August 2019 IASB meeting notes posted
28 Aug, 2019
The IASB, which normally does not meet in August, held an additional meeting on 28 August 2019 to discuss feedback received on ED/2019/1 'Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Proposed amendments to IFRS 9 and IAS 39)'. We have posted our comprehensive Deloitte observer notes for this discussion.
The Board decided that the amendments will: include an exception to the requirement in IAS 39 for retrospective assessment when a hedge is temporarily outside the 80–125% range solely due to uncertainties arising from the reform; provide relief from the separately identifiable requirement for ‘macro hedges’; clarify when the relief ceases to apply to a group of items designated as the hedged item; clarify that the amendments would apply to hedges of both interest rate and foreign currency risks; and simplify the disclosure requirements.
The staff will prepare the final amendments for publication.
