The International Accounting Standards Board (Board) is seeking candidates to join the IFRS Taxonomy Consultative Group from 1 April 2019. The IFRS Taxonomy Consultative Group contributes to the development of the IFRS Taxonomy by providing regular input on taxonomy-related issues.
The IFRS Taxonomy Consultative Group was established by the Board to provide input on IFRS Taxonomy content and technology. During regular meetings, members discuss and advise on taxonomy-related matters. Members also review changes in the IFRS Taxonomy in-depth to assess their feasibility and decide whether the changes accurately reflect IFRS Standards' presentation and disclosure requirements.
The IFRS Taxonomy Consultative Group usually meets face-to-face in London for one day twice a year; additionally, members participate in about four one-hour conference calls a year, depending on the number and complexity of topics to be discussed.
