Revised Reporting Model – PSAB
At its meeting on September 26-27, 2019, the PSAB reviewed the feedback related to Chapters 3,4,5,7 and 9. The feedback included:
- how the notion of service capacity is broad and cannot be fully articulated in financial statements;
- how some of the control discussion contradicts aspects of Section PS 1300, Government Reporting Entity;
- including definitions of economic resources and economic obligations;
- support for the improvements to the qualitative characteristics;
- the need to document the implication, if any, of removing the term “conservatism” in Section PS 3300, Contingent Liabilities, and Section PS 3320, Contingent Assets;
- the redundancy in the general recognition and derecognition criteria; and
- the strong support for removing the recognition exclusions from the conceptual framework.
PSAB also reviewed (a) revised Chapters 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 that would be part of the Exposure Draft for a revised conceptual framework; and (b) the accompanying basis for conclusions document related to Chapters 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9, and provided their feedback to the Task Force for consideration. The Board will receive an update on the Exposure Draft’s development at the December 2019 Board meeting.
