IFRS Foundation Update Session 15 May IASB and ISSB
Wednesday 15 May 09:00-12:30, Atlas 1 (mezzanine) at Radisson Blu Hotel
Presenters: Ann Tarca IASB Member, Ana Simpson IASB Technical Staff and Caroline Bridges, ISSB Technical Staff
This workshop will give participants an opportunity to hear about recent developments in projects on the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)’s and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)’s standard setting and research agendas. The workshop will consist of four sections. We will start with an update on the IASB’s current work programme. We will then discuss IASB projects that are also relevant to the work of the ISSB followed by an update of the current work of the ISSB. In the final section, we will discuss research opportunities in relation to the IASB’s standard setting and research agendas, including open calls for research and research relevant to the IASB’s pipeline projects. We will also discuss ISSB engagement with academia. The session will be interactive and should be useful for people engaged in teaching IFRS Accounting and Sustainability Disclosure Standards and those conducting research about the impact of these Standards.
