LONDON (HedgeWorld.com) - The International Swaps and Derivatives Association, in a comment on a proposed new rule by the International Accounting Standards Board, contended that since the level and type of disclosure on financial instruments held by reporting entities often is very sensitive to context, the IASB ought to move away from prescriptive disclosure rules and toward a more flexible principles-based standard.
