The amendments require an entity to disclose the following for its supplier finance arrangements:

• the terms and conditions of the arrangements;
• the carrying amounts and associated line items of financial liabilities in the statement of financial position that are part of a supplier finance arrangement, with breakup of the amounts for which the suppliers have already received payment from the finance providers;
• ranges of payment due dates; and
