Purpose of the FICG

This consultative group will support the IASB’s projects related to financial instruments  by providing specialist technical knowledge and practical insights. It will:

• advise the IASB on projects related to accounting for financial instruments;


• enhance the quality and representativeness of stakeholder feedback by providing input to supplement consultations with the Global Preparers Forum and the Capital Markets Advisory Committee; and


• improve the efficiency, effectiveness and transparency of IASB technical consultations through regular public meetings.

Membership profile

The IASB is seeking up to 15 members with expertise in accounting for financial instruments. Members will include preparers (from both financial and non-financial institutions) and users of financial statements.

Essential attributes include:

• practical preparer or investor experience in accounting for financial instruments;


• practical knowledge relevant to the IASB’s current projects, such as Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Equity, Amortised Cost Measurement and Dynamic Risk Management; and


• willingness to participate actively in open, constructive discussions.

When considering applications, the IASB will aim for balanced representation of regions and industries to ensure a broad and inclusive perspective.

Commitment and meetings
