The European Parliament adopted by 559 votes to 36, with 80 abstentions, a resolution on International Accounting Standards (IAS) evaluation and the activities of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation, the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) and the Public Interest Oversight Board (PIOB).
Importance of IFRS and ISA standards : Members recalled that the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the international standards on auditing (ISA) are one essential component needed for the efficient functioning of the internal market and of the capital markets . The purpose of the IFRS is to strengthen accountability by reducing the information gap between investors and companies, to protect investment, to bring transparency through enhancing the international comparability and quality of financial information, to enable investors and other market participants to make informed economic decisions.
The International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) functions under the umbrella of the IFRS Foundation. The EU contributes around 14 % of the IFRS Foundation’s budget and is therefore its largest financial contributor.
Evaluation of the application of IFRS in the EU ten years since their application : Parliament noted the Commission’s IAS evaluation report on the application of the IFRS in the EU and its assessment that the objectives of the IAS Regulation have been met. It regretted that the Commission has not yet proposed the legal changes that are required to solve the shortcomings identified in its evaluation.
Parliament called on the standard setter to ensure that the IFRS are coherent within the existing body of accounting standards and to promote convergence at international level. It called for a more coordinated approach in developing new standards, including coordinated timelines for application, in particular with regard to the implementation of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and the new IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. It urged the Commission to put forward diligently legal proposals to this end.
Endorsement process and criteria : Members recalled that an IFRS should not be contrary to the true and fair view principle as included in the Accounting Directive, which requires that financial statements must give a ‘true and fair’ view of a company’s assets and liabilities, financial position and profit or loss.
The Commission is asked to:
comply with the Maystadt recommendation regarding expansion of the ‘public good’ criterion , i.e. that accounting standards should neither jeopardise financial stability in the EU nor hinder the EU’s economic development, and to ensure that this criterion will be fully respected during the endorsement process; together with EFRAG, issue clear guidelines on the meaning of the ‘public good’ and the ‘true and fair view’ principle on the basis of ECJ case-law and the Accounting Directive in order to arrive at a common understanding of these endorsement criteria; put forward a proposal to incorporate Maystadt's definition of the 'public good' criterion into the IAS Regulation.
Simplified standards : according to Members, the effects of an accounting standard must be fully understood. It should be a priority for the IASB and EFRAG to strengthen their impact analyses, notably in the field of macroeconomics, and to assess the different needs of the wide variety of stakeholders, including long-term investors and companies, as well as the general public. Moreover, a less complex accounting standards system would contribute to more uniform implementation so that company financial data are comparable between Member States.
Further involvement of the Parliament : the resolution asked the IASB, the Commission and EFRAG to involve Parliament and the Council at an early stage when developing financial reporting standards in general and in the endorsement process in particular. It called on the Commission to create a space for stakeholders to discuss fundamental principles of accounting in Europe and to grant Parliament the possibility of receiving a short list of EFRAG board president candidates. Parliament should play the role of an active promoter of IFRS.
Taking account of SME’s interests : Parliament noted the Commission’s intention to explore with the IASB the possibility of developing common high-quality and simplified accounting standards for SMEs which could be used, on a voluntary basis, at EU level by SMEs listed on Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs), and more specifically SME growth markets. It believed that, as a condition for work to continue in this field, IFRS have to be less complex, and that SME interests should be sufficiently represented on the IASB.
Parliament welcomed the Commission’s intention to examine the case for coordinating the EU rules relating to dividend distribution . It also called on EFRAG and the Commission to examine whether accounting standards allow tax fraud and tax avoidance and to make all the necessary changes to prevent potential abuse.
Activities of the IFRS Foundation, EFRAG and the PIOB : Parliament supported the Commission recommendations that the Monitoring Board of the IFRS Foundation should shift the focus of its attention from the issue of internal organisation to discussing matters of public interest that could be referred to the IFRS Foundation.
Members believed, however that further progress should be made as regards the governance of the IFRS Foundation and the IASB, in particular in terms of transparency, prevention of conflicts of interest and diversity of hired experts. Parliament was particularly in favour of:
the Commission's proposal to consider the reporting needs of investors with different investment time horizons and to provide specific solutions, in particular for long-term investors, when developing their standards; better integration of the IASB into the system of international financial institutions; steps to ensure broad representation (such as consumer representation agencies and finance ministries) of interests and public accountability that will guarantee high-quality accounting standards.
Noting the dominance of private actors on the IASB, Parliament called on the Commission to urge the IFRS Foundation to aim for a more diversified and balanced financing structure , including on the basis of fees and public sources, thus preventing conflicts of interests.
Lastly, Parliament stressed that the EFRAG reform must improve the European contribution to the development of the new IFRS and could participate in the reform of governance of the IFRS Foundation.

The Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs adopted the own-initiative report by Theodor Dumitru STOLOJAN (EPP, RO) on International Accounting Standards (IAS) evaluation and the activities of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation, the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) and the Public Interest Oversight Board (PIOB).
Members recalled that the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the international standards on auditing (ISA) are one essential component needed for the efficient functioning of the internal market and of the capital markets. The purpose of the IFRS is to strengthen accountability by reducing the information gap between investors and companies, to protect investment, to bring transparency through enhancing the international comparability and quality of financial information, to enable investors and other market participants to make informed economic decisions.
The European Union has delegated the development of the international financial accounting standards to the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), an independent self-regulatory private body.
Evaluation of the application of IFRS in the EU ten years since their application : Members noted the Commission’s IAS evaluation report on the application of the IFRS in the EU and its assessment that the objectives of the IAS Regulation have been met. They regretted that the Commission has not yet proposed the legal changes that are required to solve the shortcomings identified in its evaluation.
With regard to the endorsement criteria , Members recalled that an IFRS should not be contrary to the true and fair view principle as included in the Accounting Directive, which requires that financial statements must give a ‘true and fair’ view of a company’s assets and liabilities, financial position and profit or loss.
The Commission is asked to:

Members noted that the effects of an accounting standard must be fully understood : accordingly, it should be a priority for the IASB and EFRAG to strengthen their impact analyses, notably in the field of macroeconomics, and to assess the different needs of the wide variety of stakeholders, including long-term investors and companies, as well as the general public.

Motion for a resolution Citation 1 a (new) - having regard to the Report of the High- Level Group on Financial Supervision in the EU, chaired by Jacques de Larosière, of 25 February 2009
Amendment 10 #
Motion for a resolution Recital A A. whereas the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the international standards on auditing (ISA) are essential instruments for the efficient functioning of the internal market and of the capital markets; whereas the IFRS and ISA are a public good and therefore should enhance financial stability and serve the common good and not only the interest of investors, lenders and creditors;
Amendment 100 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 17 17. Welcomes the fact that in 2014 the PIOB diversified its funding
Amendment 101 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 17 17. Welcomes the fact that in 2014 the PIOB diversified its funding and the IFAC funding contribution was less than two- thirds of the total annual PIOB funding; notes that there was therefore no need for the Commission to limit its annual contribution, as stipulated in Article 9.5 of Regulation (EU) No 258/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council; deplores that in the view of the financial crisis 2007 with several proofs of misstatement and in the light of the Luxleaks scandal 2014, PIOB obviously has failed to ensure integrity in the audit profession; calls, therefore, to put part of the budget into the reserve until PIOB has shown how to address the severe problems incurred;

Amendment 13 #
Motion for a resolution Recital B B. whereas the IFRS can strengthen accountability by reducing the information gap between investors and companies, protecting investment and bringing transparency through enhancing the international comparability and quality of financial information and enabling investors and other market participants to make informed economic decisions, and therefore influence the behaviour of actors in financial markets and impact the stability of these markets; notes, however, that this 'decision-usefulness' model of accounting is not entirely consistent with the 'capital adequacy' function of accounting as described in ECJ jurisprudence and the Accounting Directive suggesting that the conceptual basis of accounting per the IFRS Framework does not encompass the purpose of accounts in EU law for which true and fair view of the specified numbers is the standard, as set out in written answer E-016071/2015 from Lord Hill dated 25.2.2016.
Amendment 14 #
Motion for a resolution Recital B B. whereas the

Amendment 16 #
Motion for a resolution Recital B a (new) Ba. whereas the Accounting Directive states that accounts are "of special importance for the protection of shareholders, members and third parties' and that 'such undertakings offer no safeguards to third parties beyond the amounts of their net assets'; whereas the Accounting Directive also states that its aim is "to protect the interests subsisting in companies with share capital" by ensuring that dividends are not paid out of share capital; whereas this general purpose of accounts can only be fulfilled if the specified numbers in the accounts give a true and fair view of the company's assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss;
Amendment 17 #
Motion for a resolution Recital C C. whereas the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) functions under the umbrella of the IFRS Foundation – a private not-for-profit corporation – and is the standard setter whose processes
Amendment 18 #
Motion for a resolution Recital C C. whereas the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) functions under the umbrella of the IFRS Foundation – a private not-for-profit corporation registered in London/UK and Delaware/US – and is the standard setter whose processes should be transparent, independent, democratic and subject to public accountability; whereas the European Union contributes around 14% to the budget of the IFRS Foundation and therefore is the largest financial contributor;

Motion for a resolution Recital D D. whereas the
Amendment 2 #
Motion for a resolution Citation 2 a (new) - having regard to Directive 2012/30/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 October 2012 on coordination of safeguards which, for the protection of the interests of members and others, are required by Member States of companies within the meaning of the second paragraph of Article 54 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, in respect of the formation of public limited liability companies and the maintenance and alteration of their capital, with a view to making such safeguards equivalent,
Amendment 20 #

Amendment 25 #
Motion for a resolution Recital G G. whereas, within the EU, different stakeholders – particularly long-term investors –– have raised the issue of the consistency of the IFRS with the legal requirements of the Accounting Directive, in particular the principles of prudence and stewardship; whereas emphasis has also been put on strengthening Europe
Amendment 26 #
Motion for a resolution Recital G G. whereas, within the EU, different stakeholders – particularly long-term investors –– have raised the issue of the consistency of the IFRS with the principles of prudence and stewardship; whereas the involvement of the European Parliament in the standard setting process is not sufficient and is not commensurate with the EU budget financial contribution to the IFRS Foundation; whereas emphasis has also been put on strengthening Europe

Amendment 30 #
Motion for a resolution Recital I I. whereas the IASB delivered the IFRS 9 financial instruments as a key response to the crisis; whereas EFRAG’s advice on IFRS 9 was positive with a number of observations (concerning the use of 'fair value' in case of market difficulties, the lack of conceptual basis regarding the 12- month loss provisioning approach, the unsatisfying provisions pertaining to long term investment) and a reserve made on the applicability of the norm to the insurance sector, which is acknowledged by the IASB itself;
Amendment 31 #
Motion for a resolution Recital I I. whereas the IASB delivered the IFRS 9 financial instruments as a key response to the crisis; whereas EFRAG
Amendment 32 #
Motion for a resolution Recital I I. whereas the IASB delivered the IFRS 9 financial instruments as a key response to the crisis; whereas EFRAG’s advice on IFRS 9 was positive; points at the fact though, that there still are concerns that the proposed accounting treatment of equity may negatively affect long-term investments;

Amendment 43 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Notes that the true and fair view test of Article 4(3) of Directive 2013/34/EU applies to the specified numbers in the accounts as the standard for the purpose of accounts prepared according to European law described in Recitals 3 and 29 of the same directive; highlights that this purpose is related to the capital adequacy function of accounts, i.e. that investors, both creditors and shareholders, use the numbers in the annual accounts as the basis to determine whether a company is "net asset" solvent and to determine dividend payments;
Amendment 44 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 b (new) 2b. Emphasises that a core component of achieving the true and fair view of the specified numbers in the accounts is prudent valuation, which means no understating of losses or overstating of profits, as described in Article 6.1(c)i and ii of the Accounting Directive; points out that this interpretation of the Accounting Directive has been confirmed by numerous ECJ rulings;
Amendment 45 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 c (new) 2c. Notes that Recital 9 of the IAS Regulation allows a degree of flexibility when making a decision to endorse an IFRS by not requiring "a strict conformity with each and every provision of those Directives"; suggests however that this does not extend to allowing IFRS to deviate so far from the general purpose of the 2013 Accounting Directive, which replaced the 4th and 7th Accounting Directives referenced in Article 3.2(i) of the IAS Regulation, that the result of doing so would result in financial statements that overstate profits or understate losses; considers, in this regard, that the endorsement of IAS 39 was possibly contrary to this general purpose of the 4th and 7th Accounting Directives, superseded by the 2013 Accounting Directive, due to its incurred loss model, in particular Article 31. 1 (bb) of the Fourth Council Directive 78/660/EEC, which stated "all foreseeable liabilities and potential losses arising in the course of the financial year concerned or of a previous one [should be measured and recognised], even if such liabilities or losses become apparent only between the date of the balance sheet and the date on which it is drawn up";
Amendment 46 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 3. Welcomes the intention of the IASB to reintroduce the principle of
Amendment 47 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 3. Welcomes the intention of the IASB to reintroduce the principle of
Amendment 48 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. Takes note of the reform regarding the recognition of losses in the IFRS framework which should allow for a more prudent build-up of loss provisions on the basis of the forward looking concept of loss expectation instead of incurred losses; is of the opinion that the EU endorsement process needs to carefully and prudently frame the way the expected loss concept is to be specified so as to avoid model overreliance and make possible clear supervisory guidance an asset impairment;
Amendment 49 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a.
