Current stage

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) is discussing feedback on the Discussion Paper Business Combinations—Disclosures, Goodwill and Impairment. In September 2021 the IASB decided to prioritise performing further work to:

  1. make tentative decisions on the package of disclosures about business combinations; and
  2. analyse specific aspects of the feedback on the subsequent accounting for goodwill.

The IASB will consider the project’s direction at a future meeting.

IASB® Update April 2022

The IASB met on 26 April 2022 to discuss its Goodwill and Impairment project. In September 2021 the IASB decided to prioritise:

  • making tentative decisions on the package of potential disclosure requirements about business combinations described in its Discussion Paper Business Combinations—Disclosures, Goodwill and Impairment; and
  • analysing specific aspects of the feedback on the subsequent accounting for goodwill.

In this meeting the IASB discussed:

  1. feedback from additional outreach activities on the IASB’s preliminary views, as described in the Discussion Paper, concerning potential improvements to the current disclosure requirements about business combinations; and
  2. how to advance or develop those preliminary views.

The IASB was not asked to make any decisions.
