IASB to present webcasts on IAS 39
The IASB has scheduled for 23 September two identical webcasts on the project to replace IAS 39. The webcasts will be held at 11am and 5pm London time and will cover the following:
- an overview of the feedback received on the Exposure Draft Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement, the Request for Information - impairment of financial assets and the Discussion Paper Credit Risk in Liability Measurement ; and
- the next steps in the project to replace IAS 39 taking into account the discussions at the September board meeting
Both presentations will be followed by a question-and-answer session where registered participants can submit questions via the online facilities.
There is no charge to attend the web presentation, but you need to register to participate.
Ten days ago we reported that the European Insurance and Reinsurance Federation (CEA) had voiced its concern that the IASB proposals on IAS 39 don't reflect the business model of insurers (IERM, News/comment, 11 September, "CEA voices concern over IAS 39").
