SEC public hearing on revision of financial statement forms for securities companies and derivatives business operators



Monday 3 September 2018 | No. 101 / 2018


Bangkok, 3 September 2018 – SEC is seeking public comments on revision of draft notification on financial statement forms for securities companies and derivatives business operators to raise financial reporting creditability to meet international standards and to be consistent with the revised financial reporting standards of the Thailand Federation of Accounting Professions.

SEC is conducting a public hearing on draft notification on financial statement forms for securities companies and derivatives business operators to be in line with Thai Financial Reporting Standard No. 9 (TFRS9) issued by the Thailand Federation of Accounting Professions under the Royal Patronage of His Majesty the King. The new financial statements will contain useful information for users of financial statements and more accurately reflect the business model and business risks.

The revision of financial statement forms, including related documents will cover revision of business transaction names, explanations, and notes to financial statements in the statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income and revision of the reporting of items of the statement of changes in owner’s equity and the cash flow statement. The public hearing in principle was held by SEC in early 2018 and comments of business operators were taken into consideration in preparing this draft notification to make the financial statement forms more concise.

The revised rules will be applicable to the financial statements for the accounting period commencing from 1 January 2020 and following periods. A Business operator, if ready, may apply these rules to the financial statements for the accounting period commencing from 1 January 2019.

The consultation paper is available at www.sec.or.th/hearing. Stakeholders and interested parties are welcome to submit comments and recommendations via the website, facsimile to 0-2033-9660, or email: patana@sec.or.th. The public hearing ends on 1 October 2018.
