Legal status

Disclosure focus

This page should explain the two-part risk management disclosure objective and map preparers to paragraph 44. It should help users understand the entity’s risk and opportunity processes, their integration into overall risk management, and the entity’s overall risk profile and overall risk management process.

This LRA educational guidance supports disclosure preparation. For the exact requirements, always refer to the official IFRS Foundation source.
