Governance of the International Accounting Standards Board still needs to improve and only when it does will it cease to be a political, according to an EU official.

Reuters reports that David Wright, deputy head of the European Union's internal market commission said that there was still "much work to be done" on IASB governance.

The agency reports Wright claimed that finalising the governance structure was a key element in "depoliticising" accounting standards.
