TRG

The Technical Reference Group (TRG) was established in 2014 to provide a forum for the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board (NZASB) to consult on technical accounting issues. 

TRG focuses on the practical application and implementation of accounting standards.

It is an informal consultative group, not a formal decision-making group.  The development, approval and promotion of accounting standards and other pronouncements remains the responsibility of the NZASB.  

The TRG meets about four times each year and has input into NZASB projects as appropriate.
