Annual improvements – 2007-2009 cycle

Background

The annual improvements project provides a vehicle for making non-urgent but necessary amendments to IFRSs.

This page deals with the finalisation of a number of proposed amendments included in exposure drafts of proposed amendments to IFRSs published in October 2007, August 2008, and January 2009.

Consequently, at the completion of this project, all the issues included in the three exposure drafts will be finalised or removed from the IASB's agenda.

 

Current status of the project

This project has been completed. The IASB issued Improvements to IFRSs on 16 April 2009.
