Eye on Reporting | October 2021 Edition

Back to Eye on Reporting

Welcome to EY Eye on Reporting newsletter, providing you with the latest insights in financial reporting.

This month's issue includes the following:

  • The Financial Sector (Climate-related Disclosures and Other Matters) Amendment Bill was passed in October 2021, which requires certain entities, to be known as Climate Reporting Entities (CREs), to make mandatory disclosures regarding the climate risks and opportunities of their businesses. The XRB is developing climate reporting standards for the new regime and has recently issued its consultation document. Comments close on 22 November 2021. You can find more details here.
  • A recent IFRIC tentative agenda decision (TAD) clarifies the accounting for cash received via an electronic transfer system which can take up to three days to transfer. Entities may need to reconsider their accounting for cash transfers if the TAD is finalised.
  • We have released the alternative format of our latest international IFRS illustrative financial statements for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2021 which reorganised the presentation of information and allows users to identify relevant information more easily.
  • We have also released the new IFRS accounting standards and interpretations publication issued as at 30 September 2021.
