How the IFRS Interpretations Committee sets its agenda

The IFRS Interpretation Committee's normal procedure for considering potential projects for the Committee's agenda is as follows:

  • Staff considers potential projects for the Committee's agenda and makes recommendations to the Committee
  • The Committee discusses the staff recommendation and, if it agrees, it publishes the proposed explanation in the IFRIC Update newsletter. The newsletter indicates that if constituents disagree, they should provide comment to the Interpretations Committee. The public has at 60 days (previously it was 30 days) to comment.
  • At a subsequent meeting, if the Committee decides not to add the item to its agenda, it agrees on the final wording for its explanation. The Interpretations Committee's final decision, and the explanation of why the item was not added to the agenda, are published in IFRIC Update.


Authority of agenda decisions

In announcing its decision not to add an item to its agenda, the Interpretations Committee states:

The following explanation is published for information only and does not change existing IFRS requirements. Committee agenda decisions are not Interpretations. Interpretations are determined only after extensive deliberation and due process, including a formal vote. Interpretations become final only when approved by the IASB.
