Investment funds – Illustrative disclosures

Your essential year-end guide

Our Guides to financial statements help you to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards by illustrating one possible format. 

Our Guide to annual financial statements – Illustrative disclosures for investment funds is based on a fictitious tax-exempt open-ended single-fund investment company, which is not a first-time adopter of IFRS Accounting Standards. 

It reflects IFRS Accounting Standards in issue at 30 November 2023 that are required to be applied for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2023. 

The 2024 edition includes an illustration of new disclosures relating to Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2).
