The Trustees of the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) Foundation, the oversight body of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), today announced that they will seek further public input on the proposals related to the first part of the Constitution Review. A round-table discussion will be held in the coming weeks before the publication of the official consultation document.

The Trustees believe that this additional step will help them to bring the first part of the Constitution Review to a speedy conclusion. The round table follows other discussions that have been held with a number of stakeholders.

The first part of the Constitution Review is addressing two issues - the governance and public accountability of the Foundation and the composition of the IASB.

The IASC Foundation will announce further information about the public round table, including participation and timing, shortly. An updated timetable for the Constitution Review is provided in the downloadable PDF.
