AcSB Exposure Draft – General Presentation and Disclosures

  • IFRS - AcSB Image

Jan 15, 2020

On January 15, 2020, the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) released an exposure draft that corresponds to the International Accounting Standards Board's (IASB) exposure draft of a new standard "General Presentation and Disclosures" that is intended to replace IAS 1, "Presentation of Financial Statements". Comments are requested by June 30, 2020.

The AcSB would like input from Canadian respondents on the following additional question regarding the proposed amendments:

  • The IASB has developed the proposed amendments in accordance with its due process for application around the world. Assuming the Exposure Draft proposals are finalized and approved by the IASB in accordance with its due process, do you think that the proposals are appropriate for application in Canada? If not, please specify which aspects of the proposals, and what circumstances, make the accounting requirements proposed in the Exposure Draft inappropriate.

Review the press release and exposure draft on the AcSB's website.
