The IFRS Foundation has launched its 2021 consultation on the shape of its future work programme, with one of the discussion points being a full-scale review of the International Accounting Standards Board’s pensions rule-book, International Accounting Standard 19, Employee Benefits (IAS 19).
Hans Hoogervorst, chairman of the International Accounting Standards Board said: “The Agenda Consultation provides an important opportunity to help shape the Board’s priorities and the future of financial reporting.”
He added that the board’s work programme over the next five years will focus in part on finalising its existing work agenda and carrying out post-implementation reviews of its financial instruments, revenue and leases accounting standards.
