From 1 January 2027, the new IFRS 18 standard must be applied. It is intended to lead to consistent, transparent and comparable financial reporting. It is already clear that the new regulations will bring about far-reaching changes.

IFRS 18 is particularly relevant to the Treasury function because the new standard revises the rules governing the presentation and classification of financial transactions in the profit and loss account (P&L). This may, for example, have an impact on the reporting of interest expense, financing costs or foreign exchange effects.

In this VDT online event, Diana Oehlsen and Norman Will from Deloitte’s Treasury Advisory Team highlighted which treasury transactions are particularly affected and what the implications will be for treasury processes and systems.

The session was chaired by Lisa Schäfer, a member of the VDT’s Risk Management department.

We would like to thank everyone involved for helping to make the events a success, and the participants for their very positive feedback.
