IASB published an updated work plan and a summary of its July meeting, which presents preliminary decisions of the Board. Additionally, a summary of the joint meeting held by IASB-FASB on July 23, 2019 has been published. The topics of discussion at the meetings included financial instruments with characteristics of equity, the disclosures initiative, IBOR reform, and the effects on financial reporting, dynamic risk management, and implementation of leases standard (IFRS 16).

At the future Board meetings, IASB will redeliberate some matters raised by respondents on the exposure draft as well as start the deliberations on the next phase of the IBOR reform project. In addition, FASB met with IASB for an educational session on the IASB project on IBOR reform and the FASB project on reference rate reform.
