Compliance with IAS 16
For-profit entities that comply with AASB 116 as amended will simultaneously be in compliance with IAS 16 as amended.
Not-for-profit entities using the added “Aus” paragraphs in the Standard that specifically apply to not-for-profit entities may not be simultaneously complying with IAS 16. Whether a not-for-profit entity will be in compliance with IAS 16 will depend on whether the “Aus” paragraphs provide additional guidance for not-for-profit entities or contain requirements that are inconsistent with the corresponding IASB Standard and will be applied by the not-for-profit entity.
Entities preparing general purpose financial statements under Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements will not be in compliance with IAS 16.
