Get ready for MFRS 18 - Management-defined performance measures

insight featured image
Given the prevalence and usefulness of alternative performance measures (APMs), MFRS 18 introduces new disclosure requirements in relation to the use of a narrowly defined set of APMs, referred to as ‘management-defined performance measures’ (MPMs).

While the use of APMs is subject to regulation in most jurisdictions, MFRS 18's objective is to increase transparency and discipline, by making MPMs subject to the same disclosure requirements regardless of the entity’s jurisdiction. To meet this objective MFRS 18 requires entities to pull into a single financial statement note, all disclosures concerning measures identified by management as ‘management-defined performance measures’. For these newly defined MPMs, MFRS 8 requires the disclosure of the income tax effect, as well as the effect on non-controlling interests, for each item disclosed in the reconciliation of MPMs to Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards subtotals or totals. This represents a new requirement, even for most jurisdictions with existing regulations on APMs.

This publication series sets out a high-level overview of MFRS 18’s new requirements, along with practical insights into the application challenges. In this series we will be looking at the management-defined performance measures.
