The following topics are on the agenda:
Post-implementation review (PIR) of IFRS 9—Impairment: The IASB will deliberate on the feedback received in response to its Request for Information Post-implementation Review—IFRS 9 Financial Instruments—Impairment with regard to credit risk disclosures and other matters. The staff recommends that the IASB classify as medium priority the matters raised by stakeholders about credit risk disclosures and add a project to its research pipeline to make targeted improvements to the disclosure requirements in IFRS 7 about credit risk. The staff also recommends that the IASB classify as medium priority and add to its research pipeline the matter relating to additional illustrative examples for financial instruments with particular features (such as between related parties). Finally, the staff recommends that the IASB concludes the PIR.
Financial instruments with characteristics of equity: The staff will provide a high-level summary of the feedback and key themes emerging from comment letters that have been received in response to the Exposure Draft (ED) Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Equity and from investor outreach activities. No decisions will be requested from the IASB in this meeting.
Second comprehensive review of the IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standard: The IASB will continue the redeliberations of its proposals in the ED Third edition of the IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standard. The IASB will make decisions with regard to Section 9 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, Section 23 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, differences between the ED and IFRS 19, and transition requirements.
Proposed IFRS Taxonomy Update—Contracts for Renewable Electricity: The IASB will receive an oral update about how the recent ED Contracts for Renewable Electricity affects the IFRS Accounting Taxonomy.
Rate-regulated activities: The IASB will continue the redeliberations of its proposals in the ED Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities. In particular, the staff recommends that the final standard should clarify that the income tax consequences of a regulatory asset or regulatory liability may give rise to a separate regulatory asset or regulatory liability. The staff also recommends that the final standard retain the proposal to delete the temporary exception in IAS 8:54G.
PIR of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers: The IASB will analyse the feedback related to matters not discussed in previous meetings. The staff recommends that the IASB take no further action on application matters related to allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and other aspects of applying IFRS 15 raised by respondents.
