Submissions are invited that can provide evidence to inform the standard-setting activities of the IASB.

Particular areas of interest include:

  • Evidence relevant to the forthcoming post-implementation reviews of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entitiesand IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations;
  • The challenges of conducting effective post-implementation reviews (e.g., IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement);
  • World-wide use of IFRS Standards and the IFRS for SMEs Standard: costs and benefits;
  • Intangible assets (recognition versus disclosure, business value creation, key resources and intangibles);
  • Liabilities vs. equity (possible improvements to the classification of financial instruments);
  • Performance reporting/primary financial statements (exploring effects of alternative formats for financial statements);
  • Rule- vs. principles-based accounting standards (with a particular focus on disclosure requirements); and
