Published: 15 February 2013

On 6 February 2013, the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG), the French Autorité des Normes Comptables (ANC), the Accounting Standards Committee of Germany (ASCG), the Organismo Italiano di Contabilità (OIC) and the UK Financial Reporting Council (FRC) issued their strategy for work on the Conceptual Framework of the IASB.

In order to best keep those with an interest informed of the debate developments with the IASB and other stakeholders, the project partners decided to produce regular newsletters, of which this is the first.

In this edition,

'the IASB has agreed on a plan to finalise the last chapters of the Conceptual Framework by September 2015. According to that plan, a Discussion Paper should be issued in July 2013 which will cover:

Elements of financial statements (including recognition and derecognition)
Measurement
Reporting entity (the IASB may, however, decide not to address the issue until an Exposure Draft is issued)
Presentation and disclosure (including questions about the use of other comprehensive income (OCI)).

While the IASB has not made any technical decisions yet, as of 14 February 2013 it has held sessions on: the reporting entity; measurement; liability/equity; definitions of assets and liabilities; and presentation (including OCI). '
