Research plan update
Date recorded:
Alan Teixeira presented the IASB staff’s proposal for enhancing the research capacity at the IASB.
The Agenda paper prepared of this session offers a summary of the main proposals.
Specific outward facing proposals include:
- Creation of a research page on the IASB’s website that gathers together information about the IASB and its activities that would be of interest to researchers and academics.
- Creation of a subscriber base for email alerts that would inform subscribers about matters of interest to researchers concerned with IFRSs.
- Holding research activities such as symposiums or conferences on an ad hoc basis.
- Identifying a network of academics and national standard-setters who are able to provide English translations of foreign-language research.
- Maintaining a list of issues on which the IASB believes it would benefit from research.
- Establishing a Research Fellowship programme, aimed at academics on sabbatical leave and other research professionals on secondment from their primary organisation.
