As companies prepare for the introduction of IFRS 18, investors will need to understand how the new standard will reshape financial reporting and improve the analysis of corporate performance. This webinar will provide a practical overview of the key changes introduced by IFRS 18 and what they mean for investors when companies begin reporting under the new requirements for reporting periods starting on or after 1 January 2027. 

Join Nick Anderson, Member of the International Accounting Standards Board, as he explores how IFRS 18 aims to enhance comparability, transparency and consistency across financial statements, helping investors gain clearer insights into company performance and management reporting practices. 

What you'll learn 

  • Improved structure and detail in the income statement
  • Understand the three new categories for income and expenses introduced by IFRS 18: operating, investing and financing.
  • Explore the new mandatory subtotals, including operating profit, and how these changes will provide a more consistent basis for performance analysis.
  • Learn how the new presentation requirements are designed to improve comparability between companies and sectors.
  • Gain insight into the enhanced guidance on how companies should present information in the primary financial statements and disclosures, providing investors with more useful and detailed information. 

Greater transparency around non-GAAP earnings measures 

  • Take a deep dive into the new requirements for management-defined performance measures (MPMs), often referred to as non-GAAP measures.
  • Understand how companies will be required to explain and reconcile these performance measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures.
  • Discover how the new disclosure requirements will improve transparency, increase discipline in the use of non-GAAP metrics and bring these measures within the scope of audit scrutiny. 

Who should attend? Investment professionals, analysts, portfolio managers, finance professionals, accountants and auditors.
