The IASB has released a summary of the Capital Markets Advisory Committee (CMAC) meeting, which was held in London on 2 March 2018.

The topics discussed at the meeting included:

  • Primary financial statements:
    • Introducing management performance measures and management-defined adjusted earnings per share (adjusted EPS) into financial statements; and
    • Proposed improvements to the presentation of the share of profit or loss of associates and joint ventures in the statement(s) of financial performance.
  • Discussion Paper: Disclosure Initiative — Principles of Disclosure:
    • Preparers’ views on addressing the disclosure problem;
    • The relative prioritisation of five specific topics included in the DP; and
    • The effect of technology and digital reporting on the project.
  • Goodwill and impairment:
    • An approach to the impairment testing of goodwill that considers movements in headroom; and
    • The requirement in IFRS 3 Business Combinations to recognise all identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination separately from goodwill.
  • Rate-regulated activities:
    • Whether using the disclosure objective in IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts would be a good starting point for developing the disclosure objective for the model;
    • The usefulness of the preliminary set of disclosures; and
    • Whether entities should be required to provide all the resulting information within their financial statements, rather than in another location, such as in management commentary.

The next CMAC meeting will take place on 14–15 June 2018.
