EFRAG has submitted its letters of comment to the IASB and IFRIC on the following draft documents IASB Draft Memorandum of Understanding on the Role of Accounting Standard-setters and the IFRIC Review of Operations.
In relation to the IASB Draft Memorandum of Understanding on the Role of Accounting Standard-setters, EFRAG comments as follows:
"Preparing the draft Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been a useful exercise.
We are not sure though that there are any significant benefits to be gained by developing the draft into a final document that is then signed by all the parties."
