03/03/2022 - EFRAG Endorsement Status Report - Update

​The endorsement by the European Commission of Amendments to IAS 1 on disclosure of accounting policies and IAS 8 on definition of accounting estimates are now reflected in the Endorsement Status Report.


​The European Union has published a Commission Regulation endorsing Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies  as well as Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates . The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023

The Amendments revise IAS 1 to require entities to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies. To support this amendment, the IASB also amended IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements to explain the application of the materiality concept to accounting policy disclosures.  The Amendments also revise IAS 8 to replace the definition of a change in accounting estimates with a definition of accounting estimates and provide other clarifications to help entities distinguish accounting policies from accounting estimates.
