The financial statements comply with international financial reporting standards ( ifrs ) as issued at 30 June 2021 and that apply to financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2021. We have attempted to create a realistic set of financial statements for VALUE ifrs Plc, a corporate entity that manufactures goods, provides services and holds investment property.

4 However, as this publication is a reference tool, we have not removed any disclosures based on materiality. Instead, we have included illustrative disclosures for as many common scenarios as possible. Please note that the amounts disclosed in this publication are purely for illustrative purposes and may not be consistent throughout the publication. New disclosure requirements and changes in accounting policies There were no changes to the financial reporting requirements this year that affected the disclosures in our example financial statements. However, noting the increased use of supplier financing (or reverse factoring) and the agenda decision issued by the ifrs Interpretations Committee (IC) last year, we have added illustrative disclosures for such an arrangement to note 7(f). We have also made a number of smaller improvements to some of the other disclosures, including moving lease accounting policies that are not entity-specific from note 8(b) to note 25(h).

5 At the time of writing, the biggest impact on the financial statements of entities all around the world continues to be related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impairment of assets, including receivables, information about going concern and borrowing profiles will likely still be a focus of stakeholders as at 31 December 2021. Entities will need consider to what extent they need to explain the impact on their business and the key assumptions made. However, as the impact will differ from entity to entity, we are referring our readers to our dedicated web site, which provides many useful resources, including certain disclosure examples, and continues to be updated to reflect latest developments. This website also discusses the accounting for COVID-19-related rent concessions by both lessees and lessors. We have therefore not illustrated any related disclosures in this publication.

6 Our fact pattern further assumes that VALUE ifrs Plc will not be affected by interest rate benchmark reform. However, entities with hedging relationships and entities that have exposure to interest rates where (i) the interest rates are dependent on interbank offered rates (IBORs), and (ii) these IBORs are subject to interest rate benchmark reform may need to explain the changes to their accounting policies arising from the adoption of the Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Phase 2 Amendments to ifrs 9, IAS 39, ifrs 7, ifrs 4 and ifrs 16 Leases. These entities may also need to provide additional disclosures, including information about risks arising from IBOR reform, how the entity manages transition to the alternative benchmark rate(s) and quantitative information about derivatives and non-derivatives that have yet to transition. Our Practical guide to Phase 2 amendments to ifrs 9, IAS 39, ifrs 7, ifrs 4 and ifrs 16 for interest rate benchmark (IBOR) reform includes example disclosures which illustrate both phase 1 and phase 2 amendments to ifrs 7 for a cash flow hedge and other financial instruments typical of a corporate entity which applies ifrs 9 to its hedge accounting relationships.

7 There were no other amendments to standards that apply from 1 January 2021, see Appendix D, and we have therefore not disclosed any changes in accounting policies in this publication. However, if an entity did change its accounting policies as a result of the amendments made in relation to COVID-19-related rent concessions and IBOR Phase 2 and the change had a material impact on the reported amounts, this would need to be appropriately disclosed. Disclosing climate-related risks in the financial statements Climate-related risks could have a significant impact on an entity s operations and financial performance and users of the financial statements are increasingly looking for evidence that the entity has incorporated climate risk factors when making estimates and judgements in the preparation of financial statements. The accounting standards have an overarching requirement to disclose information that users need for them to understand the impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the entity s financial position and financial performance.

8 Therefore, in light of the current focus on, and impact of, climate change, entities should ensure that they have undertaken a rigorous assessment to provide all the material and relevant information affecting the financial statements. The IASB has issued educational material which contains a non-exhaustive list of examples regarding how climate risk might affect the measurement and disclosure requirements of various standards and the various paragraphs of those standards that might be referenced in determining how to incorporate such risks. The material also discusses materiality and while it does not add or change the requirements in the standards , it is useful material that users and preparers might benefit from when preparing and assessing ifrs financial statements. Our dedicated climate change website provides useful industry specific information and links to guidance from standard-setters and other organisations.

9 PwC 4 Early adoption of standards VALUE ifrs Plc generally only adopts standards early if they clarify existing practice, such as the amendments made by the IASB as part of the improvements programme, but do not introduce substantive changes. As required under ifrs , the impacts of standards and interpretations that have not been early adopted and that are expected to have a material effect on the entity are disclosed in accounting policy note 25(a). A summary of all pronouncements relevant for annual reporting periods ending on or after 31 December 2021 is included in Appendix D. For updates after the cut-off date for our publication, see Using this publication The source for each disclosure requirement is given in the reference column. Shading in this column indicates changes made as a result of new or revised requirements that become applicable for the first time this year and improvements are identified as revised illustration in the reference column, but not shaded.

10 There is also commentary that (i) explains some of the more challenging areas, (ii) lists disclosures that have not been included because they are not relevant to VALUE ifrs Plc, and (iii) provides additional disclosure examples. The appendices give further information about the operating and financial review (management commentary), alternative formats for the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows, and industry-specific disclosures. A summary of all standards that apply for the first time to annual reports beginning on or after 1 January 2021 is included in Appendix D, and abbreviations used in this publication are listed in Appendix E. As VALUE ifrs Plc is an existing preparer of ifrs consolidated financial statements, ifrs 1 First-time Adoption of international financial reporting standards does not apply.
