Conceptual Framework Phase C — Measurement

As a result of the IASB's Agenda Consultation project, the IASB decided to reactivate the Conceptual Framework project as an IASB-only comprehensive project. We have created a separate page for this new project.

Background

At their joint meeting in October 2004, the IASB and the US FASB decided to add to their respective agendas a joint project to develop a common conceptual framework, based on and built on both the existing IASB Framework and the FASB Conceptual Framework, that both Boards would use as a basis for their accounting standards.

The Conceptual Framework project is being conducted in eight phases. Phase C deals with how the various elements of the financial statements (such as assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses) should be measured.

Current status of the project

The IASB and FASB began deliberations on this phase of the project but no due process documents were issued.

As a result of the IASB's Agenda Consultation project, the IASB decided to reactivate the Conceptual Framework project as an IASB-only comprehensive project. This project will consider the elements of financial statements, measurement, reporting entity, presentation and disclosure.
