The EBA issues Opinion on the implementation of IFRS 18 in supervisory financial reporting to support consistency with IFRS requirements
The European Banking Authority (EBA) has published today an Opinion providing guidance on how institutions can report profit or loss information during the interim period between the first application date of IFRS 18 and the first application date of the amending Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on supervisory financial reporting (FINREP), which are currently under consultation. The Opinion aims to support institutions by avoiding the operational burden of maintaining two different profit or loss formats during the transition period. It is also consistent with the EBA’s broader efforts to simplify and streamline the EU supervisory reporting framework.
