Accountancy Europe response to the Commission’s consultation on Fitness check on the EU framework for public reporting by companies

16 July 2018

Accountancy Europe has responded to the EC’s consultation document Fitness check on the EU framework for public reporting by companies. Overall, Accountancy Europe assesses that the EU public reporting framework adds value and is mostly effective and relevant.

However, there is room for improvement, especially related to consistency between different legislative instruments.

Moreover, Accountancy believes that the audit profession can help companies report information that is more reliable with the objective to provide trust and confidence to users. Therefore, Accountancy Europe supports the alignment on EU level of the audit and assurance requirements, the management report and non-financial information disclosures for large and listed entities.

Accountancy Europe has also provided comments regarding long-term and sustainable value creation, non-financial reporting, international/national financial reporting and technology.
