      Are you ready for IFRS 18?

      IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements is effective from 1 January 2027 and applies retrospectively, with comparatives restated.

      What do banks need to do?

      As the date of initial application approaches, banks need to:

      • assess the potential impact of IFRS 18;
      • develop a detailed implementation roadmap for transition-related activities; and
      • communicate the impact to investors, including how IFRS 18 may change key performance indicators.

      The impact may depend on current presentation practices. As such, our observations are informed by data on the current practice for 25 global banks.
