IFRS 2 — Clarifications of classification and measurement of share based payment transactions

Background

This project involves a number of narrow scope amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment to clarify the classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions.

The project is to consider four issues identified by the IFRS Interpretations Committee:

  • Accounting for cash-settled share-based payment transactions that include a performance condition
  • Share-based payments in which the manner of settlement is contingent on future events
  • Share-based payments settled net of tax withholdings
  • Modification of share-based payment transactions from cash-settled to equity-settled.

 

Current status of the project

This project has been completed. Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment were issued on 20 June 2016.
