Overview of New IFRS Accounting Standards for 2024
In 2024, two new IFRS accounting standards, IFRS 18 and IFRS 19, are scheduled for release. IFRS 18 focuses on presentation and disclosure in financial statements, aiming to enhance transparency and comparability for investors. It introduces changes in categories and subtotals for profit or loss statements, requiring more detailed disclosures about management-defined performance measures and improved aggregation and disaggregation of financial information.
Key Changes in IFRS 18 Compared to IS 1
IFRS 18 will bring significant changes compared to IS 1, primarily in three areas. It introduces new categories and subtotals in profit or loss statements to enhance comparability. Companies will need to disclose management-defined performance measures in a single note to improve understanding. The standard also sets guidelines for grouping financial information to meet presentation and disclosure requirements effectively.
Expected Release and Compliance Dates for IFRS 18
IFRS 18 is expected to be issued in April 2024, with an effective date of January 1, 2027. This standard will require comprehensive changes to systems and reporting processes, including adjustments to various financial components and enhanced disclosure practices. Companies are advised to prepare for these changes well in advance to ensure a smooth transition and compliance with the new requirements.
Seven years since the IASB issued its most recent Standard (IFRS 17), 2024 is set to be the year of IFRS 18 and IFRS 19. And that 's not all. This month Laura is joined by Marie Kling and Netta Mikkilä to take a look at the IASB's standard-setting agenda for the year.
