IFRS taxonomy element reference

Each IFRS taxonomy element contains at least one cross-reference to an AASB Standard (that incorporates IFRS 17 Standards as issued and amended by the International Accounting Standards Board) and has a reference type that can be used to identify the source of that element. The IFRS Taxonomy uses the following element reference types:

(a) disclosure—an element of this type depicts a presentation or disclosure requirement of an IFRS/AASB Standard;
(b) example—an element of this type represents an example provided in an IFRS/AASB Standard or its accompanying materials; and
(c) common practice—an element of this type reflects common reporting practice within IFRS/AASB financial statements. They are not specifically mentioned in IFRS/AASB Standards or their accompanying materials, but are consistent with IFRS/AASB Standards. They have been found to be frequently disclosed across a range of companies and accounting jurisdictions.
