When Going Concern Fails: How to Report and Disclose Under IFRS

Few moments in corporate reporting carry as much weight as declaring that an entity is no longer a going concern.

Close Call Scenarios: How to Disclose Risks Without Spooking Investors

Few areas in financial reporting are as delicate as “close call” going concern scenarios. These situations occur when significant uncertainties exist, but management concludes that the entity can continue as a going concern—often due to mitigating actions such as refinancing plans, cost reductions, or operational turnarounds.

The recent changes introduced by IFRS 18 represent more than a technical reshuffle—they reflect a broader evolution in financial reporting transparency.
