Non-adjusting events are occurrences that take place between the balance-sheet date and the approval of financial statements by the board of directors. These events do not relate to conditions that existed at the balance-sheet date but necessitate disclosure if they are material to the financial statements.
Post-balance-sheet events, also known as subsequent events, are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. These events sometimes impact the financial reporting and disclosures of the entity.
