At the request of the CONT Committee of the European Parliament, this study has been prepared as background information for work on the legislative Own Initiative Report on the digitalisation of European reporting, monitoring and audit. Building on the findings of the study on ‘The largest 50 beneficiaries in each EU Member State of CAP and Cohesion Funds’, this study assesses the requirements for a single EU database of beneficiaries. Such a database would overcome the current fragmentation in ...

This paper updates and summarises earlier briefings on the Wirecard case, ahead of a public hearing on 23 March organised by the JURI and ECON Committees of the European Parliament. It also describes the most recent developments on the basis of information available in the public domain.

This briefing, prepared for a scrutiny session of the ECON Committee, provides background on the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 17 Insurance Contracts which will have a major impact on the accounting of insurance companies. IFRS 17 was issued by the IASB in 2017; the Parliament adopted a resolution on 3 October 2018. As some remaining issues were raised at EU level, the IASB has issued amendments to IFRS 17 on 25 June 2020. The next step for endorsement was the EFRAG's consultation ...

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are issued by an international private organisation, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In order to become binding law in the EU, they must be ‘endorsed’ in a specific procedure prescribed in Article 3(1) and 6 Regulation No 1606/2002 and Articles 5a(1)-(4) and Article 10-11 Council Decision 1999/468/EC, i.e. the ‘Regulatory Procedure with Scrutiny’. All standards and interpretations are adopted as Commission Regulations to have ...

Weak banks and their auditors have incentives to overstate bank asset values. In its dialogue with the auditor, the supervisor should stress the need for unbiased accounting data. However, only a supervisor that does not need to apply regulatory forbearance to distressed banks can credibly insist on receiving unbiased accounting data. The introduction of bail-in as the main avenue to resolve failed banks offers the prospect of ending the need for regulatory forbearance, and of improving the quality ...

This external paper (authors Willem Pieter De Groen, Daniel Gros, Center for European Policy Studies, November 2015), requested by the ECON Committee, assesses whether further bridge financing could potentially be needed for the Single Resolution Fund during the transitional period from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2023.

The Single Resolution Board (SRB) will be responsible for the resolution of banks in the euro area from 1 January 2016. However, the resources of the Single Resolution Fund (SRF) at the disposal of the SRB will only gradually be built up until 2023. This paper provides estimates of the potential financing needs of the SRF, based on the euro area bank resolutions that actually occurred between 2007 and 2014. We find that the SRF would have been asked to put a total amount of about €72 billion into ...

IFRS 9 introduces new impairment rules responding to the G20 critique that IAS 39 results in the delayed and insufficient recognition of credit losses. In a case study of a Greek government bond for the period 2009 to 2011 when Greece’s credit rating declined sharply, this study highlights the discretion that preparers have when estimating impairments. IFRS 9 relies more on management expectations and will lead to earlier impairments. However, these appear still delayed and low if compared to the ...

IFRS Endorsement Criteria in Relation to IFRS 9

Проучване 15-10-2015

IAS Regulation 1606/2002 introduces three criteria for the endorsement of an international accounting standard, a ‘true and fair view’ criterion, qualitative criteria, and a ‘European public good’ criterion. In this study, these criteria are described against the background of European accounting law and academic accounting research. Then, the paper evaluates whether the new IFRS 9 standard on accounting for financial instruments meets these criteria. We conclude that the standard cannot reasonably ...

This paper examines the interaction of the IFRS 9 expected credit loss model with supervisory rules and discusses potential implications for financial stability. IFRS 9 is more closely aligned with bank supervision, incorporates earlier and larger impairment allowances, and thus, is likely to mitigate the procyclical tendencies of the IAS 39 incurred loss approach. Combined with improved transparency, IFRS 9 might enhance financial stability. However, the potential benefits of the standard will crucially ...
