  • Deloitte comment letter on the IASB's proposed changes regarding onerous contracts

    published 15 Apr 2019

Drawing on the summary report of the EU and on further analysis of individual responses that were made public by the EU, it can be concluded that there is little support for changes to the current endorsement process and for the introduction of an ability for Europe to modify the content of IFRS.
