In March 2023, the IFRS Foundation issued an invitation for applications and nominations to replace seven SMEIG members retiring on 30 June 2023. The Trustees are considering these applications, and further appointments to the SMEIG will be announced in the coming months.
The SMEIG was established by the IFRS Foundation Trustees in 2010 as a consultative body to the International Accounting Standards Board. The SMEIG has two main responsibilities: to consider questions on implementation and application of the IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standard and to advise the IASB on updating the Standard during periodic reviews. Membership is personal. SMEIG members voice their own views, not those of any company, organisation or constituency.
