IFRS Updateand ChecklistEffective dates of the new IFRS standardsAs at: 13.2.2017

Overview effective dates of the new IFRS standards.

In 2016 and the following years once more new or amended IFRS stan dards and interpretations became or are going to become effec-tive.

For the application of the IFRS standards in the EU an adoption of the new standards in European law is necessary (endorsement). This en-dorsement process often leads to significant delays after the publica-tion by the IASB. The effective date of new standards of the European Union is in many cases different from the one of the IASB.

To support you TPA provided a yearly overview of the new IFRS stan-dards and the latest effective dates according to IASB and EU. The coloured presentation can be used for entities with calendar-based business year. In case of a business year that derivates from the calendar year or a short business year it has to be taken into account that the IFRS standards could become effective earlier.

Long-term preparation.

In 2016 IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) and IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) have been endorsed by the European Union. The effective date according to IASB and EU will be 01 January 2018. Furthermore the revised version of the leasing accounting (IFRS 16) with IASB effective date 01 January 2019 has been published in January 2016 as well as the new IFRIC 22 (Foreign Currency Trans-actions and Advance Consideration) and amendments to different standards during the year 2016 with IASB effective dates between 01 January 2017 and 01 January 2019. The endorsement of the EU is still open for all amended standards and IFRIC 22 which have been published by the IASB in 2016.

According the new standards IFRS 9, IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 entities have still time to prepare for the adoption. However, entities should analyse possible changes due to new standards in time, as they

might result in accounting changes which also could affect previous periods. The principle that preparation is better than extensive follow-up shall apply.

IFRS 16.

About one year ago the IASB finished its long-standing project on lease accounting and published IFRS 16, Leases. IFRS 16 is likely to have a significant impact on the financial statements of a number of lessees and also on the long-term lease negotiations. Especially the provision of a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognise right-of-use-assets and liabilities for virtually all leases, unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value, on the balance sheet, is intended to improve the quality of financial reporting and the comparability of financial statements of lessees.
