This page contains the current accounting standards for public benefit entities (PBEs) issued by the ASRB/XRB Board or the NZASB. These Standards apply to all PBE reporting entities preparing general purpose financial reports. A “public benefit entity” is an entity whose primary objective is to provide goods or services for community or social benefit and where any equity has been provided with a view to supporting that primary objective rather than for a financial return to equity holders.
These Standards are issued under section 24(1)(a) of the Financial Reporting Act 1993.
A PDF copy of the Standards can be downloaded by clicking on the relevant link below.
| Standard | Title | Issued in New Zealand | Date compiled to | Effective Date | Support Material |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Effective Date of a standard indicates the annual reporting period from which that standard applies. A standard also applies to subsequent annual reporting periods until that standard is superseded by a new/amended/revised standard. | |||||
