The ASB continues to promote social distancing. As a result, we will host our scheduled events for August 2020 virtually. If any new information becomes available about the regulations for the risk adjusted strategy for COVID-19, we will communicate this in our Newsletter, website and social media.

The events for the various topics the ASB will be hosting are outlined below.

Participate in discussions on IPSASB’s proposals for revenue and expenses

We will be hosting roundtable discussions on the new Exposure Drafts issued by the IPSASB on potential changes to the revenue standards and new guidance for government expenses. The Exposure Drafts are as follows:

• ED 181 on IPSASB Exposure Draft on Revenue with Performance Obligations (ED 70)
• ED 182 on IPSASB Exposure Draft on Revenue without Performance Obligations (ED 71)
• ED 183 on IPSASB Exposure Draft on Transfer Expenses (ED 72)

The roundtable discussions will focus on discussing issues to be included in the comment letter to the IPSASB on the Exposure Drafts. If you are interested in attending a session, please email elizna@asb.co.za.

Comment on the Exposure Drafts is due locally on 1 October 2020, and the documents can be accessed on the ASB’s website by following this link.
