IFRS 5 — Definition of 'discontinued operations'

Background

In their joint project on financial statement presentation, the IASB and FASB decided to develop a common definition of discontinued operations and require common disclosures about components of an entity that have been (or will be) disposed of. In order to avoid delay, the boards decided to address these issues separately from the financial statement presentation project.

Accordingly, the goal of this project is to amplify the definition of a discontinued operation in IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.
