  • IFRS - AcSB Image

May 06, 2020

On May 6, 2020, the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) issued its Exposure Draft that corresponds to the IASB’s Exposure Draft on this topic. In response to COVID-19, the exposure draft proposes to defer the effective date of the amendments to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Comments are requested by June 3, 2020.

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

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

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