Corporate Governance & Compliance - Current Developments and Trends in Europe
Combined Session
Tuesday, May 08, 2007 11:00—12:00
The European Union just recently adopted numerous directives, introducing a whole string of additional requirements for a “new” form of corporate governance. In this context, the changes to the Fourth, Seventh and Eighth EU Directives as well as the Transparency Directive are in the focus of particular interest - their provisions will intervene significantly in the corporate governance of all impacted companies.
The new requirements aim at further boosting the confidence of market participants in the financial statements and annual reports of European companies and at greater transparency for investors and are intended to improve the safeguards against accounting scandals in the European Union.
