IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with early application permitted. The IFRS Foundation identifies two defined subtotals—operating profit and profit before financing and income taxes—alongside disclosures of management-defined performance measures and new aggregation and disaggregation principles.Ifrs
FAR’s preparation article recommends learning the standard, forming a group to coordinate implementation and analysing how existing transactions fit the new presentation. It also emphasises internal communication about reporting instructions and routines. Finance teams can use those steps to identify changes to account mappings and reporting processes before their first IFRS 18 period.FAR
