The Conceptual Framework sets out the concepts that underlie the preparation and presentation of financial statements. It identifies principles for the IASB to use when it develops and revises its IFRSs.
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published for public comment a Discussion Paper exploring possible changes to the IASB’s Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. This Discussion Paper is designed to obtain initial views and comments on important issues that the IASB will consider as it develops an Exposure Draft of a revised Conceptual Framework. The issues include:
- definitions of assets and liabilities;
- recognition and derecognition;
- the distinction between equity and liabilities;
- measurement;
- presentation and disclosure; and
- other comprehensive income (OCI).
