Post Implementation Review IFRS 8 ‘Operating Segments’ event
News types: Codes and Standards Announcements
Published: 11 September 2012
The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) is inviting preparers and users to a discussion with IASB staff to help gather evidence on the implementation of IFRS 8 ‘Operating Segments’.
The aim of the meeting is to assist FRC in formulating a response to the IASB’s post implementation review that reflects the views of the UK. IFRS 8 is the first international accounting standard to be subject to a post-implementation review (PIR). As part of the post implementation review the IASB issued a Request for Information in July. The aim of the review is to assess the effect of the new requirements on investors, preparers and auditors.
The meeting will also include a short presentation by Dr Louise Crawford on the work and results of ICAS's recent independent research report "Operating Segments: The usefulness of IFRS 8". This study investigates the issues surrounding the implementation of IFRS 8 and considers two research questions: it examines whether the segmental disclosures by UK companies changed after their adoption of IFRS 8 and canvasses the views of users, preparers and auditors of accounts as to whether or not IFRS 8 produces more decision-useful information than was the case with its predecessor.
You are invited to participate in the following meeting to be held at the FRC offices:
