ITC 41 The AASB’s approach to International Public Sector Accounting Standards

Proposes to replace the AASB Approach to IPSASs (issued October 2011) which sets out the conditions necessary for the AASB to adopt International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) for not-for-profit public sector entities in Australia, rather than using IFRS with Australian-specific amendments for such entities.
