A key part of the IPSASB’s strategy to develop high-quality public sector financial reporting standards is to maintain existing IPSASs. IPSAS 25 is based on IAS 19 Employee Benefits, which has subsequently been revised. The main changes that the IPSASB has proposed to IPSAS 25, so that convergence with IAS 19 is maintained to the extent appropriate, are:
“The proposals in this Exposure Draftaim to ensure that financial statements provide faithfully representative and relevant information about employee benefits, particularly defined benefit plans, while maintaining convergence with IFRS,” said IPSASB Chair Ian Carruthers. “These proposals address changes made to the underlying private sector standard since IPSAS 25 was originally issued. We look forward to hearing whether constituents support the changes to IPSAS 25 proposed in this Exposure Draft or have alternative views.”
Comments on the ED are requested by April 30.
