This project has been deferred in April 2009. See below for more information.

This project is part of a wider convergence project with the FASB. Its purpose is to reduce differences between IFRSs and US GAAP that can be resolved in a relatively short time and that can be addressed outside major projects.

The project objective is to simplify and converge the calculation of EPS according to IAS 33 Earnings per Share and SFAS No. 128 Earnings per Share.

Project news

The project is currently paused. If and when it will be resumed will depend on the oucome of the IASB's agenda consultation.

The Board reviewed a summary of responses to the exposure draft at its April 2009 meeting. In the light of other priorities, the Board directed the staff to consider at a later date when would be the best time for the Board to start reviewing the responses in more detail. The date is yet to be confirmed.
