Goals / Remit
EFRAG – European Financial Reporting Advisory Group – is a private association established in 2001 with the encouragement of the European Commission to serve the public interest.
EFRAG’s mission is to serve the European public interest by developing and promoting European views in the field of financial reporting and ensuring that these views are properly considered in the IASB’s standard-setting process and in related international debates. EFRAG ultimately provides advice to the European Commission on whether newly issued or revised IFRS Standards meet the criteria of the IAS Regulation.
EFRAG seeks input from all stakeholders, and obtains evidence about specific European circumstances, throughout the standard-setting process and in providing its endorsement advice.
EFRAG is operating in a fast-evolving environment. It is attentive to the need to adapt its activities and its governance to meet new opportunities and challenges in corporate reporting.Main EU files targeted
EFRAG provides European input into the development of IFRS Standards issued by the IASB and provides the European Commission with technical expertise and advice on accounting matters and corporate reporting. This advice includes the endorsement advice in conformity with the 1606-2002 “IAS Regulation”. EFRAG has established within EFRAG at the request of the EC a European Corporate Reporting Lab (European Lab) with as aim to stimulate innovations in the field of corporate reporting in Europe by identifying and sharing good practices. EFRAG is active in the sustainability reporting field, notably with the two mandates of the European Commission on EU non-financial reporting standard setting on which the reports with recommendations were published early March 2021. In the proposal for a CSRD EFRAG is identified as technical advisor to the European Commission providing draft European sustainability reporting Standards. In a letter dated 12 May 2021 Commissioner McGuinness invited EFRAG to start as soon as possible on the development of draft standards in project mode and on the governance reform to integrate the sustainability reporting pillar into the EFRAG structure
