The IASB issued 'Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle', a collection of amendments to IFRSs, in response to issues addressed during the 2010–2012 cycle. Seven standards are affected by the amendments.

Annual Improvements 2010–2012 Cycle makes amendments to the following standards:

IFRS Amendments
IFRS 2 Share-based Payment Definition of 'vesting condition'
Amends the definitions of 'vesting condition' and 'market condition' and adds definitions for 'performance condition' and 'service condition' (which were previously part of the definition of 'vesting condition').
IFRS 3 Business Combinations
(with consequential amendments to other standards)
Accounting for contingent consideration in a business combination
Clarifies that contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability shall be measured at fair value at each reporting date.

(amendments to the basis of conclusions only, with consequential amendments to the bases of conclusions of other standards)
Short-term receivables and payables
Clarifies that issuing IFRS 13 and amending IFRS 9 and IAS 39 did not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at their invoice amounts without discounting if the effect of not discounting is immaterial.

Clarifies that when an item of property, plant and equipment is revalued the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount.
