About IFRS 19:

On 9 May 2024 the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures, which permits eligible subsidiaries to apply IFRS Accounting Standards with reduced disclosures. IFRS 19 is a voluntary Standard and has an effective date of 1 January 2027, with early application permitted. More information on IFRS 19 can be found here.

For IFRS 19 to be endorsed in Europe, its costs and benefits need to be assessed. Therefore, EFRAG encourages you to provide your input. EFRAG will soon be launching questionnaires to preparers and users of financial statements to assess the costs and benefits associated with implementing IFRS 19.
