July 23, 2013 Joint FASB/IASB Board Meeting
Accounting
for Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement. The IASB and the
FASB discussed the plan for the upcoming joint redeliberations of their
respective classification and measurement proposals for financial instruments.
The Boards will begin redeliberations in September with a discussion of the
contractual cash flow characteristics assessment for classifying financial
assets. The Boards anticipate that their joint redeliberations as well as the
IASB-only redeliberations will be substantially complete by the end of 2013. The
FASB will also continue to expeditiously consider the feedback received on its
proposed Accounting Standards Update during the remainder of this year. The
meeting was informational and no decisions were made.

Exposure Draft ED/2013/3, Financial Instruments: Expected Credit
Losses. The meeting was informational and no decisions were made. A
