ACCA Applied Skills · Financial Reporting · Regulatory framework

Place the following steps of the IASB's due process in the order in which they normally occur: (1) publication of an exposure draft, (2) setting the agenda, (3) publication of the final standard, (4) publication of a discussion paper or other consultation on the issue.

The normal order is setting the agenda, then a discussion paper or similar consultation, then an exposure draft, and finally the published standard. The exposure draft follows the early consultation because it contains specific proposals, and nothing proceeds until the issue is on the agenda.

  4. D1, 2, 4, 3

Explanation

The IASB first sets the agenda, then normally consults through a discussion paper or similar, then issues an exposure draft, and finally publishes the standard. Putting the exposure draft before the discussion paper reverses the consultation sequence, and the agenda must be set first.
