IAS 1 sets out overall requirements for
presenting financial statements, guidelines for
their structure and minimum requirements for
content.
the nature and amount of economic resources
(and claims) is useful because different types of
resources affect a users assessment of the
entitys prospects for future cash flows

Introduction
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
A complete set of financial statements comprises a
statement of financial position, statement of profit or
loss and comprehensive income, statement of
changes in equity, statement of cash flows & notes
(paragraph 10).
Refer to the Implementation Guidance to IAS 1 in
Part B.
Financial statements must present fairly the
financial position, financial performance and cash
flows of an entity (paragraph 15).
complying with IFRSs (with additional disclosures)
is presumed to result in a fair presentation.

Financial Statements
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
General features
(paragraphs 2546)
Going concern
financial statements may only be prepared on this basis if
management assess that this is appropriate
Accrual basis of accounting
Materiality
Each material class of similar items is presented separately
Dissimilar items are presented separately, unless they are
immaterial
Materiality is determined by the potential of the information, or its
omission, to influence economic decisions made by users of the
financial statements
Materiality is entity specific


5
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Examplesmateriality decisions
Is the error material?
Ex 1: Before its 20X8 FS approved for
issue discovered depreciation expense for
20X8 overstated by CU150. Ignored the
error (reported profit for 20X8 at
CU600,000, ie understated by CU150).
Ex 2: Same as Ex 1, except had the error
been corrected the entity would have
breached a borrowing covenant on a
significant long-term liability.

or classifications of items
Consistency of presentation
retain the presentation and classification of items unless
IFRS requires a change or due to changes in an entitys
operations another alternative would be more
appropriate.

Current/non-current distinction
Presentation of current and non current assets
and liabilities as separate classifications on the
Statement of Financial Position
The distinction is based on:
timing of realisation or settlement of the asset or
liability
primary purpose for holding the asset or liability

entitles (but does not oblige) the bank to
require immediate repayment.

At 31/12/20X7 the loan is a current
liabilityat 31/12/20X7 A does not have
an unconditional right to defer settlement
for at least 12 months.

Comparison to the IFRS for SMEs
Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation,
Section 4 Statement of Financial Position,
Section 5 Statement of Comprehensive Income and
Income Statement, Section 6 Statement of
Changes in Equity and Statement of Income and
Retained Earnings and Section 8 Notes to the
Financial Statements provide information similar to
that contained in IAS 1.
The IFRS for SMEs simplifies presentation and
does not require the following:
presentation of operating segments information
presentation of EPS

18
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Comparison to the IFRS for SMEs
Retrospective restatement in full IFRSs requires
presentation of three statements of financial position.
The IFRS for SMEs requires only two.

The IFRS for SMEs permits an entity to present a
statement of income and retained earnings in place of
the statement of comprehensive income and statement
of changes in equity if the only changes to its equity
during the periods for which financial statements are
presented arise from profit or loss, payment of
dividends, corrections of prior period errors, and
changes in accounting policy (see paragraph 3.18).
This option does not exist in full IFRSs.
19
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Comparison to the IFRS for SMEs
The IFRS for SMEs has only three items of other
comprehensive income (OCI)translating the financial
statements of a foreign operation, some changes in fair
values of hedging instruments and actuarial gains and
losses of defined benefit plans. Full IFRSs have more
items of comprehensive income (eg gains on the
revaluation of property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets).
If the entity that applies full IFRSs classifies its
expenses by function, it is also required to disclose
information on the nature of expenses. The IFRS for
SMEs does not explicitly require these additional
disclosures of expenses by nature.

20
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Preparing financial statements requires judgement
and the use of estimates (eg materiality judgements
and going concern assessmentswhen it is
doubtful whether the entity has no realistic
alternative but to liquidate).
IAS 1 requires disclosure of:
judgements that management has made in the
process of applying the entitys accounting
policies that have the most significant effect
Information about major sources of estimation
uncertainty.

21
Judgement and Estimates
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org

IAS 7
Statement of Cash Flows
K

IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
IAS 7 requires disclosures about the historical
changes in cash and cash equivalents of an entity
(refer to the Illustrative Examples to IAS 7 in Part B
for illustrative disclosure).
That information helps users to:
assess the entitys ability to generate future net
cash inflows. It indicates how the reporting entity
obtains and spends cash.
understand a reporting entitys operations, evaluate
its financing and investing activities, assess its
liquidity or solvency and interpret other information
about financial performance.
24
Introduction
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Cash flows are classified by activities:
operating; investing; and financing.
Investing activities are the acquisition and
disposal of long-term assets and investments
that are not cash equivalents (paragraph 16).
Financing activities are changes in the equity
capital and borrowings of the entity (paragraph
17).
Operating activities are the revenue-producing
activities of the entity, and all activities that are
not investing or financing.

25
Classification of activities
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
26
Example 1
In 20X7 A acquires 50% of the equity of B for
CU110 when Bs cash and cash equivalents =
CU10. From 1/1/20X7 A controls B (ie B is a
subsidiary of A)
Scenarios
(i) A settles the purchase price in cash
(ii) A buys on credit (will settle next year)
(iii) A settles by issuing its own equity to the
seller
(iv) A borrows CU110 from the bank and uses
cash borrowed to settle
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
27
Example 1 continued
The group (A & B consolidated) would present
a cash flow in the investing activities section
for the purchase of a subsidiary of:
scenario (i) CU100 outflow (ie CU110 less
CU10)
scenario (ii) CU10 inflow
scenario (iii) CU10 inflow
scenario (iv) CU100 outflow (in investing
activities) & CU110 inflow in financing
activities
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
There is a choice of ways of presenting cash
flows from operating activities (paragraph18):
the direct methodgross cash receipts and
gross cash payments are shown
(paragraph 19). This method is encouraged.
the indirect methodprofit or loss is
adjusted to determine operating cash flow
(paragraph 20).
28
Direct method or indirect method
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Other considerations
Reporting on a net basis
paragraph 22 illustrates cash flows that may be
reported on a net basis (ie cash receipts from items
with a quick turnover)
Foreign currency cash flows (paragraphs 25 28)
recorded in an entitys functional currency.
translation may give rise to exchange differences.
Interest and dividends
disclosed separately and presentation must be
consistent from period to period (ie which activity)
29
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Other considerations continued
Income taxes
Separate disclosure as an operating activity unless
specifically identified as another
Investments in group entities
Equity method: limited to cash flows between itself
and the investee
Changes in ownership interest in subsidiaries
Gross cash flows from gaining or losing control is
an investing activity
Specific disclosure requirements (paragraph 40 and
Note A in the Illustrative Example to IAS 7 in Part B)
30
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Comparison to the IFRS for SMEs
IFRS for SMEs does not explicitly:
encourage entities to report cash flows from
operating activities using the direct method (see
paragraph 19 of IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows,).
require the reporting of particular cash flows on a
net basis (see paragraph 22 IAS 7 Statement of
Cash Flows).
31
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
The appropriate classification of cash flows into
each one of the activities reflects
managements judgement.
The information conveyed by a statement of
cash flows depends on the items treated as
cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents
have a short maturity (three months at most)
and exclude equity investments.

IAS 8
Accounting Policies, Changes in
Accounting Estimates and Errors
K

IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
IAS 8 sets out the criteria for selecting and
changing accounting policies and specifies the
accounting when an accounting policy is
changed.
focus is on providing relevant and comparable
information in a cost-beneficial manner.
It also specifies disclosures about changes in
accounting policies, changes in accounting
estimates and corrections of prior period errors.
34
Introduction
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
35 Accounting Policies
Disclose relating to accounting policies:
measurement bases used
other relevant accounting policies used
information about judgements made in
applying accounting policies that have
the most significant effect on the FS
information about key sources of
estimation uncertainty that have a
significant risk of causing a material
adjustment within 1 year (including their
nature and carrying amount)

IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Examples:
Whether outflow is more likely than not re
a present obligation = recognise a
liability?
Whether a lease transfers substantially all
risks and rewards of ownership = finance
or operating lease?
When risks and rewards transfer for
goods sold = when to recognise revenue?
Whether arrangement = sales of goods or
financing?
Whether controls exists = whether to
consolidate?
Judgements
applying accounting policies
36
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
When no IFRS requirement specifically applies
to a transaction or event, management uses
judgement to develop and apply an accounting
policy that results in relevant and reliable
information (paragraph 10). In making that
judgement management considers (paragraphs
11 and 12):
first, IFRSs that deal with similar issues
then the definitions, recognition criteria and
measurement concepts in the Framework
optionalcurrent standards based on a similar
conceptual framework.
37
Accounting policy when no
specific requirement
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
May only change policy if required to or resulting
information would be more relevant and reliable.
A new or amended standard or interpretation may
require a change in an accounting policy and may
include specific transitional provisions (paragraph
19(a)).
In other cases, changes in accounting policies are
applied retrospectively (ie prior period amounts are
adjusted as if the new policy had always been
applied) (paragraph 19(b)).
Disclosure is made about the change and its effect
on the financial statementsrefer to paragraph 22.
38
Changes in an accounting policies
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
39
Example 1voluntary change of
accounting policy
In 20X7 A voluntarily changed an
accounting policy. The cumulative effect of
the change is a decrease of CU100,000 in
retained earnings at 1/1/20X7 (ie CU25,000
less profit for each of the past four years).
The entity presents two years of
comparative information.
Presented as a restatement of:
retained earnings at 1/1/20X5reduce by
CU50,000
profit 20X5 & 20X6reduce by CU25,000
each

Example 2voluntary change of
accounting policy
Facts same as Ex 1. Except, it is impracticable
to determine the individual period effects of the
change of policy.

additional disclosures
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Many items in financial statements cannot be
measured with precision and can only be
estimated.
Accounting estimates are based on the latest
available information.
estimates are revised as a result of new
information or changed circumstances.
Consequently, a change in estimate is
recognised in the current period and future
periods affected (paragraph 36).
prior period amounts are not adjusted.
41
Accounting estimates
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org

Examplechange in accounting
estimate
On 1/1/20X1 A buys yacht for CU1,000,000.
Useful life = 30 years. Residual value =
CU100,000. Straight-line method of
depreciation.
At 31/12/20X9, as a result of research in 20X9,
A reassessed the yacht as follows: useful life at
20 years from 1/1/20X1; residual value at nil;
fair value at CU800,000; and straight-line
depreciation as most appropriate method.

IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
43
Examplechange in accounting
estimate continued
The reassessment of the yachts useful life and
its residual value are changes in accounting
estimates. The revised assessments are
appropriately made on the basis of new
information that arose from research performed
in the current reporting period20X9.*
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Errors can arise from mistakes and oversights
or misinterpretations of available information.
Errors are corrected in the first set of financial
statements issued after their discovery.
Prior period amounts are restated as if the error
had never occurred.
The error and the effect of its correction on the
financial statements are disclosed.
44
Errors
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
45
Exampleprior period error or change
in estimate, or both?
Same as Ex on slide 42, except, the research
was publicly available in late 20X5. A believed
the research to be valid but chose to ignore it
until 20X9.
As 20X520X8 financial statements include
errors. The comparative figures in its 20X9
financial statements must be restated to
correct the effects of the prior period errors [if
material].
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Comparison to the IFRS for SMEs
IAS 8 and Section 10 Accounting Policies,
Estimates and Errors of the IFRS for SMEs share
the same principles.
However, the hierarchy applied in the absence of
an explicit requirement is different.
46
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Developing an accounting policy in the absence
of a specific IFRS requirement requires
judgement.
As a result of the uncertainties inherent in
business activities, many items in financial
statements are estimated. Estimation involves
judgements based on the latest available,
reliable information.
Disclosing known or reasonably estimable
effects of the application of a new, but not yet
effective, IFRS will have on the entity.

47
Judgements and estimates
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
An entity may voluntarily change an accounting
policy only if the change will leads to reliable
and more relevant informationdetermining
whether this is the case involves judgement
When correcting prior-period errors judgement
must be applied. For example in determining
whether the prior period error is material
whether is it practicable to determine the
period-specific effects of an error on
comparative information

IAS 10
Events after the Reporting Period
K

IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Specifies accounting and reporting for events
(favourable and unfavourable) that occur
between the end of the reporting period and the
date when the financial statements are
authorised for issue.
Those events could affect a users resource
allocation decision even if they are indicative of
conditions that arose after the end of the
reporting period.
How to report the event depends on whether
the event is indicative of a condition that existed
at the end of the reporting period.
50
Introduction
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Adjust financial statements for those events
after the reporting period that provide evidence
of conditions that existed at the end of the
reporting period.
For examplesettling a court case after the
end of the reporting period confirms the
existence of the present obligation at the
end of the reporting period and removes
uncertainties about the amount of the
obligation.
Further examples are contained in
paragraph 9.
51
Principle for adjusting events
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Do not adjust recognised amounts for
conditions that are indicative of conditions that
arose after the end of the reporting period
Dividends declared after the reporting period
are not a liability at the end of the reporting
period because, at that time, there is no
obligation.
However, disclose the nature and estimated
financial effect of non-adjusting events
For example, changes in the market value of
investments or effects of changes in currency
exchange rates after the reporting period.
52
Principle for non-adjusting events
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
53
Exampleevents after the end of the
reporting period
At 31/12/20X7 when performing its year-end
physical stock count management
observed the entitys inventory in its newly
constructed warehouse was undamaged.
In early January 20X8 much of the entitys
inventory in its warehouse was damaged by
rain water that poured through a gaping
crack in the warehouse wall. The crack first
became visible in January 20X8.
Discussion questionare the events
described above adjusting or non-adjusting
events after the end of the reporting period?
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Comparison to the IFRS for SMEs
IAS 10 and Section 32 Events after the End
of the Reporting Period of the IFRS for
SMEs share the same principles.

54
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Judging the materiality threshold for the
disclosure of non-adjusting eventssuch as a
major business combination or disposal, a plan
to discontinue an operation, fire affecting a
major production plant, changes in tax rates or
tax laws enacted or announced after the
reporting period.
Events after the reporting period may require an
assessment of the applicability of the going
concern assumption at reporting date.

Non-current Assets Held for
Sale and Discontinued
Operations

IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Introduction
Information about an entitys non-current assets
held for sale and its discontinuing operations
assists users assess the amount, timing and
uncertainty of (the prospects for) future net cash
inflows to the entity which is useful to them in
making decisions about providing resources to the
entity.
Non-current assets held for sale are to be
recovered through proceeds from sale (not use)
no future cash flows from discontinued
operations


57
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
The standard comprises classification and presentation
requirements and measurement provisions (note
measurement scope exclusions in paragraph 5).
A non-current assets is classified as held for sale if its
carrying amount will be recovered principally through a
sale transaction, rather than through continuing use
(paragraph 6).
Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the
lower of fair value less costs to sell and carrying amount
they are not depreciated (paragraph 15).
Non-current assets held for sale or disposal groups are
presented separately as current assets on the
statement of financial position. Associated liabilities
presented separately from other liabilities (paragraph
38). Refer to IFRS 5 IG: Example 12 in Part B.
58
Non-current assets held for sale
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
A discontinued operation is a component of an
entity that either has been disposed of or is
classified as held for sale (paragraph 32).
The component must be a major line of
business, a geographical area of operations, or
a subsidiary that was acquired exclusively for
resale.
Discontinued operations are presented
separately within profit or loss in the statement
of comprehensive income and the statement of
cash flows (paragraph 33).
Refer to IFRS 5 IG: Example 11 in Part B.
59
Discontinued operations
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Comparison to the IFRS for SMEs
Section 17 Property, Plant and Equipment
(paragraph 26) and Section 27 Impairment of
Assets (paragraph 9(f)) deal with items of property,
plant and equipment held for sale
A plan to dispose of such items is an indicator of
impairment which triggers an impairment test.
Unlike full IFRS, the IFRS for SMEs no other
specific classification, presentation or measurement
requirements.
60
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
The classification of an asset as held for sale
is based on actions taken by management
before the end of the reporting period and
managements expectation that a sale will be
achieved.
The asset must be available for immediate sale
in its present condition (subject only to terms
that are usual and customary for sales of such
assets).
The sale must be highly probable (appropriate
management commitment, actively seeking a
buyer, reasonable price, 12 month limit).

operations or both. Their products and services, or
the geographical areas in which they operate, may
differ in profitability, future prospects and risks.
Consequently, segment information might be more
relevant than consolidated or aggregated data for
users in assessing risks and returns of an entity.
Standard applies to entities or groups with
publically traded debt or equity or whose financial
statements are filed with a securities commission or
regulatory organisation (paragraph 2).

Introduction
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
IFRS 8 requires disclosure of information about
an entitys operating segments, its products and
services, the geographical areas in which it
operates, and its major customers.
This information assists users to evaluate the
entitys business activities and the environment
in which it operates. That assists users to
better assess the prospects for future net cash
inflows to the entity which is useful in making
decisions about providing resources to the
entity.
65
Introduction continued
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Operating segments are components of an entity about
which discrete financial information is available and
which the chief operating decision maker regularly
evaluates in deciding how to allocate resources and in
assessing performance (paragraph 5).
The financial information reported is the same as the
chief operating decision maker (a function, not a title)
uses.
the measure of each operating segment must be the one used
by the chief operating decision maker (paragraph 25).
Providing information through the eyes of management
enhances a user's ability to predict actions or reactions
of management that can significantly affect the entitys
prospects for future cash flows.
66
Identifying operating segments
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
Information must be reported for all operating segments
identified.
If operating segments exhibit similar long-term financial
performance and have similar economic characteristics
such segments may be aggregated for reporting
purposes (paragraph 12).
Certain operating segments may not form part of
aggregated information and must be presented
separately. Determination of such segments is based
on quantitative thresholds (paragraph 13).
Refer to IFRS 8 IG 7 in Part B for a diagram illustrating
the main provisions for identifying reportable operating
segments.

Reportable operating segments
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
IFRS 8.2024
An entity must give descriptive information about:
the way the operating segments were determined
the products and services provided by the
segments
differences between the measurements used in
reporting segment information and those used in
the entitys financial statements
changes in the measurement of segment
amounts from period to period.
68
Disclosure
IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
An entity must report a measure of operating
segment profit or loss and of segment assets.
It must also report a measure of segment
liabilities and particular income and expense
items.
An entity must report information about the
revenues derived from its products or services,
about the countries in which it earns revenues
and holds assets, and about major customers.

Related Party Disclosures
K

IFRS Foundation | 30 Cannon Street | London EC4M 6XH | UK. www.ifrs.org
The standard is applied to determine related party
relationships, identify outstanding balances
between such parties and the identification of when
and what disclosure is necessary.
Related party disclosures highlight the possibility
that the entitys financial position and profit or loss
might have been affected by the existence of
related parties and by transactions and outstanding
balances with such parties.
Related party disclosures could affect a users
resource allocation decision based on the entitys
financial statements.

This Standard provides a partial exemption from
the disclosure requirements for government
related entities in relation to related party
transactions with:
a government that has control, joint control or
significant influence over the reporting entity; and
another entity that is a related party because the
same government has control, joint control or

(paragraph 33.2(vii)(x) differs from IAS 24.9 (vii))
the concept of significant voting power is specific
to Section 33
disclosure has been simplified in Section 33

Identifying related partiesfocus on substance of a
relationship rather than merely its legal form.
Identifying the degree of influence exerted by one
party on the other (ie control or significant
influence).
identifying key management personnel depends on
the level of authority and responsibility and may
include seconded staff and people engaged under
outsourcing contracts.
identifying close members of the family of a key
management personnel involves judging whether
that person is expected to influence (or be
influenced by) by that person in their dealing with
the entity.
