IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in the Financial Statements
IFRS 18 improves financial reporting with clearer income categories and performance measures. In India, Ind AS 118 (under review), based on IFRS 18, is proposed to replace Ind AS 1 from April 2027, likely impacting Schedule III and reporting norms.

As the regulatory and reporting landscape continues to evolve, it's essential for finance leaders to stay ahead of the curve. This quarter, we focused on the global adoption strategies for IFRS 18, SEBI’s enhanced framework on Related Party Transactions, and key tax updates including developments in the Direct Tax Code and GST.

IFRS 18 marks a significant shift in how financial performance is communicated. During the session, we explored practical challenges to this global adoption, key transition considerations, and how organisations can align their reporting frameworks to meet evolving stakeholder expectations.
Geopolitical shifts are forcing CFOs to rethink supply chain architecture. From satellite facilities to optionality in logistics, the focus is shifting from scale to agility. CFOs must lead with long-term commitment, especially in volatile global environments. India’s strength won’t come from competing on cost; it will come from engineered products, process innovation and logistics. Risk management, scenario planning and treasury coordination are now central to financial leadership.

With a rehash of the income statement and significant new disclosure requirements including MPMs (Management defined performance measures), IFRS 18 will be a strategic shift in how performance is communicated to the key stakeholders. Early planning could help in unlocking better insights.

The role of a finance controller has evolved beyond traditional number-crunching to become a key enabler of strategic decision-making. Today, controllers play a pivotal part in shaping organisational structure, fostering external trust, and driving transparency across operations. Their responsibilities now extend well beyond compliance, encompassing policy simplification, investor engagement, and navigating heightened scrutiny - making them indispensable to building resilient, investor-ready enterprises.
There has been a significant rise in entities that have listed in Indian capital markets as well as the global capital markets. For a successful capital market listing, it is required that the entities plan well in advance. The challenges for a finance controller go beyond financial reporting and period end closures. Focus areas such as investor relations, sustainability reporting, corporate governance, and information technology are not just operational pillars - they represent key value drivers that can significantly enhance the listing process.
