22.5 IFRS/ASPE Key Differences

Item ASPE IFRS
Related Parties In addition to disclosure of related party balances and transactions, some related party transactions may need to be remeasured to the carrying amount, rather than the transaction amount. The presence of related parties needs to be disclosed, along with details of transactions and balances with related parties.
Key Management There is no specific disclosure requirement for key management compensation. Disclosure of compensation paid to key management personnel is required.
Subsequent Events Subsequent events are considered up to the date that the financial statements are completed, which may require some judgment. Periods after the reporting date must be considered up to the date that the financial statements are authorized for issue.
Interim Reporting N/A Provides guidance but no required disclosures. Accruals and accounting policies should be applied in the same way as is done in the annual financial statements.
Segmented Reporting N/A Reportable segments are defined by characteristics and significance tests. Disclosures can be extensive and include reconciliation of key line items such as revenue, profits/losses, assets, and liabilities to the core financial statements.
