The International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSASB) has issued exposure draft ED 26 Improvements to International Public Sector Accounting Standards.

ED 26 proposes updates to 11 IPSASs to converge with the equivalent IFRSs issued by the IASB in December 2003 as part of the IASB's 'improvements project'. ED 26 is part of the IPSASB's program to converge IPSASs, which set out the requirements for financial reporting by governments and other public sector entities, and IFRSs, where the requirements of IFRSs are appropriate for the public sector. The following 11 standards are included in ED 26:
  • IPSAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
  • IPSAS 3 Net Surplus or Deficit for the Period, Fundamental Errors and Changes in Accounting Policies
  • IPSAS 4 The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
  • IPSAS 6 Consolidated Financial Statements and Accounting for Controlled Entities
  • IPSAS 7 Accounting for Investments in Associates
  • IPSAS 8 Financial Reporting of Interests in Joint Ventures
  • IPSAS 12 Inventories
  • IPSAS 13 Leases
  • IPSAS 14 Events After the Reporting Date
