Meetings
Additional information The Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) established the IFRS Discussion Group (IDG) in 2009 to implement and maintain a regular public forum at which issues arising relating to the application of IFRSs in Canada can be discussed. Purpose The purpose of the IDG is to assist the AcSB by considering issues arising relating to the application of IFRSs in Canada and making recommendations on whether particular issues should be referred to the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) or International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). Membership Membership of the IDG comprises a Chair and other members with a range of backgrounds and experience, including preparers, users and auditors of financial reports prepared in accordance with IFRS. Members are expected to have an in-depth knowledge of IFRSs and be aware of the challenges that the application of IFRSs are creating in Canadian financial reporting. Current members of the IDG are listed here. Meetings The IDG normally meets four times a year. At the discretion of the IDG Chair, meetings are generally open to public observation. For more information on future meetings see Notice of Meeting. Members of the public are encouraged to submit issues for consideration by the IDG. For further information regarding the submission of issues see Submission of Issues Meetings held: Future meetings: March 4, 2010 (Toronto)
