Project Overview

Objective

The objective of this phase of the measurement project is to evaluate the applicability of current operational value in IPSAS that permit the use of current value at initial recognition and subsequent measurement, which were not explicitly considered in the first phase of the project.

Why the IPSASB Undertook this Project

In March 2023, the IPSASB began a limited scope phase of the measurement project with the primary objective of evaluating the applicability of current operational value across existing IPSAS, in the context of the recently approved current operational value principles in IPSAS 46, Measurement, and the Updated Conceptual Framework: Chapter 7, Measurement of Assets and Liabilities in Financial Statements in May 2023.
