Japan’s Business Accounting Council (BAC) met on 26 March 2013 to resume its deliberations about the use of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) in Japan. The meeting was the first to address IFRSs since Japan’s December 2012 general election, with a renewed composition of the BAC (approximately 10 out of 30 council members have been changed). There was no consensus at the meeting, and the BAC is expected to continue deliberations at future meetings.
