Changes in the Accounting Act expected for 2024 and beyond

The amendments involve changes in the definitions of net turnover and functional currency, and the obligation to prepare sustainability and income tax reports. We will also focus on the possible accounting implications of further changes in tax legislation (unrealised foreign exchange differences, Pillar II). In the second part, we will present the basic concepts of the new draft Accounting Act that should come into effect from 2025. Among other things, we will also have a look at the valuation of assets and liabilities (fair value, reflecting the time value of money) and the recognition of rents and subsidies.

Who are the intended participants?

• Employees of accounting, tax, and controlling departments
