IFAC is submitting this comment letter to accelerate the journey towards a coherent global system for reporting sustainability information.
In answer to the fundamental issues at stake—is there a need for a global set of internationally recognized sustainability reporting requirements and should the IFRS Foundation play a leading role through the establishment of a new sustainability standards board—IFAC believes, based on extensive stakeholder outreach, that the answer is a resounding “Yes.”
The outbreak of COVID-19 and the subsequent economic recession have required substantial and rapidly deployed government interventions across the world. IFAC and the MOSAIC Steering Committee partners are delighted to host the Building Resilient and Sustainable Economies Forum, which will be held online December 7 - 11, 2020.
What if we could see into the future? What if today we could know the events and forces that will shape our profession? What if we could design learning and development programs to not only prepare accountants for today’s challenges but also to anticipate tomorrow’s challenges?
Together with ICAEW, The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) today released the third installment in its Anti-Money Laundering: The Basics educational series: Installment 3: Company Formation.
The publication is part of a 6-month short series helping accountants enhance their understanding of how money laundering works, the risks they face, and what they can do to mitigate these risks and make a positive contribution to the public interest. Installment three examines company formation, one of the services performed by professional accountants that is most susceptible to money laundering risk.
Anti-Money Laundering: The Basics is featured on both the IFAC and ICAEW websites and available for download for free. With installment three, IFAC is featuring the series on a new landing page alongside other relevant information on anti-money laundering (AML).
To be globally relevant, the Anti-Money Laundering: The Basics series uses the risk-based approach of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) – the global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog -- as a starting point.
