The Civil Commission is composed of authoritative jurists especially in the field of company law, particularly experts in the legal discipline of the annual and consolidated financial statements. Experts in corporate and tax law designated by the Founders attend the meeting as observers;
The Working Group on International accounting standards is made up of experts in IFRSs (preparers, auditors/accounting profession, user, academics). It is involved in the analysis of the documents issued by the IASB and EFRAG, the issues relating to the implementation of the new standards, the decisions of the IFRS Interpretation Committee and the application of IFRS standards.

The permanent groups are then flanked by working groups set up by the Executive Board for specific projects such as that on financial instruments, the Rate-regulation Activities project, insurance contracts, the specificities of the financial statements of the cooperative sector and the accounting principles for third sector entities.
