THE CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Introduction
• The Conceptual Framework sets out the concepts
that underlie the preparation and presentation of
financial statements for external users
• The Conceptual Framework is not an IFRS and hence
does not define standards for any particular
measurement or disclosure issue
• Nothing in the Conceptual Framework overrides any
specific IFRS
• The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) is
currently updating its conceptual framework in phases
• The IASB uses the Conceptual Framework to develop
future IFRSs and review existing IFRSs.
