IFRS® Accounting Standards

Post-implementation Review of IFRS 15

Summary

The Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) is participating in the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB) post-implementation review of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to provide input on this standard’s effectiveness.

In undertaking the review, the IASB:

  • considers important or contentious issues in the development of the IFRS Accounting Standard;
  • considers issues that have come to the IASB’s attention since publication; and
  • identifies areas in which unexpected costs or implementation problems were encountered.

The AcSB is participating in the consultations and activities on this project to ensure that Canadian entities’ financial reporting needs are considered by the IASB. The review of IFRS 15 may lead to the IASB making minor amendments to the standard, preparing an agenda proposal for a broader revision of the standard, or perhaps no changes at all.
