Webinar on the presentation of amalgamations in IPSAS 40
Mar 15, 2018
On March 15, 2018, the International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSASB) released a video intended to help users understand the requirements regarding amalgamations in IPSAS 40, "Public Sector Combinations", which IPSASB released in February 2017. The Standard applies from January 1, 2019 with earlier adoption encouraged.
IPSAS 40 uses the modified pooling of interests method of accounting for amalgamations. Because this approach does not require comparative figures to be restated, the presentation requirements may be different from other versions of the pooling of interests method that entities have used previously.
View the short video (11 minutes) on the IPSASB's website.
