The IFRS Foundation Constitutionstates that 'the mix of Trustees shall broadly reflect the world’s capital markets and diversity of geographical and professional backgrounds to ensure a broad set of skills, experience and perspectives’. Six of the Trustees must be selected from the Asia/Oceania region, six from Europe, six from the Americas, one from Africa and three can be from any area, subject to maintaining overall geographical balance.
