New designs, numbering for IASB pronouncements
14 Feb 2009
The IASB has changed the layout of the cover of its due process documents and has introduced reference numbers to help constituents keep track of consultative documents.
- Reference numbers. These numbers will indicate the type of document, the year of publication, and a serial number. For example, ED/2009/02 indicates that the document is the second exposure draft to be published by the IASB in 2009.
- Covers. The covers of documents are colour coded as follows: blue for discussion papers, beige for exposure drafts (illustrated to the left), and red for standards. All accompanying booklets such as the basis for conclusions and implementation guidance will be grey. Education publications will have either a green cover or a green bar at the top right corner of the front cover.
