- Definition The amount of expense relating to restructuring. Restructuring is a programme that is planned and controlled by management and materially changes either the scope of a business undertaken by an entity or the manner in which that business is conducted. Such programmes include: (a) the sale or termination of a line of business; (b) closure of business locations in a country or region or the relocation of activities from one country or region to another; (c) changes in management structure; and (d) fundamental reorganisations that have a material effect on the nature and focus of the entity's operations. + References Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/disclosureRef -Name IAS -Number 1 -IssueDate 2020-01-01 -Paragraph 98 -Subparagraph b -URI http://eifrs.ifrs.org/eifrs/xifrs-link?type=IAS&num=1&code=ifrs-tx-2020-en-r&anchor=para_98_b&doctype=Standard -URIDate 2020-01-01 + Details
