I have on e query regarding IAS 19-Employee benefits.
Because actuarial gains and losses may fluctuate and reverse over time, IAS 19 does not require immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses. Instead, an employer may choose to only recognize a portion of the actuarial gains and losses to the extent that the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses at the end of the previous reporting period exceeded the greater of: (a) 10 percent of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at that date and (b) 10 percent of the fair value of any plan assets at that date (corridor mechanism).
What does THAT DATE actually refer to ?
