Objective of IAS 1
The objective of IAS 1 (2007) is to prescribe the basis for presentation of general purpose
financial statements, to ensure comparability both with the entity's financial statements of
previous periods and with the financial statements of other entities. IAS 1 sets out the overall
requirements for the presentation of financial statements, guidelines for their structure and
minimum requirements for their content.
The objective of general purpose financial statements is to provide information about the
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of an entity that is useful to a wide
range of users in making economic decisions. To meet that objective, financial statements
provide information about an entity's:
assets
liabilities
equity
income and expenses, including gains and losses
contributions by and distributions to owners (in their capacity as owners)
cash flows.
That information, along with other information in the notes, assists users of financial statements
in predicting the entity's future cash flows and, in particular, their timing and certainty.
Comparative information
IAS 1 requires that comparative information to be disclosed in respect of the previous period for
all amounts reported in the financial statements, both on the face of the financial statements and
in the notes, unless another Standard requires otherwise. Comparative information is provided
for narrative and descriptive where it is relevant to understanding the financial statements of the
current period.
An entity must normally present a classified statement of financial position, separating current
and non-current assets and liabilities, unless presentation based on liquidity provides information
that is reliable. In either case, if an asset (liability) category combines amounts that will be
received (settled) after 12 months with assets (liabilities) that will be received (settled) within 12
months, note disclosure is required that separates the longer-term amounts from the 12-month
amounts.
When a long-term debt is expected to be refinanced under an existing loan facility, and the entity
has the discretion to do so, the debt is classified as non-current, even if the liability would
otherwise be due within 12 months.
Format of statement
IAS 1 does not prescribe the format of the statement of financial position. Assets can be
presented current then non-current, or vice versa, and liabilities and equity can be presented
current then non-current then equity, or vice versa. A net asset presentation (assets minus
liabilities) is allowed.
Regarding issued share capital and reserves, the following disclosures are required:
numbers of shares authorized, issued and fully paid, and issued but not fully paid
par value (or that shares do not have a par value)
a reconciliation of the number of shares outstanding at the beginning and the end of the
period
description of rights, preferences, and restrictions
treasury shares, including shares held by subsidiaries and associates
shares reserved for issuance under options and contracts
a description of the nature and purpose of each reserve within equity.
Additional disclosures are required in respect of entities without share capital and where an
entity has reclassified puttable financial instruments.
Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
Profit or loss is defined as "the total of income less expenses, excluding the components of other
comprehensive income". Other comprehensive income is defined as comprising "items of
income and expense (including reclassification adjustments) that are not recognised in profit or
loss as required or permitted by other IFRSs". Total comprehensive income is defined as "the
change in equity during a period resulting from transactions and other events, other than those
changes resulting from transactions with owners in their capacity as owners".
All items of income and expense recognised in a period must be included in profit or loss unless
a Standard or an Interpretation requires otherwise. Some IFRSs require or permit that some
components to be excluded from profit or loss and instead to be included in other comprehensive
income.
In addition, IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors requires
the correction of errors and the effect of changes in accounting policies to be recognised outside
profit or loss for the current period.
profit or loss
total other comprehensive income
comprehensive income for the period
an allocation of profit or loss and comprehensive income for the period between non-
controlling interests and owners of the parent.
The following minimum line items must be presented in the profit or loss section (or separate
statement of profit or loss, if presented): [IAS 1.82-82A]
revenue
gains and losses from the derecognition of financial assets measured at amortised cost
finance costs
share of the profit or loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity
method
certain gains or losses associated with the reclassification of financial assets
tax expense
a single amount for the total of discontinued items
Expenses recognised in profit or loss should be analysed either by nature (raw materials, staffing
costs, depreciation, etc.) or by function (cost of sales, selling, administrative, etc). [IAS 1.99] If
an entity categorises by function, then additional information on the nature of expenses – at a
minimum depreciation, amortisation and employee benefits expense – must be disclosed. [IAS
1.104]
The other comprehensive income section is required to present line items which are classified by
their nature, and grouped between those items that will or will not be reclassified to profit and
loss in subsequent periods. [IAS 1.82A]
Other requirements
Additional line items may be needed to fairly present the entity's results of operations. [IAS 1.85]
Items cannot be presented as 'extraordinary items' in the financial statements or in the notes.
[IAS 1.87]
Certain items must be disclosed separately either in the statement of comprehensive income or in
the notes, if material, including: [IAS 1.98]
Rather than setting out separate requirements for presentation of the statement of cash flows, IAS
1.111 refers to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
IAS 1 requires an entity to present a separate statement of changes in equity. The statement must
show: [IAS 1.106]
total comprehensive income for the period, showing separately amounts attributable to
owners of the parent and to non-controlling interests
the effects of any retrospective application of accounting policies or restatements made in
accordance with IAS 8, separately for each component of other comprehensive income
reconciliations between the carrying amounts at the beginning and the end of the period
for each component of equity, separately disclosing:
o profit or loss
o other comprehensive income*
o transactions with owners, showing separately contributions by and distributions to
owners and changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a
loss of control
The following amounts may also be presented on the face of the statement of changes in equity,
or they may be presented in the notes: [IAS 1.107]
present information about the basis of preparation of the financial statements and the
specific accounting policies used
disclose any information required by IFRSs that is not presented elsewhere in the
financial statements and
provide additional information that is not presented elsewhere in the financial statements
but is relevant to an understanding of any of them
Notes are presented in a systematic manner and cross-referenced from the face of the financial
statements to the relevant note. [IAS 1.113]
IAS 1.114 suggests that the notes should normally be presented in the following order:
Other disclosures
An entity must disclose, in the summary of significant accounting policies or other notes, the
judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that management has made in the process of
applying the entity's accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts
recognised in the financial statements. [IAS 1.122]
Dividends
In addition to the distributions information in the statement of changes in equity (see above), the
following must be disclosed in the notes: [IAS 1.137]
the amount of dividends proposed or declared before the financial statements were
authorised for issue but which were not recognised as a distribution to owners during the
period, and the related amount per share
the amount of any cumulative preference dividends not recognised.
Capital disclosures
An entity discloses information about its objectives, policies and processes for managing capital.
[IAS 1.134] To comply with this, the disclosures include: [IAS 1.135]
qualitative information about the entity's objectives, policies and processes for managing
capital, including>
o description of capital it manages
o nature of external capital requirements, if any
o how it is meeting its objectives
quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital
changes from one period to another
whether the entity has complied with any external capital requirements and
if it has not complied, the consequences of such non-compliance.
IAS 1.136A requires the following additional disclosures if an entity has a puttable instrument
that is classified as an equity instrument:
Other information
The following other note disclosures are required by IAS 1 if not disclosed elsewhere in
information published with the financial statements: [IAS 1.138]
The 2007 comprehensive revision to IAS 1 introduced some new terminology. Consequential
amendments were made at that time to all of the other existing IFRSs, and the new terminology
has been used in subsequent IFRSs including amendments. IAS 1.8 states: "Although this
Standard uses the terms 'other comprehensive income', 'profit or loss' and 'total comprehensive
income', an entity may use other terms to describe the totals as long as the meaning is clear. For
example, an entity may use the term 'net income' to describe profit or loss." Also, IAS 1.57(b)
states: "The descriptions used and the ordering of items or aggregation of similar items may be
amended according to the nature of the entity and its transactions, to provide information that is
relevant to an understanding of the entity's financial position."
