03/02/2015 - EFRAG's Final Endorsement Advice on the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle

EFRAG has completed its due process regarding the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle and has submitted its Endorsement Advice Letter to the European Commission.


In September 2014, the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle (the Amendments), a collection of amendments to IFRSs, in response to five issues addressed during the 2012-2014 cycle.

The Amendments reflect issues discussed by the IASB during the project cycle that began in 2012, and that were published in December 2013 in the Exposure Draft ED/2013/11 Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle. The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 although entities are permitted to apply them earlier.

EFRAG has issued its letter to the European Commission containing its Endorsement Advice relating to the Amendments for use in the European Union and European Economic Area.

EFRAG supports the adoption of the Amendments and recommends their endorsement. EFRAG's recommendation is explained in the letter to the European Commission and the accompanying Basis for Conclusions and Evaluation of the Costs and Benefits of the Amendments.

The Letter to the European Commission can be found below.
