Deloitte has submitted a comment letter on the IFRS Foundation Trustees' Invitation to Comment, The Annual Improvements Process: Proposals to amend the Due Process Handbook for the IASB.

We support the efforts to enhance the process for making improvements to IFRSs, including amendments to IFRSs to clarify guidance and wording or to correct unintended consequences, conflicts or oversights. We think that the criteria proposed in the Consultation Document are appropriate when identifying discrete issues in IFRSs that need to be resolved. However, we recommend that the remit of the IFRS Interpretations Committee be broadened so it can prepare draft amendments to IFRSs (including Implementation Guidance) to help ensure that urgent or emerging accounting issues are identified and addressed in a timely and efficient manner.
