The FAP has also recently finalised the Thai Financial
Reporting Standards (‘TFRS’) for Publicly
Accountable Entities (‘PAEs’) which will largely be
based on the equivalent IFRS with some notable
exceptions such as the adoption of accounting for
financial instruments (IAS 39), employee benefits (IAS
19) and deferred taxes (IAS 12).
By omitting accounting topics not relevant to NPAEs,
the FAP can offer a simpler accounting model with
significantly fewer disclosure requirements.
It is important to note that TFRS for NPAEs is
separate from full TFRS.
