CZ: Financial Reporting Project

Proyecto terminado

Despite major reforms by the New EU Member States to their legal and regulatory frameworks governing corporate sector accounting and auditing, there is a substantial unfinished institutional development agenda in the field of financial reporting. The Financial Reporting Technical Assistance Program provides support
to five national administrations (in the Czech Republic as well as in Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Slovenia) which face capacity constraints and challenges in fully implementing, both in law and in practice, the very demanding obligations imposed by the rapidly-evolving acquis communautaire in this field.

Contexto Preparing for their accession to the EU in 2004, the new EU Member States undertook major reforms to their legal and regulatory frameworks governing corporate sector financial reporting. However, less emphasis was placed on the creation and/or strengthening of the institutional and human capacity required to ensure effective implementation and enforcement of the acquis in practice, and it is now evident that there is a substantial unfinished institutional development agenda in the field of financial reporting.
Objetivos
  • Better decision-making and enhanced financial transparency and governance of the corporate sector.
