​The endorsement by the European Commission of Amendments to IAS 28: Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures is now reflected in the Endorsement Status Report.


​The European Union has published a Commission Regulation endorsing Amendments to IAS 28: Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures. The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

The Amendments clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments to financial instruments in an associate or joint venture to which the equity method is not applied. These include long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the entity's net investment in an associate or joint venture.
