Investors: the IASB needs your input on accounting
Click below to receive free email alerts on the IASB’s investor outreach activities (requires eIFRS registration). Please tick the 'Investor alerts' box.
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) are aimed at ensuring that financial statements provide information that existing and potential investors and others capital providers need to make capital allocation decisions. Although as an investor your priority might not be the standard-setting process, it is important that the IASB gets your input, because the results of our projects will ultimately influence the information that you get from financial statements. So that we can better meet your needs, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to provide input on our work.
