It is intended to help entities to prepare and present financial statements in accordance with IFRS by identifying the potential disclosures required. In addition, it includes the minimum disclosures required in the financial statements of a first- time adopter of IFRS. Impact of the major IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 new standards IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers are effective for the first time for entities with an annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Applying the new standards is expected to significantly affect the disclosures included in the financial statements. – Disclosure of the nature and effect of changes in accounting policies: Entities are required to describe the nature and effect of initially applying the new standards. This will involve applying the transition disclosures in IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (as introduced by IFRS 9) and IFRS 15, as well as the general disclosure requirements in paragraph 28 of IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, when applicable. Disclosures may differ depending on the transition method chosen by the entity. For example, entities applying IFRS 15 under the full retrospective method are required to follow the disclosure requirements in IAS 8, whereas those applying the cumulative effect method are exempted from providing the disclosures required by paragraph 28(f) of IAS 8 but are required to provide the disclosures included in paragraph C8 of IFRS 15 instead. In addition, when entities choose not to restate comparative information they may need to separately disclose their significant accounting policies for previous periods presented. – Ongoing disclosures: Entities are required to provide new ‘business as usual’ disclosures that are included in IFRS 7 (as introduced by IFRS 9) and IFRS 15. For revenue from contracts with customers, these include disaggregation of revenue and information on contract balances, performance obligations, and significant judgements in the application of the standard. For financial instruments, these include information on investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income, and new or expanded disclosures about credit risk and hedge accounting. Our publication Guides to annual financial statements – Illustrative disclosures illustrates one possible way of providing these disclosures. IFRS 16 Users and regulators have shown a growing interest in the possible impact of IFRS 16 Leases, which has been issued but is not effective until 1 January 2019. As a consequence, significant focus is expected on the pre-transition disclosures about the possible impact of IFRS 16 that are required under IAS 8. Regulators have communicated their expectation that, as the implementation of the new standard progresses, more information about its impact should become reasonably estimable and preparers will be able to provide progressively more entity-specific qualitative and quantitative information in their financial statements about the application of the new standard.

The quality and clarity of explanations of changes in accounting policies and their impacts are key. Investors and other stakeholders will be keenly interested in disclosures of key judgements and estimates. What else is new A number of other standards are also effective for the first time in 2018 (see Appendix I ‘New standards or amendments for 2018 and forthcoming in 2018? requirements’). These standards include transition requirements and some of them have new disclosures that are required in annual financial statements. These requirements and disclosures, if there are any, are included in this guide. Standards covered This guide is based on standards, amendments and interpretations (broadly referred to in this guide as ‘standards’) that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the Board) as at 15 August 2018. The main text in Sections 1–5 is based on the standards that are required to be applied by an entity with an annual reporting period beginning on 1 January 2018 (‘currently effective requirements’). This guide also contains the following. – Chapter 6 ‘Voluntary early adoption of IFRSs’: Identifies disclosure requirements based on standards that are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after 1 January 2018 (‘forthcoming requirements’) and that are available for voluntary early adoption. – Appendix II ‘Requirements relevant to insurers that apply the temporary exemption from IFRS 9’: Identifies disclosure requirements for financial instruments based on IFRS 7 and other relevant disclosure requirements before the amendments introduced by IFRS 9. This guide contains disclosure requirements only. It does not specify the scope of individual standards referred to or their recognition and measurement requirements. Nor does it cover IAS 26 Accounting and Reporting by Retirement Benefit Plans or IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The disclosures required by IAS 34 are set out in our Guide to condensed interim financial statements – Disclosure checklist. In addition, IFRS and its interpretation change over time. Accordingly, this guide should not be used as a substitute for referring to the standards and other relevant interpretative guidance. Preparers should also consider applicable local legal and regulatory requirements. This guide does not consider the requirements of any particular jurisdiction. Need for judgement This guide is part of our suite of publications – Guides to financial statements – and specifically focuses on compliance with IFRS. The preparation and presentation of financial statements require the preparer to exercise judgement – e.g. in terms of the choice of accounting policies, the ordering of notes to the financial statements, how the disclosures should be tailored to reflect the reporting entity’s specific circumstances, and the relevance of disclosures considering the needs of users.

In September 2017, the Board issued IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements, which also provides guidance on applying materiality in the preparation of financial statements. Materiality is relevant to the presentation and disclosure of the items in the financial statements.
