The Basis for Conclusions provides background to a project, main comments received on the exposure draft, and the IAASB's conclusions regarding these comments in developing the final pronouncement. Basis for Conclusions documents are prepared by IAASB staff and relate to, but do not form part of, the IAASB's issued pronouncements.

The Basis for Conclusions for the clarified standards can be found on the clarified standards page in the Clarity Center. Those set forth below describe the substantive revisions to the standards that had approved by the IAASB before those standards were redrafted, as well as for new pronouncements developed after the completion of the Clarity project.
