conceptual framework for financial reporting
The International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB or the Board) issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (the revised Conceptual Framework) on 29 March 2018. The revised version includes comprehensive changes to the previous Conceptual Framework, issued in 1989 and partly revised in 2010.
The previous Conceptual Framework (the 2010 Conceptual Framework) was criticised for its lack of clarity, the exclusion of certain important concepts and for being outdated in terms of the IASB’s current thinking. Following the IASB’s agenda consultation in 2011, the Conceptual Framework project was added to the IASB’s work plan in September 2012. Since then, the IASB has issued a discussion paper in July 2013 and an exposure draft in June 2015.
In revising the Conceptual Framework, the Board was looking to underpin high level concepts with sufficient detail for it to set standards and to help others to better understand and interpret the standards.
