The IASB tentatively decides to defer work on the Equity Method research project

At its meeting in May 2016 the Board decided to:

• defer work on the Equity Method research project until the Post-implementation Reviews (PIR) of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities are undertaken;
• seek feedback on investors' information needs regarding investments accounted for using the equity method as part of the PIR of IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12; and
• reconsider the scope of the project after considering the feedback on the PIR of IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12
