The endorsement by the European Commission of Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets; and Annual Improvements 2018-2020 is now reflected in the Endorsement Status Report.
The European Union has published a Commission Regulation endorsing the Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets; and Annual Improvements 2018-2020. The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022.
The Amendments deal with a range of topics but includes:
- a clarification as to whether the unavoidable costs under a contract exceed the expected economic benefits;
- require that proceeds from sale of goods before intended use to be recognised in profit or loss rather than deducting it from the cost of the item;
- avoid unintended consequences with respect to business combinations; and
- the annual improvements (2018-2020).
