Agenda for the upcoming IRCC meeting

19 Apr, 2023

The IFRS Foundation's new advisory group, the Integrated Reporting and Connectivity Council (IRCC), will hold its second meeting on 25 April 2023.

The IRCC will receive an update on the (joint) work of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).

In addition, the IRCC will review a comparison between Management Commentary and Integrated Reporting. Key observations from the initial analysis are:

  • Management commentary and integrated reports have similar objectives, providing investors with insights for assessing an entity’s prospects. Sometimes integrated reports are adapted to meet information needs of other audiences.
  • The management commentary exposure draft and the IR Framework incorporate similar principles and notions of value creation. An entity’s ‘resources and relationships’ or ‘capitals’ play a prominent role in both documents.
  • The requirements specified in the management commentary exposure draft and the IR Framework should result in similar information being provided in the reports. However, the way in which the requirements are specified can be different.

April 2023 IASB supplementary meeting notes posted

18 Apr, 2023

The IASB held a supplementary meeting in London on 11 April 2023. We have posted our comprehensive Deloitte observer notes for the project discussed during the meeting.

The following topic was discussed:

  • International Tax Reform—Pillar Two Model Rules: In January 2023, the IASB published the Exposure Draft (ED) International Tax Reform—Pillar Two Model Rules, which proposed amendments to IAS 12. The comment period ended on 10 March 2023. The purpose of this meeting was for the IASB to consider the feedback on the ED and decide on how to proceed with the proposals. The IASB decided to finalise an amended version of the proposals. The amendments will be effective immediately and will need to be applied retrospectively. However, the amendments do not apply to any interim financial periods ending in 2023. The staff expect that the amendments will be published in May 2023.

April 2023 ISSB supplementary meeting notes posted

06 Apr, 2023

The ISSB held a supplementary meeting on 4 April 2023. We have posted our comprehensive Deloitte observer notes for the discussion on general sustainability-related disclosures.

General Sustainability-related Disclosures: The ISSB decided to grant an optional relief that allows companies applying the ISSB Standards to phase in their approach to sustainability-related disclosure, beginning with climate-related risks and opportunities in the first year of reporting. For companies using the proposed relief, the full reporting on sustainability-related risks and opportunities (beyond just climate) would be provided from the second year. The ISSB also tentatively decided that if an entity uses this transition relief, it would be required to disclose that fact, and could extend the previously agreed transition relief in IFRS S1 related to disclosing comparative information such that the entity would not be required to disclose comparative information related to its other sustainability-related financial information in the first year it discloses that information.
