    ACCA · Question 15 · The Conceptual and Regulatory Framework

    SECTION A

    Which TWO of the following statements regarding the regulatory framework and the standard-setting process are CORRECT?

    Answer options:

    A.

    The IFRS Foundation is responsible for the governance and funding of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

    B.

    The IASB has the legal authority to enforce compliance with IFRS Standards globally.

    C.

    The IFRS Interpretations Committee provides guidance on newly identified financial reporting issues not specifically addressed in IFRSs.

    D.

    A Discussion Paper is the mandatory final step before an IFRS Standard is issued.

    How to approach this question

    Review the roles of the IFRS Foundation, IASB, and Interpretations Committee. Remember that the IASB sets rules but cannot enforce them legally.

    Full Answer

    The IFRS Foundation oversees, governs, and funds the IASB. The IFRS Interpretations Committee issues guidance on ambiguous or unaddressed issues. The IASB does not have enforcement powers (this is left to national regulators like the SEC or FCA). A Discussion Paper is an optional early step in standard-setting, whereas an Exposure Draft is mandatory.

    Common mistakes

    Believing the IASB can legally enforce its standards worldwide.
