International Accounting Standards Disclosure Checklist 2001

International Accounting Standards


Disclosure Checklist 2001
Name of reporting entity ....................................................... Balance sheet date .....................................
This checklist outlines the disclosures required by all International Accounting Standards and Interpretations
published up to and including September 2000. This disclosure checklist does not deal with the measurement
requirements of International Accounting Standards; a thorough reading of those Standards that are relevant
to the reporting entity’s circumstances will be necessary.
This disclosure checklist is intended for general reference purposes only; it is not a substitute for reading the
Standards themselves, or for professional judgement as to the fairness of presentation. Depending on the
circumstances, further specific information may be required in order to ensure fair presentation under
International Accounting Standards. Furthermore, the disclosure checklist does not cover disclosures
required by national or local laws and professional bodies.
International Accounting Standards that come into force in 2001
This checklist includes the following International Accounting Standards, which come into force for periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2001:
• IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement; and
• IAS 40, Investment Property.
Format of IAS Disclosure Checklist
The IAS disclosure checklist is presented in a format designed to facilitate the collection and review of
disclosures for each component of the financial statements. Where appropriate, all disclosures have been
grouped by subject. Additional notes and explanations in the checklist are shown in italics. The references
in the left margin of the checklist represent the paragraphs of the Standards in which the disclosure
requirements appear – for example, ‘8p40’ indicates IAS 8 paragraph 40. The designation ‘DV’ means
‘Disclosure voluntary’ and indicates that the relevant IAS encourages, but does not require the disclosure.
The box in the right margin of each page is designed to assist in completing the checklist. In the left-hand
box (headed ‘Y-NA-NM’) one of the following should be entered for each disclosure item:
• Y (‘YES’) – the appropriate disclosure has been made; or
• NA (‘Not Applicable’) – the item does not apply to the reporting entity; or
• NM (‘Not Material’) – the item is regarded as not material to the financial statements of the reporting entity.
Materiality is defined in paragraphs 29 and 30 of the IASC’s Framework for the Preparation and Presentation
of Financial Statements, and each IAS contains a statement that it is not intended to apply to immaterial items.
The right-hand box on each page (headed ‘REF’) can be used to insert a reference to the relevant part of the
financial statements (for example, Note 7) for all items that have been marked ‘Y’ in the left-hand box.

(ii) settlement date.
32p49, 2 Information on financial instruments should be disclosed when a
32p50, financial instrument held or issued by an enterprise, either individually
32p51 or as a class, creates a potentially significant exposure to the
enterprise’s financial risks. IAS 32 p49-51 provides details of

interest rate that is reset as the market rate changes. Suggested
approaches for presentation are given in IAS 32 p64(a,b) for fixed
interest rate instruments and in IAS 32 p64(c) for floating interest
rate instruments.

reliability, that fact should be disclosed together with information
about the principal characteristics of the underlying financial
instrument that are pertinent to its fair value. (Further guidance on

(1) General disclosures
14p3 The segment information in IAS 14 must be given in the IAS
financial statements of all enterprises whose equity or debt
securities are publicly traded or that are in the process of issuing
14p4 equity or debt securities inpublic securities markets. Other
enterprises that prepare IAS financial statements are encouraged to
give segment disclosures; if they choose to give such information,
14p5 they must comply fully with IAS 14.
For the detailed rules on determining the segments to be reported
in the financial statements refer to IAS 14 paragraphs 9, 16, 26, 27,
34-37, 41-43, 44 and 47. Refer also to Appendix 2 to IAS 14 which
contains an illustration of the disclosures required for primary and
secondary segment reporting formats.
14p81 1 The types of products and services included in each reported
business segment.
14p81 2 The composition of each reported geographical segment.
14p81 If the information required by IAS 14 p81 is disclosed elsewhere in
the annual report, for example in the financial review, it need not
be repeated in the financial statements.
(2) Primary segment format
14p50 1 Disclose for each reportable segment in the enterprise’s primary
segment reporting format:

disclosure include both additions and acquisitions through
business combinations including goodwill).
14p58 (f) depreciation and amortisation expense; and
14p61 (g) total amount of significant non-cash expenses (other than
depreciation and amortisation) charged to the segment result,
eg segment charges.
14p63 If the enterprise provides the segment cash flow disclosures that
are encouraged by IAS 7 p50 (d), it need not also disclose
depreciation and amortisation expense or significant non-cash
expenses.
DV,14p59 2 The nature and amount of any items of segment revenue and
segment expense that are of such size, nature, or incidence that
their disclosure is relevant to explain the performance of each
reportable segment for the period (eg the items listed in IAS 8 p18).
14p64 3 The aggregate of the enterprise’s share of the net profit or loss of
associates, joint ventures (where equity method is used for joint
ventures), or other investments accounted for under the equity
method for each reportable segment. However, this requirement
only applies if substantially all of those associates’ operations are
within a single segment. (Note: under the definitions in IAS 14 p16
joint ventures accounted for under the equity method and associates
are not reportable segments – refer to Appendix 2 to IAS 14 for an
illustration of how segment amounts relating to such joint ventures
and associates are disclosed).
14p66 4 If the requirement in 3 above applies, the aggregate investments in
those associates, joint ventures or other investments should also be
disclosed for each reportable segment.
36p116 5 For each reportable primary segment:
(a) the amount of impairment losses recognised:
(i) in the income statement; and
(ii) directly in equity; and
(b) the amount of reversals of impairment losses recognised:
(i) in the income statement; and
(ii) directly in equity.
36p117 6 Additional disclosures by reportable segment where the
impairment loss recognised or reversed is material to the financial
statements taken as a whole:
36p117(c)(ii) (a) for an individual asset: the segment to which the asset belongs,
based on the primary format; and
36p117(d)(ii) (b) for a cash-generating unit: description (eg whether it is a

enterprise operating profit or loss, as well as to enterprise net
profit or loss;
(c) segment assets reconciled to enterprise assets; and
(d) segment liabilities reconciled to enterprise liabilities.
8 Additional disclosures required, if geographical segments are
primary segment format (either (a) or (b) should be applied):
14p71 (a) if the primary segment format is geographical segments by
location of assets, and the location of customers differs from
the location of assets, disclose the revenue from sales to
external customers for each customer-based geographical
segment (ie ‘sales by destination’) whose revenue from sales to
external customers is 10% or more of total sales; or
14p72 (b) if the primary segment format is geographical segments by
location of customers, and the assets are located in different
geographical areas from the customers, disclose the following
segment information for each asset-based geographical segment
whose revenue from sales to external customers or segment
assets are 10% or more of the group totals:
(i) total of segment assets by geographical location of the
assets; and
(ii) capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment and on
intangible assets by location of the assets (determined on an
accruals basis, not a cash basis. This disclosure includes
both additions and acquisitions through business
combinations including goodwill).
(3) Secondary segment format
The disclosures in either paragraph 1 or 2 below (IAS 14 p69 or 70)
apply, depending on whether the secondary segment format is
geographical segments or business segments.
14p69 1 If the geographical segments are the secondary segment format:
disclose, for each geographical segment, item (a) where the
revenues are 10% or more of total consolidated sales, and items (b)
and (c) where the assets are 10% or more of total segment assets:
(a) segment revenue from external customers by geographical area
based on geographical location of customers (ie ‘sales by
destination’);
(b) total of segment assets by geographical location of assets; and
(c) capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment and on
intangible assets by geographical location of assets (determined
on an accruals basis not a cash basis. This disclosure includes

sales, or where the assets are 10% or more of total segment assets:
(a) segment revenue from external customers;
(b) total of segment assets; and
(c) capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment and on
intangible assets (determined on an accruals basis, not a cash

to the consolidated amounts.
(4) Other disclosures
14p74 1 Under IAS 14 a business segment or geographical segment for
which information is reported to the board of directors and chief
executive officer is not a reportable segment if it earns a majority of
its revenue from sales to other segments (often referred to in practice
as a ‘vertically integrated segment’). However, if that segment’s
revenue from sales to external customers is 10% or more of total
enterprise’s external revenue, disclose that fact and the amounts of
that segment’s revenue from:
(a) sales to external customers; and
(b) internal sales to other segments.
14p75 2 Inter-segment transfers:
(a) the basis of pricing; and
(b) any changes in the basis of pricing inter-segment transfers.
(Note: inter-segment transfers should be measured for segment
reporting purposes on the basis that the enterprise actually used
to price those transfers).
14p76 3 Changes in accounting policies adopted for segment reporting that
have a material effect on segment information – restate prior period
segment information unless it is impracticable to do so, and:
(a) describe the nature of the change;
(b) the reason for the change;
(c) the fact that comparative information has been restated or that
it is impracticable to do so; and
(d) the financial effect of the change, if it is reasonably determinable.

to the new basis unless this is impracticable. If restatement is
impracticable, disclose the current year segment data on both the
old and the new basis of segmentation.
14p84 5 When the enterprise adopts IAS 14 for the first time, the
comparative segment data should be restated unless it is not
practicable. If it is not practicable, disclose that fact.

period attributable to ordinary shareholders, such amounts should
be calculated using the weighted average number of ordinary
shares determined in accordance with IAS 33.
If a component of net profit is used which is not reported as a line
item in the income statement, a reconciliation should be provided
between the component used and a line item which is reported in
the income statement. Basic and diluted supplementary per share
amounts should be disclosed with equal prominence.
33p43 4 If the number of ordinary or potential ordinary shares outstanding
increases as a result of capitalisation or bonus issue or share split or
decreases as a result of a reverse share split, the calculation of basic
and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented should be
adjusted retrospectively. If these changes occur after the balance
sheet date but before issue of the financial statements, the per share
calculations for those and any prior period financial statements
presented should be based on the new number of shares. When per
share calculations reflect such changes in the number of shares,
that fact should be disclosed.
DV 5 An enterprise is encouraged to disclose a description of ordinary
33p45 share transactions or potential ordinary share transactions, other
than capitalisation issues and share splits, which occurred after the
balance sheet date when they are of such importance that non-
disclosure would affect the ability of users of the financial
statements to make proper evaluations and decisions (See IAS 10).
Examples of such transactions include:
(a) the issue of shares for cash;
(b) the issue of shares when the proceeds are used to repay debt or
preference shares outstanding at the balance sheet date;
(c) the redemption of ordinary shares outstanding;
(d) the conversion or exercise of potential ordinary shares
outstanding at the balance sheet date, into ordinary shares;
(e) the issue of warrants, options or convertible securities; and
(f) the achievement of conditions that would result in the issue of
contingently issuable shares.

DV,1p8 International Accounting Standards do not address the
DV,1p9 requirements for information to be included in a directors’ report or
financial commentary. Generally such requirements are determined

main features of the enterprise’s financial performance and
financial position and the principal uncertainties it faces.

In 1998 the International Organisation of Securities Commissions
issued “International Disclosure Standards for Cross-Border Offerings
and Initial Listings for Foreign Issuers”, comprising recommended
disclosure standards including an operating and financial review and
discussion of future prospects. IOSCO standards for prospectuses are
not mandatory – but they will increasingly be incorporated in
national stock exchange requirements both for prospectuses and
annual reports. The text of IOSCO’s Standard on Operating and
Financial Reviews and Prospects is reproduced below :
Discuss the company’s financial condition, changes in financial
condition and results of operations for each year and interim period
for which financial statements are required, including the causes of
material changes from year to year in financial statement line items,
to the extent necessary for an understanding of the company’s
business as a whole. Information provided also shall relate to all
separate segments of the company. Provide the information
specified below as well as such other information that is necessary
for an investor’s understanding of the company’s financial
condition, changes in financial condition and results of operation.
A. Operating Results. Provide information regarding significant
factors, including unusual or infrequent events or new
developments, materially affecting the company’s income from
operations, indicating the extent to which income was so affected.
Describe any other significant component of revenue or expenses
necessary to understand the company's results of operations.
1. To the extent that the financial statements disclose material
changes in net sales or revenues, provide a narrative discussion
of the extent to which such changes are attributable to changes
in prices or to changes in the volume or amount of products
or services being sold or to the introduction of new products
or services.
2. Describe the impact of inflation, if material. If the currency in
which financial statements are presented is of a country that has
experienced hyperinflation, the existence of such inflation, a
five year history of the annual rate of inflation and a discussion
of the impact of hyperinflation on the company’s business shall
be disclosed.
3. Provide information regarding the impact of foreign currency
fluctuations on the company, if material, and the extent to
which foreign currency net investments are hedged by currency
borrowings and other hedging instruments.
4. Provide information regarding any governmental economic,
fiscal, monetary or political policies or factors that have
materially affected, or could materially affect, directly or
indirectly, the company’s operations or investments by host
country shareholders.

present requirements, or, if not, how it proposes to provide
the additional working capital needed;
(b) an evaluation of the sources and amounts of the company’s
cash flows, including the nature and extent of any legal or
economic restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to transfer
funds to the company in the form of cash dividends, loans or

period under review, the seasonality of borrowing
requirements and the maturity profile of borrowings and
committed borrowing facilities, with a description of any
restrictions on their use.

maturity profile of debt, currency and interest rate structure. The
discussion also should include funding and treasury policies and
objectives in terms of the manner in which treasury activities are
controlled, the currencies in which cash and cash equivalents
are held, the extent to which borrowings are at fixed rates, and
the use of financial instruments for hedging purposes.
3. Information regarding the company’s material commitments for
capital expenditures as of the end of the latest financial year
and any subsequent interim period and an indication of the
general purpose of such commitments and the anticipated
sources of funds needed to fulfill such commitments.
C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses etc. Provide
a description of the company’s research and development policies
for the last three years, where it is significant, including the
amount spent during each of the last three financial years on

least the current financial year, any known trends, uncertainties,
demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to
have a material effect on the company’s net sales or revenues,
