IMPACT ASSESSMENT
|
---|---|---|
IFRS 17
‘Insurance contracts’
|
The new standard requires insurance liabilities to be measured at a current fulfilment value and provides a more uniform measurement and presentation approach for all insurance contracts. These requirements are designed to achieve the goal of a consistent, principle-based accounting for insurance contracts. IFRS 17 supersedes IFRS 4 ‘Insurance Contracts’ and related interpretations while applied.
|
The Group analysed the products offered, whether they meet the definition of insurance contracts in the light of IFRS 17. The results of the analysis show that the products offered by the Group do not carry significant insurance risk and are not insurance contracts. Thus, the new standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements in the period of their first application.
|
IAS 1 (amendment)
‘Presentation of financial statement’ and ‘IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of accounting policies’
|
The amendments to IAS 1 include:
|
The standard’s amendments did not have a material impact on the financial statements in the period of their first application.
|
IAS 8 (amendment)
‘Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors’
|
The amendments to IAS 8 include:
|
The standard’s amendments did not have a material impact on the financial statements in the period of their first application.
|
IAS 12 (amendment) ‘Income taxes’ |
The amendments introduce the requirement to recognise deferred tax on transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. The amendments will mainly apply to transactions such as leases for the lessee and decommissioning obligations.
|
The standard’s amendments did not have a material impact on the financial statements in the period of their first application.. |
IFRS 17 (amendment)
‘Insurance contracts’ and
IFRS 9 (amendment)
‘Financial instruments’
|
The main amendment regards entities that first apply IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 at the same time. The amendment regards financial assets for which comparative information is presented on initial application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9, but where this information has not been restated for IFRS 9. Under the amendment, an entity is permitted to present comparative information about a financial asset as if the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 had been applied to that financial asset before. In applying the classification overlay to a financial asset, an entity is not required to apply the impairment requirements of IFRS 9. There are no changes to the transition requirements in IFRS 9.
|
The change in standards does not apply to the Group, which has already applied IFRS 9.
|
IAS 12 (amendment) ‘Income taxes’ |
The amendments give companies temporary relief from accounting for deferred taxes arising from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (‘OECD’) international tax reform. The OECD published the Pillar Two model rules in December 2021 to ensure that large multinational companies would be subject to a minimum 15% tax rate. The amendments to IAS 12 include:
|
The standard’s amendments did not have a material impact on the financial statements in the period of their first application. |
