The Trustees of the IFRS Foundation, who are responsible for the oversight and governance of the International Accounting Standards Board (Board), have appointed Renata Bandeira, Sophie Massol, Jon Nelson and Donné Sephton to the IFRS Interpretations Committee.
The IFRS Interpretations Committee (Committee) works with the Board in supporting the consistent application of IFRS Standards. In particular, the Committee responds to application questions from stakeholders by publishing agenda decisions to explain how IFRS Standards apply to particular fact patterns. If required to do so, the Committee also develops interpretations (called IFRIC Interpretations) or proposes that the Board amends the Standards.
