The proposed guidance in IPSAS ED 94 will benefit entities that are either in the process of implementing or are already applying IPSAS Standards by providing a tool to plan the integration between accounting and statistical systems to enable the usage of IPSAS Standards-based accounting data as a source for GFSM 2014 reporting.  “The guidance we are proposing will help governments leverage the independently audited accounting data that is already available in their systems for statistical compilation, enhancing the overall data quality and the efficiency of their statistical reporting process,” said IPSASB Chair Thomas Müller-Marqués Berger. “Utilizing the accounting data to support better decisions and fiscal management by governments benefits everyone.” The final pronouncement will amend IPSAS 22, Disclosure of Financial Information About the General Government Sector, which prescribes disclosure requirements for governments that elect to present information about the General Government Sector in their consolidated financial statements. The IPSASB welcomes public comments on IPSAS ED 94. Comments received will help shape the final pronouncement. How to Access Access IPSAS ED 94, Linkages Between IPSAS Standards and the Government Finance Statistics Manual 2014 (Amendments to IPSAS 22), its summary At-a-Glance document, or submit a comment. Comments on the ED are requested by June 22, 2026. The IPSASB encourages IFAC members, associates, and Network Partners to promote the availability of this ED to their members and employees.

These amendments respond to the IESBA’s recently approved revisions to its International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards), which introduced, among other provisions, explicit ethical requirements for using the work of external experts in audit, assurance, and non-assurance engagements. The IAASB’s updates reflect ongoing collaboration and coordination between the IAASB and IESBA and help to maintain interoperability between the IAASB standards and the IESBA Code. The targeted amendments affect the following IAASB standards: ISA 620, Using the Work of an Auditor’s Expert ISRE 2400 (Revised), Engagements to Review Historical Financial Statements ISAE 3000 (Revised), Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information ISRS 4400 (Revised), Agreed-upon Procedures Engagements To learn more and access the amendments and Basis for Conclusions, visit the IAASB website. dorodian Wed, 07 Jan 2026 04:46:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:1242 https://en.iacpa.ir/News/ID/1241/ifac-news#Comments 0 https://en.iacpa.ir/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=80&ModuleID=444&ArticleID=1241 https://en.iacpa.ir:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=1241&PortalID=0&TabID=80 https://en.iacpa.ir/News/ID/1241/ifac-news ONLINE EVENT Public Trust in Tax 2025: Insights and Opportunities from Asia and Beyond REGISTER HERE Join IFAC, the OECD, ACCA and CA ANZ for the global launch of Public Trust in Tax 2025: Asia and Beyond, a new edition of the Public Trust in Tax series exploring how people across Asia—and selected comparator regions—view the fiscal contract, perceive fairness, and place trust in tax systems. ?? Date: 11 February 2026 ? Time: 8:00–9:30 GMT | 9:00–10:30 CET | 16:00–17:30 SGT | 19:00–20:30 AEDT ?? Format: Virtual (Zoom webinar) ?? Language: English (with simultaneous interpretation via Wordly ) ?? Register now   About the event Public trust is central to effective, resilient tax systems.

The final IPSASB meeting of the year was held from December 2 to 5, 2025, in New York City, USA. This was the final meeting for Ian Carruthers as IPSASB Chair, as his decade as Chair comes to an end. The Board looks forward to welcoming the incoming Chair, Thomas Müller-Marqués Berger, on January 1, 2026.   The Latest from Our Projects Climate-Related Disclosures The IPSASB reached a significant milestone with the approval of IPSASB SRS 1, Climate-related Disclosures. This achievement supports the expanding information needs of users of general-purpose financial reports and marks a major step forward in public sector reporting, establishing disclosure requirements for climate-related risks and opportunities for public sector entities. The IPSASB set an effective date of January 1, 2028 for IPSASB SRS 1, with earlier adoption permitted.   Natural Resources The IPSASB approved IPSAS 51, Tangible Natural Resources Held for Conservation. IPSAS 51 fills an important public sector reporting gap in the IPSASB’s literature. The IPSASB set an effective date of January 1, 2028 for IPSAS 51, with earlier adoption permitted.   Strengthening Linkages Between IPSAS Standards and the GFSM The IPSASB approved Exposure Draft (ED) 94, Linkages Between IPSAS Standards and the Government Finance Statistics Manual 2014 (Amendments to IPSAS 22). This ED proposes guidance to help maximize the benefits of using IPSAS Standards-based accounting data for statistical compilation, to support better decision-making. The ED is expected to be published in Q1 2026 with a 4-month comment period.   Presentation of Financial Statements The IPSASB has completed its conceptual and technical discussions on requirements for the presentation of financial statements and confirmed that its draft Consultation Paper (CP) fully captures its views, subject to revisions to capture December discussions. Next quarter, the IPSASB will review the final piece of the developing illustrative ED related to disclosure requirements with a plan to approve the CP at the March 2026 meeting.   Making Materiality Judgments The IPSASB discussed the approach and the necessary public sector adaptations to develop non-authoritative guidance to assist public sector entities in applying materiality when preparing IPSAS financial statements. The IPSASB will review an updated draft ED at its March 2026 meeting to determine whether additional public sector adaptations are necessary.   Improvements The IPSASB agreed to the proposed amendments regarding the lack of exchangeability to IPSAS 4, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, and IPSAS 33, First-time Adoption of Accrual Basis International Public Sector Accounting Standards. In addition, the IPSASB agreed to the narrow scope amendments regarding the definition of an operation and the recognition of assumed contingent liabilities to IPSAS 40, Public Sector Combinations. These amendments will be included in the next Improvements to IPSAS Standards ED expected to be approved in March 2026.   Outgoing, New, and Returning Members High-quality standards that enhance public financial management and promote sustainable development globally need diverse voices to develop them. The Board continues to reflect broad geographic representation, gender parity, and professional expertise in public sector financial and sustainability reporting. Congratulations to new and returning members for 2026 and Claudia Beier, reappointed as Deputy Chair. The IPSASB thanks outgoing members Kamira Sánchez Nicosia, and Scott Showalter, Patrícia Siqueira Varela, and Jonah Wala for their service.    Meeting Videos Recordings of the meetings are available on our YouTube channel.    Next Meeting The next IPSASB meeting will be in Toronto, Canada from March 10-13, 2026.   2025 Handbook The 2025 Edition of the Handbook of International Public Sector Accounting Pronouncements is out now.

Hosted in partnership with the Institute of Indonesia Chartered Accountants (IAI), the event takes place alongside IAI’s 68th Anniversary celebration at the Fairmont Hotel Jakarta. IFAC Connect convenes senior representatives from professional accountancy organizations, global and regional standard setters, regulators, major firms, and investor communities to confront the forces reshaping trust, sustainability, and governance in a period of rapid global disruption. The agenda includes a keynote address from Ibu Sophia Wattomena, Chair of the Audit Board and Member of the Board of the Commissioner, Indonesia Financial Services Authority (OJK), followed by a discussion between IFAC Chief Executive Officer Lee White and leaders from IFAC Network Partners CAPA and AFA on shared regional priorities and emerging opportunities for collaboration. Sessions throughout the day will explore early lessons from the global rollout of enhanced corporate reporting, the modernization of qualification pathways, the future of talent pipelines, the expanding leadership of women in the profession, and the profession’s emerging role in AI assurance and ethical oversight. A conversation on trust and tax will draw on insights from IFAC, OECD, CAANZ, and ACCA, reflecting growing expectations for transparency in global tax systems. IFAC Chief Executive Officer Lee White said: “The global accountancy profession should continue leading, proactively and decisively, helping shape resilient financial systems by bringing trust to reported information and preparing talent for a world defined by a rapid pace of digital and geopolitical disruption. IFAC Connect AsiaPac brings together the Asia-Pacific region, which is swiftly grappling with the global economic transformation, to confront these challenges with clarity, collaboration, and shared purpose.” IAI President Ardan Adiperdana said: “This gathering reflects Indonesia’s growing influence and the profession’s commitment to strengthening transparency, accountability, and sustainable growth across the region. As we mark IAI’s 68th Anniversary, we are honored to welcome global leaders whose collaboration will help chart the profession’s path forward.” IFAC Connect AsiaPac 2025 discussions will culminate in closing reflections from regional leaders on how collective action can strengthen the profession’s relevance and resilience in the years ahead. Following Nairobi, Riyadh, and Mexico City, this is the final IFAC Connect event of the year that will build the foundation of a 2026 agenda with bold leadership. dorodian Sat, 06 Dec 2025 09:54:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:237 https://en.iacpa.ir/News/ID/236/ifac-news#Comments 0 https://en.iacpa.ir/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=80&ModuleID=444&ArticleID=236 https://en.iacpa.ir:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=236&PortalID=0&TabID=80 https://en.iacpa.ir/News/ID/236/ifac-news Asia Leads Global Confidence in Tax Fairness but Trust Gaps Persist Elsewhere in the World   Public trust in tax remains strongest in Asia – particularly South-East Asia – and the? Anglophone Pacific (Australia, Canada, New Zealand), driven by digital access and transparency. In contrast, Europe and Latin America show less confidence in the fiscal contract between citizens and the state, according to the new survey findings.  Public Trust in Tax 2025: Asia and Beyond, produced by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), Chartered Accountants Australian and New Zealand (CA ANZ) and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), surveyed more than 12,000 individuals across 29 countries, primarily in Asia but also in Latin America, Western Europe and the Pacific.? The report explores perceptions and personal experiences of taxation, as well as attitudes towards tax competition and co-operation to provide insights into public confidence in tax systems.  Discussed during a panel session at the IFAC Connect ASIAPAC 2025 event in Jakarta on December 4, the survey results reveal that taxpayers across Asia largely view their tax systems as equitable and are significantly more confident that their taxes deliver fair public value compared to survey respondents across other regions.  Across all 29 countries surveyed, respondents were more likely to view tax as a contribution to their community rather than a cost, indicating strong support for the fiscal contract in theory. This sentiment was strongest in South-East Asia, where nearly two-thirds (64.7%) agreed.  Looking at the fiscal contract in practice in almost two thirds of the countries in Asia, respondents were more like to agree that tax revenues are spent for the public good, compared to only a third of the countries beyond Asia, underscoring that trust still needs to be earned through transparency and effective service delivery.  This finding is consistent with the results regarding public perceptions of the tax system. In three quarters of the countries in Asia respondents were more likely to agree that their tax system is equitable, compared to less than a quarter of the countries beyond Asia.   Across all countries, respondents reported that the most effective aspect of tax administration was digital tax services, while satisfaction with tax authority communication was much lower in Latin America and Western Europe than in Asia. Clear communication appears to matter as respondents who found tax authority messages easy to understand were four times more likely to trust the authority.  Across all regions, accountants remain the most trusted source of information on tax, while politicians and social media continue to rank the lowest. This credibility gap reinforces the vital role of professional accountants in shaping public understanding of fairness, ethics, and accountability in taxation.  Support for international co-operation on tax policy is strong globally, with respondents favouring collaboration over competition to create more coherent global tax systems. In Asia, there is also robust support for using fiscal policy to drive sustainable development, especially for infrastructure and green energy projects.  Helen Brand OBE, Chief Executive of ACCA, said: “Asia’s strong public trust in taxation offers valuable lessons for the world. People here see tax as a contribution to the community, not just a cost, but that trust can’t be taken for granted. Transparency, fairness, and visible returns for taxpayers are what sustain confidence in the fiscal contract over the long run.”  Lee White, Chief Executive Officer of IFAC, added: “Trust is the foundation of every tax system. This report reminds us that confidence in the fiscal contract is strong, but it must be continually earned. As the most trusted voices in tax, professional accountants play a vital role in upholding that trust—through integrity, sound judgement, and a commitment to the public interest.”  Ainslie van Onselen, Chief Executive Officer of CA ANZ, said: “Public trust in tax is the bedrock of a fair, functioning economy. These results show that when people see transparent, tangible benefits – whether it’s funding for essential services or driving sustainable growth – they’re more willing to engage. The accountancy profession has a critical role to play as insightful and trusted advisers, supporting collaboration with policymakers and tax authorities to achieve outcomes in the public interest.”  Manal Corwin, Director of the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration, commented: “This is the first phase of a new project for the OECD looking at tax morale in Asia. We will discuss these results with governments in the region over the next year to identify the drivers of trust in tax across Asia, and best practices to build trust. This will help governments design fairer, more responsive and more coherent tax systems.”   Public Trust in Tax 2025: Asia and Beyond?is jointly produced by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ), and the OECD.   Join the launch event  Join ACCA, IFAC, CA ANZ, and the OECD on 11 February 2026 for the launch webinar of Public Trust in Tax 2025:Asia and Beyond, where the findings will be presented and discussed with policymakers, tax authorities, international organisations, and the accountancy profession.  [Register here]  dorodian Sat, 06 Dec 2025 09:53:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:236 https://en.iacpa.ir/News/ID/235/nasdaq-news#Comments 0 https://en.iacpa.ir/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=80&ModuleID=444&ArticleID=235 https://en.iacpa.ir:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=235&PortalID=0&TabID=80 https://en.iacpa.ir/News/ID/235/nasdaq-news As expectations around sustainability disclosures continue to rise, the way your organization manages its data is under the spotlight.

The IAASB developed this new set of examples through a joint initiative with a group of jurisdictional auditing and assurance standard setters, whose collaboration and support have been crucial in shaping this guidance. While ISSA 5000 includes four illustrative reports that reflect the baseline requirements of the standard, this new publication provides more specific examples to help practitioners apply the standard in real-world scenarios. The examples illustrate how ISSA 5000 can be applied across a range of engagements: Five examples of assurance reports with unmodified assurance conclusions, addressing common engagement types: Assurance on sustainability disclosures aligned with IFRS S1 and S2, for both limited and reasonable assurance engagements Assurance on selected sustainability disclosures in an entity’s sustainability report Assurance on sustainability disclosures prepared using multiple reporting frameworks Assurance engagements combining limited and reasonable assurance A further three examples of assurance reports with modified conclusions illustrating a: Qualified conclusion Disclaimer of conclusion Adverse conclusion Together, these illustrative reports help bring ISSA 5000 to a practical level, demonstrating how technical issues can be addressed in practice. They reflect questions and issues that regulators, practitioners, and others have begun to encounter as they adopt and apply the new standard. This publication is part of the IAASB’s broader efforts to support the adoption and implementation of ISSA 5000 and provide guidance to help practitioners apply the standard with confidence and consistency.

Moving to accrual accounting can be technically complex and lengthy process. IPSAS 33 provides transitional reliefs (temporary exemptions and accommodations) to reduce burden and ease the transition to accrual-based IPSAS Standards. “The successful application of IPSAS 33 is often a cornerstone of the adoption and implementation of IPSAS Standards. A government that uses IPSAS Standards is better equipped to make sound financial decisions, and we want to make the journey to implementation as easy as we can.” said IPSASB Chair Ian Carruthers. “This pronouncement does not to change the objective, scope, or available exemptions in IPSAS 33, rather, the updated version of IPSAS 33 clarifies the guidance, making it easier for entities to successfully complete their IPSAS transition journey.”  IPSAS 33 was originally issued in 2015 and has been applied by a number of public sector entities during their transition to accrual basis IPSAS Standards. In response to user feedback, the updated IPSAS 33 provides:    More user-friendly guidance to support the entity’s broader accrual transition journey;  Clearer relief provisions throughout the entire transition process; and  Reliefs that encourage earlier recognition and measurement of items, helping entities achieve IPSAS compliance as early as possible.  The newly published 2025 version of IPSAS 33 addresses these concerns while maintaining all existing reliefs that are available in the 2015 version. IPSAS 33, First-time Adoption of Accrual Basis International Public Sector Accounting Standards is effective January 1, 2028. Earlier application is permitted. dorodian Sun, 23 Nov 2025 05:03:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:230 https://en.iacpa.ir/News/ID/228/acounting-today-news#Comments 0 https://en.iacpa.ir/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=80&ModuleID=444&ArticleID=228 https://en.iacpa.ir:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=228&PortalID=0&TabID=80 https://en.iacpa.ir/News/ID/228/acounting-today-news   PARTNER INSIGHTS FROM INSIGHTSOFTWARE WEB SEMINAR Beyond compliance: Optimizing lease management for 2025 and beyond Tuesday, December 16, 2025 at 02:00 pm ET / 11:00 am PT 60 Minutes   The post-compliance era demands a strategic shift in lease management.
