to IFRS Accounting Standards affected its reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
22 An entity that has applied IFRS Accounting Standards in a previous period, as described in paragraph 4A of IFRS 1, shall disclose:
- the reason it stopped applying IFRS Accounting Standards; and
- the reason it is resuming the application of IFRS Accounting Standards.
23 When an entity, in accordance with paragraph 4A of IFRS 1, does not elect to apply IFRS 1, the entity shall explain the reasons for electing to apply IFRS Accounting Standards as if it had never stopped applying IFRS Accounting Standards.
Reconciliations
24 To comply with paragraph 21, an entity’s first IFRS financial statements shall include:
- reconciliations of its equity reported in accordance with previous GAAP to its equity in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards for both:
- the date of transition to IFRSs; and
- the end of the latest period presented in the entity’s most recent annual financial statements in accordance with previous GAAP.
- a reconciliation to its total comprehensive income in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards for the latest period in the entity’s most recent annual financial statements. The starting point for that reconciliation shall be total comprehensive income in accordance with previous GAAP for the same period or, if an entity did not report such a total, profit or loss under previous GAAP.
25 If an entity becomes aware of errors made under previous GAAP in the reconciliations required by paragraph 24, it shall distinguish the correction of those errors from changes in accounting policies.
26 If, during the period covered by its first IFRS financial statements, an entity changes its accounting policies or its use of the exemptions contained in IFRS 1, it shall explain the changes between its first IFRS interim financial report and its first IFRS financial statements in accordance with paragraph 21, and it shall update the reconciliations required by paragraph 24.
27 If an entity did not present financial statements for previous periods, its first IFRS financial statements shall disclose that fact.
Interim financial reports
28 To comply with paragraph 21, if an entity presents an interim financial report in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting for part of the period covered by its first IFRS financial statements, the entity shall satisfy the requirements of IAS 34, unless stated otherwise, as well as these requirements:
- each such interim financial report shall, if the entity presented an interim financial report for the comparable interim period of the immediately preceding financial year, include:
- a reconciliation of its equity in accordance with previous GAAP at the end of that comparable interim period to its equity under IFRS Accounting Standards at that date; and
- a reconciliation to its total comprehensive income in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards for that comparable interim period (current and year to date). The starting point for that reconciliation shall be total comprehensive income in accordance with previous GAAP for that period or, if an entity did not report such a total, profit or loss in accordance with previous GAAP;
- in addition to the reconciliations required by (a), an entity’s first interim financial report in accordance with IAS 34 for part of the period covered by its first IFRS financial statements shall include the reconciliations described in paragraph 24 (supplemented by the details required by paragraph 25) or a cross-reference to another published document that includes these reconciliations; and
- if an entity changes its accounting policies or its use of the exemptions contained in IFRS 1, it shall explain the changes in each such interim financial report in accordance with paragraph 21 and update the reconciliations required by (a)–(b).
29 If a first-time adopter did not, in its most recent annual financial statements in accordance with previous GAAP, disclose information material to an understanding of the current interim period, its interim financial report shall disclose that information or include a cross-reference to another published document that includes it.
Disclosure requirements in IFRS 1 that remain applicable
30 If an entity applies paragraph D2 of IFRS 1, it shall apply the disclosure requirements in that paragraph.
IFRS 2 Share-based Payment
31 An entity shall disclose:
- a description of each type of share-based payment arrangement that existed at any time during the reporting period, including the general terms and conditions of each arrangement, such as vesting requirements, the maximum term of options granted and the method of settlement (whether in cash or equity). An entity with substantially similar types of share-based payment arrangements may aggregate this information.
- the number and weighted average exercise prices of share options in each of these groups of options:
- outstanding at the beginning of the reporting period;
- granted during the period;
- forfeited during the period;
- exercised during the period;
- expired during the period;
- outstanding at the end of the period; and
- exercisable at the end of the period.
32 An entity shall disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand how the fair value of the goods or services received, or the fair value of the equity instruments granted, during the reporting period was determined.
33 For share-based payment arrangements that were modified during the reporting period, an entity shall explain those modifications.
34 An entity shall disclose:
- the total expense recognised for the reporting period arising from share-based payment transactions in which the goods or services received did not qualify for recognition as assets and were therefore recognised immediately as an expense; and
- the total carrying amount at the end of the reporting period for liabilities arising from share-based payment transactions.
IFRS 3 Business Combinations
35 The acquirer shall disclose, for each business combination that occurs during the reporting period:
- the name and description of the acquiree;
- the acquisition date;
- the percentage of voting equity interests acquired;
- a qualitative description of the factors that make up the goodwill recognised, such as expected synergies from combining operations of the acquiree and the acquirer, intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition or other factors;
- the acquisition-date fair value of the total consideration transferred and description of the components of that consideration, such as:
- cash;
- other tangible or intangible assets, including a business or subsidiary of the acquirer;
- liabilities incurred, for example, a liability for contingent consideration; and
- equity interests of the acquirer;
- for contingent consideration arrangements and indemnification assets:
- the amount recognised as of the acquisition date; and
- a description of the arrangement and the basis for determining the amount of the payment;
- the amounts recognised as of the acquisition date for each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed;
- if a contingent liability is not recognised because its fair value cannot be measured reliably, the information required by paragraph 259;
- in a bargain purchase, the amount of any gain recognised in accordance with paragraph 34 of IFRS 3 Business Combinations and the line item in the statement of comprehensive income in which the gain is recognised; and
- for each business combination in which the acquirer holds less than 100 per cent of the equity interests in the acquiree at the acquisition date:
- the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree recognised at the acquisition date and the measurement basis for that amount; and
- for each non-controlling interest in an acquiree measured at fair value, the valuation technique(s) and significant inputs used to measure that value.
36 The acquirer shall disclose, for each reporting period after the acquisition date until the entity collects, sells or otherwise loses the right to a contingent consideration asset, or until the entity settles a contingent consideration liability or the liability is cancelled or expires:
- any changes in the recognised amounts, including any differences arising upon settlement; and
- the valuation techniques and key model inputs used to measure contingent consideration.
37 The acquirer shall disclose a reconciliation (comparative information is not required) of the carrying amount of goodwill at the beginning and end of the reporting period showing separately:
- additional goodwill recognised during the reporting period, except goodwill included in a disposal group that, on acquisition, meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations;
- goodwill included in a disposal group classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 and goodwill derecognised during the reporting period without having previously been included in a disposal group classified as held for sale;
- impairment losses recognised during the reporting period in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets; and
- any other changes in the carrying amount during the reporting period.
IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
38 An entity shall disclose, in the notes in the reporting period in which a non-current asset (or disposal group) has been either classified as held for sale or sold:
- a description of the non-current asset (or disposal group);
- a description of the facts and circumstances of the sale, or leading to the expected disposal, and the expected manner and timing of that disposal; and
- if applicable, the reportable segment in which the non-current asset (or disposal group) is presented in accordance with IFRS 8.
39 If either paragraph 26 of IFRS 5 or paragraph 29 of IFRS 5 applies, an entity shall disclose, in the reporting period of the decision to change the plan to sell the non-current asset (or disposal group), a description of the facts and circumstances leading to the decision and the effect of the decision on the results of operations for the period and any prior periods presented.
Disclosure requirements in IFRS 5 that remain applicable
40 An entity shall apply the disclosure requirements in paragraphs 12, 13, 33(a), 33(c) and 34 of IFRS 5. The reference to paragraph 33 in paragraph 13 of IFRS 5 shall be read by the entity as referring to paragraphs 33(a) and 33(c) of IFRS 5.
IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources
41 An entity shall treat exploration and evaluation assets as a separate class of assets and make the disclosures required by either paragraphs 200–202 (under subheading IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment) or paragraphs 263–266 (under subheading IAS 38 Intangible Assets), consistent with how the assets are classified.
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
42 Paragraphs 3–5D of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures set out the scope of IFRS 7, that is, the financial instruments, contracts to buy or sell a non-financial item and rights to which the disclosure requirements in IFRS 7 apply. An entity applying this Standard shall apply paragraphs 3–5D of IFRS 7 to determine the scope of the disclosure requirements in paragraphs 43–73. The references in:
- paragraph 3(a) of IFRS 7 to the disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement shall be read by the entity as referring to paragraphs 95–97; and
- paragraph 5A of IFRS 7 to the disclosure requirements in paragraphs 35A–35N of IFRS 7 shall be read by the entity as referring to paragraphs 65–71.
43 An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate the significance of financial instruments for its financial position and performance.
Categories of financial assets and financial liabilities
44 The carrying amounts of each of the following categories, as specified in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, shall either be presented in the statement of financial position or disclosed in the notes:
- financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss;
- financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, showing separately:
- those designated as such upon initial recognition in accordance with paragraph 4.2.2 of IFRS 9 or subsequently in accordance with paragraph 6.7.1 of IFRS 9; and
- those that meet the definition of held for trading in IFRS 9;
- financial assets measured at amortised cost;
- financial liabilities measured at amortised cost; and
- financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, showing separately:
- financial assets that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance with paragraph 4.1.2A of IFRS 9; and
- investments in equity instruments designated as such upon initial recognition in accordance with paragraph 5.7.5 of IFRS 9.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
45 If the entity has designated a financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with paragraph 4.2.2 of IFRS 9 and is required to present the effects of changes in that liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income (see paragraph 5.7.7 of IFRS 9), it shall disclose:
- the amount of change, cumulatively, in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability (see paragraphs B5.7.13–B5.7.20 of IFRS 9 for guidance on determining the effects of changes in a liability’s credit risk); and
- the difference between the financial liability’s carrying amount and the amount the entity would be contractually required to pay at maturity to the holder of the obligation.
46 If an entity has designated a financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with paragraph 4.2.2 of IFRS 9 and is required to present all changes in the fair value of that liability (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of the liability) in profit or loss (see paragraphs 5.7.7 and 5.7.8 of IFRS 9), it shall disclose:
- the amount of change, during the reporting period and cumulatively, in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability (see paragraphs B5.7.13–B5.7.20 of IFRS 9 for guidance on determining the effects of changes in a liability’s credit risk); and
- the difference between the financial liability’s carrying amount and the amount the entity would be contractually required to pay at maturity to the holder of the obligation.
Reclassification
47 An entity shall disclose if, in the current or previous reporting periods, it has reclassified any financial assets in accordance with paragraph 4.4.1 of IFRS 9. For each such event, an entity shall disclose:
- the date of reclassification;
- a detailed explanation of the change in business model and a qualitative description of its effect on the entity’s financial statements; and
- the amount reclassified into and out of each category.
48 For each reporting period following reclassification until derecognition, an entity shall disclose, for assets reclassified out of the fair value through profit or loss category so that they are measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance with paragraph 4.4.1 of IFRS 9:
Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
49 An entity shall, at the end of the reporting period, disclose separately the gross amounts of those recognised financial assets and recognised financial liabilities that are set off in accordance with paragraph 42 of IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation.
50 Financial instruments disclosed in accordance with paragraph 49 may be subject to different measurement requirements (for example, a payable related to a repurchase agreement may be measured at amortised cost, while a derivative will be measured at fair value). An entity shall include financial instruments at their recognised amounts and describe any resulting measurement differences in the related disclosures.
Collateral
51 An entity shall disclose:
- the carrying amount of financial assets it has pledged as collateral for liabilities or contingent liabilities, including amounts that have been reclassified in accordance with paragraph 3.2.23(a) of IFRS 9; and
- the terms and conditions relating to its pledge.
Allowance account for credit losses
52 The carrying amount of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance with paragraph 4.1.2A of IFRS 9 is not reduced by a loss allowance and an entity shall not present the loss allowance separately in the statement of financial position as a reduction of the carrying amount of the financial asset. However, an entity shall disclose the loss allowance in the notes.
Compound financial instruments with multiple embedded derivatives
53 If an entity has issued an instrument that contains both a liability and an equity component (see paragraph 28 of IAS 32) and the instrument has multiple embedded derivatives whose values are interdependent (such as a callable convertible debt instrument), it shall disclose the existence of those features.
Defaults and breaches
54 For loans payable recognised at the end of the reporting period, an entity shall disclose:
- details of any defaults during the period of principal, interest, sinking fund or redemption terms of those loans payable;
- the carrying amount of the loans payable in default at the end of the reporting period; and
- whether the default was remedied, or the terms of the loans payable were renegotiated, before the financial statements were authorised for issue.
55 If, during the period, there were breaches of loan agreement terms other than those described in paragraph 54, an entity shall disclose the same information as required by paragraph 54 if those breaches permitted the lender to demand accelerated repayment (unless the breaches were remedied, or the terms of the loan were renegotiated, on or before the end of the reporting period).
Items of income, expense, gains or losses
56 An entity shall either present, subject to the presentation requirements in IFRS 18, these items of income, expense, gains or losses in the statement of comprehensive income or disclose them in the notes:
- net gains or net losses on:
- financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss;
- financial liabilities measured at amortised cost;
- financial assets measured at amortised cost;
- investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance with paragraph 5.7.5 of IFRS 9; and
- financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance with paragraph 4.1.2A of IFRS 9, showing separately the amount of gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income during the reporting period, and the amount reclassified upon derecognition from accumulated other comprehensive income to profit or loss for the period;
- total interest revenue and total interest expense (calculated using the effective interest method) for financial assets that are measured at amortised cost or that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance with paragraph 4.1.2A of IFRS 9, or financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss; and
- fee income and expense (other than amounts included in determining the effective interest rate) arising from:
- financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss; and
- trust and other fiduciary activities that result in the holding or investing of assets on behalf of individuals, trusts, retirement benefit plans and other institutions.
56A An entity shall disclose the information required by paragraph 56B by class of financial assets measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income and by class of financial liabilities measured at amortised cost.
56B To enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of contractual terms that could change the amount of contractual cash flows based on the occurrence (or non-occurrence) of a contingent event that does not relate directly to changes in basic lending risks and costs (such as the time value of money or credit risk), an entity shall disclose:
- a qualitative description of the nature of the contingent event;
- quantitative information about the possible changes to contractual cash flows that could result from those contractual terms (for example, the range of possible changes); and
- the gross carrying amount of financial assets and the amortised cost of financial liabilities subject to those contractual terms.
56C [Deleted]
Accounting policies
57 In accordance with paragraph 176, an entity shall disclose material accounting policy information. Information about the measurement basis (or bases) for financial instruments used in preparing the financial statements is expected to be material accounting policy information.
Hedge accounting
58 An entity shall disclose separately, for each category of risk exposures that it decides to hedge and for which hedge accounting is applied, a description of:
- the hedging instruments that are used (and how they are used) to hedge risk exposures; and
- how the entity determines the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument for the purpose of assessing hedge effectiveness.
59 When an entity designates a specific risk component as a hedged item (see paragraph 6.3.7 of IFRS 9), it shall provide qualitative or quantitative information about how the entity determined the risk component that is designated as the hedged item (including a description of the nature of the relationship between the risk component and the item as a whole).
60 An entity shall disclose, in a table, these amounts related to items designated as hedging instruments separately by risk category for each type of hedge (fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation):
- the carrying amount of the hedging instruments (financial assets separately from financial liabilities);
- the line item in the statement of financial position that includes the hedging instrument;
- the change in fair value of the hedging instrument used as the basis for recognising hedge ineffectiveness for the period; and
- the nominal amounts (including quantities such as tonnes or cubic metres) of the hedging instruments.
61 An entity shall disclose, in a table, these amounts related to hedged items separately by risk category for the types of hedges as follows:
- for fair value hedges:
- the carrying amount of the hedged item recognised in the statement of financial position (presenting assets separately from liabilities);
- the accumulated amount of fair value hedge adjustments on the hedged item included in the carrying amount of the hedged item recognised in the statement of financial position (presenting assets separately from liabilities);
- the line item in the statement of financial position that includes the hedged item; and
- the change in value of the hedged item used as the basis for recognising hedge ineffectiveness for the period.
- for cash flow hedges and hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation: the change in value of the hedged item used as the basis for recognising hedge ineffectiveness for the period (for cash flow hedges, this is the change in value used to determine the recognised hedge ineffectiveness in accordance with paragraph 6.5.11(c) of IFRS 9).
62 An entity shall disclose, in a table, these amounts separately by risk category for the types of hedges:
- for fair value hedges: hedge ineffectiveness—the difference between the hedging gains or losses of the hedging instrument and the hedged item—recognised in profit or loss (or other comprehensive income for hedges of an equity instrument for which an entity has elected to present changes in fair value in other comprehensive income in accordance with paragraph 5.7.5 of IFRS 9).
- for cash flow hedges and hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation:
- hedging gains or losses of the reporting period that were recognised in other comprehensive income;
- hedge ineffectiveness recognised in profit or loss; and
- the amount reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve or the foreign currency translation reserve into profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment (see IFRS 18)—differentiating between amounts for which hedge accounting had previously been used, but for which the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, and amounts that have been transferred because the hedged item has affected profit or loss.
63 For hedging relationships to which an entity applies the exceptions set out in paragraphs 6.8.4–6.8.12 of IFRS 9 or paragraphs 102D–102N of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, an entity shall disclose:
- the significant interest rate benchmarks to which the entity’s hedging relationships are exposed;
- the extent of the risk exposure the entity manages that is directly affected by the interest rate benchmark reform;
- how the entity is managing the process to transition to alternative benchmark rates;
- a description of significant assumptions or judgements the entity made in applying these paragraphs (for example, assumptions or judgements about when the uncertainty arising from interest rate benchmark reform is no longer present with respect to the timing and the amount of the interest rate benchmark-based cash flows); and
- the nominal amount of the hedging instruments in those hedging relationships.
Fair value
64 In some cases, an entity does not recognise a gain or loss on initial recognition of a financial asset or financial liability because the fair value is neither evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability (a Level 1 input), nor based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets (see paragraph B5.1.2A of IFRS 9). In such cases, the entity shall disclose by class of financial asset or financial liability:
- its accounting policy for recognising in profit or loss the difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price to reflect a change in factors (including time) that market participants would take into account when pricing the asset or liability (see paragraph B5.1.2A(b) of IFRS 9);
- the aggregate difference yet to be recognised in profit or loss at the beginning and end of the reporting period and a reconciliation of changes in the balance of this difference; and
- why the entity concluded that the transaction price was not the best evidence of fair value, including a description of the evidence that supports the fair value.

64A An entity shall disclose in a single note in its financial statements information about its contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity that meet the criteria set out in paragraph 5B of IFRS 7. An entity shall disclose:
- information about contractual features that expose the entity to:
- variability in the underlying amount of electricity (see paragraph 2.3A of IFRS 9); and
- risk that the entity would be required to buy electricity during a delivery interval in which the entity cannot use the electricity (see paragraph B2.7 of IFRS 9).
- information about unrecognised commitments arising from the contracts, as at the reporting date, including:
- the estimated future cash flows from buying electricity under these contracts. The entity shall apply its judgement when identifying the appropriate time bands within which to disclose the estimated future cash flows.
- qualitative information about how the entity assesses whether a contract might become onerous (see IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets), including the assumptions the entity uses in making this assessment.
- qualitative and quantitative information about effects on the entity’s financial performance for the reporting period. The disclosure is based on the information that is applicable to the reporting period the entity used to assess whether it has been a net purchaser of electricity (see paragraph B2.8 of IFRS 9). An entity shall disclose information for the reporting period about:
- the costs arising from purchases of electricity made under the contracts, disclosing separately how much of the purchased electricity was unused at the time of delivery;
- the proceeds arising from sales of unused electricity; and
- the costs arising from purchases of electricity made to offset sales of unused electricity.
64B An entity shall disaggregate, for its contracts that meet the criteria set out in paragraph 5C of IFRS 7, the amounts the entity discloses, by risk category, related to items designated as hedging instruments in accordance with paragraph 60.
64C If an entity discloses information about other contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity as described in paragraph 5D of IFRS 7 (including those contracts described in paragraph 64B of this Standard) in other notes in its financial statements, the entity shall include cross-references to those notes in the single note required by paragraph 64A.
Nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments
Credit risk: all entities
65 An entity shall explain the inputs, assumptions and estimation techniques used to apply the requirements in Section 5.5 of IFRS 9. For this purpose an entity shall disclose:
- the basis of inputs and assumptions and the estimation techniques used to:
- measure the 12-month and lifetime expected credit losses;
- determine whether the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly since initial recognition; and
- determine whether a financial asset is a credit-impaired financial asset;
- how forward-looking information has been incorporated into the determination of expected credit losses, including the use of macroeconomic information; and
- changes in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the reporting period and the reasons for those changes.
66 To explain the changes in the loss allowance and the reasons for those changes, an entity shall provide, in a table, by class of financial instrument, a reconciliation from the opening balance to the closing balance of the loss allowance, showing separately the changes during the reporting period for:
- the loss allowance measured at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.
- the loss allowance measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for:
- financial instruments for which credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition but that are not credit-impaired financial assets;
- financial assets that are credit-impaired at the reporting date (but that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired); and
- trade receivables, contract assets or lease receivables for which the loss allowances are measured in accordance with paragraph 5.5.15 of IFRS 9.
- financial assets that are purchased or originated credit-impaired. In addition to the reconciliation, an entity shall disclose the total amount of undiscounted expected credit losses at initial recognition on financial assets initially recognised during the reporting period.
67 For loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, the loss allowance is recognised as a provision. An entity should disclose information about the changes in the loss allowance for financial assets separately from those for loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. However, if a financial instrument includes both a loan (financial asset) and an undrawn commitment (loan commitment) component and the entity cannot separately identify the expected credit losses on the loan commitment component from those on the financial asset component, the expected credit losses on the loan commitment should be recognised together with the loss allowance for the financial asset. To the extent that the combined expected credit losses exceed the gross carrying amount of the financial asset, the expected credit losses should be recognised as a provision.
Credit risk: entities that provide financing to customers as a main business activity
68 The disclosure requirements in paragraphs 69–71 are applicable only to an entity that provides financing to customers as a main business activity, as described in IFRS 18.
69 An entity shall disclose information that enables users of financial statements to understand and evaluate:
- how the entity determined whether the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly since initial recognition, including if and how:
- financial instruments are considered to have low credit risk in accordance with paragraph 5.5.10 of IFRS 9, including the classes of financial instruments to which it applies; and
- the presumption in paragraph 5.5.11 of IFRS 9, that there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition when financial assets are more than 30 days past due, has been rebutted; and
- an entity’s definitions of default, including the reasons for selecting those definitions.
70 An entity shall provide an explanation of how significant changes in the gross carrying amount of financial instruments during the period contributed to changes in the loss allowance. The information shall be provided separately for financial instruments that represent the loss allowance as listed in paragraph 66(a)–(c) and shall include relevant qualitative and quantitative information. Examples of changes in the gross carrying amount of financial instruments that contributed to the changes in the loss allowance may include:
- changes because of financial instruments originated or acquired during the reporting period;
- the modification of contractual cash flows on financial assets that do not result in a derecognition of those financial assets in accordance with IFRS 9;
- changes because of financial instruments that were derecognised (including those that were written off) during the reporting period; and
- changes arising from whether the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to 12-month or lifetime expected credit losses.
71 An entity shall disclose, by credit risk rating grades, the gross carrying amount of financial assets and the exposure to credit risk on loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. An entity shall provide this information separately for financial instruments:
- for which the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses;
- for which the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses and that are:
- financial instruments for which credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, but that are not credit-impaired financial assets;
- financial assets that are credit-impaired at the reporting date (but that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired); and
- trade receivables, contract assets or lease receivables for which the loss allowances are measured in accordance with paragraph 5.5.15 of IFRS 9.
- that are purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets.
Liquidity risk
72 An entity shall disclose:
- a maturity analysis for non-derivative financial liabilities (including issued financial guarantee contracts) that shows the remaining contractual maturities.
- a maturity analysis for derivative financial liabilities. The maturity analysis shall include the remaining contractual maturities for those derivative financial liabilities for which contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows (see paragraph B11B of IFRS 7).
- a description of how it manages the liquidity risk inherent in (a) and (b).
Transfers of financial assets
73 An entity may have transferred financial assets in such a way that part or all of the transferred financial assets do not qualify for derecognition. The entity shall disclose, at each reporting date, for each class of transferred financial assets that are not derecognised in their entirety:
- the nature of the transferred assets;
- the nature of the risks and rewards of ownership to which the entity is exposed; and
- when the entity continues to recognise all of the transferred assets, the carrying amounts of the transferred assets and the associated liabilities.
IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
74 Paragraphs 5–6 of IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities set out the scope of IFRS 12, that is, the interests in other entities to which the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 apply. An entity applying this Standard shall apply paragraphs 5–6 of IFRS 12 to determine the scope of the disclosure requirements in paragraphs 75–94 of this Standard. However:
- the reference in paragraph 5(b) of IFRS 12 to joint arrangements (that is, joint operations or joint ventures) shall be read by the entity as referring only to joint ventures;
- the phrase ‘except as described in paragraph B17’ in paragraph 5A of IFRS 12 shall be read as ‘except for the disclosures required by paragraph 89 of this Standard’;
- the reference in paragraph 6(b)(i) of IFRS 12 to the disclosure requirements in paragraphs 24–31 of IFRS 12 shall be read as referring to paragraphs 92–94 of this Standard; and

- the total fair value, as of the date of change of status, of the subsidiaries that cease to be consolidated;
- the total gain or loss, if any, calculated in accordance with paragraph B101 of IFRS 10; and
- the line item(s) in profit or loss in which the gain or loss is recognised (if not presented separately).
Interests in unconsolidated subsidiaries (investment entities)
84 An investment entity that, in accordance with IFRS 10, is required to apply the exception to consolidation and instead account for its investment in a subsidiary at fair value through profit or loss shall disclose that fact.
85 An investment entity shall disclose:
- the nature and extent of any significant restrictions (for example, resulting from borrowing arrangements, regulatory requirements or contractual arrangements) on the ability of an unconsolidated subsidiary to transfer funds to the investment entity in the form of cash dividends or to repay loans or advances made to the unconsolidated subsidiary by the investment entity; and
- any current commitments or intentions to provide financial or other support to an unconsolidated subsidiary, including commitments or intentions to assist the subsidiary in obtaining financial support.
86 If, during the reporting period, an investment entity or any of its subsidiaries has, without having a contractual obligation to do so, provided financial or other support to an unconsolidated subsidiary (for example, purchasing assets of, or instruments issued by, the subsidiary or assisting the subsidiary in obtaining financial support), the entity shall disclose:
- the type and amount of support provided to each unconsolidated subsidiary; and
- the reasons for providing the support.
87 An investment entity shall disclose the terms of any contractual arrangements that could require the entity or its unconsolidated subsidiaries to provide financial support to an unconsolidated, controlled, structured entity, including events or circumstances that could expose the reporting entity to a loss (for example, liquidity arrangements or credit rating triggers associated with obligations to purchase assets of the structured entity or to provide financial support).
Interests in joint ventures and associates
88 An entity shall disclose, for each joint venture and associate that is material to the reporting entity:
- whether the investment in the joint venture or associate is measured using the equity method or at fair value; and
- if the joint venture or associate is accounted for using the equity method, the fair value of its investment in the joint venture or associate, if there is a quoted market price for the investment.
89 An entity shall disclose, in aggregate, the carrying amount of its interests in joint ventures or associates accounted for using the equity method. An entity shall also disclose separately the aggregate amount of its share of those joint ventures’ or associates’:
- profit or loss from continuing operations; and
- post-tax profit or loss from discontinued operations.
90 An investment entity need not provide the disclosures required by paragraphs 88–89.
91 An entity shall disclose the total commitments it has made but not recognised at the reporting date (including its share of commitments made jointly with other investors with joint control of a joint venture) relating to its interests in joint ventures. Commitments may give rise to a future outflow of cash or other resources.
Interests in unconsolidated structured entities
92 If during the reporting period an entity has, without having a contractual obligation to do so, provided financial or other support to an unconsolidated structured entity in which it previously had or currently has an interest (for example, purchasing assets of, or instruments issued by, the structured entity), the entity shall disclose:

- the carrying amount of inventories pledged as security for liabilities.
IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows
Non-cash transactions
165 Investing and financing transactions that do not require the use of cash or cash equivalents shall be excluded from a statement of cash flows. An entity shall disclose such transactions elsewhere in the financial statements in a way that provides all the relevant information about these investing and financing activities.
Changes in liabilities arising from financing activities

Fair presentation and compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards
173 When an entity departs from a requirement of an IFRS Accounting Standard in accordance with paragraph 6E of IAS 8, it shall disclose:
- that management has concluded that the financial statements present fairly the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows;
- that it has complied with applicable IFRS Accounting Standards, except that it has departed from a particular requirement to achieve a fair presentation;
- the title of the IFRS Accounting Standard from which the entity has departed, the nature of the departure, including the treatment that the IFRS Accounting Standard would require, the reason why that treatment would be so misleading in the circumstances that it would conflict with the objective of financial statements set out in the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework), and the treatment adopted; and
- for each period presented, the financial effect of the departure on each item in the financial statements that would have been reported in complying with the requirement.
174 When an entity has departed from a requirement of an IFRS Accounting Standard in a prior reporting period, and that departure affects the amounts recognised in the financial statements for the current period, it shall make the disclosures set out in paragraph 173(c)–173(d).
175 In the extremely rare circumstances in which management concludes that compliance with a requirement in an IFRS Accounting Standard would be so misleading that it would conflict with the objective of financial statements set out in the Conceptual Framework, but the relevant regulatory framework prohibits departure from the requirement, the entity shall, to the maximum extent possible, reduce the perceived misleading aspects of compliance by disclosing:
- the title of the IFRS Accounting Standard in question, the nature of the requirement, and the reason why management has concluded that complying with that requirement is so misleading in the circumstances that it conflicts with the objective of financial statements set out in the Conceptual Framework; and

Examples of judgements that an entity may be required to disclose include how management determines:
- appropriate classes of assets and liabilities for which disclosures about fair value measurements are provided;
- that the entity has control of another entity;
- that the entity has joint control of an arrangement or significant influence over another entity;
- the type of joint arrangement (that is, a joint operation or joint venture) when the arrangement has been structured through a separate vehicle; and
- that the entity is an investment entity.
Disclosure of changes in accounting policies
178 When initial application of an IFRS Accounting Standard has an effect on the current period or any prior reporting period, would have such an effect except that it is impracticable to determine the amount of the adjustment, or might have an effect on future periods, an entity shall disclose (financial statements for subsequent periods need not repeat these disclosures):
- the title of the IFRS Accounting Standard;
- when applicable, that the change in accounting policy is made in accordance with its transitional provisions;
- the nature of the change in accounting policy;
- when applicable, a description of the transitional provisions;
- when applicable, the transitional provisions that might have an effect on future periods;

- for each financial statement line item affected; and
- if IAS 33 applies to the entity for basic and diluted earnings per share;
- the amount of the adjustment relating to periods before those presented, to the extent practicable; and
- if retrospective application required by paragraph 19(a) or 19(b) of IAS 8 is impracticable for a particular prior period, or for periods before those presented, the circumstances that led to the existence of that condition and a description of how and from when the change in accounting policy has been applied.
179 When a voluntary change in accounting policy has an effect on the current reporting period or any prior period, would have an effect on that period except that it is impracticable to determine the amount of the adjustment, or might have an effect on future periods, an entity shall disclose (financial statements for subsequent periods need not repeat these disclosures):
- the nature of the change in accounting policy;
- the reasons why applying the new accounting policy provides reliable and more relevant information;
- for the current period and each prior period presented, to the extent practicable, the amount of the adjustment:
- for each financial statement line item affected; and
- if IAS 33 applies to the entity, for basic and diluted earnings per share;
- the amount of the adjustment relating to periods before those presented, to the extent practicable; and
- if retrospective application is impracticable for a particular prior period, or for periods before those presented, the circumstances that led to the existence of that condition and a description of how and from when the change in accounting policy has been applied.
180 When an entity has not applied a new IFRS Accounting Standard that has been issued but is not yet effective, the entity shall disclose:
- this fact; and
- known or reasonably estimable information relevant to assessing the possible effect that applying the new IFRS Accounting Standard will have on the entity’s financial statements in the period of initial application.
181 In complying with paragraph 180, an entity considers disclosing:
- the title of the new IFRS Accounting Standard;
- the nature of the impending change or changes in accounting policy;
- the date by which application of the IFRS Accounting Standard is required;
- the date as at which it plans to apply the IFRS Accounting Standard initially; and
- either:
- a discussion of the impact that initial application of the IFRS Accounting Standard is expected to have on the entity’s financial statements; or
- if that impact is not known or reasonably estimable, a statement to that effect.
Disclosure of sources of estimation uncertainty
182 An entity shall disclose information about the assumptions it makes about the future, and other major sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. In respect of those assets and liabilities, the notes shall include details of:
- their nature; and
- their carrying amount as at the end of the reporting period.
183 The disclosures in paragraph 182 are not required for assets and liabilities with a significant risk that their carrying amounts might change materially within the next financial year if, at the end of the reporting period, they are measured at fair value based on a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability. Such fair values might change materially within the next financial year but these changes would not arise from assumptions or other sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period.
Changes in accounting estimates
184 An entity shall disclose the nature and amount of a change in an accounting estimate that has an effect in the current reporting period or is expected to have an effect in future periods, except for the disclosure of the effect on future periods when it is impracticable to estimate that effect.
185 If the amount of the effect in future periods is not disclosed because estimating it is impracticable, an entity shall disclose that fact.
Errors
186 In applying paragraph 42 of IAS 8, an entity shall disclose (financial statements for subsequent periods need not repeat these disclosures):
- the nature of the prior period error;
- for each prior period presented, to the extent practicable, the amount of the correction:
- for each financial statement line item affected; and
- if IAS 33 applies to the entity, for basic and diluted earnings per share;
- the amount of the correction at the beginning of the earliest prior period presented; and
- if retrospective restatement is impracticable for a particular prior period, the circumstances that led to the existence of that condition and a description of how and from when the error has been corrected.

199 In periods in which Pillar Two legislation is enacted or substantively enacted but not yet in effect, an entity shall disclose known or reasonably estimable qualitative and quantitative information about its exposure to Pillar Two income taxes at the end of the reporting period. This information does not have to reflect all the specific requirements of the Pillar Two legislation and can be provided in the form of an indicative range. To the extent information is not known or reasonably estimable, an entity shall instead disclose a statement to that effect and disclose information about the entity’s progress in assessing its exposure.

236 An entity shall disclose that related party transactions were made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s length transactions only if such terms can be substantiated.
237 Items of a similar nature may be disclosed in aggregate except when separate disclosure is necessary for an understanding of the effects of related party transactions on the financial statements of the entity.

Other disclosures
246 An entity shall disclose the information specified in (a)–(m) of this paragraph either in the interim financial statements or incorporated by cross-reference from the interim financial statements to some other statement (such as management commentary or risk report) that is available to users of the financial statements on the same terms as the interim financial statements and at the same time. If users of the financial statements do not have access to the information incorporated by cross-reference on the same terms and at the same time, the interim financial report is incomplete. The further information shall normally be reported on a financial year‑to‑date basis, and consists of:
- a statement that the same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements or, if those policies or methods have been changed, a description of the nature and effect of the change;

Disclosure of compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards
247 An entity whose interim financial report complies with IAS 34 and the requirements in paragraphs 1–19 and 243–249 shall make an explicit and unreserved statement of such compliance in the notes. An entity that applies this Standard shall, as part of that unreserved statement, state that it has applied IAS 34 and the requirements in paragraphs 1–19 and 243–249. An entity applying this Standard shall not describe an interim financial report as complying with IFRS Accounting Standards unless the entity complies with the requirements in this Standard and all applicable requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards.
Disclosure in annual financial statements
248 If an estimate of an amount reported in an interim period is changed significantly during the final interim period of the financial year but a separate financial report is not published for that final interim period, an entity shall disclose the nature and amount of that change in estimate in a note to the annual financial statements for that financial year.
Disclosure requirements in IAS 34 that remain applicable
249 An entity shall apply the disclosure requirements in paragraph 41 of IAS 34.
IAS 36 Impairment of Assets
250 An entity shall disclose, for each class of assets:
- the amount of impairment losses recognised in profit or loss during the period and the line item(s) of the statement of comprehensive income in which those impairment losses are included; and
- the amount of reversals of impairment losses recognised in profit or loss during the period and the line item(s) of the statement of comprehensive income in which those impairment losses are reversed.
251 A class of assets is a grouping of assets of similar nature and use in an entity’s operations.
252 An entity shall disclose, for a cash‑generating unit for which an impairment loss has been recognised or reversed during the period:
- a description of the cash‑generating unit (such as whether it is a product line, a plant, a business operation, a geographical area, or a reportable segment as defined in IFRS 8); and
- if the aggregation of assets for identifying the cash‑generating unit has changed since the previous estimate of the cash‑generating unit’s recoverable amount (if any), a description of the current and former way of aggregating assets and the reasons for changing the way the cash‑generating unit is identified.
253 If, in accordance with paragraph 84 of IAS 36, any portion of the goodwill acquired in a business combination during the period has not been allocated to a cash‑generating unit (group of units) at the end of the reporting period, the amount of the unallocated goodwill shall be disclosed together with the reasons why that amount remains unallocated.
Estimates used to measure recoverable amounts of cash‑generating units containing goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives
254 An entity shall disclose, for each cash-generating unit (group of units) for which the carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives allocated to that unit (group of units) is significant in comparison with the entity’s total carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives:
- the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the unit (group of units);
- the carrying amount of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives allocated to the unit (group of units);
- the basis on which the unit’s (group of units’) recoverable amount has been determined (that is, value in use or fair value less costs of disposal);
- if the unit’s (group of units’) recoverable amount is based on value in use:
- each key assumption on which management has based its cash flow projections for the period covered by the most recent budgets or forecasts. Key assumptions are those to which the unit’s (group of units’) recoverable amount is most sensitive;
- the growth rate used to extrapolate cash flow projections beyond the period covered by the most recent budgets or forecasts, and the justification for using any growth rate that exceeds the long‑term average growth rate for the products, industries, or country or countries in which the entity operates, or for the market to which the unit (group of units) is dedicated; and
- the discount rate(s) applied to the cash flow projections;
- if the unit’s (group of units’) recoverable amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal, the valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value less costs of disposal. An entity is not required to provide the disclosures required by paragraphs 95–97. If fair value less costs of disposal is not measured using a quoted price for an identical unit (group of units), an entity shall disclose:
- each key assumption on which management has based its determination of fair value less costs of disposal. Key assumptions are those to which the unit’s (group of units’) recoverable amount is most sensitive; and
- the level of the fair value hierarchy (see IFRS 13) within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety (without giving regard to the observability of costs of disposal); and
- if fair value less costs of disposal is measured using discounted cash flow projections:
- the growth rate used to extrapolate cash flow projections; and
- the discount rate(s) applied to the cash flow projections.
255 If some or all of the carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is allocated to multiple cash-generating units (groups of units), and the amount so allocated to each unit (group of units) is not significant in comparison with the entity’s total carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, that fact shall be disclosed, together with the aggregate carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives allocated to those units (groups of units). In addition, if the recoverable amounts of any of those units (groups of units) are based on the same key assumption(s) and the aggregate carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives allocated to them is significant in comparison with the entity’s total carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, an entity shall disclose that fact, together with:
- the aggregate carrying amount of goodwill allocated to those units (groups of units);
- the aggregate carrying amount of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives allocated to those units (groups of units); and
- a description of the key assumption(s).
256 The most recent detailed calculation made in a preceding period of the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit (group of units) may, in accordance with paragraph 24 of IAS 36 or paragraph 99 of IAS 36, be carried forward and used in the impairment test for that unit (group of units) in the current period, provided specified criteria are met. When this is the case, the information for that unit (group of units) that is incorporated into the disclosures required by paragraphs 254–255 relates to the carried forward calculation of recoverable amount.
IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
257 An entity shall disclose, for each class of provision (comparative information is not required):
- the carrying amount at the beginning and end of the reporting period;
- additional provisions made in the period, including increases to existing provisions;
- amounts used (incurred and charged against the provision) during the period;
- unused amounts reversed during the period; and
- the increase during the period in the discounted amount arising from the passage of time and the effect of any change in the discount rate.
258 An entity shall also disclose, for each class of provision (comparative information is not required):
- a brief description of the nature of the obligation and the expected timing of any resulting outflows of economic benefits;
- an indication of the uncertainties about the amount or timing of those outflows. Where necessary to provide adequate information, an entity shall disclose the major assumptions made concerning future events, as addressed in paragraph 48 of IAS 37; and
- the amount of any expected reimbursement, stating the amount of any asset that has been recognised for that expected reimbursement.
259 Unless the possibility of any outflow in settlement is remote, an entity shall disclose, for each class of contingent liability at the end of the reporting period, a brief description of the nature of the contingent liability and, where practicable:
- an estimate of its financial effect, measured under paragraphs 36–52 of IAS 37;
- an indication of the uncertainties relating to the amount or timing of any outflow; and
- the possibility of any reimbursement.
260 Where an inflow of economic benefits is probable, an entity shall disclose a brief description of the nature of the contingent assets at the end of the reporting period and, where practicable, an estimate of their financial effect, measured using the principles set out for provisions in paragraphs 36–52 of IAS 37.
261 Where any of the information required by paragraphs 259–260 is not disclosed because it is not practicable to do so, an entity shall state that fact.
262 In extremely rare cases, disclosure of some or all of the information required by paragraphs 257–260 can be expected to prejudice seriously the position of the entity in a dispute with other parties on the subject matter of the provision, contingent liability or contingent asset. In such cases, an entity need not disclose the information, but shall disclose the general nature of the dispute, together with the fact that, and reason why, the information has not been disclosed.
IAS 38 Intangible Assets
263 An entity shall disclose, for each class of intangible assets, distinguishing between internally generated intangible assets and other intangible assets:
- whether the useful lives are indefinite or finite and, if finite, the useful lives or the amortisation rates used;
- the amortisation methods used for intangible assets with finite useful lives;
- the gross carrying amount and any accumulated amortisation (aggregated with accumulated impairment losses) at the beginning and end of the reporting period;
- the line item(s) of the statement of comprehensive income in which any amortisation of intangible assets is included; and
- a reconciliation (comparative information is not required) of the carrying amount at the beginning and end of the period showing:

- impairment losses reversed in profit or loss during the period in accordance with IAS 36 (if any);
- any amortisation recognised during the period; and
- other changes in the carrying amount during the period.
264 An entity shall also disclose:
- for an intangible asset assessed as having an indefinite useful life, the carrying amount of that asset and the reasons supporting the assessment of an indefinite useful life. In giving these reasons, the entity shall describe the factor(s) that played a significant role in determining that the asset has an indefinite useful life;
- a description, the carrying amount and remaining amortisation period of any individual intangible asset that is material to the entity’s financial statements;
- for intangible assets acquired by way of a government grant and initially recognised at fair value (see paragraph 44 of IAS 38):
- the fair value initially recognised for these assets;

266 An entity shall disclose the aggregate amount of research and development expenditure recognised as an expense during the reporting period.
IAS 40 Investment Property
Fair value and cost model
267 The disclosures in paragraphs 268–271 apply in addition to those required for leases in paragraphs 115–127.

268 An entity shall disclose:
- whether it applies the fair value model or the cost model;
- the extent to which the fair value of investment property (as measured or disclosed in the financial statements) is based on a valuation by an independent valuer who holds a recognised and relevant professional qualification and has recent experience in the location and category of the investment property being valued. If there has been no such valuation, that fact shall be disclosed;
- the cumulative change in fair value recognised in profit or loss on a sale of investment property from a pool of assets in which the cost model is used into a pool in which the fair value model is used (see paragraph 32C of IAS 40);
- the existence and amounts of restrictions on the realisability of investment property or the remittance of income and proceeds of disposal; and

- other changes.
270 In the exceptional cases referred to in paragraph 53 of IAS 40, when an entity measures investment property using the cost model in IAS 16 or in accordance with IFRS 16, the reconciliation required by paragraph 269 shall disclose amounts relating to that investment property separately from amounts relating to other investment property. In addition, an entity shall disclose:
- a description of the investment property; and
- an explanation of why fair value cannot be measured reliably.
Cost model
271 In addition to the disclosures required by paragraph 268, an entity that applies the cost model in paragraph 56 of IAS 40 shall disclose:

Appendix A—Effective date and transition
This Appendix is an integral part of the Standard.
A1 An entity may elect to apply this Standard for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. Earlier application is permitted. If an entity chooses to apply this Standard earlier, it shall disclose that fact. In accordance with paragraph 14, if an entity applies this Standard in the current reporting period but not in the immediately preceding period, it shall provide comparative information (that is, information for the preceding period) for all amounts reported in the current period’s financial statements, unless this Standard or another IFRS Accounting Standard permits or requires otherwise.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
A2 IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, issued in April 2024, supersedes IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 applies to annual reporting periods beginning 1 January 2027 and earlier application is permitted.
A3 An entity that elects to apply this Standard for a reporting period earlier than the reporting period in which it first applies IFRS 18 shall apply paragraphs B2–B19 of Appendix B instead of paragraphs 128–141 and 160–163 (under subheading IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements), 173–177 and 182–183 (under subheading IAS 8 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements) and 246(m) (under subheading IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting).

If an entity applies this Standard for an annual reporting period that begins before 1 January 2026 and has not applied the amendments to the Application Guidance to Section 4.1 of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Classification of financial assets) for that earlier period, it need not apply paragraphs 56A–56C.
Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures

Appendix B—Disclosure requirements if an entity applies IFRS 19 before applying IFRS 18
This Appendix is an integral part of the Standard.
B1 An entity that elects to apply this Standard for a reporting period earlier than the reporting period in which it first applies IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements shall apply paragraphs B2–B19 instead of paragraphs 128–163 (under subheading IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements), 173–177 and 182–183 (under subheading IAS 8 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements) and 246(m) (under subheading of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting). IFRS 18 supersedes IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. Paragraphs B2–B19 set out disclosure requirements for an entity applying IAS 1 and this Standard.
Fair presentation and compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards
B2 When an entity departs from a requirement of an IFRS Accounting Standard in accordance with paragraph 19 of IAS 1, it shall disclose:
B3 When an entity has departed from a requirement of an IFRS Accounting Standard in a prior reporting period, and that departure affects the amounts recognised in the financial statements for the current period, it shall make the disclosures set out in paragraph B2(c) and B2(d).
B4 In the extremely rare circumstances in which management concludes that compliance with a requirement in an IFRS Accounting Standard would be so misleading that it would conflict with the objective of financial statements set out in the Conceptual Framework, but the relevant regulatory framework prohibits departure from the requirement, the entity shall, to the maximum extent possible, reduce the perceived misleading aspects of compliance by disclosing:
Change in accounting policy, retrospective restatement or reclassification
B5 When an entity is required to present an additional statement of financial position in accordance with paragraph 40A of IAS 1, it must disclose the information required by paragraphs B6–B7, 178–181 and 186. However, it need not present the related notes to the opening statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period.
B6 If an entity changes the presentation or classification of items in its financial statements, it shall reclassify comparative amounts unless reclassification is impracticable. When an entity reclassifies comparative amounts, it shall disclose (including as at the beginning of the preceding period):
B7 When it is impracticable to reclassify comparative amounts, an entity shall disclose:
Right to defer settlement of liabilities for at least 12 months
B8 In applying paragraphs 69–75 of IAS 1, an entity might classify liabilities arising from loan arrangements as non-current when the entity’s right to defer settlement of those liabilities is subject to the entity complying with covenants within 12 months after the reporting period (see paragraph 72B(b) of IAS 1). In such situations, the entity shall disclose:
Information to be presented either in the statement of financial position or in the notes
B9 An entity shall either present in the statement of financial position or disclose in the notes further subclassifications of these line items:
B10 An entity shall either present in the statement of financial position or the statement of changes in equity, or disclose in the notes:
B11 An entity without share capital, such as a partnership or trust, shall disclose information equivalent to that required by paragraph B10(a) showing changes during the period in each category of equity interest, and the rights, preferences and restrictions attaching to each category of equity interest.
Statement of changes in equity
B12 An entity shall either present in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes the amount of dividends recognised as distributions to owners during the period (in aggregate or per share), separately for ordinary shares and other shares.
Disclosure of accounting policy information
B13 An entity shall disclose material accounting policy information.
B14 An entity shall disclose, along with material accounting policy information or other notes, the judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see paragraph B15), that management has made in the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. Examples of judgements that an entity may be required to disclose include those determining:
Sources of estimation uncertainty
B15 An entity shall disclose information about the assumptions it makes about the future, and other major sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. In respect of those assets and liabilities, the notes shall include details of:
B16 The disclosures in paragraph B15 are not required for assets and liabilities with a significant risk that their carrying amounts might change materially within the next financial year if, at the end of the reporting period, they are measured at fair value based on a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability. Such fair values might change materially within the next financial year but these changes would not arise from assumptions or other sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period.
Other disclosures
B17 An entity shall disclose in the notes:
B18 An entity shall disclose, if not disclosed elsewhere in information published with the financial statements:
Disclosure requirements in IAS 1 that remain applicable
B19 An entity shall apply the disclosure requirements in paragraphs 15, 17(c), 25, 31, 36, 51, 53, 92, 94, 99, 103, 106(d), 110, 112 and 113 of IAS 1.

For all grants of equity instruments to which IFRS 2 has not been applied (eg equity instruments granted on or before 7 November 2002), a first-time adopter shall nevertheless disclose the information required by paragraphs 44 and 45 of IFRS 2. An entity applying IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures shall instead disclose the information required by paragraph 31 of IFRS 19.
