Special-purpose financial statements for certain entities will no longer be permitted under AASB 2020-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Removal of Special Purpose Financial Statements for Certain For-Profit Private Sector Entities. The standard applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July next year. But this is not the end of the story. We will explain the reasons behind the change and what needs to be done immediately.
The session will introduce you to:
- The standard’s requirements, including the resulting amendments to other standards
- The use of AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards to manage the transition
