Published on: 20 Apr 2020

This video discusses the effect of COVID-19 on accounting after the reporting period. Since the 31st of December 2019, the events around COVID-19 have developed rapidly.

When new information is obtained after the end of the reporting period, entities need to carefully assess if that information reveals a condition that existed before the end of the reporting period.
