Timing of the next review of the IFRS for SMEs Standard (Agenda Paper 7)

The International Accounting Standards Board (Board) met on 18 October 2016 to discuss whether to start an interim review of the IFRS for SMEs Standard in 2016. The interim review would consider any changes in new and amended full IFRS Standards or any urgent issues.

The Board considered feedback from the SME Implementation Group and, consistent with this feedback, decided not to perform an interim review of the IFRS for SMEs Standard in advance of the next comprehensive review. No Board members objected to this decision. The next comprehensive review of the IFRS for SMEs Standard is expected to start in early 2019.
