What the document covers
The guidance supports directors approving FY2021 statements in the pandemic-era reporting environment. The period-specific background is important to interpreting its examples.
Specific requirements and implications
The guidance gives examples involving disposal of an associate, loans advanced and acquisition of non-controlling interests, which require attention to their investing or financing character. Going-concern forecasts should consider interacting risks and the withdrawal of government support rather than simply repeat past trends. Impairment assessment must also consider both relevant measures of recoverable amount. The cited review percentages describe a selected sample, not the failure rate of all Singapore companies.
