The Conceptual Framework consists of eight chapters and an extensive Basis for Conclusions. The introduction explains that its purpose is to:

  • assist the IASB to develop and revise its standards;
  • assist entities to develop consistent accounting policies when no standard applies to a particular transaction or other event, or when a standard allows a choice of accounting policy; and
  • assist all stakeholders to understand and interpret the standards.
