Background

In 2006, the AcSB decided, consistent with its strategy of adopting International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) for publicly accountable enterprises, to issue a standard on earnings per share (EPS) that is fully converged with IAS 33, Earnings per Share, including proposed amendments then under development by the IASB.

However, the IASB does not expect to discuss this project in the short term.

Activities to Date

In August 2008, the IASB and the FASB each issued Exposure Drafts asking for public comments by December 5, 2008. The AcSB issued an Exposure Draft in October 2008 with a comment period also ending on the above date.

The IASB will resume discussions at a later date.
