MFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
On 14 June 2024, MFRS 18 ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements’ was issued to replace MFRS 101 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’. MFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with earlier application permitted. Some key changes introduced by the new MFRS are:
- requiring defined categories (i.e. operating, investing and financing) and subtotals in the statement of profit or loss;
- requiring disclosures about management-defined performance measures; and
- adding new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information
