*Summary of Decisions Reached at the Last Meeting
November 19, 2010 Joint Board Meeting
The Boards discussed some of the issues raised in comment letters on the Exposure Draft, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting: The Reporting Entity, and concluded that significant time will be required to satisfactorily address those issues. Because of the priority placed on other projects, the Boards concluded that they cannot devote the time necessary to properly address those issues in the near future.
Decisions Reached to Date
Decisions reached to date are reflected in the Exposure Draft currently exposed for public comment.
*Next Steps
The staff will continue to analyze the issues and develop alternative ways to resolve them. The Boards will discuss them when the necessary time is available. That is not expected to occur during the first half of 2011.
*Board/Other Public Meetings
