Definition

BCBS 161 is a document published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision on August 2009 in the Accounting and Auditing category.

Title

Guiding principles for the replacement of IAS 39.

Abstract

The high level principles released today by the Basel Committee are a response to recommendations made by the G20 leaders at their April 2009 summit to strengthen financial supervision and regulation. The G20 leaders called on "the accounting standard setters to work urgently with supervisors and regulators to improve standards on valuation and provisioning and achieve a single set of high-quality global accounting standards". The principles were provided to the IASB in July. The Committee believe that these principles should facilitate continued, necessary coordination among standard setters, supervisors and regulators in their respective efforts to implement the G20 recommendations.
