IFRS13-11 (Continued)
Evidence that an entity has started to implement a restructuring plan
would be provided, for example, by dismantling plant or selling assets
or by the public announcement of the main features of the plan. A
the entity will carry out the restructuring.
For a plan to be sufficient to give rise to a constructive obligation
when communicated to those affected by it, its implementation needs
to be planned to begin as soon as possible and to be completed in a
timeframe that makes significant changes to the plan unlikely. If it is
expected that there will be a long delay before the restructuring
begins or that the restructuring will take an unreasonably long time, it
is unlikely that the plan will raise a valid expectation on the part of
others that the entity is at present committed to restructuring,
because the timeframe allows opportunities for the entity to change
its plans.
