IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting
You need to Sign in to use this feature
An interim financial report is a complete or condensed set of financial statements for a period shorter than a financial year. IAS 34 does not specify which entities must publish an interim financial report. That is generally a matter for laws and government regulations. IAS 34 applies if an entity using IFRS Standards in its annual financial statements publishes an interim financial report that asserts compliance with IFRS Standards.
IAS 34 prescribes the minimum content of such an interim financial report. It also specifies the accounting recognition and measurement principles applicable to an interim financial report.
The minimum content is a set of condensed financial statements for the current period and comparative prior period information, ie statement of financial position, statement of comprehensive income, statement of cash flows, statement of changes in equity, and selected explanatory notes. In some cases, a statement of financial position at the beginning of the prior period is also required. Generally, information available in the entity’s most recent annual report is not repeated or updated in the interim report. The interim report deals with changes since the end of the last annual reporting period.
The same accounting policies are applied in the interim report as in the most recent annual report, or special disclosures are required if an accounting policy is changed. Assets and liabilities are recognised and measured for interim reporting on the basis of information available on a year-to-date basis. While measurements in both annual financial statements and interim financial reports are often based on reasonable estimates, the preparation of interim financial reports will generally require a greater use of estimation methods than annual financial statements.
Standard history
In April 2001 the International Accounting Standards Board adopted IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting , which had originally been issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee in 2000. IAS 34 that was issued in 2000 replaced the original version that was published in February 1998.
Other Standards have made minor consequential amendments to IAS 34. They include Improvements to IFRSs (issued May 2010), IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (issued May 2011), Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (Amendments to IAS 1) (issued June 2011), Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2009–2011 Cycle (issued May 2012), Investment Entities (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27) (issued October 2012), IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (issued May 2014), Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012–2014 Cycle (issued September 2014), Disclosure Initiative (Amendments to IAS 1) (issued December 2014), IFRS 16 Leases (issued January 2016), IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (issued May 2017), Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards (issued March 2018) and Definition of Material (Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8) (issued October 2018) and Disclosure of Accounting Policies (issued February 2021).

On-demand talent can push key objectives forward amid an increase in m&a deals.

Sunny Ackerman is the global managing partner for Heidrick & Struggles' on-demand talent practice.
As we settle into the latter half of 2024, mergers and acquisitions and other business transformation initiatives are likely to be top of mind for many business leaders. Consider EY’s May 2024 “ Deal Barometer ,” which predicts that in the United States, “corporate M&A deal volume will increase 20%.” The firm also estimated that M&A deal volume will increase by 16% in the private equity world. Additionally, in Deloitte’s “ 2024 M&A Trends Survey ,” 83% of corporate and private equity respondents indicated in fall 2023 that they “expect their own organization’s deal volume to increase ‘somewhat’ or ‘significantly’” in the next twelve months. Additionally, data calculated based on the internal propriety data of Business Talent Group, a Heidrick & Struggles company, revealed that from 2022 to 2023, overall, transaction-related needs rose 33%, M&A and integration-related needs rose 47%; and divestiture, carve-out, spin-out, separation and exit-related needs rose 16%.
Given the projected increase in M&A deal activity, I expect to see an increased need for on-demand talent in 2024 and beyond to push key objectives forward, executing strategic goals to close deals and facilitate seamless transitions post-closure.
Rising Calls For On-Demand Talent
Research shows that there is currently increased interest in on-demand talent. In its “ 2024 High-End Independent Talent Report ,” Business Talent Group found that calls for interim CFOs “rose 46% YOY, and demand for SVP and VP-level finance talent such as Controllers and heads of FP&A surged 114%.” Additionally, the report revealed that 27% “of all talent requests were for individuals or teams to execute and support major change initiatives, and demand for talent to assist with change management and post-merger integration projects each increased by 26% year over year.” Demands for interim talent, the report found, are seen across industries. For example, interim leadership topped other demands at 60% and 45% in private equity and healthcare, respectively.
The uptick in calls for on-demand talent is not surprising, considering how long it can take to hire a full-time executive. For a company undergoing an M&A deal, going without a C-suite executive for months on end can make it lose its strategic edge and momentum and, ultimately, lead to a bad or failed deal. Per an article in the Harvard Business Review , most studies have found that “between 70 and 90 percent of acquisitions fail.” Leadership is a critical determinant of whether an M&A succeeds or not. A five-year study by leadership expert J. Keith Dunbar revealed that “leadership capabilities in acquiring companies (specifically, skill in the broad areas of thought leadership, results leadership, and people leadership) predict M&A success, but leadership capabilities in targeted companies are equally important.”

Today’s nyt mini crossword clues and answers for friday, august 16, thursday, august 15. russia’s war on ukraine: news and information from ukraine, how on-demand executives can give companies clear direction during m&as.
Instead of waiting for possibly months on end to find the right full-time candidate with the ideal balance of skills and experience, companies can leverage the specialized expertise of on-demand talent in different areas, including finance, technology and marketing, to cover leadership gaps and swiftly start problem-solving.
On-demand executives can bring a wealth of experience to companies—experience that organizations might not otherwise be easily able to access. By virtue of being external consultants, on-demand executives can bring two other key benefits to companies undergoing M&A deals. First, because they’ve usually worked with many different organizations, they can offer diverse, new, flexible perspectives, identifying opportunities for refining processes and innovating in a quick, hands-on manner. Second, because they are not deeply entrenched in the day-to-day, they can closely focus on completing key deliverables to get M&A deals to the finish line—and maximize the chances of success after transactions close.
For Optimal Results, Companies Must Strategically Weave On-Demand Talent Into Their Operations
On-demand executives can offer companies a significant strategic edge and momentum during M&As, but it’s not enough for a company to just plug in an interim executive on a whim. For the best results, organizations should understand the scope and desired outcomes of the project or role before bringing on a highly skilled interim leader to maximize the impact. While company executives should do their due diligence to understand their unique needs and what gap needs to be filled, interim executives are generally highly sought-after talent. As such, moving swiftly to bring on a proven leader is essential.
Additionally, company leaders should give the interim hire thorough onboarding when it comes to the company’s processes, team and other crucial matters. Even though an on-demand executive is only set to be with a company for a particular amount of time, the more information they have about the company, the better guidance they can provide during M&A transition periods—and the better results they can produce.
