IFRS 18 was issued in April 2024 and applies to an annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2027. The Standard includes requirements for all entities applying IFRS for the presentation and disclosure of information in financial statements. It replaces the first IAS (now IFRS) Standard to be published, IAS 1, where these general requirements were included in the past.
The objective of IFRS 18 is to set out requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in general-purpose financial statements to help ensure they provide relevant information that faithfully represents an entity’s assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. [IFRS 18.1] It applies to all financial statements that are prepared and presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Standards for recognising, measuring, and disclosing specific transactions are addressed in other Standards and Interpretations.
IFRS 18 sets out rules for aggregation and disaggregation, offsetting, what has to be presented in the primary financial statements (such as profit and loss statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity) and what can go into the notes (disclosures) of financial statements. The requirements cover the content and structure of the primary financial statements. For the notes, the structure is defined and certain general requirements are included in the Standard.
