In January 2015, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) launched a call for candidates for its Consultative Working Group (CWG) for the Corporate Reporting Standing Committee (CRSC).
Following his application, Roger Collinge of BETTER FINANCE's member organisation UKSA (the UK's Shareholders Association) was today appointed to the CWG.
The CRSC advises ESMA on issues related to accounting, audit, periodic reporting and storage of regulated information. CWG members are expected to provide assistance to the CRSC by providing input on its work plan, its projects and broader policy objectives.
This is a further step towards achieving a balanced representation of different types of stakeholders in the CWG such users of financial information, issuers of securities, accountants and auditors, academics as well as other parties involved in the storage of regulated information and its use.
