  5. The focus of our work

  6. We work with governments, regulators and industry to ensure highest standards in finance and accounting profession are maintained. Our members provide technical and ethical financial knowledge and guidance to individuals and organizations worldwide.

  7. Our thought leadership programme looks ahead at long term issues from the financial sector and helps to shape government thinking, such as regulatory, business and tax policy.

  8. I believe in transparency and accountability – hallmarks of our profession and principles worth defending.

  9. Transparent financial information Comparable across markets So that investors can make informed decisions It is the most important responsibilities of our profession.

  10. Over the last years we have strengthened our engagement with policymakers in the UK, US and the European Commission in Brussels. We have: • Given evidence to the SEC in Washington • Events and meetings with officials and legislators in Brussels • Produced submission to the G20 Summit in London Dialog with government at the highest levels ensures the issues we care about are put on the agenda.

  11. The representations we make, are considered authoritative and of value in helping to shape and influence economic and business policy discussions. We are convinced that the global financial and economic crisis requires a global economic response.

  12. “Current global economic crisis has demonstrated once again the interconnectedness of the world in which we live.” Peter Mandelson

  13. It is essential that the principles of transparency and accountability are backed up by sound regulation, integrity, international co-operation and institutional reform.

  14. Amid all the uncertainties, partnerships, such as that between our two institutions, will be key to a successful recovery and I look forward to our growing relationship in the years ahead.
