03/02/2022 (Agence Europe) – On Thursday, 3 February, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) submitted its contribution to the European Commission consultation on corporate reporting. Launched in November 2021, this consultation aims to improve the quality of reporting and its enforcement. ACCA supports the European Commission’s approach, which consists of considering corporate governance, audit, and supervision as well as reliable annual reports part of the wider financial reporting ecosystem. The organisation also emphasises the idea of placing financial and sustainability reporting on equal footing and integrating them, which—supported by an auditor’s assurance—provides a more reliable and complete picture of a company. It issued a series of recommendations aiming to engage with policymakers and decision-makers alongside stakeholders as well. The deadline to participate in the public consultation has been extended to 18 February 2022. See ACCA’s contribution at https://aeur.eu/f/67 and the consultation at https://bit.ly/34gh1kL (AD)
