out in paragraphs 1–68 and Appendices A–C. All the paragraphs have equal authority.
Paragraphs in bold type state the main principles. Terms defined in Appendix A are
in italics the first time they appear in the MFRS. Definitions of other terms are given
in the Glossary for Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards. MFRS 3 should be read

Approved Accounting Standards and the Conceptual Framework for Financial
Reporting. MFRS 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and
Errors provides a basis for selecting and applying accounting policies in the absence
of explicit guidance.
