Comparison with IAS 41

AASB 141 and IAS 41

AASB 141 Agriculture as amended incorporates IAS 41 Agriculture as issued and amended by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Paragraphs that have been added to this Standard (and do not appear in the text of IAS 41) are identified with the prefix “Aus” or “RDR”, followed by the number of the relevant IASB paragraph and decimal numbering. Paragraphs that apply only to not-for-profit entities begin by identifying their limited applicability.

Compliance with IAS 41

For-profit entities that comply with AASB 141 as amended will simultaneously be in compliance with IAS 41 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 41. Whether a not-for-profit entity will be in compliance with IAS 41 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 41.
