IFRS

Key new standards include:

• IFRS 9 Financial Instruments;
• IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers;
• IFRS 16 Leases;
• IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts.

These new standards not only affect IFRS reporters, but in addition, those subsidiaries of listed and/or international companies who might need to report in IFRS for group reporting.

We have significant experience advising a wide range of clients, including listed companies, companies preparing for a flotation and Luxembourg subsidiaries of listed companies, on ongoing compliance with IFRS, the impact of forthcoming standards and converting to a new framework. We also advise on best practice disclosures for financial statements.

For companies considering converting to IFRS, we can help you to:

• Assess the implications that different reporting framework options will mean for your company;
• Conduct framework consideration assessments;
• Conduct detailed impact assessments;
• Provide project management services for transition;
• Prepare and/or review financial statements for compliance;
• Prepare and/or review accounting policies and manuals and group reporting requirements; and
• Provide and/or explain the detailed requirements of disclosure checklists.

For companies already applying IFRS, we can help you to interpret and apply new standards, amendments and interpretations, including:

• Implementing the classification and measurement and hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9;
• Conducting impact assessments and contract reviews under IFRS 15, IFRS 16 and IFRS 17; and
• Proactively advising on the impact of other forthcoming standards, amendments and interpretations.

We can also provide technical advice on any of these issues, as well as bespoke training courses tailored for the needs of your board, finance team and/or other affected teams.
