What’s new for 30 June 2024 financial reporting?

Navigating the evolving regulatory landscape and increasing stakeholder pressure continues to challenge organisations as they contemplate their 30 June 2024 financial reports.

Since our webinar in November last year, there have been updates in relation to Australian-specific sustainability reporting standards, including a new timeline for organisations that qualify as Group 1 reporters, which will require mandatory sustainability reporting for financial years commencing 1 January 2025.

There continue to be developments in both the global and local tax landscape, with BEPS Pillar 2 legislation enacted in multiple jurisdictions, and draft legislation now tabled in Australia.

International and local standard setters are still active working on the development of new accounting standards, amendments and clarifications through the IFRS Interpretations Committee agenda process.
