  • improve the efficiency, effectiveness and transparency of IASB technical consultations through regular public meetings. 

The Consultative Group comprises 17 members from a variety of jurisdictions and backgrounds. Membership consists of preparers from both financial and non-financial institutions and users of financial statements.
