Learning (IAS 1) What are the requirements of Fair Representation? In virtually all circumstances, an entity achieves a fair presentation by compliance with applicable IFRSs. A fair representation also requires an entity: 1. To select and apply accounting policies in accordance with IAS 8. IAS 8 sets out a hierarchy of authoritative guidance that management considers in the absence of an IFRS that specifically applies to an item. 2. To present information, including accounting policies in a manner that provides relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information. 3. To provide additional disclosures when compliance with the specific requirements in IFRSs is insufficient to enable users to understand the impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the entity’s financial position and financial performance.
