Activities:

The ESSEC-KPMG Financial Reporting Centre specialises in financial reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

It produces a monthly report on the standard-setting meetings of the IASB and publishes research into the application of IFRS. It also provides specialist studies for ESSEC students who intend to follow a career in international financial reporting.

The ESSEC-KPMG Financial Reporting Centre is host to the European Financial Reporting Research Network (EUFIN).

Objectives:

The Financial Reporting Centre aims to be a centre of excellence for reporting to the capital markets. It aims to publish studies of relevance to practitioners and research that contributes to the body of academic studies in international accounting and financial reporting. It also provides specialist education to students wishing to build a career in international accounting. It is able to act as an interface between business and the international standard-setter.
