Help shape the future of the IFRS Foundation's main website by taking this short survey

During 2022 the IFRS Foundation transformed from an organisation with a single standard-setting board to an organisation with two boards―the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the new International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). We also announced the consolidation with the Value Reporting Foundation (VRF) and the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB).

Since then, we have been publishing sustainability disclosure information alongside our accounting information on ifrs.org, and we want to ensure that we are meeting the information needs of as many of our website users as possible.

ISSB to consult on agenda priorities and amendments to SASB Standards

In May 2023, the ISSB plans to publish a request for information about its agenda priorities for the next two years.
