Current Webinar: The New Era of Financial Reporting: Navigating the Strategic Imperatives of IFRS 18
Event Code : 20261021

Highlights

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. IFRS 18 replaces the existing IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and introduces the following three sets of new requirements to improve entities’ reporting of financial performance and give investors a better basis for analysing and comparing entities:

• Subtotal in the statement of profit or loss;
• Management-defined performance measures; and 
• Grouping of information. 

All stakeholders in all industries that apply HKFRS/IFRS Accounting Standards will be impacted by this new standard. The changes introduced by IFRS 18 will affect how entities present and disclose information in the financial statements, the information available to investors, and the extent of information subject to assurance by auditors. Entities have to act now to prepare for the implementation. This webinar will provide an overview of IFRS 18 and cover the key aspects of the new requirements, as well as other practical challenges that may be faced by reporting entities.
 

NOTE: No video playback will be available.
