2019 IFRS XBRL taxonomy issued
27 Mar 2019
The IFRS Foundation has issued its 2019 IFRS Taxonomy. The IFRS Taxonomy is a translation of IFRS Standards into XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language).
The IFRS Taxonomy 2019 is consistent with IFRSs as issued by the IASB at 1 January 2019 and includes changes to the IFRS Taxonomy 2018 such as:
- disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement; and
- improvements including (1) the introduction of implementation notes and duration type elements, (2) the removal of entry points without documentation labels, and (3) other improvements.
The IFRS Foundation has also published IFRS Taxonomy 2018—Update 1 Common Practice (IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement) and IFRS Taxonomy 2018—Update 2 General Improvements. The IFRS Taxonomy 2019 incorporates the changes resulting from these two updates.
For more information, see the press release and the IFRS Taxonomy 2019 page on the IASB's website.
