IDW:
Technical Advice on the Effects of the War in Ukraine on Accounting and Auditing Updated

The IDW updated its Technical Advice on the Effects of the War in Ukraine on Accounting and Auditing (in German) on 8 April 2022 because the effects of the Ukraine War will be reflected in the balance sheets and profit and loss statements of the companies affected for the first time at the end of the first quarter.

The update contains various issues on the effects on accounting for key dates after the outbreak of war (in Chapters 3 (German Commercial Code) and 4 (IFRS)).

The explanations on the effects on annual financial statements can now be found in Chapter 5. Furthermore, issues relating to peculiarities for consolidated financial statements and reporting on violations of sanctions (Sections 5.4 and 5.8) and on the effects on contractual relationships of the sanctions imposed (Chapter 6) are also included.

WPK reported on the publication of the Technical Advice at “Neu auf WPK.de” of 24 March 2022 (in German).
