IAS 10 provides guidance on accounting for events that occur after the reporting period but before the financial statements are authorized for issue. It distinguishes between adjusting events, which require changes to amounts recognized in the financial statements, and non-adjusting events, which require disclosure in the notes but do not result in changes to amounts recognized. Key definitions include adjusting events arising from conditions existing at the end of the reporting period and non-adjusting events arising from conditions that did not exist until after the reporting period. Declared dividends are considered material non-adjusting events requiring disclosure in the notes.
