New accounting pronouncements NIF 2024

As part of the update process, the Mexican Financial Reporting Standards Council (CINIF by its acronym in Spanish) issued the document Improvements to Financial Reporting Standards (NIF) 2024. The new accounting pronouncements apply for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and aim to improve certain aspects of the NIF, seeking to achieve convergence with the International Financial Reporting Standards (NIIF by its acronym in Spanish); however, in other cases, changes in the NIF have as priority solving local issues even when convergence with international accounting regulations is not achieved.

The Improvements to the NIF 2024 are classified into two sections:

• Section I. Modifications to the NIF that, in accordance with NIF B-1 Accounting Changes and Correction of Errors, generate accounting changes in the valuation, submission, or disclosure in the financial statements of the entities; and
• Section II. Modifications to the NIF to make specific clarifications with the objective of establishing a clearer and more understandable regulatory approach and, therefore, do not generate accounting changes in the financial statements.

Financial reports (balance sheets, income statements, financial notes, and disclosures) are the language for communicating information about a company's financial condition. Therefore, each entity must provide high-quality financial information to the market to allow local and foreign investors to make better decisions. The inadequate use of NIF may cause capital markets to function less efficiently, raising costs for all participants and sectors of the economy, and generating problems related to the compliance with tax obligations.
