International Accounting Standards Board: Developments in IFRS

International Accounting Standards Board Chair Hans Hoogervorst and Vice-Chair Sue Lloyd discuss highlights from two sessions held in March 2021: the supplementary Board meeting on IFRS 16 Leases and covid-19-related rent concessions as well as the regular monthly Board meeting. They talk about supporting stakeholders’ engagement with the Board’s consultations by having longer comment periods than usual; stakeholder feedback on the Goodwill and Impairment project; decisions taken in the Primary Financial Statements project; and developments in the Equity Method research project.
