During the meeting of IASB including their meeting with the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) on 21 June 2024. The following topics were discussed and decisions taken:

5. Provisions—targeted improvements: The IASB decided on three sweep issues arising as a consequence of its tentative decisions in the project.

The ED will have a comment period of 120 days.
6. Pollutant pricing mechanisms: The IASB received an update on horizon scanning activities in relation to pollutant pricing mechanisms. As a next step, the IASB will decide whether to prioritise a project on pollutant pricing mechanisms.
