Title Description
Business combinations – Combinations by contract alone or involving mutual entities Discontinued 2004. The IASB decided not to finalise its proposals, but rather deal with the issues in Phase II of the business combinations project.

Business combinations – Phase I Completed 2004. IFRS 3 'Business Combinations', and revised versions of IAS 36 'Impairment of Assets' and IAS 38 'Intangible Assets', were issued on 31 March 2004.
Consolidation — Comprehensive project Completed 2011. IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements' was issued on 12 May 2011, implementing a single consolidation model based on the concept of control replacing both IAS 27 and SIC-12.

IAS 27 – Control by a fiduciary Discontinued 2004. IFRIC removed this issue from its agenda at its May 2004 meeting as the IASB will consider the matter as part of its project on consolidation.

This project will not be finalised. Instead the IASB issued amendments deferring the effective date of the September 2014 amendments to IAS 28, IFRS 10 and IFRS 12 on 17 December 2015.
IAS 28 — Reflecting other net asset changes when applying the equity method of accounting Discontinued 2014. In light of insufficient members in favour of approving finalised amendments at the IASB's May 2014 meeting, the IASB will not proceed with the originally proposed amendments to provide guidance on whether and where an investor should account for its share of the changes in the net assets of the associate that are not recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income (OCI) of the associate (i.e. ‘other net asset changes’).
