I am pleased to announce that the IFRS Foundation’s annual conference will be held at the Grange Tower Bridge Hotel in London on Thursday 20 and Friday 21 June 2019. We have enclosed the programme for the conference, which will provide an excellent opportunity for you to get ahead and hear first-hand what the International Accounting Standards Board is considering after completing its major projects.
