Veron, Nicolas (2011) Suggestions for reforming the governance of global accounting standards. Bruegel Policy Contribution 2011/04, 12 May 2011. [Policy Paper]
Abstract
Public authorities overseeing the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation, through the Monitoring Board in place since early 2009, should encourage the Foundation to make itself more directly accountable to the global investment community. The Monitoring Board should re-examine its own role, composition and processes in the same spirit, one option being its enlargement to include investor representatives, and transformation into a statutory body of the IFRS Foundation. The IFRS Foundation’s funding framework should be better aligned with its governance and accountability arrangements.
