Clarifications arising from the post-implementation review of IFRS 8

Background

The IASB carries out a post-implementation review of each new IFRS or major amendment. In July 2013, the IASB completed the post-implementation review of IFRS 8 Operating Segments. The final report concluded that the benefits of applying the standard were largely as expected and that overall the standard achieved its objectives and has improved financial reporting. However, the IASB identified a number of issues that could be considered for improvement and that warranted further investigation.

 

Current status of the project
