Reminder about nominations for leases working group
12 Sep 2006
The IASB has issued a reminder that the deadline for nominations for the joint IASB-FASB working group on lease accounting is 30 September 2006. The two Boards added a joint project on leasing to their respective agendas in July 2006. The project scope includes a reconsideration of existing standards of accounting for both lessees and lessors.
The current project plan envisages, as a first step, the publication of a joint discussion paper. The boards plan to appoint a single international working group to advise both boards on the project. The working group will comprise individuals from a variety of backgrounds, including preparers, auditors, and users of financial statements, leasing experts, and others.
