The first two discussions also featured feedback from the World standard-setters meeting held earlier that week. The topics covered during the meeting were the following (numbers in brackets are references to the corresponding paragraphs of the summary):

• 2015 Agenda consultation (1-22). ASAF members discussed (a) the factors used to allocate resources between standards-level projects, research and maintenance and implementation, (b) the prioritisation of the research programme, (c) the level and mix of implementation support provided, (d) the pace of change and the level of detail given in IFRS, and (e) a proposal to extend the interval between agenda consultations to five years.
• Conceptual Framework (23-54). ASAF members discussed (a) possible implications for IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets of the proposals in the Conceptual Framework exposure draft, (b) the proposals on measurement in the ED, and (c) possible implications of the ED for the rate-regulated activities project.
• Clarifications to IFRS 15 (55-58). The IASB staff provided an overview of the exposure draft of clarifications to IFRS 15 and asked the ASAF members (a) to comment on the high hurdle applied by the IASB when considering whether and how to amend IFRS 15 and (b) to provide their preliminary views on the questions in the ‘Invitation to comment’ section of the ED.
• Measuring quoted investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates at fair value -unit of account (59-82). ASAF members were asked to provide their views on the relevance of the proposed measurement model included in the exposure draft Measuring Quoted Investments in Subsidiaries, Joint Ventures and Associates at Fair Value published in September 2014.
• Pollutant pricing mechanisms (83-96). ASAF members considered a possible model to account for a cap-and-trade type of emissions trading scheme that reflected the feedback received from ASAF members at the July 2015 meeting.
• Equity method of accounting (97-104). The FASB briefly outlined its simplification project on the equity method of accounting, which includes eliminating the requirement for an entity to measure at fair value its share of the investee’s identifiable assets and liabilities. The IASB staff then sought the views of the ASAF’s members on the IASB staff’s preliminary proposals to amend the equity method of accounting.
• IASB project update including insurance contracts (105-113). The IASB staff provided an overview of the recent IASB’s tentative discussions on the insurance contracts project, which focussed on (a) requirements for insurance contracts with participation features and (b) the different effective dates of IFRS 9 and the new insurance contract. The staff then presented an overview of the IASB’s current projects, a summary of the actions taken on the advice provided by the ASAF in previous meetings and the suggested agenda topics for the December 2015 and April 2016 ASAF meetings .
