This document provides an overview of IAS 10, which addresses the accounting for events after the reporting period. It defines adjusting and non-adjusting events and how they are treated. Adjusting events provide evidence of conditions that existed at the reporting date and require adjustment to amounts recognized. Non-adjusting material events after the reporting period require disclosure only. The standard also addresses dividends declared after the period and the required disclosures regarding the date of authorization for issue and nature and estimate of financial effects of subsequent events.
