Pillar K of the BEDROCK™ Framework: monitoring, revaluation, secondary liquidity, and the optionality of a strengthening credit — the bond in motion There is a temptation, once a bond is placed, to regard the work as finished.

Executive Summary IFRS 20, Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities, changes how companies subject to rate regulation report the financial effects of their regulated activities.
