Items discussed by the Board include:

  • IAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement: the fair value option:
    In February the Board tentatively decided to propose an amendment to IAS 39 to limit the application of the fair value.

  • Fair value hedge accounting for a portfolio hedge of interest rate risk:
    The Board discussed three sweep issues that had arisen from comments on the pre-ballot draft.

  • Discussion paper on accounting and financial reporting by small and medium-sized entities:
    The Board discussed the first draft of a Discussion Paper setting out the Board’s preliminary and tentative views on the approach to the project developing accounting standards for SMEs. The paper is meant to be issued in April.
