The standard primarily aims to simplify financial statement preparation and reduce its cost for subsidiaries not subject to public accountability that prepare their financial statements in accordance with the full version of IFRS, provided the parent entity prepares its general-purpose financial statements under full IFRS. Application is optional, and early adoption is permitted, with the additional disclosures stipulated in the Kingdom's IFRS adoption document applying when the standard is used.
