Following the IASB's June 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 May 2022. Some clarifications now also relate to ISSB projects.

Below is an analysis of all changes made to the work plan since our last analysis on 30 May 2022.

Standard-setting projects

  • Climate-related disclosures — Feedback on the exposure draft will now be discussed in Q4 2022 (previously H2 2022)
  • Disclosure initiative — Subsidiaries without public accountability: Disclosures — The IASB decided to publish a final accounting standard as next project step (no date given)
  • Disclosure initiative — Targeted standards-level review of disclosures — Following the discussion received on the exposure draft, the IASB will decide on the project direction in Q3 2022
  • Dynamic risk management — After deciding on the future direction of the project, the IASB will publish an exposure draft as next project step (no date given)
  • General sustainability-related disclosures — Feedback on the exposure draft will now be discussed in Q4 2022 (previously H2 2022)

Maintenance projects

  • Contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets — This project has been moved from the standard-setting agenda to the maintenance agenda
  • Lack of exchangeability — The entry of when a decision on the project direction is to be expected has been removed
  • Non-current liabilities with covenants — After discussing the feedback received, the IASB decided to publish a final amendment as next project step in Q4 2022

  • Goodwill and impairment — A decision on the project direction is now expected in Q4 2022 (previously H2 2022)
  • Post-implementation review of IFRS 10-12 — The project has been concluded by publishing a feedback statement and has therefore been removed from the work plan
