About Working Groups

Working Groups give the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) access to additional practical experience and expertise. The IASB normally establishes working groups for its major projects.

Meetings of Working Groups are announced in advance, open to the public, and chaired by an IASB member. Comments from group members are included in the materials for discussion in IASB meetings.

The current IASB projects that utilise Working Groups are:

• Employee Benefits
• Financial Instruments
• Financial Statement Presentation
• Insurance
• Lease Accounting
• Accounting Standards for Small and Medium Sized Entities
