Joint event on 23 October 2020 organised by the FSR – Danish Auditors, the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI), the IASB and EFRA​G on the Discussion Paper Business Combinations - Disclosures, Goodwill and Impairment. The objective of this public webinar outreach meeting is to discuss the IASB proposals for new​ disclo​sures on business combinations and subsequent accounting for goodwill with Danish and other stakeholders.​ The event will start at 13:30 and end around 16:00. For more information and registration, please see the invitation or click here​.​


The Confederation of Danish Industry (DI), FSR – Danish Auditors, EFRAG and the IASB, will organise a debate on the IASB's preliminary proposals for new disclosure requirements on business combinations and subsequent accounting for goodwill. We seek input from Danish and other stakeholders on the proposed disclosure requirements to make the performance of an acquisition more transparent and on the proposal to keep the current approach rather than reintroducing the amortisation.

The list of topics selected from the DP to be discussed is available in the invitation. The high-level speakers participating in the joint webinar are:

  • Chiara Del Prete, EFRAG TEG Chairwoman
  • Paolo Dragone, IASB Technical Staff
  • Torben Johansen, Chairman DASC
  • Kristian Koktvedgaard, Head of VAT, Accounting and Audit, DI - Confederation of Danish Industry
  • Jan Peter Larsen, International Liasons DASC
  • Rasmus Sommer, EFRAG Technical Staff
  • Tom Scott, IASB Board Member

The event will take place at the Confederation of Danish Industry and by video.
