This publication shows the disclosures required for companies that are intending to adopt the new disclosure standard AASB 1060 General Purpose Financial Statements Simplified Disclosures for For-Profit and Not- for-Profit Tier 2 Entities as at June 2020 or thereafter. The new standard was released alongside amendments to Australian Accounting Standards that remove the ability of certain for-profit private sector entities to prepare special purpose financial statements (SPFS) for periods beginning on or after 1 July 2021.

7 Further information about the removal can be found in our Straight Away Alert from March 2020. The new disclosure standard better aligns the Tier 2 disclosure requirements to the international benchmark of IFRS for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and replaces the current Tier 2 reduced disclosure regime (RDR). AASB 1060 is a separate, stand-alone standard that lists all of the relevant disclosure requirements for entities eligible to report under Tier 2 (unlike the previous RDR framework which used shading to show which disclosures could be omitted from the other accounting standards). We have provided a comparison of the disclosure requirements of the new standard with the previous reduced disclosure regime (RDR) and the mandatory requirements for SPFS in Appendix B.

8 The Appendix shows that there have been significant reductions in disclosures compared to the current RDR framework, but that there are also some new disclosures that were not previously required. The Appendix will help entities that have previously prepared SPFS to identify the areas where they will need to increase their disclosures and begin collecting relevant information. Consistent with the new approach of having a separate, stand-alone disclosure standard, this publication is no longer reproducing all of the disclosures from our VALUE ACCOUNTS Holdings publication. We have rewritten it to reflect simpler operations and to remove disclosures that are not relevant to unlisted companies.

9 We've also illustrated disclosures that may only be relevant for some Tier 2 entities (Appendix A). COVID-19. While COVID-19 will have a significant impact on many entities and require specific disclosures in June 2020. financial statements, these will vary from entity to entity and will hopefully not be an ongoing feature of financial statements. We have therefore not included any illustrative disclosures in this publication. Instead, we encourage you to refer to our designated COVID-19 website which is regularly updated and includes industry- specific guidance.
