COVID-19

The CFRR organized a virtual workshop “IFRS for Regulators: COVID-19 Impacts & Responses” under STAREP program using the Webex platform on Tuesday 30 June 2020, at 14:00.  The event was attended by around 70 participants.

This workshop aimed to inform regulators about recent financial reporting and regulatory guidance, with a particular emphasis on those aspects of accounting and reporting that are currently most relevant to the financial statements of listed companies, especially banks.

The PULSAR program hosted a joint Smart Interactive Talk (SIT) of Financial Reporting (FinCoP) and Education (EduCoP) Communities of Practice.

No transparency, no trust; no trust, no credit; no credit, no investment; no investment, no growth! So there is a simple logic: financial reporting is an essential building block for financial intermediation, foreign investment, and sustainable economic development.  - Martin Gruell, Raiffeisen Bank International (2008)
