IASB proposes new approach to disclosure requirements

IASB ED/2021/3 cover

Applies to:


For-profit


The IASB has developed a new approach to developing disclosure requirements in standards. The new approach responds to concerns that the notes to the financial statements sometimes include too little relevant information, too much irrelevant information or ineffective communication. The new approach is intended to help entities in making decisions about what information to disclose rather than using a ‘checklist’ or ‘boilerplate’ approach.

The IASB ED Disclosure Requirements in IFRS Standards—A Pilot Approach seeks feedback on the new approach and the application of new approach to the disclosure requirements in two standards– IAS 19 Employee Benefits and IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. The IASB wants to know if the new approach would help improve the usefulness of information disclosed.

For more information on the proposals and how to provide feedback, follow the link below.

Send your comments to the NZASB by 1 September 2021 and to the IASB by 21 October 2021.
