25 Mar 2019

At the July 2018 meeting of the IASB's Accounting Standards Advisory Forum (ASAF), the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) presented the results of research performed by Canada, Germany, Japan, the UK and the US on hybrid pension plans, which are neither defined contribution plans nor defined benefit plans. The AcSB has now published an short overview of the research findings.

The overview provides insights into:

  • why the research was undertaken;
  • what the research is about;
  • key research findings and observations; and
  • what the standard-setters recommended to the IASB.

The IASB plans to consider the results of the research on hybrid plans when assessing priorities in its next agenda consultation.
