IASB meetings
|
IASB meetings are normally held every month and last between three and five days.
In these meetings, IASB members discuss the technical issues that arise from research by staff, and from consultation with groups such as the IFRIC, SAC, working groups and other interested parties.
These meetings are open to the public. Interested parties can attend the meeting either in person as an observer, or by listening and viewing the meeting via our Webcast. Anyone wishing to attend as an observer will need to register beforehand, via our Website.
Meeting agendas and observer notes |
|
The IASB staff prepare papers that are distributed to Board members before the meeting. These papers are available to the public (in the form of observer notes) on this Website in the week before the meeting, along with the meeting agenda. Sometimes a Board paper, or parts of a Board paper, will not be available to the public.
Generally, this is because the topic is a staff interpretation of an IFRS or because the paper is dealing with administrative matters. But these circumstances are the exception and the observer notes are generally the same papers as those distributed to the Board.
In addition to the technical discussions, the Board holds educational and informational sessions. These are normally presented by the staff, although some sessions are presented by people from organisations with an interest or expertise in a particular project. These sessions are also public.
On occasion, the Board will hold public meetings between the monthly meetings. You should monitor this Website, which provides information on when these meetings will be held.
IASB Update and Webcast
After a meeting has finished, the decisions made are summarised in the form of a publication called ‘IASB Update’ and this is made available to all on this Website.
The Webcast of the meeting is also available to view on this Website (these can be accessed from relevant IASB Project pages) and past meetings are archived for future use.
