Following the IASB's April 2022 meeting, we have analysed the work plan on the IFRS Foundation website to see what changes have resulted from the meeting and other developments since the work plan was last revised in March 2022. The work plan now also lists the projects of the ISSB.

Below is an analysis of all changes made to the work plan since our last analysis on 28 March 2022.

  • Climate-related disclosures An ISSB project newly added to the workplan; feedback on the exposure draft will be discussed in H2 2022
