EFAMA replied to IASB’s Request for Information on the Post-Implementation Review of IFRS 10, 11 and 12.

ICMA’s AMIC and EFAMA have submitted a joint response to the IOSCO consultation on fund liquidity management by open-ended funds.

The European Commission has published a proposal for a Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), paving the way for much-needed mandatory European sustainability reporting standards (ESS).

EFAMA, therefore, encourages the co-legislators to maintain the ambition of this proposal.
