Conceptual Framework Phase G — Application to not-for-profit entities

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 G will consider the applicability of the concepts developed in earlier phases to not-for-profit entities in the private sector.

Current status of the project

The IASB and FASB did not deliberate this phase of the project.

As a result of the IASB's Agenda Consultation project, the IASB decided in September 2012 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. The IASB-only project will not encompass further work on this phase as the current focus of the IASB is on business entities in the private sector.
