IFRS Interpretations Committee agenda discussions

Background

The IFRS Interpretations Committee does not take all matters referred to it onto its agenda for resolution.  This project page provides a summary of Committee discussions where the issues are not taken onto the Committee agenda.

We also maintain a separate project page for each pronouncement, with a full history of all agenda decisions made in respect of that pronouncement.  These can be found on our About IFRS Interpretations Committee agenda decisions page.
