11 Aug, 2023
The UK Endorsement Board (UKEB) has published its final comment letter and feedback statement in response to the International Sustainability Standards Board’s (ISSB's) Request for Information (RfI) on its agenda priorities.
In its final comment letter, the UKEB:
- is very supportive of the ISSB’s objective to develop standards – in the public interest – that will result in a high quality, comprehensive baseline of sustainability disclosures focused on the needs of investors and the financial markets.
- believes that the next two-year period will be crucial to establishing the credibility and success of the ISSB global baseline.
- recommends that the ISSB focuses on consolidation. This requires ensuring smooth adoption and implementation of IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 and working with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to deliver standards and guidance that produce connected information.
The final comment letter and the feedback statement are available on the UKEB website.
