In May 2020, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations – Reference to the Conceptual Framework.
The International Accounting Standards Board’s (the IASB or the Board) amendments are intended to replace a reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements, issued in 1989 with a reference to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, that was issued in March 2018, without significantly changing its requirements.
In addition, the Board added an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the issue of potential ‘day 2’ gains or losses arising for liabilities and contingent liabilities and it clarified existing guidance in IFRS 3 for contingent assets.
