IASB Proposes Illustrative Examples to Enhance Reporting of Climate and Other Uncertainties in Financial Statements

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has released a consultation document proposing eight illustrative examples to improve how companies report climate-related and other uncertainties in financial statements. This initiative addresses investor demand for more transparent and consistent disclosures, focusing on materiality judgments, assumptions, estimation uncertainties, and information disaggregation. The IASB collaborated with the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) to align these examples with sustainability-related disclosures. The examples provide guidance on applying existing IFRS Accounting Standards, without introducing new requirements, to help companies communicate the impact of uncertainties on their financial position. Stakeholders can comment on the proposals until November 28, 2024. This effort aims to enhance transparency, linking financial statements with sustainability reports and enabling better-informed investor decisions regarding climate-related risks.
