31 March 2016
The IFRS® Foundation has today published the IFRS Taxonomy 2016, which is consistent with IFRS® Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board® at 13 January 2016, including Standards published but not yet effective at that date.
The IFRS Taxonomy is a representation of IFRS Standards in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) and is the IFRS Foundations's initiative to enable electronic transfer of the information in IFRS financial statements.
The IFRS Taxonomy 2016 incorporates the Taxonomy Update 1 and Taxonomy Update 2 published in December 2015.
These updates relate to the 2015 Amendments to the IFRS for SMEs® Standard and common practice, respectively. The Proposed Taxonomy Update 3, relating to IFRS 16 Leases was published in January 2016, and the final changes have been incorporated directly within the IFRS Taxonomy 2016.
