Review of Tentative Agenda Decisions published in November IFRIC Update

Date recorded:

The IFRIC redeliberated its tentative agenda decisions published in the November 2008 IFRIC Update (see also our November 2008 IFRIC meeting notes).

IFRS 3 Business Combinations – Customer-related intangible assets

The IFRIC confirmed its view that the issue would best be resolved by the Board and decided to finalise the agenda decision.

IAS 32 — Classification of puttable and perpetual instruments

The IFRIC confirmed the tentative agenda decision published in the November IFRIC Update subject to minor drafting changes.

IAS 37 and IAS 38 — Regulatory assets and liabilities

The IFRIC confirmed the tentative agenda decision published in the November IFRIC Update in the light of Board's decision to add a project on regulatory activities to its active agenda.

IAS 39 — Derecognition of financial assets

The IFRIC confirmed the tentative agenda decision published in the November IFRIC Update.

IAS 39 — Fair value measurement of financial instruments in inactive markets

The staff presented revised wording for the tentative agenda decision on the issue as a result of a letter received by, and a meeting held with, the submitter. A majority of the IFRIC members were concerned over the signal the revised wording would send – that the view in the original submission would be sustainable. It was agreed to revert back to most of the original wording, but also to reflect the revised fact pattern.
