At its meeting in September the IASB decided to hold an additional Board meeting on 2 October 2008. This extra meeting is to discuss potential amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and a revised version of the staff draft of the forthcoming exposure draft of a proposed IFRS on consolidation.
The IASB has already accelerated its work on these two issues in response to the recommendations of the Financial Stability Forum, and holding the additional meeting will enable the staff to make faster progress on those projects.
Because the meeting has been arranged at short notice, some Board members will be taking part via video conferencing facilities. To make allowance for the different time zones involved the meeting will be held in two sessions, one in the morning and the same topics of discussion repeated in the afternoon.
The morning session will take place between 9am and 12 midday (London time, GMT +1), and the afternoon session between 3pm and 6pm (London time, GMT +1).
Both sessions are open to observers. To register as an observer, click here.
Interested parties unable to attend as observers are invited to listen to the sessions via the Internet. To listen to the Board meeting, click here.
Observer notes and a list of participating Board members for each meeting will be available on this Website from Tuesday 30 September.
