Subject to the exceptions and exemptions listed later in this section and discussed in detail in sections 3 and 4 of this guide, a first-time adopter is
required to:
• recognise all assets and liabilities whose recognition is required by IFRSs;
• not recognise items as assets and liabilities if IFRSs do not permit such recognition;
• reclassify items recognised under previous GAAP as one type of asset, liability or component of equity, but which are a different type of asset,
liability or component of equity under IFRSs; and
• apply IFRSs in measuring all recognised assets and liabilities.
