Consultation Paper 2, Reviewing PSAB’s Approach to International Public Sector Accounting Standards
May 08, 2019
On May 8, 2019, the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) released its second International Strategy consultation paper. This paper summarizes feedback they heard on their first paper in 2018. The options are clarified to better support stakeholders’ feedback on the important question PSAB will be answering by March 2020 – what is the future of Canada’s public sector accounting international strategy? Comments are requested by September 30, 2019.
The purpose of this second Consultation Paper on International Strategy is to:
- summarize respondents’ feedback to Consultation Paper 1, notably the decision-making criteria and options outlined therein;
- clarify the options;
- describe the updated decision-making criteria that reflects the feedback; and
- apply the updated criteria to each of the options.
With this second Consultation Paper, PSAB anticipates being in a position to decide on its approach to IPSAS by March 2020 at its regular Board Meeting.
