Post-implementation review — IFRS 8

Background

The IASB carries out a post-implementation review of each new IFRS or major amendment. This is normally carried out two years after the new requirements have become mandatory and been implemented.

The objectives of a post-implementation review, according to the IASB's Due Process Handbook, are:

  • to review the important issues that had been identified as contentious during the development of the pronouncement
  • to consider any unexpected costs or implementation problems that have been encountered.

This page covers the IASB's post-implementation review of IFRS 8 Operating Segments.

 

Current status of the project

The post-implementation review process for IFRS 8 was initiated in the first quarter of 2012.  A Request for Information Post-implementation Review: IFRS 8 Operating Segments was issued in July 2012.  A report summarising the outcomes from the review is expected to be issued in the second quarter of 2013.
