UKEB sets out Year Two of its 2025/28 Regulatory Strategy

In December 2025, the UKEB published its (Draft) 2026/27 Regulatory Strategy and Research topics for stakeholder consultation. The UKEB has responded to feedback on its 2025/28 Regulatory Strategy, which highlighted that stakeholders wanted more information and an opportunity to comment on its priority projects and the proactive research projects it intends to undertake. The UKEB is seeking stakeholder comments on the endorsement, influencing, monitoring and proactive research projects which it intends to undertake during the upcoming financial year.

UKEB Chair, Paul Lee, said:

"As the UKEB undertakes year two of its 3-year strategy, it will continue to fulfil its important role in influencing the development of high-quality IFRS accounting standards suitable for UK adoption. We look forward to receiving your comments on our proposed priority standard setting and research projects for the coming year."

The stakeholder consultation will be open until 6 February 2026. Respondents should submit their comments to [email protected] by that date.

For operational reasons, the UKEB’s 2026/27 budget is incorporated within the FRC Plan and Budget which is also open for consultation until 6 February 2026.
