Roundtables on investment company proposals to be held early in 2012
20 Dec 2011
During February and March 2012, the IASB and FASB are holding a number of public roundtables on their proposals to exempt investment entities from consolidation.
The IASB published Exposure Draft ED/2011/4 Investment Entities on 25 August 2011, proposing to define 'investment entities' as a separate type of entity that would be exempt from the consolidation accounting requirements in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. Comments on the Exposure Draft close on 5 January 2012.
Details of the roundtables, including the registration deadline, are set out in the table below:
Country | Location | Date | Deadline |
---|---|---|---|
Canada | Toronto | 17 February 2012 | 27 January 2012 |
United Kingdom | London | 29 February 2012 | 8 February 2012 |
United States | Norwalk | 20 March 2012* | 28 February 2012* |
Malaysia | Kuala Lumpur | 27 March 2012 | 6 March 2012 |
* The date of the Norwalk roundtable was changed to 16 March 2012 in mid January 2012. The registration deadline was also brought forward to 24 February 2012.
