IAS 1 amended for new debt covenant disclosures

An entity classifying a long-term debt with covenants as non-current will in the future need to:

• Present them separately in the balance sheet
• Provide disclosures about the covenants, and whether and how it expects to comply with them

This EY publication provides a summary. The AASB is expected to make similar amendments to AASB 101.

Cash transferred via electronic transfers – future amendment to IFRS 9

The IFRIC discussed the recognition of cash received via an electronic transfer and concluded that a trade receivable should be derecognised only at the settlement date. The IASB will explore amending IFRS 9 instead of approving the agenda decision. Until the IASB finalises those amendments, diversity in accounting for similar transactions are expected. EY publication provides a summary.
