Which tier of general purpose financial statements do I have to prepare?

Unlock financial reporting clarity and understand the changes to the tiers of general purpose financial statements.

The tiers of general purpose financial statements have changed from 30 June 2022:

  • Tier 1 remains IFRS compliant financial statements which include all recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements from the Australian Accounting Standards (AASB’s)
  • Tier 2 is Simplified Disclosures which requires all recognition and measurement from the AASB’s, however presentation and disclosure requirements are included in AASB 1060 which is a stand-alone standard for this purpose.

Tier 1 financial statements are required for publicly accountable entities or other entities specifically required by a regulator to prepare Tier 1 financial statements.

The decision trees below will assist entities in determining which tier of general purpose financial statements they need to prepare.
