October 2014 update on IASB insurance accounting project
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) continues to make tentative decisions in its insurance accounting project. However, the IASB has now indicated that its re-deliberations will extend into next year, 2015, which marks the 14th year for the IASB’s project. Issues surrounding performance measurement and the treatment of participating contract features continue to be the most difficult issues.
