Mar 30, 2016
On March 30, 2016, the Corporate Reporting Dialogue (CRD), which brings together organizations that have significant international influence on the corporate reporting landscape, issued a statement comparing the definitions and approaches to materiality by CRD participants.
The statement includes a comparison of materiality from the following organizations:
- CDP
- Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB)
- Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
- Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)
- International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
- International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC)
- International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
- Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB)
In October 2015, the IASB published an exposure draft on the concept of materiality, which explains and illustrates the concept of materiality and helps preparers of financial statements when applying the concept.
For more information, see the statement on the CRD’s website.
