Summary

The Australian Accounting Standards Board has issued Accounting Standard AASB 1060, which introduces simplified disclosure requirements for for-profit and not-for-profit entities classified as Tier 2. This standard aims to reduce the reporting burden for these entities.

What changed

Accounting Standard AASB 1060, authorized under the Corporations Act 2001, establishes simplified disclosure requirements for for-profit and not-for-profit entities classified as Tier 2. This new standard, effective December 31, 2025, aims to reduce the complexity and volume of financial statement disclosures for these entities.

Entities that fall under the Tier 2 classification will need to review and implement the new disclosure requirements by the effective date. Compliance officers should ensure their financial reporting processes align with AASB 1060 to avoid misstatements or non-compliance with Australian accounting regulations. This change is expected to streamline reporting for a significant number of entities.

What to do next

  1. Review AASB 1060 for applicability to the entity.
  2. Update financial reporting processes to comply with simplified disclosure requirements.
  3. Ensure implementation by December 31, 2025.
