IASB/IASCF complete first two IFRS for SMEs workshops

29 Jan 2010

The IASB and IASCF have completed the first two three-day workshops to 'train the trainers' on the IFRS for Small and Medium-sized Entities.

The two workshops were organised by the Confederation of Asian and Pacific Accountants (CAPA) and funded, in part, by the Asian Development Bank. They took place on 20-22 January 2010 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and on 25-27 January 2010 in Hyderabad, India (the latter at a new residential training facility provided by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India). Instructors were Paul Pacter, the IASB's Director of Standards for SMEs, and Michael Wells, Director of the IASCF's IFRS Education Initiative. There were 85 participants from 15 jurisdictions: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, North Korea, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Samoa, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. All participants have committed to organise similar IFRS for SMEs training workshops in their own country. The IASB will provide the training materials and PowerPoint presentations for those workshops. For more information contact Michael Wells at mwells@iasb.org.

First of two IFRS 2010 bound volumes now available

28 Jan 2010

The IASB has published IFRS Consolidated Without Early Application – the first of two bound volumes (BV) of IFRSs for 2010. This volume (nicknamed the "Blue Book") contains all official pronouncements that are mandatory on 1 January 2010. It does not include IFRSs with an effective date after 1 January 2010. For example, the Blue Book does not include IFRS 9 Financial Instruments because it has an effective date of 1 January 2013. The Blue Book differs from the traditional BV, which includes all pronouncements issued at the publication date, including those that do not become mandatory until a future date.

The IASB intends to publish the traditional BV (the "Red Book") in the next two months or so (it will be printed in two books because of the amount of content). The Blue Book and the Red Book set will each sell for £60 plus shipping (academic, developing country, and volume discounts apply). You will find more information and ordering details in this Bound Volume Brochure for 2010 (PDF 801k).
