Schedule of changes in accounting policies and disclosures


Amendments / standards	Description
Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 - Making Materiality Judgments	The amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 provide guidance and examples to help entities apply materiality judgments to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments aim to help entities provide more useful accounting policy disclosures by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their "material" accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their "material" accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality when making decisions about accounting policy disclosures. The amendments have had an impact on the Company’s disclosures of accounting policies, but not on the measurement, recognition or presentation of any items in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors - Definition of Accounting Estimates	The amendments to IAS 8 clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates, changes in accounting policies and correction of errors. They also clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates. These amendments have no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 12 - Income Taxes - International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules	In October 2021, more than 130 countries agreed to implement a minimum tax regime for multinational groups, known as Pillar Two, to reform the international corporate taxation. Pillar Two aims to ensure that multinational groups in scope are liable to a minimum effective corporate tax rate of 15 per cent per country. In December 2021, the OECD released the Pillar Two model rules - accompanied by commentary and guidelines - which are due to be passed into national legislation but adapted by local conditions. In response to the OECD's Pillar Two rules, the amendments to IAS 12 were introduced and include: (i) a mandatory temporary exception to the recognition and disclosure of deferred taxes arising from the jurisdictional implementation of the Pillar Two model rules; and (ii) disclosure requirements for affected entities to help users of the financial statements better understand an entity's exposure to Pillar Two income taxes arising from this legislation, especially prior to the effective date. The countries where the Company has its tax domicile have not yet enacted any tax legislation in connection with Pillar Two. Therefore, these amendments have no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 2023
Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes - Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction	The amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception, so that it no longer applies to transactions that generate equal taxable and deductible temporary differences, such as leases and decommissioning liabilities. These amendments have no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts	IFRS 17 is a new accounting standard with scope for insurance contracts, covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4 - Insurance Contracts. IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts (such as life, property and casualty, direct insurance and reinsurance), regardless of the type of entities issuing them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation characteristics; Some scope exceptions will apply. The overall objective of IFRS 17 is to provide a comprehensive accounting model for insurance contracts that is most useful and consistent for insurers, covering all relevant accounting aspects. The Company does not have any contracts that meet the definition of an insurance contract under IFRS 17.

New standards, interpretations and amendments issued but not yet effective

The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented below. The Company intends to adopt these new and amended standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective.


Amendments / standards	Description
Amendments to IFRS 16: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback	In September 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 to specify the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring lease liability arising from a sale and lease back transaction, in order to ensure that the seller-lessee does not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use that it holds. The amendments are effective for annual financial statements periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024 and shall apply retrospectively to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the initial application date of IFRS 16. Early adoption is permitted but must be disclosed.
Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current	In January 2020 and October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify: • What is meant by the right to postpone liquidation; • That the right to defer should exist at the end of the financial reporting period; • That the rating is not affected by the likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer; • That only if a derivative embedded in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument, the terms of a liability will not affect its classification. In addition, a disclosure requirement has been introduced where a liability arising from a loan agreement is classified as non-current and the entity's right to postpone liquidation is contingent on the fulfilment of future covenants within twelve months. The changes are effective for annual financial statement periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024 and should be applied retrospectively.
Supplier Financing Agreements - Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7	In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 to clarify the characteristics of supplier financing arrangements and require additional disclosures of such arrangements. The disclosure requirements in the amendments are intended to assist users of the financial statements in understanding the effects of financing arrangements with suppliers on an entity's obligations, cash flows, and exposure to liquidity risk. The changes are effective for annual financial statement periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Early adoption is permitted but must be disclosed.
