The ED proposes to amend IAS 1 to require entities to disclose only their ‘material’ accounting policies, as opposed to their ‘significant’ accounting policies, in line with the new definition of materiality, which focuses on whether information could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by users of the entity’s financial statements.
Explanatory paragraphs will also be added to IAS 1 and Practice Statement 2 to help entities determine whether accounting policies are material. Practice Statement 2 will also include worked examples.
The comment period is open until 29 November 2019. The exposure draft is available on the IASB’s website.
