Turn the raw legal text into a practical explanation grounded in AASB 1053 - Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards - June 2010.
19B Subject to paragraph 23, an entity that:
(a) has applied Tier 2 reporting requirements[\[4\]](#_ftn4) in a previous reporting period; but
(b) whose most recent previous annual financial statements did not contain an explicit and unreserved statement of compliance with Tier 2 reporting requirements[\[5\]](#_ftn5); and
(c) is resuming the application of Tier 2 reporting requirements;
shall:
(d) apply all the relevant requirements of AASB 1, or the AASB 1 option for retrospective application of Australian Accounting Standards in accordance with AASB 108 as if the entity had never stopped applying Tier 2 reporting requirements, if the entity did not apply all applicable recognition and measurement requirements of Australian Accounting Standards; or
(e) not apply AASB 1, or the AASB 1 option for retrospective application of Australian Accounting Standards in accordance with AASB 108, if the entity applied all applicable recognition and measurement requirements of Australian Accounting Standards.
20 Entities described in paragraph 19B(a)-(c) resume the application of Tier 2 reporting requirements effectively using the same approach as an entity would for first transitioning from special purpose financial statements to Tier 2 reporting requirements set out in paragraph 18A. Accordingly, an entity that did not comply with Tier 2 reporting requirements due solely to omitting some disclosures, but otherwise continued to apply all applicable recognition and measurement requirements, is prohibited from applying AASB 1 on returning to Tier 2 requirements. Instead, it continues applying applicable recognition and measurement requirements, whether it had previously initially applied AASB 1 or a predecessor to AASB 108, whichever was applicable at the time. However, if such an entity did not continue to apply all applicable recognition and measurement requirements of Australian Accounting Standards in its most recent previous annual financial statements, that entity is required to apply AASB 1, or the AASB 1 option for retrospective application of Australian Accounting Standards in accordance with AASB 108, on resuming the application of Tier 2 reporting requirements.
