Enhance Your Financial Reporting with Support for New Sustainability Standards

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has always emphasized the importance of considering climate-related matters in financial statements if their impact is material. While the IFRS Accounting Standards do not explicitly refer to climate-related matters, the educational material provides practical guidance and relevant examples that illustrate situations where the effects of climate-related matters need to be considered.

We understand that adapting to evolving sustainability reporting standards can be challenging for organizations. To support you in this process, we are pleased to offer our expertise and assistance in ensuring your financial statements adhere to the new sustainability disclosure requirements.

The updated educational material takes into account recent developments, including the inaugural IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) on June 26, 2023. By considering these standards in conjunction with the educational materials, your company can better identify matters, such as climate change, that impact your financial statements. This holistic approach will enable you to effectively apply the IFRS Accounting Standards and communicate your sustainability performance transparently.

Furthermore, we would like to highlight that the IASB is actively engaged in a project on Climate-related Risks in Financial Statements. This initiative aims to explore how financial statements can better communicate information about climate-related risks. The project may also encompass sustainability-related risks and opportunities beyond those solely related to climate. By staying informed about these developments, you can proactively align your reporting practices with emerging global standards.

In addition to large corporations, the IFRS Foundation recognizes the significance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in global business. As such, educational material is also available on how the IFRS for SMEs® Accounting Standard requires companies to consider climate-related matters that materially affect their financial statements. Our support extends to SMEs as well, ensuring that all organizations have access to the necessary resources for successful reporting.
