The FASB and the IASB will host several joint public roundtable meetings on their revised joint proposals on leases that were published in May 2013: the revised proposed FASB Accounting Standards Update, Leases (Topic 842), and the IASB Exposure Draft, Leases.
The roundtable meetings are an important part of the Boards’ due process on the revised Exposure Drafts. The meetings will provide an opportunity for those that have submitted a comment letter, or who still intend to submit a comment letter, to discuss the proposals with the Boards in further detail. To ensure that the Boards receive input covering a variety of perspectives, the Boards are seeking participation from preparers, auditors, investors, and others.
Registration information for interested participants and observers is available on the leases project page. An audio recording of the roundtable meetings will be made available shortly after each meeting on the FASB and IASB websites.
