Post-implementation review of IFRS 8 - upcoming roundtables and discussions
17 Sep, 2012
National standard setters around the world are offering discussion forums in order to collect feedback from stakeholders on the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB) Post-implementation Review of IFRS 8. The roundtables are intended to help the standard setters provide input to the IASB's deliberations. We have compiled a new up-to-date overview of roundtables coming up in the near future.
The post-implementation review process for IFRS 8 Operating Segments was initiated in the first quarter of 2012. A Request for Information Post-implementation Review: IFRS 8 Operating Segments was issued in July 2012, with comments closing on 16 November 2012. The IASB expects to consider comments received on the Request for Information in the first quarter of 2013.
