IASB Publishes Its Priorities for the Next Five Years

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) released its Third Agenda Consultation Snapshot and Feedback Statement, outlining its priorities from 2022 to 2026. The Feedback Statement summarized feedback received from a 2021 public consultation, contributing, in large part, to shaping its priorities and work plan. The IASBs key strategic priorities include:

  • Maintaining the strategic direction and balance of the IASB’s activities. These will remain largely the same, but in response to stakeholder feedback, they will increase “efforts in developing digital financial reporting and on improving the understandability and accessibility of IFRS Accounting Standards”.
  • Completing current projects. This will include deliberations on current projects such as Primary Financial Statements, Goodwill and Impairment, as well others that will likely continue for the rest of 2022 and into 2023.
  • Adding intangibles and cash flows to work plan. This will involve a comprehensive review of accounting requirements for intangible assets and review of the accounting requirements for the statement of cash flows and related matters.The IASB also identified areas where they can work in tandem with the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) to create a “connected financial reporting package”.
Included in the IASB’s workplan for 2022-2026 for credit unions, is its work on the IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standard. After analyzing feedback, the IFRS decided to maintain its current levels of focus on this activity. With the help of the SME Implementation Group (SMEIG), the IASB will set requirements under the Second Comprehensive Review of the IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standard and develop educational materials for preparers within SMEs (small-to-medium enterprises) to help them apply the accounting standard. This will hopefully aid credit unions in calculating their expected loss calculations and provide for a lighter touch in the implementation of IFRS 9 (CECL in the United States).
