IFRS 18 Presentation Disclosure in Financial Statements

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has been diligently addressing concerns raised by investors regarding the comparability and transparency of reporting entities’ income statements. Notably, inconsistencies in financial performance disclosure have led to challenges in assessing the true financial health of entities operating within similar sectors. To address this matter, the IASB initiated a comprehensive project to replace the existing IAS 1 standard with the upcoming IFRS 18, titled “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements.” The changes expected from IFRS 18 will impact how companies present and disclose information, improve the quality of information available to stakeholders, and broaden the scope of information subject to assurance and enforcement.
