IFAC: IPSABS established new Consultative Advisory Group

07 December 2015

The IPSASB announced the establishment of a new forum — the IPSASB Consultative Advisory Group - that will have representatives of public and private sector organizations and individuals who are interested in or affected by the IPSASB’s work.

The IPSASB Consultative Advisory Group (CAG) will provide advice to the IPSASB on:

• The IPSASB’s strategy and work plan;
• IPSASB’s projects, including views on technical issues or matters that may impede adopting and implementation of IPSAS; and
• Oher matters relevant to the IPSASB standard-setting activities.

The inaugural meeting of the CAG is provisionally planned for June 2016 in Toronto, Canada.

“The formation of the CAG marks an important milestone in further strengthening of the governance arrangements for the IPSASB following the creation of the Public Interest Committee (PIC) earlier this year. The CAG’s establishment responds to a key recommendation in the governance review group’s report and will serve to further strengthen the IPSASB’s standard-setting processes by enabling additional dialogue with key stakeholders,” said IPSASB Chair Andreas Bergmann.
