ALERT! The spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) may affect your financial report!

18 February, 2020

Did you know?

Coronavirus (COVID-19) may affect not only yourself, your family, your community, but also your ... financial report for December 2019 year end. If you have business in China or with Chinese-based entities, this is a must read.

What's the issue?

The biggest question is whether coronavirus (COVID-19) should be accounted for an adjusting or non-adjusting event. 

The conditions that existed at 31 December 2019 was:

  • A limited number of cases of an unknown virus had been reported to the World Health Organisation.
  • No explicit evidence of human-to-human transmission.

The subsequent spread of the virus and its identification as a new coronavirus (COVID-19) does not provide additional evidence about the situation that existed at 31 December 2019, and it is therefore a non-adjusting event.
