The IFRS Foundation has today published IFRS Taxonomy 2018—Proposed Update 1 Common Practice (IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement) for public consultation. Those proposed changes result from the analysis of reporting practice relating to the disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.

Including common practice content in the IFRS Taxonomy enables more consistent tagging of financial statements prepared applying IFRS Standards by reducing the need for companies and regulators to create their own taxonomy elements.
The Proposed IFRS Taxonomy Update 1/2018 includes changes to the IFRS Taxonomy 2018 reflecting common reporting practice for the disclosure requirements in IFRS 13, including:
The Proposed IFRS Taxonomy Update 1/2018 is open for comment until 19 November 2018.
