The IASB favours issuing standards and amendments to be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January in any given year. Future changes are generally available for early adoption (subject to UK endorsement for UK preparers / EU endorsement for EU preparers).
The tables below summarises the amendments according to calendar years. Links are provided to our IFRS Accounting Standards pages where further details of the changes can be found.
The dates listed below are those stated within a standard or other pronouncement as issued by the IASB.

EU preparers are required to prepare their financial statements in accordance with IFRSs as adopted in the EU, and therefore can only apply accounting standards once they have been endorsed.
