Liabilities and Equity

This summary of Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) projects has been prepared for information purposes only. Decisions reported are tentative and reflect only the current status of discussions on this project, which may change after further deliberations by the AcSB. Decisions to publish Handbook material are final only after a formal ballot process.

 

Status: Project discontinued.

The AcSB is monitoring Phase 2 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB’s) Liabilities and Equity Project. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) expects to issue a document for comment on this topic shortly after the FASB. However, the project is not expected to be complete until after the changeover to International Financial Reporting Standards for publicly accountable enterprises. The AcSB will continue to monitor this project as part of its publicly accountable enterprises strategy, but no longer expects to develop equivalent requirements under Canadian GAAP.
