Strengthening the quality of corporate reporting and its enforcement in the EU

The EU corporate reporting framework has been developed with the purpose of ensuring that companies publish the right quantity and quality of relevant information with the ultimate purpose of allowing investors and other interested stakeholders to assess companies’ performance and governance and to take decisions based on that.

The consultation aims to evaluate the impact of the EU framework on the three pillars of high quality and reliable corporate reporting: corporate governance, statutory audit and supervision. This position paper is based on ESBG’s response to the consultation.
The European Commission adopted its proposal for a EUGBS in July 2021 and later launched a public consultation. In this context, ESBG has recently finalised a position paper that indicated some of the main concerns with the adopted proposal.
