We have published our comment letters on IFRS Interpretations Committee tentative agenda decisions related to IAS 1, IAS 19, IAS 38, and IFRS 9, as published in the December 2020 IFRIC Update.

More in­for­ma­tion about the issues is set out below:

Issue

Agenda decision supported?

More in­for­ma­tion

IAS 1 — Classification of debt with covenants as current or non-current

We believe that this issue is of such significance that it cannot be resolved by the Committee through an agenda decision. We strongly believe that the Board should reconsider the conclusion reached in the recent amendment to IAS 1 to ensure that it provides a principle that results in relevant classification of debt with covenants as current or non-current.
