(1)

Paragraph E4 was added as a consequence of Disclosures—Transfers of Financial Assets (Amendments to IFRS 7) issued in October 2010. To avoid the potential use of hindsight and to ensure that firsttime adopters are not disadvantaged as compared with current IFRS preparers, the Board decided that first-time adopters should be permitted to use the same transition provisions permitted for existing preparers of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSs that are included in Disclosures—Transfers of Financial Assets (Amendments to IFRS 7).
