Does the impending change to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting affect you?
In May 2018 the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) released a consultation paper resulting from the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB) ongoing drive to revise and update the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting.
The revised conceptual framework (RCF) will include a revised definition of the “reporting entity”. As a result, SAC1 Definition of the reporting entity, which is currently adopted in Australia, will be removed. As some entities struggle to decide if they are a reporting or a non-reporting entity, the revised framework will bring consistency to financial reporting by removing the option of preparing special purpose financial statements (SPFS).
