Executive IFRS workshop for regulators, 3-7 June 2013, Vienna
Presented by Darrel Scott, Board Member, IASB
The CFRR and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) jointly organized a five-day Executive IFRS Seminar for financial regulators from 3 to 7 June 2013 in Vienna.
Financial regulators’ ability to effectively supervise the institutions which they are responsible for overseeing and, in particular, to monitor that these institutions are meeting the required prudential standards, including the internationally agreed Basel III rules and the EU’s Solvency II framework for insurance, relies on their understanding of the financial information submitted to them. Most of this information is (directly or indirectly) taken from the financial statements produced by banks and insurance companies. In the EU and in many other countries around the world, these financial statements are drawn up using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) set by the IASB.
However, many financial regulators do not come from an accounting background and have only an imperfect understanding of the principles behind IFRS and of the judgments that are made when the reporting standards are applied in practice. This limits their ability to make full use of the information contained in bank and insurance company financial statements, so making them less effective regulators.
