EFRAG-OIC outreach event “Financial Statement Presentation”

EFRAG and the Organismo Italiano di Contabilità (OIC) would like to invite you to participate in an Outreach event. The aim of this event is to assist the IASB in its efforts to gather views from European constituents on decisions made to date on the Financial Statement Presentation project, prior to finalising the exposure draft and to inform itself of whether and to what extent, EFRAG’s preliminary views are representative of European views. The event will be attended by IASB representatives.

The IASB Financial Statement Presentation proposals mark a significant change compared to current standards. It is important that issuers, investors and auditors make their voices heard. The event is a significant opportunity for European constituents to contribute to influencing the development of the IASB project in line with Europe’s expectations.

The Outreach event is scheduled to take place in Rome on 26 November 2010 from 14.00 to 17.30 hrs. Details of the location will be communicated to the participants nearer the meeting date.

The objectives of the event are:
• to present the IASB’s tentative decisions;
• to present EFRAG’s tentative views, highlighting the areas of support and focusing on the areas of concern;
• to seek views from constituents in Europe on the proposals; and
• to seek views from constituents in Europe on possible improvements to those proposals. 

To register for the event, please use the separate registration form. We would appreciate your registration form by 26 October 2010.
Responses received after that date will be accommodated, logistics permitting.
