The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued Exposure Draft on Relationships with the State: Proposed Amendments to IAS 24 with the objective to exempt an entity from disclosing transactions with the state as well as other state-controlled entities, regardless of whether influence actually exists in such relationships. However, the proposal would require an entity to disclose information necessary to draw attention to such transactions.
