1. IASB proposes an update to the IFRS Accounting Taxonomy for IFRS 18
IFRS 18 (Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements) aims to improve financial reporting through adequate disclosure and provide better communication of financial performance to investors. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) proposes to amendthe IFRS Accounting Taxonomy for the presentation and disclosure requirement in IFRS 18. Since the comparability of information plays a pivotal role in investors’ understanding of financial performance, IASB proposes amendments to facilitate the comparability and analysis of tagged information.
The proposed changes include the following:
- Line-item modelling for conveying category information (such as operating, investing, financing) for the statement of profit or loss; and
- Dimensional modelling for tagging disclosures on management-defined performance measures (MPMs) and specified expenses by nature, as these link to information in the statement of profit or loss.
The comments on this proposal can be sent by 3rd September 2024.
