Report on 12th Workshop on European Financial Reporting

This year, the European Financial Reporting Research Group (EUFIN) workshop was hosted by the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences of the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) from September 1-2, 2016. Before a series of parallel sessions, the conference started the first day with a plenary session presented by Andreas Bergmann (Zurich University of Applied Sciences, and IPSASB Chair 2010-2015), Lachka Brahim (United Nations – Geneva), Thierry Kenel (CFO, Swatch Group) and Franck Missonier-Piera (University of Fribourg, Chair) to discuss the use of alternative accounting standards such as International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and Swiss GAAP (i.e. for local firms) compared to IFRS. The next day started with the second panel session on “What is performance?” presented by Mario Abela (Corporate Reporting and Research Director, Gather London and ICAS Research Committee member), Richard Barker (Professor of Accounting, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford), Christian Dreyer CFA (CEO of CFA Society Switzerland) and chaired by Yannis Tsalavoutas (Professor, University of Glasgow).

Over the two days, the two panels and the 34 research papers that were presented were well appreciated by the 80 workshop participants from 17 different countries. See papers and pictures at http://events.unifr.ch/eufin16/. Hope to see you in Florence next year, August 31st and September 1st 2017!
