How to automatically play a presentation and time slides in Keynote

If you’re creating a presentation in Keynote that you want to play automatically without any interaction, this is easier to do than you might think. You can set up the slideshow to start playing when you click and then go through each slide automatically. And with this, you may want to display those slides for specific amounts of time.

To help you create the perfect slideshow, this tutorial shows you how to set up a self-playing presentation and time your slides in Keynote.

Set up self-play and slide timing in Keynote

Setting up your presentation to automatically play and change the time spent on slides is done in the same spot. So that makes this easy!

On iPhone or iPad

Open your presentation in Keynote on your iPhone or iPad and then do the following:

• Tap the More (three-dot icon) button on the top right.
• Scroll down and select Settings .
• Tap Presentation Type and select Self-Playing .
• In the Delay boxes on the bottom, use the sliders to change the times in seconds for Transitions and Builds.

Open Keynote on your Mac to your presentation and then follow these steps:

• Click the Document button on the top right.
• In the Presentation Type box, select Self-Playing .
• In the Delay boxes to the right, use the arrows or enter times in seconds for Transitions and Builds. These refer to slide transitions and build effects.

Even though you have each slide delay set up for the self-playing option on Mac, you can keep certain slides on display for a longer or shorter amount of time if you like:

• Click the Animate button on the top right.
• In the Start Transition box, select Automatically .
• In the Delay box to the right, use the arrows or enter a time in seconds for the slide transition delay.

Using the self-playing presentation option is terrific for events or activities where you don’t want to have to interact with the slideshow. And Keynote on both iOS and Mac makes it simple.

6 Must-know Keynote presentation keyboard shortcuts

April 4, 2023

Apple users are loyal – refusing to use any other operating system. This user loyalty doesn’t only go for devices, it may go for applications too. For instance, many prefer doing presentations via Keynote, rather than PowerPoint or Google Slide . 

Whether you’re a die-hard Keynote presenter, or you’re being asked to use Keynote for a presentation – I have some keyboard shortcuts you can use to keep your presentation moving swiftly during your next meeting.

Keep your cool by using keyboard shortcuts 

Slipping up during a presentation happens to the best of us. All it takes is two seconds for you to lose your concentration after you see an audience member disengage, you look at your keypad for too long, or you click the wrong button one too many times. 

All of this can be avoided by using shortcuts while delivering your Keynote presentation. Using shortcuts allows you to:

• Keep your eyes on the crowd, keeping their attention. 
• Have more control over your presentation.
• Navigate through the slides with ease. 

Keynote keyboard shortcuts to remember 

Use the below keyboard shortcuts during your Keynote presentation and never fumble again. Whether you’re using Mac or Windows, these will work – since, if you’re using Windows, you’ll have to access Keynote via Apple’s iWork on your web browser. So, in other words, you’ll be using Apple either way. 

1. Pause the presentation and show a blank screen (white or black)

To get all eyes on you – rather than reading the presentation content – press “W” for a white blank screen or “B” for a blank black screen . 

When you’re done making your point, press the same key you used initially to get back to the presentation. 

2. Navigate to any slide you want 

Get to any slide you want to, from anywhere, by pressing the slide number you want to get to. 

3. Point at content 

Don’t have a physical laser pointer but want to point at some content? Press “C” to bring up the pointer . To get rid of it, press “C” again. 

4. Switch to another app 

If you’re moving between the slides and something else you’re demonstrating, then open the other app before opening your slides. From there you can press “H” whenever you need to hide the slides and open the last app used. 

5. Skip a slide 

Sometimes you add in a slide or an animation, but when presentation time comes you’d prefer to skip it. To do this, simply press “]” . 

6. Access your notes 

Forgot what you wanted to say? Press “U” to open the presenter notes, and “D” to close them when you’re done. 

Kill it with Keynote! 

With keynote presentation shortcuts, you’ll keep your audience keen and connected. Make sure you use them! If you need assistance creating the perfect slides, contact me .

Can keynote pause on the first slide, wait for a trigger, then loop to conclusion?

I'm using keynote 8.2 and have the show working just fine showing 218 slides automatically. But I do not want it to auto start. I want the the first slide displayed until triggered, and then I want it to play through until it's back to the first slide and want it to stop there until triggered.

Is it possible to have a Keynote deck pause at one slide only, but play the rest through?

2 Answers 2

You can do this inside of Keynote. Right-click on the Animate tab at the top of the right sidebar. You don't need any transition effect so to simplify things I'll use none. Now click on Select All from the Edit menu item. you can see all your slides are selected by looking at the snapshots on the left. Now go back to the right sidebar and where it says Start Transition, pull the menu down and select automatically, and set the delay for the time you want each slide to appear. Now unselect all the slides and click to select 1st one only. Now go back to the right sidebar and for this one slide change the Transition to Automatically with a delay of 600 secs. That's the maximum delay so slide show will start automatically after 10 minutes.

Now you have your animation set up you can click the play button at the top of the Keynote window. This will bring up the 1st slide but it will do nothing until you click. Then it will start displaying all the slides for the number of seconds you entered. if you need a longer or shorter time for a specific slide, click on that slide in the left sidebar and then in the right sidebar change the Delay Time to a new value. Now try playing it again.

After you have all the delays set you can also go to Keynote Live at the top of the Keynote window and click that button. This will allow you to issue invitations and then saves the presentation so all you have to do is click on the Green Play button at the top and the presentation will begin.

The 10-minute max delay time was the only way I could get the presentation to stay on slide one for any length of time. Maybe experimenting with the setting you can find a better way.

The easiest way I have achieved this before is by exporting the presentation as a movie file and opening it in Quicktime. Export the presentation with all of the transitions set automatically as they are for the auto lopping presentation. After it is exported open the video file in Quicktime and make the video full screen, I start the video by pressing the spacebar and then after it ends when I want to start the loop again I simply tap the space bar restart the video.

• Export Keynote Presentation as Movie File
• Open Movie File in Quicktime
• Make Video Window Full Screen
• Tap Spacebar to start video
• After video completes tap spacebar again to restart

Keynote video pausing/playing

I have an idea for linking a keynote presentation with a video (exported from a 3d tool). The idea is that each time you 'click' (as you would to move to the next slide/transition) it would play x more frames of the video then pause. So frame 1-30 might be the first animation, and it would pause on frame 30. Then, you click again and it plays 31-60, stopping on 60.

Is such a thing possible and if so how would I achieve it? Assume a video file is available in the required format.

Many thanks.

• presentation

The easiest way I can think of would be to actually do it as multiple videos and stills. Have the first video play and then go to a still of the last frame. The next would be the next video clip followed by the still. Continue doing that for the length of it. Not sure if it works like that in Keynote or not, but that's how I'd do it in any of my sequencing/presentation packages.

• Many thanks, you're right. You mentioned other sequencing/pres packages - are there any potentially more suitable ones I should check out? –  Glinkot Commented May 24, 2013 at 22:03
• @Glinkot - unfortunately all my stuff is PC based rather than Mac and tends to run the higher end. –  AJ Henderson ♦ Commented May 24, 2013 at 22:47
• I run both, so any mentions still appreciated :) –  Glinkot Commented May 24, 2013 at 23:14
• ProPresenter is one of the ones I typically use for doing sequencing. It's built more specifically as a media sequencer and so it gives better overall control of the order of things, but less "fluff" in the way of animation of text and such. –  AJ Henderson ♦ Commented May 25, 2013 at 21:42

Jensen huang, dr. dava newman, manu prakash, and dr. mark sagar headline the siggraph 2024 keynote presentations.

Keynote speakers will share their perspectives for building our most desirable technological future on all scales and advancing computer graphics and interactive techniques into the next half century.

DENVER , June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SIGGRAPH 2024, the premier conference and exhibition on computer graphics and interactive techniques, announces that Jensen Huang, Dr. Dava Newman , Manu Prakash , and Dr. Mark Sagar will headline the Keynote Presentations . From the Microscopic to the Body, Built Environment, City, Planet, Cosmos, and even unmeasurable concepts like Imagination, the esteemed SIGGRAPH 2024 Keynote Speakers will share their perspectives for building our most desirable technological future on all scales and advancing computer graphics and interactive techniques into the next half century. The 51st annual conference returns to its Colorado roots — the SIGGRAPH concept came to fruition at The University of Colorado in Boulder — from Sunday, 28 July to Thursday, 1 August, 2024 , in person at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver , with a companion Virtual Access component.

"As SIGGRAPH emphasizes what the conference is and explores new territories, we are investing a lot of energy in bringing a wide array of world-class visionaries and leaders to be our Keynote Speakers," SIGGRAPH 2024 Conference Chair Andres Burbano of the Open University of Catalonia said. "Jensen Huang will talk about the philosophy behind NVIDIA's transformation from a company working in graphics to being the worldwide motor of artificial intelligence computing. Dr. Mark Sagar will share his expertise as a bioengineer who developed computational models of his work and changed the film industry, and has now brought them to life to impact how we interact in real time with artificial intelligence. Dr. Dava Newman will talk about the impact of computer graphics and interactive techniques in planning and executing interplanetary trips or missions — emphasizing one of Colorado's largest industries, aerospace. And finally, Manu Prakash will share findings from some of his scientific experimental work in the microscopic domain developing tools that he is also active in implementing."

Beyond the Illusion of Life Presented by: Dr. Mark Sagar Monday, 29 July 2024 9–10:30 am MDT

The essence of animation is creating the illusion of life, convincing the audience that a character is alive and has its own feelings and thoughts. Is it possible to bring an interactive digital character to "life" who can "think," "feel," have experiences, and act with volition? What is it, exactly, to think, to feel, to experience? In his keynote, Dr. Mark Sagar will discuss his team's biologically based approach, where they are developing a virtual nervous system analogous to our own, combining computational models of sensory, cognitive and emotional processes, language, behavior, and motor systems. These systems activate virtual muscles to animate a virtual face and body, sensing, learning, acting, and reacting in real time. The interoperation of these systems in face-to-face and shared interactions is exemplified in projects like BabyX, a simulated toddler which aims to enhance our comprehension of social learning and behavior — but it can also serve as groundwork for achieving human-like cooperation with future artificial intelligence. Dr. Sagar will elaborate how creating the inner life of a character is strongly linked with the "body," one of the central thematic focuses of the conference.

Double-Academy Award winner Dr. Sagar is the co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Soul Machines and Director of the Laboratory for Animate Technologies at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute. He and his team are bringing technology to life, pioneering the creation of autonomously animated virtual humans with virtual brains and nervous systems — capable of highly expressive face-to-face interaction and real-time learning and emotional response — to create the next generation of human interaction with biologically inspired artificial intelligence. Dr. Sagar has a Ph.D. in engineering from the University of Auckland and was a postdoctoral fellow at MIT . He previously worked as the special projects supervisor at Weta Digital and Sony Pictures Imageworks and developed technology for the digital characters in blockbusters such "Avatar", "King Kong", and "Spiderman 2". His pioneering work in computer-generated faces was recognized with two consecutive Scientific and Engineering Oscars in 2010 and 2011. Dr. Sagar was elected as a fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 2019 and was named New Zealand Innovator of the Year in 2022.

NVIDIA CEO Fireside Chat: AI and Graphics for the New Computing Revolution Presented by: Jensen Huang Monday, 29 July 2024 2:30–3:30 pm MDT

In this fireside chat, NVIDIA Founder and CEO Jensen Huang sits down with Lauren Goode , senior writer at WIRED, to discuss how accelerated computing and generative AI are transforming industries such as manufacturing and creating new opportunities for innovation and growth. The convergence of AI and advanced computing, from AI PCs to AI factories to digital twins, is driving this transformation. It's the beginning of a new industrial revolution.

Jensen will speak with Lauren about the impact of robotics and AI in industrial digitization, illustrating how industry sectors are adopting autonomous operations and building city-scale digital twins to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Jensen will also answer some questions from the SIGGRAPH community.

Huang founded NVIDIA in 1993 and has served since its inception as president, chief executive officer, and a member of the board of directors. He has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering and is a recipient of the Semiconductor Industry Association's highest honor, the Robert N. Noyce Award; IEEE Founder's Medal; the Dr. Morris Chang Exemplary Leadership Award; and honorary doctorate degrees from National Chiao Tung University, National Taiwan University, and Oregon State University . Huang has been named the world's best CEO by The Economist and Harvard Business Review, as well as Fortune's Businessperson of the Year and one of TIME magazine's 100 most influential people. He holds a BSEE degree from Oregon State University and an MSEE degree from Stanford .

Humanity Becoming Interplanetary: Exploring Space for Earth Presented by: Dr. Dava Newman Tuesday, 30 July 2024 9–10:30 am MDT

Dr. Dava Newman's keynote presentation will cover the theme of "Humanity Becoming Interplanetary: Exploring Space for Earth." Our amazing Webb Space Telescope discoveries to recent space science missions to Pluto and Jupiter, the discovery of thousands of exoplanets, and orbital missions to monitor Spaceship Earth provide a cosmic perspective. Humanity will become interplanetary and find life elsewhere; however, Mars is not "Plan B". Spaceship Earth, our pale blue dot, is the most magnificent planet for humanity to thrive. Earth is speaking to us — are we listening? A visual, interactive Earth Mission Control is revealed that will help take actions to regenerate Earth's oceans, land, and atmosphere subsystems. The "overview effect" from space lets us appreciate Earth's interconnected systems through supercomputer data visualizations and hyper-local narratives of natural disasters with the goal to accelerate collective actions for a healthier future between humanity and our home planet.

Dr. Newman is the director of the MIT Media Lab, holds the Apollo Program Professor of Astronautics chair at MIT , and is a Harvard–MIT Health Sciences and Technology faculty member. She served as NASA Deputy Administrator (2015–2017). Nominated by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the U.S. Senate unanimously in April 2015 , Dr. Newman was the third woman and first female engineer and scientist to serve in this role. During her tenure, she made significant impact on NASA's human exploration, specifically developing and articulating the Human Journey to Mars plan, highlighting scientific missions, advocating for transformative aeronautics capabilities, developing and implementing a strategic innovation framework, and advocating for diversity and inclusion for NASA and the nation's STEM initiatives. Dr. Newman's research expertise is in aerospace biomedical engineering investigating human performance across the spectrum of gravity and AI/ML for the dual challenge of energy and climate. She is a leader in advanced space suit design, astronaut performance, climate modeling and visualization, leadership development, innovation, and space policy. Dr. Newman was the principal investigator on five spaceflight missions.

The Often Unseen World Presented by: Manu Prakash Wednesday, 31 July 2024 9–10 a.m. MDT

In Manu Prakash's keynote presentation, he will take attendees on a "microscopic" journey of the often unseen world — a delight of creatures most beautiful and marvelous with dazzling graphical feats. Come for the science, and stay for the community-enabled discoveries made around the world.

Prakash is an associate professor of bioengineering at Stanford University , a Senior Fellow at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, a Pew Scholar, and the co-inventor of the Foldscope and co-founder of Foldscope Instruments. At Stanford , he runs a curiosity-driven science lab focused on using highly interdisciplinary approaches to understand how computation is embodied in biological matter. Prakash's lab is dedicated to inventing, building, and scaling up "frugal science" tools to democratize access to science, including the discovery of the Foldscope, a foldable microscope made mostly of paper.

Relive the biggest moments from WWDC24

Today Apple kicked off its 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference, revealing groundbreaking new technologies and features during a keynote that was live-streamed from Apple Park to millions around the world. During the weeklong event, developers and students will have unique access to Apple experts, as well as insight into new tools, frameworks, and features to help elevate their apps and games.

This year’s keynote revealed Apple Intelligence , the personal intelligence system that combines the power of generative models with users’ personal context — at the core of iPhone, iPad, and Mac to deliver intelligence that’s incredibly useful and relevant. Major updates also come to iOS 18 , iPadOS 18 , macOS Sequoia , and watchOS 11 , including the biggest-ever redesign of the Photos app, game-changing productivity tools, and new ways for users to express themselves and customize their devices. visionOS 2 brings powerful new ways to interact with Apple Vision Pro and exciting updates to spatial photos and Mac Virtual Display, and tvOS 18 infuses useful information in Apple TV+ films and shows on users’ biggest screen in the home.

Beginning this month, Apple Vision Pro is also coming to more countries and regions, including China mainland, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and next month will come to Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the U.K.

Apple Intelligence harnesses the power of Apple silicon to understand and create language and images, take action across apps, and draw from users’ personal context to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks. A cornerstone of Apple Intelligence is on-device processing, which delivers personal intelligence without collecting users’ data. Private Cloud Compute sets a new standard for privacy in AI, with the ability to flex and scale computational capacity between on-device processing, and larger, server-based models that run on dedicated Apple silicon servers.

With iOS 18 , users will now be able to arrange apps and widgets in any open space on the Home Screen, customize the buttons at the bottom of the Lock Screen, and quickly access more controls in Control Center. With the biggest redesign ever of the Photos app, photo libraries are automatically organized in a new single view in Photos, and helpful new collections keep favorites easily accessible. All-new text effects come to iMessage, amplifying any letter, word, phrase, or emoji with dynamic, animated appearances to bring conversations to life. Users can also now communicate over satellite in the Messages app, even when a cellular or Wi-Fi connection isn’t available.

With iPadOS 18 , the iPad experience is more versatile and intelligent than ever with new features and apps designed for Apple Pencil. The Calculator app comes to iPad with Math Notes, which allows users to type or write out mathematical expressions and see them instantly solved in their own handwriting. New handwriting tools in Notes including Smart Script make handwritten notes more fluid, flexible, and easier to read.

With macOS Sequoia , Continuity between iPhone and Mac gets better than ever with iPhone Mirroring, enabling full access to and control of iPhone directly from Mac. Safari gets another big update with the new Highlights feature for effortless information discovery on webpages while browsing. Gaming is even more immersive with Personalized Spatial Audio that puts players in the middle of the action like never before. And Apple Intelligence unlocks new ways for Mac users to enhance their writing and communicate more effectively, create playful images in seconds, and more. Apple Intelligence takes full advantage of the power of Apple silicon and its Neural Engine, and will be supported by every Mac with an M-series chip.

watchOS 11 offers breakthrough insights into users’ health and fitness, and more personalization than ever. The new Vitals app surfaces key health metrics and context, the ability to measure training load offers a game-changing new experience when working out, and the popular Activity rings are even more customizable. The Smart Stack and Photos face use intelligence to feature more individualization, and Apple Watch and the Health app on iPhone and iPad offer additional support for users who are pregnant. Check In, the Translate app, and new capabilities for the double tap gesture come to Apple Watch for added connectivity and convenience.

Just months after its initial release, visionOS 2 brings powerful spatial computing experiences to Apple Vision Pro, including new ways for users to create spatial photos with the images already in their library, intuitive hand gestures to easily access important information at a glance, and new features for Mac Virtual Display, Travel Mode, and Guest User. visionOS 2 also introduces exciting new capabilities like Follow Your Breathing in the Mindfulness app, SharePlay for Photos, and multiview in the TV app.

With tvOS 18 , intelligent new features like InSight — and updates to Enhance Dialogue and subtitles — level up cinematic experiences, while new Apple Fitness+, Apple Music, and FaceTime capabilities get even better on users’ biggest screen. The Home app gains new features with iOS 18, like guest access and hands-free unlock with home keys, delivering effortless and secure access to the home. AirPods software updates will transform the way users respond to Siri with new gestures, take calls with friends and loved ones, and immerse themselves in their favorite games.

Two methods:

1 - Use Builds, but this stops the sound abruptly, very annoying to listen to:

2 - edit the music in GarageBand, fade down then fade up the levels at the correct time, then place the edited file on the slide

Jul 21, 2018 3:06 AM in response to Gary Scotland

Thanks for your reply.

But I have one more question.

My background music is added by document ->audio .

So I can't use the action -> build in -> build order to decide the order.

It's mean my build stuff just one (the video clip.)

Should I change the way to add the background music?

Jul 21, 2018 3:31 AM in response to Sharon0

In your first post, you say;

I used a audio file to do the background music for whole slide

I interpreted that to mean you only want the music to play, only when that one slide is shown.

to play a sound file only on a single slide, the sound file is aded to that one slide, you can then use Builds to control the sound

to play a sound file with all the slides in a presentation, the file must be added to the the Soundtrack (Inspector > Document > Audio > Soundtrack), you would then need to edit the sound file in Garage Band to control the sound

Andreas Barckow, Chair of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), delivered a keynote address at the IFRS Foundation Conference on 24 June 2024.

Introduction

A very warm welcome to everyone. It is a great pleasure to see so many of you joining us at this year’s conference , whether you are here in person or participating virtually from around the world.

I want to take a moment to acknowledge the role that your engagement and your expertise play in improving financial reporting. Every one of us here is a member of the financial reporting ecosystem. We value and respect your efforts to achieve our shared mission to bring transparency, accountability and efficiency to financial markets around the world. Thank you for your participation. And thank you in advance for the insights you will be bringing to all the discussions taking place today and tomorrow.

From uncertainty to complexity

At last year’s conference , I spoke to you about the role of financial reporting in uncertain times. As we come together at this year’s conference, I want to explore a related but distinct issue that we face in our service of the public interest—complexity.

Complexity and uncertainty might not be twins, but they are definitely relatives. They often coexist and influence each other, but they also present distinct obstacles to the financial reporting environment.

Complexity is not a new phenomenon in human history. But modern complexity is very much rooted in today’s economic world. At the heart of the matter is the growing complexity of business transactions. The evolving complexity of the business environment has led to increasingly complex business transactions, which ultimately end up being reflected in financial reporting.

But it is not just transactions that are more complex. The business world has plenty of evidence of companies having to operate with more complexity in their supply chains, for example. We also face a multitude of other risk factors that, when coupled with the rapid pace of change, introduce an additional layer of complexity. All these factors continuously shape and reshape our business environment, compelling all of us to adapt to new realities.

The effect of complexity is felt throughout the entire financial reporting landscape—by companies, investors, auditors and standard-setters alike. The layers of complexity can be a barrier to effective decision-making. They have the potential to make it harder for companies to effectively communicate their story to investors, and for investors to understand and properly use financial information. Complexity also poses challenges for auditors in exercising their professional judgement when auditing financial statements and providing assurance to financial reports more widely.

Larger institutions may have the resources to navigate complexity, but smaller players might struggle to keep up, particularly when they are grappling with several layers of complexity at the same time.

Now, some might argue that we at the IASB are also a source of complexity, both from the perspective of those who apply IFRS Accounting Standards to prepare financial information and those who use the financial reporting outcomes produced by the Standards. That—in our efforts to faithfully represent the economic realities of today and tomorrow—our Accounting Standards have become more elaborate. And there is some truth to this argument.

However, it is important to recognise that unpicking complex transactions does not mean isolating a single issue and treating it as an individual problem to be solved. Instead, we must acknowledge the inherent complexity of the economic landscape.

In our desire to be helpful, we often provide additional guidance and clarity. However, every line we write to supplement our core principles and requirements runs the risk of inadvertently creating complexity. In this regard, the IASB is in the same boat as you, navigating the choppy waters of complexity, striving to chart a course that balances the need for better information with the desire for simplicity and understandability.

Our approach

So how are we, as the IASB, approaching this challenge?

We need to strike a balance between overreacting and underreacting to complexity. Although complexity can be daunting, I believe we can also use it as an opportunity to develop effective solutions and drive positive changes. The fact remains that even though we face complexities, investors remain committed to allocating capital to companies and economies that offer growth potential. The global capital flows remain remarkably resilient, even in the midst of complexity.

As an international organisation serving a global audience in almost 150 jurisdictions, we recognise that embracing complexity is an integral part of our reality. Our stakeholders have diverse needs and varying levels of familiarity with our work. Central to our approach is the need to balance their diverse requirements by carefully weighing up the costs and benefits of our actions.

In line with this commitment, we recently published two new Accounting Standards, IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements and IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures . IFRS 18 is a real-world example that enhances the comparability of financial statements. IFRS 19 is an IASB initiative that simplifies accounting for eligible subsidiaries, thereby saving time and reducing costs for companies.

Tangible steps

Let me highlight six additional areas in which we are taking tangible steps to manage complexity.

First, we are striving to master the complexity in our own work. As I mentioned, some complexity in Accounting Standards is inevitable if we are to remain relevant and reflective of the real world.

However, I also believe that we at the IASB must carefully consider where and how we can do more to reduce complexity and improve the accessibility of our Standards. We need to be ever more judicious in where we focus our efforts and resources. To this end, we are encouraging greater collaboration and consistency among our technical project teams to avoid redundancies and contradictions in our Accounting Standards.

Second, we are prioritising. Our agenda consultation process—in which you participate—gives us a clear direction in which to focus our efforts to benefit all our stakeholders. It helps to keep our literature relevant and tuned to your needs.

However, it is important to note that prioritisation is an ongoing process, not just limited to agenda consultations. We make prioritisation and de-prioritisation decisions throughout the five-year cycle. In all these decisions, we strive to balance urgency with cost to the system, aiming to be mindful of complexity. This approach means that we remain responsive to emerging needs while managing resources effectively.

Third, we are focusing on how we can help you to address complexity. Our goal, in fact the very DNA of the IFRS Foundation, is to help stakeholders make better-informed decisions by providing them with the tools to cut through complexity. Whether through clearer standards, more consistent application guidance or more accessible communications, everything we do is aimed at this fundamental objective. We are committed to making our educational materials available to our global stakeholders in several languages and formats to increase understandability.

Fourth, we know that the way stakeholders access and use information has evolved significantly. Companies, investors and regulators are looking for efficient ways to search, extract and compare financial disclosures among companies and jurisdictions. To address this need, we have long had the IFRS Accounting Taxonomy to facilitate the reporting of information in a computer-readable format.

Recently, we have significantly increased our efforts to explain the IFRS Accounting Taxonomy and its benefits to a wider audience. We have been actively working to bring more parties into the taxonomy ecosystem. This work has involved close collaboration with regulators to foster wider adoption and use of the IFRS Accounting Taxonomy. Our efforts are yielding positive results, as evidenced by the recent acknowledgement from IOSCO.

The fifth area in which we are striving to address complexity is in our work with the ISSB. The IASB is working closely with the ISSB to address the growing demand for connectivity. There has been a shift in perspective on the role of financial statements within the broader corporate reporting system. Although financial statements have traditionally been viewed as the central focus of corporate reporting, the rise of sustainability reporting and the formation of the ISSB have created new expectations for reporting that connects financial and sustainability-related information to meet investor needs.

This collaborative effort aims to promote an approach to corporate reporting that seamlessly connects both sides of the ‘reporting coin’. Later today, the Vice-Chairs of both boards, Linda Mezon-Hutter and Sue Lloyd, will illustrate how this connectivity is being achieved and will discuss the practical consequences of this connectivity for you.

Sixth, our commitment to impartiality means that we carefully examine the evidence and follow where it leads. This approach ensures that our decisions are as objective and as well informed as possible.

One example is our recent handling of the Pollutant Pricing Mechanisms project. During our Third Agenda Consultation, this project received attention from respondents, but it was not rated as highly as projects on Intangibles or the Statement of Cash Flows. Consequently, we placed it on our reserve list, to be initiated only if resources became available before the next Agenda Consultation.

Since that decision, we have received calls from stakeholders to prioritise this project. However, true to our principles, we are carrying out an evidence-based assessment to determine objectively whether the situation has indeed changed enough to warrant reprioritisation.

This methodical approach reflects our professionalism and intellectual integrity. Through careful analysis and evidence-based decision-making, all carried out transparently in public meetings, we navigate complexity and deliver high-quality Standards that serve the capital markets.

Working together

In conclusion, we can all play a part in managing complexity. At the IASB, we are committed to doing our part—to develop International Financial Reporting Standards that lead to better decision-making. But we cannot and, indeed, should not do so alone. Managing complexity for better decision-making requires a collaborative effort. It requires all of us to work together.

I urge you to stay engaged with us and with our work. Keep sharing your perspectives and the challenges you face. When we begin consultations, respond to them with your full expertise. As we move forward, I want the IASB to remain agile and responsive and to work with you to ultimately serve the public interest.

But we are asking for more than just feedback. We want a true dialogue. Contact us proactively, just as we do to you. If you disagree with our proposals, help us by telling us what alternative solutions we should consider to solve complex problems.

And there is no better time to start this dialogue than right now. You will be hearing from my fellow IASB members and technical staff throughout this conference. Let’s use this time together to have meaningful discussions about how we can collectively address complexity and improve financial reporting.

Thank you very much for listening.
