What's the issue?

      In its September meeting, the IFRS® Interpretations Committee discussed how foreign exchange differences arising on intercompany loans should be classified in consolidated financial statements under IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. Companies will need to keep a close eye on the outcome of these discussions as they prepare financial statements using IFRS 18.

      In our latest video, part of a series on key discussions by the Committee, Brian O’Donovan summarises what was covered.
