In addition, the session will outline the post-implementation review process including the up-coming post-implementation reviews of IFRS 10/11/12 and IFRS 5.

IFRS Foundation Breakfast Update: Primary Financial Statements Thursday, 30 May – 07.30-08.45 Presenters: Anne McGeachin, IFRS Foundation Technical Staff, and Ann Tarca, IASB Member This session will provide an update on the IASB’s Primary Financial Statements project. We will provide an overview of the project decisions to date and engage in dialogue with the audience to explore their views of the proposals. The Primary Financial Statements project is developing targeted improvements to the structure and content of the primary financial statements, with a focus on the statement(s) of financial performance. The project is part of the Board’s plan to promote better communication in financial reporting and responds to demands from users for better and more comparable financial information. The Board has gathered evidence from academia and practice that suggests the usefulness of financial information could be enhanced by changes to requirements of IFRS Standards relating to the presentation of the financial statements. The project includes the development of proposals on defined subtotals in the statement(s) of financial performance, management performance measures and improved disaggregation.
