2. Condensed income statement 3. Condensed statement of changes in equity 4. Condensed cash flow statement 5. Selected explanatory notes
If an entity issues a complete set of financial statements in the interim
report, those financial statements should comply with IAS 1. If the entity publishes interim financial statements that are condensed, then they should include, as a minimum, the headings and subtotals included in the most recent annual financial statements and the explanatory notes as required by IAS 34. Additional line items or notes should be included if omitting them would make the interim financial statements misleading.
Basic and diluted earnings per
share should be presented on the face of the income statement. If the entity’s most recent annual financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis, the interim financial report should be prepared on the same basis.
Explanatory Notes On Interim Financial Statement
The explanatory notes are designed to provide an explanation of significant events and transactions arising since the last annual financial statements. IAS 34 assumes that readers of an entity’s interim report will also have access to its most recent annual report. As a result, IAS 34 prevents the repetition of annual disclosures in interim reports. IAS 34, paragraph 16, sets out a long list of disclosures including: 1. Accounting policy changes 2. Seasonality or cyclicality of operations 3. Unusual items and changes in estimates 4. Dividends paid and material events after the end of the interim period 5. Changes in the structure of the entity including business combinations and restructurings 6. Segment revenue and result 7. Changes in contingent liabilities or assets since the last annual balance sheet date 8. Issue, repurchase, and repayment of debt and equity
Disclosure Of Compliance With IFRS If the entity’s interim financial report is in compliance with IAS 34, that fact should be disclosed.
