The Accounting Standards Council of Singapore (ASC) is pleased to host the annual International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) Regional Standard-Setters Meeting 2008 from 16 to 17 July at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Singapore.

The IASB Regional Standard-Setters Meeting brings together the accounting standard-setting authorities from the ASEAN as well as Asia-Pacific countries to discuss and share their countries' perspectives on major issues arising from the implementation of the International Financial Reporting Standards.

As part of the event, the ASC is hosting the public seminar "IFRS: A Global and Regional Perspective" on 17 July. At this seminar, Sir David Tweedie, Chairman of IASB, and Mr Warren McGregor, Board Member of IASB, will be sharing the latest updates on the IASB's work programme and major technical projects.
