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.
