      As telcos prepare to transition, it is important to understand how these changes apply to current presentation practices and to their specific circumstances.

      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 telcos need to do?

      As the date of initial application approaches, telecommunication companies (telcos) 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 non-GAAP measures.

      The impact may depend on current presentation practices.
