IFRS 19 – Update for Tier 2 For-Profit Entities

IFRS 19 – Update for Tier 2 For-Profit Entities

Following on from our May 2024 article, the External Reporting Board (XRB) have announced that they have decided not to adopt IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures in New Zealand.

Instead, the XRB will consider the disclosure requirements in IFRS 19 as part of its decision-making on future RDR concessions contained in the New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime (NZ IFRS RDR) standards.

As a result, Tier 2 entities will not have to make any changes to current reporting as a consequence of IFRS 19.

Please refer to the XRB’s update for more information.

For more on the above, please contact your local BDO representative.
