Amendments to Accounting Standards
Lack of Exchangeablity
Lack of Exchangeablity amends IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates to require
an entity to apply a consistent approach to assessing whether a currency is exchangeable
into another currency and, when it is not, to determining the exchange rate to use and
the disclosures to provide.
These Accounting Standards are relevant, however, even if an entity does not intend to
adopt a requirement early. Paragraph 30 of IAS 8 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
requires an entity to disclose ‘information relevant to assessing the possible impact that
application of the new IFRS [Accounting Standard] will have on the entity’s financial
statements in the period of initial application’.
The table shows amendments and Accounting Standards that have an effective date after
1 January 2025.
