IFRB 2026/03 IFRS 18 - the clock is ticking - practical effects on financial reporting
BDO has published IFRB 2026/03 IFRS 18 – The clock is ticking: practical effects on financial reporting.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which supersedes IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. IFRS 18 will significantly affect how entities present and explain financial performance, even though it does not change recognition and measurement requirements.
BDO’s IFRB 2026/03 uses practical scenarios to illustrate how the new requirements may affect operating profit, classification of income and expenses, aggregation and disaggregation, cash flow presentation, management-defined performance measures and related disclosures. The publication highlights the necessity of early assessment of effects of IFRS 18, as its implementation may require changes to systems, processes, performance metrics, covenants and external communications.
