Chapter 2
Summary of Disclosures Under IFRS Standards

To many, IFRS is all about disclosures. The insertion of the words “financial reporting” in place of “accounting” in the erstwhile International Accounting Standards was intended to send out a message that accounting is passé, financial reporting is in. Financial reporting in essence means disclosures. The disclosure requirements in IFRS are, to say the least, intense. Apart from the disclosure requirements mentioned in most Standards, IFRS has Standards exclusively for disclosures: IAS 24 Related Party Transactions, IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 8 Operating Segments and IFRS 11 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities are examples. However, it has to be mentioned that the disclosure requirements in other Standards are equally intense: IAS 36 requires extensive disclosures to be made when an asset tests positive for impairment. In stark contrast, the disclosure requirements required by IAS 23 Borrowing Costs are mentioned only in about four paragraphs. The mantra for an entity moving over to an IFRS world will be “just disclose it.”

A summary of the disclosure requirements in major IFRS Standards is provided here. A disclaimer has to be made here – the list is by no means exhaustive since some paragraphs in IFRS Standards draw references to other IFRS Standards. An entity doing IFRS for the first time would do well do develop a detailed checklist for disclosures. There are quite a few available online but it would be ideal to get one done internally because it just seems like the right thing to do.

2.1 IFRS 3 Business Combinations

The acquirer shall disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effect of a business combination that occurs either:

  1. during the current reporting period; or
  2. after the end of the reporting period but before the financial statements are authorised for issue.

The acquirer shall disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate the financial effects of adjustments recognised in the current reporting period that relate to business combinations that occurred in the period or previous reporting periods.

2.2 IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts

An entity need not apply the disclosure requirements in this IFRS to comparative information that relates to annual periods beginning before 1 January 2005, except for the disclosures about accounting policies, and recognised assets, liabilities, income and expense (and cash flows if the direct method is used).

If it is impracticable to apply a particular requirement to comparative information that relates to annual periods beginning before 1 January 2005, an entity shall disclose that fact. Applying the liability adequacy test to such comparative information might sometimes be impracticable, but it is highly unlikely to be impracticable to apply other requirements to such comparative information. IAS 8 explains the term “impracticable.”

An entity need not disclose information about claims development that occurred earlier than five years before the end of the first financial year in which it applies this IFRS. Furthermore, if it is impracticable, when an entity first applies this IFRS, to prepare information about claims development that occurred before the beginning of the earliest period for which an entity presents full comparative information that complies with this IFRS, the entity shall disclose that fact.

2.3 IFRS 5 Non-Current Assets Held for Sale

An entity shall disclose the following information in the notes in the period in which a non-current asset (or disposal group) has been either classified as held for sale or sold:

  1. a description of the non-current asset (or disposal group);
  2. a description of the facts and circumstances of the sale, or leading to the expected disposal, and the expected manner and timing of that disposal;
  3. the gain or loss recognised and, if not separately presented in the statement of comprehensive income, the caption in the statement of comprehensive income that includes that gain or loss;
  4. if applicable, the reportable segment in which the non-current asset (or disposal group) is presented in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments.

If applicable, an entity shall disclose, in the period of the decision to change the plan to sell the non-current asset (or disposal group), a description of the facts and circumstances leading to the decision and the effect of the decision on the results of operations for the period and any prior periods presented.

2.4 IFRS 6 Evaluation and Exploration of Mineral Resources

An entity shall disclose information that identifies and explains the amounts recognised in its financial statements arising from the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources.

An entity shall disclose:

  1. its accounting policies for exploration and evaluation expenditures including the recognition of exploration and evaluation assets;
  2. the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense and operating and investing cash flows arising from the exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources.

An entity shall treat exploration and evaluation assets as a separate class of assets and make the disclosures required by either IAS 16 or IAS 38 consistent with how the assets are classified.

2.5 IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures

The two main categories of disclosures required by IFRS 7 are:

  1. information about the significance of financial instruments; and
  2. information about the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments.

2.5.1 Information About the Significance of Financial Instruments

2.5.1.1 Statement of Financial Position

Disclose the significance of financial instruments for an entity's financial position and performance. This includes disclosures for each of the following categories:

  • financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss, showing separately those held for trading and those designated at initial recognition;
  • held-to-maturity investments;
  • loans and receivables;
  • available-for-sale assets;
  • financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, showing separately those held for trading and those designated at initial recognition; and
  • financial liabilities measured at amortised cost.
Other Balance Sheet-Related Disclosures
  • Special disclosures about financial assets and financial liabilities designated to be measured at fair value through profit and loss, including disclosures about credit risk and market risk, changes in fair values attributable to these risks and the methods of measurement.
  • Reclassifications of financial instruments from one category to another (e.g. from fair value to amortised cost or vice versa).
  • Information about financial assets pledged as collateral and about financial or non-financial assets held as collateral.
  • Reconciliation of the allowance account for credit losses (bad debts) by class of financial assets.
  • Information about compound financial instruments with multiple embedded derivatives.
  • Breaches of terms of loan agreements.

2.5.1.2 Statement of Comprehensive Income

  • Items of income, expense, gains, and losses, with separate disclosure of gains and losses from:
    • financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss, showing separately those held for trading and those designated at initial recognition,
    • held-to-maturity investments,
    • loans and receivables,
    • available-for-sale assets,
    • financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss, showing separately those held for trading and those designated at initial recognition,
    • financial liabilities measured at amortised cost.
Other Income Statement-Related Disclosures
  • Total interest income and total interest expense for those financial instruments that are not measured at fair value through profit and loss.
  • Fee income and expense.
  • Amount of impairment losses by class of financial assets.
  • Interest income on impaired financial assets.

2.5.1.3 Other Disclosures

  • Accounting policies for financial instruments.
  • Information about hedge accounting, including:
    • description of each hedge, hedging instrument, and fair values of those instruments, and nature of risks being hedged,
    • for cash flow hedges, the periods in which the cash flows are expected to occur, when they are expected to enter into the determination of profit or loss, and a description of any forecast transaction for which hedge accounting had previously been used but which is no longer expected to occur.
  • If a gain or loss on a hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge has been recognised in other comprehensive income, an entity should disclose the following:
    • the amount that was so recognised in other comprehensive income during the period,
    • the amount that was removed from equity and included in profit or loss for the period,
    • the amount that was removed from equity during the period and included in the initial measurement of the acquisition cost or other carrying amount of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability in a hedged highly probable forecast transaction.
  • For fair value hedges, information about the fair value changes of the hedging instrument and the hedged item.
  • Hedge ineffectiveness recognised in profit and loss (separately for cash flow hedges and hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation).
  • Information about the fair values of each class of financial asset and financial liability, along with:
    • comparable carrying amounts,
    • description of how fair value was determined,
    • the level of inputs used in determining fair value,
    • reconciliations of movements between levels of fair value measurement hierarchy additional disclosures for financial instruments whose fair value is determined using level 3 inputs including impacts on profit and loss, other comprehensive income and sensitivity analysis,
    • information if fair value cannot be reliably measured.
  • The fair value hierarchy introduces three levels of inputs based on the lowest level of input significant to the overall fair value:
    • Level 1 – quoted prices for similar instruments,
    • Level 2 – directly observable market inputs other than Level 1 inputs,
    • Level 3 – inputs not based on observable market data,
  • Disclosure of fair values is not required when the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value, such as short-term trade receivables and payables, or for instruments whose fair value cannot be measured reliably.

2.5.2 Nature and Extent of Exposure to Risks Arising From Financial Instruments

2.5.2.1 Qualitative Disclosures

The qualitative disclosures describe:

  • risk exposures for each type of financial instrument;
  • management's objectives, policies, and processes for managing those risks; and
  • changes from the prior period.

2.5.2.2 Quantitative Disclosures

The quantitative disclosures provide information about the extent to which the entity is exposed to risk, based on information provided internally to the entity's key management personnel. These disclosures include:

  • summary quantitative data about exposure to each risk at the reporting date
  • disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk and how these risks are managed as further described below
  • concentrations of risk.

2.5.2.3 Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a loss for the other party by failing to pay for its obligation.

Disclosures about credit risk include:

  • maximum amount of exposure (before deducting the value of collateral), description of collateral, information about credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired, and information about credit quality of financial assets whose terms have been renegotiated
  • for financial assets that are past due or impaired, analytical disclosures are required
  • information about collateral or other credit enhancements obtained or called.

2.5.2.4 Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will have difficulties in paying its financial liabilities.

Disclosures about liquidity risk include:

  • a maturity analysis of financial liabilities
  • description of approach to risk management.

2.5.2.5 Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk reflects interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risks.

Disclosures about market risk include:

  • a sensitivity analysis of each type of market risk to which the entity is exposed;
  • additional information if the sensitivity analysis is not representative of the entity's risk exposure (for example because exposures during the year were different to exposures at year-end).

IFRS 7 provides that if an entity prepares a sensitivity analysis such as value-at-risk for management purposes that reflects interdependencies of more than one component of market risk (for instance, interest risk and foreign currency risk combined), it may disclose that analysis instead of a separate sensitivity analysis for each type of market risk

2.5.2.6 Transfers of Financial Assets

An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its financial statements:

  • to understand the relationship between transferred financial assets that are not derecognised in their entirety and the associated liabilities;
  • to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, the entity's continuing involvement in derecognised financial assets;
  • transferred financial assets that are not derecognised in their entirety;
  • required disclosures include description of the nature of the transferred assets, nature of risk and rewards as well as description of the nature and quantitative disclosure depicting relationship between transferred financial assets and the associated liabilities;
  • transferred financial assets that are derecognised in their entirety;
  • required disclosures include the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities recognised, fair value of the assets and liabilities that represent continuing involvement, maximum exposure to loss from the continuing involvement as well as maturity analysis of the undiscounted cash flows to repurchase the derecognised financial assets;
  • additional disclosures are required for any gain or loss recognised at the date of transfer of the assets, income or expenses recognise from the entity's continuing involvement in the derecognised financial assets as well as details of uneven distribution of proceed from transfer activity throughout the reporting period.

Note: The above disclosure requirements do not take into consideration the additional disclosure requirements of IFRS 9.

2.6 IFRS 8 Segment Reporting

An entity shall disclose information to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and the economic environments in which it operates.

An entity shall disclose the following for each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is presented:

  1. general information as described,
  2. information about reported segment profit or loss, including specified revenues and expenses included in reported segment profit or loss, segment assets, segment liabilities and the basis of measurement,
  3. reconciliations of the totals of segment revenues, reported segment profit or loss, segment assets, segment liabilities and other material segment items to corresponding entity amounts.

Reconciliations of the amounts in the statement of financial position for reportable segments to the amounts in the entity's statement of financial position are required for each date at which a statement of financial position is presented. Information for prior periods shall be restated.

2.6.1 General Information

An entity shall disclose the following general information:

  1. factors used to identify the entity's reportable segments, including the basis of organisation (for example, whether management has chosen to organise the entity around differences in products and services, geographical areas, regulatory environments, or a combination of factors and whether operating segments have been aggregated);
  2. the judgements made by management in applying the aggregation criteria. This includes a brief description of the operating segments that have been aggregated in this way and the economic indicators that have been assessed in determining that the aggregated operating segments share similar economic characteristics; and
  3. types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues.

2.6.2 Information About Profit or Loss, Assets and Liabilities

An entity shall report a measure of profit or loss for each reportable segment. An entity shall report a measure of total assets and liabilities for each reportable segment if such amounts are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. An entity shall also disclose the following about each reportable segment if the specified amounts are included in the measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, or are otherwise regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, even if not included in that measure of segment profit or loss:

  1. revenues from external customers;
  2. revenues from transactions with other operating segments of the same entity;
  3. interest revenue;
  4. interest expense;
  5. depreciation and amortisation;
  6. material items of income and expense disclosed in accordance with IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (as revised in 2007);
  7. the entity's interest in the profit or loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for by the equity method;
  8. income tax expense or income; and
  9. material non-cash items other than depreciation and amortisation.

An entity shall report interest revenue separately from interest expense for each reportable segment unless a majority of the segment's revenues are from interest and the chief operating decision maker relies primarily on net interest revenue to assess the performance of the segment and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment. In that situation, an entity may report that segment's interest revenue net of its interest expense and disclose that it has done so.

An entity shall disclose the following about each reportable segment if the specified amounts are included in the measure of segment assets reviewed by the chief operating decision maker or are otherwise regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, even if not included in the measure of segment assets:

  1. the amount of investment in associates and joint ventures accounted for by the equity method; and
  2. the amounts of additions to non-current assets1 other than financial instruments, deferred tax assets, net defined benefit assets (see IAS 19 Employee Benefits) and rights arising under insurance contracts.

2.7 IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

2.7.1 Significant Judgements and Assumptions

An entity discloses information about significant judgements and assumptions it has made (and changes in those judgements and assumptions) in determining:

  • that it controls another entity;
  • that it has joint control of an arrangement or significant influence over another entity;
  • the type of joint arrangement (i.e. joint operation or joint venture) when the arrangement has been structured through a separate vehicle.

2.7.2 Interests in Subsidiaries

An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its consolidated financial statements to:

  • understand the composition of the group;
  • understand the interest that non-controlling interests have in the group's activities and cash flows;
  • evaluate the nature and extent of significant restrictions on its ability to access or use assets, and settle liabilities, of the group;
  • evaluate the nature of, and changes in, the risks associated with its interests in consolidated structured entities,
  • evaluate the consequences of changes in its ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control; and
  • evaluate the consequences of losing control of a subsidiary during the reporting period.

2.7.3 Interests in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

In accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, an investment entity is required to apply the exception to consolidation and instead account for its investment in a subsidiary at fair value through profit or loss.

Where an entity is an investment entity, IFRS 12 requires additional disclosure, including:

  • the fact that the entity is an investment entity;
  • information about significant judgements and assumptions it has made in determining that it is an investment entity, and specifically where the entity does not have one or more of the “typical characteristics” of an investment entity;
  • details of subsidiaries that have not been consolidated (name, place of business, ownership interests held);
  • details of the relationship and certain transactions between the investment entity and the subsidiary (e.g. restrictions on transfer of funds, commitments, support arrangements, contractual arrangements); and
  • information where an entity becomes, or ceases to be, an investment entity.

2.7.4 Interests in Joint Arrangements and Associates

An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate:

  • the nature, extent and financial effects of its interests in joint arrangements and associates, including the nature and effects of its contractual relationship with the other investors with joint control of, or significant influence over, joint arrangements and associates; and
  • the nature of, and changes in, the risks associated with its interests in joint ventures and associates.

2.7.5 Interests in Unconsolidated Structured Entities

An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to:

  • understand the nature and extent of its interests in unconsolidated structured entities; and
  • evaluate the nature of, and changes in, the risks associated with its interests in unconsolidated structured entities.

2.8 IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

An entity shall disclose information that helps users of its financial statements assess both of the following:

  1. For assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis in the statement of financial position after initial recognition, the valuation techniques and inputs used to develop those measurements.
  2. For recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), the effect of the measurements on profit or loss or other comprehensive income for the period.

An entity shall consider all the following:

  1. the level of detail necessary to satisfy the disclosure requirements;
  2. how much emphasis to place on each of the various requirements;
  3. how much aggregation or disaggregation to undertake; and
  4. whether users of financial statements need additional information to evaluate the quantitative information disclosed.

If the disclosures provided in accordance with this IFRS and other IFRSs are insufficient to meet the objectives, an entity shall disclose additional information necessary to meet those objectives.

An entity shall disclose, at a minimum, the following information for each class of assets and liabilities measured at fair value (including measurements based on fair value within the scope of this IFRS) in the statement of financial position after initial recognition:

  1. For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, the fair value measurement at the end of the reporting period, and for non-recurring fair value measurements, the reasons for the measurement. Recurring fair value measurements of assets or liabilities are those that other IFRSs require or permit in the statement of financial position at the end of each reporting period. Non-recurring fair value measurements of assets or liabilities are those that other IFRSs require or permit in the statement of financial position in particular circumstances (e.g. when an entity measures an asset held for sale at fair value less costs to sell in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations because the asset's fair value less costs to sell is lower than its carrying amount).
  2. For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurements are categorised in their entirety (Level 1, 2 or 3).
  3. For assets and liabilities held at the end of the reporting period that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the reasons for those transfers and the entity's policy for determining when transfers between levels are deemed to have occurred. Transfers into each level shall be disclosed and discussed separately from transfers out of each level.
  4. For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements categorised within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in the fair value measurement. If there has been a change in valuation technique (e.g. changing from a market approach to an income approach or the use of an additional valuation technique), the entity shall disclose that change and the reason(s) for making it. For fair value measurements categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, an entity shall provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement. An entity is not required to create quantitative information to comply with this disclosure requirement if quantitative unobservable inputs are not developed by the entity when measuring fair value (e.g. when an entity uses prices from prior transactions or third-party pricing information without adjustment). However, when providing this disclosure an entity cannot ignore quantitative unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement and are reasonably available to the entity.

For recurring fair value measurements categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, a reconciliation from the opening balances to the closing balances, disclosing separately changes during the period attributable to the following:

  1. Total gains or losses for the period recognised in profit or loss, and the line item(s) in profit or loss in which those gains or losses are recognised.
  2. Total gains or losses for the period recognised in other comprehensive income, and the line item(s) in other comprehensive income in which those gains or losses are recognised.
  3. Purchases, sales, issues and settlements (each of those types of changes disclosed separately).
  4. The amounts of any transfers into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the reasons for those transfers and the entity's policy for determining when transfers between levels are deemed to have occurred. Transfers into Level 3 shall be disclosed and discussed separately from transfers out of Level 3.

A narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs to a different amount might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. If there are interrelationships between those inputs and other unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, an entity shall also provide a description of those interrelationships and of how they might magnify or mitigate the effect of changes in the unobservable inputs on the fair value measurement. To comply with that disclosure requirement, the narrative description of the sensitivity to changes in unobservable inputs shall include, at a minimum, the unobservable inputs disclosed when complying with (d).

For financial assets and financial liabilities, if changing one or more of the unobservable inputs to reflect reasonably possible alternative assumptions would change fair value significantly, an entity shall state that fact and disclose the effect of those changes. The entity shall disclose how the effect of a change to reflect a reasonably possible alternative assumption was calculated. For that purpose, significance shall be judged with respect to profit or loss, and total assets or total liabilities, or, when changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income, total equity.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, if the highest and best use of a non-financial asset differs from its current use, an entity shall disclose that fact and why the non-financial asset is being used in a manner that differs from its highest and best use.

An entity shall determine appropriate classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the following:

  1. the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability; and
  2. the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised.

The number of classes may need to be greater for fair value measurements categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because those measurements have a greater degree of uncertainty and subjectivity. Determining appropriate classes of assets and liabilities for which disclosures about fair value measurements should be provided requires judgement. A class of assets and liabilities will often require greater disaggregation than the line items presented in the statement of financial position. However, an entity shall provide information sufficient to permit reconciliation to the line items presented in the statement of financial position. If another IFRS specifies the class for an asset or a liability, an entity may use that class in providing the disclosures required in this IFRS if that class meets these requirements.

An entity shall disclose and consistently follow its policy for determining when transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred. The policy about the timing of recognising transfers shall be the same for transfers into the levels as for transfers out of the levels. Examples of policies for determining the timing of transfers include the following:

  1. the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer;
  2. the beginning of the reporting period; and
  3. the end of the reporting period.

For each class of assets and liabilities not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value is disclosed, an entity shall disclose the information required. However, an entity is not required to provide the quantitative disclosures about significant unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For such assets and liabilities, an entity does not need to provide the other disclosures required by this IFRS.

For a liability measured at fair value and issued with an inseparable third-party credit enhancement, an issuer shall disclose the existence of that credit enhancement and whether it is reflected in the fair value measurement of the liability.

An entity shall present the quantitative disclosures required by this IFRS in a tabular format unless another format is more appropriate.

2.9 IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts

IFRS 14 sets out disclosure objectives to allow users to assess:

  • the nature of, and risks associated with, the rate regulation that establishes the price(s) the entity can charge customers for the goods or services it provides – including information about the entity's rate-regulated activities and the rate-setting process, the identity of the rate regulator(s), and the impacts of risks and uncertainties on the recovery or reversal of regulatory deferral balance accounts; and
  • the effects of rate regulation on the entity's financial statements – including the basis on which regulatory deferral account balances are recognised, how they are assessed for recovery, a reconciliation of the carrying amount at the beginning and end of the reporting period, discount rates applicable, income tax impacts and details of balances that are no longer considered recoverable or reversible.

2.10 IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The objective of the disclosure requirements is for an entity to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. To achieve that objective, an entity shall disclose qualitative and quantitative information about all of the following:

  1. its contracts with customers;
  2. the significant judgements, and changes in the judgements, made in applying this Standard to those contracts; and
  3. any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer.

An entity shall consider the level of detail necessary to satisfy the disclosure objective and how much emphasis to place on each of the various requirements. An entity shall aggregate or disaggregate disclosures so that useful information is not obscured by either the inclusion of a large amount of insignificant detail or the aggregation of items that have substantially different characteristics.

An entity need not disclose information in accordance with this Standard if it has provided the information in accordance with another Standard.

2.10.1 Contracts with Customers

An entity shall disclose all of the following amounts for the reporting period unless those amounts are presented separately in the statement of comprehensive income in accordance with other Standards:

  1. revenue recognised from contracts with customers, which the entity shall disclose separately from its other sources of revenue; and
  2. any impairment losses recognised (in accordance with IFRS 9) on any receivables or contract assets arising from an entity's contracts with customers, which the entity shall disclose separately from impairment losses from other contracts.

2.10.2 Disaggregation of Revenue

An entity shall disaggregate revenue recognised from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

In addition, an entity shall disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the relationship between the disclosure of disaggregated revenue (and revenue information that is disclosed for each reportable segment, if the entity applies IFRS 8 Operating Segments.

2.10.3 Contract Balances

An entity shall disclose all of the following:

  1. the opening and closing balances of receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers, if not otherwise separately presented or disclosed;
  2. revenue recognised in the reporting period that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period; and
  3. revenue recognised in the reporting period from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods (for example, changes in transaction price).

An entity shall explain how the timing of satisfaction of its performance obligations relates to the typical timing of payment and the effect that those factors have on the contract asset and the contract liability balances. The explanation provided may use qualitative information.

An entity shall provide an explanation of the significant changes in the contract asset and the contract liability balances during the reporting period. The explanation shall include qualitative and quantitative information. Examples of changes in the entity's balances of contract assets and contract liabilities include any of the following:

  1. changes due to business combinations;
  2. cumulative catch-up adjustments to revenue that affect the corresponding contract asset or contract liability, including adjustments arising from a change in the measure of progress, a change in an estimate of the transaction price (including any changes in the assessment of whether an estimate of variable consideration is constrained) or a contract modification;
  3. impairment of a contract asset;
  4. a change in the time frame for a right to consideration to become unconditional (i.e. for a contract asset to be reclassified to a receivable); and
  5. a change in the time frame for a performance obligation to be satisfied (i.e. for the recognition of revenue arising from a contract liability).

2.10.4 Performance Obligations

An entity shall disclose information about its performance obligations in contracts with customers, including a description of all of the following:

  1. when the entity typically satisfies its performance obligations (for example, upon shipment, upon delivery, as services are rendered or upon completion of service), including when performance obligations are satisfied in a bill-and-hold arrangement;
  2. the significant payment terms (for example, when payment is typically due, whether the contract has a significant financing component, whether the consideration amount is variable and whether the estimate of variable consideration is typically constrained);
  3. the nature of the goods or services that the entity has promised to transfer, highlighting any performance obligations to arrange for another party to transfer goods or services (i.e. if the entity is acting as an agent);
  4. obligations for returns, refunds and other similar obligations; and
  5. types of warranties and related obligations.

2.10.5 Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

An entity shall disclose the following information about its remaining performance obligations:

  1. the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of the end of the reporting period; and
  2. an explanation of when the entity expects to recognise as revenue the amount disclosed which the entity shall disclose in either of the following ways:
    1. on a quantitative basis using the time bands that would be most appropriate for the duration of the remaining performance obligations; or
    2. by using qualitative information.

As a practical expedient, an entity need not disclose the information for a performance obligation if either of the following conditions is met:

  1. the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less; or
  2. the entity recognises revenue from the satisfaction of the performance obligation.

An entity shall explain qualitatively whether it is applying the practical expedient and whether any consideration from contracts with customers is not included in the transaction price and, therefore, not included in the information disclosed. For example, an estimate of the transaction price would not include any estimated amounts of variable consideration that are constrained.

2.10.6 Significant Judgements in the Application of this Standard

An entity shall disclose the judgements, and changes in the judgements, made in applying this Standard that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers. In particular, an entity shall explain the judgements, and changes in the judgements, used in determining both of the following:

  1. the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations; and
  2. the transaction price and the amounts allocated to performance obligations.

2.10.7 Determining the Timing of Satisfaction of Performance Obligations

For performance obligations that an entity satisfies over time, an entity shall disclose both of the following:

    1. The amount by which the unit's (group of units') recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.
    2. The value assigned to the key assumption.

    1. the amount by which the aggregate of the units' (groups of units') recoverable amounts exceeds the aggregate of their carrying amounts,
    2. the value(s) assigned to the key assumption(s), and
    3. the amount by which the value(s) assigned to the key assumption(s) must change, after incorporating any consequential effects of the change on the other variables used to measure recoverable amount, in order for the aggregate of the units' (groups of units') recoverable amounts to be equal to the aggregate of their carrying amounts.

2.31 IAS 40 Investment Property

The disclosures mandated by IAS 40 are as below:

  • Whether it applies the fair value model or the cost model.
  • If it applies the fair value model, whether, and in what circumstances, property interests held under operating leases are classified and accounted for as investment property.
  • When classification is difficult, the criteria it uses to distinguish investment property from owner-occupied property and from property held for sale in the ordinary course of business.
  • The extent to which the fair value of investment property (as measured or disclosed in the financial statements) is based on a valuation by an independent valuer who holds a recognised and relevant professional qualification and has recent experience in the location and category of the investment property being valued. If there has been no such valuation, that fact shall be disclosed.
  • The amounts recognised in profit or loss for:
    1. rental income from investment property,
    2. direct operating expenses (including repairs and maintenance) arising from investment property that generated rental income during the period,
    3. direct operating expenses (including repairs and maintenance) arising from investment property that did not generate rental income during the period, and
    4. (iv) the cumulative change in fair value recognised in profit or loss on a sale of investment property from a pool of assets in which the cost model is used into a pool in which the fair value model is used.

An entity that applies the fair value model shall disclose a reconciliation between the carrying amounts of investment property at the beginning and end of the period, showing the following:

  1. additions, disclosing separately those additions resulting from acquisitions and those resulting from subsequent expenditure recognised in the carrying amount of an asset;
  2. additions resulting from acquisitions through business combinations;
  3. assets classified as held for sale or included in a disposal group classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 and other disposals;
  4. net gains or losses from fair value adjustments;
  5. the net exchange differences arising on the translation of the financial statements into a different presentation currency, and on translation of a foreign operation into the presentation currency of the reporting entity;
  6. transfers to and from inventories and owner-occupied property; and
  7. other changes.

When a valuation obtained for investment property is adjusted significantly for the purpose of the financial statements, for example to avoid double-counting of assets or liabilities that are recognised as separate assets and liabilities, the entity shall disclose a reconciliation between the valuation obtained and the adjusted valuation included in the financial statements, showing separately the aggregate amount of any recognised lease obligations that have been added back, and any other significant adjustments.

In the exceptional cases when an entity measures investment property using the cost model in IAS 16, the reconciliation shall disclose amounts relating to that investment property separately from amounts relating to other investment property. In addition, an entity shall disclose:

  1. the existence and amounts of restrictions on the realisability of investment property or the remittance of income and proceeds of disposal;
  2. contractual obligations to purchase, construct or develop investment property or for repairs, maintenance or enhancements;
  3. if possible, the range of estimates within which fair value is highly likely to lie; and
  4. on disposal of investment property not carried at fair value:
    1. the fact that the entity has disposed of investment property not carried at fair value,
    2. the carrying amount of that investment property at the time of sale, and
    3. the amount of gain or loss recognised.

2.31.1 Cost Model

An entity that applies the cost model shall disclose:

  1. the depreciation methods used;
  2. the useful lives or the depreciation rates used;
  3. the gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation (aggregated with accumulated impairment losses) at the beginning and end of the period;
  4. a reconciliation of the carrying amount of investment property at the beginning and end of the period, showing the following:
    1. additions, disclosing separately those additions resulting from acquisitions and those resulting from subsequent expenditure recognised as an asset,

    4. depreciation,
    5. the amount of impairment losses recognised, and the amount of impairment losses reversed, during the period in accordance with IAS 36,
    6. the net exchange differences arising on the translation of the financial statements into a different presentation currency, and on translation of a foreign operation into the presentation currency of the reporting entity,
    7. transfers to and from inventories and owner-occupied property, and
    8. other changes.
  5. the fair value of investment property. In the exceptional cases when an entity cannot measure the fair value of the investment property reliably, it shall disclose:
    1. a description of the investment property,
    2. an explanation of why fair value cannot be measured reliably, and
    3. if possible, the range of estimates within which fair value is highly likely to lie.

2.32 IAS 41 Agriculture

An entity shall disclose the aggregate gain or loss arising during the current period on initial recognition of biological assets and agricultural produce and from the change in fair value less costs to sell of biological assets.

An entity shall provide a description of each group of biological assets.

If not disclosed elsewhere in information published with the financial statements, an entity shall describe:

  1. the nature of its activities involving each group of biological assets; and

An entity shall present a reconciliation of changes in the carrying amount of biological assets between the beginning and the end of the current period. The reconciliation shall include:

  • the gain or loss arising from changes in fair value less costs to sell;
  • increases due to purchases;
  • decreases attributable to sales and biological assets classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale) in accordance with IFRS 5;
  • decreases due to harvest;
  • increases resulting from business combinations;
  • net exchange differences arising on the translation of financial statements into a different presentation currency, and on the translation of a foreign operation into the presentation currency of the reporting entity; and
  • other changes.

If an entity measures biological assets at their cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses at the end of the period, the entity shall disclose for such biological assets:

  1. a description of the biological assets;
