IASB publishes IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
- Required categories and sub-totals in the statement of profit or loss: items of income and expense will be classified into operating, financing, investing, income tax or discontinued operations categories. This classification will depend on a combination of an assessment of the entity’s main business activities and certain accounting policy choices.
- Required sub-totals in the statement of profit or loss: based on an entity’s application of the classification requirements as described in #1, certain sub-totals will be required to be presented in financial statements, such as operating profit. The operating profit sub-total is now defined in IFRS 18.
- Labelling, aggregation and disaggregation: expanded requirements for labelling, aggregation and disaggregation of information in financial statements.
- Narrow scope changes to the statement of cash flows: revised requirements for how the statement of cash flow will be presented, including the classification of interest and dividend cash flows.
- Management-defined performance measures: the requirement for certain entities to include ‘management-defined performance measures’ (i.e. alternative performance measures, ‘non-GAAP measures’, etc.) in their financial statement notes, with reconciliations to the nearest IFRS-compliant sub-total. For example, ‘adjusted profit or loss’ reconciled to profit or loss.
