May 28, 2018
On May 28, 2018, the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) issued a Consultation Paper that introduces the criteria PSAB will use to make a decision on its future international strategy and illustrates the application of the criteria through four possible options. Stakeholders are encouraged to submit their responses by September 28, 2018.
The purpose of this Consultation Paper is to:
- make stakeholders aware of the process PSAB will follow in evaluating the international strategy that best serves the public sector;
- introduce stakeholders to the decision-making criteria the Board expects to consider in evaluating the international strategy that best serves the public sector;
- illustrate the application of the criteria, in bullet two above, in four unique proposals the Board believes are viable international strategies available in the public sector context;
- raise stakeholder awareness of the criteria the Board will consider in its decision making process in determining an appropriate option for its future international strategy; and
- solicit stakeholder input on the decision-making criteria and international options proposed.
