This publication discusses the new requirements in IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which replaces IAS 1.
IFRS 18 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. It introduces several new requirements that are expected to impact the presentation and disclosure of most, if not all, entities. These include:
- The requirement to classify all income and expenses into specified categories and provide specified totals and subtotals in the statement of profit or loss.
- Enhanced guidance on the aggregation, location and labelling of items across the primary financial statements and the notes.
- Mandatory disclosures about management-defined performance measures (a subset of alternative performance measures).
IFRS 18 also makes consequential amendments to other accounting standards, including IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, IAS 33 Earnings per Share and IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements.
This edition replaces Applying IFRS 18, July 2025, and includes:
- New illustrations and frequently asked questions arising out of discussions in practice, covering a range of issues relating to all aspects of the new requirements in IFRS 18
- Updates to reflect IFRS Interpretation Committee agenda decisions regarding the application of IFRS 18
