Financial reporting is still subject to many changes. These affect regulations and annual reports and other publications. This year the symposium deals with important issues such as: communication through the financial statements, accounting standards, intangibles, integrated reporting, and auditing. 

This symposium brings together a series of high profile speakers to discuss these developments and their effect on the future of financial reporting. The symposium provides a forum for both practitioners and academics to hear and engage in the debate with the following well-informed speakers. The symposium presentations and discussions should also serve as a valuable teaching aid for those academics engaged in teaching financial reporting and contemporary issues in accounting at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. 

Speakers

Ann Tarca, Board Member of the International Accounting Standards Board: The IASB and Better Communication projects: Improving communication through the financial statements.
