IFRS 1 - Very important comments (Draft)

It basically says what are the conditions under which a firm's Financial Statement can be considered as the very first firm's Finantial Statement reported under IFRS standards.

I would like to highlight an important situation that happens when two periods are compared. The IFRS 1 basically says that when a firm wants to compare 2 periods, both periods have to be based on IFRS standards. That means that if a firms decides to move to IFRS from 1st of January, 2012 on, it must consider also to report the period 2011 under IFRS standards for comparison purposes.

The IFRS 1 also states that (to comply with IAS 1) the first IFRS Financial statements shall include at least:

  • 3 Statements of Financial Position
  • 2 Statements of comprehensive income
  • 2 Separate income statements (if presented)
  • 2 Statements of cash flows
  • 2 Statements of changes in equity and related notes, including comparative information
