EFRAG issues final endorsement advice and effects study report on the amendments to IAS 19
31 Jan, 2014
The European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) has submitted to the European Commission its endorsement advice letter and effects study report on the amendments to IAS 19 regarding employee contributions to defined benefit plans.
EFRAG supports the amendments to IAS 19, which clarify the requirements that relate to how contributions from employees or third parties that are linked to service should be attributed to periods of service and permit a practical expedient if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service. The EFRAG’s assessment is that benefits for preparers and users implementing the amendments to IAS 19 outweigh the costs and therefore EFRAG recommends that the European Commission (EC) endorses the amendments.
