The International Standards Committee (IASC) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) announced on October 3, 2006, that it launched its new website, which can be accessed at www.iasb.org. The website has been designed in order to help stakeholders follow the development of those items that are on the IASB’s work program and make it easier for users of financial reporting standards.
The IASB is also developing its webcasting service. Interested parties can now watch the meeting live or listen after the event to any particular project discussion. Other developments included:
• A new home page identifying important developments, forthcoming meetings and access to products and services
• Online observer registration for meetings
• Online submission of comment letters
• A dedicated news section with a press release archive and news search
• An ‘open to comment’ section alerting interested parties to recently published discussion papers, exposure drafts and International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) drafts
• Comprehensive project pages that include audio playbacks, narrative summaries and observer notes plus discussion papers, exposure drafts and comment letters
(IASB) is committed to developing in the public interest a single set of high quality global accounting standards.
