The revised exemption would not require state-controlled entities to assess the extent of state influence and would exempt such entities from providing full details about transactions with other state-controlled entities and the state.
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures requires entities to provide disclosures about transactions with related parties. However, state-controlled entities may find it difficult and costly to provide all the required details for transactions with other state-controlled entities. The IASB believes that it is possible to omit some of the required details while still providing sufficient information to users of financial statements.
The revised exemption would not require state-controlled entities to assess the extent of state influence. It would exempt such entities from providing full details about transactions with other state-controlled entities and the state. Instead, it would require general disclosures about the types and extent of significant transactions.
