Final Stage

In May 2026 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued a new IFRS Accounting Standard to improve financial reporting for entities subject to a specific type of rate regulation. IFRS 20 Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities replaces IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts. IFRS 20 has an effective date of 1 January 2029. Earlier application is permitted.

Please visit the implementation page for IFRS 20 for information relating to the IASB’s activities to support the implementation of the Standard.
